Chapter 7 Stockpiling
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Tang Yi sighed and turned the screen towards her, which showed the website where they made videos together.
Tang Tian hasn't done a live broadcast for a long time since she took leave, but most viewers know that the two are sisters, so many fans left messages in Tang Yi's comment area asking questions.
But generally speaking, the comment sections of both of them were quite harmonious. However, this time, Tang Tian discovered that the comment section had a lot of negative and bad reviews, as well as various rumors and trend-following comments. They were all newly registered small accounts, and they were obviously water armies.
Tang Tian understood immediately and sneered:
"It seems that someone is really unwilling to let it go. When they can't see you getting well, they do such a dirty thing!"
It goes without saying that the person who could do such a thing must be Jiang Yao, who had just become their enemy.
Almost all the money for buying the house was paid by Tang Yi, and Jiang Yao was arrogant and thought he could definitely hold on to the latter, so he never cared about the problem with the house title.
So this is Tang Yi's own house, and the latter had also rented a house before. They were originally waiting for the new house to be renovated, but they broke up at this juncture. The resentment will probably increase to another level.
In a society ruled by law, he could only secretly use such despicable tactics to express his anger and attempt to discredit the two sisters who are internet anchors.
But the end of the world is coming, who will care about the so-called truth then?
Tang Tian no longer paid attention to it, thinking it was just a desperate dog barking, and just said a few words of comfort.
Tang Yi was well aware of all these twists and turns, and she had completely given up on Jiang Yao. She nodded, closed her notebook, and got back to work with Tang Tian.
At this time, she saw that there was no compound bow in Tang Tian's shopping cart. After learning about her concerns, she thought for a moment and then quietly said:
"I know a blogger who can convert a bow into a crossbow. Crossbow arrows are easier to use than bows and arrows. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Tang Tian's eyes lit up.
Bows and arrows can be bought online, but crossbows are basically unavailable. Converting a bow into a crossbow is actually illegal, and they themselves don’t know how to do it, so she has been struggling with whether to buy one.
I didn't expect that my sister also had connections, so I quickly asked her to make contact.
This dangerous modification must cost a lot of money, but luckily I still have money at home.
Tang Tian directly gave each person a compound bow, and then gave it to the blogger to modify it. He paid extra money to expedite the process and purchased a batch of arrows. Finally, he went to pick up the goods in person, and finally got the goods into the house smoothly.
…
The hot weather was suitable for airing out the house, and they also had several air purifiers. With less than half a month left, the two of them gave up their rental and moved into a new house.
The two sisters got on the elevator, but just as the door was about to close, they heard someone outside shouting:
"Please wait a moment!"
Tang Tian quickly pressed the button, and the elevator door opened again, revealing a middle-aged woman with a flushed face and panting, carrying bags full of things.
She looked about the same age as Shen Mingxia. When the elevator door opened again, she smiled and thanked the two of them, saying she wanted to go to the 17th floor.
Tang Tian and Tang Yi remained calm, but were surprised in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, I met my neighbor next door by chance.
The middle-aged woman was also surprised when she saw the number that was already lit, but she politely did not ask any more questions.
Since we are neighbors on the same floor, we will have time to get to know each other in the future.
The three of them walked in silence all the way to the 17th floor. The middle-aged woman thanked him again and got out of the elevator to go home.
Tang Tian waited for her to go in first, and then opened the door and went in with Tang Yi.
Tan Tan, who stayed at home, ran over happily and rubbed my ankles. I don’t know if it has the bloodline of a large guard dog, but after half a month, it grew a lot bigger.
"Sister, have you seen that aunt before?"
Tang Tian was afraid that the new neighbor at home would be the kind of auntie who would ask questions all the time, which might cause more trouble after the end of the world.
"I haven't seen her many times. She looks about the same age as my mom. She probably hasn't retired yet and is still working."
Tang Tian quickly put it out of his mind, but when he remembered the bag full of things, he slapped his head suddenly and said with sudden realization:
"Look at my brain, isn't it almost Chinese New Year?"
I was busy stocking up, and the temperature in Spring City during this month is always very cold and humid, with temperatures in the single digits.
However, the temperature in the past few months has remained around 30 degrees, causing many people to be confused about time.
Tang Yi sighed:
"This might be the last normal New Year before the apocalypse... Then, let's bring Mom over so we can have a New Year's Eve dinner together, okay?"
However, before he could finish his words, the door was opened - Tang Yi had made three keys in advance and also gave one to Wei Mingxia.
"Mom, why are you here now?"
It turned out that Wei Mingxia had not used her annual leave this year, which was a full 15 days. She could use it before the New Year and come back early.
At this point, the mother and her two daughters finally reunited.
…
Tang Tian sold most of the remaining gold and converted it all into cash.
Wei Mingxia also wanted to have one last good New Year before the end of the world, so she and Tang Yi went to prepare New Year's goods.
At the same time, Tang Tian officially opened the system and let them participate.
Although she didn't use the system much during this period, she would occasionally go online to collect ingredients.
The three of them tried to use the rice collected from the workshop and each made a portion of rice.
Switching the screen again, it turns out that the snack shop the system was talking about was a place similar to a glass display window.
The three servings of rice were neatly placed in the window, waiting to be sold.
However, since Tang Tian had just started operating the system, all the money he spent on krypton gold last time was used to upgrade the warehouse, so the gold coin column was empty at this time.
Tang Tian officially activated the system. The system immediately responded:
"Okay, host. The sign-in function has been enabled. The first seven days are for newbie benefits, with the following rewards. After seven days, it's normal sign-in. You'll receive a stamp for each day you sign in. If you get enough stamps, you can redeem them for special ingredients and recipes."
