Chapter 53: The Dragon Maiden Who Grows Mushrooms (Seeking recommendations, seeking favorites)
With the help of Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan, Chen Xin quickly moved all the supplies they brought into his shelter and stored them in the storeroom.
As the supplies were too numerous, the storeroom ended up being packed to the brim, forcing some items to be placed in the garage next to Chen Xin’s SUV.
"Why did you trade so many supplies if it was only for ingredients? Most of them are building materials." Mo Qingyan took off her gloves, brushed off the dust from moving supplies, and looked curiously at the mound of items before her, wondering why Chen Xin needed so many resources. "Even if you wanted to expand the greenhouse, you wouldn’t need so much, right?"
Standing beside her, Qin Lan, upon hearing Mo Qingyan’s question, also looked at Chen Xin with curiosity, eager to know why he exchanged for so many supplies.
"I just thought to remodel the shelter before the temperature drops below zero!" Chen Xin laughed, giving an explanation that was not a lie but didn’t fully reveal the truth either.
Actually, expanding the greenhouse does require plenty of materials, but Chen Xin had clearly acquired extra during the trade.
The disaster hadn’t struck long ago, making it relatively easy to gather supplies, so it was wise to stockpile as much as possible now before the situation worsens and resources become scarce.
"Remodel the shelter? You alone? Can you do it, or do you need me and Aning to help?" Mo Qingyan seemed startled upon hearing Chen Xin’s intention to renovate the shelter, as she did not recall that he possessed skills in that area.
Faced with Mo Qingyan’s offer to help, Chen Xin, though grateful for her willingness to assist at such a time, shook his head and declined, "No need, the workload isn’t large; I can handle it myself. There’s not much else to do in the shelter anyway, so it can pass the time."
