The base is so small that no news can be hidden.

Xia Huoqu looked up at Shi Jiacheng and asked, "How did you know my family got the honey?"

Shi Jiacheng coughed and said, "The scientists in the White Building mentioned it by the way."

Xia Huoqu looked at Shi Jiacheng quietly.

He was tall, wearing a black T-shirt and black trousers. He was so handsome that he looked difficult to mess with.

Shi Jiacheng spoke more and more quietly, and his eyes were a little evasive when he looked at him.

Xia Huoqu's eyes fell on the others again, and the others avoided his gaze and did not dare to look him in the eye.

He usually didn't talk much, and he looked more dignified than Yan Xinian. Many people in the base were afraid of him.

Xia Huoqu rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

Shi Jiacheng coughed lightly and whispered, "I was just about to knock on the door."

Chen Laocai parked the cart in front of Xia Lunong's house, "Deputy Captain Xia, have I unloaded the goods?"

Xia Huoqu nodded, "I'll go in and weigh the rice for you."

Shi Jiacheng and his friends came over to help unload the pottery jars with great eyesight.

Xia Huoqu pushed the door open and heard his brother's excited voice as soon as he opened the door, "Let's fry some bee pupae tonight? What do you think of pepper and salt bee pupae?"

Yan Xinian's voice came out with a smile, "As long as it's made by you, I think it's okay."

Xia Huoqu knocked on the door lightly.

His brother poked his head out of the kitchen, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up, and then his whole face lit up instantly, revealing a relaxed and beaming smile, "Brother! Has the clay jar been exchanged? We have filtered two bottles of honey!" "

It has been exchanged. Wash it first, and then turn it upside down to dry tonight, and you can use it to store honey tomorrow."

"Okay!" Xia Lunong was sharp-eyed, and saw that there was more than just Mr. Chen outside the door, and she was a little confused, "Are there any guests?"

"They all want to exchange honey."

Xia Lunong glanced at Yan Xinian, then at Kong Zhi, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still exchanging honey?"

Who would have too much of such good things? Their family is not short of supplies recently.

Xia Huoqu also looked at Kong Zhi and Yan Xinian, and said, "I'll listen to you."

Yan Xinian whispered, "Just exchange some of them. We don't need so much, and honey has a shelf life."

"Ah, how do we exchange them?"

Yan Xinian put his arm around his shoulders and lowered his voice very low, "Raise the price first and see if we can exchange it for something good."

As he spoke, Yan Xinian looked at his fairy-like face and said, "Uh," "Forget it, we'll do this job. Xiao Nong, you stay here."

Xia Lunong felt discriminated against and muttered, "It's just exchanging some things, who can't do it?"

Yan Xinian bumped his shoulder and smiled coaxingly, "Then let's try it?"

Let's try it!

Xia Lunong walked out of the door and wanted to bring the pottery jar in. She said directly, "Sorry, everyone, we won't exchange the honey at home."

"Huh?" An unexpected voice came from the crowd.

The group of people stood there like their feet were rooted. Many people wanted to speak but didn't know how to speak.

Shi Jiacheng said tentatively, "Change it. We can discuss the materials. Look at my piglets. They are so cute and round."

Shi Jiacheng took one out and showed it to Xia Lunong, "Xiao Nong, look at my piglets. They have been raised. You can continue to raise them. They will weigh more than 100 kilograms in half a year."

The piglet whined in his hand.

Xia Lunong's eyes fell on the piglets.

The little pigs were round, white, and clean, and indeed very cute.

What made him a little moved was that the four little pigs were also very cute after being transformed. One of them had a horn on its forehead, and the other three had mutated tails. They did not look as ferocious or scary as other mutated animals.

Shi Jiacheng looked at his expression and said, "My daughter's health is not good, so I'll change some honey to supplement her. I hope she can transform into a beast soon, and the beast form she changes into can be a beast."

Shi Jiacheng said this first, and the group of people behind him didn't expect him to play the emotional card right away, and they spoke up unwillingly:

"I'm changing some for my mother. She hasn't been able to sleep for nights recently."

"I'm changing it for my wife. She just got pregnant. I want to give her some nutrition."

"I, I, I'm changing it for my son. He's growing up too!"

Xia Lunong is no longer the naive college student before the disaster. He reminded them, "This honey is not a panacea. If you really have a problem, go see Dr. Ou. He's better."

As soon as Xia Lunong said this, the crowd quieted down.

Soon, a young man jumped out of the crowd and shouted, "I'll exchange it with myself. This is not an immoral kidnapping. If it's suitable, you can exchange it. If it's not suitable, don't exchange it."

Xia Lunong took a closer look at him and recognized that the guy's name was Yan Ningwang. He often hung out with Xiao Tang and his friends who sold seeds. Xia Lunong had been to Zhangshu County with him before. They were friends who had been through thick and thin together.

Yan Ningwang saw that there was a chance and hurriedly shouted, "I have a carton of soft Chinese cigarettes here, with a total of ten small packs. They are all genuine products produced before the disaster. They will be gone after smoking. Can I exchange one carton for one kilogram?"

