This store is the official store of Oil City that collects various groceries.
Many survivors have collected some useful supplies outside, or some wild meat, Chinese medicine, and other various things. They can evaluate the value here and then exchange them for corresponding points.
Due to the relatively large demand for this category, store No. 3 has expanded from one store at the beginning to four stores, with an opening area of nearly 20 square meters, covering a large area.
There are different counters divided into different categories.
This store alone has more than 20 employees.
The general person in charge is Sister Lan.
Sister Lan can be regarded as an old person in Oil City. She was one of the first collaborators in Oil City a long time ago, leading Niu Gao and others to cooperate with Oil City for a long time.
Later, Oil City underwent several reforms, and they were gradually promoted to non-staff positions.
Before the end of the world, Sister Lan was the manager of a large supermarket and had rich management experience.
The vision and skill are sufficient.
Food and medicine counter.
Chu Juan and Liu Zhuangshi looked at the counter with bated breath. They saw an old man in front of the counter picking up the wild yams in their basket one by one to inspect them, and even put them to the tip of his nose to smell them.
After it seemed that there was no problem, I weighed it on an electronic scale.
drop--
56 pounds and 5 taels.
Seeing the number on the electronic scale, Chu Juan and others had smiles of surprise on their faces.
This is higher than their estimated weight.
They did not weigh the wild yams they brought back in the evening, but they only roughly estimated that they weighed about 50 kilograms.
"Are these golden cherry blossoms and mountain twist seeds all sold?" the old man asked.
"Yes, yes." Chu Juan nodded quickly and replied.
The old man took a small basket and pulled out all the golden cherry seeds and mountain twist seeds.
Weigh them one by one.
The golden cherry seeds weighed half a catty, and the Shantuanzi weighed 2 catties and 3 taels.
Golden cherry tree and mountain twister tree are both wild fruits and are also used as traditional Chinese medicine.
Among them, the functions of Golden Cherry are to strengthen sperm and reduce urination, strengthen collapse and stop vaginal discharge, astringent intestines and stop diarrhea.
Shantuanzi can activate blood circulation, dredge meridians, astringe and stop bleeding, and regulate liver and spleen meridians. It has a therapeutic effect on rheumatic bone diseases, joint movement difficulties, trauma, bleeding and other diseases.
The old man pressed the calculator slowly, returning to zero, returning to zero, returning to zero.
After pressing it, a number was obtained.
The old man took out the points punching machine and said to them:
"You have a total of 56 kilograms and 5 taels of wild yam. 1 kilogram of wild yam can be exchanged for 0.5 points, and wild yam can be exchanged for: 28.25 points.
There are 2 catties and 3 taels of Shantuanzi in total. 1 catty of Shantuanzi can be exchanged for 0.3 points, which can be exchanged for 0.69 points.
There are 0.5 kilograms of golden cherry seeds in total, and 1 kilogram of golden cherry seeds can be exchanged for 0.3 points, which can be exchanged for 0.15 points.
The three types can be exchanged for a total of 29.09 points."
"If there are no problems, I will record it for you."
Chu Juan did a mental calculation and figured out there was no problem. She nodded with a smile and said:
"Thank you, Teacher Ma, for recording it for us."
Ma Zheng looked at Chu Juan, a smile appeared on his originally selfless face, pointed to a signboard erected next to him and said:
"Next time, you can look for plants and herbs here that can be exchanged for higher points."
Chu Juan looked at a huge sign next to her. On it were densely written the names of various herbal medicines. The top ones were: Blood Drainage, Anomatis, Chonglou...
After seeing these herbs, she smiled bitterly in her heart. Although these kinds of herbs can be exchanged for high points, they are not so easy to find.
But when faced with Mr. Ma Zheng's reminder, she still said gratefully: "Thank you."
Ma Zheng is the father of Hefeng team member Ma Dong. He once worked as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in a small county town all his life. In addition to sitting in the traditional Chinese medicine hall at the trading market, he also came to do some work at the counter here.
Although I am quite old, my health has been much better in the past two years than before.
Ma Zheng asked a staff member next to him to come over and settle the bill with them.
"The Rhythm of Plants team, captain Chu Juan, had a balance of 15.3 points last time, an increase of 29.09 points, and the current total is: 44.39 points."
"This is your points list, please check it."
