Chapter 738: Chapter 289: The Shock Brought by Yangshan Shelter_5
The four of them sat at the dining table and began to savor a feast they hadn’t had in half a year.
"This is delicious, just so delicious."
"This meat is so aromatic, I can’t remember the last time I tasted soy sauce."
"Oh my, this braised meat is so tender and flavorful, it melts in your mouth."
"Wait, are the resources here so plentiful? There’s even a hint of sweetness in this braised pork; do you still have sugar here?"
...
The group exclaimed in surprise as they ate.
They were utterly shocked by the material conditions of Yangshan Shelter.
It wasn’t the abundance of red and white meat that surprised them, but the fact that there were plenty of spices and condiments.
To know that over at Jieshi Academy, even salt was scarce. They would use it sparingly because once it’s gone, it’s gone.
As for soy sauce and sugar, those were even more unattainable.
In Zhang Rongrong’s memory, she hadn’t tasted sugar since the great flood.
But here at Yangshan, they were extravagant enough to use sugar as a seasoning?
Old Yang, hearing their astonishment, couldn’t help but feel proud and smug about being part of Yangshan Shelter.
He chuckled and said, "You all seem so surprised. Maybe you didn’t know that here at Yangshan, over by Martial King Pavilion, we planted a lot of sugarcane, and we process our sugar from that."
"Sugarcane fields? You still have sugarcane here?"
"Yes, I heard they’ve even set up a sugar processing workshop to handle these things," Old Yang replied.
Nowadays, Martial King Pavilion, Meihai Garden, and the mining area each have their roles, with numerous workshops built.
Of course, calling them workshops is a bit much; they’re really just small craftsman shops, considering the number of people in Yangshan Shelter.
After the meal, Li Xiangyang was so full he could hardly stand.
They had eaten too much.
Even Zhang Rongrong was visibly stuffed; it had been too long since they had such delicious food.
Old Yang paid with Points, then turned and called, "Come on, I’ll take you upstairs to the supermarket. Let me tell you, the second and third floors of Yangshan Shopping Center are the core."
Their interest visibly piqued, and with the meal finished, they were even more excited about Yangshan Shopping Center.
As they climbed upstairs and entered, they saw walls lined with all kinds of small goods.
The deeper they went, the more windows they found, offering clothes, shoes, socks, and everything you could think of.
The entire second floor was neatly organized into various sections: everyday items, clothing and accessories, kitchen supplies, and more.
What attracted Zhang Rongrong the most, naturally, were the everyday items.
She immediately spotted things like sanitary pads and toilet paper on the shelf, her eyes widening in excitement, "You even have toilet paper? And sanitary pads!"
She quickly turned to Old Yang and asked, "How many Points are these?"
Old Yang said, "The prices are listed below the items, but let me be clear, you have to use your own Points to buy things here; I already treated you to a meal."
Zhang Rongrong didn’t hesitate, "How do we exchange for Points? Uncle Lin, I want to buy some things."
Li Xiangyang glanced at some toothbrushes and toothpaste, looking tempted; his toothbrush was so worn out, he desperately needed a new one.
Don’t underestimate these items; without them, there’s no hygiene, and bad breath becomes unbearable.
Yang Wei was eyeing the razors, tired of the pain from shaving with a sickle every day.
But none of them had any Points.
They didn’t even have membership cards yet!
Old Yang laughed, "No rush, no rush. The stuff will still be here. Yang Mei is handling your membership cards; you should get them soon. Then you can check the tavern area in the food court on the first floor for tasks to earn Points."
"If all else fails, you can go mining. Here in Yangshan, there are plenty of ways to earn Points. Don’t worry."
"I’ll show you around first, and you can take note of what you want and how many Points you need. Then you can earn them later."
And so began their shopping trip.
Zhang Rongrong was thrilled, spending a long time browsing through windows displaying cosmetics, skincare products, clothes, and pants.
The men, meanwhile, focused on practical items. Li Xiangyang headed straight for the food section, meticulously noting down the prices of essentials like rice, flour, oil, and seasonings.
Yang Wei was just as focused on these items, knowing they could wear tattered clothes but couldn’t go without food.
Yang Wei said to Li Xiangyang, "Brother Xiangyang, this Yangshan Shelter is like paradise. Compared to this, our place isn’t a shelter at all; it’s a refugee camp."
Li Xiangyang sighed, "Now I understand why Mr. Liang holds such a high position here."
"It’s not just his strength that earns respect; it’s because he built this Yangshan Shelter and established Yangshan Shopping Center."
"He brought these people not just safety, but also hope for survival."
Yang Wei couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Xiangyang, do you think our Jieshi Academy could develop into a shelter like this?"
Li Xiangyang, hearing this, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No way."
"Huh? Why not?" Yang Wei asked.
Li Xiangyang pointed at the vast supermarket before them, "Forget everything else, where would we even get these supplies?"
