The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Seventy-Nine)

Song Ning asked around, and Captain Man told him the price.

Just as Song Ning thought, only they had exchanged two of the greenhouse sets provided by the base a month ago; the others only received the new information today, and the base was probably busy with that right now.

Therefore, it is certain that the lettuce grown in their two greenhouses should be able to sell for a relatively good price within a month. After a month, when the lettuce in the other survivors' greenhouses will be ready for harvest, the price will likely drop significantly.

Captain Man, representing the base, is currently offering a price of one pound of greens for five pounds of cornbread. Song Ning considered this price and thought that although it wasn't particularly high, it was still a pretty good price.

What does Boss Song think?

Captain Man wasn't really confident when he quoted a price. Firstly, vegetables do have a significant effect, and many people at their base suffer from various problems due to a lack of vitamins, the most obvious of which is night blindness.

Many of her men suffer from night blindness; they can't see anything at night.

However, as the base's guards, they are almost always required to go out and be on night watch.

If night blindness is too severe, the risks for them when going out will be relatively high, especially if they happen to encounter zombies.

Song Ning had no idea that Captain Man was thinking so much. He simply considered it objectively. He and Lance's need for lettuce was mainly for himself. Lance didn't seem to rely entirely on human food at the moment and would occasionally go out to "have a snack" on his own.

If he's working alone, he doesn't need to consume too much lettuce, and the price is expected to drop after a month. Why not sell it at a high price for a month?

"Let's talk about the details."

Once the deal was confirmed, Song Ning and Captain Man quickly went back and forth, and in the end, it only took about fifteen minutes to finalize the cooperation.

After that, apart from the batch of lettuce that Song Ning had already harvested, the rest of the lettuce in the greenhouse was supplied to Captain Man at the price set by Captain Man. However, Song Ning suggested that he wanted to exchange some items provided only to the base staff through Captain Man's base benefits.

What he most wanted to exchange for was medicine, but unfortunately Captain Man refused outright.

"To be honest with you, we patrol team members don't even have enough medicine for our own use, so we can't replace it for you."

Song Ning looked slightly disappointed, and Captain Man took the initiative to say, "But if you like anything else, I can help you. For example, would you be interested in other seeds or some seasonings?"

Song Ning was certainly interested in all of these!

He learned that the base still had many good seeds, such as cabbage, green onions, sugarcane, and even fruit seeds, like apples and citrus. Unfortunately, the watermelon that Song Ning most wanted to inquire about was not available, which made him a little disappointed.

But how come there are so many good seeds here at the base?

Song Ning pondered for a moment, then something occurred to her, "Could that research institute from before have been..."

Captain Man saw that he had guessed it and didn't hide it.

"Yes, that research institute is a seed research institute. It has some common seeds, as well as a lot of strange seeds. When we found them, they were in relatively good condition. The greenhouse we provided to you was also found there, so it was a great help."

"So that's it."

Now it's easy to understand. No wonder the base provided so many greenhouse kits and seeds. Song Ning figured it out and wasn't too surprised.

After all, the base had spent so much manpower and resources to go underground. If they hadn't gained anything, they probably wouldn't have been able to develop the crystal core series so quickly, nor would they have launched the greenhouse kit.

In the end, Song Ning exchanged 70% of the corn cakes for the remaining 30% and used some other crop seeds. He was somewhat tempted by sugarcane, but he remembered that sugarcane cultivation was quite particular. If it wasn't grown properly, the dense nodes would be too hard to chew, and it might not even be sweet.

He also tried to exchange for some apple and citrus seeds, not knowing if they could be grown, but what if they could?

Anyway, the area behind this house I bought from the base is quite large, so if we can grow something there, the future looks promising.

"That's all? Okay, I'll have someone deliver the items later. Should I arrange for someone to come and pick them up, or would you like to deliver them to me?"

Song Ning's first reaction upon hearing this was that he didn't want anyone to come over. Before he could even open his mouth to speak, Lance had already taken over the task.

"I'll deliver it before my patrol."

Captain Man nodded, stood up, and put on his hat. "Alright, it's settled then. I have a lot to do, so I'll be going now."

As expected, she got up and left briskly after she finished speaking.

The next day, someone delivered the seeds that Song Ning had requested. Song Ning was also quite sensible and let the other party take away the first batch of harvested lettuce.

The team member's eyes lit up when he got the lettuce. He carefully placed all the lettuce on the truck bed he had brought. Song Ning even lent a hand and took the opportunity to observe the small truck.

This little cart looks like it was homemade at the base. It has a ferry underneath and the whole body is welded together. It looks a bit rough and not very sturdy, but it would obviously be very useful for transporting some lightweight items.

"This little cart is nice. Is it on the exchange list at the base?"

Unfortunately, he received a negative answer, but Song Ning wasn't too discouraged. He thought that he might be able to make a similar one himself, just like the little cart. He wasn't sure if he had the skills to do it.

The harvest of lettuce brought a new wave of supplies, which made Song Ning quite happy, especially as he saw that there were more and more at home, which made him feel even more cheerful.

Not only him, but Lance brought back increasingly more and more things. Most of the time, Lance would choose to eat the meal at the base and then bring back the leftover bread.

But sometimes Lance brings back not biscuits, but things he exchanges with other members of the patrol team.

For example, the rattan basket was obtained by exchanging two cornbreads. Song Ning had a high opinion of the rattan basket, believing that it was not only very practical but also a good value for money.

In short, no matter what, their lives are getting better and better and they have a lot of hope for the future.
