Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 87: Chapter 79: Exchange Fish for Rice, Then Enter a Lottery

”Knock, knock, knock...”

The door of apartment 3201 was knocked on.

Yang Mei hurriedly got up and said, ”I’ll go take a look.”

She quickly threw on some clothes and ran out of the bedroom.

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, but he let her go.

Once she reached the living room, Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

The door was knocked on again, and she quickly said, ”I’m coming, I’m coming.”

She hurriedly put on her clothes, adjusted her hair, and walked to the door.

She peered through the peephole, then opened the door, saying, ”Ding Yan, you’ve come!”

Seeing Yang Mei, Ding Yan smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly looked at Yang Mei’s face and asked with confusion, ”Yang Mei, what’s happened to your mouth?”

”Ah? What... what?”

Yang Mei panicked and quickly covered her mouth.

Ding Yan felt strange and said, ”Your mouth is very red and a bit swollen.”

Yang Mei quickly turned around with her back to Ding Yan and said, ”Ah, oh, I... I was trying a new dish... there’s a bottle of chili sauce, I... was testing the food.”

Ding Yan suddenly understood and said, ”Be careful, it’s summer, eating too much chili can cause inflammation.”

She then said, ”I don’t have much to do, just wanted to ask Liang Yuan when we are heading to the second unit.”

Yang Mei hurriedly said, ”Brother, brother, Ding Yan is looking for you.”

Liang Yuan heard the commotion outside and walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing him with his upper body bare, Ding Yan was momentarily stunned.

Her face turned red as she recalled Yang Mei’s slightly swollen lips.

She glared at Liang Yuan and then turned to leave.

Liang Yuan was stunned and asked, ”Wait, why did she leave?”

Yang Mei quickly turned back, only to hear a ”bang” as the door of apartment 3202 across the hall closed.

Her face turned red, and she stamped her foot in panic, saying, ”Oh no, oh no, she figured it out.”

Liang Yuan was puzzled, ”Figured what out?”

Yang Mei angrily glanced at him and said, ”Look at my mouth... hmm...”

Before she could finish, Liang Yuan lowered his head and kissed her.

However, this time it only lasted a few seconds before they heard knocking on the door again.

Liang Yuan frowned, letting go of the struggling Yang Mei, and looked through the peephole.

Outside, it wasn’t Ding Yan from across the hall, but a resident from the first unit they had met before.

He raised an eyebrow and said to Yang Mei, ”You go back to the bedroom.”

Yang Mei immediately understood, quickly saying, ”Be careful.”

She obediently went back to the bedroom.

Liang Yuan opened the door and looked at the two people outside.

These two middle-aged men were residents of the nineteenth floor.

One seemed to be named Hu Weimin, and the other Liu Danian.

”Are you looking for me?”

Hu Weimin hurriedly smiled and said, ”Mr. Liang, is it true what you said about exchanging fish for food?”

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, ”Of course it’s true. Did you catch some fish?”

Hu Weimin quickly nodded and said, ”We just went fishing on the first floor, got lucky, and caught three fish. Old Liu.”

Liu Danian immediately raised his right hand, holding a bucket.

In the bucket were three lively mutated sardines.

Liang Yuan smiled, ”Three fish, quite large ones.”

Liu Danian asked nervously, ”Mr. Liang, what can these three fish be exchanged for in terms of food?”

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, ”Do you want to exchange for snacks or main meals?”

Liu Danian quickly asked, ”How do we exchange snacks? How do we exchange main meals?”

Liang Yuan said, ”For snacks, I have many options: instant noodles, chicken feet, sunflower seeds, chocolate, waffles, wafer biscuits, and drinks. One fish can be exchanged for two packs of snacks.”

”For main meals, I have rice, flour, red beans, sorghum, cornmeal. If you want to exchange rice or flour, five fish can get you one measuring cup.”

”For other grains, ten fish can get you one measuring cup.”

One measuring cup of rice can cook a substantial amount of food, enough for a three-person family to have a meal.

As for the grains, they are even more precious.

Liang Yuan found very little of these grains in Liu Erlong’s supplies.

These grains aren’t like rice and flour, which are packed in large bags of ten or twenty pounds.

They come in small cans or bags.

Their scarcity makes them more valuable.

Hu Weimin’s face darkened; he thought the price was steep.

Because they could eat five fish over two days.

But exchanging for rice or flour could only provide one meal.

Liang Yuan was not in a hurry and said with a smile, ”It’s entirely up to you if you want to exchange. I won’t force you.”

”But let me remind you, my stock of rice and flour is limited. If you exchange sooner, you get it sooner. If you wait until everything’s gone, there won’t be anything left to exchange.”

Hu Weimin was stunned and then understood.

Right, fish from the flood can be caught anytime.

But Liang Yuan’s rice and flour are non-renewable resources.

Each time you use some, there’s less left.

Rare things are valuable, after all.

Beside him, Liu Danian also realized this and quickly asked another question, ”Is the exchange based on the number of fish, not their weight? What if I caught ten pounds of fish or one pound of fish, is it the same?”

Liang Yuan smiled, ”It’s the same, as long as they are alive.”

Liu Danian was stunned, and Hu Weimin was even more shocked.

What kind of logic is this?

Who exchanges food without considering weight?

In that case, he’ll keep the big ones to eat and exchange the small ones, making a huge profit.

Liang Yuan smiled; he didn’t care about the size of the fish.

Big fish don’t necessarily have higher mutation levels.

He needed points; one fish represented certain points.

Quantity is naturally more important than weight.

”Do you want to exchange?” Liang Yuan asked directly when he saw the two were still thinking.

Hu Weimin thought for a moment and looked at Liu Danian next to him.
