Chapter 164 Bartering
Pei Yu blushed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, ancestor."

There was no sign of discomfort on her face, just a little shy.

Yunzhen stopped teasing him and turned to other important matters.

"The research institute took away so many plants and animals before. Did they come up with any results?"

Pei Qinian knew about this, so he answered: "There are some achievements. The current main research direction is on nutrient solution improvement and related pharmaceutical agents."

"However, a large number of experiments have shown that the therapeutic effects of nutrient solutions or medicines are not as good as those of fresh fruits and vegetables eaten directly."

"If we want to improve the physical fitness of interstellar humans and restore normal fertility, we probably have to eat three meals a day like we did on Blue Planet."

Such research results are not surprising.

In fact, in modern times on Blue Star, many doctors would also say that compared to long-term use of supplements, the best health benefits are achieved by eating nutritious, fresh ingredients.

The operating mechanism of the human body is complex and sophisticated. Supplementing a single element or medicine is indeed not as effective as a normal schedule and three meals a day.

Improving physical fitness is a long-term task. Even with better nutrient solutions and medicines, it will be difficult to see obvious results in a short period of time.

"As for the animals... the farm is going pretty well, but the fish farming is not going so well. The survival rate of the fry is only about 80%. The officer in charge of the fish farming is so anxious that his hair is almost falling out."

Yun Zhen couldn't help laughing: "It's normal to have losses when raising fish. Some fish fry are born with weak constitutions and are difficult to keep alive from the beginning."

"An 80% survival rate is already quite impressive. We can slowly explore and practice it in the future."

The Interstellar Xia Kingdom is now starting from scratch, and it lacks relevant talent and knowledge reserves.

I remember that the Xia Kingdom on Blue Star experienced the war of the century, and it took several decades to gradually prosper.

Interstellar humans are so smart and the objective environment is also good, so it should not take that much time. Within 10 years, the ecology will definitely be restored and we will be able to live a life with plenty of fish and rice and three meals a day.

"However, now that Xia Country has a food source, there is no need to import exotic animals and plants from other countries in the Interstellar Alliance."

"How will those countries react? I guess we can't hide the large-scale breeding and planting from them, right?"

Previously, the food chain of the interstellar Xia Kingdom collapsed, and it had to export large quantities of high-grade minerals every year and trade exotic plants and animals with other countries in the alliance.

Those interstellar natives have been using this matter to control the Xia Kingdom. Not only have the prices they offer been increasing year by year, but they are also always delaying delivery and short on weight, with ugly faces that look like they're hoping the Xia people will starve to death sooner rather than later.

The alien animals and plants in the interstellar space are not good things either. They cannot be cooked and eaten directly. Just like the contaminated animals originally from the Xia country, they have to go through many processing procedures, detoxify and remove radiation, and then be made into nutrient solution before they can be eaten.

The interstellar country of Xia is rich in mineral resources, and other countries in the alliance have long coveted it.

If the mineral exports were suddenly cut off, others would definitely notice something was wrong. Yun Zhen was worried that they would come up with some dirty tricks to cause trouble.

Pei Qinian said: "The news has not yet spread widely, and even within the Xia Kingdom Star Region, few people know about the situation."

"Several powerful countries in the alliance were quite alert, but they just thought we wanted to negotiate terms and didn't notice the return of animals and plants from Blue Star."

"All farmlands and breeding farms have been guarded more strictly. Apart from the damage caused by the robot attack, there have been no problems since then."

Yun Zhen felt relieved after hearing this and talked to them about a lot of work matters.

At the end of the conversation, I realized that the topic of the second half of the small family reunion had deviated from the main business.

Xiao Yinyin didn't understand a few words throughout the whole process and fell asleep beside her brother's bed.

When she woke up from her nap, the adults were already busy with their own things.

Yunzhen smiled and handed her a box of candies, telling her little grandson to only eat two at a time.

Then I opened the online store page and started to replenish the stock.

Yunzhen thought it was time to add something new to the online store.

