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

Xiaoyu said "Ah", and then asked in surprise: "That kind of store?"

"What are you thinking? I mean it should be a store like a private detective agency. I just noticed there are several telephones in the store, and there are several sofas inside. There are even blinds upstairs. Plus, those men give me the same feeling as some private detectives I've met before."

At present, there are quite a few large and small private detective agencies opened in the base. These agencies specialize in taking on matters that are inconvenient for customers to investigate in person, including finding people, finding things, or background checks on companies. Some advanced private detective agencies even have their own special agents, who will take on difficult tasks or cases that the guilds don't. But at the same time, the fees charged by private detective agencies are 2-3 times that of ordinary guilds, or even higher. Therefore, their profession is often ridiculed by the outside world as "one case a month, and a profit of half a year", because the remuneration they charge is really ridiculously high, but their work efficiency is extremely fast. People who can open private detective agencies often have their own connections and relationships in all walks of life, and they may even be advanced special agents themselves.

Recently, the blood vine branches in Gu Tongwan's body have been in a "dormant period". Unless her life is in danger, the blood vine branches will continue to remain dormant.

However, regardless of whether he is a high-level psychic or not, Gu Tongwan does not need to have too much interaction with him at the moment. The most important thing at the moment is to prepare for the opening of the store in three days.

------

While preparations for opening the store are going on in an orderly manner, Cai Min has already officially started work at the fruit and vegetable store.

As the new store manager, Cai Min still has her own ideas. Although she wonders why Gu Tongwan cannot hand over the purchasing channels to her, she can understand that this may be the confidence that Gu Tongwan can gain a firm foothold in the base. This is nothing short of a trade secret, which is closely related to the store and her personal interests. If you put yourself in her shoes, she has a trade secret in her hands, and Cai Min will not easily hand this thing over to other people.

"I'll bring goods here every three days, and there won't be a lot. Our fruit and vegetable store still mainly sells high-quality fruits and vegetables, so should we use a limited-sales hunger marketing approach, or a while-sold-out business model? That's something you'll have to consider, Sister Cai. I'll hand the store over to you with confidence, and you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, just go for it." Gu Tongwan also came to deliver goods this time, and he added two large freezers to the store, so that when the temperature gradually rises into summer, some of the fruits and vegetables that couldn't be sold that day can be put into the freezers for refrigeration.

Cai Min counted the goods and said with a smile: "You are embarrassing me. I don't have that much ability. I just hope that I don't have to pay for the store when it is handed over to me. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of you."

"How could that be? You are very experienced. Even a newbie like me was able to make back the money I invested when I opened the store. You will only be more successful than me." Gu Tongwan couldn't help but praise.

Cai Min suppressed her laughter and shook her head, saying, "Come on, stop it. If we continue to brag about business, there will be no end to it. But seriously, the clerk you found is really good, hardworking and capable, and he is also honest. I like him very much."

"As for Luo Mei, she is indeed very honest, eager to learn and making rapid progress. I originally planned to take her to the guesthouse, but she is not suitable for accommodation, so I still arranged for her to stay in the store. However, Luo Mei has one day off a week, so you and Luo Mei may need to be on duty alone one day. If there is a shortage of manpower, please tell me and I can send someone from the guesthouse to help."

"Oh, it's not a big deal. I'll ask my mother to help when I'm on duty. It's really okay. But I'm worried about Luo Mei being alone. Maybe I will need you to arrange one more person at that time." After saying that, Cai Min couldn't help but look back at Luo Mei who was tidying up the shelves in the store. She looked so focused that it seemed that she was already looking forward to the fruit and vegetable store reopening in two days.

Luo Mei was humming a little tune, not only because the fruit and vegetable store could finally reopen, but also because her mother Zhou Ruchu's condition had gradually improved with the end of the extreme cold. She had even started taking walks with Luo Cheng in the community and could go to the nearby market to buy things by herself. It was not known whether this had anything to do with the medicines the proprietress had given her before, but no matter what, a big stone in Luo Mei's heart had finally fallen to the ground. No matter what, everything was moving in a good direction.

