Chapter 492: Selling Food (IV)



hThe base has food!

This news made everyone in the base excited.

Everyone cried with joy. It was great. They finally had food to eat. They didn't have to worry about being starved to death.

After Xie Bin got the food, he returned to his office and quickly worked out a series of plans with his men. The food that Li Xue sold to them was limited, and they had to make the most of it.

Soon, a notice was posted in the square of the base.

The notice stated that all the psychic bases participating in the city defense battle would distribute a certain amount of food for free every day. Except for those who made significant contributions to the base, everyone else in the base had to buy food with crystal cores. The purchase price was the same as before, twelve crystal cores per kilogram. In addition, the base also sold a batch of cheap rice bran and wheat bran, the quantity was limited, and it was sold out while stocks lasted.

Everyone went crazy, and they took all their belongings and rushed to the various food sales offices in the base.

The military dispatched a large number of soldiers to the food sales offices to maintain order. If there were food snatchers, they would be arrested directly, and their relatives would also lose the qualification to buy food. For a while, the order of the base was surprisingly good.

Soon, the first batch of food prepared by the base was sold out at a very fast speed. The people who did not buy food still waited at the food sales office, waiting for the second food sale.

Some superpowers who did not participate in the battle to defend the city could no longer sit still. The days without food were terrible, but now, as long as they joined the battle to defend the city, they could have free food. Then why don't they go?

Some capable ordinary people also began to spontaneously start repairing the base. Didn't you see what was written on the notice? People who made significant contributions to the base may receive free food.

For a time, everyone in the H base was vying to do good deeds and repair the base's facilities.

Li Xue and the others soon learned about the grain sale. Lin Miao said angrily: "This Xie Bin is too amazing. Using this method, not only can the base avoid the phenomenon of food snatching, but it also makes the people willing to pay crystal cores to buy food. I'm afraid that the money he spent on buying food will be earned back soon. No, he can still make money! It's simply too cunning, In this way, he solved the predicament of the base without spending a penny. If he goes into business, he will definitely be a profiteer!" (Xie Bin laughed proudly: Miss Lin has good eyesight, I, Xie, was a profiteer before the end of the world!)

Li Xue shook her head with amusement: "You were still happy that we earned so many crystal cores before, how come you envy others in the blink of an eye?"

"I just feel unbalanced, we can obviously sell the food directly to the people in the base." Lin Miao muttered.

"Well, this is Xie Bin's territory, and he didn't take the opportunity to snatch our food. It's already very good to buy it at a normal price. Don't be too greedy." Li Xue patted Lin Miao's hand. "However, I think Xie Bin will come to us to buy food for the second time soon. He sold the food so quickly, which not only solved the chaos caused by the food in the base, but also quickly made up for the funding gap. With enough crystal cores in hand, he will definitely come to us to buy the remaining food. After all, the H base is so big, it can't last long with just one million kilograms of food."

Sure enough, at dark the next day, Xie Bin came to the city wall and found Li Xue.

Xie Bin smiled and said, "Captain Li, thanks to your food, our base is in urgent need. Thank you so much."

Li Xue smiled and said, "Thank you, sir, for being so polite. It's just a fair trade."

Xie Bin waved his hand and said, "No matter what, our H base owes you a huge favor. By the way, Commander Li, I came here today to buy some more food from you. You also know that the population of H base is huge. , the previous food was sold out in just one day. Now the crystal cores are basically all back, so I want to take advantage of the fact that I have enough crystal cores, and I will buy the remaining food from you as a reserve for the base. Do you think it's okay? "

Li Xue smiled and said, "Of course."

Xie Bin was relieved. He was really worried that Li Xue would not agree before. After all, food is not something that can be obtained just by saying it. However, since Li Xue can sell so much food so readily, does she have more food in her hands? He doesn't believe that Li Xue will cut off the retreat of Hope Base for H Base. There are only two possibilities for her to sell food so readily. One is that she has more food in her hands. The other is that she must have other plans.

However, Xie Bin could not care about anything else now. No matter what Li Xue's trump card or plan was, it was not within his consideration at this time. The food they bought before had been sold out. If they did not buy the food from Li Xue, they would soon face a food shortage again.

Seeing that Li Xue agreed so readily, Lin Miao couldn't help but feel anxious: "You can sell food, but you can't sell it at the same price as before. We sold it so cheaply before because we took the difficulties of H base into consideration. Now that the crisis of H base has been resolved, we naturally can't sell it to you at that price. Otherwise we will suffer too much."

"Lin Miao, what are you talking about?" Li Xue pulled Lin Miao awkwardly, she couldn't raise the price like that.

"Haha, Captain Li, you're welcome. Even if Miss Lin didn't bring it up, I would have to raise the price for you. You can use so much food to help us get through this difficult time, and we can't let you suffer a loss. The previous price was indeed a bit low. How about this, I will charge ten ordinary crystal cores per kilogram for the unprocessed food, and eleven per kilogram for the processed food. What do you think?" Xie Bin said with a smile, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. He didn't expect them to take the opportunity to raise the price.

"That's about right." Lin Miao nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xue sensed Xie Bin's dissatisfaction and raised her eyebrows. If she felt a little embarrassed when Lin Miao brought up the price increase before, she now fully agreed with Lin Miao's move. Xie Bin is really interesting. They just used these grains to help H base overcome difficulties, but now he is dissatisfied with this matter. He changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book! Although this is a fair trade, if you think about it from another angle, if she does not sell these grains to H base, there is only one result waiting for H base, that is, the city will be destroyed and people will die.

Although she did not expect Xie Bin to remember her favor, the speed of his change of attitude is too fast.

Li Xue smiled and said, "If that's the case, let's go to hand over!"

Xie Bin smiled and nodded, "Okay! Let's go to the granary now."

The group followed him to the granary.

After everything was dealt with, a new day came again.

Nearly 10 million crystal cores appeared in Li Xue's space.
