Chapter 249 Are the points valid nationwide?
"Well, that's great. Xiao Lu, why don't you and Xiao Han come to the farm? I'll allocate a few dozen acres of land for you to farm, and I'll use the points to buy all the harvest back from the farm. How about that?"
Although Professor Li didn't want to admit it, he had been researching for half his life but ended up losing to two young people.
But the facts were before him, and he could only accept the reality.
If the farm can grow more food, he has no problem giving the position of farm manager to either of them.
"Professor Li, you think too highly of us. We can plant a small amount, but a large area is not possible."
Lu Yuan and Han Ying are self-aware. The reason they can grow things in such a harsh environment is because of the space.
If they didn't have the cheat of space, they would probably find it difficult to grow crops successfully.
"Oh, I guessed that, but it's still a pity. By the way, do you have enough water? So many cacti will need a lot of water."
After visiting the first floor, I came to the second floor, which was full of grown cacti.
Many of the leaves are already quite large and can be picked in the next two days.
"The deputy base commander ordered the water truck to deliver the remaining water every night. In addition, we occasionally go out and buy some water from outside, so it is enough."
It is possible to check how much water the base provides.
That amount of water is obviously not enough to water so many cacti.
But their cacti can still grow so well, there must be other water channels.
"You have a way to buy water? Can you buy food?"
Professor Li asked directly in a moment of desperation.
"Is the base short of food?"
Han Ying stood in front of Professor Li and asked.
"You two are both good kids and have made contributions to the base. To be honest, we can't rely on the farm for the time being. There are more than 20,000 mouths to feed outside, so we have to think of other ways."
Professor Li had a wry smile on his face. If there hadn't been problems with his farm, the base wouldn't have been in such a tight spot.
After hearing what Professor Li said, Lu Yuan looked at Han Ying.
Han Ying nodded at him.
"We do know a few people who run the night market outside. Even if they have food, I'm afraid it won't be cheap."
If there are people who want to buy food at the base, there will definitely not be a small number of them.
The food trade in the end times is different from that in peacetime.
In peacetime, the more you buy, the cheaper it will be.
But in the end times, if you want to buy food, the larger the quantity you want, the higher the unit price will be.
"It doesn't matter if it's not cheap. How much can you get?"
Professor Li looked at Han Ying with hope on his face.
"At most 20 tons, and not all of it is rice."
Han Ying thought for a moment before speaking.
In fact, she had discussed this matter with Lu Yuan before, and Lu Yuan had stockpiled a lot of things before.
There are eight rooms and 300 square meters of space, and the total amount of various grains and rice and flour is at least more than 200 tons.
If he were to eat all of it by himself, he wouldn't be able to finish it in his lifetime.
Because Lu Yuan’s space did not have the freshness-preserving function before, they had already discussed this matter.
If we want to trade grain in the future, we will use Lu Yuan’s grain first.
"It doesn't have to be all rice, but you can't let anyone else know about this except the base commander and deputy commander. The fact that the base is worried about food must not be spread to others, okay?"
If too many people knew that the base was short of food, there would be a scramble in the base's mall, and the entire base would be in chaos.
"No problem, neither of us are talkative people."
As for the price, Han Ying didn't say it directly. After all, they had to go outside and ask the "grain seller" first.
After talking about food, the three continued to look at the cactus.
While watching, Lu Yuan took out tools and dug out some soil from the cactus pot to show Professor Li.
Professor Li was amazed.
"We also planted some potatoes and sweet potatoes in the basement. Professor Li, would you like to take a look?"
The farm at the base is currently unable to produce potatoes and sweet potatoes, but Han Ying and her friends still have to take them for trade occasionally.
So I can only plant some myself openly.
At that time, it can be sold to the base shopping mall or to outsiders.
"Are you serious?"
When Professor Li heard that they also planted potatoes and sweet potatoes, he was so excited that he wanted to fly to the basement to take a look immediately.
"Of course it's true. We bought the seedlings from outside and just planted them not long ago, so they are just tender seedlings now."
Lu Yuan took Professor Li directly down to the basement.
Seeing the fill lights in the basement and the pots of young seedlings growing well, Professor Li excitedly raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, okay, it's grown very well. If you want to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, just tell me. Why buy seeds outside? I will give you as many as you want, and they are all the best varieties."
Professor Li touched this pot and then that pot, as if he couldn't see enough.
The potato seedlings look smaller, but the sweet potato vines have grown to more than 20 centimeters long.
In a few days, you can pick a handful and fry them.
"How about this, I'll go back and get some seedlings for you for free, and you can plant some more. Isn't there a basement in the other villa? Plant some more there, and then sell the harvest directly to the mall."
Although his farm has no harvest yet, Lu Yuan and Han Ying's farm is full of vitality.
In a while, sweet potato leaves should be available for sale in shopping malls.
"Okay, thank you Professor Li."
In fact, the basement of the villa where they lived was also full of cacti.
However, the cacti can be stored in the space, and then placed outside in turn with the cacti in other buildings.
"Don't be polite. I should thank you for growing something. You gave me hope, and I won't give up."
After looking at the cactus and sweet potatoes, Professor Li planned to leave.
When the three of them walked to the gate of the wall, Han Ying suddenly thought of a question.
"Professor Li, there is actually something I have been wondering about. I wanted to ask the deputy base commander, but I always forget."
Han Ying opened the gate of the wall and said.
"What is your doubt? Tell me. If I know, I will try to tell you."
As long as it is not confidential, he can tell it.
"Can our points only be used in our Pengcheng base, or in Peng Province, or can they be used throughout the country?"
Han Ying and Lu Yuan died in their previous life without ever leaving Pengcheng, and they didn't have many points at that time, so they didn't think about this problem.
But now they have various ways to earn points. If these points can only be used in Pengcheng or Peng Province, then there is no need to earn so many.
But if it can be used nationwide, they will naturally earn more.
