Chapter 133
Condiments last quite a while, and a bottle of soy sauce can be used for over half a month.
Because of this, most families don’t stockpile too many condiments.
With the great flood, many households have run out of extra soy sauce and other condiments, relying only on salt for seasoning.
Liang Yuan had already set prices for various supplies; a bottle of soy sauce costs ten fish.
The rarer and more precious the item, the higher its value.
“You keep doing the inventory, I’ll go prepare the supplies p>
Liang Yuan said, then turned and went back to the bedroom.
He opened the system inventory and started preparing the supplies needed according to the list.
Ten minutes later, he handed over all the items one by one to the corresponding people, completing the first round of trading.
Seeing that fish could indeed be exchanged for supplies, the people behind got very excited.
“You can really trade for rice p>
“How much rice does he have at home p>
“Old Sun and Old Qian caught so many fish and are actually spending ten fish to trade for a bottle of soy sauce p>
“I’m sick of eating sea fish every day. I’d exchange for a bottle of soy sauce to change the flavor too p>
“Let’s talk to Old Sun later, see if we can exchange two fish for a small cup p>
“Wow, Mr. Liang’s house even has liquor, Maotai p>
“Who the heck is trading fish for Maotai p>
The discussions at the doorway were incessant, and Liang Yuan shouted, “If you’ve traded for something, just go back and make way for others. Also, it’s not too dark yet, fish are easier to catch at night, so hurry up and catch some more. I have limited supplies for trade p>
Upon hearing this, those who had traded and were still hanging around quickly realized.
Mr. Liang was right. Instead of watching the commotion, it was better to hurry up and catch some fish.
He definitely has a limited amount of supplies. The more they can catch and trade, the better.
So, a crowd of people rushed back to continue catching fish for Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan smiled as he watched these people leave.
After being busy until seven or eight in the evening, the crowd gradually dispersed.
When the last person left, Liang Yuan looked outside and called out, “Next p>
Yang Mei laughed, “Is there anyone left? There’s no one else p>
Liang Yuan immediately shook his head and sighed, “That’s it p>
“Little bro, there are already so many fish. You’ve traded out so many supplies in a single day, isn’t that enough p>
Yang Mei glanced at the room full of fish, feeling a little distressed about the supplies that had been exchanged and couldn’t help but speak up.
Liang Yuan smiled, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing p>
“Alright, you take a rest. I’ll start cleaning the fish. Ask Sister Wu to find someone to handle the fish. We might have to stay up all night.” Find the newest release on
Yang Mei looked at the room full of fish and said, “So many, it might take at least a couple of hours. I’ll cook something for you first p>
Liang Yuan excitedly rubbed his hands, “How many fish are there in total p>
“In total, five hundred seventy-seven fish, including one hundred and two sea shells, more than ten large clams, seven sea turtles, twelve crabs, and six lobsters. Oh, and there’s also something that looks like a sea cucumber. I don’t recognize it; take a look p>
Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up. Another new species?
He immediately went to a water basin and indeed saw a black, soft thing.
From its appearance, it did look a lot like a sea cucumber from before the great flood.
Liang Yuan poked it with a steel rod and found it still alive.
“Is this a mutated creature p>
Liang Yuan wondered, suddenly the sea cucumber-like creature squirted a burst of liquid, splashing it around.
Liang Yuan was startled and stepped back quickly.
The liquid landed on the ground and instantly hit a nearby crab.
The crab’s limbs struggled, but in no time, its claws seemed stuck in the liquid, struggling more and more.
Before long, the liquid solidified, and the crab seemed glued to the ground, unable to move.
Liang Yuan was astonished, “This thing… it’s just like super glue p>
He tried hitting the crab with a crowbar and found that the liquid, once solidified, retained its elasticity like rubber candy. It was hard to break but flexible.
Liang Yuan got interested and fetched a fruit knife to try cutting the solidified liquid.
Of course, before studying the liquid, he killed the crab to avoid losing points in case it died.
The fruit knife cut into the solidified liquid like cutting through leather; very tough.
Yang Mei watched from a distance, “How can this sea cucumber spray glue p>
Liang Yuan rubbed his chin, “Sea creatures are bizarre, and with the added mutation and evolution, all kinds of strange abilities are emerging p>
Yang Mei got interested and suddenly said, “Hey, you guys were having trouble with those short wooden planks, right? What if this liquid can glue those panels together p>
“And it seems like this liquid has good defense power too p>
Liang Yuan’s eyes lit up, “That makes sense. This thing is naturally glue p>
He immediately smiled and hugged the fiery Yang Mei, “Sister Mei, you are my good luck charm, mua p>
Yang Mei blushed and laughed, “I just thought of it. By the way, can this thing float on water? If it has some buoyancy, that would be really great p>
Liang Yuan couldn’t help but kiss her again, “Sweetheart, you’re amazing p>
He immediately threw the crab into a nearby bucket of water.
Sure enough, the glue-like substance floated, indicating it was less dense than water.
