After a while, Zhou Zhengping and his party had brought everyone into the canteen.
In the cafeteria, several people were waiting. When they saw them coming in, they quickly came over to greet them.
The leader was Ding Qiurou. She paid attention to Zhou Zhengping at first glance. Seeing that he was fine, she felt slightly relieved. Then she said to Cao Jingshan and his party: "We have prepared some hot soup and hot water. If you need it, you can get it yourself. Those who have bowls use their own, and those who don’t have bowls, we prepared some bamboo tubes, each worth 2 copper coins.”
It is not unaffordable to provide free bamboo tubes to these people, but Ding Qiurou does not intend to start this.
After all, realistically speaking, there will only be more and more survivors in the future.
Who can use their own interests to support the good intentions of providing it for free!
Therefore, although she immediately approached the residents in the territory who made bamboo tubes and asked them to provide bamboo tubes for the new survivors, she asked them to sell them at normal prices.
As soon as he heard that the goods were being sold according to the price, the resident willingly took out his stockpile and even started making them on the spot.
As for Cao Jingshan and the others, they had all experienced high prices in their previous territory, so 2 copper coins really didn't seem expensive to them at this time.
After hearing this, many people immediately went to the person selling bamboo tubes to buy them, and as soon as they finished buying, they went to get the hot soup.
They were all soaked and needed something hot to warm themselves up!
2 copper coins are nothing.
Seeing that these people didn't care about 2 copper coins all day long, Ding Qiurou continued to remind them, "There are steamed buns and white porridge over there at the canteen window. Each steamed bun costs 2 copper coins, and a bowl of white porridge costs 2 copper coins."
After listening to Ding Qiurou's words, everyone dispersed in the canteen instantly, and many people crowded to the window to buy steamed buns and porridge.
Many people were sitting at the dining table or on the floor, eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, and their whole beings emitted a different kind of brilliance.
This light is called...hope.
Even if they don't fully understand this territory, the tip of the iceberg exposed so far tells them that this is a good territory and a territory worth settling in.
While these new survivors were having a good meal, some residents also saw the business opportunities contained in this, and acted quickly, opening "stalls" directly into the canteen.
"I have tops and shorts here, does anyone need them? A set only costs 99 copper coins, which is 1 copper coin cheaper than the ones in the territory!"
"Home shoes only cost 30 copper coins!"
"There are also homemade torches and umbrellas here. Although the umbrellas are not as completely isolated as the hats and cloaks in the territory, they are no problem in covering the rain in the territory."
"..."
Listening to these cries, some people who had already filled their stomachs hurried forward and started buying.
This price is simply ridiculously low for them.
And it’s something we need now, so we have to buy it.
Because the time for their four-piece rainproof suit was up, some residents who were out on missions also took a rest in the canteen and came out to sell their idle useless things.
Looking at the levels of these new survivors, some of the things they have no need for may be of great use to them!
As a result, in a short period of time, the canteen became a small trading market, and there were even some voices of bargaining.
"Can it be cheaper? I want 25 copper coins."
"It's too low, 28 copper coins!"
"Just 25 copper coins! You won't be able to use this thing."
"Okay! Here you go!"
"..."
Cao Jingshan looked at the noisy scene in the cafeteria and felt a little dazed.
If the time changed to an hour ago, could they have imagined such a scene?
unable.
Compared with Canglei Village where they were before, this place is like heaven and earth.
"I'm going to buy some clothes to change." After returning to his senses, Cao Jingshan said to his wife Xu Xin as he looked at his daughter who was immersed in food.
"Go! It's not good to be wet all over." Xu Xinman nodded. At this time, she felt a lot more relaxed. It was obvious that the remaining savings on hand were enough for them to live peacefully in this territory for a while.
Now that I think about it, if so many had not been built in Cang Lei Village...it makes my heartache to recall it.
But just thinking about it, no matter what, Canglei Village protected them in the early stage. If Canglei Village hadn't been there, maybe they would have died outside. That would be the real money and no place to spend it!
"good."
"Let's take a look, how are the houses here sold? If they are not expensive, let's buy them!" After a moment of hesitation, Xu Xinman said.
Although they had made good plans before coming here, they would never pay high prices to become residents in the next territory, but would become vagrants, nor would they spend high prices to buy a house.
But after entering the territory, looking at such a territory, the thought of being rejected by them came to mind again.
This is the law of true fragrance that no one can escape.
"Well, I'll ask you when I return the cloak." Cao Jingshan also agreed with Xu Xinman's opinion.
