Chapter 42: summer 1

Views:

This day, as soon as Shi Jianshan sat down, a player rushed over and roared, "Store, do you have a bamboo umbrella? I want to buy it!!"

Shi Jianshan placed the bamboo umbrella and said indifferently, "Yes, 50 copper coins each."

Hearing this, the player was stunned and burst into tears, "Alright, how about 30 copper coins for a sunny day and 50 copper coins for a rainy day?"

Shi Jian Shan Xinkou said nonsense, "This is a sunshade, 50 copper coins a piece on a sunny day."

Players are speechless.

"If you want it, you'd better buy it quickly." Shi Jianshan suddenly reminded, "This is the last ten, and it will be gone when sold out."

"What?" The player was shocked, "The business is so good, why don't you continue to do it!"

Shi Jianshan helplessly spread his hands, "The raw materials are gone."

Without tung oil and lint paper, we can't make an umbrella surface, nor can a bamboo umbrella.

Player, "… "

He was stunned on the spot, silent for a while.

"Yo, someone is here again." When Shi Jianshan caught a glimpse of someone running here in the distance, he immediately smiled, "Hurry up if you want, today is the last time to set up a stall to sell bamboo umbrellas."

Player, "!!!"

"I want to buy two!" He paid for it without hesitation, and bought two bamboo umbrellas, for fear that others would rob him.

**

Bamboo umbrellas sold out quickly.

Shi Jianshan got up and walked back slowly. Walking to a wooden house, he stopped and knocked on the door.

"Player 'Shijianshan' asked to enter the house, is it allowed?"

Liang Hui was stunned when he received the system prompt, and clicked "Yes".

Pushing the door to enter, Shi Jianshan found a place to sit down and went straight to the topic, "The business of the bamboo umbrella is finished, let's share the money."

He was the one who came up with the idea, he was the one who hoarded the lint paper, and the business was made possible thanks to him.

But it is undeniable that without Liang Hui's help, he would not be able to do it alone.

"No need." Liang Hui waved his hands again and again, "You helped me buy a formal resident qualification and gave me a suite, which is enough."

He was just helping out, and being as capable as anyone else.

Shi Jianshan reminded, "You always have to save some money for self-defense."

Liang Hui made a move.

"Then... 100 copper coins?" he said tentatively.

There is no need to pay overnight fees every day, 100 copper coins are enough for him to do nothing and live comfortably for half a month.

In the end, Shi Jianshan gave 200 copper coins, "On the way to Lingyun Village, if you hadn't pulled a hand, I might have fallen into the lake and drowned. I always remember this favor, and I hope you can live well in the future. it is good."

After saying that, he left the room.

Liang Hui stared at the 200 copper coins in a daze.

At that time, I saw that the mountain was unstable, so I subconsciously gave it a hand. He swore that it was really just a matter of convenience, but he never thought that the other party would always keep it in his heart...

"No matter what, I finally escaped from Sunset Village. Now that I have a house and savings, I am much stronger than the average player." Liang Hui rubbed his face and cheered up, "The old and the weak can survive, I am a big man. A man with hands and feet will never starve to death!"

Back in his room, Shi Jianshan began to count.

Formal residency status.

Chalet*1.

Copper coins*460.

Bamboo umbrella*3.

White bamboo art drawings*3.

tool*n.

Some simple furniture.

That's all he has.

"If you stay in Sunset Village, even if you make a bamboo umbrella, the team will buy it at a low price. Even if you make money, you will be robbed when you leave the territory."

"What if you have the ability and ideas? Without a relatively good environment, money is a reminder."

At the end, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "It's really the right time to come to Lingyun Town."

[The tailor sold the hat*1, congratulations on getting 100 copper coins. 】

[The tailor sold the hat*1, congratulations on getting 100 copper coins. 】

I thought that the rainy season was over, and the bamboo hat was no longer easy to sell. Who knows that when summer comes, how many hats and bamboo umbrellas will be sold, and the sales are very good.

