Chapter 502: Probably a Smiling Tiger
"What do you have?"
Brother Wu is not stupid, so he can’t speak first.
"Points, food, meat, other daily necessities...or whatever you want, just tell me."
There was no point in pushing it back and forth, so Lu Yuan just said it directly.
Hearing this man's words, Brother Wu's eyes immediately lit up.
Anyone who can speak so arrogantly must have no shortage of good things.
"Do you have cotton and medicine?"
The population of Feng Province base is small and the sweet potato yield on the farm is high, so there is no shortage of food for the time being.
But there is a lack of cold-proof supplies.
It has been extremely hot for too long, so everyone has thrown away their thick clothes. Now many people are wearing thin clothes one on top of another.
If there is cotton, and you sew it between two pieces of clothing, it can barely be considered a cotton coat.
As for medicines, I'm afraid there is no place that does not have a shortage of them now.
There are a lot of cotton and medicine in Han Ying’s space symbol.
However, medicines are non-renewable, so try not to trade them if possible.
As for cotton, there was a lot of it planted in the space, and Lu Yuan harvested another batch a few days ago.
There are now a lot of cotton that has had its seeds removed and is piled up, all of which Lu Yuan has pressed into bales using machines.
Cotton bales come in different sizes. The big ones weigh about 200 kilograms each, while the small ones weigh 100 kilograms or 50 kilograms.
"You can get some cotton, but it's expensive. Are you sure you want cotton?"
In this extreme cold, cotton, like firewood, is a life-saving material.
So the price is naturally more expensive than ordinary supplies.
When Brother Wu heard that the other party had cotton in his hand, he was ecstatic, but he did not show it on his face.
"One ton of meteorite for 100 kilograms of cotton!"
In the end, Brother Wu calmly quoted the price.
"Brother Wu, how many pounds did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
After hearing the price quoted by Brother Wu, Han Ying, who had been silent, spoke.
"100 jin."
Brother Wu said it again, but he was a little nervous when he said it this time.
"It seems that Brother Wu is not sincere in doing business with us. Let's go to another city."
Han Ying knew that when the two of them drove up to Feng Province, the people here would definitely know about it, and those little followers before were probably this Brother Wu's men.
So she didn't intend to hide the fact that she and Lu Yuan came from other places.
"So how much do you say?"
Brother Wu also knew that he was asking for too much.
Cotton is a scarce commodity nowadays, and he really has no place to get it.
"One ton of meteorite is equal to three kilograms of cotton!"
Han Ying didn't say anything, it was Lu Yuan who made the offer.
The price of items in the apocalypse depends on their scarcity. Meteorites can be found in every city, and this Brother Wu is likely to have a lot of them.
But now cotton cannot be grown at all. After so many years of extreme cold, even if there was cotton in the past, I am afraid that many people would have burned it as firewood or thrown it away.
Therefore, the price Lu Yuan reported was well considered.
Three kilograms of cotton can make two cotton coats, but meteorites are useless to them.
"You're kidding me!"
When Brother Wu heard Heng Chunyu’s offer, he slammed the table and stood up from his seat.
There's a difference of as much as the Pacific Ocean between 3 jin and 100 jin, okay?
How dare they say these 3 kilograms?
"I never play tricks on people. I think Brother Wu won't lose money at this price. After all, besides me, who else can give Brother Wu the cotton he wants?"
Lu Yuan looked at Brother Wu who suddenly became fierce in front of him. He no longer looked like the smiling man who was ready to introduce them to someone.
This person can sit in this position, he must be a smiling tiger.
On the one hand, he smiles and wants to introduce you to someone, but on the other hand, he ruthlessly wants to kill you.
In the last days, good people cannot become bosses.
Even though Scar Wei usually calls Han Ying and Lu Yuan "ancestors" shamelessly in front of them, he is also ruthless and cruel when facing his younger brothers who are doing tricks.
“50 jin!”
Brother Wu knew that the other party was right, but whose face was he slapping with the three kilograms of cotton?
“4 jin!”
Lu Yuan had already given the other party room for bargaining, so he added a little bit.
"40 jin!"
Seeing that the other party had given in, Brother Wu lowered the price a little more.
"Five pounds!"
Lu Yuan quoted another price.
Wu Ge, who was sitting opposite, was about to continue bidding, but Lu Yuan raised his hand to stop him. "5 jin is the highest price I can offer. If Wu Ge can't accept it, there is no need for us to continue talking."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and looked directly at Brother Wu opposite him.
Seeing that the other party had really made up his mind, Brother Wu felt a little embarrassed.
This price was far different from what he expected. His original bottom line was one ton of meteorite in exchange for 30 kilograms of cotton, but now only one-sixth of that is left.
Brother Wu thought about it and collected almost all the meteorites from the entire Feng Province.
At least several thousand tons.
If one ton is exchanged for 5 kilograms, it can be exchanged for a large amount of cotton.
Otherwise, those meteorites would be left there as rockery.
"It's 5 kilograms, but for this price, we don't include delivery service."
Brother Wu accepted his fate.
"Okay, where do we trade?"
Lu Yuan was not surprised at all to hear that the other party agreed.
"Go out from here and walk along the main road for 10 kilometers. There is a city sign that has not collapsed. It is right there. Trade 100 tons first."
Wu Ge sent people to collect the meteorites and placed them in different places in Feng Province. It was impossible for him to move those thousands of tons of meteorites around, so they were placed nearby.
"100 tons is fine. We will be there waiting for you with the goods at 10 o'clock tonight!"
Lu Yuan looked directly at Brother Wu opposite him and said.
"good."
Brother Wu nodded in agreement.
The deal was done, and Han Ying and Lu Yuan planned to leave the tin house.
But when she reached the door, Han Ying suddenly turned around and looked at the people inside and said, "By the way, I heard that your base mall sells taro. Can you give me a few seeds to try? I'll exchange them for cotton."
Brother Wu didn't expect this person to make such a request.
The new type of taro is only available in Feng Province, and it is the latest improved variety that has been developed.
How does this person know that the new type of taro is propagated by seeds?
However, the answer to this question is actually not difficult to guess, because the high-yield grain varieties that have been launched on the market are all propagated by seeds.
For example, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes were developed in Feng Province, while potatoes were developed in Pengcheng.
Everyone took turns planting.
However, their new type of taro has not yet been planted in large quantities.
"The seeds of the new type of taro are too precious. I don't have many on hand. I can give you five."
Brother Wu didn’t know whether these two people were going to take the seeds of the new taro back to their own base to plant them.
Even so, it would take several months to grow a new round of taro.
By that time, they would have already gained benefits from other bases by using the new type of taro.
After getting the guarantee, Han Ying and Lu Yuan left the market.
