Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 393 Daily Wasteland Collection (21)
After Song Ling sent the message through the watch, the two of them rushed to the collection point in front of the right, carrying the persimmons.
The orange trees growing over there are not very tall and are hidden among the woods, so they are easily overlooked.
When they came over, there was no one around, and each of them had a tree, so there was no chance of conflict.
Drip
"Sweet orange, highly mutated fruit, inedible"
"Sweet orange, highly mutated fruit, inedible"
"..."
It was a bad start. Shen Yao was unable to ship out the few oranges around her after testing them. On the contrary, Song Ling kept reporting the sweet oranges that were edible.
"Girl, if you can't find another one, there are enough trees around for us to pick."
At a glance, you can see vast tracts of sweet orange groves, densely packed with orange-yellow fruits.
To be honest, Song Ling was a little nervous. She didn't expect her luck to be so good at the start. It seemed that she could make a fortune from fruits alone in the next two days.
During the fruit ripening season, the prices at the redemption center will be lowered accordingly.
However, compared to nutritional supplements which are not very valuable, natural foods such as fruits are still very valuable. The double-digit guaranteed purchase price is one of the main ways for ordinary people in the base to make money.
It seems that there are a lot of people in Changle Town, all coming here for the high-yield fruits.
As for whether to eat the fruits yourself or sell them to exchange for points to buy food, it is a personal choice and Song Ling will not comment too much.
"No, let me try again," Shen Yao was not convinced and asked the system to help her as a plug-in. She didn't even want to use the detection needle and directly picked the marked oranges.
The empty backpack was filled with oranges, and when it reached a certain depth, it was poured into the sack beside it.
Shen Yao was busy going back and forth, and soon finished picking all the sweet oranges in her area.
At this time, Song Ling also received news from Shen Jiancheng. Shen Jiancheng, who had taken the last bus, was on his way to Changle Town with a cart and sacks, and asked them to wait patiently.
"Sit down and take a rest. Here are some nutritional supplements," Song Ling took out the nutritional supplements she brought with her and generously gave one to Shen Yao who was standing beside her.
Shen Yao shook the pink nutrient supplement. Hmm, it doesn’t taste very good.
"Let's make do with it. We'll talk about it after we're done with this busy period." There's no time to prepare meals when they go out every day. Shen Yao and Cheng Qi can take turns doing it for a day. Song Ling's family simply uses nutritional supplements for their three daily meals.
When Shen Yu went out, he only took nutritional supplements with him and nothing else.
"Mom, why don't we go to the other side this afternoon? There should be a cluster of chestnut trees there."
You can make chestnut stewed chicken to change up your usual meals.
"Chestnut trees?" Song Ling nodded at her watch. "Is it the one in front?"
Shen Yao hummed, "Dad is coming over, let him stay here, we will just carry the sacks over."
It was difficult to inspect the chestnuts without peeling them, so they had to pack them all up and take them away to save time.
But this way, other fruits cannot be picked because there is not enough time.
Song Ling looked at the sacks piled on the ground and thought that there would be enough to eat even if she didn't pick the fruits. Today's gathering task was overfulfilled, so it would be nice to pick some chestnuts to take back.
"I'll talk to your dad, and we'll go pick chestnuts this afternoon."
There aren't many large wild animals in this area, so you don't have to worry about your safety wherever you go.
The only thing they had to be careful about was that there were a lot of mosquitoes, snakes and ants in the forest. Even though the two of them were wearing very thick clothes, they still couldn't avoid being bitten all over their faces.
Reaching out and scratching the red and swollen part of her face, Shen Yao planned to go back and spray some spray. Even if it didn't work, it could at least relieve some of the itchiness.
I was sitting under a sweet orange tree for a noon when I heard footsteps in the distance.
Shen Jiancheng shouted in his unique voice, and the nervousness immediately dissipated.
Song Ling complained that Shen Jiancheng was simple-minded, "We are all here, come quickly."
Shen Jiancheng replied "Coming, coming" while pushing the cart towards the destination.
Originally, he didn't want to bring the cart out, but there were too many things to carry back, so Shen Jiancheng had to lift the cart onto the car by himself and carry the cart and sacks together.
However, even though he had prepared himself mentally, Shen Jiancheng was still a little surprised when he saw the sacks piled on the ground. Did Changle Town have a good fruit harvest?
"What a good harvest! Yaoyao chose a good place. Not many people are here," so they can take advantage of the bargains. After they finish their work here, they still have to compete with others.
Song Ling asked Shen Jiancheng to move the sacks together and told him to guard them until they came back.
"There are fruit trees ahead?" Shen Jiancheng was eager to try and wanted to help.
"There is a chestnut tree in front. Yaoyao and I can come over here quickly. You just wait here obediently," Song Ling calmed Shen Jiancheng's restless heart and promised that the three of them would come out together tomorrow and they could pick as many chestnuts as they wanted.
