Chapter 1525 Waiting for the harvest season

Trading market.

Commercial area.

Shop No. 3.

This shop is the official store of Oil City to collect various sundries.

Many survivors collect some useful materials, or some wild meat, Chinese medicine and other things outside, which can be evaluated here and exchanged for corresponding points.

Due to the large demand for this type of things, Shop No. 3 has expanded from one store to four stores at the beginning, with an opening area of ​​nearly 20 square meters, covering a wide area.

Different counters are divided according to different categories.

There are more than 20 staff members in this store.

The general manager is Sister Lan.

Sister Lan is also an old man in Oil City. A long time ago, she was the first batch of cooperative personnel in Oil City, leading Niu Gao and others to cooperate with Oil City for a long time.

Later, Oil City was reformed several times, and they were gradually promoted to non-staff personnel.

Sister Lan was the manager of a large supermarket before the end of the world and had rich management experience.

She has enough vision and skills.

Food and Chinese medicine counter.

Chu Juan and Liu Zhuangshi held their breath and looked at the counter. An old man in front of the counter picked up the wild yams in their baskets one by one and even put them to the tip of his nose to smell them.

After he seemed to think there was no problem, he put them on the electronic scale to weigh them.

Drops——

56 jin 5 liang.

Seeing this number on the electronic scale, Chu Juan and others smiled with surprise.

This was even higher than they expected.

They didn't weigh it. The wild yams they brought back in the evening were only roughly estimated to be about 50 jin.

"Are you going to sell all these golden cherry and mountain twist?" the old man asked.

"Yes, yes." Chu Juan nodded and answered quickly.

The old man took a small basket and pulled out all the golden cherry and mountain twist.

Weighed them one by one.

The golden cherry weighed half a jin, and the mountain twist was 2 jin 3 liang.

Golden cherry and mountain twist are both wild fruits and Chinese medicine.

Among them, the effects of golden cherry are to consolidate semen and reduce urine, consolidate uterine bleeding and stop leukorrhea, and astringe the intestines to stop diarrhea.

The wild yam can activate blood circulation and dredge collaterals, astringe and stop bleeding, regulate the liver meridian and spleen meridian, and have therapeutic effects on rheumatic bone diseases, joint mobility problems, human trauma, bleeding and other diseases.

The old man slowly pressed the calculator, zeroing, zeroing, and zeroing.

After pressing it all the time, a number was obtained.

The old man took out the points punching machine and said to them:

"You have a total of 56 jin and 5 liang of wild yam. 1 jin of wild yam can be exchanged for 0.5 points, and wild yam can be exchanged for: 28.25 points.

There are a total of wild yam 2.3 jin, 1 jin of mountain twist can be exchanged for 0.3 points, which can be exchanged for 0.69 points.

There are 0.5 jin of golden cherry, 1 jin of golden cherry can be exchanged for 0.3 points, which can be exchanged for 0.15 points.

The three kinds can be exchanged for a total of 29.09 points. "

"If there is no problem, I will record it for you."

Chu Juan did some mental calculations and found that there was no problem. She nodded with a smile and said:

"Thank you, Teacher Ma, please help us record it."

Ma Zheng looked at Chu Juan, and a smile appeared on his originally iron-faced face. He pointed to a sign next to him and said:

"Next time, you can look for plants and herbs that can exchange for higher points."

Chu Juan looked at a huge sign next to her, on which were densely written various names of herbs. The first few were: Sanguisorba officinalis, Golden Line Lotus, and Paris polyphylla.

After seeing these herbs, she smiled bitterly in her heart. Although these herbs exchanged for high points, they were not so easy to find.

But in the face of Mr. Ma Zheng's reminder, she still said gratefully: "Thank you."

Ma Zheng is the father of Ma Dong, a member of the Hefeng team. He used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner in a small county town for his whole life. In addition to sitting in the Chinese medicine hall in the trading market, he also came to the counter to do some work.

At an old age, his health has been much better in the past two years.

Ma Zheng asked a staff member next to him to come and settle with them.