The female staff member handed the order to Chu Juan.
Chu Juan stretched out her hands and bent her waist to take it.
"thank you."
The minimum staff here are level 4 personnel. They have such a good attitude towards you. If you, a level 5 staff member, are rude, you will make them feel unhappy.
If you offend the person at the counter, they will also try to mess with you.
However, recently the trading market seems to have implemented a suggestion box, and survivors are welcome to report.
I don’t know if it works, and she hasn’t tried it either...
After checking the points list and finding that there was no problem, she smiled and replied: "No problem, thank you."
After finishing speaking, she picked up the basket, led the students out of the way, and walked toward the door.
Wang Beibei held Chu Juan's arm and said excitedly:
"Professor Chu, can we have something delicious tonight?"
"Yes, yes, nearly 45 points. Oh my god, this is the first time we have so many points!" Wang Yong nodded vigorously.
Professor Chu smiled and said nothing, and led everyone straight to the shop selling corn pancakes.
I spent 3 points to buy 12 tortillas.
This corn tortilla is dry and has low water content. Although it costs 0.25 points per piece, it is the most cost-effective food for low-level survivors like them.
Because the water content is low, it is very solid. One is about the size of an adult's palm. Just eating one is enough for one person's meal.
But because it has less water, it tastes very dry, and it is easy to choke if eaten without water.
This kind of tortilla is made from the whole corn, including the corn cob inside, crushed into powder, added with a very small amount of flour, cooking oil, and salt, kneaded and baked.
Before the end of the world, corn cobs were usually thrown away or used to feed pigs.
But in the apocalypse, corn cobs can be eaten. Corn cobs are rich in nutrients, containing 54.5% sugar, 2.2% crude protein, and 0.4% crude fat. They are also very nutritious.
The taste is not very good, but the nutritional value is not low.
In addition, it is made by baking and drying. The moisture content is very low and the shelf life is very long. If it is placed in a sealed jar, it will not be a problem for two months.
It can also be cooked into paste or used as dry food. It is very convenient and is the most popular food in the trading market.
Chu Juan distributed 12 corn pancakes to everyone. There were six of them, two for each person.
This was extremely luxurious. In the most difficult time, they shared two corn pancakes among six people.
But now, there are two tortillas per person.
Not eating any meat made a few people feel a little disappointed, but at least they were finally full today.
"Sigh...Professor Chu, can't we eat a bunch of meat? Anyway, we have enough points. At worst, we can get more wild yams tomorrow..." Liu Zhuangshi ate
Holding the dry corn tortillas, he sighed and said.
Before Chu Juan could answer, another tall young man Liu Yibo said:
"With six people, there are now less than 42 points left. On average, one person has 7 points.
Accommodation costs money, 0.02 points per person per day. If there are two tacos per person per day, the cost per person per day is 0.52 points.
The cost for six people per day is 3.12 points. 42 points won’t last us two weeks.”
After his calculations, everyone's mood suddenly fell from the clouds.
The cost of housing in the trading market is very low, especially since they live in the worst third-grade rooms.
It only costs 0.02 points per day and 0.6 points per month.
As long as you're not a waste of food and waiting to die, you can basically afford a place to live.
But we have to eat. After all, two tortillas a day are still too luxurious.
Two months have passed since the thunderstorm disaster. If luck hadn't happened today, they might only have a dozen or twenty points on hand.
After Liu Zhuangshi heard Liu Yibo's calculation, he felt a little guilty and said to Chu Juan:
"Professor Chu, why don't we just have one tortilla each tonight, save some money."
"From now on, the daily ration for each person is one and a half tortillas a day."
Chu Juan smiled and shook her head and said:
"Everyone has worked hard today. Now that we have a big harvest, we need to have a sense of ritual after the big harvest. Only then will we have the motivation to work harder to find more things. Let's eat."
"In the future we can find more wild yams and even other plants of higher value."
Everyone nodded, their eyes shining with determination.
Professor Chu always has this charm that can stabilize people's hearts and convince them.
No matter how difficult it is, Professor Chu is always so calm and relaxed.
When she searched for a long time but failed to find any usable plants, she would go to a waterless place and sit and watch the clouds rise.
After the group left the bustling business district, they walked straight to the East District living and accommodation area.
The street lights were very bright, and their shadows were stretched very long.