Shen Jiancheng: ...
Shen Jiancheng didn't really believe Song Ling's empty promises. He said similar things countless times, but in the end, nothing came of it.
"I think it's okay for me to go over there. There's no one here," Shen Jiancheng said aggrievedly. When Song Ling glared at him, he immediately behaved himself and didn't say any more.
Shen Yao hid aside and watched the fun, covering her mouth with her hands. She didn't say much every time there was a disagreement, so she was not involved in anything.
Until the topic between the two came to an end, Shen Yao guided them at the right time, the storm passed, and the atmosphere returned to calm.
…………
"Such a large area of chestnut trees, and no one noticed it?" Song Ling lowered her head and picked up the furry chestnuts one by one, her tone full of disbelief.
"I don't have time to come. Chestnuts are not as valuable as fruits." Points can be exchanged for most hunger-relief foods (nutrients), but chestnuts are just bland if you eat too many of them.
This chestnut tree is not on the map, but was discovered by the system.
If you walk a short distance forward, you can reach another hilltop. There happen to be tangerine trees there. After picking tangerines, you can also pick some chestnuts to take home as snacks. How could you not be discovered?
"Let's pick more while we have time. Chestnuts can be stored for a long time and are delicious when fried.
I heard on the forum that in the past there was a way to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts.
But sugar is too expensive, and it has to be fried with sand, so most people can’t afford it.”
Anyway, Song Ling had only heard of it but had never tasted it. As for whether it was delicious or not, since everyone said so, it must be delicious.
Shen Yao thought that she hadn't eaten authentic sugar-roasted chestnuts for a long time. It happened that she had some time during the cold season, so she could go back and prepare some, and maybe she could replicate it.
The sacks they brought were filled with fallen chestnuts and placed flat on the ground, bag by bag, until the two men felt they could not carry any more back and had to stop and rest.
"It would be convenient to have a car, but pushing a cart is still too slow," and the main reason is that they need to take the bus to return to the base, unlike driving themselves and being able to go anytime.
"Xiao Cheng is busy, and our family doesn't have any connections. How about we go to the car dealership and use the points to rent a car?"
The rental vehicles are definitely not four-wheeled vehicles, but you can choose pedal tricycles.
However, tricycles are expensive and it is almost impossible to get one, so Shen Jiancheng might need to ask someone for help.
Song Ling hesitated, "Isn't the tricycle too slow? The distance from Changle Town to the base is quite close." Riding a tricycle while pulling a carriage full of sacks would be impossible no matter how strong Shen Jiancheng is.
Shen Yao told Shen Jiancheng not to worry, and that they could rent a gasoline-powered tricycle. "Cheng Qi can help here. Mom and I will collect the supplies, and Dad will be responsible for delivering them back."
Then give more supplies to Shen Yao. Brothers should settle accounts clearly so that Shen Yao doesn’t take advantage of others for nothing.
"Listen to Yaoyao. Xiao Cheng is always cautious in doing things. With his help in renting a car, we can save a lot of trouble."
If they rent a car themselves, they might get cheated by the owner of the rental company.
Those who can open a car rental company at the base all have powerful backers. Ordinary people cannot compete with them at all, and most of them can only admit defeat when they are cheated.
Speaking of this, Song Ling recalled the time when they spent twice as much on car rental. Although they got their money back in the end, it was still very uncomfortable to be disgusted for several months.
"Then leave it to Xiao Cheng," as the saying goes, we are one family and we don't have different opinions. As long as the benefits are distributed reasonably, it can be used in any way.
The three of them pushed the cart with no one in front of it back to the boarding point, and as expected, they were surrounded by a large crowd of people.
What's in the sacks isn't that important, but the mere fact that there are so many of them is eye-catching.
Shen Jiancheng took the lead to block all sights. Shen Yao and Song Ling hid behind him and discussed in a low voice whether to continue collecting chestnuts or picking fruits tomorrow.
Renting a vehicle won’t be that quick, it’ll take at least a day.
Then they will have to take the bus tomorrow and transport the goods manually.
"First look at the chestnut shipment rate. If it's high, pick chestnuts. If it's low, pick fruits."
The fruit shipment rate is not high, and the situation with chestnuts is still unknown. Song Ling covered her mouth and thought again and again, and decided to just look at the facts.
Shen Yao did not refute this. She thought this was a good idea. If the chestnut shipment rate was higher than usual, then they could earn back the points from the fruit by picking a few more sacks.
During the cold season, you cannot go out for a long time, so having more edible food at home is better than anything else.
The mother and daughter discussed in a low voice, and one of them couldn't help but come over to find out the news, but was glared away by Shen Jiancheng.
