Apocalypse Lord

Chapter 42: Summer 1

On this day, when Shi Jianshan just sat down, some players rushed over and shouted, "Do you have a bamboo umbrella? I want to buy it!"

Shi Jianshan placed the bamboo umbrella and said lightly, "Yes, a handful of 50 copper coins."

Hearing this, the player was in tears and burst into tears, "Say yes, a handful of 30 copper coins on a sunny day, and a handful of 50 coins on a rainy day?"

Shi Jianshan said nonsense, "This is a parasol, a handful of 50 copper coins on a sunny day."

The player is speechless.

"If you want it, you'd better buy it as soon as possible." Shi Jianshan suddenly reminded, "These are the last ten. They will be sold out."

"What?" The player was shocked, "The business is so good, why not keep doing it!"

Shi Jianshan was helpless, "the raw materials are gone."

Without tung oil, without lint paper, the umbrella surface cannot be made, and the bamboo umbrella can't be made.

Player, "..."

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

"Oh, someone is here again." Shi Jianshan caught a glimpse of someone rushing here in the distance, and smiled immediately. "Hold on if you want it. Today is the last time I set up a stall to sell bamboo umbrellas."

Player, "!!!"

"I want to buy two!" He didn't hesitate to pay for it. One purchase was two bamboo umbrellas, for fear that others would **** him.

**

The bamboo umbrella sold out soon.

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

"The player'sees the hills' request to enter the house, is it allowed?"

When Liang Hui received the system prompt, he was taken aback and clicked "Yes".

Push the door to enter, when you see the mountain casually find a place to sit down, and go straight to the subject, "The bamboo umbrella business is finished, let's divide the money."

He was the one who had the idea, and he was the one who stocked the lint paper. The business can be done thanks to him.

But it is undeniable that without Liang Hui's help, he can't be busy alone.

"No." Liang Hui waved his hand again and again, "You helped me purchase a formal resident status and gave me a suite. You have given me enough."

He just helped out and became as capable as others.

Shi Jianshan reminded, "You have to save some money to defend yourself."

Liang Hui paused.

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

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 didn’t pull a hand, I might fall into the lake and drown. I always remember this favor. I hope you can live it in the future. good."

After speaking he left the room.

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

Seeing that the mountain was unstable when I saw it, I subconsciously helped. He swears, it's really just easy, he didn't expect the other party to keep it in his heart...

"No matter what, I finally escaped from Sunset Village. Now I have a room with a deposit, which is much better than the average player." Liang Hui rubbed his face and cheered up. "Old and weak women and children can survive. Men, with hands and feet, will never starve to death!"

Back to his room, Shi Jianshan began to count.

Official resident status.

Wooden house*1.

Copper coins *460.

Bamboo umbrella*3.

White bamboo art drawing*3.

Tools *n.

Some simple furniture.

This is all the property he owns.

"If you stay in Luori Village, even if you make a bamboo umbrella, you will be bought by the team at a reduced price. Even if you make money, you will be robbed if 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 shop sold the hat*1, congratulations on getting 100 copper coins. 】

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

I thought that the rainy season was over and the hats were no longer good for sale. Who knows how many hats and bamboo umbrellas are sold in summer, and the sales are very good.

It happens that the bamboo umbrella has run out of raw materials and can no longer be made. Players rushed to buy hats, fearing that they would not be able to buy them later.

With sun protection equipment, the hunting team will not be afraid of heatstroke when going out. Relying on their level promotion and well-equipped equipment, they go farther and farther when they go out on expeditions.

The resource points in the area far away from the territory are densely covered and no one collects them. The team that took the lead in expanding outward with the courage to make a lot of money one by one.

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

"Strange." She was puzzled. "How did the shelf life of the food become shorter?"

The rice and flour transported from the supermarket originally had a shelf life of 720 days. And now, silently became 660 days.

"At this speed, the food will not be eaten after a long time." Yunling pressed his forehead, quite a headache.

From the corner of my eye, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the game material, and my gaze suddenly froze-the time flow of the game material seems to be normal?

"Why do the quality of rice and flour accelerate in 20 days and 20 days? Sweet potatoes and lotus roots reduce the shelf life day by day? During the rainy season, the shelf life of grains has not been shortened!"

As soon as he said the words, Yun Ling was startled slightly, and a vague idea faintly emerged in his mind.

"Should not..."

She looked at the warehouse full of supplies and was silent, determined to do an experiment.

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

She took these materials out and placed them in the corner to observe alone.

"I hope the guess is wrong." Yunling whispered to herself.

**

It's almost dusk.

After a hard day's work, the residents gathered together and chatted while eating.

