Chapter 68 Extremely Hot [VIP]
Tang Tian took out a small knife and cut the meat from the smoked pig's head. Finally, she cut out about two taels of meat and put it back.
As soon as Tantan saw the whole pig's head, his tail spun like a propeller and his mouth immediately started to spit, leaving a trail of saliva on the ground.
People are not delicious, but meat is delicious!
Tang Tian smiled and took out two smoked pig tails from the warehouse.
After teasing it for a while, I took out the dog bowl and put it in there, and also put a lot of dog food and freeze-dried food in it, letting it eat it to its heart's content.
After eating so much food, Tantan started to dislike dog food. But since he was out and needed to use up the stockpiled dog food, he finally started to nibble on it.
So as a reward, Tang Tian took out another good thing.
This is the cheese she made in the cheese maker using milk!
However, cheese is not a necessity for Chinese people. Tang Tian made a batch of cheese because she bought a cheese machine and occasionally wanted to improve her quality of life.
But later, as she was making it, she thought that maybe Tan Tan would like it. As a result, when she took it out, Tan Tan almost jumped on her.
Just think of it as dessert after dinner!
With a snap, she opened the beer can and used some of her ice-attribute abilities to cool the beer to just the right temperature. A sip was refreshing.
The self-heating rice sizzled, indicating it was ready. Opening the lid, steam mingled with a rich aroma filled the air.
Mix the side dishes with the rice until each grain of rice is covered with the soup. At this point, a bite of rice, a bite of pork head, and a sip of wine is simply too refreshing.
All eaten, Tang Tian rubbed her belly.
I have never fought such a rich battle!
Tan Tan also finished his share of food. Tang Tian first collected the garbage, and then used his water-attribute ability to wash the dog bowl. Except for the lingering fragrance in the warehouse, nothing else was left.
Tang Tian randomly took out a few toys and threw them to Tan Tan, then took out another piece of raw stone and sat cross-legged in the open tent, thinking.
She can use the system to check that there is jade inside, but how can she take the jade out?
Although all the rough stones in Yu Hongchuan's warehouse were given to him, he didn't have a cutting machine. But even if he had one, he probably wouldn't know how to use it.
When you are in doubt, you have to try your supernatural powers!
After searching through the existing recipes, Tang Tian finally found one that was fairly useful.
But that’s also an old face—Garlic Spare Ribs with Gold Attribute LV8!
However, this was also a solution she and the system had jointly discussed.
First use the metal property to make a saw blade, and then control the cutting of the raw stone. This method cannot be done without the ability of LV5 or above.
No matter what, let's give it a try first, and if it doesn't work, we can find a new way.
So Tang Tian first made a plate of golden, crispy and fragrant garlic spare ribs. After eating only a few pieces, he gained superpowers, and the rest was stored in the warehouse.
He found some scrap metal and used the metal properties to make a circular slice.
Spots of golden light appeared in her palm, and the slice slowly floated in the air under her control, and then began to rotate at high speed.
Tang Tian quickly controlled the rotating slice to approach the original stone and slowly began to cut.
There was a sizzling sound and stone chips flew everywhere.
This time as an experiment, she took out a piece of raw stone weighing about two kilograms, so in the end, she really cut it into two halves.
When I opened it, I saw that there was jade, but according to the system calculation, it was only about 200 grams.
Tang Tian frowned.
Is my luck so bad? The yield rate of the first rough stone is only 10%!
Forget it, it’s still early, let’s get on with it!
…
Since Tang Tian was alone, she planned to pick out some small raw stones for cutting first.
By the way, he also opened a few mint candies and put them in his mouth, slowly recovering his lost mental strength.
Four or five small raw stones were cut in one go, and a total of about 1,500 grams of jade was produced.
It may not seem like much, but by spending money on the system, you can already get more than 1.7 million gold coins!
Tang Tian hissed and cheered secretly.
If Yu Hongchuan finishes cutting all of these jadeite stones, if nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely earn tens of millions of gold coins...