It just so happened that the raw materials for the bamboo umbrella were exhausted and could no longer be made. Players rushed to buy bamboo hats, fearing that they would not be able to buy them too late.

With sun protection equipment, the hunting team is no longer afraid of heat stroke when going out. With their level-up and well-equipped equipment, they go farther and farther when they go out on expeditions.

The regional resource points far from the territory are densely distributed, and no one is collecting them. The team that took the lead in boldly developing outwards, one by one, made a lot of money.

As the first team to expand outwards, Yunling hoarded a lot of game materials. However, standing in the warehouse at this moment, she tightened her brows, and there was no sign of joy on her face.

"Strange." She was very puzzled. "Why is the shelf life of food shortened?"

The rice and flour transported from the supermarket originally had a shelf life of up to 720 days. And now, silently, it has become 660 days.

"At this speed, it won't be long before the food can't be eaten." Yun Ling pressed his forehead, feeling quite a headache.

Out of the corner of my eye, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the game materials, and my eyes suddenly froze - the time flow of the game materials seems to be normal

"How come the deterioration of rice and flour is accelerated in 20 days and 20 days, and the shelf life of sweet potatoes, potatoes and lotus roots is shortened day by day? During the rainy season, the shelf life of food has not been shortened!"

As soon as the words came out, Yun Ling was slightly startled, and a vague thought appeared in his mind.

"Shouldn't it be… "

She looked at the warehouse full of supplies without saying a word, determined to do an experiment.

After careful selection, Yunling found supermarket rice and flour with a remaining shelf life of 660 days, corn flour with a remaining shelf life of 360 days, and lotus root with a remaining shelf life of 180 days.

She took these materials out and put them in a corner to observe them alone.

"I hope the guess is wrong." Yun Ling whispered to himself.

**

It's almost dusk.

At the end of a hard day's work, the residents got together and chatted while eating.

"The doomsday natural disaster game is not as difficult as I imagined." A man was full of energy and vowed, "The rainy season in spring is difficult. Without rain gear, I am locked in the territory all day, and cannot go out for a step."

"But as long as there is food at home, it will be easy to survive those few days. Hunting and digging for wild vegetables will always be able to fill the stomach."

"In summer, hats and bamboo umbrellas can be used. Everyone will not be trapped in the territory because the sun is too strong and the sun is too poisonous."

"As long as you can go out, as long as you can work, are you afraid you won't be able to eat?"

A young man shook his head as he listened, "It's a good day, that's because you live in Lingyun Town! How many days do you try to live in other territories?"

"There is a lack of materials outside, and there are no bamboo umbrellas for sale at all. Even the mink clothes and hats are not high in production. Even if someone sells rain gear, the price will scare you to death!"

"It rained continuously, and ordinary players were trapped in the territory. They had to eat and store food every day. What should I do if I ran out of food? I could only bite the bullet and go out to find food."

"It's raining, if you're lucky, you're only in a negative state, and you'll be fine. If you're unlucky, you get sick and need to rest for three days."

"I heard that during the rainy season, few people died in Lingyun Town. But outside, go out and find out how many people died!"

The residents were horrified and moved.

The man who started to speak was dubious, "Really?"

"Why are you lying to me?" the young man said angrily, "Every day there are people who can't stand it. It's because I saw too many people who died, so I packed up my luggage and quickly escaped."

Continue to stay, he always feels that it will be his turn next.

The depressing atmosphere almost drove people crazy.

"It's okay, our Lingyun Town system is reliable, there are many elite players, and such a thing will not happen!" The man comforted the young man, "Having an umbrella and a hat, we can go out every day, and the summer will pass in a blink of an eye."

"You can't say that." The young man said cautiously, "As long as the game thinks, it has a thousand ways to kill players. It is not a good thing to be overly optimistic."

"What is overly optimistic?" The man was annoyed. "I think you were bitten by a snake once, and you have been afraid of the rope for ten years! You have a good life, and you worry about some things all day long!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the residents next to them quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.

