Chapter 93: Insect Repellent
Xu Xinxin didn't hear what Sun Kunpeng said and just passed by the Malatang.
When she ran to Fu Zeren's shop, she found Fu Zeren sleeping on the table.
Fu Zeren, who was lying on the table, jumped up immediately when he heard Xu Xinxin's footsteps. Without even opening his eyes, he said, "Welcome."
"Brother Fu, it's me."
Xu Xinxin ran to Fu Zeren, took out all the remaining tomatoes in the space, and placed them directly in front of him, saying: "These are the tomatoes I planted now, and I give them to you to eat."
It turned out to be fresh tomatoes.
Fu Zeren immediately came to his senses and said, "It's not the tomato season yet, but they're already planted."
As he spoke, he took one with his hand and continued, "Yes, it is naturally ripe and smells delicious."
Fu Zeren picked up a tomato and was about to eat it, but suddenly he remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Your tomatoes are not sprayed with pesticides, right?"
"No," Xu Xinxin waved her hand and said, "Pesticides are so expensive nowadays. Insect repellent is more cost-effective. Brother Fu, I came to you to ask you where you can buy some good insect repellent."
"Then you've asked the right person." When Fu Zeren heard her say that the tomato was not sprayed with pesticides, he took a big bite of the tomato and praised it, saying, "It's so sour and sweet and delicious." He looked up at her and said, "I'm telling you, don't buy this insect repellent randomly, and the same goes for pesticides."
"The shop in front that sells insect repellent got some pesticides from somewhere and sold them. As a result, the buyer was so upset that he swallowed the pesticides and committed suicide. Hey, guess what happened in the end? The suicidal person regretted it and didn't want to die anymore. In the end, he found out that he didn't die. After checking, he found out that the pesticides were fake. Yesterday, a group of people came over with drums and gongs to present a "pininn banner" to him."
Xu Xinxin had seen similar plots like this on the Internet before, but she never expected that it would actually happen around her.
"What happened next?" She also started to gossip and asked, "Did the boss pay compensation?"
"Of course I lost. Eight thousand points."
That's a lot of money.
Xu Xinxin sighed inwardly and asked him, "Doesn't that mean I should avoid his house when buying insect repellent in the future?"
"That's not the case," Fu Zeren said in defense of the boss. "The pesticides he sells are real, but they were produced before the disaster. They were fake at that time. He is unlucky to have encountered this and has lost a lot of points for nothing."
"However, you can buy insect repellent from him. He loves to deal in this. The insect repellent and weed repellent sold in the store are all made by him according to the formula published by the institute. They are cheap and easy to use. I heard that some of them are even better than those sold by the institute."
It turns out that the boss of that company is a technical expert.
Although the formula of insect repellent water has been made public, making it is just like cooking, requiring the right combination of ingredients and the right heat.
The same recipe, the same ingredients, but different people processing and preparing the products will make them different.
If you add a little less or a little more of certain key substances, the final effect will be very different.
Fu Zeren finished eating the tomato in his hand, wiped his hands casually, and said, "Forget it, come with me to his place, I will help you negotiate a good price."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Fu."
Xu Xinxin hurriedly followed him and went to the "Farmer's Shop" not far ahead.
This shop sells things related to farming, such as insect repellent, weed control water, chicken feed, pig feed, etc.
All of these feeds are made of mutated materials and special aromatic substances, which can greatly reduce the bitterness of mutated foods while retaining the nutrition of the food as much as possible.
So, chickens used to eat millet leftovers, but now they eat chicken feed.
There was no customer in the farm shop. The owner was a middle-aged woman with curly hair. When she saw Fu Zeren coming, she immediately stood up from her chair and said enthusiastically:
"Boss Fu, why are you here? Come on, do it inside."
The middle-aged curly-haired woman spoke as she looked at Xu Xinxin.
This person should be the sister of the man on the dam whom Fu Zeren often mentioned.
After not seeing her for a few days, she looked just as lively and energetic as when I first saw her at the awards ceremony.
Xu Xinxin noticed that she was looking at her, and raised her head and smiled at her.
Fu Zeren also spoke up at this time: "Boss Xu, this is my sister. She wants to buy insect repellent, so I brought her over to have a look."
"Oh, it's hard for you not to listen to those people's gossips." Boss Xu immediately became excited when he heard Fu Zeren's words, and said, "Now people nearby are saying that I sell fake goods here. It's really a bastard. I just make some potions and sell them. Everyone is selling things before the disaster. When there are problems, they blame me, and I have no place to seek justice."
Fu Zeren only mentioned it once, and Boss Xu started talking non-stop like clockwork.
Xu Xinxin nodded repeatedly while listening to her complaints, "Boss Xu, you've said too much. How can you blame everything that happened before the disaster on you? Those people must have seen that your business was good and deliberately discredited you."
She loved hearing this, and Boss Xu immediately took Xu Xinxin's hand and said, "Sister, you are the most sensible. Come, look at this potion, I just made it, and I will sell it to you at the lowest price."
"Thank you, Boss Xu~"
Fu Zeren stood nearby and watched as Xu Xinxin opened her mouth and coaxed Boss Xu into treating her as a sister. The more he watched, the more he felt that the scene in front of him was inexplicably familiar.
Boss Xu has already taken Xu Xinxin to pick out the goods, including insect repellents and weed removers, with different formulas for different crops.
Boss Xu introduced all of them to Xu Xinxin, and finally said: "If you can't tell which potion to use for which plant, I recommend this one for the people. It may not be as good as the previous targeted potions, but it's almost the same. Using this one is the most worry-free and cheapest."
Xu Xinxin looked at Boss Xu, introduced a circle, and finally recommended only the cheapest and most affordable potion to her. She immediately expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, Boss Xu. I wonder if you have any potions that can inhibit the growth of weeds."
"Yes, this is also the cheapest and most practical one. One bottle only costs a dozen points. I'll also give you a spray bottle."
"Yeah, thank you, Boss Xu."
Xu Xinxin walked around the store and finally chose ten bottles of Huimin version of insect repellent water and ten bottles of Huimin version of weed repellent water, which also came with a spray bottle.
Boss Xu is really honest. All together, he only collected 288 points.
Xu Xinxin put the things into the space, and Boss Xu was still reminding: "This potion must be mixed in water and diluted before use, otherwise it is easy to burn the seedlings. The ratio of potion to water is 1:1000 to 1:2000, you must remember it."
