Natural disasters are coming: the space is busy with stockpiling and farming

Chapter 126 Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t ask

The bamboo charcoal in the space is automatically packed into a sack of 50 kilograms, and it is sold just right for customers to take away.

In order to show fairness and impartiality, Jiang Sheng also placed two scales.

One is inside the house and the other is outside the house, so that no one will come over and cause trouble, insisting on saying that the weight is wrong and then blackmailing her.

Liu Yongmian walked home with difficulty carrying the bamboo charcoal, feeling happy in his heart. If it weren't for the heavy weight, he would have jumped up immediately.

On the way back, I met many acquaintances. Everyone looked at the bamboo charcoal he was carrying and came up to ask. Liu Yongmian also dutifully helped Jiang Sheng advertise, and soon there was a long queue in front of the store.

All the families who could afford it came, and everyone carried at least 50 kilograms on their backs. After all, bamboo charcoal is resistant to burning, and a crystal core costing 50 kilograms was a big bargain for everyone.

Jiang Sheng sat in his seat and counted the crystal cores until his hands became weak. From the moment the store opened until nightfall, the door was still crowded with people.

At this time, Su Chen and the others also came back from searching for supplies. They were a little surprised when they saw the long queue.

Although I knew that bamboo charcoal would definitely be snatched up by people, it was still visually shocking to see so many people queuing up.

Seeing that the number of people queuing up is increasing, Jiang Sheng is busy in the store and can't care much at all.

Helplessly walking towards the end of the queue, Su Chen stopped some people who were about to queue up.

"It's getting late and the stall will be closed soon. If you want to buy, please come back tomorrow."

In fact, most people have already bought it once, but because they are worried about the limited supply of bamboo charcoal, they continue to queue up as soon as they go home and put away their things. That's why Jiang Sheng is so busy.

Su Chen helped Jiang Sheng work hard to maintain order. The long queue finally gradually became shorter. Su Chen stood at the end of the queue and followed the long queue into the house.

Jiang Sheng was still wondering why the people in line were so self-conscious and went back knowing it was getting late. But when he looked up, he saw Su Chen leaning on the table and looking at her with a smile on his face.

"I'm very busy today, have you eaten?"

Jiang Sheng hammered his sore shoulders, his face was slightly stained with soot, and his handsome little face looked dusty.

"I took a break to eat a sandwich, but I'm not hungry."

Su Chen gently scratched her nose, with a hint of imperceptible endearment in his tone: "I know you don't eat well, so the chocolate I found from outside is your favorite brand, so hurry up and soothe your belly."

Jiang Sheng looked at the beautifully packaged chocolate and hurriedly reached out to take it.

"You actually remember that I like to eat this chocolate."

After tearing open the wrapping paper, Jiang Sheng hurriedly stuffed one into her mouth. The slightly bitter but silky chocolate melted in her mouth, quickly soothing her fatigue.

There were some broken charcoal residue on the ground. Su Chen asked Jiang Sheng for a broom and started sweeping it carefully.

Although it is charcoal residue, it can still be used. It cannot be thrown away like garbage, as it would be too wasteful.

The hall on the first floor was cleaned up in an instant. Su Chen took the opportunity to help Jiang Sheng repair the doors and windows of the entire store. At the same time, he added additional working hours on the small blackboard hanging at the door.

[Note: The store opening time is tentatively 8:30-11:30, 14:30-17:30, please pay attention to the time, it will automatically close at that time.]

Jiang Sheng was a little bit dumbfounded, but looking at Su Chen's serious back, there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.

"If I don't need to go out to look for supplies, I'll come over to help you. If I'm not here, remember not to tire yourself out."

After carefully locking the door of the shop, Su Chen carried Jiang Sheng on his back and walked home step by step.

Jiang Sheng's legs swayed slightly, and the fluff on his collar lightly scratched Su Chen's cheek.

"I'm not tired, but my hands hurt from counting money. I made tens of thousands of crystal cores today and I'm very rich."

Jiang Sheng smiled sweetly and hugged Su Chen's neck tightly.

You can even get your money back in one day, which is such a great feeling.

Su Chen reluctantly carried Jiang Sheng forward. The dark road was dry and cold, but their hearts grew closer and closer.

We had dinner at Su Shaolun's house. The door was gently opened a crack, and the aroma inside immediately poured out, making Jiang Sheng's mouth water with greed.

"You're back? Try the steamed buns, peppers, mushrooms, and corn grilled with bamboo charcoal. It's delicious."

A barbecue pit was placed on the balcony, and the fragrant barbecue smell soon caused quite a commotion.

Su Shaolun was using a brush to apply sauce on the mushrooms. It was sweet and spicy, and Jiang Sheng liked it better.

"I remember that no one came to me to ask for bamboo charcoal today. Who gave me these bamboo charcoals?"

Jiang Sheng picked up a bunch of roasted corn and took a satisfying bite regardless of the scalding temperature on the surface.

"I met Captain Mo. He happened to buy too much and couldn't carry it anymore, so he gave Su Cheng a bag."

Su Shaolun's attention was still on the barbecue, carefully controlling the heat and time.

Su Cheng was squatting aside eating steamed buns when he saw Jiang Sheng's eyes turning and said hurriedly: "I paid the crystal core according to the price, but I didn't take advantage of him."

Jiang Sheng nodded with satisfaction. Although Mo Yu was a nice person, he was sincerely thinking about the base, and he also respected her sincerely.

However, she never likes to owe others favors, so she always likes to divide some things more clearly.

The entire base exudes the fragrance of bamboo charcoal, which can be used not only for heating, but also for heating food and water. It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

The coal sold by Jiang Sheng can actually burn for a full 10 hours and still be warm.

Be sparing and only burn 10 kilograms or 20 kilograms of charcoal at a time. The bamboo charcoal exchanged for one crystal core can be used for three days.

The water I usually drink is mixed with some ice residue, and even the stored water has to be kept under the quilt to keep it warm. Now that I have a charcoal basin, I can finally drink hot water.

There is no need to eat hard bread anymore. Once baked on the charcoal stove, the aroma can even make people drool a lot.

When everyone's body is warm, they will naturally have the strength to work. Every household starts to work. After earning crystal cores, they go to buy bamboo charcoal. The frostbite on their hands is much better.

Mo Yu gently leaned his hand against the charcoal basin. Yu Yongye, the speed evolver who had led Jiang Sheng and others into the base, was squatting next to him to warm himself over the fire.

"Bamboo charcoal is a good thing. I have also inquired about it. In other bases, you can only buy two kilograms of a third-level crystal core of bamboo charcoal. They are also damp and are not easy to use at all.

How did the base manager come to have so much high-quality charcoal, which is of good quality and sold so cheaply?"

Yu Yongye's hands were fair and slender, but there were a few horizontal scars on them, which looked a little awkward under the light of the charcoal fire.

Mo Yu rubbed his hands, feeling the warmth brought by the bamboo charcoal, and sighed contentedly.

"Hey, why do you think so much? The base has such strong abilities, what else can't she do?

Let’s just work hard, don’t ask questions that we shouldn’t ask, and don’t think about things that we shouldn’t think about.”

These bamboo charcoals are cheap and durable. I don't know how many lives it can save. Without this batch of bamboo charcoal, more and more people will freeze to death in the base.

The most important thing for them, the top management of the base, is not to figure out the source of the supplies.

Everyone's main task is to save the lives of the survivors in the base and make everyone live as happily and freely as possible. This is also his goal.
