Trading bazaar, Wengcheng.

Zheng Hanbing and others lined up for inspection with baskets on their backs.

He looked at the dilapidated pickup truck in the driveway next to him, his eyes filled with envy.

It would be great if they had a car. If they had a car, they wouldn't have to walk. The seven or eight hours of walking could be compressed into two hours.

And you don’t have to carry such a heavy basket on your shoulders, it’s highly efficient and doesn’t require much effort.

It's not difficult to build a car. There are a lot of scrapped vehicles out there. If you spend some time assembling them, you can put together a drivable car. The key is fuel.

Without fuel, a car is just scrap metal.

They...can't afford fuel.

However, Zheng Hanbing looked down at the basket with hope in his eyes, and it would definitely get better and better in the future.

"Hey, buddy, what's in your basket? It's wrapped in cloth, it's mysterious..." A man in front of Zheng Hanbing was carrying a large package and asked, staring at the basket.

When Zheng Hanbing heard this, he took half a step back, but he quickly realized that he was now in the Wengcheng of the trading market. Even if this person knew what was in his basket, he could not rob it.

So he said calmly: "What's in your package?"

The man in front smiled and said: "Hahaha, what's the matter? The contents of my bag are all cicada sloughs and wild sweet potatoes."

"Wild sweet potatoes can still be found near Oil City. Shouldn't they have been dug up long ago?" Zheng Hanbing asked in surprise.

The corners of the man's mouth raised, but he did not directly answer his words.

Naturally, it is impossible to tell others where you dug things from.

"What's in your basket? I've already told you what's in my package. Besides, you'll have to take it out sooner or later for inspection later."

Zheng Hanbing thought about it, so he answered: "Wild vegetables."

"Wild vegetables? So many wild vegetables?" The man's eyes were full of surprise.

The seven people were all carrying identical baskets, so they were obviously together.

There were seven people and fourteen baskets, all of which looked full.

This was the first time he saw so many wild vegetables.

Faced with the man's question, Zheng Hanbing did not continue to explain.

Soon, it was their turn to be inspected.

The man in front did not lie, it was indeed cicada slough, which can be eaten and is also a traditional Chinese medicine. It can be used to treat constipation, sleep disorders, enteritis, rhinitis, irregular menstruation, bronchitis and other diseases.

In the No. 3 receiving shop in the trading market, you can exchange for high points.

"What's in here?" the inspector asked Zheng Hanbing.

Zheng Hanbing quickly explained: "They are all vegetables, edible vegetables."

The inspector's brows jumped. Vegetables? He didn't quite believe his ears. Wasn't it a wild vegetable?

"Open it and take a look." The inspector said to Zheng Hanbing.

Zheng Hanbing waved to the people behind him, gesturing for them to take out all the vegetables.

This is not the first time for them to come to the trading market, so they naturally know the rules here.

They lifted off the layer of cloth on top of the basket, and then took out the cabbage on the surface one by one. At the bottom were cucumbers, vegetables that are not easily crushed.

"It's really vegetables, cucumbers and Chinese cabbage. Where did you get these?" the inspector asked in surprise.

Zheng Hanbing originally didn't want to answer, but after all, this was a question asked by the inspector, so he had no choice but to get closer and answer in a low voice: "We grew it ourselves."

The inspector looked strange. The vegetables looked very fresh, as if they had been picked this morning.

But these days, it’s not easy to plant crops outside. Not only do you have to face robbing by other survivors, but you also have to worry about damage from zombies and natural disasters. You may have to work so hard to sow seeds, spend time and energy fertilizing and watering, and may end up with no harvest.

.

The inspector looked at the vegetables and said to Zheng Hanbing: "When it comes to food safety issues, you go over there to try them and undergo careful inspection."

Zheng Hanbing nodded helplessly. It seemed that the management of Wengcheng was stricter now than two months ago.

But there is one advantage, that is, you no longer need to pay the city entrance fee when entering and exiting the trading market.

Soon, he led the team members to the food area to inspect.

In the food area, you need to go through several processes, including the carriers trying to eat it themselves, and randomly cutting off a small portion and using a microscope to see if it contains zombie viruses.

Zheng Hanbing met the man again here.

The two didn't communicate much. After checking for fifteen minutes, Zheng Hanbing carried the vegetables as expected and led everyone to the trading market.

As soon as he entered the trading market, he was shocked by the business district.

Xie Dali, a young team member next to him, even exclaimed:

"Let me go, how did this place become like this? The changes are too big!"

Several other people also expressed emotion.

"The changes are really big. There seem to be many more shops."

"It's only been two months, why did it become like this?"

It had been too long since he had come in. Zheng Hanbing looked around and saw the bulletin board next to the city gate.

There will be some basic information about the trading market on the bulletin board, and it will be updated as the trading market changes.

For example, if a new store is added in the trading market business district, the number and name of the new store will be written on it.

Zheng Hanbing wanted to learn some of the latest information about the trading market from this bulletin board.

When he saw that there were three levels of housing in the trading market and that level 5 personnel needed to pay for housing, he felt like the sky was falling.

In the past, there was no need to pay rent for housing, but now you have to pay rent.

The truth is hard to accept.

But when he saw that the cheapest rent only cost 0.01 points, he was relieved.

He quickly asked Xie Dali next to him: "Dali, do you still remember how many points we had in the trading market before?"

"I don't know, there seems to be not much left."

Zheng Hangbing thought for a while, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we live in the cheapest one. It only costs 0.07 points. We only stay one night. We should have such points. And we will sell vegetables later, so we will definitely be able to get some points."

."

A middle-aged man next to him asked:

"Mr. Lin told us that it would be best to sell to someone from Oil City."

Zheng Hanbing nodded and said: "Yes, I know. I just saw the sales point. Shop No. 3, let's go."

As soon as they finished speaking, the seven people picked up the vegetables and walked towards the business district.

In fact, they can earn more points if they set up a street stall and sell it themselves.

The reason why I want to sell to self-operated stores in Oil City is not to set up a street stall and sell it myself.

Mainly because they don't want to be public and let many survivors know that they have the source of vegetables.

This is why wealth should not be exposed.

These vegetables are just superficial, smart people can see the root of them.

Now that we can grow vegetables, does that mean we can grow other things? Where are they grown? How are they grown? When are they harvested?

A thoughtful person will think about these issues and wonder if he can snatch it away outside the city with his own strength.

By selling vegetables to Oil City, they don't have to set up stalls to show off in the market and reduce everyone's attention to them.

On the other hand, there are fourteen baskets of vegetables, so many vegetables that only the officials of Oil City can eat in one sitting.

Moreover, the vegetables won't last long in such hot weather, so they have to sell them as soon as possible.

To sum up, selling it to the Oil City officials is the most appropriate.

They lowered their heads and wore hats as they walked towards Shop No. 3 of the Trade Market.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Shop No. 3.

Shop No. 3 is a store that specializes in collecting various groceries.

These include various grains, vegetables, meat, animal skins, seeds, traditional Chinese medicine, electronic products...and so on.

Shop No. 3 was originally only about a hundred square meters, but now it is more than four hundred square meters.

It's much bigger than when they came two months ago.

The huge shop No. 3 was crowded with people.

One by one, they came with various items to exchange for points.

For all kinds of things, as more and more things are exchanged, a pricing system gradually develops, and it becomes more and more reasonable and detailed.

They found the counter where they should queue at the sign at the door.
