Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 482: Insufficient Supply
The maximum time to enter the space has been fixed at seventy-two hours a day, and this refers to working hours, but this time she only needs to count the vegetables that can be distributed in the current space.
There are more than 30 kinds of vegetables available for use at present. Basically, a batch of common vegetables had been purchased at the beginning. However, due to the limitation of the amount of money at hand, the amount of each vegetable could only be controlled from a dozen kilograms to several dozen kilograms.
After that, a batch of quick-frozen side dishes that can be purchased for free in supermarkets and various restaurants are often seen: carrot strips, white radish slices, cucumbers, potatoes, eggplants, lettuce, fungus, and onion shreds. These are all pre-cut side dishes that are frequently used in restaurants.
In addition, the vegetables that have been harvested from the black soil and overlap with those purchased before are: cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbage, lettuce, loofah, pumpkin, chives, coriander, beans, etc. This also means that she can put these duplicate vegetables on the shelves for sale first. However, the quantity of these vegetables is not large, and it is expected that they will be sold out in less than a day or two. At that time, she will still need to put the vegetables she harvested from the black soil on the shelves for sale.
Because the black soil she owns is only two acres, if she is self-sufficient, she will not have to worry about it for several lifetimes. But it is indeed a bit difficult to sell to the outside, especially since the store has only been open for a few days. Especially after the popularity has increased, the goods are sold out very quickly. After all, people nearby have a certain economic ability, and the "purchase limit principle" set by the store makes everyone think that the goods here are in short supply.
However, the reality is that there is indeed a shortage. Only 23 kilograms of each type of vegetable are put on the shelves every day. At this rate, the two acres of land cannot satisfy the residents nearby.
Unless she has enough system points to upgrade the black soil again, the next upgrade requires 300,000 points, which can expand the land to five acres at one time.
Three hundred thousand system points, this is much more difficult to make money than at the base. The easiest way is to go to the northern forest to hunt mutant beasts. As long as you find a few S-level mutant beasts, you may succeed, but there are also huge risks. If Aoao and Tutu cooperate with each other, and with the blood vines in their bodies, you may be able to deal with an S-level mutant beast easily, but if you deal with it all at once, you can only consider whether it can survive.
Gu Tongwan is quite aware of her own strength. The blood vine is her trump card. Her own strength is actually only at the level of a B-level psychic. If she wants to deal with other psychics or high-level mutant beasts, she still needs the assistance of the blood vine.
It would be nice if I could have a few acres of my own land within the base...
Gu Tongwan thought about this and decided to close the store for two days on the weekend. It seemed that he had to go to the big forest in the north.
"Will you go to the big forest in the north with me the day after tomorrow? Aren't you going to take care of the store?" Yan Fan was sewing worn gloves and was a little surprised at Gu Tongwan's idea of going to the big forest in the north together.
"Every Saturday is a rest day. I don't plan to open the store for the time being. People need to rest properly. I also plan to find an employee to look after the store from next week. In this way, I only need to go to the store to check it every day, and I can allocate the rest of the time freely."
"Business in the store is good right now? Are you planning to hire a salesperson so soon?"
Although Yan Fan had never done business before, she had heard that a store would basically lose money in the first few months after opening, and it would take at least half a year to slowly make a profit. How long had she just opened the store and she was already thinking about hiring employees?
Gu Tongwan smiled and said, "Business is pretty good at the moment. It's a small business anyway, so it's good enough to make a profit in a month."
Yan Fan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Since you have already made the arrangements, I have no objection. However, the mutant beasts in the northern forest are unusually active. I guess it may be related to climate change. We can only go deep into the danger zone at most. As for the death zone, we should not approach it. There are S-level mutant beasts there. Once you go in, I am afraid you can get out."
"Well, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This time I went there mainly to find something."
"Things?" Yan Fan raised his head and asked curiously.
"Soil. I need a lot of soil. I plan to get a few plots of land in the backyard to grow some things, so I need soil from the big forest in the north." There is also a flat place in the backyard to grow some small vegetables. She originally planned to dig black soil from the space, but she found that once the black soil in the space was dug, the soil would fill up very slowly. It would take at least several months to gradually fill up the hollowed-out part, so it was not realistic to just bring soil out of the space. So she thought about starting from the big forest in the north. The plants there evolve very quickly, which means that in addition to being affected by the energy source, the soil and climate are also closely related.