Later, after Cao Jingshan went to buy three sets of clothes and came back, he headed directly towards Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng.
He could tell that these two people were on official missions for the territory and should have an unusual relationship with the lord.
"Thank you for the cloak." Cao Jingshan took the opportunity to return the cloak and said to the two of them.
Li Xingteng accepted it and returned the cloak to a soldier behind him.
Cao Jingshan quickly said thank you to the other party.
After the greetings, Cao Jingshan hesitated and said to Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng: "I want to know about the situation in Hope Village from you."
Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng looked at each other, nodded and said, "Just ask! It just so happens that we also want to know about the situation outside!"
"Who is the lord of the territory?"
Hearing this, Li Xingteng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have a lord in your territory?"
"Yes, but the lord of our territory charges higher fees. Because of his status as lord, there are more people around him. It's a pity that even if we paid enough money, we couldn't protect the territory." At this point, Cao Jingshan felt frustrated.
"There don't seem to be any lords in our territory. Everything we receive is from the doomsday game panel. The upgrade of the territory seems to be spontaneous. At least so far, no one in our territory has come forward to say that he is a lord." Li Xingteng said directly. replied.
He doesn't want to investigate whether it is true or not now, as long as the territory can develop stably.
That's what most people think.
Of course, in order to avoid trouble, let’s pretend that there are no lords in their territory!
This may really help manage the survivors who come to Hope Village in the future.
"How is it possible without a lord?" Cao Jingshan said subconsciously, not believing it.
Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng both laughed and said nothing.
Cao Jingshan also understood that there was no answer to this matter, and he could only observe it by himself.
"What about the territorial residences? How many are needed?"
"You can get a first-level residential house with 6 gold coins. As for the 2-story small building, it is a second-level residential house, which costs 12 gold coins." Zhou Zhengping said, "In addition to buying, you can also rent it. A first-level residential house costs 100 copper coins a day, and a second-level residential building costs 100 copper coins per day." Residential accommodation costs 200 copper coins per day.”
Cao Jingshan listened and was once again shocked by the prices in Hope Village. "The houses in Canglei Village cost 20 gold coins, and they can only be purchased and cannot be rented out. Some people have bought them to rent out, but the rent is not cheap."
“Where do the people who can’t buy live?”
"They just found open space to live in the territory." Cao Jingshan said, "So the whole territory is quite chaotic."
"Where's the building?"
"Our territory used to be a level 0 village. At first, there were only two buildings, a wood workshop and farmland. The wood workshop sold weapons and the farmland was used for planting. They all just appeared yesterday. We are very happy. After buying weapons from the territory, Just when I was thinking about having tools to deal with the monsters, the territory was invaded that night, and many survivors died..." When retelling, Cao Jingshan couldn't hide his sadness, it was a nightmare that he would never forget.
That scene is one that no one will ever want to look back on.
"It should be because of the upgrade of the territory. Our territory is now a level 1 village. On the night we upgraded, we were also attacked by monsters. After we survived, the territory became like this." Zhou Zhengping said.
"That's great." Cao Jingshan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
"In addition to the Lord's Mansion and the wall, our territory now has 6 types of buildings, including a canteen, a blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, a residence, the Hall of Heroes, and a grocery store. You should be able to guess the functions of most of the buildings, including the Hall of Valor. It is used to summon NPCs. So far, we have two local NPCs in our territory, who serve as the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop and the tailor in the tailor shop. The rainproof equipment we wear is made by this tailor." Li Xingteng continued to introduce on the side stand up.
Sure enough, I saw Cao Jingshan looking confused and surprised again.
Li Xingteng patted Cao Jingshan on the shoulder, "If you choose to settle in Hope Village, you won't be disappointed."
"...Yeah." Cao Jingshan nodded blankly.
"You will know other specific matters if you stay for a long time."
"Yeah." Cao Jingshan realized what he was doing now, his eyes gleaming a little.
Then I thought of Yu Ziming and his party who robbed them. They also came towards the Hope Village. I wonder if they have already arrived?
He quickly said to Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng: "Is there any robbery in your territory? Just before you found us, we were robbed of a sum of gold coins by a group of people. They came to Hope Village one step ahead of us."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhengping's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Just when they were about to ask for details, Xu Chengyi, who had been guarding the city gate before, led a group of people into the cafeteria.
The moment he saw them, Cao Jingshan pointed at Yu Ziming without hesitation.
"It's them!"
