After finishing, Lin Hu put the contents in a transparent glass and bought some straws from the mall.
The portion was quite large, so Lin Hu took a cup out to Duan Linzhou and placed it on the table next to him.
He then gave everyone else a cup, and after trying it, they found it tasted good and felt refreshed. Only then did he prepare to continue making more. His Linghu Department Store not only sells seafood but also fruit tea.
Cheng Yuan and the others won't start putting their products on the shelves until 4 PM, so he can make some fruit tea to sell now and won't compete with them for business in the afternoon.
At noon, Duan Bohai bought the first batch of ingredients from Linhu, preparing to open for business.
Lin Hu sold it to the other party at the lowest price he could afford, since if the other party made a profit, he would also have an income.
Duan Bohai knew that a few people in Linhu were going to start selling ingredients, so he set the prices reasonably, about the same as before the apocalypse.
Using a level 1 crystal core as equivalent to one dollar, a serving of stir-fried green peppers and pork only costs 25-30 crystal cores. The price may change as abilities improve and the level of crystal cores obtained increases.
At noon, Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou were too lazy to cook any dishes, so they cooked some rice and went to Duan Bohai's place to buy stir-fried vegetables.
As a result, there were too many people buying, and Duan Bohai's men started queuing up for people. They had no choice but to go through the back door and ask Duan Bohai to let them get priority.
One serving of stir-fried green peppers with pork, one serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and one serving of eggplant with minced meat.
After finishing his meal, Lin Hu continued making his fruit teas, including grape jelly and green grape jasmine.
However, jasmine is a bit expensive to buy in the mall, so he thought he might as well grow some himself.
But he's a bit broke now. He can't use the previous 100 level-3 crystal cores because he has to use them to buy lemon tree crystal cores. He only has 5,000 level-3 crystal cores left, which he has to save for the raft in case of emergency.
His raft now has a lot of modern machines that need crystal cores to maintain, especially his marine probe, which requires 300 level-3 crystal cores a month to maintain since it was upgraded to level three.
Although Duan Linzhou gave him 5,000 level-one crystal cores as rent every month, there was no guarantee that something wouldn't happen, so he still worked hard to earn crystal cores and plant things all over the island.
After Duan Linzhou cleaned up the tables outside, he came in to help wash and cut the fruit.
After working for two hours, I made nearly 200 cups: 76 cups of grape jelly, 17 cups of sea salt cherry, 43 cups of green grape jasmine, and 52 cups of peach smoothie.
Lin Hu took one cup of each to input into the fruit tea machine before packaging them all up and putting them in the market to be displayed in his shop.
The cups used to hold fruit tea are all plastic. The plastic is all caught at sea and made into cylindrical plastic cups using a workbench. Items made using a workbench become brand new.
However, even with the upgraded workbench, the plastic material can only be used to make some common items, such as water cups, toothbrush cups, washbasins, plastic buckets, and rubber slippers.
To make plastic cups like those from before the apocalypse, you'd probably need blueprints.
Lin Hu took some more grapes and peaches to make fruit tea for the machine, set the number of cups, and then went back to the sofa to lie down and check how the sales were going.
[Zhao X: Holy crap, what's going on today? Why are all the big shots getting all worked up?]
【？？？：Yeah, if I hadn't recognized the shop name, I would have thought it was a big shot from the merged 50 districts】
Lin Hu and his team frequently appear in the trading market, and many people already recognize their shop.
District 66 also generally recognizes "Boss Zhou," Duan Family Pharmacy, Wen's Winery, and Linghu Department Store as the big bosses of their district.
Now there's a Duan Family Restaurant, and Linghu Department Store has started selling fruit tea.
[Deng xx: Stop chatting and go buy it! The big boss is benefiting us, so we're just happy to receive it.]
[Qian Xiaomo: Is your district really that powerful?]
[?: 60,000 people survived the dense fog, what do you think?]
Qian Xiaofei: Holy crap!
【? : Holy crap, only 30,000+ people survived in our district】
[Qian Xiaofei: May I ask which expert in your region is carrying me? I'd also like to be carried.]
【? : Of course it's Boss Zhou.】
[?: However, Boss Zhou is a very mysterious person. Nobody knows his full name, and only their insiders can contact him.]
[Fang XX: Stop chatting, the fruit tea is almost sold out. [Image]]
[Fang XX: Someone predicts this natural disaster will be an extreme heatwave. Linghu Department Store sells fruit tea that has a cooling effect, go quickly!]
[Yang xx: Who said that?]
[Fang xx: This was said by an uncle who claimed to have worked at the meteorological bureau in the live broadcast area. He should still be broadcasting. Go watch the live broadcast yourself #Zhang Hailong's Live Broadcast Room.]
【? : Do we even need to predict this? Don't you guys feel the heat yourself?】
...
Lin Hu also checked out that live stream, but thought it wasn't as interesting as the one where they went to the island to kill mutated beasts, so he switched to another live stream. As a result, he saw a pretty girl telling stories on live stream.
Lin Hu just watched it anyway. He came in halfway through and hadn't heard anything before, but now he was watching the part where the girl and boy were confessing their love.
"We were a good match, and my family approved of our relationship. But when I confessed my feelings to him, he refused because he was thinking about his family business." The girl said, wiping away imaginary tears with a tissue. Many people thought it was fake, but many empathetic people sympathized and comforted the girl in the public chat.
“I was heartbroken that time, but I don’t blame him, and I won’t give up on him. I heard he’s in this district. I wanted to ask, Brother Linzhou, if you’re watching my live stream, please contact me. I miss you so much.” Qin Yaoyao said, looking up at the camera as if she could see the person she was thinking of outside the screen.
Lin Hu then realized that the girl was telling her own love story. As for Lin/zhou, he immediately thought of Duan Linzhou, but it could also be Lin Zhou? Or Ling Zhou.
Feeling bored, he left the live stream area and went to the fruit tea machine to get some fruit tea to put in his shop.
"What's wrong? You seem distracted?" Duan Linzhou had just come downstairs and entered the living room when he saw Lin Hu lost in thought. Sensing that she was a bit absent-minded, he asked her.
"It's nothing," Lin Hu replied casually, his eyes lowered. He genuinely felt it was nothing, just a bit lacking in motivation.
"Is he sick again?" Duan Linzhou frowned and reached out to touch Lin Hu's forehead.
"Not hot at all? Is it because the weather is hot and you're not feeling energetic?" Duan Linzhou asked with concern.
When Lin Hu's hand reached out, his heart skipped a beat. He turned his head slightly, not daring to look at Duan Linzhou, his hands clasped at his sides, his fingertips unconsciously tightening the hem of his white T-shirt.
The other person's voice was muffled and he couldn't quite hear it. He thought to himself, "Why is this person so nice to everyone? Like a mother hen."
When Duan Linzhou withdrew his hand, he intentionally or unintentionally touched Lin Hu's slightly red earlobe.
"I...I'm a little sleepy, I'll go upstairs and take a nap first."
Lin Hu felt as if he had been electrocuted, and after stammering out his words, he ran back upstairs.
Duan Linzhou watched as the person fled like a frightened rabbit, not even daring to look at him while speaking. A knowing smile played on his lips as he stared at the fleeing figure.