On this road, there are also some pedestrians returning from the industrial area.
Liu Yibo looked at the group of people with some envy. He asked about the income from working on the construction site.
0.5~0.6 points a day, which doesn’t seem like much.
But, everyone eats for free!
When you come to work, you will be given two pieces of tortillas, which can be converted into points, which equals 1 point per person per day.
If all six of them work on the construction site, their daily income will be 6 points.
Not to mention anything else, excluding meals, in just these two months, the six of them were able to accumulate 180 points, instead of the pathetic 40 points they have now.
However, part of the quota for work on the construction site was given to level 4 personnel, and some were also given to level 5 personnel.
Unfortunately, none of them got the job.
.......
Oil City.
The lamp is like day.
This time, everyone did not meet in the conference room, but went to the roof of the fifth floor.
The closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rounder the moon becomes.
Tonight the moon is like a big jade plate.
The bright moonlight shines on the roof of the Central Building.
Li Yu looked at the lights in the trading market. The wall of the trading market in the distance was flashing with purple-blue ultraviolet lights, and searchlights were patrolling back and forth.
With a smile on his lips, he said with a smile: "Mr. Hong, did they change two more guns?"
"Yes, all 50 points were spent in one night, and I went out to buy two more guns today."
Lao Luo couldn't control the smile on his lips and continued:
"I learned my lesson this time and bought dozens of corn tortillas directly. But I feel like you know the taste after eating the marrow. They will definitely have to go to Tingfeng Tower again in the future."
Cannon curled his lips and thought to himself: Tingfeng Tower is the most boring thing.
Li Yu nodded and said: "Well, let people keep a close eye on them and ask them to sell all the guns and valuable things step by step. At the appropriate time, they can contact one or two people later."
"clear."
Li Yu asked again: "Have all the grains transported by Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu been inspected?"
Lao Luo quickly replied:
"We are still checking and verifying it. According to the list records they brought,
The grain transported this time includes: 500 tons, bullets: 200,000 rounds, artillery shells: 1,000 rounds..."
Li Yu was amazed when he heard the number of grains shipped.
Oh shit!
Oil City and the trading bazaar are such a waste of food.
500 tons! It is only enough to support the oil city for three to four months.
The consumption is really amazing!
Fortunately, the Da Zhangshu family has a big business now, and the accumulation in the early years was deep enough, otherwise it would really not be able to support so many people.
In addition, the agricultural planting in the inner city, first, second, third and fourth outer city of Da Zhangshu Base has been stabilized, and the current annual output can reach 1,350 tons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Now that the trading market has expanded, it is still somewhat difficult to maintain the normal operation of the trading market.
However, they have 3,500 tons of grain reserves, which is enough to support three places for a year even if there is no grain output.
In addition, in three months, the more than 10,000 acres of greenhouses at the Da Zhangshu base headquarters will be mature. By that time, the annual grain output of the Da Zhangshu base will not be 1,350 tons, but more than 10,000 tons.
Increase food production tenfold.
In addition, there is the Northern Territory. It takes four months for greenhouses in the Northern Territory to usher in the full harvest season.
By that time, the big camphor tree base and the northern border will have a full harvest.
The food problem will completely solve the current dilemma.
Li Yu was thinking about these things in his brain while listening to Lao Luo's report on the situation of Xiao Hu's food transportation this time.
After Lao Luo finished speaking, Li Yu stretched his arms and said:
"I probably know. I will return to the Da Zhangshu base tomorrow. The matters here will mainly be left to you and the minister."
"Here you have some snacks. Ju Tianrui happens to be training recruits here right now. If you have any questions, you can ask him for his opinion."
"OK."
Lao Luo nodded and asked curiously:
"Is the city owner in such a hurry to return to the headquarters? Aren't you going to stay in Oil City for a while? Did something happen at the headquarters?"
Li Yu shook his head, looked at the bright white moon, and said lightly:
"No, the sentinel network construction project around the headquarters base is now mostly completed. I'll go back and take a look. If there are any problems, I can adjust them in time."
"So that's it." Lao Luo suddenly realized that he had also heard of this project.
In fact, the current Petroleum City has been building outposts around it, but it is not as broad as the Da Zhangshu Base. It only covers the two surrounding counties, so it was completed very early.
