Chapter 294 The genius of the apocalypse wasteland was cannon fodder (5)
Qingyou suddenly thought of something.
She bent down and pulled out a box from under the bed, opened it and saw that it was filled with jade and jade jewelry.
Yuan Shen has liked jadeite of various colors since she was a child, and her parents doted on her. Whenever she saw someone selling it outside, they would give it to her in exchange.
Credit points are used to live in the base, but if you want to exchange for any good resources, you have to use alien cores, so alien cores are the hard currency.
Gold and jade are not worth anything in the apocalypse, and this box can't be sold for many credits, so Ping Hongxi let it go.
But when Qingyou saw these jadeite, a smile appeared on his face.
Although she couldn't use the spirit spring, she had several ways to arrange the spirit gathering array in her mind.
An ordinary spirit gathering array can just use jade as energy source.
Qingyou took some broken jade, went to the field specially used for planting in the yard, and arranged a spirit gathering array.
The crops that had been pulled out but had not completely withered and died were planted back.
In addition to resources, what is scarce in the last days is food, especially original ecological food without mutation.
When the original mother's family fled, they took a lot of seeds with them.
After arriving at the survival base, we planted a lot. In addition, the family may be relatively talented, so the food, vegetables and fruits they grew had almost no variation.
It's not like most of the crops nowadays are mutated by radiation energy.
After the mutation, the yield of crops is higher than before the catastrophe, and the nutritional content is also higher. The satiety is about the same, but the taste is extremely poor.
However, this mutated crop can only be grown in limited fields in each major base, so the quantity is also limited, and food is always in short supply.
Therefore, the original ecological crops grown by the original mother are very popular and the price is very good, accounting for about 30% of the family's income.
Several weapons left by the original father were also taken away by Ping Hongxi, so Qingyou could not go out to hunt various mutants for the time being.
She planned to stay at home and wait for her sister to come back before making any plans.
Now she has nothing in her hands and can only rely on these crops to survive.
The spirit gathering array she just set up is an enhanced version. Although it will consume a lot of jade, the fruits and vegetables that are about to ripen will be ripen tonight and tomorrow.
Qingyou didn't clean up the house either, and was going to wait for her sister to come back and let her see Ping Hongxi's masterpiece.
Then he took out a jade pendant from the box and used his mental power to carve a defensive formation into it.
She guessed that even with her reminder, Ji Ying would continue to go out.
She didn't want her savior to die young like before, so she planned to give him an amulet.
If there is no talisman paper, cinnabar, etc., it will be the same if it is carved with jade, or even better.
Due to the limitation of mental strength and the fact that the body was very weak after being rescued, it was not completed until night.
Qingyou was very hungry now, so she went to dig some ripe potatoes in the yard.
He also grabbed some firewood from the corner of the yard, burned it in the earthen stove in the kitchen, and roasted the potatoes.
When my original parents first came to District 4, there was no electricity, so they used earthen stoves and firewood for cooking.
Water resources are also very scarce now. The water in the water pipes is imported from outside. Although it has been treated with radiation and anti-virus, it can only be used for bathing and flushing toilets.
Drinking water had to be filtered through equipment developed later before it could be drunk.
The filtered water is in the hands of large families, so no matter which district you are in, you need to buy drinking water separately, which is not cheap.
Similar to buying barreled and bottled mineral water in modern times.
One credit can only buy 300 ml.
What's even worse for Ping Hongxi is that she took away all the drinking water from her home, so Qingyou couldn't even use the induction cooker to boil potatoes.
After eating the potatoes, Qingyou walked to the door and used her mental power to sense it. She found that the person staring at her was still there, so she went back to her room to sleep with peace of mind.
Get up the next day and pick the ripening vegetables and fruits in the yard.
I dug out the buried jade and looked at it. Sure enough, it had turned into transparent color.
She replaced a batch of emeralds, and at the same time changed the arrangement of the formation, no longer strengthening it.
Although the ripening time will be slower, the consumption of jade will also be much slower.
Then Qingyou picked up the ripened vegetables and fruits and went out to walk to the specialized trading place in the fourth district.
The neighbors near her home were reluctant to buy this kind of vegetables, so she never thought of selling it to them.
The people from the Ji family who were staring at her still followed.
After walking for more than an hour, Qingyou finally arrived at the trading market.
There are two doors in the trading market, one is for sellers and the other is for buyers.
The reason for the distinction is that sellers have to pay stall fees when entering.
But the guards here can also ensure the safety of sellers. As long as they are in the market, robbing things, forced buying and selling, etc. are not allowed to occur.
Qingyou walked to the door specially used by the seller. If anyone wanted to enter, he would swipe his bracelet against a machine. After the credit points were successfully deducted, the door would open automatically.
However, although it is automatic, there are still people watching.
So Qingyou walked over and gave a tomato to the middle-aged woman who was guarding the door.
She came closer and said: "Auntie, I have no credit points now, can you let me in to sell some food?"
The middle-aged woman quickly gathered the tomatoes.
This tomato looks original at first glance, and it is difficult to buy it with credit points.
If he brought it back to his son to eat, he would be so happy.
Of course, even if she saw someone selling it, she would be reluctant to buy it.
She saw that Qingyou had fair skin and was well-dressed. She didn't look like someone who would make trouble.
He couldn't bear to send the tomato back, so he nodded, "Come in quickly."
Then he swiped his employee card and opened the door.
Qingyou said thank you to her and walked in immediately.
Entering the market, she found a stall in an unoccupied corner and took out the vegetables she was carrying and placed them on the table.
Then I looked around and found that this market was about the same size as a modern medium-sized vegetable market. It was not only about buying vegetables, but also selling everything.
However, most of them sell daily necessities or random unfamiliar things, and the least number of people sell food and drink.
Although Qingyou was in a corner stall, it immediately attracted the attention of several well-dressed people because it brought out original vegetables.
They all came over and asked, "How do you sell this cabbage?"
"How do you sell these tomatoes?"
Qingyou quoted the price according to the original mother's price and refused to bargain.
Although the price was high, these people were willing to eat it, so they quickly divided it up and bought it all.
She also has more than 300 extra credit points in her bracelet, which is not easy!
Qingyou walked around and saw someone selling gold, silver and jade jewelry. Then she picked out the one with jade and spent a hundred credits to buy it before leaving.
No one dared to cause trouble in the market, but after walking some distance away, Qingyou found that she was still being followed.
These two people probably weren't interested in her two hundred credits, but rather in the source of the original vegetables she brought out.
Qingyou didn't care. Instead of walking back this time, she took the bus.
In addition to Ji Yong's people, people in the market who were staring at her also got in the car.
After getting off the bus, we still have to walk for a while before we get home.
Halfway through, two fierce-looking men stepped forward quickly, trying to block Qingyou.
But before he could catch Qingyou, he was dragged away with his mouth covered by two people who suddenly appeared.
When Qingyou turned around, the two people had just been dragged to an alley on the side.
She smiled at a middle-aged man with an ordinary face who pretended to be a passerby, "Thank you very much!"
Then he took out a jade necklace and a piece of paper from his bag and handed it over, "Please give this to your lady."
Qingyou's move made the middle-aged man look surprised.
