After the meal, Kong Jianming let out a sigh of relief, with a look of satisfaction on his face, "I am so full! I don't know how long it has been since I ate so full, and it's all thanks to you guys!"
Hearing Kong Jianming say this, Su Nian laughed, "Captain Kong, what you said is serious. You brought so many eggs! You must have exchanged them for a lot of things, right?"
"Of course not! That's one month's salary!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Kong Jianming was stunned, then he covered his mouth regretfully, and then laughed awkwardly, "Well, I was not thinking clearly just now, and I was just talking in my sleep!"
Wu Yue said with her big eyes flashing, "It's not even dark yet! You're already talking in your sleep?"
Perhaps he didn't expect Wu Yue to say such a thing. Kong Jianming's expression was somewhat awkward, "Well..."
Su Nian looked at Kong Jianming curiously, "Captain Kong, you used a month's salary to exchange for a basket of eggs. If your wife knew, wouldn't she make you kneel on the washboard?"
"How can I have a wife?" Kong Jianming's voice became much higher, and his expression became smug. "I am alone, and if I eat well, the whole family will not be hungry. Who dares to make me kneel on the washboard?"
Being alone should obviously be a sad topic, but what does Kong Jianming's smug look mean?
Without Su Nian and the others asking any more questions, Kong Jianming explained directly, "I came to you to see! I don't have a wife, no relatives or friends, I can eat whatever I want, how free! No worries!"
At first glance, this statement seems to be true.
chapter
In some ways, this is good.
Wasn’t Su Nian in the same state at the beginning of the end of the world!
There is nothing better than feeling alone and free from all worries.
Although Kong Jianming said that if one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry, but a month's salary is gone in an instant. What will they eat for the next month?
Su Nian did not say what was in his mind directly, but looked at Jing Mo.
After receiving Su Nian's gaze, Jing Mo smiled at Su Nian and nodded, making Su Nian feel at ease.
Some things are indeed more convenient to say between men.
With Jing Mo around, Su Nian doesn't have to worry about these things.
After only a short rest, the four of them cleaned up the pots and pans together.
After sitting down again, they started chatting.
Kong Jianming carefully described the current situation of the First Base.
In fact, there is no difference from what I said before, it’s just explained in more detail.
Jing Mo was not interested in what he had already learned. He was more curious about the situation in the underground city.
"What's the situation in the dungeon now?"
"The underground city!" Kong Jianming's expression became somewhat helpless when he talked about this. "The underground city was built, and the people in the base lived there for a while. But it was only for a while. Most people didn't like the underground life and wanted to go back to live on the ground.
After the leaders held a meeting and discussed it, they respected everyone's ideas and let people choose freely. Those who want to live in the underground city can live in the underground city, and those who don't want to live in the underground city can move back to the ground to live. Because survival is becoming more and more difficult now, the base has begun to reduce rent.
For example, the suite you lived in before only costs five contribution points a month."
"Five?!"
Even though Su Nian understood that life was not easy for everyone, he was still shocked when he heard this.
When she first rented the place, it cost her 100 contribution points a month.
The rent dropped from 100 contribution points to 5 contribution points. To describe it as a fire sale would be an understatement.
Kong Jianming smiled and glanced at Su Nian, "I know what you are shocked about. When the rent price keeps falling, many people who rent houses at high prices are protesting and clamoring to refund the rent difference of previous years. But how is that possible?
Over the past few years, there have been fewer people in the base, and there have been poor harvests and frequent insect plagues, which is why the rent has dropped. What does it have to do with the past, don’t you think? "
Su Nian looked at Kong Jianming with amusement, "Captain Kong, you said that as if you were afraid that we would ask you to refund the rent."
Kong Jianming was not embarrassed at all when his thoughts were exposed. Instead, he burst into laughter. "Isn't this just a joke? You don't know, my life is so chaotic every day, and I have endless things to deal with every day. Opportunities like this to sit together and chat and have fun are so rare."
After hearing what Kong Jianming said, Su Nian and the other two expressed their understanding.
It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the higher the position, the more things to do. This is the case with Kong Jianming now.
After talking about the situation at the First Base, Kong Jianming asked Su Nian and Jing Mo, "When you did it, didn't you say you were going to the Second Base? Why did you come back with the people from the Fourth Base?"
Before Jing Mo could answer, he sighed, "We were indeed heading for the Second Base, and we did successfully reach the Second Base, but things are unpredictable. Not long after we arrived at the Second Base, a tsunami occurred and the Second Base was flooded. Fortunately, we were in a very sturdy high-rise building at the time, so we were not washed away.
Later, when the Second Base was relocated, we followed them to the Third Base, and later to the Fourth Base. This time, we came here to exchange for snow fruits, so we followed them back as well."
Speaking of snow fruit, Jing Mo also thought of the main business, "How was the snow fruit matter discussed? How many snow fruits are there in the base?"
Speaking of this, Kong Jianming felt fortunate. "Fortunately, at the beginning, we asked the entire base to grow snow fruits together. In order to better store them, we specially dug a very deep ice cellar and stored all the snow fruits in it. Although some of them have been consumed in the past two years, it is only a very small part, and there are still quite a lot left.
As for how to exchange them, it has yet to be determined. This is a big deal after all, and it is not something I can decide on my own. The base will have to hold a meeting to study it.”
This answer did not surprise the three of them.
For a major matter like this, it is indeed necessary to study it carefully before making a decision.
After all, it is not easy to negotiate a result that satisfies both parties.
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with them, they were just asking casually.
At this time, Kong Jianming looked at Wu Yue again, "I heard from Captain Wang that it was you who developed the medicine from the snow fruit. You are amazing."
Wu Yue never knew what humility was. When she heard Kong Jianming's praise, she nodded immediately and said, "I am indeed very good."