The three of them looked down and saw that in the seven days of sign-in, the first, fourth and sixth days were gold coins in increasing quantities, the second day was a piece of equipment, the third day was an ingredient, and the last day seemed to be a recipe.
Since it is a benefit for newbies, it is estimated that they will be good things.
Tang Tian directly received the first day's sign-in reward of 500 gold coins.
This system is not complicated, even the buttons and screens are simple. Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia figured it out quickly.
The former proposed:
"Tiantian, I think we need to buy more and unlock more recipes. When we run out of ingredients in reality, we can make food directly from the system."
A total of 500 gold coins were enough to buy one more copy of [N-level recipe, Part 2], so Tang Tian bought it immediately.
It’s still that abstract description, but fortunately, the delicacies in the N-level recipes can be identified at a glance.
However, Tang Tian thought about it and asked first:
"System, are there any rules for obtaining this ingredient?"
"Yes, host. The places where these ingredients are obtained actually depend on the season. But it doesn't mean that out-of-season ingredients are unavailable, but seasonal ingredients are easier to obtain."
After hearing this, Tang Tian checked the warehouse and found that many spring seasonal vegetables had indeed been received, such as shepherd's purse, leeks, spinach, spring bamboo shoots, lettuce, etc.
She tried to take out 1 leek from the system, but she didn't expect that a whole bunch of vegetables would appear out of thin air on the floor.
Wei Mingxia weighed them and found to her disbelief that the vegetables weighed ten kilograms!
"Host, if you are sure you will use the harvested ingredients in reality, you cannot use them in the system anymore. Please be careful."
There is no shortage of food at home now. After thinking about it, Tang Tian decided to temporarily put these dishes into the system.
She changed the scene again and found that the rice that had been placed in the gourmet store had been sold out, and the window had returned to its empty appearance again.
But a serving of rice only costs 1 gold coin, so there are 3 more gold coins in the gold coin column.
The mother, daughter and her two daughters were speechless for a while.
Tang Tian directly opened the first and second N-level recipes.
[Made from white basic flour, it is one of the most important staple foods in China.] This is noodles.
[White basic flour is made into flakes and then mixed with fillings. It is a staple food widely eaten in northern China.]
There is also a southern version, which Tang Tian knew at a glance was dumplings and wontons.
But unlike making rice and noodles, after using the flour obtained from the workshop, she also added an extra portion of pork, and then clicked to make it, and it was unlocked.
The system then spoke again:
"Congratulations to the host for unlocking dumplings and wontons! After unlocking this delicacy, the host can mix and match the fillings of their choice!"
"The food we're making now is still basic. Once we get the appropriate equipment, we can refine it."
The ranch harvested the most meat, especially pork. Tang Tian used the green onions and shepherd's purse from the vegetable garden to make pork and green onion dumplings and shepherd's purse and pork wontons.
After making 5 servings each and sending them to the gourmet store and receiving a new wave of ingredients, Tang Tian first shut down the system.
…
Although the temperature outside has not dropped yet, as the New Year approaches, the streets and shopping malls are still decorated with various red decorations.
After much hard work, the mother, daughter and their two children finally stored all the supplies in the warehouse into the system and returned the rented warehouse. The stockpiling finally came to an end.
Get everything done before the New Year so that you can stay at home after the New Year and wait quietly for natural disasters to strike.
Tang Tian plans to take Tan Tan to the pet hospital today and see if there are any supplies that can be bought.
Tantan was incredibly excited at the mention of going out. Tang Tian had already started training him these days, and it was quite effective. They were ready to go as soon as they tied up their leash.
But I didn't expect that while I was still in the corridor, the door of the elevator opened and a man and a woman walked out with their hands full of things.
Tang Tian was wearing sunglasses and was stunned when she saw the man in her field of vision.
It’s the plainclothes policeman who caught the thief in the market!
"Wow, this dog is so cute!"
The girl next to her spoke happily, then glanced at Tang Tian and asked:
"Hello, are you our new neighbor?"
Because of her experiences in her previous life, Tang Tian, who used to be very friendly towards strangers, has now become a little taciturn.
In response to the girl's question, she just said "Okay" and went to the elevator with Tantan.
The girl curled her lips when she saw this, seeming a little unhappy.
"Okay, they just moved in and don't know you." The man next to them said, "Let's go. We still have to help Mom decorate the house."
After the inspection, Tang Tian took Tan Tan for a walk and started shopping.
She has already stocked up a lot of pet supplies, and she has shopped at all the street snack shops, fruit and vegetable shops, clothing and shoe stores, and bookstores.
When I passed by a coffee shop, I bought some coffee powder and desserts, which I stored directly in the system in a blind spot where the surveillance camera was not there, so they wouldn't go bad.
With the current temperature, there are still many grocery stores with freezers selling popsicles and ice cream wholesale.
Thinking that she already had a freezer at home, Tang Tian also bought in bulk, and was so happy that the boss even gave her a discount.
As she was shopping, she thought of the new neighbor she had just met.
In the early days of the apocalypse, police officers were often assigned to the front lines. But Tang Tian later remembered encountering former police officers struggling to survive alone with their families, which gave her a glimpse into how dire the world had become.
But as police officers, they are far superior to ordinary people in terms of physique, strength and acuity, and are more likely to survive the apocalypse.
And who knows, you might even get the latest official news in advance.
So, I can make some friends with this neighbor later...