When the bus arrived, they tied the sack to the roof, squeezed in, and endured the bumpy ride back to the base.
As expected, Shen Yao vomited all over the floor after getting out of the car and became listless.
No matter what time it was, Shen Yao's body couldn't stand this kind of bumpy bus, especially when there were many people. There were all kinds of smells, which were not friendly to her at all.
Cheng Qi rushed over after get off work just in time to see Shen Yao vomiting heavily.
He reached out to help the man up and patted him on the back, then the four men left with the cart and sacks.
"Backpack, Backpack"
Shen Yao whispered to remind everyone not to forget her backpack, which was filled with half a basket of sweet oranges. No one took advantage of it because the whole car was filled with the scent of oranges.
Cheng Qi took it and advised her to rest at home tomorrow.
Their family really does not lack this little food. Once he buys a house in Area B, he can exchange it for more durable food from the exchange center.
"We will come to Changle Town tomorrow, it's okay," Shen Yao refused to lie down. It would be boring to stay at home with nothing to do, so she might as well go out and find some fun for herself.
"By the way, we want to rent a car, right..." Shen Yao leaned close to Cheng Qi's ear and reminded him. It was not until they arrived at the door of the house that Cheng Qi nodded in agreement.
It's not that he is embarrassed, but Cheng Qi is worried that they are too tired. Renting a car is one thing, but with only three people working, can they do heavy physical labor?
"Dad's body can handle it. Besides, we got more gene stabilizers this year than last year."
Shen Jiancheng's health is not as good as Shen Yu and Cheng Qi, but Shen Jiancheng can maintain it by relying on gene stabilizers.
In other words, the Shen family is living better this year than before, otherwise why would they be so pretentious? No matter whether they are capable or not, they have to do everything.
"I'll arrange it as soon as possible, but don't work too hard," Changle Town is a traffic-prone area in this mild season, and there is a high probability of conflict when they pick fruits.
Even if you carry weapons for protection, there is no guarantee that someone will not cause trouble.
People die every year during the mild season, and quite a few die in the wild.
Cheng Qi couldn't count how many cases he had handled, and most of them ended up in nothing because of the lack of evidence in the wild. Although no one could prove their innocence, they also couldn't prove their guilt.
The base, the patrol team and the muddying the waters have caused some people's appetites to grow bigger and bigger, and more people have to be bullied. Cheng Qi has a hunch that the base will sooner or later deal with a group of people severely, but not now.
“We’ve been to some remote places recently, where there are fewer people and less trouble. After this busy period is over, the restrictions on the plantations at the base should be relaxed again.
There are also crops such as cotton that we use for heating in winter, so we don’t have to worry about them causing trouble then.”
As long as most people are kept busy, the base can safely transition to the cold season.
The patrol team that Cheng Qi is in is currently conducting a base census, which is the first step in obtaining information.
It seems like the people on the list have been put on the patrol team’s blacklist, and they are just waiting for an opportunity to get rid of them, so the base is still functioning well for now.
When they got home, they first sorted out the things in the sack, and then had a meal of fried chicken. There were so many pheasants caught on the hill that they could eat for a long time even if they ate every day.
Fortunately, I made a lot of smoked chicken and air-dried chicken and hung them up, otherwise the freezer layer of the refrigerator would not be enough.
"The shipment rate of these chestnuts is very high," basically one out of two or three can be eaten.
The moderate mutations and low mutations were placed separately, and Cheng Qi peeled the chestnuts while checking them.
Shen Yao was also very excited. She contacted Song Ling to ask about it and found out that both mother and daughter had the same delivery rate, which made her more determined to pick chestnuts tomorrow.
However, when Cheng Qi heard the location of the chestnut forest, he looked surprised and asked them to take the earliest bus tomorrow.
Shen Yao:...Hmm?
"The inspection team will go there tomorrow, and bring the families with them," Cheng Qi shrugged, indicating that although the chestnut forest they were going to was not in the same direction as the one Shen Yao mentioned, the locations of the chestnut forests were interconnected.
In other words, as long as they collect fast enough, they will encounter it.
Shen Yao:……? !!!
Shen Yao then told Song Ling the news, which unsurprisingly made Song Ling feel a sense of crisis.
How could this be possible? He thought it was his, but he had to fight with so many people for it. He had to use all his strength.
He called Shen Jiancheng and told him to stop wasting time, "Let's pick chestnuts together tomorrow. If we go too late, we might not get any at all."
This is a bit exaggerated. There are not many family members in the patrol team. It's just that the patrol team is particularly attractive. Maybe more and more people will come to the chestnut forest, and finally all the chestnuts on the trees will be divided up by everyone.
Shen Jiancheng nodded and said "ah" twice, indicating that he would bring more sacks and work harder tomorrow, as chestnuts can be kept longer than fruits, so he must pick enough to cover his loss.
