Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 348: Selling herbal tea also makes money
Gu Tongwan took the man's order. In fact, the deposit was not high. He first collected about 20%, which was about 1,000 points.
Although the man was hesitant, he thought that the shop was still there, and with so many air conditioners, she would have nowhere to sell them even if she wanted to transport them out. The points card was registered with the person's real name, and once he left the base, it would become a useless card. So robberies had often occurred in the base over the years, but they were basically robberies of supplies, and no one had ever seen anyone robbing brand-name cards. After all, brand-name cards not only required a password, but also a fingerprint. Otherwise, no one would be able to swipe the card to make purchases no matter where they went.
After swiping the card, the man said that his air conditioner would be brought over at around 3:30 in the afternoon. He kept asking when it could be repaired and how long it would take. It was obvious that the man was very anxious.
In fact, for the twelve air conditioners, if only the main control board was broken, the repair robot could probably fix one in about ten minutes. But according to the normal speed of an electrical repair shop, a technician could only repair one machine in the morning at most. If she was too fast, it would easily arouse suspicion from others, so she simply said it would take a week.
When the man heard this, he wanted to ask for it to be done faster, but when he thought about the three months it took to inquire at the electronics store, one week was nothing compared to ninety days.
In the end, the man left with many thanks, and Gu Tongwan raised the corner of his mouth, at least he was sure that it was another big income.
In the afternoon, in addition to the twelve air conditioners delivered by the man, she received two other orders. By almost five o'clock, she had received six or seven orders, including many people who sent her private messages through the forum background.
It seems that the effect of placing advertisements in the forum has been achieved. It was only one night and one hour. With the help of the "water army", at least 10,000 points were earned in one go.
Gu Tongwan closed the shop on time at 5:30 p.m. Her business hours are now from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. She even has to take a one-hour break for a short nap at noon, otherwise she would be exhausted from running the shop all day.
When I came out of the store, the sun outside was still scorching. At four o'clock this afternoon, the base issued an extreme heat warning again. The outdoor temperature has reached 55 degrees, and the indoor temperature is as high as 47 or 48 degrees. I can see that there are basically no people walking on the road. Occasionally, people who pass by with their heads down also cover their heads tightly with their coats for fear of being burned by the scorching temperature.
Gu Tongwan's car was parked outside, and fortunately it was covered with a heat-insulating car cover in advance, otherwise the excessive temperature might affect the engine.
The car drove back to her own small yard. As soon as she arrived at the yard, Aoao and Tutu smelled her scent and jumped out quickly.
The two dogs rubbed the back of Gu Tongwan's hand affectionately, and hot sweat broke out on Gu Tongwan's forehead. Although the temperature in the yard was a few degrees lower than outside, the current temperature did not drop as the sun went down.
Gu Tongwan glanced at the solar panels placed on the balcony and muttered to himself that the battery seemed to be full.
Only the air conditioner in the bedroom on the second floor was turned on. It was like two different worlds when going from the first floor to the second floor.
The temperature on the first floor is currently 46 degrees. The second floor is slightly cooled by air conditioning, so the temperature is around 35 degrees. The bedroom is relatively cooler, but still 30 degrees.
Gu Tongwan bit her lip and looked towards the room. Finally, she moved another electric fan in. The temperature of 30 degrees was still quite hot for the human body, especially when the hand touched the floor, which felt like it had been ironed. Such a temperature was really not normal.
Because the weather is getting hotter, I basically eat cold dishes for three meals a day, and occasionally have a sandwich or a hamburger.
I took out a portion of Jiangxi mixed rice noodles, which was just slightly spicy, and paired it with the passion fruit lemon sauce I had made earlier. I scooped a spoonful and put it on the cup, then poured in sparkling water. A mouthful of mixed rice noodles and a sip of passion fruit sparkling water seemed to comfort me for the hard work of the day.
The two dogs are lying in front of the electric fan to enjoy the cool air. They seem to be in good spirits. They must have gradually adapted to the current weather.