"The Doomsday Scourge game is not as difficult as imagined." A man was full of energy and vowed, "The rainy season in spring is difficult. Without rain gear, he was kept in the territory all day, and he couldn't go out for a single step."

"But as long as there is food at home, after those few days, life will be better. Hunting, digging for wild vegetables, you can always fill your stomach."

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

"As long as you can go out, as long as you can work, are you afraid that you will have no food?"

A young man shook his head at hearing, "Life is easy, that's because you live in Lingyun Town! Would you try to live in other territories for a few days?"

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

"It has been raining continuously, ordinary players are trapped in the territory, and they have to eat their grains every day. What should I do if the grains are eaten? I can only bite the bullet and go out looking for grain."

"Drenched in the rain, good luck is only contaminated with a negative state, and it will be fine if you roast yourself. The bad luck gets sick and needs to rest for three days."

"I heard that in the entire rainy season, there were few deaths in Lingyun Town. But outside, if you go out to find out, how many people died!"

The residents were horrified and horrified, and couldn't help but move.

The man who started talking was dubious, "Really?"

"What are you doing to lie to you?" the young man said in a bad mood, "every day there are people who can't stand it. I just packed up my luggage and escaped quickly when I saw too many people die."

Keep staying, he always feels that the next one will be his turn.

The repressive atmosphere almost drives people crazy.

"It's okay, our Lingyun Town system is reliable, there are many elite players, and things like that won't happen!" The man comforted the young man, "With an umbrella and a hat, I can go out every day. Summer is over in a flash."

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

"What's overly optimistic?" The man was anxious, "I think you were bitten by a snake once, and you have been afraid of the ropes for ten years! Life is going well, and I 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.

"A person has no long-term worry, there must be near-worries." The young man secretly said in his heart.

**

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

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

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

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

Upon seeing this, Yun Ling's heart suddenly sank, "The guess is correct. In a high temperature environment, non-game ingredients will rot rapidly, and game materials will not be affected."

According to the expiration rate of 20 days per day, how long can supermarket rice and supermarket flour last? No more than 32 days!

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

It is necessary to provide food for npc every day, but also to sell multi-grain steamed buns and porridge in restaurants. Part of the food has been consumed. The rest is eaten before the expiration date, which shouldn't be a problem.

**

On the way home, Lu Chuan appeared abruptly, saying, "The situation is not quite right."

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

"The food has deteriorated too quickly." Lu Chuan looked solemn, "The biscuits originally had a shelf life of two months. They were opened yesterday and found that there are mold 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 materials are not affected, and non-game materials are rapidly decomposing."

"I found it too." Yunling sighed. "The shelf life of supermarket rice and supermarket flour will fall down. After a while, I will definitely not be able to eat it."

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

"Yes." Yunling nodded, "Game day +1, grain shelf life is -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 because it was stored in a warehouse?" Yunling guessed, "I can't see it when I move it in the supermarket."

Lu Chuan dumbly said, "I didn't expect to have so many privileges as a lord."

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

**

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

At the end of spring, she thought about the hot summer weather, and some food was left soon. It is better to put on refined salt and make a pickled product.

It happened that they raided the supermarket and found a lot of salt from it. You Qingwen immediately salted the meat, marinated 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 woke up this morning to check and found that there was hair on the meat!

Seeing that the meat can no longer be eaten, You Qingwen is angry and annoyed, "I knew I wouldn't make bacon."

Zheng Mingyue carefully checked the cured meat, then opened a bag of salt and tasted it, and frowned, "It's not the meat, it seems that the salt has gone bad."

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

"It's true." Zheng Mingyue handed out the refined salt. "If 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 dipped it in some salt to taste. As soon as he entered the entrance, he immediately showed a disgusting expression, "It's unpalatable."

"I have seen that there are two pieces of cured meat that are good, and the rest are broken." Zheng Mingyue seriously analyzed, "Why are the same cured meats, some made successfully, and some failed?"

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

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

You Qingwen felt a little powerless from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, she didn't want to find out what was the reason, she just wanted to cry out.

Zheng Mingyue looked at the intact cured meat and fell into deep thought. After a while, he said abruptly, "This meat doesn't seem to be salted from the supermarket."

You Qingwen was out of anger, "Apart from supermarket salt, how can there be 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 a copy."

"Later I tasted it and found that it was all salt, and the taste was the same, so I didn't care about it anymore."

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

After being reminded, You Qingwen finally remembered, "That's what happened. I joked about marinating beef at the time, would the salt sold in restaurants be different from ordinary salt?"

