Huo Antu arrived late when Qiao Xuejun had almost finished moving all the pumpkins.
He was carrying a huge backpack, which was bulging with stuff, and followed by an assistant who was carrying a gun and escorted him to safety along the way.
When the two men reached the first base, they were already sweating and panting, which showed that they had been running quite fast.
After rushing and hurrying, they finally arrived just when Qiao Xuejun’s melons were almost delivered.
"Professor Huo is here too! What's in this big backpack of his? Vitamin pills?"
"But it looks really light. These pumpkins that Teacher Qiao delivered were quite difficult to carry."
"Teacher Qiao's things are hard to move because there are so many of them. Not only does the pumpkin contain vitamin A, but it can also be eaten as a meal! Vitamin pills can't be eaten as a meal!"
"That's true..."
Qiao Xuejun was a little surprised to see someone coming.
She deliberately picked all the ripe melons a few days earlier three months ago and sent them here, just to make trouble for Huo. She still had several hundred kilograms of small melons growing in her field. It was just that they had agreed to only pick the harvest for one year, so she didn't pick all of them.
There are 65 soldiers in the base now. Each soldier eats half a pound of pumpkin a day. If they eat it every day, it will be less than 15,000 pounds a year.
The 35,000 kilograms she transported here were more than double the amount, definitely enough for delivery.
You can pick the remaining melons when they are ripe and store them in the shelter.
85 days have passed since the agreed time. She has completed the task ahead of schedule. Has Huo Antu also completed it ahead of schedule?
Zhao Xian went forward and stood in front of Huo Antu: "Professor Huo, there are still 5 days left before the agreed time. Did you finish it ahead of time?"
Huo Antu glanced at Qiao Xuejun next to the truck, his eyes showing a complicated expression. He retracted his gaze, put down the backpack on his back, put it on the ground, unzipped it, and revealed the neatly arranged small plastic medicine bottles inside.
He took out a medicine bottle and handed it to Zhao Xian: "Lord Zhao, this is just a vitamin A tablet I synthesized. One tablet a day. There are 62 tablets in a bottle. Soldiers with night blindness should take it three times a day. After the night blindness is recovered, it will be enough for daily supplementation like other normal soldiers, one tablet every two days."
"Three bottles for each normal soldier, and four bottles for each soldier who has suffered from night blindness."
When the plan was first made, Huo Antu told Zhao Xian that the total amount to be delivered was 205 bottles.
Huo Antu: "There are only 180 bottles here. The remaining 25 bottles are still in the final production stage and can be delivered in 5 days. These are all for now."
But to be honest, these are not a small amount. Although not as much as originally said, it is barely enough for a year. It is reasonable, and the remaining 25 bottles are just still in production, not not delivered.
Delivery can be made normally after 5 days.
Zhao Xian: "No rush. Why don't you come back in five days? If you come today, Professor Huo will have to come back again in five days."
Huo Antu's expression became complicated again, and he looked towards the truck: "I heard that Teacher Qiao was coming today, and I wanted to apologize to her in person and put an end to this ridiculous thing."
Zhao Xian nodded and did not comment on the matter: "Mountain Eagle, come and count."
Ren Wangwang was about to chat with Qiao Xuejun, but suddenly heard the order and came over immediately: "Yes!"
He was businesslike, took out the medicine bottles from his backpack and placed them neatly on the ground, counted them twice, then stood up and reported loudly: "Captain, Professor Huo submitted a total of 180 bottles of vitamin A tablets, 5 days ahead of the originally agreed time, but the amount was reduced by 25 bottles from the originally agreed number of 205 bottles! Report completed!"
Ren Wangwang's voice was so loud that the people watching around could hear it.
The original order was 205 bottles, but 25 bottles are missing. It’s not enough!
Professor Huo came early like Teacher Qiao, but the quantity was not enough. The amount of pumpkin Teacher Qiao gave was not just enough for the soldiers to eat for one year, but for two years.
At this time, Qiao Xuejun's big pumpkins were also finished being transported. The soldier in charge of storage also ran over and stood in front of Zhao Xian to report: "Report to the captain! The pumpkins have been counted, a total of 500 kilograms! 5 days ahead of the original delivery date, and 500 kilograms more than the original delivery amount!"
His expression and tone were extremely excited, and his voice was even louder than Ren Wangwang's before.
Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows. He knew that it must have exceeded the quota, but he was still surprised to hear this number. It was too much.
The onlookers were equally amazed: "Wow, how much? More than 20,000 kilograms!"
“That’s awesome.”
"Fuck, the excess was given to the First Base? This 100 liters of blue oil is too good a bargain."
“I choose pumpkin!”
It is clear who wins and who loses.
Especially in this case, a truckload of giant pumpkins is inherently very impactful.
In the crowd, Shen Xingtang's face darkened. Before the battle even started, she seemed to have been defeated miserably and had no chance of recovery.
That's just not fair! How does this pumpkin compare to a vitamin A pill?
How could Qiao Xuejun compare with Huo Antu? How could she beat Huo Antu! Huo Antu was the male lead she personally selected!
She is just a cannon fodder, a nameless passerby... Why?
Shen Xingtang listened to the cheers around him and was very angry: "System, is this what you said, that the world will stand on my side? Now, look, is the world on my side?!"
System: [Host, this is just a small problem, don't panic. You just need to wait a while. According to the laws of the world, you are the center of the world. Qiao Xuejun has no name at all. She is neither the protagonist nor the villain, so her pride is temporary.]
