Chapter 182 Cultivating Blueberries
Xie Yunze was waiting by the car, watching the people moving the wood to make sure they didn't damage his truck.
It took seven or eight people two hours to move the 30 pine logs to the base of the wall of the dilapidated building.
"Brother Wang, is there anything else you need our help with?"
Yu Duoduo asked Xie Yun to move the hundred pounds of gold bars to the co-pilot seat, and he stood beside and asked.
The reason she drove the truck here today was not just to transport their 30 pine logs, but she was determined that Brother Wang didn't have any means of transportation!
Brother Wang pulled Yu Duoduo aside and said:
"Xiao Yu, is your truck for rent?"
Yu Duoduo clearly saw the blisters on Brother Wang's hands, which must have been caused by logging.
Yu Duoduo smiled, "Brother Wang, our truck can be rented out, but...
This is not the time before the natural disaster when there were electronic cameras everywhere. If we want to rent a car, we have to bring our driver with us. Otherwise, if the car is lost, we will be dead!"
Brother Wang thought for a long time before answering:
"Okay, rent it for tomorrow, with a driver, how much?"
"Brother Wang is such a straightforward person! I was just kidding you. Brother Wang, please lend me the car. What's the price? We will accompany you on the trip tomorrow and ensure that the task is completed successfully!
At least I can go out with Brother Wang and see the world!" Yu Duoduo said with a smile.
“This…” Brother Wang felt a little embarrassed. This gift was too big. After all, it was purely manual work. It would take a whole day to carry 100 pieces of pine wood up the mountain!
"Brother Wang, don't feel burdened. We are still counting on you to lead us to do big business in the future. This little thing is nothing!" Yu Duoduo said.
Seeing her say that, Brother Wang stopped refusing. After all, Xiao Yu was not someone who needed that little money. If he gave too little, the other party would not care, and if he gave too much, the cost would be too high.
"Okay, since you said so, I will treat you as one of our own.
Then tomorrow morning, drive to Lijing Mansion... Do you know the place?" Brother Wang asked.
Of course Yu Duoduo knew that it was a wealthy community not far from here.
But Yu Duoduo shook his head, "I don't know."
After a pause, Yu Duoduo seemed to have a flash of inspiration and said:
"How about we drive over here to help Brother Wang deliver the wood, so that we can get familiar with the route?"
Brother Wang was a cautious person, but looking at so many woods weighing hundreds of pounds, it was too difficult to carry them back manually, and leaving them here overnight was too risky.
As a last resort, he agreed to Yu Duoduo's proposal.
So Brother Wang's people spent another two hours piling the wood from the corner of the wall onto the truck, which made everyone exhausted.
"Brother Wang, why don't we let everyone get in the car and drag it back together!" Yu Duoduo said.
Then, the group of brothers brought by Brother Wang climbed up onto the pine wood and sat down firmly.
Brother Wang, Xie Yun, and Yu Duoduo squeezed at the front of the car, acting as manual guides for them.
Ten minutes later, the truck entered the area of Lijing Mansion.
The main buildings here are high-end large flats, with a very low floor area ratio and large distances between buildings.
Most of Brother Wang’s good brothers bought houses here. Before the natural disaster, they were all good businessmen.
This residential complex is located at a relatively high altitude and has eleven floors. The flood only submerged the lower five floors, and Brother Wang lives on the top floor.
Brother Wang directed Xie Yun and the others to park the car next to his building and asked the brothers at the back to get out and move the wood.
"Xiao Yu, thank you so much! I'm really sorry to bother you!"
As Brother Wang spoke, he took out a large bottle of women's facial cream from his pocket and placed it in front of the windshield.
Yu Duoduo recognized it at the first sight. It was Lamei’s small white bottle of facial cream. It was still sealed in plastic and probably hadn’t been opened yet.
"This is something my wife stockpiled a while ago and has never opened. Although it is not as good as food and has no practical use, it can be used to moisturize hands and feet, and it is a small token of my appreciation.
We have been very happy to cooperate during this period of time, and you have helped us a lot. When I become rich in the future, I will definitely remember the favor you gave me today!"
"Oh~Brother Wang, you made it so formal that we feel embarrassed! We just hope that you can give us more advice when we do business in the future!" Yu Duoduo said.
"It's all small stuff!" Brother Wang said a few words of greeting and got out of the car to help move the wood.
Yu Duoduo looked through the car window and vaguely saw that a lot of wood prepared by Brother Wang and his friends had been placed in the half-frozen layer.
It was indeed peeled like it was chewed by a dog, but it is not easy to peel the skin in this temperature.
With so much wood, they should be used to keep watch at night. After all, no one would think that such a necessity of life is redundant.
Fortunately, there are few people here, and if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see the wood inside at all. This is much safer than the market where there are many people and too many eyes!
After unloading the wood, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun drove out of Lijing Mansion.
After walking about a mile, the two found a secluded place, hid, put the car into the space, changed into ice skates and went home.
After returning home, Yu Duoduo collected another bottle of wintersweet cream from the space and gave them to Tong Zi and Min Nan as the supplies exchanged today.
Yu Duoduo has plenty of these things in her space. Even if she uses them as body lotion, she won't be able to use them all.
The two of them held the white jar in their hands as if it were a treasure. After all, they would not have been willing to buy it before the end of the world!
Tong Zi happily brought the blueberry pie that she and Minan made from the kitchen and gave it to Yu Duoduo to taste.
"Mmm~ Delicious! Where do these blueberries come from?"
Yu Duoduo took a bite, and the sour and sweet taste in her mouth stimulated her taste buds. It was so fresh!
"Of course it was planted by Le Yan!
This is a wild strain that they found in the mountains before. After careful cultivation by Le Yan, the fruit is big and round, and the taste is amazing! "Tong Zi introduced.
"Really? I'll go check it out!"
Yu Duoduo became interested. Le Yan was really capable of growing fruits in the extreme weather of the apocalypse!
Le Yan is also happy because this is the second fruit variety to survive after raspberries!
Le Yan helped Yu Duoduo open the small door of the greenhouse, and saw that on the other side of the raspberry bush, on the short plants, there were large bunches of blue-purple small fruits densely hanging.
"Blueberries like humus-rich acidic soil, so the smell in there is a bit strong." Le Yan said, touching his head embarrassedly.
Yu Duoduo gave him a thumbs up, "Great, Brother Le! Have you ever considered exchanging it for supplies?"
Fruits like this with a provenance won't arouse suspicion when you take them out.
"I just wanted to grow some to improve everyone's taste, but I didn't think about exchanging supplies..." Le Yan said with difficulty.
He is very satisfied with his current life. He has food, drink, and entertainment, and can also do the research work he loves. It simply can't be better.
Besides, as a boy, he doesn't have high demands for daily life.
Unlike Minan and the others who have to take a shower and apply facial scrubs every day, he can just use a towel to cover himself from head to toe. After all, it’s all his own flesh and not more precious than any other!
Yu Duoduo thought about it and slowly guided him: "What if we can exchange it for a lot of toilet paper?"
