Bai Shuang asked Uncle Zuo, "Li Family Coal Mine? Do you know the owner's name?"
Could it be Uncle Li's family?
"Li Hu."
When Bai Shuang heard the name "Li Hu," disappointment flashed in her eyes. Of course, there are many people in the world with the surname Li; it's unlikely to be such a coincidence.
After having lunch at Zuo's house, Bai Shuang and the others returned to the hotel. After a long journey in the snowmobile, they needed to rest to avoid attracting attention.
In the afternoon, Zoe brought a wealthy young lady to the hotel to find Bai Shuang and ask if she still had any cosmetics.
It goes without saying that Zoe Kelly must have gone to show off to her friends.
"Sorry, no more. The set I gave you was just a spare for myself."
Upon hearing this, the young lady looked utterly disappointed, while Zoe Kelly felt even more that her cosmetics were precious.
It's normal to bring a lot of food when you're traveling, but it's not normal to bring a lot of cosmetics.
"Do you still have face cream?"
That's what Qianjin asked.
"I don't actually have much face cream, but for Kelly's sake, I'll give you one of the bottles I use myself."
\"Thanks!"
I accepted 500 points from her; if I accepted less, it would seem like the gift I gave to the Zuo family was too insignificant.
The face cream contains Chinese medicinal herbs and spring water, so it's worth the price.
The next day, the group went to the agricultural research institute to collect the remaining 5,000 points. It had been about 20 days since Bai Shuang and the others arrived at the base, and the monkey fruit seedlings should have survived.
The researchers were very pleased.
"The monkey fruit has already taken root in the snow; let me take you to see it."
This was the first time Bai Shuang had ever seen monkey fruit seedlings grown from seeds; all the ones in her space were grown from vines.
The seedlings grown from seeds have grown to two inches long and look weak, just like grape seedlings grown from grape seeds, except that their leaves and stems are all white, like a fairy herb.
The vine not only survived, but also began to bloom with tiny white flowers.
"They've bloomed! Congratulations! You'll be able to eat the fruit soon."
"Has the base replenished your points?"
Bai Shuang asked with a hint of gossip.
"They gave it to us, they even gave us an extra reward. I heard it was an order from Commander Zuo."
"Chief Zuo?"
"Yes, he has always attached great importance to research."
Bai Shuang knew they were all wealthy and powerful, but she never expected that the head of the Zuo family would be the top leader.
As Bai Jiu walked out of the agricultural research institute, he remarked, "I never expected that the Zuo family head would be the base director!"
"Miss, do you think we should give them some gifts? A little flattery will make things easier for them in the future."
\"Hahaha..."
As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and his comical manner made Bai Shuang and Bai Chang laugh.
Bai Shuang shook her head, "We earn our living through our own abilities, we don't need to flatter them."
In the afternoon, the group drove their container truck to the base's trading market to exchange all their remaining points for grain and to see what else was available.
Although points can be used in other bases, Bai Shuang still feels most secure having food on hand.
The next day, Bai Shuang bid farewell to the Zuo family, put all five horses into a container truck, and left the Longcheng base.
"Be careful on the road. If you encounter any problems you can't solve, feel free to come to us."
The head of the Zuo family gave instructions.
"Thank you, Uncle Zuo. I will."
After leaving the Longcheng base, the car was driven to a secluded spot, and Bai Shuang put away the horse and the container truck, heading directly to the Li family coal mine.
Having just left the base, and just in case they didn't want others to know their whereabouts, the three of them disguised themselves.
The snow on the road here is quite hard due to the many people walking on it. Bai Shuang took out a high-end Rolls-Royce SUV that he had bought earlier and installed snow chains on it.
Bai Jiu: "Miss, let's use a regular car. This one is too expensive, it's a pity."
"Regular cars aren't bulletproof; they're bought to be used."
Although three large bandit dens were destroyed, other smaller and medium-sized ones still existed, making the route unsafe.
The three of them disguised themselves again, just as Bai Chang had said last time, dressing Bai Jiu up as a spoiled rich second-generation.
Wearing a velvet suede jacket worth 100,000 yuan, six-figure Martin boots, and a large gold chain on a cashmere sweater.
A pair of sparkling diamond-encrusted earrings, and Tyrannosaurus Rex sunglasses under a black cotton hat.
Bai Chang and Bai Shuang disguised themselves as his subordinates.
Following the address given by Uncle Zuo, the group arrived at the Li family's coal mine.
The person in charge explained their purpose at the entrance: they wanted a large tonnage, and the person in charge needed to consult with the boss.
"Judging from your accents, you don't seem to be locals?"
Bai Jiu: "We are from Tangcheng."
"Tangcheng? What is your surname?"
"My surname is Bai."
"The Bai family? Wait, I'll go ask the boss."
After waiting for a while, the person in charge brought out a man. Because of the extreme cold, everyone was wearing headscarves, so their faces couldn't be seen, but Bai Shuang and the others still had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity with him.
"Are you from the Bai family of Tangcheng?"
Bai Jiu: "That's me."
\"who?"
"Bai Hao."
The other person raised their voice, "Bai Hao?"
Boss Li thought to himself, "That good-for-nothing Bai Hao, how did he manage to come all the way from Tangcheng to buy coal in this freezing weather? Can he really do that well?"
"Take off your headscarf, let me see."
At this moment, Bai Shuang and the others thought, "Could it be that we've run into someone we know?"
Bai Jiu removed his headscarf.
"Isn't this Bai Jiu? Why are you saying you're Bai Hao?"
"How...how did you know I was Bai Jiu?"
"Still pretending to be a spoiled brat? I'd recognize you even if you turned into Sun Wukong. I was the one who brought you all back from the orphanage back then."
