Qiao Xuejun looked at him? Using burning bullets as firecrackers, is that reasonable? And he said it so calmly.
The carpenter next to him also reacted, looked at Qiao Xuejun's gun, and took a step back: "It really won't explode?"
Zhao Xian nodded and said with a smile: "No."
Qiao Xuejun said: "I will pay attention to it in the future."
She moved further away from the stove and practiced changing the magazine twice more.
She put the unused old magazine back, and thought of something, so she asked Zhao Xian tentatively: "Lord, do you have more of these guns? If we can trade, I still have extra food."
Zhao Xian was amused when he heard this: "Do you think it's a fire stick? You can change it whenever you want?"
It was originally a chaotic world, and people's hearts were unpredictable. If these guns and ammunition were to flow out, how many human disasters would it cause? The guns in the First Base were strictly controlled, and even the soldiers' guns were all registered.
The reason why Qiao Xuejun was allowed to take it away before was because of her special status. She mastered the planting technology. Judging from the specifications of the mulch film at that time, the land she planted was not small. This kind of talent is particularly important, but she is not in the first base, and her safety cannot be guaranteed, so she was allowed to hold the gun to give her more self-protection ability.
Qiao Xuejun looked away: "Oh."
Actually, it was expected, and it would be nice to have a gun.
Zhao Xian's eyes shifted from Qiao Xuejun to the carpenter: "What are you doing?"
"Repairing the grinder." The carpenter answered honestly.
The young carpenter had in his hand a grinder they had found from someone else's house. They used it to grind cornmeal, but it was now a bit slow to use, so the young carpenter and Kuang Qianli took it out to study it, planning to disassemble it and apply some lubricating oil.
Zhao Xian glanced at the grinder and twitched his nose. "Corn?"
The oppressive feeling of being easily seen through came over me with these two simple words.
Qiao Xuejun paused and looked up at Zhao Xian. What kind of dog nose is this? This grinder is usually cleaned after use, how can it smell it?
The young carpenter realized that he had said too much. He fell silent and looked at Qiao Xuejun guiltily, not knowing how to respond.
Zhao Xian looked at her performance and then looked at Qiao Xuejun: "In addition to potatoes, you also grow corn?"
It's already a statement of fact.
Telling a lie would be detected, so Qiao Xuejun chose to tell the truth: "I can't grow anything now."
Zhao Xian: "How did you grow potatoes and corn in such high temperatures? You're amazing, expert."
Qiao Xuejun: "Lucky, I found a suitable place."
The shelter has good farmland, large space, and simulated lighting, which is a very suitable environment. Now there is no light and I can only grow mushrooms.
It should take some time before we can breed a large number of them.
Zhao Xian: "Teacher Qiao, can I visit other areas?"
Can you visit that? The large warehouse, the piles of grain, the diesel, and the fifteen acres of land cannot be easily exposed to the light of day.
Qiao Xuejun put down the pistol and bullets, smiled and declined: "It's cold outside, Lord, you should sit down and warm yourself up."
Zhao Xian was not surprised at all to be rejected by Qiao Xuejun. He did not ask any more questions and quietly moved back to the chair, a little further away from the stove. It was too warm.
He saw a thermometer on the table above, which showed the room temperature was 17℃.
Zhao Xian's equipment was prepared for the sub-zero environment outside. It was not ventilated and breathable, and it was stuffy and hot when he sat in the house.
Seeing that Zhao Xian's nose was sweating, Qiao Xuejun suggested tentatively: "Take off some clothes?"
Zhao Xian looked up at her.
Qiao Xuejun took a look at Zhao Xian's equipment. It was indeed quite complicated. Unlike her coat, it could be taken off with a simple zipper.
"Finished. 300 potatoes."
Wang Juanfeng and Kuang Qianli pushed open the door of the small compartment, interrupting the conversation inside the room.
Zhao Xian stood up and looked at the pocket at their feet.
Kuang Qianli patted the sack of potatoes and said, "According to what Qiao Qiao said, we picked the big ones. They weighed 126 kilograms."
Qiao Xuejun also stood up and asked Zhao Xian: "Then let's take an inventory."
"No need." Zhao Xian walked over and picked up the bag of potatoes.
To carry the 100-pound stuff, Qiao Xuejun needed to use both hands, but Zhao Xian lifted it with one hand and even weighed it, appearing to be doing it with ease.
This bag was the burlap bag that had been used to hold potatoes. It was a 200-jin bag, very large, and only half of it was filled. Zhao Xian then put the 100-jin potato chips in it, and it was almost full.
Qiao Xuejun saw Zhao Xian out. When they reached the door, Zhao Xian stopped, put on his mask, and looked back at Qiao Xuejun: "No need to see me off."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Yes. Walk slowly."
Zhao Xian lowered his eyes and looked at the potato bag in his hand: "If Teacher Qiao needs to exchange anything in the future, bring food with you. We can exchange whatever we have at the First Base."
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "Thank you in advance."
"Speaking of this bag, when you went to town to buy agricultural mulch, did you also use this burlap bag to carry it?"
Qiao Xuejun didn't know why he suddenly brought this up, and nodded: "Yes, this pocket is quite big and sturdy. The Lord can use it to carry other things when he returns. If you don't need it, you can leave it to me and I will get it next time."
"That time," he looked at Qiao Xuejun's wrist, where the pure white wrist guard was very conspicuous, "your injury, hasn't healed yet?"
Qiao Xuejun followed his gaze, raised her wrist and saw the wristband. This wound was caused by her stabbing herself in order to avoid Zhao Xian.
Now it seems a bit stupid, she stuttered a little: "Ah, this, it's fine, but my doctor said I need to protect myself, so I wear this."