She would drive a pickup truck in and see if she could dig up enough soil to fill the entire backyard. However, this was a physical job and it would probably take more than a day or two for her and Yan Fan to complete it.
The fast food was temporarily delayed due to Mrs. Qin's incident in the evening. Gu Tongwan just sorted out the supply for the next day and then went to rest. As a result, Xu Hang and a group of young men who wanted to buy fast food in the store returned disappointed the next day.
"Fast food will be available as normal the day after tomorrow, but in limited quantities." Gu Tongwan said as he sorted the shelves.
Xu Hang asked curiously, "Don't you plan to do fast food for a long time?" Perhaps worried that Gu Tongwan would misunderstand what he meant, he added, "After all, the fast food here tastes really good, much better than the snack street and some restaurants. Even if the price is increased, I think many people are still willing to pay for it."
"Well, there are not enough people. Currently, I'm the only one running this store. I prepare the fast food in advance every morning. If the quantity is too large, I'm worried that I won't have the physical strength to keep up." Gu Tongwan shook his head with helplessness on his face.
"Then have you ever thought about opening a restaurant directly, and then hiring a few staff to help in the kitchen? In this way, you won't have to do everything yourself." Xu Hang gave his suggestion. After all, he really hoped that Gu Tongwan could open a restaurant. After all, who could forget the boxed lunches here?
In fact, many people have given her such suggestions in the past two days, but Gu Tongwan can't say that the materials she uses are all of the best. This is her "trade secret". If she really wants to open a restaurant, it is hard to say where these materials come from. Besides, she is also worried that someone will have bad intentions. In order to avoid trouble, she should continue to run a fruit and vegetable store, and sell fast food as "special products" in the store.
Perhaps because he saw that Gu Tongwan was just smiling and had no intention of responding to the conversation, Xu Hang could only sigh silently in his heart. It seemed that the other party had no intention of doing this at all. Moreover, judging from the way this Miss Gu was dressed, she must have a certain family background. Perhaps opening a store was just her personal interest.
After Xu Hang left, a few more people came, all asking about boxed lunches. They were quite disappointed when they heard that there would be no lunch available today.
The vegetables sold out quite quickly today. By the time the store got off work at 5:30, almost two-thirds of the vegetables had been sold. As for fruits, apples were still the best-selling ones.
When she went home, she made a special trip to the meat processing factory. She considered that if she wanted to do the fast food business for a long time in the future, she would not be able to always take meat from the previous stockpile in the space. In addition, most people in the base could actually accept mutant meat. As long as it was marinated before cooking and more seasonings were used, the strange smell should be removed by 60 to 70 percent. In this way, the taste of the cooked dishes should not be too bad.
The price of meat in the meat processing plant has gradually returned to its original price, so she bought 50 kilograms of mutant pork, 50 kilograms of mutant mutton and beef, and 30 kilograms of mutant chicken at one time. She also bought 200 mutant eggs when she passed by the farmer's market before it closed completely. This trip cost her nearly 10,000 points, but she didn't feel so bad when she swiped her card when she thought about the huge profit she could make after deducting the cost.
After arriving home, Gu Tongwan moved the thermos bucket he received in the morning to the kitchen on the first floor. The lunch box he planned to prepare tomorrow would still consist of two and a half meat dishes and one vegetable, namely stir-fried pork, stir-fried pork liver, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves.
The sweet potato leaves were harvested from the space. They were very tender, so there was no need to tear off the outer layer of the rhizome skin. The stir-fried pork liver was stir-fried with onions and cumin, and the screw peppers used in the stir-fried pork were also cut in advance, which saved a certain amount of time. By the time a bucket of rice was steamed, she had almost finished cooking. She was busy from 7:30 until 9:30 in the evening before finally finishing.
Making fast food is indeed a physical job. It seems that she can get her daily physical training from here...
