Chapter 41 South City Base
It turned out that it was the fruit seeds that Professor Zhao applied for a few days ago, and the above has already approved it!

To Gu Xi's surprise, Professor Zhao applied for so many kinds of fruit seeds, and all of them were approved by the above.

Of course, it's not just Professor Zhao's credit, Shen Yue and Xu Yiersan also contributed behind the scenes...

Even Wei Heng went to find Ye Junhan... It's just that Gu Xi didn't know about it.

"Have the seeds arrived?" She tilted her head and asked Shen Yue.

Shen Yue found that when this girl mentioned fruit seeds, her eyes suddenly lit up a little, presumably she is also a fellow?

It's just that he's not picky, as long as it's delicious, he likes it; but Gu Xi probably likes fruit especially?
Shen Yue squatted next to her, smiled and said: "Not so fast, the seeds are still in the Nancheng base at the moment, and they will be sent along with the supplies in a few days..."

But Gu Xi didn't want to wait a day.

During this period of time, apart from watermelon, she can only eat some tomatoes occasionally to satisfy her cravings. Now that fruit seeds have finally arrived, how can Gu Xi wait?

She decided to go directly to Nancheng Base to pick up the goods.

Wei Heng remembered the girl's simple and rough way of shopping without even asking the price when he returned to the camp last time. After thinking about it, he gently reminded: "It's not impossible to go to the Nancheng base, but it's a waste of energy to run empty. No, let's plant another crop of watermelons?"

"Yes." Gu Xi thought for a while, and said, "But we don't grow watermelons, this time we sell sweet potatoes."

In today's big environment, people who can afford watermelon are, after all, a minority.

But sweet potatoes are different.

As one of the staple foods, as long as it is not the kind of family that is too poor to open the pot, they are probably willing to spend a few extra dollars to buy a few catties of sweet potatoes with a lower coefficient of variation to improve the family's food...

Gu Xi is not the Holy Mother, and she alone cannot save everyone.

But within her means, she doesn't mind doing a little more.

Left and right, what to plant is all the same to her.

Just do it, Wei Heng has already got on the farming machine.

The two sisters of the Qin family were also called by Shen Yue to help.

Obviously, everyone wants to eat... all kinds of fruits grown by Gu Xi himself.

Several people worked together, and soon, sweet potatoes covered the entire hillside.

Wei Heng had already driven the big truck over, and the two sisters of the Qin family were squatting on the ground to pick up sweet potatoes.

Shen Yue walked up to Gu Xi, stared at the sweet potatoes in the field and frowned slightly: "This time the sweet potatoes... Gu Xiaoxi, are you sure you want to send these sweet potatoes to the Nancheng base?"

Shen Yue bent down to pick up a sweet potato, and turned his head to look at Gu Xi.

The coefficient of variation of these sweet potatoes is lower than those grown several times before.

From Shen Yue's point of view, this is even a bit scary.

"You have to try." Gu Xi bent down and picked up the sweet potatoes in the field into the basket beside him.

Of course she knows that in the last days, these sweet potatoes will attract coveted, even malicious schemes...

But in the current situation, blindly keeping a low profile and avoiding it is not the answer.

At this time, she had to find another way.

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows, threw the sweet potatoes in his hand into her box, and asked her casually: "Then, have you ever thought about farming for the military in the future?"

Apart from other things, at least Gu Xi's safety, he can guarantee.

As for other troubles. From the perspective of these sweet potatoes, the old man should be willing to help fight it.

"Thank you, but there's no need for that." Gu Xi has the ability to protect himself, but there's no need to explain it to others.

She carried a basket of sweet potatoes into the truck, and forcibly changed the subject, "Where do I get the seeds after arriving at the base? Do you need a certificate from the professors?"

After all, those fruit seeds were all applied in the name of Professor Zhao's laboratory.

Shen Yue stared at her for a while, and then said: "Go to the logistics department of the base, there is a department in charge of seeds, as for the others, you don't need to worry about it."