这次顾桐晚拉了不少菜来，黄瓜200斤、番茄200斤、小葱香菜50斤、韭菜100斤、大白菜200斤、冬瓜30个、南瓜的30个、丝瓜100斤、南瓜苗100斤、小白菜100斤、空心菜100斤、土豆200斤、平菇50斤、豆芽50斤，水果类的暂时只拿了四五种过来，苹果200斤、芒果200斤、雪梨200斤、葡萄100斤、木瓜200斤。

As for other rice, flour and some beans, Cai Min was told that he could purchase them appropriately in the nearby market and the price should be the same as that of the supply and marketing cooperative. However, the prices of other high-quality fruits and vegetables must be increased and they can be sold in a fixed quantity every day.

While checking the goods with Cai Min, I also received a message from Xu Hang.

Recently, after learning that her fruit and vegetable store had reopened, the first thing Xu Hang asked about was the boxed lunches. During the extreme cold, boxed lunches had become the hope of their guild's daily life, so after the fruit and vegetable store suspended business, the [Yuanhang Guild] was in a state of "misery", and even the guild leader invited everyone to a small restaurant, and after the meal, everyone could only miss the top-notch boxed lunches even more.

Xu Hang [Boss Gu, is there any hope that boxed lunch will return? We are really looking forward to it, just wanting to eat boxed lunch again. ]

To be honest, boxed lunches are quite profitable. Gu Tongwan has had this idea recently. Can Yu Chang prepare some boxed lunches every day? Part of the ingredients can actually be taken out from the space, and the rest can be from the farmer's market. I believe that with Yu Chang's cooking skills, even slightly inferior ingredients will be processed perfectly by him, and he can also make extra money.

Gu Tongwan [Don't worry, after my guesthouse opens successfully, the boxed lunches will be back soon. By the way, you are welcome to come over on the opening day. From now on, if you are a member of the [Voyage Guild] and stay here, I can give you a 50% discount, and it includes food and lodging. On the opening day, come and try the dishes made by our restaurant chef. It's my treat.]

Xu Hang: [No problem at all. We will definitely go to your store to show our support someday.]

Gu Tongwan [The day after tomorrow at 10 am, but you may need to arrive earlier. There are many people entering the dungeon recently, and you need to queue up to register for a temporary pass.]

In fact, if the lunch box business is done well, it is indeed profitable. Apart from the cost of ingredients, gas and labor, a lunch box can make at least 10 points. If 50 boxes are sold a day, there will be at least 500 points. With this calculation, the monthly income is very considerable. If she did not open a guesthouse, if the weather permits, it would not be a problem to sell lunch boxes a day.

After chatting with Xu Hang for a few more sentences, Gu Tongwan went home to pick up Aoao and Tutu. This time, he replaced the SUV with a van, because he considered it unsafe to leave the car in the yard, so he sent a message to Yan Fan, asking Yan Fan to drive the car to the villa area first. The security system in the villa area is of a high level and ordinary people cannot enter, and they don't dare to set their sights on it, so it is safest to leave the car inside.

However, Gu Tongwan did not intend to leave the house upstairs completely vacant once he entered the underground city. Although the walls and electric fences had been raised, they would still attract the covetousness of others in the apocalypse, so he had to find a way to protect the house upstairs.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Tongwan turned on all the monitoring systems. The monitoring systems were connected to her mobile phone, so she could access the monitoring images inside and outside the yard at any time. If someone stepped into the yard and triggered the alarm, the alarm would sound first, and then the emergency information would be sent to her mobile phone, so that she could know what was happening in the yard through her mobile phone at the first time.

The house on the ground was one she had spent a lot of time and effort decorating. She would feel bad if it was rented out or left vacant, so it was better for her to live in both houses. Anyway, the two houses were not far apart. It would take less than 40 minutes to drive from here to the new house in the underground city, and just half an hour to get to the restaurant. It was said that a light rail connecting the ground and underground would be built in the next ten years, so the time could be shortened by half.