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

"The salt sold in the restaurant? The refined salt in the supermarket?" Zheng Mingyue felt that he had grasped something, but there was a layer of yarn in between, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Suddenly, his face changed suddenly, and he strode to the locker, then dig out all the items.

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

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

You Qingwen, "!!!"

She strode forward, grabbed the mustard, followed by a taste, and then felt cold, "...it's not quite right."

Zheng Mingyue stared at the supplies and said slowly, "Open up all the inventory to taste."

"Are you crazy?!" You Qingwen refused.

The weather is already hot, what should I do if the original thing is okay and cannot be stored after opening it?

"The same batch has the same or similar production date. Every time you open one, you know whether it has expired." Zheng Mingyue said solemnly, "We must be clear about how much grain we can eat."

He was right.

You Qingwen walked away silently.

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

"I guessed it was right, it really is." Zheng Mingyue didn't see the slightest expression of joy on his face.

He pursed his lips, his heart heavy, "Game materials are not affected, non-game materials are rapidly deteriorating. Food...probably 40% can't be eaten."

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

**

"It's a very young birthday! The tortillas that were just made yesterday are so bad today?"

"My leek pie!"

"I can't eat a freshly baked bread yesterday!"

The exclamation sounded one after another.

Not long after, the news that "non-game materials are easily deteriorated under the influence of high temperature" spread quickly in the territory.

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

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

Qiaoqiao's grandmother's surname is "Qian". At this moment, she is setting up a small shed to dry sweet potatoes. Seeing her granddaughter came back, she immediately opened her eyes and smiled, "I'm back? Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired, I just walked around the territory and didn't go far." Qiaoqiao said as he unloaded the bamboo basket, and took out shepherd's purse and sweet potato like a treasure, "Look what I dug!"

Mother-in-law Qian was very generous and said, "My Qiaoqiao is really capable."

The corners of Qiaoqiao’s mouth rose crazily, and her eyebrows were filled with smiles, “This is a newly-resourced resource point. I dig a little while there is no one. When someone finds out and rushes over, I ran away without a word. ."

"That's the way it should be." Mother-in-law Qian seriously warned, "You are a girl and you are not an adult. Don't grab someone else, and don't do dangerous things."

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

Mother-in-law Qian said, "I am a child as an adult."

Qiaoqiao has nothing to say.

"Come and give me a hand." Mother-in-law Qian greeted.

"Yes." Qiaoqiao obediently responded.

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

This thing pays attention to grasping dryness. It's too hard to chew. Insufficient sun, too much moisture, tastes soft.

The color is orange-red, the taste is sweet, and it is soft and cottony when chewed. This taste is the best.

Qiaoqiao picked up two slices of dried sweet potatoes and looked at it, and then said in a sure tone, "Grandma, it's almost done."

"Only you are ghostly and clever." Granny Qian laughed and scolded, "I'm planning to wait till night to send it to Xiaofan and the others."

Qiaoqiao volunteered, "You have trouble with your legs and feet, so let me do it."

"Okay, please take a trip, please."

Mother-in-law Qian responded with a smile, and bagged dried sweet potatoes, then boiled the pot with water, washed the rice, chopped up wild vegetables, and planned to make porridge.

The wild vegetable porridge is cooked, and ten tortillas are reproduced, so Qiaoqiao will take them together.

Qiaoqiao talked about it while helping with work, "Grandma, I heard that some of the stored grain is moldy and can't be eaten."

"You got it wrong!" Mother Qian corrected. "It is because the grain obtained from home, supermarket, and shop cannot be eaten, and the digging in the wild will not be affected."

After hearing this, Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay."

At the beginning of the game, their grandparents depended on each other, relying on the rations they brought when they left home. If it wasn't for luck to pick up the equipment card and then sell it at a low price in the safe area, I'm afraid I would have been driven out long ago.

After the first few days were the most difficult, the two heard that weaving straw sandals could be sold for money, so they started collecting and knitting, and got busy separately.

Not to mention, straw sandals are really good for sale. Make a pair, sell a pair, don't worry about the market at all.

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

There were more people in contact, and the residents became familiar with each other. A team came to ask them if they would like to take over the cooking job.

The job content is very simple. The team often meets resource points during hunting. They plan to gather the ingredients when they see them, and give them to Granny Qian when they return to the camp in the evening. Mother-in-law Qian prepared the dry food needed for the expedition the next day, plus dinner the next day.

As a reward, mother-in-law Qian can get 20% of the ingredients and handle it by herself.

Mother-in-law Qian felt that the materials were difficult to find, and the deal was worthwhile, so she agreed.

After heavy rain, the business of hats, bamboo umbrellas, and fur clothes was booming. Mother Qian made a lot of money and even saved enough money to buy a house. Rao is so, she didn't give up cooking.