Mutated animals are indeed better at adapting to the environment than humans. In addition, the superpower levels of Aoao and Tutu should have reached at least A-level. Therefore, the two dogs can control their superpowers to regulate their body temperature. Although it will consume some mental energy, this consumption is nothing for them.
After eating and drinking, she took a cold shower. It was called a cold shower, but in fact the water put in the bucket in advance was warm. This was the water she put in when she went out this morning. If it was the water from the faucet now, in the water pipe that had been hot all day, the water just coming out would be so hot that people would scream.
I finished washing my hair and taking a shower in less than half an hour. I sat on the sofa, enjoying the breeze with a popsicle in my mouth. I opened my laptop and logged into the base forum. It was exactly eight o'clock, so I could see a prominent advertisement as soon as I opened the living area section.
Of course, the advertisement does not remain static all the time. Instead, it appears in the upper left corner in a scrolling form like other advertisements. Her advertisement can be seen about once a minute, and each time it stays for about twenty seconds.
There are currently more than 100,000 people in the base who can use the Internet normally, but the number of visitors to the living area can reach an astonishing hundreds of thousands every day. Many people come here to post as soon as possible, so the advertisements placed in the living area can basically be seen by others. No wonder the charges are expensive, and hundreds of points are charged for just one hour.
Currently, the most popular advertisements in the living area are for various beverages, sun protection equipment, and some refrigeration equipment, but they are limited to some small fans. After all, not only battery fans but also air conditioners are out of stock in the entire base. If you really want to buy them, you can only try to contact the black market. Maybe there are defective products there to raise the price.
At this time, the number of private messages in the background had reached an astonishing hundreds. She quickly browsed through them one by one. Half of the messages had no objections. In the end, there were more than a dozen orders that were finalized, and they all agreed to bring the machines over tomorrow morning.
There is still one day of advertising time. If this continues, the revenue should be much more substantial than I expected. I can earn at least 50,000 points in a week of opening the store.
However, it does consume some space system points. After all, the repair robot can only be tried for free three times a day. After excluding the free times, an additional 200 space system points will be consumed every day.
That's 1,400 points a week. I feel a little sad when I think about it. After all, I haven't left the base for a while, and I can't find bounty targets to earn points. But fortunately, the space land has been upgraded. Except for purchasing some small props and seeds, I haven't spent many points. Now there are more than 10,000 points left in the space system, which is enough to be consumed in repairing the robot this time.
After confirming the order, Gu Tongwan went to the space, mainly to count the cold dishes and various herbs collected in Xiaoxi Village a few years ago.
She currently has another idea. Since she has already rented a store, she can use the space outside to set up a simple herbal tea shop. She only needs to boil two buckets of herbal tea every day. Each serving of herbal tea costs five points and the capacity is 500 milliliters.
I have two large soup pots in my space, each of which can hold dozens of liters. I can sell about 200 servings of soup from the two pots combined, so I can earn about 1,000 yuan a day.
Although there are now "herbal tea supply points" in the base, these herbal teas are mixed with too much water. Not to mention that they don't taste like herbal tea, it is still uncertain whether they have the effect of reducing heat.
I have seen many complaints in posts before, saying that the base is crazy about making money. The herbal tea is no different from boiled water, but many people are worried about heatstroke, so even if it costs money, everyone still lines up to buy it.
Gu Tongwan had made herbal tea himself last time. The herbal tea he made himself was genuine in both taste and efficacy, so he was not worried that someone would dislike it if he sold it for five points a serving.
In fact, boiling herbal tea is not a difficult task. Basically, all the herbal tea ingredients are put in a pot and boiled together. After cooling down, put them into the pot.
After all, the refrigerator is not big enough, so it is impossible to put it in. After cooling naturally, one pot is placed in the open space, and the other pot is piled in the snow during the extreme cold. This way, when you go out tomorrow morning, you will have a pot of iced herbal tea and a pot at room temperature.
