Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Li Yong originally just liked to send some vegetables and meat to his leader as usual. Li Yong's leader had the same body shape as him with a big belly, and the leader had another characteristic, that is, he was particularly particular about food. It was said that he was an A-level dark power user. He was capable, but before his power awakened, he was just a gourmet who loved delicious food in the end times. Even in the end times, he often studied food at home, and even hired a chef who had worked in a five-star hotel before to cook at his home at a high salary.

When Li Yong brought over a few tomatoes yesterday, he originally thought that they would not taste very good because the tomatoes grown in Cai's orchard were also sour and had a raw taste, which were not suitable for cold dishes. However, he did not expect that the tomatoes he brought over yesterday would be used by the chef to make a most common dish of cold tomatoes with white sugar. As a result, the leader was amazed after taking a bite. He hardly moved his chopsticks for the seven or eight dishes on the table, but ate the cold tomatoes with relish.

Li Yong also tasted a piece himself and found it was indeed sweet and sour, without that strange astringent taste.

The leader asked this question twice at the end of the banquet last night, and mentioned it again this morning. The meaning was very clear. After years of working in the workplace, Li Yong had long understood the importance of following the right leader, so he rushed to the Cai family as soon as he got off work in the morning.

Cai Min was much more thoughtful than his father. He immediately smiled and softened his tone. "Chief Li, these tomatoes are not grown in our orchard. They were bought on the black market. I spent a lot of points on them."

"Bought on the black market?" Li Yong frowned immediately. He had originally hoped that the tomatoes were grown in the vegetable greenhouse at the base camp, so that they could be supplied to the leaders above for a long time. The leaders would satisfy their appetite and would also be in a good mood with him during normal communication.

"Yes, Chief Li, you know that it is always easy to find treasures in the black market. I also succeeded in opening a blind box, and finally did not waste my money. However, the taste is indeed very good, but it's a pity that I can't buy it in large quantities."

"Why can't we buy in bulk? Not enough money? People don't want to sell?" Li Yong felt hot and anxious, and he felt as if the air was burning.

Seeing this, Cai Min's mother quickly turned the fan so that it could face Li Yong. Li Yong smiled and nodded, then anxiously turned his gaze to Cai Min's face.

Cai Min could only tell the story of the black market. She knew in her heart that Boss Gu did not want to get into trouble, so she tried not to reveal too much information to him, and repeatedly emphasized that Boss Gu was only self-sufficient, so it was impossible for him to sell too much at one time.

Li Yong could only sigh in the end, but he still didn't give up, so he asked: "Can I meet this Boss Gu, I want to talk to him, maybe we can get this friend of Boss Gu to work in our Wanderer Base Camp, or settle down there? If our base camp has such a talent, I can report it to the camp commander and give him the best treatment in the form of talent introduction."

Cai Min could only laugh and didn't say anything until Li Yong finished speaking in one breath. The smile on his face faded a little, and he explained, "Chief Li, we all understand what you said, but to be honest, that Boss Gu doesn't look like he's short of money, and he has his own car, so he probably lives well in the base. Besides, he has an ice-type ability brother by his side, so he might have some connections in the base. People like him won't be tempted by such material conditions, unless our base can offer more favorable conditions."

After a pause, Cai Min looked at Cai Kang again and saw that Cai Kang was smoking with his head down, and obviously had no intention of stopping his daughter from continuing.

"Besides, the current infrastructure of the base is much stronger than that of our Wanderer Base Camp. Not to mention the number of psychics, they also have power plants, network bases, Daxing Hospital and guilds. Even the last large-scale beast tide was suppressed by a special action team sent by the base. Our base camp was just assisting. Therefore, I don't think anyone would be willing to give up the superior conditions at the base and come to our base camp."

Li Yong's face grew uglier with every word Cai Min spoke, but in fact, what Cai Min was talking about was the current situation. After all, the people in the Wanderers' Base Camp were originally a tribe formed after they were unable to enter the base, and later gradually developed into the large-scale small county it is today.