"The Charm of Plants team, captain Chu Juan, the last balance points were 15.3 points, an increase of 29.09 points, and now a total of: 44.39 points."

"Here is your points list, please check it."

The female staff handed the list to Chu Juan.

Chu Juan stretched out her hands and took it with a hunched back.

"Thank you."

The staff here are at least level 4 personnel. They treat you so well. If you, a level 5 personnel, are not polite, it will make them unhappy.

If you offend the people at the counter, they will also find a way to deal with you.

However, the trading market seems to have implemented a suggestion box recently, and survivors are welcome to report.

I don't know if it works, and she hasn't tried it.

After checking the points list and finding no problem, she smiled and replied: "No problem, thank you."

After that, she took the basket, led the students to make way, and walked out the door.

Wang Beibei took Chu Juan's arm and said excitedly:

"Professor Chu, can we have something delicious tonight?"

"Yes, yes, nearly 45 points, my God, this is the first time we have so many points!" Wang Yong nodded vigorously.

Professor Chu smiled and said nothing, and took everyone directly to the shop selling corn cakes.

I spent 3 points to buy 12 corn cakes.

This corn cake is dry and has a low water content. Although one cake costs 0.25 points, it is the most cost-effective food for the survivors of the bottom.

Because of the low water content, it is very solid. One cake is about the size of an adult's palm. Eating one cake alone is enough for a meal.

But because of the low water content, it tastes very dry and it is easy to choke if you don't eat it with water.

This corn cake is made by crushing the whole corn, including the corn cob inside, into powder, adding a very small amount of flour, cooking oil, and salt, kneading and baking.

Before the end of the world, corn cobs were generally thrown away or fed to pigs.

But in the end of the world, corn cobs can be eaten. Corn cobs are rich in nutrients, containing 54.5% sugar, 2.2% crude protein, and 0.4% crude fat, and 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, with extremely low moisture content and a long shelf life. If it is placed in a sealed jar, it can be stored for two months without any problem.

It can also be used to cook porridge or as dry food, which is very convenient and is the most popular food in the trading market.

Chu Juan distributed 12 corn cakes to everyone. There were six of them in total, two for each person.

This was already extremely luxurious. In the most difficult times, they had two corn cakes and six people shared them.

But now, each person has two corn cakes.

A few people were a little disappointed because they didn't eat meat, but at least they were finally full today.

"Hey, Professor Chu, can't we eat a string of meat? Anyway, we have enough points. At most, we can get more wild yams tomorrow." Liu Zhuangshi said with a sigh while eating dry corn cakes.

Before Chu Juan could answer, another tall young man Liu Yibo spoke up:

"Six people, now there are less than 42 points left, an average of 7 points per person,

Accommodation costs money, 0.02 points per person per day, if each person has two tortillas per day, the cost per person per day is 0.52 points.

The cost of six people per day is 3.12 points. 42 points can't last us two weeks."

After his calculation, everyone's mood suddenly fell from the clouds.

The cost of housing in the trading market is very low, especially since they are living in the worst third-tier rooms.

It only costs 0.02 points per day, and only 0.6 points per month.

As long as you are not a waste who eats and waits for death, you can basically afford to live there.

But you have to eat. With this calculation, two tortillas a day is still too luxurious.

It has been two months since the thunderstorm disaster. If it weren't for their luck today, they might only have a dozen or twenty points on hand.

After hearing Liu Yibo's calculation, Liu Zhuangshi felt a little guilty and said to Chu Juan:

"Professor Chu, why don't we just have one tortilla each tonight and save some money."

"In the future, the daily quota for each person will be one and a half tortillas a day."

Chu Juan smiled and shook her head and said:

"Everyone has worked hard today. Since we have a big harvest, we should have a sense of ceremony after the big harvest, so that we will have the motivation to work harder to find more things in the future. Eat it."

"In the future, we can find more wild yams, or even other plants with higher value."

Everyone nodded, with determination flashing in their eyes.

Professor Chu always has this charm, which can stabilize people's hearts and make them convinced.

