The leaders didn't leave empty-handed; after hearing about the permanent drive arm, they invited Professor Jin to mentor his apprentices.
Researcher Tang was invited by the property management to teach planting techniques, leaving Zuo Ling alone at home.
Fearing that staying home too much would arouse suspicion, Zuo Ling set up a stall at the small market once a week.
She sells hydroponic vegetables and mushrooms, along with some milk and drinks, as well as snacks she doesn't like, for two hours each time.
Leave immediately when it's time; don't linger.
The original large market was occupied by resettlement housing, and people spontaneously formed several small markets in the prominent locations. Zuo Ling went to the one closest to Building 3.
Hydroponic vegetables and mushrooms are very popular; they always sell out as soon as I visit.
The supplies they brought back were a mixed bag: rice, flour, noodles, instant noodles, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, firewood...
This solves the problem of not lacking supplies even when staying home for extended periods.
Occasionally, some people question the origin of Zuo Ling's supplies.
The hydroponic vegetables and mushrooms are homegrown, and the milk and beverages were sold before, leading some to speculate that Zuo Ling was in the beverage business.
Snacks... It's not surprising that homeowners in the Doomsday Fortress type of apartment keep some snacks at home.
Without Zuo Ling having to say anything, someone else explained it all for her.
Although she was a single woman, she lived a carefree and comfortable life.
Under Researcher Tang's guidance, many people in the community have mastered the techniques of cultivating mushrooms and growing hydroponic vegetables, but they are struggling with problems such as lack of space and difficulty in controlling the temperature.
Only a few places that met all the requirements were able to successfully cultivate mushrooms and hydroponic vegetables.
Many people inquired about hydroponic vegetable seeds with Zuo Ling, and Zuo Ling would exchange them with the corresponding materials provided by the other party.
Before the replacement, they will ask if there is supplemental lighting, if the temperature can meet the requirements, and if there is adequate ventilation, etc.
If it doesn't meet the requirements, Zuo Ling won't change it, so as not to waste the seeds.
Finally, Zuo Ling discovered a very sad reality.
The rich will always be rich, and the poor, no matter how hard they struggle, will always remain poor.
For example, people living in resettlement housing come to ask about hydroponic seeds.
Each family has a 15-square-meter single room, crammed with several people. How can they possibly grow hydroponic vegetables and cultivate mushrooms?
If circumstances don't allow for it, I have to settle for working for the property management company, earning just 2 contribution points a day to barely make ends meet.
The residents of the community easily solved the problems of supplemental lighting, temperature, and ventilation.
Besides what they eat themselves, they can also use some of it to exchange for the supplies they need, creating a virtuous cycle where the wealthy accumulate more and more resources.
The poor can barely manage to eat three meals a day, or even two, one, or even two meals a day, and sometimes they can't even get enough to eat.
This feeling is exactly the same as the predicament I experienced when I was living with Zheng Ming.
Zuo Ling was very fortunate to awaken her spatial ability, and then a series of unexpected encounters followed.
Otherwise, for a single woman living in the apocalypse, death would be the best outcome; what's more terrifying than death is a life worse than death.