This... can the system be cleared directly?
Moreover, relying solely on these raw stones, she wouldn't have to rush to exchange them for valuables for a while, and could just rest and lie down for a while!
Thinking of this, Tang Tian felt happy and stopped cutting off ties for the time being, preparing to go back and be with Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia.
Just as he was about to lie down in his sleeping bag to rest, Tan Tan, who had been lying down, suddenly stood up and barked towards the door.
Tang Tian frowned. She didn't turn on the headlights in the warehouse, and there were no windows. How could anyone outside notice that she was here?
She had no choice but to silently take out her weapon and tiptoe to the door.
Listening carefully, I heard some movement outside.
You went there and never came out?"
"I can see it clearly, it's real, and it was opened with a key. It must belong to the owner of this warehouse. This warehouse is of such high quality. We haven't been able to break it open for so long. There must be a lot of good things in it. We must go in and take a look!"
"There are indeed people and dogs in here..."
After discussing for a while, the people outside actually started smashing the door with tools, shouting:
Curry's stuff!
"In this world, can you take it all by yourself?!"
Tang Tian guessed that these were probably other survivors living in this warehouse park, or that this park had become a shelter after its development.
Yu Hongchuan was reluctant to throw away all his hard work and he was not short of money, so he put all the remaining raw stones into this high-end warehouse. However, this group of people misunderstood and thought that there were really some good materials inside.
It's just because they have never successfully entered the warehouse, so they don't know that it is just a stone that is completely useless to them.
But since her whereabouts have been discovered, even if she opens the warehouse door and lets them in to check, they will surely not let her go.
In short, this war is inevitable.
Tang Tian drew out his knife, touched Tan Tan's head as a signal, and raised his hand to open the warehouse door.
She decided to strike first.
Fortunately, there were not many survivors in the warehouse area, only about thirty people who were huddled together.
Tang Tian has enhanced his strength, speed and defense, especially his endurance which he strengthened today, it was like an unparalleled lawn mowing rally.
After more than twenty minutes, the group of people had fallen to the ground one by one, groaning one after another.
Tantan barked twice, looking extremely proud. Although not yet an adult, he still had the childish demeanor of a puppy.
The survivors lost their resistance, and Tang Tian went to other warehouses and found that most of them had their doors open.
However, even if there were supplies inside, they would have been consumed long ago. Now only some camping props and traces of a fire are left.
Tang Tian quickly returned to the raw stone warehouse, locked the door again with her gold-attribute ability, and then lay down in her sleeping bag and closed her eyes.
…
A dreamless night.
Tang Tian got up on time and stretched. Once the conditions were right, spending the night was not as dangerous and scary as she had imagined.
There was no movement outside the warehouse, and she was very satisfied with this.
After washing up with the well water in the system, Tang Tian prepared breakfast and ate before returning.
I soaked fruit oatmeal in milk, and served it with egg crust toast, instant fruit corn, and jasmine snow bud milk.
Tantan is given dog food and chicken breast protein bars to ensure he is full.
After packing up the tent, Tang Tian grabbed her knife and opened the warehouse door. It was early morning, but the sun was already shining brightly.
The number of people who fell down in my memory was smaller, but those who remained here had all become corpses, their skin was red.
Tang Tian looked around vigilantly, quietly left the warehouse area, found a corner, took out the vehicle, got in and left.
The journey was much smoother, and occasionally I could see a few cars passing by, both official vehicles and private cars.
But if there are no further threats, they will ignore it and focus on their own affairs.
Tang Tian took out a thermometer and measured the outdoor daytime temperature, which was already below 50 degrees.
Before the end of the world, people were still accustomed to temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius. I believe that the extreme heat will end in a while.
As for what will happen in the future, we will have to wait until that day comes to see.
After returning to Area S, Tang Tian went all the way to the trading market.
The car had a license plate, and Liang Xiaoliang's men recognized it. In addition, the commercial street was wide enough for traffic, so they let it pass.