But this time, she didn't want to trade with credit points.

The interstellar credit points are of no use to her, at most they can be used to save some pocket money for Yinyin.

She wanted to barter for some special or interesting interstellar products. Yunzhen went out to the pet market for a look.

Then I went into a store specializing in aquatic animals and customized three high-end aquariums from the owner.

The large fish tank chosen is one with an intelligent control system that can automatically control temperature, filter and oxygenate.

The dimensions are 2 meters long, 60 centimeters wide and 2 meters high, and it is a large item to place at home.

Six types of ornamental fish were selected that can be mixed and raised, including guppies, zebrafish, moonfish, mollies, mickey fish and angelfish.

The interior of the fish tank will also be decorated with landscape, using real aquatic plants, fake aquatic plants and landscaping stones to simulate the seabed, and with the addition of neon lights, a magnificent landscape aquarium can be created.

In addition to fish, Yunzhen also customized landscape breeding boxes for turtles and hamsters.

There are 30 of each type of fish in a single landscape box, 8 turtles and hamsters each, all in pairs, half male and half female.

After the customization was completed, Yunzhen took photos and videos and put them on the online store page for display.

These animals will temporarily stay in pet shops, where they are asked to be raised by the shop owners and brought back when needed.

Yunzhen set the trading rules to barter. As long as the buyer can bring something that impresses her, she can exchange it for the animal breeding box she wants.

After finalizing the new animals, Yunzhen also put some potted fruit trees on the shelves.

Star fruit, peach, pomegranate, kumquat, grape and strawberry, 20 pots of each on the shelf.

The main purpose of selling potted plants is to promote sales, so transactions are still conducted with credit points, but the prices are more expensive.

These potted fruit trees are not tall, the diameter of the pots is about 60 cm, and the whole pots are very heavy.

If the buyer grows it well, dozens of fruits can be produced at a time.

Yunzhen strongly encourages everyone to learn how to grow crops. The sense of accomplishment and gain after hard work is something that is difficult to experience when raising pets.

The number of fans of the online store has reached 80.

As soon as new products are put into the store, many interstellar humans who have been waiting for a long time immediately flock in.

After snapping up the usual vegetables and fruits, they also discovered landscape breeding boxes and plant pots.

The potted plants are fine, although each pot costs 100 million credit points, which is so expensive that it makes people sigh.

There were many people who could afford it, and all 120 pots were sold out in just half an hour.

When we arrived at the animal landscape breeding box, everyone was dumbfounded.

What do the stores mean by “amazing”, “special” and “interesting”?
The transaction requirements were too general and they didn't know which direction to work towards.

Every online store on StarCraft has a public message board where buyers can rate and review products, as well as leave comments to the store.

On that day, everyone gathered in the message board of Yin Yin's Animal and Plant Encyclopedia, discussing or asking what kind of things they should give in exchange for the animal breeding boxes from the store.

1L@我在荷荷店我可以吃原料的服装: [The aquarium is so pretty! The hamster is so cute! I want both! Ahhh! Tell the store owner what you want to exchange! Don’t delay me from taking the box home! ]

2L@Eating oranges of course requires eating the peel: [I think I am quite amazing, special, and interesting. Shop owner, how about I give myself to you? Your shop is so busy, don’t you need part-time workers? ]

3L@楼上在想屁吃: [The one above me, look at my ID, will it be your turn to work? If they really want to recruit people, I will use my connections and pay money to get in! ]

4L@老子很富: [Thanks for the great advice above. I will use my connections right away! ]

There are many high-ranking people in the interstellar world who know the background of the online store.

As soon as the animal breeding boxes came out, someone immediately came to Pei Qinian for help.

That entire landscape breeding box looks so impressive when placed at home that everyone wants to use connections to buy one.

They said they would spend any amount of money, and someone even offered 10 million!

Pei Qinian smiled and declined: "I can't make the decision on this matter, so everyone should use their brains to think of what they can use to exchange for the box."
