Chapter 13 Making Dumplings

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After resting for a while, Zhang Tuohai turned on the regional channel to see how everyone was doing.

When he turned on the regional channel, he was flooded with a series of red death messages.

Zhang Tuohai counted about 200 people, and most of them died from quicksand or poisoning.

Much less than yesterday.

I don’t know if those who survived have become shrewd, or if they were frightened by the mortality rate, fewer people dared to go out and explore.

After a while, someone started showing off their gains on the chat channel.

"Hahaha, it is indeed a challenge for the brave. The rewards are generous. I got a blue resource box and opened a hot dog with sausages in it."

"Hot dogs are nothing. I opened two sandwiches with bacon and lettuce slices inside. Are you envious?"

"I'm not as lucky as you. I can get staple food. I just got four apples. Is there anyone you can exchange with me?"

A few people who got the food began to show off on the regional channel, making those who stayed behind greedy.

Seeing more and more people showing off their harvests on the regional channel, Zhang Tuohai figured that all the people who went out to participate in the Brave Challenge had come back. Now was the time when everyone had the most abundant supplies, and it was a good opportunity to harvest.
"Which of you has flour? I'll exchange it for meat, cooking oil and so on." Zhang Tuohai said.

"It's the big guy who sells pork this morning!"

As soon as Zhang Tuohai spoke, he was immediately recognized.

"Boss, why are you buying flour?" someone asked.

"It's nothing. I made some meat, leeks and eggs. I see that the ingredients are quite complete. I'm going to make meat and three fresh dumplings to eat. If any of you want to eat, just sign up and exchange resources for it."

Zhang Tuohai said with a smile.

Making dumplings?

The person who was eating a hot dog suddenly felt that the hot dog in his hand was no longer fragrant.

Damn it, I finally got a hot dog. I thought it was pretty good, but in the end, the boss has already started to think about eating dumplings?

Is there such a big difference between people?

"Boss, I ordered a plate, can I exchange it for apples? I'll give you two apples, what do you think?"

Someone on the regional channel immediately asked tentatively.

"Boss, I don't have supplies, can I use gasoline?"

"Boss, I have collected twenty glass fragments. Can I exchange them?"

"Don't make a fuss first. Let's get the flour first. Otherwise, everyone will have to eat stir-fried three delicacies."

Zhang Tuohai comforted everyone.

"I have 50 pounds of flour, but you have to exchange it for fifty pounds of braised pork!" At this time, a message suddenly popped up on the channel.

"?"

"Isn't your asking price too outrageous?" Zhang Tuohai said with a frown.

Fifty pounds of flour and fifty pounds of braised pork are not the same value at all.

Whether fifty pounds of flour is made into noodles or steamed into a full head, the energy and satiety it brings cannot be compared with fifty pounds of meat.

What's more, most people here don't know how to steam steamed buns or roll out noodles, so the flour in their hands can only be wasted.

Wouldn't it be better to trade it for meat?

"So what? Anyway, you are in urgent need of flour now, and I am not in a hurry anyway. If you want it, I will exchange it for fifty pounds of braised pork. If you want to exchange it, hurry up. The price will not be the same tomorrow," the man replied.

.

"And don't forget, in this kind of weather, meat can't be stored for long. I have plenty of time to wait. Can you afford to wait?" The man was obviously confident.

Seeing the man's reply, Zhang Tuohai sneered. The man had calculated that the meat could not be stored for a long time, so he dared to ask for such a price.

However, Zhang Tuohai obviously will not let him control it.

Even if he doesn't eat the dumplings today, he can't let the other party succeed.

Otherwise, everyone will think that he is weak and can be bullied, and it will be difficult to purchase materials cheaply in the future.

As for the fact that the meat cannot be preserved, it doesn’t matter. At most, it is used for refining oil, and the dried meat can still be stored for a longer period of time.

In desperation, Zhang Tuohai stopped selling supplies. When the time comes, let’s see who suffers the loss.

Just when Zhang Tuohai was about to refine meat into oil, Su Mu sent him a private message.

"I have flour here, but it's only 20 kilograms. Do you want it?" Su Mu asked.

"Of course, what are you going to change? Meat, water, canned food, and grilled naan are all available. You can also eat dumplings if you want, but you have to wait for a while." Zhang Tuohai said.

"We don't want to change fixed things, we want to make an agreement." Su Mu said.

"What agreement."

"There are six days from now until the day of the disaster. I can give these 20 kilograms of flour to you now, but you have to be responsible for our food for the next six days. Don't worry, our sisters don't eat much.

About three taels per meal is enough." Su Mu said with some anxiety.

After seeing Su Mu's information, Zhang Tuohai made some calculations in his mind.

If calculated based on the amount of 3 liang of noodles each meal for their sisters, then the two of them would be 6 liang of noodles, and three meals a day would be 1.8 kilograms.

Including the disaster day, the total of six days is 10.8 pounds.

I made a net profit of nearly 10 kilograms of noodles.

Moreover, this does not include adding water.

Even if you add some vegetables, shredded pork, etc., you can still make money.

Moreover, if you agree to this deal, you can also tie up this major blueprint producer, and you can receive more blueprints, which is two birds with one stone.

This is a good deal.

"Yes, three meals a day are guaranteed to be hot. However, the meals may not be on time. After all, we still have to find supplies." Zhang Tuohai said.

"Then it's settled. I've sent the flour and you can take it."

[Su Mu gives you 20 kilograms of flour as a gift]

"Sister, you just gave him the flour? Do you trust him so much? What if he cheats on us?" Su Qi on the side was a little worried.

"There is nothing we can do about it." Su Mu sighed, "We have no pots, no stoves, no fire starters, not enough water and firewood. The most important thing is that we don't know how to roll noodles or steam steamed buns. Flour is in the

It is a waste in our hands. If we give it to him, we can at least guarantee that we will have enough to eat for the next six days."

"But, what if he lies to you?" Su Qi asked.

"Probably not." Su Mu shook her head, "Didn't he fulfill his promise when dealing with braised pork last time? And he also gave you an extra pig's ear. Have you forgotten the taste?"

Hearing Su Mu's words, Su Qi couldn't help but lick her lips.

The smell of pig ears is so fragrant.

She never knew that pig ears could be so delicious.

"Of course, these are secondary. The important thing is that he still needs to do business on the platform. If he defaults on our account, he loses credibility and the business on the platform will be gone. He will not do it because of small things.

It's a big loss." Su Mu continued to explain.

"I hope so." After hearing Su Mu's explanation, Su Qi could only nod in agreement.
