Chapter 36 Opening a Specialty Store



"Yes, they seem to have started doing business now, but they definitely don't have as many resource crystals as our family," Xu Lan continued.

"What's Brother Linzhou's ID? I want to add him." Qin Yaoyao had completely forgotten what had just happened and was thinking about what to say as the first thing after adding him as a friend.

Seeing his daughter's heart fluttering with affection, he spoke up and said, "Don't you like that boy from the Duan family? Our family is definitely more powerful than theirs now. Later, I'll discuss it with your father and have that boy marry into our family."

Xu Lan actually looks down on the Duan family, but since her daughter likes them, she'll reluctantly agree to become in-laws.

"Really? Thank you, Mom. You're the best!"

The two chatted for a while, but she was daydreaming the whole time, fantasizing about a passionate and sweet romance.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled light onto the floor and reflecting off the ceiling.

When Lin Hu woke up, Duan Linzhou was no longer in the bedroom. He lay down to clear his head and check out the updated system.

I took a quick look at the chat area to understand the merged areas and their current status.

There are two major forces in District 50. One is the Qin family, which has about a hundred followers.

The other one is Cheng Qingwei, who is relatively low-key. It is unclear how many people he has under his command. All that is known is that he has two nieces named Qian Xiaomo and Qian Xiaofei, who are twins.

Lin Hu glanced at the live stream section again. Most of the streamers were faceless, exploring islands for supplies, killing mutated beasts, and doing crafts. Very few people showed their faces; after all, the apocalypse had lasted so long, and without cosmetics or skincare products, most people's skin couldn't withstand it.

Lin Hu watched the live stream for a while, during which he collected the supplies on the island through the system interface of 1097, before contacting Duan Bohai.

After handing over the cooking machine to the other party and explaining how to use it, the two reached a verbal agreement to split the profits 30/70: Lin Hu would receive 30% and Duan Bohai 70%.

Actually, it's about 40/60 split, since Duan Bohai sells stir-fries and the cost of buying vegetables isn't small.

Lin Hu then approached Jiang Qiaomei, giving her the garment machine and cotton seeds, agreeing to split the profits 30/70. He had originally planned for 20/80, since the cotton was being grown by the family, and he felt bad taking more than his share.

Lin Hu still has a lot of supplies, all of which he sells through his two shops. He's afraid that if one shop becomes too dominant, he won't have any peace of mind.

After all, no one can keep their identity forever. If they are exposed, being bothered by others is a minor issue, but what if they are wanted by the entire community?

I thought about who else might have free time.

Wen Bo had previously focused his research on beer, and now he was concentrating on researching other types of alcohol, so Lin Hu didn't disturb him.

Wang Fuqing was running a weapons shop, Wen Mofei was researching planting, and Lin Hu didn't contact them either.

Finally, open your own small group:

[Lin Hu: @Everyone, is there anyone whose shop hasn't listed anything?]

[Sun Xiaoxiao: I'm selling honey and bamboo shoots.] Sun Xiaoxiao's raft was still near that bamboo forest island. After her superpowers improved, she went to the island to explore for resources. She also found many wildflowers and saw bees collecting honey. She secretly followed them and obtained some honey.

Zhang Hu: I'm selling silk quilts made by my wife.

[Xi Yuan: Selling beds.]

[Willow Catkins: Brother Lin, what do you want to sell? My shop only sells some miscellaneous items, which can be taken down at any time.]

[Lin Hu: I want to find a few shops to sell vegetables and fruits, and the crystal cores will be split 20/80.] Lin Hu didn't specify who would get 20% and who would get 80%, but everyone understood which share they should get.

Cheng Yuan: My shop sells instant noodles, but I can sell it to Miaomiao.

[Willow Catkins: Brother Lin, I can too.]

[Zhang Hu: Little boss, I can do that too.]

[Lin Hu: Aren't you selling silk quilts? The shop I chose only allows you to sell them exclusively.]

Zhang Hu lay on a beach chair outside his raft, the blazing sun shining on his blue and yellow parasol. Upon seeing Lin Hu's message, he excitedly jumped off the chair.

People who can grow their own fresh vegetables are secretly happy. Lin Hu was able to open a shop, which he thinks was probably at the behest of Boss Zhou.

If you can sell them in your own shop, not only will the shop's name become famous, but your own income will also be considerable.

Zhang Hu: My wife can sell them herself.

Lin Hu: Okay, then it's the three of you. I'll contact you later.

Lin Hu planned to have Cheng Yuan sell vegetables, Liu Xu sell fruits, Zhang Hu sell meat and eggs, and he himself would have two shops: Linghu Department Store selling river delicacies, and Boss Zhou's shop specializing in attack fruits.

After making arrangements in his mind, he got up, washed up, and had breakfast with Duan Linzhou.

He took a pen and paper from the warehouse, drafted several contracts, signed his name and survival game ID number, stamped them with his fingerprint, and sent two copies to the three people.

The group quickly signed the document, affixed their fingerprints, and sent a copy back to Lin Hu.

Lin Hu officially delivered the goods to the group. The mall still has a limit of 500 per item, but it only limits the quantity, not the weight.

However, he stipulated that each person could not sell more than two kilograms per serving, and also set a limit of one serving per person to prevent anyone from maliciously buying more and reselling.

Lin Hu then dug out several boxes of account books and pens that he had scavenged when he landed on the island in the extreme cold, and sent one to each of the three people.

He wasn't worried about what the others might think, since they would only blame "Boss Zhou" if they had any complaints.

After finishing all that, it was already noon. Lin Hu was fine indoors, but it got a bit hot when he came out.

Now Duan Linzhou is too hot to explore the nearby islands anymore. He spends his days collecting attack fruits and fishing for treasure chests. But that's a story for another time.

Lin Hu put the ice maker in the kitchen, made some ice cubes, and prepared to research fruit tea.

He really likes grape and watermelon drinks, so today he'll start by researching grapes.

He bought a tool kit for milk tea shops from the mall. The kit cost him 100 Tri-Crystal Cores. He couldn't help but ask 1097 how many Crystal Cores it would take to make it have a physical form. His fist had been hard for quite some time.

Fortunately, 1097 was quick-witted and made a quick getaway.

Lin Hu didn't argue with him; he could earn it back himself. Since he only knew how to make some simple fruit teas, he even bought a book on fruit tea.

Make grape jelly first. If you don't have lemons, you don't need to use them yet. You can buy one later and plant it on the raft. Besides, lemon water is definitely better than watermelon.

Lin Hu first washed the grapes according to the instructions, then peeled them, boiled the peels in a pot to make jelly, and then mashed a small portion of the grape pulp and placed it at the bottom of the cup. The remaining grape pulp was blended with ice cubes in a blender to make shaved ice. After the shaved ice was cooked, white sugar and agar-agar powder were added and stirred. After cooling, it was ready to be poured into a cup.

Lin Hu placed some ice blocks under the mold to make it cool faster.

While waiting for the frozen dessert to cool down, Lin Hu went to the living room to sit and wait, and also looked at some other fruit tea recipes.
