Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 218 Raw Materials Arrived
"Do we have so much food? Remove the "ma" and repeat it in a positive tone, and you'll know whether we have so much food!"

Even in the future, when resources are abundant decades later, there are still 7.13 million to 7.57 million people in the world who are malnourished, and about 29.6% of the world's population (24 billion people) are in a state of moderate or severe food insecurity.

And this number is increasing year by year at a terrifying rate.

But these people definitely don't include Chinese people! (No matter how stressed out we are right now, at least we still have enough to eat.)
"Let me tell you this, even if you go begging on the street, as long as you don't show your payment code right away, you will never go hungry!"

"Especially when you just want food and no money, just go to anybody on the street and tell them you're starving and ask if they can give you something to eat."

"I can't say 100%, but at least half of the people have to be willing to lend a hand! I can't say the food is that good, but at least you can have a full meal!"

"Many restaurants even directly indicate that if you are in need, the meal is free, so just come and eat!"

Lao Luo, Bai Ling and the others were filled with envy and had complicated expressions on their faces.

Ximen Lang continued.

"Of course, I'm not telling you this to prove how noble or wealthy we are. It's to tell you that food is truly plentiful in our area. A pound of grain isn't necessarily worth as much as a bottle of mineral water."

"The reason food prices are so cheap is because of our developed agriculture and our astonishing food reserves."

"The grain stored in granaries across the country alone is nearly 7 million tons! How can this be considered meaningful? Even if not a single grain grows in the fields next year, this much food would still be enough to feed 14 billion people for a whole year!"

In other words, grain really doesn’t taste good if it’s been stored for a long time, and there are too many old grain reserves, which makes it difficult for the market to digest.

Otherwise, even if the number doubled, Ximen Lang would not be surprised at all!

"So, it's just a few million or tens of millions of tons of grain. In our place, let alone just that little bit, even if it's hundreds of millions of tons, we can easily get it out without any trouble at all!"

"It's these grains, right? They're so large in quantity, they must be old grains left over from last year, or even the year before. They must taste worse than new grains. You..."

I was just about to ask Lao Luo and Bai Ling whether they could accept it, out of a sense of responsibility for the world of Sijiucheng.

Thinking of the plight of the world in Sijiu City, where food is almost gone.

Ximen Lang immediately stopped talking about this topic.

Before Bai Ling and Lao Luo, who were speechless, could speak, he immediately changed his words.

"Of course you don't mind this. So, I'll go find Yi Yi and ask her to help with this. But before that."

Originally, Ximen Lang planned to go to the mineral warehouse and transport the minerals that had been transported by various means back to the afterlife, so that Xia Yiyi would know that he was definitely not lying to her.

Take advantage of her happiness and then tell her about this.

But I didn't expect that I hadn't finished speaking yet.

Bai Ling spoke first, interrupting Ximen Lang's words.

"Lao Luo, Hao Pingchuan, you go back first. I have something to tell Alang."

Then, Lao Luo, who seemed to be lost in thought, pulled the tactless Hao Pingchuan away.

Bai Ling directly hooked Ximen Lang's neck in a way that Ximen Lang could least resist.

Due to inertia, I fell onto the sofa, and then nothing happened.

When Ximen Lang was satisfied, he felt that he was unable to rise again and had the will but not the strength. He drifted all the way to the afterlife, but it was already dark.

Then he waited for him to put the various minerals he brought back from the Sijiu City world into a warehouse in the suburbs, then rushed from the warehouse to the mall, bought some souvenirs, and finally arrived at Xia Yiyi's door.
Wow, I’m even later than yesterday.

It was already late at night.

I was really looking forward to it.

But now, after a month of indulgence and being attacked by Bai Ling for a whole night and a whole afternoon, Ximen Lang felt quite tired and immediately became conflicted.

Whether to get in or not, that is the question.

Afraid of being eaten alive by Xia Yisheng.

But what if I don’t go in?

He pointed at her to help him again.

Until there was a creaking sound and the door was opened from the inside.

There was a familiar teasing.

"Why, it's only been one night, and you want to eat noodles again?"

Ximen Lang finally let go of his worries and responded enthusiastically.

"I didn't realize it until you told me. Now that you've said it, I'm really feeling a bit hungry. Is there any noodles at home? Hurry up and cook me two bowls, no, three bowls! I absolutely have to have a good meal!"

Originally, Xia Yiyi thought that yesterday's teasing had worked, and Ximen Lang must have been easily controlled by her when he came to her house again tonight.

She was even secretly thinking in her mind how she would reject him after teasing him to the point where he couldn't stop.

It can be seen that Ximen Lang really came here just to eat noodles, and even his stomach began to rumble in response.

Now it’s Xia Yiyi’s turn.

"What's going on? Are you really here to eat noodles?"

"What else? I'm telling you, I've been hungry all day. If you don't count the half bowl of noodles you dragged to the suburban warehouse last night, I had only just finished half a bowl, I haven't eaten in a day and a half."

"Not only have I not eaten, but I've also been doing physical labor for so long. Under such circumstances, the fact that I can stand and talk to you is already a gifted and extraordinary person. Why would I need a bicycle?"

After saying that, he saw Xia Yiyi still standing there in a daze, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Ximen Lang, who was getting hungrier the more he talked, couldn't help but urge.

"Hurry up, don't just stand there, go cook some noodles! Can't you see I'm starving?"

He threw the things he bought onto the sofa, pushed Xia Yiyi's back, and pushed her into the kitchen.

In Xia Yiyi's extremely speechless silence, he almost forced her to quickly make her a few large bowls of noodles.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of noodles, Ximen Lang finally regained his energy and vitality.

While Ximen Lang was eating noodles, Xia Yiyi, who was already very smart, finally figured out the whole story through Ximen Lang's behavior, expression, and loopholes in his words.

Seeing Bai Ling is really too much and so shameless!

In order to prevent Ximen Lang from falling at her feet, she actually used this trick on herself.

Just as he was about to speak, he stabbed Ximen Lang a few times and put some eye drops on Bai Ling.

Ximen Lang, who was not worried at all, finally spoke with a full stomach.

"Hey, I was so busy eating noodles that I forgot to tell you. Um, the first batch of raw materials has arrived."

"!!! What? It's in the account?! Where is it?"

"Where else could it be? It's piled up in the warehouse. Where else could it be?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yiyi snatched away the bowl that Ximen Lang had just finished half of.

I completely ignored Ximen Lang's shouts that I hadn't finished eating yet, and pulled Ximen Lang towards the suburban warehouse.
