My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1302.0
[Chapter 1274: Crazy consumption, exaggerated purchasing power!]
Throughout the history of ancient China and foreign countries, waterways have often played an important role in human travel choices, and were once considered the best routes.
The reason for this status is supported by multiple factors.
First of all, from the perspective of carrying capacity, the huge advantage of ships makes them dominate waterway travel.
Compared with land-based transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and livestock, ships can carry more cargo and passengers, thus enabling larger-scale transportation.
For example, more than two hundred people gathered from the four major territories were all accommodated in just one light frigate.
If it were on land, it would take at least four or five buses.
Secondly, waterways are relatively safe, especially canals that are not bordered by the sea.
As long as there are no forces entrenched on both sides of the canal, it will be difficult to threaten ships in the canal.
The wide field of vision makes it difficult to implement any ambush. In addition, the innate defense capabilities of ships are much stronger than those of vehicles, and their ability to escape is also better.
If we really want to start a war, the final victory or defeat is really not certain.
But now, Liu Zhi and the other four have deeply felt this!
The frigate’s speed of up to thirty-five knots, equivalent to a speed of sixty-five kilometers per hour, was simply outrageous.
The scenery on the shore is like pressing the fast forward button, continuously retreating backwards.
If you can keep cruising forward at this speed, you only need to return to where the Honghua Gang is.
Liu Zhi silently calculated in his heart and couldn’t help but curse secretly.
“The gap between this person and a human is simply greater than that between a human and a dog.”
The biggest advantage of water transportation is that it can operate around the clock at night just like during the day.
At a speed of 65 kilometers an hour, it only takes one day to return to Honghua Gang.
And how long did it take for them to come?
It had already taken eight and a half days while traveling with the current!
If he hadn’t been lucky enough to hitch a ride, it would have taken ten days to reach the Tianyuan territory.
One round trip, that’s more than half a month!
“We have to think of a way. It’s easy to go with the current when we come here, but it’s harder to go against the current when we go back.”
“Let’s see. We don’t have enough money. I wonder if we can get some on credit first.”
“It would be great if I could buy a boat with Tianyuan Territory. I just heard from the sailor that this boat won’t refuel!”
“If you don’t refuel, then why are you running?”
“It seems to be solar energy? I didn’t hear it clearly. Anyway, it can drive thousands of kilometers on a single charge.”
“This relationship is great. If we can buy it, wouldn’t it be much more convenient for us to go back?”
The four of them stood on the deck chattering and discussing the information they had just received.
As envoys from the territory, their main purpose of coming this time is to trade.
The first is to see if we can apply with the Tianyuan Territory to open up a sea route between the two territories.
The second is to use the supplies you brought when you went out to buy some in-demand items that the territory needs and return.
As for what counts as “short supply”?
This is quite simple. Ships of all sizes are popular commodities under everyone’s feet.
Of course, there is no need to think about the central command ship and frigates. These big guys are definitely not cheap.
The four of them almost simultaneously set their sights on the seven-meter-long guerrilla boat, and planned to purchase it through a joint venture with four territories.
Once the purchase is successful, it will be the same as now.
A long row of sampans with ropes was hung from the back of a guerrilla boat, sailing easily in the river.
“Dear guests who have come from afar, our current location is about three hours’ flight from the territory’s dedicated docking station.”
Behind the deck, a sailor wearing a white and blue shirt walked up.
He turned slightly, looked at the somewhat astonished Liu Zhi and the others and continued: “Due to the emergency situation when we just met, we inadvertently disturbed everyone’s lunch time. We are deeply sorry. In order to express our apology and thank you Thanks to everyone’s support and trust from afar, the captain specially ordered to prepare a simple ship meal for each guest.”
“After we get ashore, the territory will carefully arrange a dinner to wash away the wind and dust, and apologize.”
As his words fell, the sound of wheels rolling over wooden boards was heard on the deck, and two dining carts were seen pushing over one after the other.
There were five steaming steamers inside, exuding a mouth-watering meat aroma.
The other cart contained stacks of palm-sized cold dishes, filled with aroma, which instantly aroused everyone’s appetite.
“This cage is filled with meat buns. Each person can receive three.”
“This cage is made up of cold side dishes, one dish for each person.”
“Please line up in an orderly manner and we will ensure that everyone can receive a sufficient amount.”
The sailor smiled and made an inviting gesture, his tone full of sincerity and enthusiasm.
Meat buns?
Side dish?
hiss.
Many people swallowed their saliva and involuntarily touched their dry and flat abdomen.
Although the four territories were not considered wealthy, they did not deduct any money from their own missions traveling to Tianyuan.
The necessary dry food and necessary preparations are basically treated according to the highest standards.
But you don’t have the luxury to use this big meat bun?
The scent of this oil is simply an irresistible temptation for those who have not touched oil or water for a long time.
Soon, the sound of feasting sounded on the deck.
“These meat buns are so delicious. Damn it, I’m willing to come to Tianyuan just for these three buns.”
“Fortunately, I didn’t eat much at lunch. It would be a shame if I was full.”
“Shredded potatoes, cold fungus, damn, are we in heaven?”
“Is there any brother who sells steamed buns? Can I sell one to my brother?”
Just have side dishes, a bite of meat buns, a bite of vegetables, and a bowl of warm water to quench your thirst.
A group of people ate voraciously and quickly devoured all the buns in their hands.
As for the side dishes, most people still had half a plate left, and some were reluctant to chew and swallow them.
I don’t know what seasonings were put in it, but when I taste it, I feel like I can’t help but cry.
It seems to be the smell of home, and it seems to be the smell of mother.
Even if it was just a mouthful of ordinary shredded potatoes, more than two hundred people were stunned to taste a completely different taste.
“Brothers don’t seem to have enough to eat. How about we go negotiate and see if we can buy some?”
After Liu Zhi finished eating three buns, he wiped his mouth and said with some unfinished thoughts:
“Furthermore, we can also get a feel for the price of this Tianyuan. If it is expensive, don’t mention it when buying a boat. Otherwise, we will be regarded as bumpkins by others, which will inevitably be detrimental to the subsequent transactions.”
The three of them nodded at the same time and sighed angrily:
“It’s been a hard journey all the way here. We originally planned to treat the brothers to a good meal, but now it’s just right. I think they still have a lot of steamed buns left. Let’s give it a try.”
After discussing their opinions, the three of them each fumbled in their pockets twice and handed out a golden bean.
“Friends, I want to buy some more meat buns with you. Isn’t it convenient?”
Liu Zhi took Pang Pangyuan with him, and they approached the sailor who spoke first and asked shamelessly.
“purchase”
The sailor looked surprised, then nodded: “Of course, but”
“We pay with this!”
