Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The furniture store owner Zhuoyang quickly asked Gu Tongwan and Liao Yunyun to enter the store. It was still early and there were not many people in the alley, making it seem even more deserted.

Zhuoyang took two wooden chairs from the side and asked the two to sit down, scratching his head embarrassedly and saying, "I'm sorry, there's nothing we can offer you in the store. I'll go boil some water for you." Then he walked towards a small compartment in the back, which was like a kitchen.

"Boss, you don't have to be so polite. I'm here to pick up the goods and bring my friend here to order some furniture. Let's talk about business first."

Zhuo Yang was startled for a moment, then he smiled and nodded, and handed Liao Yunyun a business card, and introduced with a smile: "You can take a look at this beauty today, and if you find one that suits your taste, you can make a reservation. My contact information is on it, and you can add me directly on the app."

Liao Yunyun originally didn't believe that there could be a good furniture store in such a place, but she came here anyway out of trust for her friend. She had visited several furniture stores in the commercial street here before. Although the prices were much cheaper than those in the inner circle, the quality was really hard to praise, especially since most of them were second-hand goods. Not to mention that the outer skin had peeled off, some were even missing arms and legs, and were only repaired with wood. The look was really unbearable, and even so, a set of sofas cost two or three hundred points.

However, the apartment has been delivered, and if she continues to live in the dormitory, she will have to endure the noisy environment and the dangers of commuting to and from get off work every day. Liao Yunyun still hopes to move to the inner circle as soon as possible. She can put off purchasing other furniture for the time being, but the three major items of tables, chairs and beds must be purchased today.

Liao Yunyun's eyes fell on the goods on one side, a wooden chair and a table. Although the workmanship was simple, the wood felt very smooth.

When she saw the price, she found that it would cost more than 900 points to bring two chairs, which was more than her monthly salary, and she was immediately embarrassed.

Her original budget was only around 500 yuan. After all, she still had to buy wardrobes, curtains, and some kitchen utensils. There was only 1,200 yuan left on her points card. There was still nearly half a month before salary was paid. If she spent it all, she would have to starve for the rest of her life.

Perhaps seeing her hesitation, the boss smiled and explained, "This is made of logs. Although it is made of leftovers from large furniture, it is all good wood, not plywood. It won't get moldy or damp even in rainy weather. The price is already very low."

Liao Yunyun knocked on the table and felt that the material of the wood board was indeed not that kind of low-quality synthetic wood board. After hesitating for a while, she nodded and said, "Boss, can it be a little lower? If possible, I have a big bed and cabinets in the back that can also be customized from you."

Gu Yang frowned, but when he saw Gu Tongwan next to him, he hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you at about the cost price, and then give you a discount of about 80 yuan. This is the last price I can give you."

Although this price was still a bit higher than what Liao Yunyun had expected, she thought that the wood was indeed made of good quality and she was afraid that the boss would be unhappy if she cut it down any further, so she smiled and nodded, "Then please send it to this address for me." Liao Yunyun had just added the boss, so she sent him an address on the communication software.

Gu Yang saw that he had delivered goods here before, "I know this neighborhood. I delivered furniture to another customer last time. The security there is pretty good."

On the other side, Gu Tongwan wanted to see the batch of furniture he had customized, so Zhuoyang lifted a curtain at the back, revealing a small warehouse with a fairly large space, at least fifty or sixty square meters. There was a strong smell of paint and wooden furniture in the air.

Gu Yang walked to several large pieces of furniture, pointed at a bed, two large wardrobes, several tables and a bookshelf, and said, "Miss Gu, you can take a look at them first."

Gu Tongwan took a quick look at the furniture and found that the workmanship was very good. Especially the bed and bookcase, which were even sprayed with dark waterproof paint according to her request, making them look more upscale.

Because Liao Yunyun complained about the bad air, she stayed outside alone and continued to look at other furniture.

When the two people came out, Liao Yunyun heard Gu Tongwan say to the boss, "I'll pay the remaining balance here first. Delivery should be free, right?"

"Delivery is free within a 10-kilometer radius, and an additional 20 points are required for every kilometer beyond 10 kilometers."

It was at least fifteen kilometers from here to the villa area. Gu Tongwan did not plan to continue bargaining and paid the remaining balance directly in the store, spending a total of several thousand points.

Here, Liao Yunyun dragged Gu Tongwan to go shopping. At around ten o'clock in the morning, the shops in the commercial street had started to open one after another. In addition to hardware and grocery stores and some small supermarkets, there were also some food and beverage shops, including steamed bun shops, pancake shops, noodle shops and restaurants, and even two or three shops specializing in beverages, which are called "milk tea shops" in the apocalypse.

It's not that there is no "milk" in the end times, but in fact it cannot be called milk. It is a mutated animal that is the result of a cross between a cow and a horse. This animal is also called a "mutated cow". The meat of the mutated bull is tougher and is generally used for barbecue or braised meat, while the meat of the mutated cow is kept to produce milk. The taste of its dairy products is similar to that of milk, but it needs to be boiled and a little ginger added, otherwise the taste will be a bit fishy.

But in the end times when food and clothing are difficult, ordinary people will not be too particular, so various milk drinks and milk tea shops made from this mutated milk are quite popular, and one cup costs only five to ten points.

However, for ordinary office workers, such a drink that costs almost half a day's salary is still very expensive, so generally only "petty white-collar workers" with slightly better family conditions or stable jobs can enjoy it.

Before the end of the world, Liao Yunyun ran a milk tea shop, so she was extremely interested in this type of product. Although she almost vomited when she drank it for the first time, after her taste buds gradually adapted, she didn't find it too bad. At least it was much better than drinking water or strange beverages every day.

She was very generous and ordered two cups, one with normal sugar and normal ice, and one with a little sugar and no ice. After handing the latter cup to Gu Tongwan, she began to drink it with relish.

There is actually a similar beverage store in the Inner Circle Commercial Street, but Gu Tongwan has never been in to try it. Now that Liao Yunyun is treating her, she won't hesitate.

She lowered her head and took a sip. The strong smell of milk and the spicy taste of ginger that filled her mouth made her pupils dizzy instantly.

Liao Yunyun noticed her friend's strange look, but she was already used to it. After all, very few people can accept this taste the first time.

At this moment, a military jeep stopped behind the two of them, and a low voice came from behind.

"What are they drinking?"

When Gu Tongwan turned around, he saw a face with cold pale skin and delicate eyebrows and eyes. He was stunned for several seconds. This face was exactly like the clean face that Chen Yanxi had when he left the orphanage.

Compared with ten years ago, he has not changed much. The only change is the precipitation of his temperament. But it must be said that the face is indeed too pleasing to the eyes. In ancient times, Lanling King Gao Changgong had to wear a mask on the battlefield because he was too handsome. Could it be that Chen Yanxi's habit of wearing a mask is also to prevent unnecessary trouble caused by this face?

But she couldn't swallow the milk in her mouth. With the sudden appearance of Chen Yanxi and the shock brought by that face, it was too late for Gu Tongwan to cover her mouth. She turned her head and spat out a mouthful of milk.

Liao Yunyun: "...Wanwan, did you spit up milk?"
