He glanced at the signature on the contract, then at the demeanor of Bai Shuang, the two people, and the dog.
"You must be Madam Lu. I've heard so much about you."
Bai Shuang: "No, I'm just like everyone else, trying to make a living in this apocalypse."
The man's impression of Bai Shuang improved even more; she was young, had an extraordinary presence, yet was neither arrogant nor impatient.
There were no problems with the contract, and he quickly signed it. Then he went over and pointed out the planting platform that belonged to Bai Shuang to the two of them.
There are still glass greenhouses, heating and lighting facilities, and some platforms have even been planted with the next season's crops. However, most of these five acres are empty land where crops have just been harvested.
"If you leave all this equipment behind, you'll have to pay an additional fee."
They also hoped to stay to avoid the losses from dismantling the defenses.
Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu looked them over and found they were still about 70-80% new.
Bai Jiu handed over a pack of cigarettes. "Then stay here. You calculate how many points it costs, and we'll pay you now."
As resources become increasingly scarce in the apocalypse, the supplies stored in the space should be left unused if possible.
The middle-aged man nodded, "But we'll have to wait until tomorrow. It's mid-month, and I'm currently settling wages with the workers."
Bai Jiu: "You see, everyone is very busy. It's not easy for us to come all this way. We just want to get everything done today. It's okay if our wages are paid a day late."
As she spoke, Bai Shuang handed over another two jin of snow rat meat.
"Since you're all busy, let's take care of this first. I'll catch up on the settlement tonight."
If a five-acre glass greenhouse is converted to 80% new condition, each acre is worth 40,000 points. For five acres, that's 200,000 points.
Including heating and lighting equipment, that adds up to 50,000 points, for a total of 250,000 points.
That's really expensive. I'll check Lu Yu's salary card when I get home tonight; he must have at least several hundred thousand.
Although these are expensive, they can be used indefinitely if they are not damaged by external forces. They can even be stored in space before an Earth storm arrives, and then used again later.
When paying the points, Bai Shuang took out a card, swiped it, and found that it only had 150,000 points, still 100,000 short.
Just as Bai Shuang was about to take the second card, she heard the uncle say, "If you don't have any more, you can owe me. I trust Mrs. Lu."
"Thank you, but I have another one here, so you don't need to owe me."
By the afternoon, even the boundaries of the area had been marked, and planting could begin tomorrow.
When Bai Shuang left, she gave the uncle a packet of tea.
"Please help look after the farm from now on."
"You're too kind, it was nothing at all."
On the way back, Bai Jiu asked, "Miss, the planting platform can start tomorrow. Should we hire people first, or rent a place first?"
"Let's rent a place first, otherwise, we don't even have an office."
It's okay to delay planting for a day or two in those areas.
The two had agreed to look for a place to live the next day, but neither of them expected that plans would change.
The planting platform wasn't far from Bai Shuang's new home, so the two of them and their dog took it as a walk to familiarize themselves with the base before heading home.
As I passed the base entrance, I saw a crowd gathered, and there seemed to be some noise.
"Miss, there's a medical dispute at Kang Family Hospital."
Bai Shuang was also curious: With such strict measures at the Kyoto base, how could anyone cause trouble?
The two of them had nothing to do, so they wanted to go over and take a look.
Before I even got close, I heard a woman's voice.
"I already told you, they're off work, there are no doctors available."
Only when I got closer could I see clearly that it was the woman who was speaking loudly.
She wore a light pink, form-fitting down jacket that accentuated her curvaceous figure.
She wore a white knitted hat over her long hair.
Bai Jiu whispered, "Isn't this Miss Kang, who was hospitalized a few days ago due to excessive indulgence?"
Male voice: "Go to the emergency room after get off work; his injury can't wait."
"Unfortunately, everyone is on holiday today, there are no doctors available, and the emergency room is closed."
Someone nearby said, "Isn't that the doctor standing next to you?"
"I've seen them at the hospital; they're doctors."
Ms. Kang: "So what? I'm off work, no more treatment."
A weak voice came from the car: "Don't beg them anymore, let's go. From now on, we Bai family members will never come to Kang family hospital, even if it means death."
Upon hearing the name "Bai family," Bai Shuang felt a sudden pang in her heart, and Bai Jiu heard it too.
The two quickly pushed through the crowd and walked towards the injured person.
Seeing the two squeeze in, the snow leopard leaped over the heads of the group.
Someone in front of me said, "What fell from the sky?"
Upon closer inspection, it was "Howling... Howling Celestial Dog!"
From then on, a story circulated in the base: someone saw Howling Dog descend from the sky!
It was eight feet tall, with a head bigger than a bull's head and eyes like copper bells.
As soon as it came down, it stayed by Miss Bai's side.
When Bai Shuang heard these things later, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but in the base, many people looked at the snow leopard with awe.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
When the snow leopard heard someone call it Howling Dog, it arrogantly turned its head away, ... I am not Howling Dog, I am your Grandpa Snow.
Then, he voluntarily squatted down in front of the car door to act as a guard.
The people around were also startled. Where did this dog come from?
They quickly retreated.
The injured man lay on the tram, pale-faced and sweating profusely.
"Miss!"
Judging from appearances, Bai Shuang is not familiar with him, but Miss Kang was able to refuse to treat him, and he could call her "Miss," so she must be a member of the Bai family.
His ankle was severely swollen, clearly a traumatic fracture, and there was still a bleeding wound.
She didn't even have time to ask him anything. She took out a thermos of spring water from her bag, then took out hemostatic medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine and put them in.