But the scale of the base's development is too large. The area of ​​the Jiangcheng base alone is more than ten times that of the Wanderer District 2 base camp. It is said that the dungeon there is about to open. The base has spent nearly two years building a huge dungeon, with a total investment of nearly one million times the manpower and unknown trillions of funds, all for the purpose of providing more humans with a space to survive and develop one day in the future.

Li Yong's originally hopeful dream was shattered, and he naturally felt bad, so he just kept silent. After a few minutes, Li Yong pursed his lips, looked serious and asked in a negotiating tone: "Then can you discuss with this boss Gu to see if you can increase the transaction quantity of goods? If this step still doesn't work, you can discuss it again. At least our base camp can get priority trading rights, and the price is negotiable."

Cai Min knew that this was Li Yong's last concession. After all, she was worried at the beginning that Li Yong would keep pestering her and even use extreme measures against Boss Gu.

After feeling a little relieved, Cai Min was visibly relieved, and his smile became much more sincere. "Don't worry, Chief Li, leave this matter to me, I think it should not be a problem." At least everyone was very happy with the cooperation during these two times. Cai Min knew from his dealings with Boss Gu that this person liked people who were trustworthy and straightforward. Therefore, every time Cai Min proposed a price, the other party would not bargain. It seemed that he was also aiming for a pleasant cooperation.

After all was said and done, Li Yong noticed two large foam boxes on the table in front of him that had not yet been put away.

Cai Min's temples trembled violently and he glared at Cai Gong fiercely.

I had asked Cai Gong to move to the room before, but Cai Gong was so busy eating that he forgot about it. He quickly looked away, fearing that he would be killed by his elder sister's gaze.

"Cai Kang, what is this?" Li Yong asked as he started working. As soon as the foam box was opened, his eyes widened.

Twenty minutes later, the two men called by Li Yong got out of the van. Under Li Yong's command, they calmly took away two foam boxes full of vegetables in front of the Cai family.

Seeing that all the vegetables had been taken away, Cai Min was so angry that she squeezed her brother's arm tightly.

Although Section Chief Li gave Cai Min a higher reward for lettuce and cucumbers, she only earned less than a thousand points for the trip. Naturally, Cai Min felt unhappy. If Section Chief Li had not interfered, she could have earned at least four thousand points from these two boxes.

When she thought of this, the fingers that were twisting Cai Gong's arm tightened even more.

"Hiss~ Sister, sister, sister, please spare me, I really didn't know that Section Chief Li was so cruel. He just took everything away at once, leaving nothing for us." Cai Gong felt helpless. He didn't know that Li Yong's eyes were as powerful as laser beams. He immediately saw the two foam boxes piled in the corner.

Cai Min laughed out of anger: "Look at you, you usually take your time to eat, and mom and I have to urge you to get to the table. But today you're like a starving ghost, you're so impatient that you haven't even finished your work."

"It smells so good that my mouth is watering." Cai Gong rubbed his arms and explained aggrievedly.

Cai Min's mother came out of the room with two black plastic bags, which looked heavy.

Cai Min hurried over to take a look and found that there were at least seven or eight lettuces and a dozen cucumbers inside.

"Mom, when did you..." Cai Min exclaimed.

Cai Min's mother smiled and said, "I originally wanted to give some away for our own consumption, and you should sell the rest directly, so I took them out and put them in the freezer."

Cai Min was so surprised and delighted that she hugged her mother and said, "Mom, you are awesome. Now we can have some good vegetables for a few days."

Cai Kang was blowing smoke rings beside him and said unhappily, "Look at what you're saying. Our greenhouse is doing pretty well. Go look at the family next door. They haven't even grown any cucumbers this year. And you're still complaining about it."

"Hey, Dad, I'm not disliking my own vegetables. There's really no harm without comparison. The half bowl of smashed cucumbers on the table just now were all eaten by you..."

After being exposed by his daughter in front of him, Cai Kang turned around uncomfortably and coughed a few times.

