Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Building a Base
Liu Yun and his mother were stunned. Go to her base?
"In my base, you don't need to worry about security issues, nor do you need to hand in supplies every day. As long as you work hard, you can have enough food and clothes." Su Qing looked at the two of them seriously and said.
“Is there really such a good place?”
"Although it's still a small base, our welfare benefits are very good, and we will never allow evil forces to exist in my base."
This... Liu Yun and his mother looked at each other and were somewhat tempted. They were about to die here, and they had been planning to escape. Leaving might be a better choice.
"But... those people colluded with the guards at the door and wouldn't let us leave until we paid enough money," the prince said with a wry smile.
"How much do you still owe them?"
"To be honest, I've already paid back twice as much as I originally paid. I don't know how much I owe them or how much I should give them."
After hearing this, Su Qing glanced at Lu Chen. This man was acquainted with that Boss Chen. She wondered if they could talk and resolve the issue at once.
Lu Chen looked at Su Qing's eyes, which suddenly lit up as he looked at him, and sighed silently in his heart, "I know."
Su Qing saw that Lu Chen knew what she was thinking without her saying anything. She felt a little embarrassed and didn't know if this matter would bring trouble to Lu Chen. She asked, "If you have a say, ask about the conditions there first, and then we will find a solution."
"After all, I just spent a huge sum of money with Boss Chen. Letting the two of them leave is just a matter of a word." Lu Chen said meaninglessly.
Su Qing clapped his hands together, a smile on his face. "That's great! I was planning to just sneak out." He then looked at the mother and son and said, "Leave the departure to us. Don't worry."
"Brother, you are lucky today. You will not suffer any loss by following me, your elder sister. Just be happy." Li Yi patted the prince's shoulder.
Uh...this...sounds so weird.
Due to the current tight accommodation conditions in the base, Su Qing and Prince and his mother agreed to pick them up three days later. After the negotiation, they left the Liehuo Base.
After saying goodbye to Li Yi and Su Qing outside the base, Lu Chen drove Su Qing back to the courtyard.
When Lu Chen drove back, he took another route, passing through two small counties. Su Qing also went in to search a little.
Her base is currently a bit simple, and she needs to take the time to plan it out.
It was completely dark when they returned. Su Qing first went to the base to pick up Fuguier. Fuguier had been playing all day and was very sleepy. When he saw Su Qing coming to pick him up, he jumped into Su Qing's arms and fell asleep in a short while.
Doesn't this dog know his current height and weight? Su Qing said goodbye to Fang Qing with difficulty, and then laboriously carried Fuguier back to the car.
Lu Chen was driving, and on the way back, he suddenly said, "After tomorrow, I probably won't stay here again."
"Ah...Okay, is your problem solved?"
"That's about right. My base is in S City. If you need anything, you can come to me."
"oh."
"The cooperation can begin in a few days."
"good."
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat silent. Lu Chen suddenly turned his head to glance at Su Qing and said, "You seem to like picking up people and taking them back. You've been lucky that the people you've met recently weren't bad. If you meet someone with bad intentions one day, will you be able to handle it?"
"I can't help everyone." Su Qingben turned his head to look out the window and turned to glare at Lu Chen angrily when he heard what he said.
"Be more careful when you meet people, and don't trust others easily."
"I know."
After that, the two of them returned to the courtyard in silence. Su Qing said good night to Lu Chen and returned to the house. She put Fuguier down, washed up, lay on the bed, and closed her eyes.
Outside the window, a crescent moon hangs alone in the sky. The night grows darker and darker, and everything around is silent.
After a long time, Su Qing opened his eyes, his eyes clear and bright.
She seems to be suffering from insomnia.
…
“Awoo… Awoo…”
"Fugui'er... stop making noise." A hoarse voice came from the bed.
Seeing that the person on the bed never got up to prepare food for it, Su Fuguier tilted his head and rolled his eyes.
