Chapter 24: A Good Time to Make a Profit
The snow room was empty, only a thin quilt, and the cotton wool in the quilt had been slightly exposed, and it was not warm at all at a glance.
Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the situation in the house, Liu Mucai clasped his hands nervously, for fear that Jiang Sheng would do something to their mother and son.
"Why did you ask him to give me back the food?"
Liu Mucai shrank a little and hugged Wu Qingrui in his arms, and said cautiously: "The child's father is a policeman, and he was bitten to death by zombies in order to save our mother, I can't let his son become a thief." ”
Jiang Sheng looked at the boy's hands that were cracked and bleeding from the cold, and he was still shivering with cold when he was held in his mother's arms.
She looked at the scarred mother and son in front of her who were suppressed by the environment, and always felt that this snow had been falling for too long.
Jiang Sheng put the instant noodles in his hand into the space, turned around and walked out of the hut without looking back.
Su Cheng stood outside and waited obediently, and when he saw Jiang Sheng coming out of the house, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Why did you come out in such a short time, I thought you had to stay in there for a while."
Jiang Sheng took out a roasted sweet potato from his pocket, broke half of it and stuffed it into Su Cheng's hand, and the two nibbled on the sweet potato and slowly walked out of the fourth district.
Su Cheng proposed to go outside the base to see the progress of Su Shen and Su Shaolun's work, Jiang Sheng happened to be fine, so naturally he would not object.
The snow was very heavy, and the snowflakes that fell one after another blurred people's vision, and the two of them shuttled back and forth in the snow curtain wearing snow boots.
Due to the heavy snowfall, no one went out at the base, and no new survivors came to take refuge, and the guards at the gate were lazily leaning against the wall, covered in snowflakes.
The two showed their documents from the west gate, and seeing that both of them were superpowers, the guards did not stop them, and directly let the two out.
Outside the base, it was still white, and if you walked about 500 meters, you could see many strangers clearing the snow.
Su Shen was wearing a black down jacket and holding a shovel in his hand, shoveling snow on the cart next to him.
Su Cheng hurriedly greeted him and handed the roasted sweet potato in his hand to Su Shen's mouth.
"Where's our dad? You eat some sweet potatoes first and rest for a while, and I'll do it for you. ”
Su Shen didn't refuse, handed the gloves and shovel to Su Cheng's hands, and nibbled on the sweet potato beside him.
"I thought that hoarding food for two months would be enough to eat, but now that the snow has not melted, several of them have gone to the conference room to find a way."
"What's the solution? We can't get in touch with the outside world, the heavy snow is closing the road, so we will rely on the sky to eat, and it would be nice if the snow could stop sooner. ”
Jiang Sheng finished eating half of the sweet potatoes, took out a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts, took out a small bench and sat down to concentrate on peeling the shells.
Su Shen looked at the progress of the work aimlessly, but suddenly found that Jiang Sheng had also followed, a small group nestled under an umbrella, looking petite and pitiful.
Su Shen walked over and patted the umbrella that Jiang Sheng was holding, and the snow on the umbrella was shaken off.
Jiang Sheng saw that Su Shen was coming, and his head and shoulders were covered with snowflakes, so he put away his umbrella, took out a large awning at the four corners, and handed Su Shen a small bench.
The two sat under the shed, and Su Shen racked his brains and couldn't think of what to say.
Jiang Sheng handed the sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand to Su Shen, who grabbed a handful and began to peel them seriously.
Jiang Sheng sighed slightly: "When is this snow a head, how long has it been falling." ”
Su Shen's hand kept moving, and he spoke: "I don't know, the weather is cloudy and sunny after the end of the world, and I don't know how long the heavy snow will last." ”
"How much food is left at the base? Can it hold on? ”
"The base commander has a reserve of supplies, and now the labor remuneration of ordinary survivors is taken out of the warehouse, and we don't know exactly how much is left.
