Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 203 Big Purchase

Zhao Xiaoxiu will not let two irrelevant people affect her good mood today.

And she also knows that her father and friends around her hope that she can be happy today.

So after coming out of the cake shop, she immediately adjusted her mood and rushed to the largest free trade market in Jiangcheng with everyone to start an exciting shopping spree.

Zhao Xiaoxiu took out the long shopping list from her pocket and shook it. The papers spliced ​​together with tape slid directly to the ground. It was worth it for her to stay up late to write this detailed purchase list by hand.

The two families split up and made their purchases separately.

Xiwa considers himself to be Zhao Xiaoxiu's lackey, so of course he follows his young aunt wherever she goes.

Seeing the purchase order fell on the ground, he quickly helped to pick it up, shook it out, and spread it in front of the father and daughter for them to see.

Of course, he was not idle either. In order to reflect his self-worth, he actively inquired where the items on the purchase list were for sale.

Most daily necessities can be purchased at official supply stations.

Jiangcheng is worthy of its name as it has three supply stations, and this free trade market also has a station where points can be redeemed with Taoyuan points and hope points.

However, this is the home ground of Hope Base, and using Taoyuan points will require price difference and handling fees, so it is more cost-effective to use Hope points.

So Zhao Gang picked up Zhao Xiaoxiu, who had short legs and could not walk fast, and Xiwa led the way, and the three of them went to the station together to purchase daily necessities.

If you don’t spend the points you have, you’ll be losing out. Zhao Xiaoxiu’s first list was full of things that would improve her quality of life.

I bought enough toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, soap, and laundry detergent for the whole family, enough for two years.

From now on, you can wear clothes that smell good.

An advertisement for a three-in-one facial cream was scrolling on the big screen. It can be used on the face, hands, and body. It costs 2000 points per bottle. Zhao Xiaoxiu bought it without hesitation and ordered two bottles.

One bottle for her own use, and one bottle for her master. Girls use it to make their faces softer, and they don't have to worry about skin redness or itchiness during the autumn and winter seasons.

From the moment Xiwa told the station staff that she wanted two bottles of facial cream, the staff realized that a big customer had come today, and their attitude immediately became enthusiastic.

Xiwa took the purchase order and read: "One box of soy sauce, one box of vinegar, twenty bags of salt, ten kilograms of sugar, and some other seasonings, two boxes of instant noodles, two boxes of yogurt, 300 bottles of nutrient solution, two sets of bedding, two spring mattresses, one set of raincoats in both large and small sizes, one pair of rain boots in size 43 and one pair in size 27."

While Xiwa was reading the script, the staff were picking up the goods, and soon a small hill of goods was piled up in the open space next to the counter at the station.

Finally, after counting all the items on the list, Zhao Xiaoxiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
“Any chocolates or candies?”

The staff shook his head before saying, "We don't have chocolate, but we do have candy. We have maltose cubes produced at the franchise base, and fructose mixed with low-level mutant fruits. One is 600 points per pound, and the other is 1500 points per pound. Which one do you want, kid?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up at Zhao Gang expectantly: "Dad, which one do you want?"

The staff thought this father and daughter pair were quite interesting. For other couples, it was the parents who bought candies for their children, but for this couple, it was the other way around.

Zhao Gang didn't need to think, he had already smelled the rich sweetness and said, "Fructose."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoxiu turned around and stretched out a hand to the staff, with all five short fat fingers raised, "Auntie, I want five kilograms of fructose."

She was afraid that if she added too much, it would melt in the hot weather. And what if there was a new product next time? "Eating too much is bad for your teeth." Zhao Xiaoxiu patted her father's thigh with her little hand and warned him seriously.

Zhao Gang cooperated very well, "Oh, I see."

The staff member couldn't help laughing as he quickly calculated the total price. "What a coincidence, the total amount you need to pay is 60,000 Hope Points."

After calculating the prices, Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at the pile of supplies in front of him and secretly complained in his heart: Too expensive.

But the action of handing over the points card is very refreshing. Nothing makes me feel safer than stockpiling supplies!
The staff member took the points card with a smile, swiped 60,000 points, handed the card back with both hands, and asked tentatively:
"You should be coming from the planting area, right? A batch of mutant animal cubs tamed by psychic evolvers just arrived at the hatchery. You can go over and take a look."

After that, the staff looked at the pile of goods and kindly asked, "Do you need a hovercraft? It's free."

"That's great!" Zhao Xiaoxiu said gratefully: "Thank you, beautiful aunt~"

Who wouldn't like being praised by a cute little girl? The staff member's smile became even brighter. He turned around and went behind the counter to get out a large hoverboard for transporting goods. He helped put the goods on it and personally delivered the goods to the parking spot before leaving.

The two cars were parked in one place. The mother and son of the Meng family had not returned yet. Zhao Gang left Xiwa to look at the goods and continued shopping while holding Zhao Xiaoxiu.

The father and daughter plan to go to the hatchery that the staff member just mentioned to see if they can buy the dairy cows they need.

If not, you can raise sheep or cows.

However, Zhao Xiaoxiu was more curious about how those trainers with evolved mental powers tamed the mutant animals.

With Zhao Gang, the humanoid radar, the father and daughter had no difficulty finding the hatching station.

The official store has distinct characteristics, and the sign must have the Hope Base military logo.

The hatchery is not big, just a small store, with dozens of wire cages placed in a mess inside, some large and some small, most of which are empty. Only the cages at the door contain mutant rabbits of different kinds.

These rabbits look very fierce. Although they are called cubs, they seem to be about the same size as the adult rabbits, with pointed teeth and mottled gray fur. Only the color of their eyes is different.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at the store name twice before she was sure that she had come to the right place.

"These aren't the newly domesticated cubs that the beautiful aunt said." Zhao Xiaoxiu frowned and murmured. The mutant rabbits at the door smelled so bad. She had a keen sense of smell, and the stench was even stronger.

The store manager walked in from the back door covered with black plastic, put his hands on his sturdy waist and looked at the father and daughter fiercely before asking, "Want to buy a rabbit?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu pointed to the empty cages in the store and asked tentatively, "Uncle, don't you have any other baby animals at home?"

"You are late. The newly arrived batch of domesticated cows and sheep have all been bought."

"There is not a single one left?" Zhao Xiaoxiu felt a little disappointed because she had just found what she wanted.

The boss shook his head and pointed to the next door with his thumb. "There are some in the free market too. If you can't wait, you can go over there and take a look."

"But I have to remind you that it is not on the same level as our official after-sales service. Evolved people can still try it, but ordinary people forget about it."

"Okay, thank you." Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled politely at the fierce uncle, took her father's hand, and took him to the side to take a look.

Not long after we walked, we heard a burst of cheers.
