Chapter 21 Trading Area
When the female clerk heard that Bai Zhi made her own cakes, her eyes were full of greed. She
enthusiastically introduced the trading area, and it seemed that she hoped that Bai Zhi would be encouraged by her to set up a food stall.
Bai Zhi: "Then I'll go and have a look when I'm free."
Bai Zhi was a little confused by her enthusiasm.
She felt that although her cooking skills were good, they were not so good that she would want to eat just one person passing by, right?
Female clerk: "Okay! My name is Wu Nana, and I work in the Finance Department. If you don't know anything about the trading area, you can come and ask me. What's your name?"
Wu Nana felt that for the sake of her future enjoyment, she had to get along well with this little girl.
"Thank you, my name is Bai Zhi."
Although Bai Zhi was not sure whether she should set up a stall, she didn't want to refuse her kindness.
Wu Nana: "Baizhi, if you set up a snack stand, you must tell me, I will go to support you!"
Baizhi: "Okay. I will tell you when the time comes."
Wu Nana: "Okay, then I'll go to work first~ Bye!"
Baizhi: "Bye!"
Wu Nana hurried upstairs happily.
The soldier standing guard at the door was also happy.
Thank you Comrade Wu Nana for saying what he wanted to say.
If this little girl named Baizhi sets up a snack stand in the future, he will have to try it.
It smells much better than the big pot of rice in the army cafeteria.
Baizhi sat for a few minutes after breakfast, and Li Chengyi came out.
Li Chengyi: "Let's go, I'm done."
Li Chengyi walked to Baizhi, took her backpack and carried it in his hand, and with his other hand led Baizhi out of the door of the swimming pool.
Bai Zhi: "Why so fast? What is the job of a water-based esper like?"
Bai Zhi looked up at him curiously.
Li Chengyi: "It's just to put water in a separate room, with cups, basins, buckets, and water tanks. There is no time limit, and points are calculated based on the amount of water used."
Bai Zhi heard Li Chengyi's relaxed tone and knew that he should be in a good mood.
Bai Zhi: "It seems that the points are quite considerable?"
Li Chengyi: "Well, 500ml is 3 points. As long as the total amount of water stored in a month exceeds 60 liters, an additional 5 points will be added per day, which is 150 points."
Bai Zhi: "Well, in this way, water-based psychics will choose to sell water to the official for these 150 points instead of trading on their own."
Bai Zhi thinks that if she were a water-based psychic, she would first sell 60 liters to the official, get these 150 points, and then go to the trading area to exchange for supplies privately.
Li Chengyi: "Yes, this also avoids a lot of risks in private transactions."
Li Chengyi knows that water-based psychics are not good at self-protection.
Bai Zhi: "By the way, when I was eating potato cakes just now, someone suggested that I set up a snack stand in the trading area to sell food. Although we don't have to do business, I want to go to the trading area to take a look, is that okay?"
Bai Zhi pinched Li Chengyi's fingers and said in an unconsciously coquettish tone.
After Li Chengyi got familiar with Bai Zhi and him, he couldn't help but enjoy the little girl's coquettishness and dependence revealed in her movements, tone, and attitude.
In his initial impression of Bai Zhi, she was more strong and hardworking.
Now her unconscious coquettishness towards him shows that she trusts him more and more, which makes him feel satisfied and happy.
Li Chengyi: "Okay. Let's go now."
Li Chengyi handed Bai Zhi a simple map, "This is what the administrator of the water supply department drew for me. It shows the current distribution of facilities in the safe zone."
Bai Zhi heard him say this and knew that Li Chengyi must have stored a lot of water for the official, so the administrator was so polite.
She herself is not a water-related esper, so she doesn't know what level of water-related esper Li Chengyi is.
The water they use for washing, drinking, and cooking every day adds up to a lot, and Li Chengyi takes it very lightly.
But in the apocalyptic novels, the water-related esper of the protagonist's team is responsible for the water consumption of the entire team.
In comparison, Li Chengyi only has to be responsible for the two of them, which doesn't seem to be that impressive.
It seems that the official administrators are very polite to the precious water-related esper.
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment, and Bai Zhi took the map and looked at it carefully.
The map is centered on the swimming pool where the Military and Political Office is located.
To the north is the gymnasium and parking lot where the military is stationed.
To the east is the ordinary people's stationing area, the park vegetation area and the lake.
To the west is the square and shopping center where the superpowers are stationed.
To the south is the temporary hospital and the trading area. Qingyi Garden, where Bai Zhi and her friends live, is also in the southwest.
Bai Zhi also noticed that among the streets drawn in the east, there is a street with "Red Light District" written on it.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could this be the place where HS transactions are carried out?
After the end of the world, these things are so blatant?
Perhaps the surprise on her face was too obvious. Li Chengyi glanced at the place where her eyes were and said lightly, "The streets in the east are a mixed bag. Don't go there alone. It's not safe."
Bai Zhi nodded quietly.
She didn't know what to say.
If she hadn't met Li Chengyi, perhaps she would have been forced to do many things against her will.
Human nature is like this in the end times. In the situation where tomorrow may not come, malice, greed, desire, cowardice, cowardice, all kinds of emotions and psychology are infinitely magnified and revealed.
Perhaps compared to morality, dignity, and freedom, survival and enjoyment at the moment are the most important choices for people in reality.
Li Chengyi took Bai Zhi and followed the map and soon found the trading area.
In the small square next to the temporary hospital, there were four rows of stalls like a market.
Some sold clothes, some sold weapons like knives and sticks, some sold daily necessities, and some sold gold, silver, and jewelry.
There were only two stalls selling food, one selling bacon and sausage, and the other selling rice balls.
Li Chengyi replaced a rice ball with water and handed it to Baizhi.
Baizhi divided the rice ball into two halves, with a few diced ham in the middle, and handed half back to Li Chengyi.
Baizhi: "How does it taste?"
Li Chengyi took it, took a bite, and frowned, "The rice is too hard and has no taste."
Baizhi took a bite of the place where the diced ham was, well... raw rice, the rice has no taste, and the diced ham is raw.
If the competitors are all at this level, Baizhi thinks her potato pancake business is definitely not bad.
Li Chengyi: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it. Let's go ask how the stall is managed."
Li Chengyi took the rice ball from Baizhi's hand and took her to the first row of the trading area, where a strong young man sitting on a small wooden stool, holding a small notebook and wearing a red armband walked.
Li Chengyi: "Hello, if we want to set up a stall, what procedures do we need to go through?"
