Trading bazaar.

Business district.

Shop No. 3.

This store is the official store of Oil City that collects various groceries.

Many survivors have collected some useful supplies outside, or some wild meat, Chinese medicine, and other various things. They can evaluate the value here and then exchange them for corresponding points.

Due to the relatively large demand for this category, store No. 3 has expanded from one store at the beginning to four stores, with an opening area of ​​nearly 20 square meters, covering a large area.

There are different counters divided into different categories.

This store alone has more than 20 employees.

The general person in charge is Sister Lan.

Sister Lan can be regarded as an old person in Oil City. She was one of the first collaborators in Oil City a long time ago, leading Niu Gao and others to cooperate with Oil City for a long time.

Later, Oil City underwent several reforms, and they were gradually promoted to non-staff positions.

Before the end of the world, Sister Lan was the manager of a large supermarket and had rich management experience.

The vision and skill are sufficient.

Food and medicine counter.

Chu Juan and Liu Zhuangshi looked at the counter with bated breath. They saw an old man in front of the counter picking up the wild yams in their basket one by one to inspect them, and even put them to the tip of his nose to smell them.

After it seemed that there was no problem, I weighed it on an electronic scale.

drop--

56 pounds and 5 taels.

Seeing the number on the electronic scale, Chu Juan and others had smiles of surprise on their faces.

This is higher than their estimated weight.

They did not weigh the wild yams they brought back in the evening, but they only roughly estimated that they weighed about 50 kilograms.

"Are these golden cherry blossoms and mountain twist seeds all sold?" the old man asked.

"Yes, yes." Chu Juan nodded quickly and replied.

The old man took a small basket and pulled out all the golden cherry seeds and mountain twist seeds.

Weigh them one by one.

The golden cherry seeds weighed half a catty, and the Shantuanzi weighed 2 catties and 3 taels.

Golden cherry tree and mountain twister tree are both wild fruits and are also used as traditional Chinese medicine.

Among them, the functions of Golden Cherry are to strengthen sperm and reduce urination, strengthen collapse and stop vaginal discharge, astringent intestines and stop diarrhea.

Shantuanzi can activate blood circulation, dredge meridians, astringe and stop bleeding, and regulate liver and spleen meridians. It has a therapeutic effect on rheumatic bone diseases, joint movement difficulties, trauma, bleeding and other diseases.

The old man pressed the calculator slowly, returning to zero, returning to zero, returning to zero.

After pressing it, a number was obtained.

The old man took out the points punching machine and said to them:

"You have a total of 56 kilograms and 5 taels of wild yam. 1 kilogram of wild yam can be exchanged for 0.5 points, and wild yam can be exchanged for: 28.25 points.

There are 2 catties and 3 taels of Shantuanzi in total. 1 catty of Shantuanzi can be exchanged for 0.3 points, which can be exchanged for 0.69 points.

There are 0.5 kilograms of golden cherry seeds in total, and 1 kilogram of golden cherry seeds can be exchanged for 0.3 points, which can be exchanged for 0.15 points.

The three types can be exchanged for a total of 29.09 points."

"If there are no problems, I will record it for you."

Chu Juan did a mental calculation and figured out there was no problem. She nodded with a smile and said:

"Thank you, Teacher Ma, for recording it for us."

Ma Zheng looked at Chu Juan, a smile appeared on his originally selfless face, pointed to a signboard erected next to him and said:

"Next time, you can look for plants and herbs here that can be exchanged for higher points."

Chu Juan looked at a huge sign next to her. On it were densely written the names of various herbal medicines. The top ones were: Blood Drainage, Anomatis, Chonglou...

After seeing these herbs, she smiled bitterly in her heart. Although these kinds of herbs can be exchanged for high points, they are not so easy to find.

But when faced with Mr. Ma Zheng's reminder, she still said gratefully: "Thank you."

Ma Zheng is the father of Hefeng team member Ma Dong. He once worked as a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in a small county town all his life. In addition to sitting in the traditional Chinese medicine hall at the trading market, he also came to do some work at the counter here.

Although I am quite old, my health has been much better in the past two years than before.

Ma Zheng asked a staff member next to him to come over and settle the bill with them.

"The Rhythm of Plants team, captain Chu Juan, had a balance of 15.3 points last time, an increase of 29.09 points, and the current total is: 44.39 points."

"This is your points list, please check it."

The female staff member handed the order to Chu Juan.

Chu Juan stretched out her hands and bent her waist to take it.

"thank you."

The minimum staff here are level 4 personnel. They have such a good attitude towards you. If you, a level 5 staff member, are rude, you will make them feel unhappy.

If you offend the person at the counter, they will also try to mess with you.

However, recently the trading market seems to have implemented a suggestion box, and survivors are welcome to report.

I don’t know if it works, and she hasn’t tried it either...

After checking the points list and finding that there was no problem, she smiled and replied: "No problem, thank you."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the basket, led the students out of the way, and walked toward the door.

Wang Beibei held Chu Juan's arm and said excitedly:

"Professor Chu, can we have something delicious tonight?"

"Yes, yes, nearly 45 points. Oh my god, this is the first time we have so many points!" Wang Yong nodded vigorously.

Professor Chu smiled and said nothing, and led everyone straight to the shop selling corn pancakes.

I spent 3 points to buy 12 tortillas.

This corn tortilla is dry and has low water content. Although it costs 0.25 points per piece, it is the most cost-effective food for low-level survivors like them.

Because the water content is low, it is very solid. One is about the size of an adult's palm. Just eating one is enough for one person's meal.

But because it has less water, it tastes very dry, and it is easy to choke if eaten without water.

This kind of tortilla is made from the whole corn, including the corn cob inside, crushed into powder, added with a very small amount of flour, cooking oil, and salt, kneaded and baked.

Before the end of the world, corn cobs were usually thrown away or used to feed pigs.

But in the apocalypse, corn cobs can be eaten. Corn cobs are rich in nutrients, containing 54.5% sugar, 2.2% crude protein, and 0.4% crude fat. They are also very nutritious.

The taste is not very good, but the nutritional value is not low.

In addition, it is made by baking and drying. The moisture content is very low and the shelf life is very long. If it is placed in a sealed jar, it will not be a problem for two months.

It can also be cooked into paste or used as dry food. It is very convenient and is the most popular food in the trading market.

Chu Juan distributed 12 corn pancakes to everyone. There were six of them, two for each person.

This was extremely luxurious. In the most difficult time, they shared two corn pancakes among six people.

But now, there are two tortillas per person.

Not eating any meat made a few people feel a little disappointed, but at least they were finally full today.

"Sigh...Professor Chu, can't we eat a bunch of meat? Anyway, we have enough points. At worst, we can get more wild yams tomorrow..." Liu Zhuangshi ate

Holding the dry corn tortillas, he sighed and said.

Before Chu Juan could answer, another tall young man Liu Yibo said:

"With six people, there are now less than 42 points left. On average, one person has 7 points.

Accommodation costs money, 0.02 points per person per day. If there are two tacos per person per day, the cost per person per day is 0.52 points.

The cost for six people per day is 3.12 points. 42 points won’t last us two weeks.”

After his calculations, everyone's mood suddenly fell from the clouds.

The cost of housing in the trading market is very low, especially since they live in the worst third-grade rooms.

It only costs 0.02 points per day and 0.6 points per month.

As long as you're not a waste of food and waiting to die, you can basically afford a place to live.

But we have to eat. After all, two tortillas a day are still too luxurious.

Two months have passed since the thunderstorm disaster. If luck hadn't happened today, they might only have a dozen or twenty points on hand.