After returning home, Gu Tongwan did not rush to leave. He first put Aoao and Tutu into the system space to eat. Now the mutant animal corpses previously stored in the system have been decreasing, and Aoao and Tutu need to eat about once a week, and each time they need to eat about 100KG of raw meat.

So recently Gu Tongwan has been considering waiting for the weather to warm up a little. She wants to choose a suitable time to take the two dogs into the northern forest again.

Turn on the heater in the house. There is no need to burn charcoal for heating anymore. The indoor air conditioning is enough.

She moved the winter coats in the closet into the space, leaving only some thin down jackets and trousers suitable for Jiangcheng winter wear. She washed the sheets and hung them out to dry in the yard. The sun was very strong at noon these two days, so they would be basically dry after two days of drying. Although she had a dryer at home, she preferred the smell of sheets dried in the sun.

After finishing the housework, Aoao and Tutu were full, and the two dogs lay outside in the yard to bask in the sun, feeling somewhat contented.

Especially Aoao, his jet-black hair was all in a state of standing up. After stretching his waist, he found a comfortable corner to lie down. But before he fell asleep, he suddenly trembled all over. A familiar but somewhat uneasy breath was gradually approaching him.

Gu Tongwan was holding pet-specific shower gel and a huge towel in his hands, and was wearing a disposable raincoat, as he was approaching Aoao.

Tutu now understood that the owner was going to give them a bath. Although there was a struggle in his eyes, he quickly accepted it. Although he didn't like the feeling of being wet, it was more comfortable to lick clean and smooth hair than dirty hair.

Compared with Tutu, Aoao has a more lively personality, and Gouzi is also more naughty, so as soon as he realized that he was about to take a bath, he immediately stood up and wanted to run towards the gate of the yard.

"Aoao!"

Gu Tongwan's cold voice sounded behind him, completely blocking Aoao's attempts to escape.

"Ouch!"

Aoao screamed, and although she was reluctant, she still obediently returned to Gu Tongwan.

Gu Tongwan picked up the faucet in the corner with a smile, installed the water pipe skillfully, and then tested the water temperature.

The cold touch made her shiver uncontrollably, but the two dogs had thick skin and could move freely outdoors in the extreme cold, and could even swim a few laps in the glacier. This little temperature was nothing to them.

Gu Tongwan grabbed Aoao's tail and slowly wet its hair with cold water. Aoao let out two low sounds of dissatisfaction but did not struggle drastically. It was estimated that he had been scolded for splashing water all over his master before, so he was used to showing his dissatisfaction with small movements or low sounds.

The shower gel I used this time was peach-flavored. I bought several large boxes of pet supplies from the supermarket and thought they took up a lot of space, but who could have imagined that I would use it so frequently in the future.

A moment later, Aoao had changed from a black wolfhound into a "sheep" covered with white foam, and it kept looking pitifully at Tutu not far away.

Tutu looked away lightly, and it was obvious that he was disgusted with his stupid brother.

Washing a large dog is hard work. It took at least half an hour to finish washing Aoao. He slapped Aoao on the butt and said with a smile: "Go get some sun by yourself."

Aoao ran out immediately as if he had received pardon. At this time, Tutu was still in the yard and had not taken a bath. Tutu was not afraid of taking a bath at all. Instead, he raised his head and walked towards Gu Tongwan with a light gait.

Gu Tongwan held back his laughter and this time he rinsed much faster, cleaning Tutu in less than half an hour.

After washing, the two dogs' fur looked brand new. Not only was it fluffy, it even sparkled in the sun.

After washing the two dogs, Gu Tongwan changed the leashes for them. After all, it would be too conspicuous to bring two dogs around the base, so they still had to be leashed on weekdays. At least this would result in fewer complaints.

However, there were more people raising mutant pets in the dungeon than she had imagined. There was even a new mutant pet shop opened diagonally opposite the guesthouse. Since yesterday evening, many pets had been brought in one after another, including some high-level mutant pets. This immediately attracted people from the entire street to come over to watch the fun.