However, the food in the hands of our ability team can last for about 20 days at most, and there is really no way to stop the snow. ”
Jiang Sheng stuffed the peeled chestnuts into his mouth, in this case, if the snow did not stop, the entire base would probably starve to death.
Su Shen stuffed the chestnuts that had been peeled off in his hand into Jiang Sheng's hand, got up and went to clear the snow.
A few round chestnuts in Jiang Sheng's palm were still slightly hot, she looked at Su Shen's tall back, grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth.
Su Cheng had Su Shen's successor, so he took off his gloves and went home with Jiang Sheng, and most of the people around him were running away in a hurry, and the whole base was lifeless.
When the two returned home, Su Shaolun was sitting on the sofa with a sad brow, and a pair of mud stained boots were piled up in front of the door.
Su Shaolun raised his eyes when he heard this, and when he saw Su Cheng and Jiang Sheng coming back, he reluctantly said hello.
Jiang Sheng sat in front of Su Shaolun: "I heard Su Shen say that you just went to a meeting, look at your appearance, the situation at the base is not good?" ”
Su Shaolun sighed, rubbed his temples, and the whole person was dull.
"There is too much snow, there is no way to go out to find supplies, the base can only rely on surplus grain to operate, and it is not a long-term solution to sit and eat."
"I heard Su Shen say that there are reserve materials in the base, so how long can these reserve materials last?"
"It can only last for a month at most, and you have to save money to persevere."
Jiang Sheng turned his head to look out the window, it was white, white and flawless, as if there was only this color left in the world.
"What do those meteorologists say?"
"I don't have to say, the weather is unpredictable after the end of the world, and the equipment is not perfect, so it is difficult to accurately predict the weather."
Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment, comforted Su Shaolun softly, and then turned around and went to the third floor.
This time the heavy snow closed the city, and her base should have a chance to upgrade.
A lot of seeds have been unlocked in her space shop, and there will definitely be no shortage of crystal nuclei in the base, as long as they let them exchange crystal nuclei for food with themselves, then she will definitely make a steady profit.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Sheng entered the space with his mind, leaving his body in place, as if he was asleep.
Last time, Sun Fangyuan gave Jiang Sheng 58 first-order crystal nuclei, and Su Shen gave 50 first-level crystal nuclei plus a second-level crystal nucleus.
Together with the original 1,560 gold coins, a total of 119,560 gold coins can be exchanged.
The space is currently level 2, and the farm unlocks cabbage (150), soybeans (200), potatoes (200), wheat (220), rice (220), corn (220).
The ranch unlocks Chicks (1000) and Ducklings (1000).
Recently, life in the base has been quite good, and Jiang Sheng has not paid too much attention to the space planting.
This time, it is obvious that you can take advantage of the heavy snow to make a profit, so it is naturally worth the effort.
The crops in the space can be harvested automatically, and only the fruit is left in the warehouse when it is received.
Wheat and rice, on the other hand, need to be paid a certain amount of space before they can be turned into flour and rice.
The quality of the various crops produced by the space is not to be said, and the taste is much stronger than the food before the end of the world.
Jiang Sheng spent all the gold coins in the space, and the harvest was also very impressive.
She then turned her attention to the trading floor, where she needed to study the prices on the trading floor.
Retreating from the space, I looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
Mo Siyuan had caught a cold recently, took the cold medicine given by Jiang Sheng, and lay on the bed groggily.
Jiang Sheng propped up a small table and put it in front of Mo Siyuan, put the food on it, and watched Mo Siyuan eat it one bite at a time.
"I'm so uncomfortable, I can't breathe."
Mo Siyuan's nasal voice was very strong, and his eyes were dry and he couldn't open them.
Jiang Sheng wrapped his arms around her waist comfortingly: "Relax, lie on the bed after eating and sleep well." ”
After Mo Siyuan finished eating and fell asleep, Jiang Shengcai and Su Cheng hastily ate something, and the two walked towards the trading hall.
