Chapter 125 124. Shen Xing
With Zhou Qian's words, Huaiyu felt relieved.

At this moment, he took out his small notebook and thought carefully about what he wanted to buy. Seeing that the time was almost up, he went out to meet Uncle Zaozi at the entrance of Hongsheng Trading Market.

Uncle Zaozi arrived on time at 9:00. After a night of fermentation, his face, which was swollen and purple yesterday, became even more swollen, and the bruises spread. The color looked even more horrible than yesterday, like a bottle of soy sauce had been overturned.

One of his eyes was squinting and couldn't be opened no matter how hard he tried.

Huaiyu would have laughed out loud if she had looked at him for a few more seconds, but luckily she only glanced once and quickly turned her head away, so as not to hurt Uncle Zaozi's poor heart.

But she didn't come to embarrass others, but others wanted to embarrass her:
"Oh, I ate so much at this meal...Xiaoyu, have you had breakfast? You said that. I was so touched when I saw you standing in front of me yesterday! I was planning to invite you to my house for dinner."

"My wife is the best wife in the world! The buns she makes are so delicious! Look at you..."

As he spoke, he sighed: "If you hadn't said later that we weren't familiar with each other, wouldn't I have invited you?"

"By the way, what did you have for breakfast?"

Huaiyu pursed her lips and smiled:
"I was a bit pressed for time in the morning, so I just ate something casually. Fried rice with bamboo shoots and pork lard, with stir-fried bean sprouts... It was just so-so, probably not as delicious as the steamed buns."

Fortunately, Uncle Zaozi’s face is colorful now, otherwise Huaiyu would see his blue and red face again.

Because the buns in the morning were filled with wild vegetables and only a little lard was added, a mutation value of eleven was already considered a luxurious breakfast.

But after listening to what Huaiyu said, and thinking about the taste of the bamboo shoots she had taken before... they must be better than those with a mutation value of 11, right?
Uncle Zaozi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

Huaiyu asked curiously, "Uncle Zaozi, should we go to the highway intersection first, or to Sister Xingxing's place first?"

Sister Xingxing, your voice is so sweet!
"Then naturally we'll go to Chen Xing first."

Uncle Zaozi said unhappily, "The highway exit is there, and you won't run away, so you can go any day. But Chen Xing is often out, and it's rare for her to come back. You two are destined to be together, so you'd be missing out if you don't take the opportunity to buy more things from her."

"By the way, what do you want to buy?"

Uncle Zaozi thought that the explorers had all kinds of good things in their hands, of all qualities. If Huaiyu knew how to choose, he might be able to buy some good stuff.

As they were talking, the two of them had already boarded the bus to Baishao Road. Huaiyu took out the small notebook from his bag after sitting down:

"I want to buy a big water jar, a pickle jar, and a few more kimchi jars... I wonder if there are any big rice jars for sale..."

It’s not that she can’t buy a better water tank in the market, but the weather is getting hot, and the water in the water tank will easily breed bacteria, so she has to use an old-fashioned large ceramic tank.

It stores water, is antibacterial and refreshing.

As for the big rice jar...Actually, buying another water jar has the same function, just to find a way to put Kataro's ball in.

It really works so hard that it can collect a small basin of water a day. Huai Yu doesn't know how to store it, so he thinks of the universal method of "cool and dry". But that also requires another water tank.

There are also kimchi jars.

Summer is here and nothing can be kept for long. It has to be either dried or pickled.

She flipped through the book again and again, and every page was filled with "gang gang gang". This made Uncle Zaozi burst into laughter, and then he gave Huaiyu a thumbs up:

"Okay, okay! Let's buy this, let's buy this!"...

The bus swayed for more than half an hour before arriving at Baishao Road. Huaiyu was not familiar with the city at all, so he could only follow Uncle Zaozi and grope his way around. Only then did he see the shabby residential area.

Pearl of the blue sea.

Building A05 is the shopping mall in the community. The whole row is filled with empty shops. Building A05 stands in the middle, with a few big words written in red paint on the door:

【Galaxy Exploration and Collection Company】

In general, it fits the current style of devastation and a lot of work to be done.

When they entered the room, Chen Xing was leaning back in his computer chair, his long legs resting on the table, playing a video game console in both hands.

When he heard someone coming, he only raised his eyelids slightly and quickly regained his composure: "Wait a moment, wait a moment, I'll finish this game."

Huaiyu looked around the huge vacant shop - there were only three or five people inside, some sitting on lazy sofas or lying on recliners, some holding books, some holding e-readers, some holding game consoles, and some were snoring.

As for this so-called company, there is basically nothing to sell except sofas, chairs and tables.

The word "perfunctory" is evident from the inside out.

Uncle Zaozi knew that Huaiyu had little experience, so he took her for a stroll at the door and explained:

"A well-known expedition team like theirs has good stuff, and once they pass the highway security checkpoint, it will be distributed among the customers who have made reservations."

"Some odds and ends may be sold to a familiar merchant, Mr. Tang from Huaxia Gold. He often collects good stuff from various expedition teams. He is generous with money and is a straightforward person. Many teams are willing to leave their good stuff to him."

Huaiyu turned around, his eyes fixed on the game console in Chen Xing's hand.

She had also seen this red and blue game console in Boss Tang’s hands. Since everyone liked it so much, it must be very interesting, right?

But I was short of money at that time and I really didn’t dare to think about it.

But now that I'm here, I don't dare to buy anything, but I can ask, right? So I asked curiously:
"If there is no electricity, this thing will be useless if I buy it, right?"

Uncle Zaozi was not surprised: "If there is no electricity, just buy a generator! A diesel generator can be bought for 5000 points. You will have to buy diesel frequently in the future, but it will be much more convenient to use electricity in daily life."

As he was talking, Chen Xing seemed to have finished the game. He put the game console on the table and said to Huai Yu:
"If you don't need it urgently, there's no need to rush to buy generators. I heard that the higher-ups are planning to restart infrastructure construction once everyone's lives are back on track."

"The first thing is to build roads - it should be quick. Our previous roads were not bad, but they have become a bit shabby in recent years. The second thing is water and electricity."

"There are few households with electricity in the city nowadays. Even if they do, the electricity price is ridiculously high and no one wants to use it. The machines in many factories have survived natural disasters for a few years, but they can't be turned on now. It will definitely be affected over time... You should wait a little longer."

Huaiyu became distressed.

Because she didn't know whether the road construction and water and electricity laying could be built to the Rose Corridor.

It was like what she wanted to buy were all very common things, but because there was no one to deliver them, she could only pin her hopes on Chen Xing who had a car.

Here comes the update.
