Chapter 358 Official Friendly Price
After finishing their meal, they began to busy themselves with things in the space.
Lu Yuan was harvesting honey again, and Han Ying was helping him while wearing a bee-proof suit.
There are many plants blooming in the space every day, so the nectar source is very sufficient and can be harvested every once in a while.
We have now bred 5 boxes of bees. If we harvest all of them together, we can produce more than 20 bottles of honey each time. The yield is still very good.
After harvesting the honey, the two went to pick fruit.
Today we are going to pick two apple trees and two durian trees.
Apples are simple, just pick all the fruits.
But some durians are ripe and some are not.
Han Ying likes to eat fruits that are ripe on the tree, so Lu Yuan always waits until they are ripe before picking them.
Therefore, the durian needs to be harvested several times from a durian tree.
Lu Yuan set up a ladder, climbed up to pick the fruits, and then put them directly in the basement.
Han Ying took out the one that Lu Yuan had just put in from the basement, broke it open and ate it directly under the tree.
This is called picking and eating now.
I just had hotpot and now I’m eating durian.
Afraid of getting a sore throat, Han Ying didn't dare eat too much and only ate two large pieces.
After eating, he did not forget to take out a box of mangosteen flesh peeled by Lu Yuan.
Both durian and hotpot have strong smells, so the two of them will have to take a shower and brush their teeth before leaving the space.
After finishing the work in the space, Han Ying and Lu Yuan went in to take a shower before leaving the space.
After coming out, the temperature in the room was just right. As usual, Han Ying took out the thermometer to measure the temperature outside.
It’s about the same as yesterday and it didn’t drop any further.
The temperature didn't drop, and I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Everyone has temporarily adapted to the extremely hot weather, and it would be fine if the temperature dropped a little bit during the day.
If there is a sudden drop in temperature, something bad will happen.
I wrote down today's temperature in the notebook, put it away, and went to bed.
Han Ying and the others were awakened by the sound of the intercom. After they answered it, it was Lei Minghu from next door.
He asked if he wanted to go out and build the wall today.
When they were digging the well the day before yesterday and yesterday, Qin Qinghai and Lin Ting knocked a lot of bricks nearby.
Lei Minghu and his team collected a lot of sand.
He also used wire he found outside to make a simple sieve, which could be used to filter out garbage and large rocks mixed in the sand.
Han Ying and her team have been out for two days, which has delayed the work of repairing the wall, so they must go there today.
After receiving a positive answer, Lei Minghu hung up the phone and prepared the necessary tools.
After hanging up the intercom, Han Ying looked at the time and found that it was already past eight o'clock.
It seems that she and Lu Yuan slept for quite a long time.
We have sand, bricks and water, now all we need is cement and steel bars.
The steel bars are easy to solve.
There were ruins of collapsed buildings everywhere, and a lot of steel bars could be knocked out from the concrete slabs.
As for cement, we have already discussed it with the authorities. I will contact Chen Feihu later and ask him to allocate some money.
The official must not have given them much, but Han Ying could smuggle some out of the space and say that she bought it from the official side.
I got through to Chen Feihu and told him about this.
Chen Feihu said that the base commander had already told him that two tons of cement would be allocated to them.
Two tons of cement is not a small amount. Han Ying plans to take out another two tons from the space.
The official meaning is that it can be exchanged with points or materials.
The two tons of cement are still the same as before, and Han Ying and the others will be charged 1,000 points.
When Han Ying and Lu Yuan heard the price, they knew it was a friendly price given by the official.
When I was at the base before, I sold them one ton for 500 points.
Cement is now more scarce than before, and they are still selling it to them for 500 points. Isn’t that a friendly price?
However, Han Ying did not say anything. She gave 1,000 points to Chen Feihu and asked them to help move into the RV.
In order to prevent others from knowing how much cement she and Lu Yuan bought from the government, Lei Minghu and others were not asked to do the moving work.
Han Ying paid an additional 20 points to each of the two soldiers who helped with the transport, which was equivalent to 1 point for each package carried.
"Why do you need so many points just to move a few bags of cement? You should collect them quickly. These points can still be used when the base is moved here."
The two soldiers waved their hands repeatedly to indicate that they could not accept the points.
"In that case, then you guys move back and we'll move out on our own."
Han Ying used her usual tricks, and finally the two soldiers had no choice but to collect the points.
Lu Yuan, who was standing by, looked at Han Ying's actions and a smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly they thought of the scene before the tsunami when they first teamed up with Lei Minghu's family to buy supplies.
It was raining heavily at that time and the water was up to the thighs. An old lady tried to blackmail Han Ying into borrowing an umbrella.
Han Ying was unwilling to lend it to her, so she suggested that the old lady carry her through the water, and then she would lend the umbrella to the old lady.
At that time, Lu Yuan not only did not think that Han Ying was disrespectful to the elderly, but he also thought that her cute behavior was quite adorable.
After the cement was moved, Lu Yuan told Chen Feihu that they wanted to use the truck tonight.
That truck belonged to Han Ying and her team, but the base commander only left three vehicles when he left.
The official side is responsible for building houses, digging wells, collecting supplies, collecting firewood, etc.
So there are many places where cars are needed.
But the car belonged to Han Ying and her friends after all, so Chen Feihu had no intention of withholding it.
However, Lu Yuan said that they only needed to transport two loads of sand and soil, and after that, he would let Chen Feihu send someone to drive the car away.
Then Han Ying got into the car and called Lei Minghu and the others on the intercom and asked them to come down with the tools.
Taking advantage of this time, Han Ying put the cement she was going to take out into the through-area of the RV.
After everyone got off, Qin Qinghai and Lei Minghu followed Lu Yuan's car to load sand.
Lei Minghu and his family had collected a lot of sand yesterday, but they had no tools to transport it, so they could only pile it up on the roadside.
The others got into Han Ying's car and headed towards Hongmei Village.
When the well-drilling team came to Hongmei Village to dig a well the day before yesterday, they had already opened up a lot of the road.
So now Han Ying and her friends’ RV can drive directly into Lu Yuan’s house.
The RV was parked outside the yard wall to make it easier for them to move the cement down.
A bag of cement weighs 50 kilograms, which is not light.
But everyone's physical condition has improved and they can eat their fill every day.
Although she is a woman, she is quite strong.
They took a piece of unwanted clothing and put it under their shoulders. Some carried one bag at a time, and some carried two bags.
Even the two kids, Lei Yuhang and Lin Yang, were eager to try it.
Because the distance was short, it took the few people more than half an hour to move all 4 tons of cement into the yard.
At this time, Lu Yuan and his team had already arrived with a truck full of sand.
