Seeing that the two people could not reach an agreement, Zhao Xian stepped forward and stood between them, blocking their line of sight.
Zhao Xian looked at Qiao Xuejun: "The amount is so much more than what you paid. It would be inappropriate not to pay more, Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Xuejun's face looked much better and she nodded, "You can add it."
Qiao Xuejun gave these pumpkins to Zhao Xian, but she didn't expect to pay extra. After all, she only used one-third of the blue oil she got from Zhao Xian.
It's just a light to provide supplemental lighting, it won't be on all day, and it won't use much energy.
Zhao Xian said seriously: "I can give you half of the blue oil in the base. Teacher Qiao, I like you to sign an agreement with the base and be responsible for the base's food supply during the agreement period."
Qiao Xuejun: "Half? All to me?"
It wasn't the exact number of 300 liters or 500 liters... it was half. No matter how much or how little the base earned, she would get half.
Not only Qiao Xuejun, but everyone who heard it was surprised and fell silent.
This kind of transaction is almost like handing over half of the base's assets to Qiao Xuejun.
This is not just a transaction between two parties, it is like a deep cooperation, a binding trust.
Half of the base's blue oil is not a small amount. During the days when Qiao Xuejun worked with the patrol soldiers of the First Base, he also had a basic understanding of the output of the First Base.
About 500 liters of blue oil can be collected in a month, of which 250 liters are for her.
The blue oil given to her before was a total of 200 liters, which she made a profit from. If Zhao Xian really gave her half of the blue oil... then she could expand madly and plant 50 to 60 acres of land, not only grain crops, but also focus on fruit trees and vegetables, all using mechanized production so that everyone can have enough to eat.
Zhao Xian: "Yes, no matter how much the harvest is, I will give you half."
For the food, it's worth it.
Qiao Xuejun wanted to agree directly, but she felt that this matter was very important. After considering it for a while, she answered very seriously: "I am personally very willing to cooperate with the First Base. I need to take the content of your agreement back to discuss it with my companions, and give you a reply in three days."
Zhao Xian: "Three days? Can't you give it to me tomorrow?"
Qiao Xuejun thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Zhao Xian nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow."
After transporting all the pumpkins, Qiao Xuejun returned to the shelter. When she left, Huo Antu wanted to say something to her, but Qiao Xuejun ignored him.
·
Huo Antu looked at Qiao Xuejun's leaving back, with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Unfortunately, he was too arbitrary before, and his impression score with Teacher Qiao has dropped to the bottom. Even if he admits his mistake, it will not have much effect and it is difficult to recover.
After putting down the pills, Huo Antu also left.
As soon as he walked out of Hongmei Mountain, he met Shen Xingtang.
"Xingtang?"
Shen Xingtang walked towards him with a bitter face and aggrieved eyes: "Brother An Tu, I came out to collect supplies today and heard a lot of people talking about what happened today. They all said that you lost... I feel unfair for you. You obviously also made vitamin A tablets for the First Base, but they acted as if they didn't see it."
Huo Antu reached out and patted Shen Xingtang on the shoulder, saying in a gentle voice: "Xingtang, we were wrong in the first place. The original bet was just whether Teacher Qiao could provide vitamin A as promised. She did it, so I lost. There is no point in arguing about this."
Shen Xingtang choked when he heard this and almost died of anger.
Is she the only one who feels unfair? She said this to comfort Huo Antu! Besides, why is he so weak-willed? Where is the nobleness of an intellectual?
Just admit defeat!
Before Shen Xingtang could figure out how to respond, Huo Antu continued, "Speaking of this, Xingtang, you said that Teacher Qiao didn't know how to do anything during the beast tide and could only wait to die... You must have misunderstood her somewhere, right? She and I escaped together during the last beast tide. Or rather, she led a dozen of us on the scientific research mountain to escape together."
Shen Xingtang froze when he heard this. What did this mean?
She immediately said aggrievedly: "Brother An Tu, are you suspecting that I deliberately said bad things about her? I am just saying the facts that I knew at the time."
Huo Antu said quickly: "Of course I don't mean that. I just think you have a misunderstanding about her. I'll explain it to you clearly, and you just need to stop thinking about her like that."
Shen Xingtang: ...
This is absolutely amazing. Does she need Huo Antu's explanation? She deliberately slandered Qiao Xuejun, and she still expected her to change her mind? How ridiculous!
But she still needs Huo Antu's favor and cannot deviate too far from his expectations.
She suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother An Tu."
Huo Antu said with confidence: "If you have the chance, you can get closer to her and show your kindness. She can grow so many good things. There are so many people in your 7th base, don't they also need food? It won't do you any harm to deal with her well."
He had expected this, and this was only in Gongzhou.
If this matter spreads to the survivor bases in other provinces, those bases are likely to come and poach people. This may also be the reason why Zhao Xian suddenly became deeply bound with Qiao Xuejun, so he decided on the person first.
Zhao Xian did not lose out. In this era, food is everything. Using half of his wealth to exchange for food to ensure basic survival is a very wise choice.
·
Qiao Xuejun returned to the shelter.
After returning and explaining Zhao Xian's intention, the three teammates present reacted in a similar way.
Kuang Qianli was excited: "Then have we become the food supplier for the First Base? Those who control food control life and death, so what's the difference between us and the King of Hell? We are so awesome!"
Wang Juanfeng was amused, and then nodded: "It's pretty cool, Qiao Qiao, I think it's okay to officially cooperate with the First Base. In the future, no messy people will come to trouble us. This background is very strong."
The carpenter's first reaction was: "There must be a lot of blue oil in the First Base! Half of it is a lot. We can upgrade the equipment. Blue oil can do more things. For example, I can make a wine-making machine. I can modify it with that distiller!"
