Doomsday B&B

The noise kept coming from downstairs, and suddenly, a loud sound came up, accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity.

Qi Yun looked down and chuckled. Jiang Xinrui and Jian Xinling followed Qi Yun's gaze and laughed after seeing what she was looking at.

It turned out that downstairs, Raymond Lam was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking very proper. What was out of place was that he was holding a large megaphone, the kind used for hawking in a vegetable market.

"Alright everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Welcome to the marketing meeting hosted by our Sunshine Team."

As you can see, everything here is for sale, and you should all have a list and a pen in your hands.

This list includes the specifications and prices of the items. If needed, you can mark the required quantity next to the corresponding item on the list and indicate the recipient at the beginning of the list.

Starting tomorrow, we will deliver the goods to your door one by one. However, there is one thing to note: you will need to pay half of the deposit for the ordered goods.

Our marketing event is now officially starting. Please feel free to shop! There will be a surprise at the end, and you can pick up a small gift before you leave.

Okay, let’s get started.”

As soon as the words "Let's begin" were uttered, the noise in the entire venue instantly increased, becoming even louder than before.

Seeing this, Qi Yun turned to Jiang Xinrui and said:

"RuiRui, it looks like you're going to make a fortune. Remember to treat us to a meal when you get back to the guesthouse."

"That's for sure. But Ling'er and I have already discussed it. We'll split the profits into three parts: I'll take 4, Ling'er 3, and you 3."

"Are you willing to give up so many?"

"Of course I'm willing to part with it. I only came up with an idea; the rest will depend on you guys."

"Alright, then I'll accept this generous gift from you. When we get back, I'll give you a big gift in return, how about that?"

"That's great, hehe."

"Excuse me, everyone."

Suddenly, Lin Feng's voice rang out, interrupting their conversation.

"The busy man is here!"

"What are you saying? If it weren't for everyone, our Sunshine Team wouldn't have achieved what we have today."

"Then, show me your list. I need to know how much money you've made."

"Ms. Jiang, don't worry, we've remembered your reminder. We've simply doubled the price based on your quote."

"Oh, really."

"Of course, we wouldn't stoop to tampering with this."

"Alright, alright, then you must know that this is the first and last time we'll work together."

"I understand, I just had a slight advantage."

"Okay, sit down and have something to eat."

"No need, even if it's just a meal, it's on me. Please wait a moment, Aunt Lin is already cooking and it will be served in a bit. However, if you don't want to attract attention for the time being, you may need to stay here for a while."

"It's okay, we're fine, we'll just stay here."

After a while, Aunt Lin came up, carrying a large tray filled with snacks and drinks.

After setting down the tray, Aunt Lin introduced it to Qi Yun and the others:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a snack from my hometown called 'Qieqiegao' (切切糕). However, since the ingredients are unavailable after the apocalypse, I have made some improvements. Also, this is yogurt made with snow lotus bacteria, which is somewhat beneficial to your health. Please enjoy it."

"Hey, Sister Yunyun, look at this cut cake, it's so pretty!"

"Mmm, our little rich girl, enjoy your meal."

"elder sister."

"Okay, good boy."

Aunt Lin, do you know what this snow lotus fungus is?

"This snow lotus fungus is a type of bacteria. You just need to soak it in yogurt and ferment it for 10 to 20 hours, depending on the temperature. After that, you can take the snow lotus fungus out and have edible yogurt. Moreover, the snow lotus fungus will also multiply and grow rapidly during the fermentation of yogurt, so it can be reused repeatedly."

"Is it really that amazing? There's actually such a thing?"

"Miss Jiang, you flatter me. This snow lotus fungus is quite niche, so not many people know about it. Moreover, it comes from Tibet, and it's normal that you ladies don't know it, given your age. If you like it, I can share some with you ladies. With proper care for a few days, you can ferment your own yogurt."

"Isn't this good?"

"Miss Jiang, please don't be so polite. Even if I separate the original strain, it will only take a few days to grow. Besides, the team is now able to obtain it thanks to you, which is even better. Moreover, those young men would rather drink expired beverages than my yogurt, so it's alright."

"Then, please."

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. Could you please give me a few airtight bottles or boxes? I don't have any suitable containers here."

"Aunt Lin, is this alright?"

"Ok, Ok."

Aunt Lin looked at the few small food containers in front of her, nodded repeatedly, picked up the containers, and went downstairs.

"Sister, when can we leave? It's so boring. Wouldn't it be better to play around on the way? Even going out to kill zombies would be better than staying here. Maybe we'll even run into a strange beast like Little Red?"

"Is this already boring?"

"Ah."

"Don't rush. The Beijing base should have an auction house or something. Let's check it out before we leave. We need to see if there's anything suitable for Jian Lei; isn't that the main purpose of our trip?"

"Okay, I understand, Sister Yunyun."

After the two stopped talking, Aunt Lin also came up:

"Miss Jiang, Boss Qi, Miss Jian, here are three portions of snow lotus spawn for each of you."

"Thank you, Aunt Lin. Please take this carton of milk."

“That’s not appropriate.”

“Aunt Lin, you’ve already given us such precious snow lotus bacteria, what’s wrong with taking a box of milk? If you don’t want the milk, we don’t need the snow lotus bacteria either.”

"Okay, I'll accept it. Thank you, Miss Jiang."

"Hehe, I want to take a good look at what this snow lotus fungus looks like."

Then she picked up a food container and examined it carefully. Aunt Lin, seeing how attentively she looked, and noticing there were other containers nearby, began to explain:

"The snow lotus bacteria are still a bit small right now. They need to be cultured for 5 to 7 days before they can ferment enough yogurt for one person. When cultured, you only need to add enough milk to cover the bacteria each day. If you have time, you can change the milk once a day. This way, the culture will grow faster. And if it grows bigger later, you can cut it open and store it separately so it can continue to multiply. It's best to use glass containers for storing the bacteria. Oh, and also, yogurt must be fermented in a place with a constant flow of air, not in a storage space."

After saying that, Aunt Lin went downstairs.

"Sister, this Aunt Lin knows quite a lot."

"You see, I think most of the people below have left. Captain Lin Feng should be here soon. Let's ask about the auction, and after the auction, we'll leave the Beijing base."

"it is good."