"Without far-sightedness, there must be near-term worries." The young man secretly said in his heart.

**

Early the next morning, Yunling went to the warehouse to check.

I saw that the supermarket rice and supermarket flour with a remaining shelf life of 660 days became the shelf life of 640 days.

The game material corn meal with the remaining 360 days of shelf life becomes the shelf life of 359 days.

The lotus root with the remaining 180 days of shelf life becomes the shelf life of 179 days.

Seeing this, Yun Ling's heart suddenly sank, "The guess is right. In a high temperature environment, the non-game ingredients quickly rot, and the game ingredients are not affected."

According to the expiration speed of one day to twenty days, how long can supermarket rice and supermarket flour last? Up to 32 days!

Glancing at the warehouse, Yun Ling said with joy, "Fortunately, I like to stock up on game materials."

Every day, he has to provide food for NPCs, and he has to sell multi-grain steamed buns and white porridge in restaurants, and part of the food has been consumed. It shouldn't be a problem to eat the rest before it expires.

**

On the way home, Lu Chuan suddenly appeared and said, "The situation is not quite right."

Yun Ling didn't react for a while, "What's wrong?"

"The food has deteriorated too fast." Lu Chuan's face was solemn. "The biscuits originally had a two-month shelf life. They opened it yesterday and found that there were mildew spots."

"After the soy sauce is opened, it has a shelf life of about three months. I just opened it and smelled it, and the smell has changed."

In the end, he concluded, "Game material is unaffected, non-game material is rapidly decaying."

"I found it too." Yun Ling sighed, "The shelf life of supermarket rice and supermarket flour is falling down, and after a while, you will definitely not be able to eat it."

Lu Chuan was surprised, "Can you see the shelf life of non-game ingredients?"

"Yes." Yun Ling nodded, "Game day +1, food shelf life -20."

"I can't see the shelf life of biscuits and soy sauce. I can only judge from the taste and mildew." Lu Chuan said.

"Maybe it's because it's stored in the warehouse?" Yun Ling guessed, "I couldn't see it when it was being transported in the supermarket."

Lu Chuan was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he said, "I didn't expect that being a lord would have so many privileges."

Yun Ling laughed, "After all, it is a legendary item comparable to orange equipment."

**

"My cured meat!!" In the wooden house, You Qingwen let out a heart-wrenching cry.

At the end of spring, she pondered the heat of summer and that some food would not last long. It is better to smear refined salt and make pickled products.

It just so happened that they swept the supermarket and found a lot of salt from it. You Qingwen immediately rubbed the meat with salt, marinated it for 2-3 days, and then hung it in a cool place to air dry.

It stands to reason that her idea is not wrong. Unexpectedly, I got up this morning to check and found that there was actually hair growing on the meat! !

Seeing that the meat can't be eaten, You Qingwen is angry and annoyed, "I knew I wouldn't make cured meat."

Zheng Mingyue carefully inspected the cured meat, then opened a bag of salt and tasted it, frowning deeply, "It's not the meat, it seems that the salt has deteriorated."

"What?" You Qingwen was stunned. "How can salt go bad? This is a mineral."

"It's true." Zheng Mingyue handed out the refined salt, "You taste it, it has a bitter taste, and an indescribable strange taste, it doesn't look like normal refined salt."

You Qingwen stretched out her index finger and tasted it with some salt. As soon as he entered, he immediately showed a disgusted expression, "It's unpalatable."

"I've seen it, two pieces of cured meat are good, and the rest are broken." Zheng Mingyue analyzed carefully, "The same is true of cured meat, why are some of them successful and some of them failed?"

You Qingwen was speechless for a while, "Can't it be because this is a game, so pickling also has a success rate?"

Zheng Mingyue did not deny this possibility, "It's not good."

You Qingwen felt a little powerless in her heart, "The meat that I managed to save is completely ruined!"

At this moment, she didn't want to get to the bottom of what was the reason, she just wanted to cry.