When Tang Tian arrived at the management office, Liang Xiaoliang heard that she had returned and immediately put aside his airs to greet her. He asked with a smile:
"Miss Tang is back? How's the deal with Mr. Yu going?"
Tang Tian nodded:
"I've checked it out, and the material is pretty good. I've already arranged for it to be loaded. Can you please go find Mr. Yu and settle the bill for me?"
Liang Xiaoliang was shocked after hearing this.
Is there someone behind Tang Tian in Area B?
But without thinking too much, he immediately contacted Yu Hongchuan.
Fortunately, the latter lived in that community, not far away, and arrived in ten minutes.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. He had heard Liang Xiaoliang's instructions beforehand, and he no longer dared to look down on Tang Tian.
And now, it's time to make the deal.
Liang Xiaoliang served as the intermediary to witness this large-scale transaction.
Tang Tian still had the same three things: mostly grains and dried meat, and pickled vegetables. However, since the quantity was large this time, she added two boxes of pre-prepared meals.
Write down the list first, but after reading it, Yu Hongchuan felt a little unhappy.
Forget about the food, I don’t know where this dried meat comes from. Can the pickled vegetables be eaten?
The two bottles of wine Tang Tian had given him earlier were quite good. He had been a wealthy man before the apocalypse, and even then, he hadn't lost his rich habits. He was always thinking about how to improve his living conditions. In fact, in the community, his conditions were definitely among the best.
So even though there was food, which was considered life-saving by the civilians, he only thought about the wine - and the quantity of other supplies was not particularly large.
Tang Tian sneered:
"Do you think I run a winery? Besides, it was so hot before, how could there be so much wine to drink? I also spent a lot of money on the other supplies. It's up to you whether you want them or not. I've already found someone to take the jadeite stones. Even if I take them, you can't do anything!"
Seeing Tang Tian shrugged like a scoundrel, Yu Hongchuan had no choice but to swallow his anger.
His wife and children also died in the natural disaster, and now he is alone. These people are actually enough for him to live for a long time.
Tang Tian didn't want to sign a contract, as it was almost equivalent to a piece of waste paper in the apocalypse. Now that he had encountered someone unreasonable, he would just do it directly. What was the point of talking about the law?
As soon as the transaction was completed, Liang Xiaoliang and Yu Hongchuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
This not only makes the trading market more prestigious in the neighboring community, but also brings advertising to the surrounding area.
Especially Tang Tian, she can be said to be very famous.
But after this transaction, Tang Tian could no longer come to the market to exchange supplies, so she said goodbye to Liang Xiaoliang and went straight home.
The latter was satisfied with the result and even a little too proud of himself.
But soon after he returned, he realized it.
Will Tang Tian just make up a random excuse and never come again?
Let’s not talk about why he wants to collect so many valuable items. After having collected so many jadeite raw stones, how could he still think about the business in this market?
No, no matter what method he used, he had to keep her. Even if he didn't have the supplies, it would be good to have the connections behind her!
Although finding someone at this time is like looking for a needle in a haystack, the moment of decision will come when Tang Tian comes next time!
Liang Xiaoliang's face darkened and he went to make preparations.
…
But Tang Tian didn't know all this. After returning the car, she hurried back to Jiangnan Liyuan.
Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia were naturally very happy to see her come back so soon.
But they had just finished their meal when the latter asked:
"Would you like to take a shower first? Then let's eat. You must have had a hard journey."
"It's okay, Mom, this time we can finally get rich!"
There are still so many raw jade stones in the warehouse, and I must get the stones and spend money as soon as possible.
So she quickly told them the cutting method before going to the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time she came out, Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia had each used their gold-attribute abilities to create circular slices.
Everything was ready, and the mother and her two daughters began to cut the stones without stopping.
Generally speaking, a stone yield rate of 50% or above is considered very good. If the original stone itself is heavy, it will be even better.
But how much you can get in the end depends on your luck.
After working for several days, the Tang family finally opened all the jadeite raw stones.
These jades were originally for the system, so Tang Tian didn't even look at them and spent money on one as soon as he opened it.
