Chapter 351 Researching New Potatoes

"Then thank you, base commander. However, we still have to collect the fees. We just arrived in Jiangcheng, and we can't set this precedent. After all, officials have to act in an official manner."

Han Ying and her friends don't lack the money for digging a well, so they can pay for it themselves and feel more at ease.

And what Han Ying said was not wrong. When the large army first arrived in Jiangcheng, they helped them dig wells without any compensation, which was bound to give people a chance to criticize them.

"Okay, let's do business."

Kozin didn't insist either.

We also talked about the current situation of the Pengcheng Base and mentioned Professor Li.

Professor Li is currently researching new potato seedlings with the research institute, so I'm afraid he won't be able to come to Jiangcheng so soon.

When they heard that they were going to research new potato seedlings, Han Ying and Lu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.

This new type of potato seedlings did not exist in their previous life. It was not until shortly before their death that the authorities developed a new type of corn.

It is said to be a new type of corn, but in fact it is the offspring of mutant corn that has been improved to be able to continue to reproduce.

I didn’t expect that in this life, I have already started researching new types of potatoes.

If Han Ying's guess was correct, mutant potatoes should have been discovered at the base.

The new type of potato is most likely developed through research on mutant potatoes.

"Base Commander, there is actually something I want to know from you."

Before the main force arrived, Han Ying wanted to ask Ye Wei and the others about this question, but she also knew that Ye Wei and the others might not know the answer.

Ke Qin looked at Han Ying and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Are we going to rebuild our base in Jiangcheng? Do you have an idea of the approximate scope?"

Han Ying took out a map of Jiangcheng from her backpack and spread it on the table.

"Do you have any favorite places?"

Ke Qin raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people. There was no way these two people would ask him such a question for no reason.

It is very likely that they chose a place, which should be Lu Yuan’s home with a well.

Kozin guessed that what they wanted to ask was whether the selected area would be included in the scope of the base reconstruction.

“My house is still there, right here.”

Lu Yuan pointed out a place on the flat map.

"Here, no wonder you drove this way when you were clearing the way. The straight-line distance is not far, and there is a high possibility that you will be trapped."

There must be a lot of people who have been transferred from the Pengcheng base, but there are very few houses still intact.

Clearing out the large areas of ruins in the city and then rebuilding houses is not the best solution.

Even if you want to rebuild the house, you will choose a more open place that does not require large-scale cleaning.

Then the countryside is a good choice.

"I see."

Lu Yuan nodded and put away the map on the table.

Immediately afterwards, Han Ying mentioned the issue of cement to Ke Qin, saying that she wanted to buy some cement from the government to build the wall.

There is no place to grow crops in this temporary residence, so they will most likely move to Hongmei Village after a while. Lu Yuan has a five-story self-built house there.

But the wall over there was broken, and we didn’t dare to live there until it was rebuilt.

After hearing Han Ying and others' request, Ke Qin pondered for a long time.

He naturally understood what Han Ying and Lu Yuan meant, and wanted them to get into the planting business as soon as possible.

But they can't perform without a venue, and they have already found the venue themselves.

Now all that's left is a wall.

"Although I brought a lot of cement and coagulant this time, they all have their uses, and the amount I can give you is limited."

For the first batch of transfers, the things that could be brought were very limited.

So I can only bring what I will need immediately, and the quantity is not much.

"It's okay. We'll take whatever the government can give us and ask for more next time. Of course, we can exchange it for supplies or points."

Han Ying knew that due to migration, few people were using the points for the time being.

But once we settle down, the points system will be restarted.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

The road conditions from Pengcheng to Jiangcheng are getting better and better, and now the time spent on a round trip can be shortened by at least half.

After finishing the discussion, Han Ying and Lu Yuan took the dog and left Keqin's residence.

When they returned to Building 503 next door, they found Platoon Leader Chen standing at the door waiting for them.

The two remembered that Chen Feihu had just said that he would come to find them after he finished those things.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

But it's almost dawn, so it's time to stop working.

"Sorry, Platoon Leader Chen, I kept you waiting."

Lu Yuan took out the key and quickly opened the door.

They were not afraid that Chen Feihu would see something inside.

The two were very cautious. Before going out, they would check the house to see if there was anything that shouldn't be there.

So even if someone visits unexpectedly, they don't worry about being discovered.

He opened the door and invited Chen Feihu in.

"Your place is really nice. You must have searched many households to find these furniture, right?"

In fact, what Chen Feihu wanted to talk about most was the floor. Their floor was very clean.

A clean floor means there is water to mop the floor.

However, he also heard from Ye Wei and Zhao Lei that Han Ying and others had discovered a well that was still producing water.

"I searched door to door and finally found these few items."

Han Ying patted the wooden sofa under her seat.

The only things in this living room that were originally in this house are a few plastic chairs and the coffee table; everything else was moved from other houses.

If it looks OK and not too damaged and can be repaired, after some tinkering it can become a nice-looking sofa set.

"I won't take up your rest time. I came to see you not only to check out your living environment, but someone also asked me to bring you a few words."

Han Ying and her companions were very familiar with several soldiers at the Pengcheng base, and through them, Chen Feihu gradually became familiar with the two of them.

So it's not surprising that they would ask him to convey a message.

"you say."

Han Ying and Lu Yuan actually guessed it.

"Professor Li asked me to tell you to find more pots and soil as soon as possible. He will bring you good things when he comes."

"Lieutenant Liu said that your two villas were robbed, but the thieves were almost trapped to death in the basement. He said that you two are this!"

As he said this, Chen Feihu gave them a thumbs up.

There was indeed a thief who broke into their villa, but they couldn't get in through the wall, so someone wanted to dig through their basement.

After digging in, several people in the basement screamed in agony, and were eventually discovered by patrolling soldiers.

When they went in, they saw that the entire basement was filled with round glass beads, and on the glass beads were placed strong mouse traps.

After those people walked in, their bodies were covered with rat traps that could not be torn off.

Everyone wanted to escape, but the glass beads under their feet refused to let them.

Everyone was bruised and battered.

When the soldiers went in, they saw those people had mousetrap stuck all over their bodies, trying to climb out using their hands and feet, but they couldn't get out no matter how hard they tried.