Gu Tongwan was frying and cooking, and the aroma kept drifting to the villa area. Liu Hun couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes fell on the faint smoke drifting out of the two floors opposite, and muttered: "What delicious food has the boss's girlfriend made again? The meals at home are really good every day."
"Don't smell it. The more you smell it, the more shabby the food we just ate seems."
Geng Zimo walked over to the side at some point, chewing a piece of dried meat in his mouth. It tasted only slightly salty due to the lack of seasoning, and it was also air-dried, so it tasted like chewing wax. But there were no snacks at home at the moment, so he could only eat a piece of dried meat to satisfy his craving.
In fact, their daily meals were not bad, and Ye Ziqiu's cooking skills were also acceptable. In order to ensure that the members got enough nutrition, basically every meal had meat and vegetables, and fruits were served after the meal. However, the staple foods had a rough texture, the meat had an unavoidable fishy smell, the vegetables had no taste, and the fruits were sour and astringent. Except for Fang Tang, who was not picky about food and always enjoyed his meals, everyone else would look bored when it was time to eat.
Originally, eating is an enjoyable thing, but because of the ingredients, eating has lost this fun.
"Hey, you see, since this young lady will be our sister-in-law in the future, it shouldn't be too much for us to go and have a meal with her occasionally, right?" Liu Hun asked whimsically with narrowed eyes.
Geng Zimo glanced at the closed bedroom door at the end of the corridor and just smiled faintly: "If you can withstand the boss's training, you can give it a try?"
Liu Hun shuddered when he thought about being scolded until midnight last night. Wasn't it just because he ate the stewed meat of the boss' girlfriend last time? The boss was so jealous...
When Liu Hun returned to the hall, he saw Xu Qingzhi and Xuyang repeatedly watching the images sent back from the dungeon. The images were of demons taken with a mini drone. Indeed, there were several demons in the corridors filled with energy stones, and they seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Ever since the last appearance of the demon species in the dungeon, the base government has not given any instructions. It is said that the capital is already discussing whether to send more S-level psychics to support Jiangcheng.
The opening of the dungeon cannot be delayed, and the research institute also hopes to capture one or two demon species alive to be used as experimental subjects, so everyone's attention is now focused on the "big cleanup operation" of the dungeon.
"The boss has been attending a video conference in the bedroom for more than an hour. It seems to be an internal meeting that only the top ten S-level psychics can attend. I don't know what plan he will come up with this time." Liu Hun picked up an apple on the table, took a bite, and then wanted to spit it out with disgust, but he happened to meet Ye Ziqiu's warning gaze and could only swallow it with reluctance.
Fang Tang next to him raised his head and said with a smile: "We will know after the meeting is over."
About ten minutes later, the bedroom door opened, accompanied by a cold breath, and everyone straightened their backs at the same time.
"Enter the underground city in three days." Chen Yanxi's expression was shrouded in a natural pressure, and the aura he had just released had not yet completely dissipated.
Since entering the dungeon was a matter of time, no one seemed too surprised when they received the notice.
"Captain, are there any other teams besides us this time?"
"The Capital Base will send Zhang Nantian and Beifeng, the Hunter Association will send two S-level and ten A-level psychics, and as for the guard team, the [Light Chasers] will also participate in the operation." Chen Yanxi said calmly.
"Heh, this Shen Lian always wants to take credit, without thinking that he is a demon. Does he think his team is very capable?" Liu Hun has always disliked people like Shen Lian who use their identity and background to advance step by step. Moreover, in several large-scale missions, Shen Lian always found ways to intercept their achievements. In addition, the outside world has been boasting that Shen Lian is a genius psychic with the same strength as Chen Yanxi, which makes Liu Hun even more disdainful of this hypocritical villain. After all, Shen Lian's strength is accumulated by nutrient solution. In terms of strength alone, Shen Lian is probably not enough to fight the boss for one round.
"The capital has made a big move this time. Zhang Nantian and Beifeng are both top ten masters on the S-level superpower list. It seems that the capital is also very interested in our Jiangcheng's underground city." Fang Tang was wiping his spear nearby. His voice was light, but there was no sense of tension before a big battle.
