The task of slaughtering snow rats, disinfecting the meat, and processing the fur in the military camp was entirely entrusted to Bai Chang.
In the military camp, Lu Yu was in charge of the overall situation, and Xiao Zhao and Xiao Yang were there to help with the secret matters. Bai Shuang only needed to hand over the disinfectant to Bai Chang.
Every day, another large number of snow rats are electrocuted and placed in the food warehouse of Lu Yu's military camp.
Whether it's finished hides or meat, they're all stored in the military barracks warehouse. Bai Shuang just needs to collect them every other day.
Bai Shuang, along with Bai Jiu and Xue Bao, focused their main efforts on the hospital.
The first step is to rent a base planting platform. We need to plant medicinal herbs and grains first, using the White Frost Space, and we also need to keep it a secret.
Otherwise, where would the medicinal herbs come from? Where would the food for the employees come from? Would they buy it from the base? The base's food supply is already tight, and Bai Shuang doesn't want to compete with them for it.
Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu arrived at the management department of the planting platform.
The person in charge is a female employee in her thirties.
"What's up?"
Bai Jiu: "Rent land."
"Planting platform, not for rent."
The man was very impatient and tried to turn and leave after he finished speaking.
Bai Jiu: "Wait, as far as I know, several families have rented the planting platform."
"Those are people who have contributed to the base. Do you have any like that? Really!"
Bai Shuang had learned about this from Lu Yu: planting platforms were in short supply, and the base government was organizing people to plant them, not renting them out.
Unless, of course, someone who has made a special contribution to the base.
However, the employee's service attitude...
To be honest, since Bai Shuang came to the Kyoto base, she has never encountered a public official with such a bad attitude.
Bai Shuang took out her military merit certificate from her bag (space) and handed it over.
"Is this enough?"
The female employee went over and took a look, her face showing shock.
"You're not a soldier, and you're so young, how could you have achieved such a great feat?"
Bai Jiu glanced at her. "This is none of your business."
The employee's face darkened, and she seemed a little unhappy, but it was her job, and she couldn't ignore it.
She first checked the authenticity of the documents on the computer, and then carefully compared Bai Shuang's ID card and merit certificate.
Unable to find anything wrong with it, he made a phone call, presumably to ask his superior for instructions.
Then, she took out a printed contract and reluctantly threw it at Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang didn't care about her attitude; as long as the matter was handled well, that was enough.
According to regulations, she can only be rented ten acres, and the rent is very high.
The annual rent per mu is as high as 1,000 jin of dry grain.
Before coming here, Bai Shuang learned that if the planting platform provides full heating and supplemental lighting, it can harvest three crops a year, with decent yields each season, and the yield of dry grain can reach 1,000 jin per mu.
However, the investment required for supplemental lighting, heating, and labor costs would amount to one-third of the production output.
In other words, even after a year of hard work, you can only lose one-third of your earnings.
(But for ordinary survivors, this was very tempting, because a thousand catties of grain was enough to feed several people for a year.)
There was no other way; we had to rent it no matter how expensive it was. Fortunately, the white frost was just a cover.
As for the land outside the oval, firstly, there are too many thieves, making defense too costly; secondly, the cost of warming is too high.
It's extremely cold outside, and just raising the temperature would be enough to cause serious injury, at a huge cost. Although the ellipsoidal shell inside the base wasn't shut down, there was heating in the rooms because there were many people.
Due to heat conduction and convection, plus the fact that the base shell itself has an insulating effect.
Therefore, the outdoor temperature is 20 to 30 degrees Celsius higher than the frigid minus 50 degrees Celsius outside the ellipsoid.
This will greatly reduce energy consumption in terms of heating, and the proximity makes it convenient to take care of.
Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu carefully reviewed the contract. Half of the rent had to be paid upfront, with the other half due at the end of the year. The location of the rented planting platform was also clearly marked.
Both parties signed and stamped the document, and the amount of half the rent payable was calculated.
Five thousand catties of grain is equivalent to twenty-five thousand points.
Just as I was about to transfer points, the phone on the workbench rang.
The female employee answered the phone and then demanded that Bai Shuang pay the full amount.
Bai Jiu: "The contract says to pay half, why do we have to pay the full amount?"
"How much you pay is up to us. If you can't afford it, then don't rent it."
"you?"
In a fit of anger, Bai Jiu wanted to go up and hit her, but Bai Shuang held him back.
"Woof woof..."
The snow leopard waiting at the door sensed something was wrong and barked inside, but Bai Shuang stopped it with a look.
Bai Shuang grabbed the signed and stamped contract and stood up.
"You don't want half the rent?"
The employee, still fuming, turned his face away and said, "No!"
Bai Shuang nodded, put the contract into her bag, and gestured for Bai Jiu to leave.
The two walked out the door, and the snow leopard immediately followed...
………………
Even after they left, the public official was still gloating.
"Hmph, I said full payment means full payment. If you can't afford it, don't rent!"
I've always disliked you. You come here to do business and don't even bring gifts. How can you come empty-handed?
How dare you offend Dr. Kang? Aren't you courting death? If you get sick in the future, there will be nowhere to get treatment.
She muttered to herself as she walked toward the lounge.
Just then, the office phone rang.
"How about it?"
The female employee said, "The rental didn't go through."
I demanded full payment of the rent, but she couldn't afford it and left.
"She...she can't afford it? No way, she couldn't possibly not be able to afford this little bit of rent. She might have gone to your superiors. Be careful."
However, tripping them up a bit isn't bad either; they can come back and claim the reward later.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid even if she brings in the boss. I'll just say I want to get more turnover points for the department."
………………
On the road.
Bai Jiu asked angrily, "Miss, are we not renting it anymore?"
"It's not that we're not renting anymore, it's that we've already found a place."
"You...you got the rental?"
"Didn't you manage to rent one?"
Bai Shuang's lips curled up as she took the contract out of her bag, waved it in front of Bai Jiu, and then put it back in.
He immediately realized, "That's right, the contract has been signed, stamped, and is in effect!"
He slapped his forehead. "Why didn't I think of that?"
"You're just getting angry. In the future, try to stay calm when things happen."
Bai Jiu said excitedly, "Then let's strike while the iron is hot and take over the planting platform that was assigned to us."
She was left speechless with bitterness and filled with regret.
But what if she bites randomly and says we forced her?
"They have security cameras in their office, and we have this too."
Bai Shuang took out a voice recorder.
Miss, you've thought of everything so carefully!
The two people and their dog went to the planting area, where workers were still busy in the rows of insulated greenhouses.
I walked straight to the house next door. The person in charge was a middle-aged man surnamed Ma, who was very cheerful.
He glanced at the signature on the contract, then at the demeanor of Bai Shuang, the two people, and the dog. "You must be Mrs. Lu. I've heard so much about you."