No matter how big the difficulties are, Professor Chu is always so calm.

When she searched for a long time without finding any usable plants, she would say that when you reach the end of the water, you can sit and watch the clouds rise.

After leaving the bustling commercial area, the group went straight to the living and accommodation area in the East District.

The street lights were very bright, and their shadows were stretched very long.

On this road, there are still some pedestrians returning from the industrial zone.

Liu Yibo looked at the group of people with some envy. He had asked about the income of working on the construction site.

0.5~0.6 points a day, which doesn't seem much.

But, they provide food!

Two corn cakes are given when they go to work, which is 1 point per person per day.

If the six of them all work on the construction site, they will earn 6 points a day.

Apart from other things, excluding meals, in just two months, the six of them can save 180 points, instead of the pitiful 40 points now.

However, part of the quota for the construction site's work was given to level 4 personnel and part to level 5 personnel.

Unfortunately, none of them got the job.

Oil City.

The lights are as bright as day.

This time, the crowd did not hold a meeting in the conference room, but came to the roof of the fifth floor.

The closer it is to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rounder the moon is.

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 of the trading market, the purple-blue ultraviolet lights flashing on the wall of the trading market in the distance, and the searchlights patrolling back and forth.

He smiled and said, "Did Hong Gongcao and the others change two more guns?"

"Yes, 50 points were spent overnight, and I went out to change two more guns today."

Lao Luo couldn't control his smile and continued:

"We have learned a lesson this time and bought dozens of corn cakes directly, but I feel that they will definitely go to Tingfeng Tower again later."

Da Pao curled his lips and thought to himself: Tingfeng Tower is the most boring thing.

Li Yu nodded and said, "Well, let someone keep a close eye on it, and let them sell all the guns and valuable things step by step in the future. We can contact one or two people at the appropriate time later."

"Understood."

Li Yu asked again: "Have the grain transported by Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu been checked and verified?"

Lao Luo quickly replied:

"It is still being checked and verified. According to the list records they brought,

the grain transported this time is: 500 tons, bullets: 200,000 rounds, and artillery shells: 1,000 rounds."

Li Yu was amazed when he heard the number of grain transported.

Damn it!

Oil City and the trading market really consume grain.

500 tons! It is only enough for Oil City to support three to four months.

The consumption is really amazing!

Fortunately, Dazhangshu is now a big family with a deep accumulation in the early years, otherwise it really can't support so many people.

In addition, the agricultural planting in the inner city, the first, second, third, and fourth outer cities of Dazhangshu base has been stable, and the current annual output can reach 1,350 tons.

Now that the trading market has expanded, it is still a bit difficult to maintain the normal operation of the trading market.

However, they have 3,500 tons of reserve grain, which is enough to support the three places for a year even if there is no grain output.

In addition, in another three months, the more than 10,000 acres of greenhouses at the headquarters of Dazhangshu base will mature. At that time, the annual grain output of Dazhangshu base will not be 1,350 tons, but more than 10,000 tons, directly doubling the grain output tenfold.

In addition, there is the North Territory. The greenhouses in the North Territory will usher in a comprehensive harvest season in four months.

By that time, Dazhangshu base and the North Territory will have a full harvest.

The food problem will completely solve the current dilemma.

While thinking about these things, Li Yu listened to Lao Luo's report on Xiao Hu's food transportation.

After Lao Luo finished speaking, Li Yu stretched his arms and said:

"I know roughly. I will return to the big camphor tree base tomorrow. The things here will be mainly handed over to you and the minister."

"You pay attention. It happens that Ju Tianrui is also training new soldiers here. If you have any questions, you can ask him for advice."

"Okay."

Lao Luo nodded and asked curiously:

"Is the city lord so anxious to return to the headquarters? Won't you stay in the 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 built. I will go back to see it. If there is any problem, it will be adjusted in time."

"So that's it." Lao Luo suddenly realized that he had also heard of this project.

The current oil city has actually been building outposts around it, but they are not as wide as the big camphor tree base, and only cover the two surrounding counties, so they were completed very early.