Zheng Mingyue looked at the intact cured meat and fell into contemplation. After a while, he said coldly, "This meat doesn't seem to be cured with refined salt from the supermarket."

You Qingwen was annoyed, "Apart from supermarket salt, where is there any other salt?"

Zheng Mingyue reminded, "You forgot? The restaurant sells salt. You said you were curious about the difference between the restaurant and the supermarket, so you paid for one."

"After I tasted it, I found that it was all salt, and there was no difference in taste, so I didn't care anymore."

"When you cured meat, you said to use the salt you bought in the restaurant first, and then use the supermarket salt. Do you remember?"

After being reminded, You Qingwen finally remembered, "That's what happened. At that time, when the beef was marinated, I even joked that the salt sold in the restaurant would be different from ordinary salt?"

Looking back now, maybe it really had a special effect.

"Salt sold in restaurants? Supermarket refined salt?" Zheng Mingyue felt that he had caught something, but there were layers of gauze in between, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Suddenly, his complexion changed suddenly, he strode towards the locker, and then pulled out all the items.

"What's wrong?" You Qingwen was stunned.

Zheng Mingyue opened the bag of mustard and tasted it, with a very bad expression, "Not only the marinated meat, the mustard is also expired, and the taste is not right."

You Qingwen, "!!!"

She stepped forward, grabbed the mustard, and took a sip. Then she felt a chill, "...It's not right."

Zheng Mingyue stared at the supplies and said slowly, "Open all the stocks and taste them."

"Are you crazy?!" You Qingwen refused.

The weather is already hot, what if the original items are no problem and can't be stored after opening

"The same batch has the same or similar production date. Every time you open one, you will know whether it has expired." Zheng Mingyue said seriously, "We must know how much food we have left to eat."

He was right.

You Qingwen backed away silently.

The two worked together and quickly searched for biscuits, cakes, chocolates, candies, instant noodles, mustard, vermicelli, bibimbap, chili sauce, rice, corn, flour, glutinous rice, etc.

"I guessed right, it really is." Zheng Mingyue's face showed no joy at all.

He pursed his lips and said with a heavy heart, "The game materials are not affected, and the non-game materials are rapidly deteriorating. The food... About 40% cannot be eaten."

You Qingwen's breathing was stagnant, and she felt her heart throbbing.

**

"It's too long! How come the tortillas I just made yesterday turned sour today?"

"My Leek Pie!!"

"You can't eat the freshly baked bread yesterday!"

Exclamations came and went.

In a short time, the news that "non-game materials are easily deteriorated by high temperature" quickly spread in the territory.

In Lingyun Town, there are residents everywhere discussing the food spoilage.

Qiaoqiao carried the bamboo basket on her back and said crisply, "Grandma, I'm back."

Qiaoqiao's grandmother, surnamed "Qian", is building a small shed to dry dried sweet potatoes. Seeing her granddaughter came back, she immediately smiled, "Are you back? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, just walk around the territory, not too far." Qiaoqiao said while unloading the bamboo basket, and took out the shepherd's purse and sweet potato as if offering a treasure, "Look what I dug up!"

Granny Qian cheered her face up, "My family Qiaoqiao is really capable."

The corners of Qiaoqiao's mouth rose wildly, and her brows were full of smiles, "This is a newly created resource point. I quickly dug some while no one was there. When someone found out and rushed over quickly, I ran away without saying a word. ."

"That's how it should be." Granny Qian urged seriously, "You're a girl, underage, don't rob others, and don't do dangerous things."

Qiaoqiao was not convinced, "Grandma, I will be an adult in July this year."

Granny Qian said, "I am also a child when I am an adult."

Qiaoqiao has nothing to say.

"Come and fight for me." Granny Qian greeted.

"Yes." Qiao Qiao replied obediently.

Dried sweet potato, also known as dried sweet potato, is made by steaming and peeling sweet potatoes, then cutting them into strips and drying them naturally.

This thing pays attention to the degree of dryness. After sun exposure, it was hard and chewy. Not enough sun, too much moisture, and it tastes mushy.

