Chapter 229: The Mission Team that Squeezed into the Mountain Leopard Team (3)

Ye Nai put out the things that had been put away earlier, and placed the sleeping quarters next to the military camp.

On the right side of the board house is the staircase leading up and down the stairs. The apricot-colored awning is still placed next to the stairs. On the left side is a large open space, where she first placed a women's bathroom. In front of the women's bathroom is a set of long stainless steel washbasins. To the right of that is the laundry, and to the right of that is the men's bathroom and another set of long stainless steel washbasins.

The bathroom and laundry are arranged in a symmetrical shape.

All the idle male and female soldiers in the barracks came over, and after obtaining Yenna's consent, they searched the bathroom and laundry inside and out.

Ye Na turned off the power of the laundry shop in time, and the vending machine was put into use. No one touched the wine and all the cigarettes were gone. When she took out boxes of cigarettes of various brands to restock, people surrounded her and bought a lot of them by the carton.

When Captain Li Ping came over after hearing the news, he saw his second-in-command Xu Tong also coming out of a bathroom after visiting it.

"Captain Li." Xu Tong smiled and waved his hand, pointing to the men's bathroom opposite. "Would you like to take a shower? There's hot water. 20 yuan for half an hour."

Li Ping raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

"20 bucks for a hot shower? For charity?"

"Tsk, you really don't know how to talk. The little girl is new here and doesn't know the local prices. Just think of her as a trial run and then tell her to raise the prices."

Liping licked his lips, walked to the nearest sink, and touched the countertop.

"Brand new?"

"Yes, it's brand new. The girl and the boy asked for us. We bought everything here. After we bought it, we wanted to come to the secret realm to take a look. But we were stopped by the agent and deceived. The girl had never experienced it before, so she signed and came in just for the novelty. If the team she followed hadn't failed to perform well and had a car accident, we wouldn't have been able to use these configurations first."

“How’s the bathroom?”

"Don't worry, it's very spacious, with separate wet and dry areas. You can stretch out in it. The big guys in the team have already demonstrated it for you."

"Ah? Are they all here? Have you finished what you were doing?"

Deputy Captain Xu Tong raised his eyebrows, not quite sure, "Maybe he's done with his work?"

Li Ping did not delve into the matter of his men deserting their duty while working in the camp. He looked at the even busier laundry and raised his chin.

"What do you do in the laundry?"

"There's a vending machine inside, and people are lining up to buy cigarettes."

"……Um?"

"You must not have looked closely at her list of licenses. Her most recent license is a tobacco license."

Li Ping found it funny and a little unbelievable, "They are so well prepared."

"Haha, everyone says so." "No wonder she said that if she joins, she won't suffer any loss." Li Ping smiled a little, "If the Dongling Secret Realm was still there, such treasures would never be released."

"So, she got a car like that, which means she can be taken care of wherever she goes. Besides, she is quite capable and her training results are pretty good. I don't think it's a big deal to give her a little care."

Li Ping nodded in agreement, "As long as he is not an unlearned person."

Xu Tong also agrees with this point. It can be said that this is the consensus of all front-line teams. In a team that risks their lives every day, the most annoying thing is to have a young master or young lady parachuted in to need protection.

The two chatted for a while and then went about their own business. Xu Tong instructed his men to wait until the kitchen staff had prepared the meal and ask Ye Na to go eat with them, and not to let her cook by herself.

Ye Na finished her cigarette business in the laundry, restocked the vending machine, and hurried out to fill the bathroom with fuel to boil water.

Her double-drum boiler has a total capacity of one ton, which means each drum is 500 liters. One drum of hot water can provide half an hour of hot water for twenty or thirty people to take a bath.

The entire Mountain Leopard Team has about a hundred people, and the gender split is half and half, with female team members accounting for about 40%. In this way, the two bathrooms only need to boil water once, which is enough for everyone to take a shower, and the hot water boiled by the boiler can be saved for next use.

It takes a little longer for a new stove to boil water for the first time. Ye Nai took out a stool and sat in the middle. He took out his handheld game console and played games while waiting, monitoring whether the boiler was working properly at any time.

The two stainless steel washbasins were already being used by someone. Ten yuan for half an hour of cold water was fine, and enough for washing face, hands and other small items. In addition, more than one person told Ye Nai that her prices for bathing and laundry were too low, completely underestimating the demand for hot baths and laundry drying in a secret environment. Wuqiao City was a wealthy city, so she only set the price higher and used price to screen her customers. If the price was higher, her things would break less frequently.

Ye Nai said that she had learned a lesson and had not expected such a situation to happen. This time she would just treat it as a trial operation and tell her anytime if there were any deficiencies. She would change the price again and double it after the sale.

Just as they were chattering, the quartermaster who was in charge of the team's money came and helped Ye Na determine the operating price.

Bathing costs 50 yuan/half hour, laundry costs 40 yuan/time, drying clothes costs 60 yuan/time, and wash basin costs 10 yuan/quarter hour.

The most expensive reason for drying clothes is that it takes the longest time and consumes a lot of electricity, which comes from nuclear batteries, which are the most expensive item. Ten commercial washing and drying sets are not as expensive as one commercial nuclear battery. The price of drying clothes is too low, so how long will it take to earn back the cost of the batteries?

There is no need to worry about a lack of business in the dryer business. When the weather is bad or in winter, there will be long queues in front of her dryers, and the few dryers she has are not enough. If she wants to do good business, she has to add a few more washing and drying sets to fill up the empty space in the store.

Also, the price of showering in her bathroom can be set at two prices, winter and summer. Now the weather hasn't cooled down much, so 50 is 50. Then double it in winter.

It will snow in the Wuqiao Secret Realm. The weather is cold, and the hot water in the boiler cools down quickly, which consumes fuel. The charge is 100 yuan for half an hour, and they put some toiletries of the same type as those in five-star hotels in the bathroom as small gifts. Team members with some strength are not short of money, and they will feel that they have got a great deal by enjoying a bath and washing and drying clothes for less than yuan, and they will queue up to take a bath.

Her vending machines double the price of cigarettes and alcohol, but don't be afraid. This is her only business in the secret realm. If others want to learn from her, they must first have a space as big as hers.

Moreover, raising the price of cigarettes is also to prevent their soldiers from smoking too much. Not drinking alcohol during the mission is an iron rule, but they will turn a blind eye to smoking. However, smoking too much is not good either. How can they hunt with the smell of smoke all over their bodies? The sense of smell of alien beasts is a hundred times stronger than that of native animals on Blue Star.

Ye Nai listened to the advice and said that she would change all the prices when she got out.

Just as they finished chatting, someone came to call them to have dinner and brought Ye Na along.

After the boiler has heated up the water, it will automatically switch to keeping warm. Ye Nai was watching over it because she was worried that something might go wrong with the new machine. After checking that both boilers were working properly, she went to eat with everyone.