Xia Lunong looked at him with a difficult expression on her face.

Yan Xinian came out of the house and laughed, "What are you thinking? We grow cigarettes in our base. One cigarette for one pound of honey, do you think it's okay?"

Yan Ningwang said with a playful smile, "I'm just quoting the price. If it doesn't work, you guys name a number."

Yan Xinian smokes, and his brother smokes occasionally.

Xia Lunong looked at the pig in Shi Jiacheng's hand, thought for a while and said to Yan Ningwang, "Half a tael."

Yan Ningwang took a breath of cool air, "Half a tael? This is my soft Chinese cigarette!"

Half a tael is only 25 grams, which is only enough for two mouthfuls of honey. What can half a tael do? !

Xia Lunong said, "Soft Chinese cigarettes are rare, but it's not difficult to collect them outside. The honey we harvested today is the honey of mutant bees. We risked our lives to harvest it, so let it go."

Yan Ningwang showed a struggling expression on his face, and smiled bitterly, "This is the most precious thing in my hand."

Xia Lunong didn't give any extra expression.

Yan Ningwang saw that the exchange was about to fall through, and immediately said, "Switch, swap, swap, I'll swap, half an ounce is half an ounce, what do you want to put it in?"

Xia Lunong asked, "Do you have a scale?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Someone in the crowd answered, "I have a small scale for weighing food at home, is that okay?"

Xia Lunong nodded.

"Then wait for me, I'll be back soon." The person who spoke put the things he brought into his arms and immediately trotted home to get the scale.

Xia Lunong's price reduction was too harsh.

Everyone was eager to make a move, but no one spoke first.

After a while, someone wanted to exchange medicine for honey with Xia Lunong, but was rejected by Xia Lunong. He had not yet completely exchanged the medicine he found last time. There were several rows of vitamins, calcium tablets and other pills at home. The shelf life of these things was much shorter than honey, so it didn't make sense to exchange them.

Xia Lunong rejected several people in a row, and seemed to have no interest in what they brought.

Yan Ningwang, who had just exchanged the soft cigarettes, took a breath, smiling with a heartache.

Xia Lunong was about to ask everyone to go back, but Shi Jiacheng spoke up, "Xiao Nong, how much can I get in exchange for honey?"

Xia Lunong looked at his piglets.

Shi Jiacheng smiled bitterly, "My family has lived next to the pig pen for half a year to protect this litter of piglets. In the end, it was not easy to raise each one so fat." There

are only two or three families raising pigs in the base now, and Shi Jiacheng's family is one of them. No one else can afford to raise pigs.

In addition to these families, there are only five pigs raised in the base, and they are piglets born from mutant wild boars.

Shi Jiacheng's pigs are indeed the best pigs in the base.

Xia Lunong was not very good at speaking.

Yan Ningwang's Ruan Huayan was brought in from outside, mainly by luck.

Shi Jiacheng's pigs were raised by them with great effort, and the family didn't know how much effort they put in.

Xia Lunong felt bad for giving too little, but it would definitely not work if he gave too much.

He thought for a while and said, "Come in and talk, we'll talk slowly."

The others stretched their necks to see the excitement, but they were a little disappointed when they heard Xia Lunong's words.

The man who went home to get the scale came back soon, and Xia Lunong borrowed his scale, but didn't like the Cordyceps he brought, so she had to decline.

After the accounts were settled, the crowd that had gathered around Xia Lunong's house dispersed. Only Shi Jiacheng was welcomed in, along with the piglets he had taken good care of.

Xia Lunong glanced at his two brothers, neither of whom wanted to speak.

Yan Xinian still had a smile on his face as if he was watching a good show.

He turned his head to look at Kong Zhi, who was running into the kitchen to cut bitter melon.

This matter could only be discussed by himself.

Xia Lunong asked his brother, "Brother, are we having trouble finding a place to raise pigs?"

Shi Jiacheng immediately said, "You can rent land to build a pig pen. The Lu family's pig pen is rented on the hillside to the east."

"It's so far away, it must be difficult to take care of it, right?"

"It's not difficult, I'll take care of it." Shi Jiacheng saw that he wanted to lower the price, but he had no choice. "I won't hide this from you, a lot of people have come to ask, some are willing to pay 50 or 60 kilograms of rice for one, but I didn't agree."

Xia Lunong said, "It's really a good pig, otherwise I wouldn't hesitate."

"Why are you hesitating?" Shi Jiacheng took out another pig to show him, "Look at this pink and white piglet, it's the offspring of pure domestic pigs, it's been raised, I guarantee it won't have any smell when it grows up, the meat is also tender and fragrant. Just based on this, my pig is unique, right?"

Shi Jiacheng was telling the truth. There were indeed almost no domestic pigs in the base, and the meat of wild boars' offspring was coarse and smelly, and had to be suppressed with heavy seasonings. There were limited ways to cook it, and it would be like that if you ate too much.

Xia Lunong thought for a moment, "If I exchange this pig with you for honey and rice, will you trade it?"

Xia Lunong looked at his brother and said after a pause, "For example, one ounce of honey and fifty kilograms of rice in exchange for a piglet, how about that?"
