Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 448 Four Hundred Boxes of Instant Noodles

This number is similar to Xu Yue's initial estimate.

But Zhao Yu was speechless after hearing this.

"Before the chaos of the Red Turban Army, there were 45 households in Youzhou, with a total population of 250 million. I never imagined that in just 20 years, natural disasters and man-made disasters would reduce the population by more than half!"

Looking at the shocked faces of Zhao Yu and others, Xu Yue remained expressionless, put away the data report, got up and left the government office.

Back at the place of residence, Xu Yue went directly into the room, and the spirit body decisively entered the research room.

As soon as she entered, the dazzling red light made her eyes hurt, and her soul body was clear, but it caused her physical discomfort.

The technology tree has grown up, from a small apple tree to a towering tree, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the entire research room.

The extended branches and leaves even covered the boundary of the research room, protruding into an unknown space.

Xu Yue couldn't see the part of the branches hidden by the space, so she could only speculate from the huge trunk above the laboratory, the approximate size of the canopy of the technology tree.

And the huge technology tree is now full of red energy fruits, and that scorching red light is the effect of the superposition of these lights.

Xu Yue squinted her eyes for a while to get used to it, and then she felt that it wasn't so glaring.

Sitting cross-legged on the cool floor of the research room, Xu Yue tirelessly counted the fruits on the tree.

One, two, three.
After counting three times in a row, it was confirmed that the number of training and the population matched, and that there were indeed 1200 extra energy fruits on top of the original remaining energy fruits, so I was relieved.

Xu Yue looked at the red hongzi in front of her, and she didn't find the ecstasy after the upgrade of the technology tree for the first time.

Instead, she was a little confused and didn't know what the technology tree was going to do.

Now collecting famous calligraphy and paintings, as well as historical ancient books can also be exchanged for energy fruit, but it has not increased as much as before the upgrade of the technology tree.

This shows that the main energy source of the technology tree has now become population.

1200 newly added energy fruits, plus the original remaining 200, a total of 1400 energy fruits, such a sufficient 'wallet', Xu Yue dare not exchange randomly.

After staring at the technology tree for a while, and after thinking about unsolvable philosophical problems, Xu Yue directly gave up on pursuing the truth behind the technology tree, took out a pen and paper, and planned the items that need to be exchanged.

Seeds need to be changed, people depend on food, and the foundation of an agricultural country is food.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes, at least one must be replaced.

Every day, she is tired of eating green vegetables, cabbage, and melons, so she can change it to tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers...

Thinking back to the past, the technology tree was extremely stingy, and it was extremely rare to get some cotton and hybrid rice seeds.

Now that there are so many energy fruits, I finally dare to ask for them.

After writing down all the seeds she wanted, Xu Yue paused, struggling for a second between military supplies and engineering tools, and decisively chose engineering tools.

Because many important tools cannot be forged with the current level of smelting, let alone mass-produced.

In order to maximize the value of each energy fruit, Xu Yue would exchange semi-finished products for those who could, and bargain for those who could not.

For example, a military shovel, as long as the shovel does not have a shovel handle, we can make it out of wood anyway.

All pliers tools only need metal parts, rubber wrapping is not needed, we use it like tying cloth strips ourselves.

Those that cannot be saved, such as scissors, combination wrenches, chisels, saws, etc., should be exchanged for a few less, and the groups will rotate them at that time.

There is also a box of measuring tapes. There are steel rulers and tape measures. The accuracy is high, and it is much easier to use than the self-made ones in the past.

Soon, the small research room was filled with boxes and boxes of tools, and Xu Yue exchanged all the tools that could be used now.

Wang Dayou and others also have a lot of tools available, but the batch of tools exchanged by Xu Yue are all made of various composite materials, and the quality is not at the same level as what Wang Dayou and others are making now.

Xu Jiajun's self-made saw would break after a few uses, and then had to be repaired.

And the saw bought from the technology tree should be used carefully, it can be used casually for a year or two.

In the end, out of selfishness, Xu Yue exchanged one energy fruit for five boxes, and exchanged four hundred boxes of instant noodles, spending the last [-] energy fruits.

According to a box of 11 packs, one person eats three packs a day, and [-] boxes of instant noodles, she can eat by herself for [-] years!
Seeing the last ray of red light on the technology tree disappear, Xu Yue finally exited the research room satisfied.

The exchanged materials are still in the research room, packed in a space compression box——Xu Yue and Tech Tree negotiated an additional deal, renting a space compression box for one energy fruit for a day.

Therefore, she had to quickly find a warehouse and unload the exchanged materials.

Especially those [-] boxes of instant noodles, a small research room can't fit them.

After unloading the tools, seeds, and most of the instant noodles from the research room, Xu Yue sent someone to inform Zhao Bei's three brothers and Zhao Yu's family that they were going to have a meal.

"The leader invited our family to dinner?" Zhao Yu asked the soldiers of Xu's army who came to inform him in disbelief.

Are you sure you're not the only one invited?

The soldier said: "I'm sure, what the leader said was to invite Mr. Zhao and your family to have dinner."

"Why?" Zhao Yu asked tentatively, "But is there any happy event?"

The soldier shook his head, saying that he was only responsible for informing, and did not know anything else.

Zhao Yu sent the man to the gate, and went to find his old wife full of doubts.

Ever since Xu's army entered the city, he has been at home idle and lying flat.

As soon as this person lies down, he will find that life is much easier than he imagined.

Although all the Zhuangzi in his hands were taken away, he also compensated him with a lot of money, and with the original family background, he would have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life.

The total assets have indeed shrunk severely, but everyone has saved their lives. The people in the city still respect him very much, and the face Xu Jiajun should give him is not lost at all.

Now the eldest son of the family is doing well and has found a new job in the Xu family army.

As for the disciples who followed behind him in the past, he also recommended them to Chief Xu, and re-arranged errands suitable for them.

As for himself, he practiced Taoism and began to think about what Xu Yue had said, hoping to find some clues about another world.

Occasionally Xu Jiajun came to ask him to do a mediation, and the small life was quite fulfilling.

However, from Mrs. Zhao Yu's point of view, her husband fell from a high platform overnight, unable to accept the reality for a while, and chose to escape from the world.

But the decades of friendship between their husband and wife will never change because of this moment of frustration.

Mrs. Zhao still takes care of her husband's diet and daily life all the time, and cooperates with her husband when she has time, talking about Taoism and the philosophy that Xu Jiajun said.

On the contrary, the relationship between husband and wife is closer than before.

"master."

A servant called softly from outside the door, and Mrs. Zhao, who was learning pinyin with her eldest daughter-in-law in the room, immediately raised her lips.
