Su Mi followed the boss's voice and looked at Assistant Su.
This woman looks to be in her mid-twenties at most, with slightly dark skin, but nowadays, she is considered to be well-maintained.
Besides, this woman is one of the few people in the crowd who is cleanly dressed and doesn't smell bad.
"Boss, Professor Zhu wants to grow some peppers and eggplants, and asked me to buy some more composite materials for the greenhouse frame. Do you still have them?"
"Yes, there are, but not much. See if the price can be..."
“As long as the quality of the composite material is the same as last time, price is not an issue.”
"Okay, okay, pepper and eggplant, two sets of skeletons are enough? I'll move them out right away."
"That's enough, just help me move to my old place. Thank you boss."
"Hey, Miss Su, don't be polite to me. Just patronize my business more often."
The boss just entered the door and disappeared. The woman suddenly glanced at Su Mi, then smiled and said nothing.
Su Mi's eyebrows suddenly jumped twice. Where did this woman's aloof superiority come from? Su Mi was speechless and turned to leave. Since there was a store selling Dapeng skeleton materials in the base, there must be another store.
She doesn't ask for outstanding quality, as long as it can withstand the cold.
However, as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by the woman.
"Are you here to buy greenhouse frames too?"
Su Mi stopped and looked at her with a puzzled expression but said nothing.
"I just heard you bargaining with the boss."
Su Mi nodded but still didn't speak.
"I've never seen you before. Did you escape from trouble recently? I advise you not to buy materials. There is no way to grow anything in the soil now. No one in the entire base except Professor Zhu can successfully plant it.
It doesn't look easy for you as a girl. Don't worry about it and spend food on useless materials. It's better to change to more hunger-resistant food and eat for a few more days.
The days to come will only get harder and harder. "
When the woman said these words, if her expression wasn't so arrogant and provocative, it would really be a kind reminder to her.
But combined with her expression of "Idle people are just wasting materials here", Su Mi felt despised.
The boss came out of the door, dragging two large rolls of skeleton materials in his hand, and looked at Su Binglan with a smile on his face.
"Assistant Su, please go back first. I will send it to you in a moment."
Su Binglan smiled warmly, "Thank you, boss. The rice has been prepared for you at the planting field. Don't forget to pick it up when you come over soon."
"Yes, yes, please."
Su Binglan turned and left. It was very strange today. Why did she suddenly want to show her superiority in front of a strange girl?
Maybe it’s because the girl is still very elegant even though she’s covered in mud? Or does it look dirty on the outside, but there is still a fragrance of shower gel when you get closer?
But she didn't realize it herself. What kept her calm was the cold eyes that looked down upon everything. It was a status quo that made people try to break the calmness in her eyes at a glance.
The girl's faint voice came from behind. This made her slow down.
"Boss, do you still have the skeleton material? I also want two pieces."
The boss looked disgusted, "Two pictures? Six kilograms of rice, can you afford it?"
Su Mi frowned, "Isn't it a set of two kilograms? Two sets of four kilograms of rice?"
Su Mi's simple interrogation seemed a bit unreasonable to the boss, so she became a little impatient, "I said, are you finished? Even if I give you the price of a set of two kilograms, you can't get it! Let's go, let's go, let's go , don’t disturb my business!”
Su Mi wasn't angry either, "Two pounds per set, boss, I'll be here later."
Su Mi turned around and left without any lingering, which made the boss sneer, "You need to save face if you are so poor! If you can't afford it, you can't afford it, and you have to wait until you come back! Look at how generous Assistant Su is, the little girl nowadays is really in the end of the world. Still doing this vanity thing, blah!"
Su Mi did not go back to the villa to get rice, but continued to browse the shops on both sides of the street. When she saw what she wanted, she went up to ask about the price and haggle, but most of the time she was looked down upon by the store owner and left. .
Su Mi shook her head and didn't care. Compared to the survivors around her who only stared at the items in the store and didn't even have the guts to ask, Su Mi was glad that she had the confidence.
So after visiting all the stores, I roughly figured out the prices of various foods and supplies in the base.
In the base, the most important food is rice and flour. It is said that the army of the base found a small granary in Jiangnan City, so they regularly send people to transport rice and flour back from the granary.
But Su Mi didn't understand. Since there was a granary as the backing of the base's food, why did most people in the base still suffer from hunger and not enough to eat?
Even if the big shots at the top want to stock up on food, they don’t have to do this, right?
Even Chen Jin said before that insiders like him could only eat minced meat and white porridge twice a day. Shouldn't this be true?
As far as she knows, although the granary in Jiangnan City is not the largest, it has abundant grain reserves. A related report before the end of the world calculated that this granary stores nearly two thousand tons of grain, which is enough for one person to eat. a thousand years.
There are about 10,000 people in this base, and the 2,000 tons of food can theoretically be consumed by 10,000 people for at least a year.
Where are the food shortages?
To be on the safe side, Su Mi thought it would be safer to go back to the villa area before going out to buy things. So, when Su Mi came to each store again, she was holding a big bag of rice in her hand.
The boss selling greenhouse skeletons saw Su Mi coming again. He was about to open his mouth to chase people away, but found that Su Mi had taken out a bag full of rice.
"Weigh it, it weighs four pounds. I want two sets of greenhouse frames."
The shop owner looked at Su Mi dumbfounded and couldn't believe that this little girl actually came to buy the greenhouse frame.
Slightly embarrassed but without hesitation, he accepted the four kilograms of rice and asked cautiously, "Well, little girl, you can't lift these two sets of heavy skeletons by yourself. Where do you live? How about I help you?" Will you move there?"
"No, I can just move it myself."
Then, this scene appeared on the shopping street of the base. A little girl, only over 1.6 meters tall, was walking on the road carrying two rolls of material with a diameter about the same as her height.
The strangest thing is that this little girl is so strong that she holds two rolls of material steady with one hand and walks very fast, looking extremely relaxed. .
The boss selling greenhouse skeletons followed Su Mi quietly, and when he finally saw her walking into the villa area, his expression suddenly became exciting. He quickly gave himself a big slap.
"You are allowed to judge a person by his appearance! You are allowed to judge a person by his appearance! Now you are in trouble!"
Of all the people who live in the villa area, who is easy to mess with! Last time, there was a clothing store owner who quoted a high price to a rich second generation living in a villa area. As a result, a week later, the owner of the clothing store suddenly disappeared.
When he reappeared, the man was skinny and skinny, with wounds all over his body, and the shop was gone. I heard that he now lived in a bungalow, and lived a life as bad as a pig or a dog every day. It was so miserable that his mother opened the door to Misery, and he was so miserable.
He returned to the shop and delivered the skeleton materials that Professor Zhu needed, and then immediately went back to close the shop early. Carrying the four-kilogram bag of rice paid by Su Mi, he stood upright at the door of the villa area and waited. With.
It was getting dark slowly, and many people who lived in the villa area saw such a person standing at the door when they went home, poking their heads respectfully.
Until it was completely dark, the girl who bought two sets of greenhouse frames from him did not show up again.