Now when you open the interface, you will see a full 2kw+ symbol displayed on the gold coin column.
This is... more than 20 million gold coins!
After the three of them took a deep breath, Tang Tian felt that the burden on her shoulders was instantly lighter.
Is this what it feels like to get rich quickly?
Tang Yi was also very excited:
"Tiantian, how are we going to spend so much money?"
Tang Tian smiled and said:
"Sister, don't worry, let's plan a little bit first."
There was only the last extra-large level left in the system warehouse. Faced with more than 20 million gold coins, it only needed 1.5 million gold coins to upgrade. Tang Tian immediately chose to upgrade.
The area of the super-large warehouse is at least as large as three football fields. If we add Jenga, it should be able to store enough supplies for a lifetime.
Tang Tian is not a hedonist. He had seen hardships in his previous life and had experienced them himself, so his biggest wish in this life is to have enough food and drink every day and die of old age.
As for the first half of her wish, this golden finger has already helped her realize it. She is not greedy and should slowly realize the other half.
Then she unlocked everyone's ability column to 10, which only cost 1.1 million gold coins.
Buy all the remaining recipes. UR-level recipes are very expensive. When Tang Tian first saw them, she even thought it was okay not to buy them, but now that she has money, she decided to collect them all!
After buying the fixed recipes, Tang Tian turned her attention to colorful dishes. She had to admit that colorful dishes helped them a lot during the natural disaster.
She wasn't sure if there would be other new natural disasters after the extreme heat, but she still bought all the remaining color recipes, which were yellow, purple, black, and white.
Even so, there are still less than 10 million gold coins in the gold coin column.
Tang Tian switched to her own food acquisition site again. After harvesting a batch of ingredients, she thought about buying another site.
After a brief discussion, she decided to purchase the [Tobacco Plantation] and [Cotton and Linen Field].
In fact, these two cannot be completely said to be places for obtaining food ingredients, but the materials produced are extremely useful.
Remember that just a cigarette can do someone a favor, a box of tea can make the other person happily give up everything, and a bottle of wine makes some people obsessed with it.
This kind of material, which can be called spiritual food, is an excellent thing no matter when or where.
What is produced in the cotton and linen fields are naturally various materials that can be used to make clothes.
However, Tang Tian also stocked up on a lot of clothes when she was stocking up, and it was not easy to wear them all out. This was also to prepare for the future.
Thinking of what she said to Yu Hongchuan, she really felt that she could open a winery.
But the prerequisite is that she has to have enough brewing equipment!
After spending, there are about 400w gold coins left in the gold coin column.
Tang Tian continued to buy the equipment he had bought before: canning jars, wine barrels, juicers, smokers, fish smokers, dryers, flour grinders, cheese machines, tofu cooking pots, etc.
Of course, she also needs to buy some new equipment.
After making her selection, she purchased an oil machine, vinegar barrels, sauce barrels, a sugar making machine and a grinding mortar.
These devices can be used to make seasonings at first glance.
The food distributed to the survivors now is generally tasteless. If you don't taste it for a long time, you will look listless and have no strength.
These pieces of equipment can be used to make basic oil, sugar, sauce and vinegar, and the grinding mortar can also be used to make other powdered seasonings.
Unfortunately, there is only one seasoning that cannot be made for the time being, and that is salt.
Fortunately, Tang Tian had stockpiled salt, so it would not go bad if stored in the warehouse.
If they run out of salt one day in the future, they can still use the system to make food to eat, so it won’t be a big problem.
After buying more sophisticated and expensive equipment, Tang Tian actually spent all the 20 million gold coins.
As the old saying goes, the feeling of getting rich quickly is so fleeting!
If only there were another jadeite rough stone merchant like Yu Hongchuan...
But think about it, this is already considered Tang Tian's good luck.
After all, when a natural disaster strikes, how could such a merchant treat those raw stones as treasures? They are not edible and heavy, so they don't feel bad about throwing them away.