Now the days have passed day by day, and with the accumulation of months and months, the residence has accumulated a lot of game ingredients, all of which are not perishable.

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

"Don't forget to make a straw hat." Qiaoqiao reminded," Xiaofan said, the hat I wore before is no longer usable. If I went out for these two days without a sun hat, I was exposed to the sun, and the whole person was sultry and hot, uncomfortable. That's incredible."

She can help weaving simple handmade products like straw shoes, and she can't help with complicated ones like straw hats.

"Unforgettable!"

Mother-in-law Qian thought to herself that those children would not be able to take care of the grandparents and grandchildren for the sake of the old and the young. No matter how busy she is and her memory is poor, she will never forget what the other party has confessed.

**

Xiaofan's real name is Zhang Fan.

When I returned to Lingyun Town in the evening, before I had time to return to the house, I saw the residents' faces full of sadness and discussions.

"Non-game materials are perishable? A lot of stored food can't be eaten?"

Hearing this, he couldn't recover for a long time.

However, the eyes of the assassins in the team showed a sense of enlightenment, "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. The cake has become moldy. I thought it was because I had improperly kept it, but I didn't expect it to be a material problem."

The pastor was anxious, "Originally, there was not much grain, but now it is still moldy and deteriorating. How can I live in the future!"

The assassin glanced at the man, "What's the rush? We are from the outside, we didn't bring much food when we fled to Lingyun Town. The only ones left were eaten up during the rainy season."

"What's stored in the house is either the items dropped by mob spawning or the ingredients dug in the wild."

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

Priest,"…"

Almost forgot, they have no surplus to worry about.

"Meat food should be cured." After thinking about it, the pastor suggested, "Generally speaking, cured products have the longest shelf life."

"Then you have to use salt in the game?" The assassin guessed, "I suspect that non-game materials, no matter 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 rushed over. It is estimated that they want to buy salt."

The priest 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, residents swarmed to the shelves, scrambling to buy.

The assassin whispered, "It's crazy..."

The pastor can understand, "It's not because of the fear that the food that has been saved will rot and spoil."

While talking, they joined the panic buying brigade and tried to move to the shelf.

【Name: Table Salt】

Quality: Normal

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

Price: 10 copper coins.

Note: The output is limited, and the purchase is limited to 1 serving per person 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 residents sighed, "Such a bit of salt, I actually sell 10 copper coins."

While squeezing forward desperately, I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy it late.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Fan got away smoothly, with lingering fears, "A person can only buy one packet of salt, what are you robbing?"

Those who didn't know thought they could buy ten packs in one go.

"Talk about others? Didn't you rush to grab salt?" The assassin vomited.

"Isn't it because they panic and desperately snatch, they even get nervous with me?" Zhang Fan said.

The pastor looked at the little packet of salt, not crying or laughing, "What is enough salt for?"

"Satisfaction, something is better than nothing." The assassin turned and looked back.

Twenty minutes later, not only did the number of residents grabbing salt have not decreased, but there was a faint increase in the number of residents. It is estimated that someone came home late and got news later, so he was a step slower.

"I suspect that to pickle a salted goose, you need 10 packets of this kind of table salt."

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

Who said no?

The team members have a sad look on their faces.

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

"I'm back? I'm just about to send you dinner." Qiaoqiao greeted warmly.

"I've been back long ago, I just ran to the restaurant." Zhang Fan's face was solemn, and he repeatedly reminded him to remember to stock up on food and salt.

Qiaoqiao blinked, puzzled, "I need salt, so I can do it myself? Why go to a restaurant to grab someone?"

Zhang Fan and others, "?!"

In response to the dull and puzzled gazes of everyone, Qiao Qiao earnestly said, "Salt making 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 is an almighty senior in high school." The assassin muttered, his voice low and inaudible.

Senior high school students know the working principle of celestial bodies from the top, and the organic-inorganic reactions from the bottom. There are elliptic hyperbola and Pythagorean in the front, followed by the hybrid genetic biosphere.

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

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

It is rainy in spring and the rain gear has been snatched by players. Because they knew Mother-in-law Qian, they didn't need to bid or wait in line, and they had a hat in their hands.

In the summer, the sun is blazing, and the sunshade equipment business is booming. Because I knew Mother-in-law Qian, I just need to say a word about the lack of a sun hat, and I will soon be able to buy it at a reasonable price.

Now, players are generally short of salt, but Qiaoqiao says she will do it.

Who is taking care of whom?

Zhang Fan thought to himself that he was clearly raised by two plug-ins.
