Chapter 252 Lu Xuan died
Han Ying's truck is a dump truck, so she can unload bricks as she pleases.
Lu Yuan originally planned to operate the car and unload the grain onto the floor first.
However, he was rejected by Gu Yuanping.
The truck was loaded with grain, and everyone treasured it very much. They were worried that the bags would fall apart if they were unloaded violently.
So it can only be unloaded by manpower.
The grain bags were dragged into carts and then pushed into the underground warehouse for storage.
The work of pushing the cart is easier, while dragging the grain down from the front and storing the grain in the warehouse requires more effort.
So there were two carts, Professor Li pushed one and the other was given to Han Ying.
Han Ying did not argue with them and decisively transported truckloads of food into the warehouse.
The warehouse looked large, but it was completely empty.
Not letting other people know about the existence of this batch of grain probably means that it will not be taken out unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, these are matters concerning several base leaders, and the two of them cannot interfere.
It was already past three o'clock when Lu Yuan finished unloading the grain, and drove the car to the parking lot.
After parking the car, the two were invited to Kozin's office.
The two horses are privately owned by Kozin, so it would be best to discuss this matter with him.
"Does the other party want those two horses?"
Ke Qin poured a cup of tea for Han Ying and Lu Yuan before asking.
"Yes, but they said 20 tons of food is too much, and they need to give more if we want to trade."
Han Ying naturally didn't care about extra charges, but it would be abnormal if she didn't bargain.
"What extra?"
Ke Qin looked at Han Ying and Lu Yuan and asked.
"The other party said he wanted some charcoal."
Han Ying had plenty of charcoal and other things, she just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the extreme cold in the base.
"Charcoal? What do you need charcoal for at a time like this? How much do you want?"
Hearing this, Kozin was also a little surprised.
How could someone who could produce 60 tons of grain be without charcoal?
Moreover, if you walk a little further, you will find a lot of wood that has not been cut down in the suburbs of Pengcheng.
If you want charcoal, just ask someone to chop more wood and burn it.
Besides, who has nothing better to do than burn wood into charcoal and then use it to start a fire?
Still not hot enough?
"They said they wanted a ton of charcoal. I don't know what they wanted the charcoal for, but they were reselling it. I heard the man say that you need to bring food when you are full, an umbrella when it is sunny, charcoal for summer, and a fan for winter."
"Maybe those people think that the extreme heat will eventually pass, just like the poisonous fog. After that, there might be an extreme cold, which is the opposite of the high temperature. So they prepare more and can sell it at a high price later."
As for the bargaining, Han Ying originally planned to discuss with Ke Qin how much meat would be left after killing the two horses.
But think about it, the base commander said he couldn't bear to kill the horse himself.
It would seem a bit inhumane to talk about this in front of him.
So I decided to try another way to bargain with him and leak some information at the same time.
"What this man said makes sense. One ton of charcoal is one ton. Take it with the horse tomorrow."
Since you have decided to trade the horse, don't keep it at the base.
What if I can’t make it through these few days and die, and the other party doesn’t want me anymore?
As for whether the other party will not give them food after getting two horses?
The base believes in Han Ying and Lu Yuan, and is also willing to give a little trust to those reselling people outside.
Gu Yuanping had mentioned to him before that someone had delivered medicine to the base.
In today's world, the only private individuals who still have drugs in their hands are probably those who resell them.
Since people are willing to donate so many drugs to the base, it means that not all those who resell them are profit-driven.
As for charcoal, the base can send people to the suburbs to cut trees for burning. We can still afford 1 ton of charcoal.
After the deal was reached, Han Ying and Lu Yuan did not stay in the base commander's office.
After Kozin added them both as friends, he let them leave.
The two had just returned to the villa and had not yet started eating when Lu Yuan received a call.
It was Gu Yuanping who called and told him that Lu Xuan was dead.
After Lu Xuan was caught stealing medicines from the base warehouse, he was arrested and forced to do hard labor.
He was a playboy who had been accustomed to enjoying life since childhood, and he lived a very comfortable life after the apocalypse.
Although Lu Xuan is young, he is not strong and a little weak.
If it weren't for the poisonous fog that improved his physical condition a lot, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived until now.
When Lu Yuan heard the news that Lu Xuan had died, his expression didn't change.
After all, it was expected.
Lu Yuan only said to Gu Yuanping, "Okay, thank you!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't respond, Gu Yuanping hung up the phone.
He also told Lu Zhengan about this matter. Lu Zhengan was also very calm, but prayed that he could collect the body of his youngest son.
They said they were collecting the bodies, but the official side only allowed Lu Zhengan to take a look.
He wiped Lu Xuan's body, changed his clothes, and tidied up his appearance.
Pay some more points and ask the official to help burn it.
Holding his youngest son's ashes, Lu Zhengan finally burst into tears.
....
In the following period, Han Ying and Lu Yuan would transport 6 tons of food to the base every night.
The two horses have been taken into the space by Han Ying, and Lu Yuan has also specially set aside a place for them to live.
Apart from knowing that horses eat grass, Han Ying doesn't know what else they eat.
However, Lu Yuan said that it can eat carrots, apples, leafy vegetables, corn, corn stalks, beans, etc.
In the first two days, the two horses' appetites were indeed not very good.
Just as Professor Li said, I often can't stand up and need to lie down.
But after a few days of adaptation, they both found that the horse's appetite seemed to be getting better and better.
Each time they put in more and more food.
Although he still couldn't stand up, he looked much more energetic than before.
As long as the horse is fed carefully, it seems there is still hope of taking it for a walk.
In order to feed these two horses, Lu Yuan decided to set aside two acres of land to grow various fodder for them to eat.
During this period, Han Ying and her friends were busy with the cacti, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and crops and livestock that filled the villa.
The base has also launched the coarse cakes.
Each pancake is the size of a palm, and you can get one for 1 point.
Salt is added to the coarse bread. Although it hurts your throat a bit when you eat it, it gives you a strong sense of fullness.
Eating a piece of coarse bread and drinking a bowl of water can barely make you 70% full.
This provides a new option for those who can barely afford rice.
After all, the price of rice has increased again, rising to 4 points per kilogram.
Such coarse cakes are sold in canteens and shopping malls.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan would go shopping in the mall every few days. After all, they wanted to know what was being sold in the mall.
When they went to the mall that time, they saw a lot of people queuing up to buy bread.
There is no purchase limit for coarse cakes, so some people buy more than a dozen at a time.