After joking a little, the smile on Cai Min's face gradually faded. In fact, she was also worried that Li Yong would be greedy. After all, human desires are endless. Although the relationship between Li Yong and the Cai family is relatively harmonious at the moment, and Li Yong did not get any information from Boss Gu today, it does not mean that he will have other ideas after returning.

"Dad, Mom, and Cai Gong, husband, we all need to be careful during this period. I don't think Li Yong will give up the clue of getting high-quality vegetables easily. When we trade recently, we should pay attention to whether anyone is following us."

"Sister, no way, just for a vegetable?" Cai Gong still couldn't believe that Li Yong, who wanted to make friends with his family, would use them for a little benefit.

Cai Min didn't say anything. Instead, her husband shook his head and said, "Xiao Gong, we are not in a civilized and orderly society now. In the end times, we only care about immediate interests. Your sister is right. Since Li Yong didn't get Boss Gu's information from us, he may not give up after returning. Perhaps in the future, we should all pay attention to whether there are flies following us."

****

The 1,105th day of the end of the world, the 45th day of extremely hot weather.

The extreme heat was still continuing. Tonight was Gu Tongwan's third time going to the black market for trading. The things she brought this time were a little simpler. They were mainly some red and white wine that she had previously snatched from Hou Cheng. She had torn off the packaging and replaced it with white paper, so that the source of the wine could not be traced.

In addition to these, there is also some wine and bayberry wine that she brewed herself, five bottles each, all with a capacity of 750ML.

The rest were some underwear that I found in the space and didn't need temporarily. They were all brand new underwear. When I was looking for bargains in the department store, I bought at least four large boxes from the underwear store. There were at least a thousand pairs of men's and women's underwear in total.

Even if I use them for twenty years, I may not be able to use them all, so I chose some sizes that are not suitable for me and planned to sell them. Anyway, the black market has no shortage of rich people to consume, so they are piled up in the warehouse and take up space.

The alcoholic beverages were still placed in the foam box. Yan Fan had put ice cubes in it in advance. In addition, he occasionally used his special powers to keep the temperature low, which prevented the alcohol from evaporating in extremely hot weather.

After the stall was secured, some of the red wine as samples was placed on the table.

Before going out, she had already bottled some of each wine in 100ML refill bottles, so that people who wanted to buy could have a small taste, but the number of tastings was limited. Her principle was to taste it for free after payment. If it really didn't taste good, of course she could get a refund, but if someone deliberately made trouble, Yan Fan would be responsible for teaching them a lesson.

Now that there is a C-level psychic around, most people are still quite wary and will not provoke a C-level psychic for no reason.

She was still dressed as "Boss Gu" tonight, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt that was a little pale from washing. The beard on her mouth made her want to blow air upwards.

Fortunately, she had brought a battery-powered electric fan and placed it next to her. Although it only blew warm air, it was better than nothing. Later, she was really too hot, so Yan Fan used his supernatural power to add some crushed ice on her left and right sides. The ice catalyzed by the supernatural power user could last at least half an hour. Thanks to him, the temperature around her dropped slightly.

The owners of the two stalls nearby couldn't help but cast envious glances at her when they saw that she had a younger brother with ice-type abilities. Some even stepped forward to offer Yan Fan some ice for their stalls, but Yan Fan refused.

Yan Fan took advantage of the time when no one was around to whisper, "I don't want to use other people's abilities as entertainment."

The more I get to know Yan Fan, the more I realize that Yan Fan is actually a tsundere, with self-esteem that is higher than that of his peers. That's why he has been following me diligently all this time, rushing to do whatever work he can, just because he doesn't want to feel like a dependent.

Gu Tongwan was sitting on a small stool with his legs crossed and a scruffy beard, looking very unpresentable. Many single women passing by couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands while laughing, probably because they thought his unkempt appearance was very funny.

At this moment, Gu Tongwan saw a familiar figure and his eyes widened immediately.

How come that person is here? Didn’t he say that the business trip to Kyoto would take a month?
