Chapter 1546 Don’t think it’s expensive if you can’t afford it
"The price is set by the city lord." Li Zhengping glanced at Gong Wan and replied calmly.
Hearing this, Gong Wan's expression froze. "Ah..."
"Ahem...The price set by the city lord is...reasonable, very reasonable."
Li Zhengping couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw his expression, "I've brought the mooncakes and I'm moving them to the kitchen now."
Gong Wan nodded and couldn't help but calculate, 5 points for a moon cake, but only 0.25 points for a corn tortilla, which means that one moon cake can equal twenty corn tortillas.
The price is a bit high, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so some survivors with more points will probably buy it.
After all, if you want to buy mooncakes these days, this is the only one, no other.
"How many mooncakes are there?" Gong Wan asked worriedly.
He was worried that if he produced too many mooncakes, he would be responsible for not being able to sell them.
"About 3,500." Li Zhengping replied.
"call--"
Gong Wan breathed a sigh of relief. There were 60,000 Level 4 and Level 5 personnel in this trading market. There were only 3,500 of them here. It was not difficult to sell them.
"No, I have to go see that moon cake."
Gong Wan quickly ran to the kitchen, cut open the box containing the mooncakes with a kitchen knife, and took out a mooncake from inside.
This piece of mooncake weighs about three ounces, which is quite heavy.
The skin is golden brown, crispy and smells a little sweet.
"Can I open it and see the filling inside?" Gong Wan looked at Li Zhengping behind him.
Added: "I have to see the fillings inside so that I can promote it to the customers outside..."
It was just a piece of moon cake. Li Zhengping nodded and said, "Goodbye."
After Gong Wan heard Li Zhengping's words, he couldn't wait to break open the moon cake.
The moment it is opened, the filling inside comes into view.
Gong Wan looked at the fillings inside carefully. There were raisins, melon seeds, bean paste... He put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and there was a strong smell of eggs.
"There are eggs in here?" Gong Wan raised his head and looked at Li Zhengping in disbelief.
At times like this, an egg is too precious.
Li Zhengping seemed to remember something and hurriedly returned to the car and took out a list.
"Here, I almost forgot about this. This is the mooncake list. You sign it. It also lists the fillings added to these mooncakes."
Gong Wan nodded, and then counted the mooncakes himself.
He found that the number of mooncakes was one less than what was written on the list, which was the mooncake he just broke.
So I added a supplementary explanation below and signed my name.
Li Zhengping took his signed name and turned to leave.
The mooncakes are sold by the restaurant and should be sold out quickly.
After he left, the employees in the kitchen all looked at the mooncakes in the box.
These employees in self-operated hotels are all Level 3 non-staff personnel.
The positions in the hotel are different from other positions, they are very important and involve food safety issues.
In particular, this Oil City restaurant sells tacos for ordinary survivors, and most survivors can only afford this.
Once the staff inside is poisoned, it will cause an extremely serious safety accident.
Therefore, the staff of this self-operated hotel are all Level 3 non-staff personnel with family members.
Gong Wan saw their eyes looking at the mooncakes, and he reminded: "Your share of mooncakes has been placed on the bed in your dormitory. Don't move these mooncakes here, do you hear me?"
Meng De, who was still holding a spoon in his hand, laughed when he heard this and said:
"Oh, Brother Gong, what you said, we will definitely not touch it randomly. Just put your heart in your stomach. When will you start selling?"
Gong Wan thought for a while and said, "Let's start selling now, right now at window 4."
"Also, Lao Meng, please write an introduction on the small blackboard at the door..."
"Okay, but Brother Gong, it's a bit expensive to sell level 5 personnel for 5 points, isn't it?" Meng De asked with some worry.
"The price set by the city lord, you go to him to argue..." Gong Wan rolled his eyes.
"Ahem, cough, I'm going to work." Meng De quickly picked up a box of mooncakes and slipped away to the front hall.
In the Da Zhangshu power, the city lord's order is God, and no one dares to deny Li Yu's order.
Li Yu's prestige has now reached an extremely high level.
soon.
Meng De asked people to close window No. 4, which caused dissatisfaction among the survivors who were queuing up.
A man wearing a blue striped short-sleeved shirt complained:
"No, we've been waiting in line for so long, why did it suddenly stop?"
Meng De patiently explained: "I'm really sorry, we have a new product. You can go to window 1, 2, and 3 to buy it."
"No matter what new product is released, it won't affect us from continuing to buy tortillas." The man frowned.
Hey!
It’s true!
Meng De patted his head and cursed himself for being stupid.
Brother Gong only said to sell mooncakes at window 4, but he didn’t say to suspend the sale of mooncakes at window 4. You can wait until tomorrow and set window 4 as the window for selling mooncakes.
Thinking about it from another perspective, these people have been waiting in line for more than ten minutes and finally got their turn. Now they have to line up again. It is really not good.
So, Mengde asked someone to clear some space from the tortillas on window No. 4, took out the mooncakes from the packaging bag, and stacked them into a hill for display.
Seeing the mooncakes placed inside through the glass, the man in the striped shirt's eyes widened.
