Chapter 1134 Not a Good Start
Lu Pingping strolled on the wooden pier, feeling the sweet sea breeze.
What you see is basically the ocean, but the fact that the giant beast in the distance is slowly turning over and then being swallowed up by a larger whale makes it clear that this is a different world and not the earth.
Different from the familiar pier near the pier, this simple pier looks like a pile of trees.
Large plants called "driftwood" have become the foundation of the city, but they also make the urban area appear rougher and primitive.
Sitting on the top of a log in the corner of the pier, Lu Pingan looked at the busy scene below, like an outsider watching a play.
There is an old tugboat, dragging a large beast with six legs like a hippopotamus slowly approaching the port area. It is a horse beast, which is named by outsiders based on its cry of "yayao".
horse? It is said that they taste a bit like horse flavor, which is a delicate balance between delicious and unpleasant. Lu Pingping thinks it is normal, but he can't refuse to eat it. After all, it is the cheapest and easiest protein here.
Soon, it will be towed into the meat processing factory on the dock. The fresh meat will be sold on the spot, while the second-class meat will be turned into canned military rations, and the fur will become makeshift clothing material.
"It's amazing that the city's total economic output from 'hunting' and 'fishing' is surprisingly high."
Wandering in the wasteland full of giant beasts, you can easily harvest a large amount of "materials" just by gathering and hunting. If the supply is stable, the industry and processing industry can naturally make stable profits.
Lu Ping'an held his chin with his hands and watched the sunset slowly setting. After watching it for about ten minutes, the sky slowly turned dark.
But this does not mean that the world and this city have entered the night. There is a faint silver light floating on the sea, and there is something vaguely floating. It is particularly beautiful and particularly deadly. As Lu Pingping knows, these "auras" "There are at least a dozen extremely aggressive creatures with extraordinary combat power among them.
Without enough strength, this beautiful ocean will be fatal.
"Has it been three days?"
When he first arrived, Lu Ping An was not in a hurry to contact the locals or start working. After confirming the safety of the surroundings, he temporarily disbanded the war group. His companions needed time and energy to adapt to the surrounding environment. Lu Ping An was too lazy to take care of this process. .
In this process, you will naturally become familiar with this unknown world, get to know local connections, collect local intelligence, and let everyone move freely, and there are often surprises.
As an explorer, Lu Pingan is also a veteran, and as a manager leading a team, Lu Pingan does not need to use strict discipline and harsh instructions to gather people and establish prestige.
Even if there is no courtyard, he is sure to use common interests and systems to win over the team, let alone now that there is a courtyard. It is impossible to leave Baoshan unused. Just "hometown dishes" are enough to win people's hearts.
"A cabbage here is actually sold for the price of gold. It's a bit ridiculous."
Perhaps the most helpless thing for the Dongguo people who came here is that due to the extreme lack of soil resources, growing vegetables here has become an extremely luxurious "entertainment activity". The small amount of output makes the vegetables here countless more expensive than meat. times.
"Haha, it seems like you can make a lot of money just by selling vegetables."
After many years of good habits, there is always a "grain field" in Ping'an's courtyard, which contains a variety of demonized grain and vegetable species. As long as his courtyard operates normally, it is basically impossible for him to starve or thirst to death.
Under normal circumstances, the precious transportation capacity of Shenzhou will naturally not be used to transport vegetables. The long-term freezing technology is not easy to use in Shenzhou.
So, these days, when Lu Ping'an was in contact with other forces, he started to serve "hometown dishes" directly. After the treat, he brought a box with him. The effect was strangely good. Many local bosses came to eat at meal time, which made Lu Ping'an Ping An feels a little numb.
But from another perspective, "rich" outsiders are naturally welcome, especially now that Lu Ping'an's team is not well-known (current news here is still a year ago).
Of course, Lu Ping'an also successfully earned a lot of gold coins. He planned to open a "hometown cuisine" restaurant. On the one hand, he would satisfy Zhixi's dream of being a chef, and at the same time, he would also earn more gold coins to make strategic reserves.
Lu Ping'an is not in a hurry. He is really not in a hurry. Blindly pursuing speed is meaningless. The war here is measured in years, but in fact it has lasted for thousands of years. No one or any force can stop it in a short period of time. 's continues.
A "little shrimp" like myself, that is, a drop of water thrown into the tide of history, can only be pushed along by other waves, and it doesn't matter where it goes.
".Are there any disputes again?"
Looking at the disputes in the dock area, Lu Ping'an sighed and had no intention of taking care of it.
Below is a group of people from the Long Hand Clan, surrounding a human being, talking and gesturing as if they were talking about something. But the man just shook his head and ignored it completely.
Is it arrears of wages? Is cheap labor revolting? No, the reality is actually more ruthless.
".Please let them join us so that our wages can be reduced."
".No salary required. As long as you have a stutter."
"master"
Feng'er conveyed the words that Lu Ping'an didn't want to hear. Some things were really crueler than imagined.
How could those newly arrived "outsiders" come here to ask for wages? They are so cheap that even the employer feels sorry for them. Now the newcomers are actually looking for a job just to have food to eat, and the various human resources work in the dock area In fact, it has been overloaded for a long time. A dozen people can't wait to move a box together.
There are some things that outsiders cannot and cannot control.
Do you ask those dock owners to hire more workers? The cumulative problems of food and shelter for those long-handed people can also make the dock bosses bankrupt. If you hire just one person today, there may be twenty people tomorrow, and you can hire two thousand people after half a month.
The Long Hands are worse off than their fellow tribesmen on Earth, but it seems that the arrival of humans is indeed a good thing for them. At least there is finally a strong race that has no intention of putting it on the table, and is even willing to provide a certain amount of food. survival resources
"Ping An Lu, if circumstances permit, can you help me?"
Thinking of last night, when Xia Qin came to see her privately and asked her to find a solution, Lu Ping'an felt a little headache.
She would want to help, which is indeed her usual practice of privately calling it "the team's conscience/Lu Ping'an's external conscience". Looking for Lu Ping'an in private, whether he agrees or not, will not affect the team atmosphere and Lu's prestige. ,only.
"Do you really think of me as a Tathagata? There's nothing I can do about this."
Lu Pingan directly refused. The current situation was unclear on one hand, but more importantly, it was a bottomless pit that could pull anyone and any force into it.
"Let's walk and see first"
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly, turned around and left, preparing to return to his temporary residence.
Out of sight, out of mind, let’s not look at the head office.
The boy's departure did not affect anything, but a dozen minutes later, an adult man came over, holding a recruitment sign and shouting directly from the dock.
"The hometown restaurant is about to open for business. We are recruiting ten porters, six cooks, and some handymen. They don't have much money, but they will take care of the food."
In an instant, everything in front of him was full.