Orange in color, sweet in taste, soft and cottony when chewed, this taste is the best.

Qiaoqiao picked up two dried sweet potatoes and looked at them, and then said in a determined tone, "Grandma, it's almost drying."

"It's just you being clever." Granny Qian scolded with a smile, "I was planning to wait until the evening to send Xiaofan and the others over."

Qiaoqiao volunteered, "You have no legs and feet, so let me do it."

"Okay, then please make a run."

Granny Qian responded with a smile, bagged the sweet potatoes dry, then boiled water in a pot, washed the rice, chopped wild vegetables, and planned to make porridge.

After the wild vegetable porridge is cooked, ten tortillas are baked again, and Qiaoqiao is brought over together.

Qiaoqiao mentioned it like a small talk while helping with the work, "Grandma, I heard that some of the grains in the store are moldy and can't be eaten."

"You heard it wrong!" Granny Qian corrected. "The food obtained from the home, supermarket, and store cannot be eaten, and the food dug in the wild will not be affected."

Hearing this, Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine."

In the early days of the game, their grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other, living on the rations they brought when they left home. If it wasn't for the luck to pick up the equipment card and sell it cheaply in the safe area, I'm afraid I would have been kicked out long ago.

After the first and most difficult days, the two heard that woven straw shoes could be sold for money, so one was collecting and the other was weaving, and they got busy separately.

Don't say, straw sandals are really good to sell. Make up a pair and sell a pair without worrying about sales.

Later, there were too many people knitting straw shoes, and the price gradually dropped, and they changed to straw hats and hats.

There are more people in contact, and the residents are familiar with each other. A team came and asked them if they would like to do the cooking.

The content of the work is very simple. The team often encounters resource points on the way to hunt. They plan to gather the ingredients when they see it, and give it to Granny Qian when they return to the camp in the evening. Granny Qian prepared the dry food for the next day's adventure, and provided the next day's dinner.

As a reward, Granny Qian can get 20% of the ingredients and handle it herself.

Granny Qian felt that the materials were difficult to find, and the deal was worth it, so she agreed.

Later, it rained heavily, and the business of bamboo hats, bamboo umbrellas, and scallops was booming. Grandma Qian made a lot of money and even saved enough money to buy a house. Rao is so, she didn't turn down the job of cooking.

Now that the days have passed, and the days have accumulated, a lot of game ingredients have been saved in the residence, all of which are not perishable.

Granny Qian thought about it, "Tomorrow, I will dry the peanuts, make some bacon and ham and save it. The more you eat, the better!"

"Don't forget to make a straw hat." Qiaoqiao reminded, "Brother Xiaofan said that the bamboo hat he wore before is no longer usable. If you don't have a sun hat when you go out in the past two days, the sun will make you feel stuffy, hot and uncomfortable. Incredible."

She can help with simple handmade products like straw sandals, and she can't help with complex ones like straw hats.

"Don't forget!"

Granny Qian thought to herself that those children would not take more care of them because of their grandparents and grandchildren. No matter how busy she is and how bad her memory is, she will never forget what the other party explained.

**

Xiaofan's real name is Zhang Fan.

In the evening, I returned to Lingyun Town, and before I could go back to the house, I saw the residents with sad faces and discussions.

"Non-game materials are perishable? Can't eat a lot of stored food?"

Hearing this, he couldn't come back to God for a long time.

On the other hand, the eyes of the assassins in the team showed a hint of understanding, "I exchanged a piece of rice cake with someone before. I ate half of it on the first day, and I wanted to save the remaining half for breakfast the next day. I didn't expect to get up in the morning, rice cake. The cake is moldy. I thought it was because I didn't keep it properly, but I didn't expect it to be a problem with the material."

The pastor was worried, "I didn't have much food at first, and now it's moldy and spoiled, how will I live in the future!"

The assassin glanced at the man, "What's the hurry? We are foreigners, and we didn't bring much food with us when we fled to Lingyun Town. The only ones left will be eaten up in the rainy season."