"No, this is a moon cake? Can you still make this thing? How many points do you have per piece?"
Some survivors of Team 3 behind him and next to him heard his exclamation and cast their gazes over.
Everyone was talking about it as if they had seen something new and amazing.
"Holy crap, I can actually buy mooncakes!"
"Is that a mooncake?"
"I don't know, but it looks similar. If it's not expensive, I can buy one."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I want to buy it too. The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. If I can eat moon cakes in this apocalyptic world, it will satisfy my wish."
.....
In the midst of the discussion, Meng De placed the broken piece of moon cake at the front of the moon cake hill as a display.
Shredded bean salad, filled with dried fruits, golden skin, and exuding a fragrant aroma.
It is in great contrast to the dry tortillas next to it, which are made with corn stalks as the main ingredient.
"Oh my god, it's drawn, and it looks delicious at first glance."
"It feels very sweet and I want to eat it. I haven't eaten anything sweet for a long time."
"This bite must be very satisfying."
"My favorite thing is to eat bean paste stuffing..."
"How many points do I need? I'm really worried."
"It seems that I can only buy it at window four now. Do you want to queue up?"
"If it's not expensive, I'll have to get one. I haven't eaten mooncakes in years."
"How many points do you think you can accept?"
"0.5 points, 1 point at most, any higher is not necessary."
Amid the discussion, Meng De took the small blackboard he had written on, pushed open the side door and walked out, and hung the small blackboard next to the No. 4 glass window.
The man in striped short-sleeves who was at the front of the queue at window number 4 looked at the text on the small blackboard and read it out.
"Mooncakes are limited to Mid-Autumn Festival, only 500 pieces are available."
When he read the previous ingredients, he couldn't help but salivate.
But when he read the selling price, he was stunned.
"How much? 5 points? Are you trying to grab points? This is too expensive! Who can afford it?"
Several people in the queue behind him also saw the small blackboard, and when they saw 5 points, they also complained.
"Five points is too much. It can buy 20 tacos."
"Yeah, it's too expensive. I might as well buy 20 tortillas. The price is too high, so I won't buy it."
"Haha, can you afford it? Just say no."
"Shit, I have points. It's not that I can't afford moon cakes, but that corn cakes are more cost-effective!"
His remarks resonated with others.
Yes, compared to corn cakes, mooncakes are about the same size.
Moreover, corn tortillas contain higher starch content, are baked very dry, and have extremely low water content. One corn tortilla can fill you up.
Why do you price mooncakes so high?
There was a man in an undershirt in the crowd staring at the limited edition of 500 copies with a thoughtful look on his face.
Hearing them arguing over there, Meng De frowned and said:
"Don't make such nonsense. I'm not forcing you to buy it. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the striped man standing at the front, "What do you want?"
The striped man looked at the golden and crispy mooncakes and wanted to eat them very much. He was tired of eating corn cakes every day.
But he was really reluctant to spend five points to buy mooncakes.
"Two tacos."
With that said, he handed over his number plate.
"He also said that if you lower the price, I will definitely buy it."
Meng De took his number plate, deducted 0.5 points from him, printed out a small order, and handed it to him along with two tortillas.
"At this price, I'll buy it or not."
The striped man curled his lips, "With such a high price, no one will buy it!"
"Oh." Meng De ignored him.
Anyway, he was acting in accordance with the orders from above. If he really couldn't sell it, he wouldn't care about his affairs.
"Next."
Behind him was a middle-aged woman in her forties, handing over her number plate.
"Bring me a corn tortilla and a multigrain tortilla."
As she spoke, she looked at the mooncakes placed next to her.
The fillings of the mooncakes are real, and looking at the ingredient list, they even add eggs and milk. These are all luxurious and rare items.
But she really had no choice. Her husband was able to work at the construction site with great difficulty, and the points in his hand could not be squandered.
"0.55 points." Mengde deducted his points and gave her a multigrain cake and a tortilla.
Almost every survivor who came to buy later paid attention to the mooncakes, but no one bought them.
After four or five people in a row, a man in an undershirt finally spoke:
"Bring me 23 moon cakes and 23 corn tortillas."
As he said that, he took out the red team number plate.
In the trading market, two types of number plates will be issued, one for individuals and one for a team. A team must have more than ten people to form a team.
People in the team will also have personal number plates.
The reason why team number plates are issued is also for convenience.
Some things in the trading market are limited, and one person can only buy one or more copies. If a team of several hundred people use personal number tags to purchase, then hundreds of people will come to buy it.
Or a person could bring hundreds of number plates and swipe them one by one, which is extremely troublesome.
Therefore, the role of this kind of team number plate is reflected. You can use the rights of the team. How many people in the team can use as many quotas.
Generally speaking, this number plate will be placed in the hands of the team captain or vice-captain.
After everyone heard what this man said, they became excited.
"He is crazy! Can he get 23 mooncakes and more than a hundred points?"
"Yeah, 23 mooncakes, crazy, crazy! It's such a waste to buy so many."