But they can't be taken out in advance. They have to wait for a while before they can be taken out. The weather is hot now, and even things at room temperature will go bad very quickly. Even herbal tea, if you don't pay attention, may have a strange smell in the afternoon if you make it in the morning. If it is a fermented food, such as a cup of soy milk, she drank half a cup last time and put it on the coffee table. When she wanted to drink it at noon, it was only about two or three hours later, and the soy milk was completely sour.
I fiddled in the kitchen for about half an hour. Because I had to wait for the herbal tea to cool down completely, I simply moved the two soup pots into the room and turned them facing the air conditioner. Otherwise, with the temperature in the kitchen, there was no way I could expect the scalding herbal tea to cool down overnight.
The wind blew from 8:30 in the evening until almost 11:30, and the two large pots of herbal tea only became slightly warm.
It was already 11:45 in the evening when he came out of the space. As soon as Gu Tongwan came out of the space with a temperature of 24 or 25 degrees, he was immediately greeted by the 30-degree temperature in the upper bedroom. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. This damn weather was really challenging his lower limit day by day.
I took out a portion of the herbal tea and filled two large kettles, each with 2L. I then put the kettles in the refrigerator to chill them.
After finishing all these things, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
She got up at 6:30 in the morning, washed up briefly, still wearing a [tights] inside and a refreshing light green casual outfit outside. She took out two pots of herbal tea from the refrigerator and put them in the car, one for herself and one for Jiang Tian.
Before going to bed last night, Jiang Tian sent me a message saying that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and her words were filled with longing and grievance.
This little girl used to be particularly clingy to me when she was in Zijing Community. I didn't expect that over the years, the little girl's soft tone in communication messages is still exactly the same as before.
Jiang Tian was quite happy to know that Gu Tongwan had opened a store in the inner circle, because the two had not been able to contact each other due to the hunting conference and the insect plague. Jiang Tian didn't know that Gu Tongwan had moved to the inner circle, which was less than three kilometers away from where she lived, so the little girl pestered her and asked her many questions last night.
Gu Tongwan just arrived at the store and found a couple standing at the door, looking here and there, and maybe whispering to each other.
When they heard the sound of a car coming from behind, the girl quickly pulled the boy back. When they saw Gu Tongwan take out the key and start to unlock the iron gate, they looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
I didn’t expect the boss is a woman, and so young?
"Excuse me, are you here to repair the air conditioner?" The girl spoke weakly, looking a little hesitant.
The girl looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, and the man next to her didn't look much older either, but both of them had suspicious looks on their faces, probably because they didn't want to believe that she was the boss's wife.
"Well, this is a temporary electrical appliance repair place. I'm the boss lady. If you have any questions, just tell me. Don't just stand there in the sun. Go ahead and talk."
After opening the door, the two saw her open the door of the inner room with ease, and saw that there were more than a dozen air conditioners in the room, including many outdoor units.
At this time, the two of them felt a little relieved. It seemed that they had found the right place.
The boy seemed to be a little bolder than the girl. He hesitated for a while before asking, "We sent you a private message in the background of the forum before. We asked for the price at that time. The price we were offered was 500 points for a floor-standing air conditioner. I wonder if the price is still the same now?"
"Yes, that's the price I discussed with you before. I won't raise the price, but I won't accept bargaining. After all, the maintenance technicians are also very hard-working. If you can accept that, just bring the air conditioner over."
"Can I get the machine today?" the girl added, looking anxious. But she seemed to realize that she was a little impatient, and lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
The boy immediately explained on behalf of his girlfriend, "We're not trying to rush it. It's mainly because the elderly at home have suffered from heatstroke and we want to make them feel a little more comfortable. The weather is really too hot and we're worried that they can't stand it. We can add money... but not too much. We just started working and can only give out 800 points in total. Boss, can you talk to the maintenance guy and ask him to repair it for us first?" The boy was still very polite and tried to explain the reason as tactfully as possible.
Gu Tongwan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the two were dressed decently, he thought their family environment was okay, so he asked, "How long has the old man had heat stroke? Shouldn't he be sent to a health center? This can't be cured by just turning on the air conditioner."
When the boy heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "It's impossible to get into the health center."