He clicked on his personal terminal, shook it, obviously prepared for it: "I have already finished the procedure here, you can just go directly..."

"Okay, thank you very much." Gu Xi opened the co-pilot's door and got into the car directly.

Wei Heng went around to the other side of the truck, and said to Shen Yue who was following, "Do you want to go together?"

"I really want to go." Shen Yue sighed: "But there is a lot of trouble here, how can I get away? Let Qin Yi go with you."

Qin Yi washed his hands with supernatural powers, dried the water droplets in his hands, and climbed to the side of the co-pilot.

The two girls are both slender and slender, and they can sit down even if they are squeezed together.

Wei Heng nodded, and was about to step on the accelerator, but Shen Yue suddenly held down the car door with one hand, and reached into the window with the other, stopping him.

Wei Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked up: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Shen Yue stared at him for a long time, making sure that he really didn't understand, so he could only open his hands to him again: "Give me the key to the kitchen... You guys will be away for two or three days, I will stay at home and watch." The miserable people at home, don’t you want to eat?”

The corner of Wei Heng's mouth twitched: "..." He was still looking after the house, as if it was your house.

Pressing the key heavily into someone's palm with a blank expression, Wei Heng stepped on the gas pedal hard, and the big truck started speeding across the field full of weeds.

Gu Xi opened the car window, and the wind blew over, carrying the unique smell of different plants, it was a bit fishy, ​​but not unpleasant.

Through the car window, Gu Xi looked back, and her eyes fell on the iron house in the distance. At this moment, she suddenly felt a kind of... nostalgia for home?

This feeling is very strange, and it is quite inexplicable.

But Gu Xi unexpectedly liked it.

She thought that from now on, she would also have a family.

……

At 03:30 in the morning, after more than ten hours of bumpy roads, the truck stopped outside the gate of the Nancheng base.

Different from the darkness and silence in the imagination, the Nancheng base at 03:30 in the morning was brightly lit and crowded with people.

"There is a morning market here." Seeing Gu Xi's surprised face, Wei Heng explained.

After turning on his personal terminal and checking his identity, Wei Heng drove the truck into the Nancheng Base.

From a distance, Gu Xi saw a huge shed area, which was probably the morning market that Wei Heng was talking about.

Taking advantage of the early time, Wei Heng and Gu Xi discussed it and decided to advance to the trading market, and then go to get the seeds after selling the sweet potatoes.

The morning market in the Nancheng base is full of people coming and going, it is very big and lively, besides the free market, there is also an official purchase window.

Wei Heng parked the car directly in front of the official purchase window.

After getting off the car, he directly found the staff here, and the next step was to check the coefficient of variation, weigh, and settle accounts...

Gu Xi looked at the side for a while, and when Wei Heng was notified to pay the bill, she asked in surprise, "That's the end? Don't you even negotiate the price?"

Wei Heng explained: "Food is different from vegetables and fruits. The purchase prices of the bases are all uniform. According to different coefficients of variation, the prices are different..."

Therefore, once the coefficient of variation is determined, it is equal to the price.

As soon as he said that, Gu Xi understood.

Although the current situation is difficult, the price of food is still under the unified control of the state. Only in this way can the livelihood of the people in the major bases be maintained stable.

Gu Xi went to the free market again, only to realize that she still doesn't know enough about the world 30 years later.

Although the food crisis has caused people's livelihood to be difficult, in fact, other than food, the prices of other things are quite normal. After all, they are regulated by the state, such as clothes and other necessities.

Unlike 30 years ago, these daily necessities were extremely scarce.

After observing, Gu Xi found that the entire trading market is in order, the prices of things are not expensive, and private transactions are also allowed, but the limited purchase policy of the base is not like before the end of the world where you can buy at will.

In the market, there are also many garrison personnel patrolling to maintain order...

Soon after paying the bill, Wei Heng came over and said, "Let's go, although our sweet potatoes are selling at a bit of a loss, the price is not bad."

Gu Xi felt that the logic of these words was a bit wrong.If the price is not bad, how can you lose money?