Then Fuguier stretched his body, jumped, and threw himself onto the bed... Then there was a violent cough.
"Puff...cough cough cough...Su Fuguier! Are you crazy? Do you want to crush me to death?"
Su Qing was already very sleepy and looked like he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, Fuguier pressed down on him and he almost couldn't breathe. He turned the stinky dog to the side and sat up.
"Awooo~Woof woof woof, woof woof, awooo awooo~"
Seeing Fuguier shouting at her excitedly, Su Qing glanced at the clock on the wall, "It's already ten o'clock."
He rubbed his dizzy head and got up to feed Fuguier some dog food.
After tossing and turning for a while, Su Qing lost her sleepiness and had to change her clothes, wash up, and walk out of the house. She subconsciously glanced at the east wing first. The door there was wide open. Su Qing walked over and saw no one inside. There was a piece of paper and a box on the table.
She picked it up and opened it. It said, "I didn't disturb you because you were asleep. I am deeply grateful for saving my life. Here are 100,000 new banknotes in the box to express my gratitude. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to solve, you can come to S City to find me. I will definitely help you." The signature was Lu Chen.
One hundred thousand new notes? What a generous sum! Su Qing put down the paper and opened the box on the table. Stacks of money were neatly arranged.
Su Qing closed the box and put it in her backpack, intending to return it to Lu Chen when she saw him later. Although the money was very tempting, she never thought that she saved Lu Chen in order to get something from him. Besides, Lu Chen had saved her twice before and collected a lot of supplies for her. After careful calculation, Su Qing felt that she had taken advantage of him.
After closing the door of the east wing, Su Qing prepared some simple food and returned to the house to eat while studying the base construction.
The wooden houses can now be upgraded. She upgraded all three wooden houses and turned them into three two-entry courtyards. The layout inside is similar to the one Su Qing lives in now. The only difference is that the west wing is also for living. There is no kitchen or warehouse. There is a main house and two side rooms, which can accommodate six people. There is water and electricity, and each room has a bathroom.
After upgrading the wooden house, Su Qing built three courtyard houses at the back. She thought that if housing became tight in the future, she could put away the furniture in the house, so that five or six people could live in one room, which could barely solve the accommodation problem of the base.
Afterwards, she opened the refresh mall and refreshed a large piece of land, placing the planting area in the southwest corner of the base.
She thought about it and decided that since she needed to find something for the people in the base to do, farming would definitely be a good job. The refreshed and efficient land did not require people to have planting experience, so anyone could do it and produce to supply the base's consumption.
After all, relying solely on the vegetable and fruit production here, even if the growth rate is extremely fast, it will not be enough to supply the base when the number of personnel increases in the future, not to mention that she is also thinking of selling vegetables and fruits to other bases to make money.
"system!"
"I'm here."
Why does it sound like I'm calling Xiaodu...
"Is there a machine at the base that can handle comprehensive affairs?"
"Go to the base page and make settings."
Su Qing quickly clicked on the base page and set up all the matters she wanted to set up regarding the house and land. Two comprehensive affairs processing machines could be deployed at present. She placed the machines in the room of the task center and then posted the planting tasks in the task center, tentatively setting the daily salary for each person at 10 new coupons.
After finishing these, Su Qing packed up and took Fuguier to the base through the transmission channel.
When Su Qing went over, Fang Qing and the other two were standing in front of the houses discussing something.
Su Qing walked forward and listened to their conversation silently behind them.
"Sister Fang Qing, you see, I've always said that Sister Su Qing is an alien. This courtyard house that appeared out of thin air, other than the aliens possessing super high technology, is there any other reasonable explanation?" Li Xing said excitedly.
Wang Tianqi rolled his eyes at Li Xing. "Who says there are only aliens? Immortals can do that too. Can't you see this is a Chinese courtyard house? Aliens wouldn't do anything like this. Sister Su Qing is pretty. Maybe she's a fairy sent down to help us."
