Chapter 186: I have no intention of allocating fresh water to you
“How could that be, we came here with sincerity!
Gu Yang, show our gift to Mr. Li to prove that we are not kidding." Mu Jiu said and looked at Gu Yang.
Gu Yang obediently lifted the box weighing more than 30 kilograms, placed it on the table in front of Mr. Li, and opened it.
But Mr. Li's eyes have been on Gu Yang since he walked over, making Gu Yang feel creepy...
Mu Jiu and Fu Hengyuan naturally also noticed the unusual scrutiny.
"Mr. Li, please look!" Gu Yang spoke, drawing Mr. Li's gaze back to the box in front of him.
President Li then looked down at the table, then reached out and picked up a bag of packaged dried strawberries, and said in surprise:
"There are so many varieties. Are they all grown in your official base?"
Although she was reluctant to believe it, the dried fruits that had been preserved from before the apocalypse to the present day would have gone bad and moldy long ago. How could they be in this quality?
"Mr. Li, would you like to try it? The fruits grown under the extremely hot sun taste even better than the top varieties before the apocalypse!" Mu Jiu introduced.
President Li was moved by what she saw, but after all, this was something sent from outside, so she would not taste it herself. There were people who would do it for her.
So she called the uniformed men guarding the door in and said, "Try these dried fruits and see how they taste."
"Yes!" So two of them stepped forward, tore open the bags of dried tangerines and dried strawberries, and put the dried fruits into their mouths.
Suddenly, a feeling of happiness from the crisp, sweet and refreshing taste of fresh dried fruits filled my entire mouth.
After the end of the world, people’s diet became monotonous, and when stimulated by such delicious food, they relaxed completely.
The one who ate the dried strawberries was so moved that he shed tears...
"you……"
"Mr. Li, this is so delicious!" The two uniformed men reluctantly stuffed their mouths with the dried fruits in the bag, hoping that the happiness would last a little longer.
Seeing their inappropriate behavior, President Li couldn't hold back. How could the conspicuous bun be so delicious? It was embarrassing for her!
"Okay, go wait at the door and put the bags down!"
Mu Jiu wanted to laugh in her heart. To be honest, these dried fruits tasted so good that even she couldn't put them down.
She and the mother and daughter of the Lou family studied for a long time, using many recipes and methods to try their best to preserve the original flavors of these fruits and vegetables.
The one in front of you has the best taste, nutrition and appearance, but it also has the highest cost.
Originally in the first-level resettlement area of the official base, this thing was always in short supply and in a state of crazy rush, so she was confident that she could win over the people from the Morning Light Base in one fell swoop.
Ms. Li looked like a very cautious woman. She finally resisted her urge to eat and continued to ask:
“These things should be difficult to cultivate, right?
Spending a lot of time, material resources and financial resources on these things, when you probably won't get much from an acre of land, isn't it not worth it?"
Mu Jiu smiled, "Boss Li, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about planting. Our varieties are drought-resistant and heat-resistant varieties that have been improved through hundreds of studies.
With the help of greenhouses, water evaporation is reduced and the water requirement is very small.
With the help of special sunlight that accelerates growth, the yield of vegetables and fruits per mu is much higher than before the end of the world, and the planting time is reduced by half!
Now our agricultural department has expanded a piece of forest specifically for growing fruit trees.
Just before this trip, the first batch of fruits had been harvested, and the apples and dried sweet dates in front of Mr. Li were the latest finished products.
We also have a sea buckthorn field of 10,000 acres, which is planted entirely with sea buckthorn and almost does not require watering.
The fruit of this plant can enhance human immunity, anti-oxidation, whiten and anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory and swelling, and protect the cardiovascular system.
I specially brought a pack for Mr. Li. It is in the box. It is fully labeled. It is very convenient to make tea after dinner!"
After Mu Jiu threw out the approximate planting data, she could clearly feel the emotion and shock in President Li's micro-expression.
That’s easy!
She further said, "Although the water consumption for planting is not large, we still need fresh water supply, after all, the stall is too big.
If the Chenguang base is willing to help us open this separate water transportation channel, we can deliver dried fruits and vegetables to this place in a regular and quantitative manner in the future.
How about forming a mutually beneficial situation, Mr. Li?"
Hearing this, Mr. Li smiled.
"I think it's a good suggestion. May I know the name of this young lady? She looks very young. Is she also the leader of the official base?"
"My surname is Mu, Mu Jiu, and I’m currently the Minister of Agriculture of the official base." Mu Jiu replied.
"What a promising young man! Who are these people?" asked Mr. Li.
Mu Jiu glanced at Fu Hengyuan, thinking about the strange look of this woman, and did not tell the truth.
“They are all deputies of my farm. They are here today on behalf of the base farm and want to discuss a special channel with the Morning Light Base.
This will help me run the farm better and advance my career further!"
This is the truth. After all, Fu Hengyuan has promised her the position of deputy base commander.
"Hahaha! Minister Mu may be young, but he has big ambitions!
However, this matter concerns the quota of fresh water. The amount of fresh water converted by the seawater purification machine in the base is fixed every day.
We have to supply water to ensure the residents of this base, and then we can sell the remaining water.
Now there are many forces buying fresh water from us, and the specific distribution shares need to be consulted with our base commander.
To be honest, our remaining quota has been sold out long ago.
I am in charge of this reception today just to get rid of you.
The base commander refused to meet you in person because he had no intention of allocating fresh water to you.
But I was moved by your dried fruits and vegetables and your personal ambition, so I decided to go on your behalf and personally plead with the base commander to allocate a quota for you!"
When Mr. Li said this, his eyes inadvertently glanced towards Gu Yang again.
The gleam in her eyes was clearly caught by Mu Jiu. What was this woman thinking?
Mu Jiu didn't show it on his face, and said with a look of surprise: "Thank you, Mr. Li! We specially prepared 100,000 kilograms of dried fruits and vegetables for you this time.
The transport convoy is parked outside the gate of your base. We hope that General Li can speak well of us in front of the base commander and make this good thing happen!"
Mr. Li stood up and said, "Of course! You have been traveling all night, so I guess you haven't had a good meal yet.
I asked someone to invite a few of you to dine in the private room downstairs first, and also to try our special seaside food to see if it suits your taste.
I'll go to the base commander's office right now!"
Mu Jiu and the others were then taken to the restaurant on the second floor by the uniformed men who had just taken them to the top floor.
Sitting in the private room, while waiting for the meal, Gu Yang asked Mu Jiu in a low voice:
"Sister, is what that woman said true? Will she really allocate fresh water to us? Why do I feel like she's weird?"
Mu Jiu smiled and said, "You also feel that she is strange. By the way, do you two think that woman looks familiar?"
Gu Yang and Gu Nuan shook their heads. They had no impression of him at all. He must be someone they had never seen before.
Fu Hengyuan, who had been silent until now, also spoke up and said:
“Just now she said that many forces came to buy water from them.
In other words, in addition to Deputy Base Commander Su's people, there are other bases or gangs around, and their power is not small.
At least it won’t be weaker than the strength of these Morning Light Bases, otherwise you don’t need to pay attention to it.”
Mu Jiu nodded, "If what she said is true, then there may be other powerful private bases around.
But if she has other purposes, it is hard to judge whether she is lying or not." After saying that, he looked at Gu Yang and Gu Nuan again.
Puzzled, Mu Jiu closed his eyes, released the space teleportation mirror, and used his consciousness to track the woman's location.
Still on the top floor.
At this moment, she was indeed reporting the situation to a middle-aged man, but her posture was hard to describe...
Mr. Li actually reported while sitting in the man's arms.