Thinking of this, Tang Tian could only make another batch of supernatural delicacies, listen obediently to what the system said, and take them to the gourmet store to sell.
…
After purchasing so many new gadgets in one go, Wei Mingxia began to get restless.
She enjoyed studying the equipment from the beginning, which started the subsequent transaction flow.
Seeing that she had bought new equipment, she immediately started researching it.
Soon, she was using vinegar barrels to make vinegar, sauce barrels to make soy sauce and various flavored sauces, and sugar making machines to make sugars of different colors.
The oil production machine can produce both vegetable oil and animal oil, especially lard.
After Wei Mingxia made a can of lard that turned snow-white after solidification, she used it to make three bowls of lard rice that day.
The seasoning is simple soy sauce, sprinkled with chopped green onions and sesame seeds as garnish, and there are even two poached eggs on top.
Mix everything together, and the brown rice grains will be distinct and translucent, with a fragrant aroma. If you add some lard, this bowl of rice will make you scream while eating.
But for people in the last days, even a bowl of rice with lard can make them shed tears of gratitude and bow down in worship, something that ordinary people cannot even eat.
It seemed that the mortar could produce more things, so Wei Mingxia continued to research.
Tang Tian had just finished trading those supplies, and she probably wouldn't be able to show up for a month or two.
When she is not in a hurry to go to the market, she continues to work out at home to build muscle, practice weapons, and so on.
The business of the central villa was not very good. Tang Tian understood this, so she let the girls who still wanted to learn fighting skills practice on their own, helping each other in pairs, and she would occasionally help watch over them and give them guidance.
However, after some girls had used up their stockpiles, they actually approached the Tang family, hoping to exchange for more supplies.
But Tang Tian didn't want anything except valuables. Later, she ignored the girls who became angry and ignored anyone who came to her.
Luo Qi and the others were naturally in the same situation, but they were different. Seeing the temperature dropping, they prepared to walk out of Jiangnan Liyuan and go outside to see if they could find any supplies.
So the central villa was completely divided into two factions:
One group is Luo Qi and others who always choose to save themselves, and the other group is Yu Wei and others who have become accustomed to getting supplies easily.
Of course, Tang Tian values Luo Qi and the others more. It just so happens that Li Feiyang also wants to go out, so they can form a team together.
More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. The outdoor temperature has dropped to around 45 degrees, and it is even below 40 degrees at night.
As the temperature dropped, electricity was gradually restored and the period of limited power supply was increased by two times compared to the past days.
It can be said that the previous dire situation has finally eased, and various communities and shelters have ushered in a new period of harmony.
After Wei Mingxia harvested the spices in the system, she found that she could use a mortar to grind them into powdered seasonings. Compared with the previous grinder, there are still some differences.
At present, the things Tang Tian makes most often using the grinder are chili powder and matcha powder, one for eating and the other for drinking.
At this time, she was holding a cup of iced matcha latte and drinking it slowly while sitting on the sofa.
But before she finished drinking, she suddenly noticed someone passing by outside the house.
She deliberately chose Villa No. 30, which is located in the corner, so that strangers can stay away. Even people from the central villa have to walk a few more steps to get here.
Moreover, ever since they fell out with Yu Wei and the others, they stopped bothering them. After Luo Qi and the others found their targets, they stopped bothering them.
Tang Tian frowned slightly, and her heart sank when she thought of the news she had heard from Gu Bin before.
Could it be that the organized refugees are finally going to move in?
Before she could finish her thought, the intercom vibrated several times and she received a message from Li Feiyang:
"Sister Tian, there are quite a few more people outside, and there are also official personnel who are supervising them to stay in other villas. However, it seems that there are at least five or six people staying in one villa. If Jiangnan Liyuan is full, I'm afraid the total number of people will be quite large."
Most of these survivors were found by the authorities from all directions and then gathered together, unless they had settled down in unofficial shelters. Judging from the current situation, there may be quite a few who are willing to obey the assignment.
It’s just unclear what will happen after these refugees are completely settled...