"If you are not looking carefully, he has a team number plate, and he should have more than a hundred points. But if his team members find out about his squandering, they will probably beat him to death!"
"23 mooncakes, there should be 23 people in their team."
A man next to him with a yellow face and a mole on his nose reminded him:
"Brother, don't be impulsive. This is more than 100 points. You may be the captain of your team, but if you all buy mooncakes, your team members will definitely not be willing to do so. It's hard to earn points now, so don't squander it like this.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The man in the sweatshirt smiled and said meaningfully: "I suggest you buy one, it is limited."
After saying that, he ignored him and said to Meng De:
"Brother Meng, bring me 23 moon cakes and 23 corn tortillas."
Meng De looked at Zhu Ziming with a smile, "Your barbecue restaurant is doing such a good business, it's so grand."
He said and brought him 23 moon cakes and 23 corn tortillas.
Zhu Ziming and his team have exactly 23 people, and now they have one moon cake for each person.
"For Level 4 personnel, you will get 2 points for each moon cake, 23 for 46 points, and 51.75 points for tortillas." Meng De handed him the list.
Zhu Ziming packed the food in canvas bags he brought with him, and the hotel did not provide any packaging bags.
Nowadays, no one actually cares too much about whether it is dirty or clean.
It’s good to eat some.
After Zhu Ziming got the mooncake, he ran towards the barbecue restaurant excitedly.
I hurried to the barbecue restaurant.
The barbecue restaurant does a lot of business at night, and their team must have at least four or five people helping here.
"Where's the captain?" Zhu Ziming looked around the store and didn't find Xie Dongming, so he asked Wen Qian who was preparing ingredients.
Wen Qian pointed to the living area in the East District, "He is resting in the dormitory building."
Zhu Ziming quickly took out five corn cakes from the canvas bag and handed them to Wen Qian.
This is Wen Qian's dinner.
Although they set up stalls selling barbecue every day, selling these barbecued meats.
But they can't afford to eat it themselves, and they are reluctant to eat these barbecues. For them, eating meat is still too luxurious, so they still mainly eat tortillas every day.
Wen Qian glanced at Zhu Ziming's huge canvas bag and said, "Brother Zhu, what is in your bag? Why is it bulging so much more than usual?"
"You'll know later." Zhu Ziming ran towards the dormitory building without looking back.
Carrying a canvas bag of moon cakes and corn cakes, he quickly arrived at the second-level accommodation building.
Since they are Level 4 personnel, each of them only needs 0.01 points to live there.
If level 5 personnel want to live in a level 2 house, each person needs at least 0.1 points to be able to live there.
Huhu——
He rushed into the room where Xie Dongming was, and immediately saw Xie Dongming sitting on the edge of the bed packing packages. In two days, he planned to lead a team to go hunting in person.
Hearing the footsteps, Xie Dongming raised his head and saw Zhu Ziming.
"Ziming is here. I'll give the tortillas I bought back to everyone."
Zhu Ziming rushed to Xie Dongming and spread a clean blanket on the bed.
I took out the mooncakes one by one.
"Huh?? What is this?"
Xie Dongming opened the mooncake wrapping paper and poured out the mooncake from inside.
Looking at the familiar shape of the mooncake, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Mooncake? Where did it come from? Is this sold in the trading market now? How many points are one."
Zhu Ziming squatted beside the bed and said with a smile:
"2 points each."
"What?!" Xie Dongming looked at Zhu Ziming in surprise after hearing the price.
He and Zhu Ziming knew each other before the end of the world and have been old friends for more than ten years. They have a calm personality.
Moreover, his ability to survive in wild hunting was only slightly better than his own, so he trusted him with the team card and asked him to buy food.
Unexpectedly, he spent dozens of points to buy this thing without his permission.
This price is really too luxurious for them!
"Oh...you..."
When Xie Dongming finished speaking, he changed his mind again, "I bought everything, so that's it. It just so happens that the brothers have been having a hard time recently, so I'll give you some benefits. But you don't have to buy so much, just buy it for ten yuan."
"Brother Dongming, I feel like there is something profitable in this!"
"The limit is 500 copies. Even if there are more than 500 copies, it will definitely not be too much. There are tens of thousands of people in our trading market. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so it will definitely be a hot seller."
Xie Dongming frowned and said, "However, not everyone can afford it. After all, only a few people can afford it."
Zhu Ziming looked thoughtful and analyzed:
"Captain, there are thousands of Level 4 personnel in the trading bazaar, including the Tattoo Gang, the Dawn Group, the Iron-Blooded Gang, the Tianji Faction, the Garbage Group, the Summer Resort, the Jiming Hall...these are big forces with a long history. They
They can definitely afford mooncakes. Even if only one tenth of them buys them, all 500 mooncakes have been sold out by them."
"What's more, there are tens of thousands of fifth-level personnel. You see, forces like Tingfeng Tower, Water Dragon Society, Cold-Blooded Army, and Ax Gang are definitely not short of points. They can definitely afford it."
"When the supply exceeds demand and the Oil City hotel is sold out, we will take out these 23 mooncakes and sell them with five points, and we will make a profit!"