"Please, how old are you? You still believe in fairies descending to the earth? Fairies are just myths, made up by humans."
"Aren't aliens fictional? Who has ever seen one? Aren't they just speculations?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Fang Qing interrupted the quarrel with a headache.
"I'm neither a god nor an alien. I'm just an ordinary person, just like you." Su Qing came up behind Li Xing and the others, stuck his head out and said softly.
Li Xing was startled by the sudden sound beside his ear. He jumped forward and turned around to see that it was Su Qing. "Wow! Sister Su Qing! You're so scary!"
"What did you do?"
Li Xing shouted, "Of course not!"
"Then what are you afraid of?" Su Qing patted his shoulder and said in an unfathomable manner, "Young man, it's not good for you to know too much about some things."
"Su Qing, you are here. It seems that this is another new building added to our base." Fang Qing looked at Su Qing with amazement in her eyes.
"Sister Su Qing, this house is so beautiful and antique." Wang Tianqi said happily.
"Sister Fang Qing, let me tell you about our base's current plans. A room in our courtyard is 20 new coupons a month, and the entire building is 100 new coupons a month. It's tradeable, and you can own it permanently for 10,000 new coupons."
"Wow, this is a courtyard house. If it were before the end of the world, this courtyard house would probably cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions." Li Xing looked incredulous.
"With today's currency value, you'd have to go without food and drink for several years to buy a house. It's not cheap."
Su Qing led the others towards the fields. "There's also land over here. I've posted a task at the task center. After accepting the task, you can earn a salary by planting crops. The land can also be contracted out to individuals. The annual contract fee for one acre of land is 500 yuan. 90% of the fruits and vegetables grown and harvested within the designated area belongs to the individual, and the base keeps 10%. You can sell them yourself, or entrust the base to sell them on your behalf."
Fang Qing looked at the large expanse of black soil in front of her and said in surprise, "Can crops be grown on this land? But isn't the land already polluted and unable to grow anything?"
"The soil at our base is different from other places. It can be used to grow crops, and it's faster and more productive. You don't need any planting experience. All you need to do is plant the seeds, water them daily, weed, and fertilize them. The seeds are sold in the display case at our base store."
Fang Qing did some calculations. Nowadays, fruits and vegetables are rare and their prices are very high. If they are sold to other bases, the profit will be considerable. With this calculation, the contracting fees and the share given to the bases can be almost negligible.
"That's great. I'm going to contract a piece of land. These kids can't be away from people for too long. The three of us can grow some crops and sell the harvest to make enough money to support our lives." Fang Qing looked at Li Xing and Wang Tianqi. They were also very excited. They were still thinking about what to do to make money. Now Su Qing said that they could contract the land, which was perfect for them.
"There are two machines in the mission center that are specifically designed to handle all matters related to the base. Everything from renting or buying a house to contracting land can be handled there using the gold cards you were given."
"There is another matter, Sister Fang Qing, that I would like to discuss with you."
"Just tell me what you want, I'll do whatever I can."
"I'm usually not at the base, and two more people will be joining our base in a few days. You were a senior executive at Company M before, so I'd like to ask you to be the manager of the base and help me take care of the base's affairs." Su Qing thought about it for a long time. She was usually busy searching for supplies and didn't live here at night, so there had to be a person in charge at the base to help take care of things. Currently, there were few people, and after much thought, only Fang Qing was suitable.
"Since we are still in the development stage, I will give you a monthly salary of 300 new coupons, and I will increase it in the future."
"This... Su Qing, thank you for valuing me. I will definitely take good care of this place for you, but forget about the salary. You saved me and gave us such a good living environment. I can't ask you for money anymore." Fang Qing was very touched. Su Qing trusted her and gave her such an important position.
"No, I can't ask you to work for nothing, right? That's it."
Su Qing and Fang Qing talked about their general plans for the base. After everything was explained, they left to continue searching for supplies.