"What's stored in the house is either the items dropped by monsters, or the ingredients dug up in the wild."

"These are all game materials, and the shelf life is long!"

Priest,"… "

Almost forgot, they had no food left to worry about.

"Let's pickle meat." After thinking about it, the pastor suggested, "In general, pickled products have the longest shelf life."

"Then it has to be marinated with the salt in the game?" the assassin guessed, "I suspect that non-game materials, whether food or seasoning, will become unusable."

The priest thought hard, "Where is the game item 'salt'..."

"Restaurant." Zhang Fan pointed to the system building, "Everyone trotted over there, probably to buy salt."

The pastor was surprised, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and buy it!"

There was no objection from the team members.

Everyone hurried to the restaurant.

Entering the hall, I saw residents flocking to the shelves, rushing to buy.

The assassin murmured, "That's crazy..."

The pastor can understand, "It's not because I'm afraid that the food I finally saved will rot and deteriorate."

As they spoke, they joined the rush to buy, trying to move to the shelves.

【Name: salt】

Quality: ordinary

Use effect: seasoning, edible, can make food salty.

Price: 10 copper coins.

Note: The production is limited, and each person is limited to 1 serving per day.

The salt is wrapped in paper and folded into a small square with a slight bulge in the middle, about the size of a coin.

The resident sighed, "With such a little salt, 10 copper coins are actually sold."

While squeezing forward desperately, I was afraid that I would not be able to buy it if it was late.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Fan escaped smoothly, with lingering fears in his heart, "One person can only buy a pack of salt, what are you robbing?"

I didn't know that I thought I could buy ten packs in one go.

"Anyone else? Didn't you rush up to grab the salt?" The assassin complained.

"Isn't it because they panicked and tried their best to scramble, and even got nervous with me?" Zhang Fan said.

The pastor looked at the small packet of salt, wondering whether to laugh or cry, "What is enough salt for?"

"Be content, something is better than nothing." The assassin turned to look back.

Twenty minutes have passed, and the number of residents who are robbing salt has not decreased, but has a faint trend of increasing. It is estimated that someone came back late and got the news later, so it was a step slower.

"I suspect that 10 packets of this kind of salt should be used to pickle a salted goose."

The assassin suddenly said, "It's too hard to live."

Who said it wasn't

The team members have a heart and a sad face.

On the way home, Zhang Fan and others met by chance.

"Are you back? I was just about to bring you dinner." Qiaoqiao greeted warmly.

"I came back a long time ago, and I just went to the restaurant." Zhang Fan's face was solemn, and he repeatedly reminded Qiaoqiao that he must remember to stock up on food and salt.

Qiaoqiao blinked, puzzled, "You need salt, can't you just make it yourself? Why go to a restaurant to snatch it from others?"

Zhang Fan and others, "?!!"

Facing the dull and puzzled eyes of everyone, Qiaoqiao said earnestly, "Salt production is very simple, I learned it in chemistry class. If you need it, I will make some for you next time."

"I almost forgot, she's an all-around senior high school student." The assassin mumbled, his voice inaudible.

Senior high school students, they know the operation principle of celestial bodies, and the organic and inorganic reactions.

Zhang Fan was in a mixed mood, "Then please."

"Brother Xiaofan, you're too polite!" Qiaoqiao smiled brightly, "Thanks to you always taking care of your grandmother's business, the lives of our grandparents and grandchildren will slowly get better."

It is rainy in the spring, and the rain gear is scrambled by players. Because they knew Granny Qian, they didn't have to bid or wait in line, and each had a bucket hat.

Entering summer, the sun is burning like fire, and the business of sunshade equipment is booming. Because I know my mother-in-law Qian, I just need to say a word about the lack of a sun hat, and I can quickly buy it at a low price.

Now, players are generally short of salt, but Qiaoqiao said she would do it.

Who is taking care of whom

Zhang Fan thought to himself that he was clearly being taken care of by two plug-ins.
