Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 48 You may make a lot of money, but I definitely won’t lose (for “If the Hurricane Derails”)

After Tang Anguo finished speaking, he walked to a tree that was as tall as a person and picked an apple as big as a fist. He bit into it without even washing it.

With a "crunch" sound, the sweet juice of the apple overflowed in his mouth, like a tornado destroying a parking lot, instantly conquering his taste buds, and then he swallowed the whole apple in a few bites.

Just as Tang Anguo was savoring the sweetness with his eyes closed, his subordinate next to him pointed at the apple tree and exclaimed.

"Captain Tang Tang, look!"

Tang Anguo heard the shouting of the people next to him and couldn't help but feel a little angry, "What are you doing? It's just an apple. What's the fuss? If City Lord Li hears us, he will think we are country bumpkins who have never eaten an apple."

After glaring at him, Tang Anguo looked up and saw that the branch from which he had just picked the apple was growing a new fruit!
As he watched, in just a few seconds, a new apple appeared on the branch.

"what?!"

“Automatic refill?”.
"Wife, come out and see God!"

Tang Anguo was going crazy, he was really stunned by the shock of this scene.

"City Lord Li, what is this?"

"Oh, it's nothing. As long as my energy source continues, there will be plenty of fruit on this tree."

"Eat it all. I said enough is enough."

Li Mu did this not to show off, but to demonstrate his abilities so that he could take more initiative in the subsequent transactions.

"Alright, alright, stop looking like you've never seen the world before."

After Tang Anguo calmed down, he walked forward, picked a bunch of grapes, handed it to his subordinates, and then picked up a bunch and started eating.

While eating the equally delicious grapes and looking at the new fruits growing on the vines, Tang Anguo's eyes twitched and he could only pretend to remain calm.

"The things I want to use to pay off my debt include fruit trees like this one. What do you think, Captain Tang?"

Li Mu looked at the people in the shelter who were enjoying the fruit and stated his purpose at the right time.

"This fruit tree is of course excellent, but doesn't the growth of this fruit require you to provide energy?"

Although Tang Anguo was shocked by the scene just now, he was not stupid. Without Li Mu's source energy, the fruit trees would be just ordinary fruit trees. But unknowingly, he naturally changed to honorifics.

"If you want to ensure that the fruit does not decrease, you will naturally need me to continue to replenish the source energy, but what I provide you is something else."

Li Mu stopped talking and looked at everyone with a smile.

Although Tang Anguo knew that Li Mu was waiting for him to continue asking questions, and also knew that he would lose the initiative as soon as he opened his mouth, he still couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Please tell me in detail, Lord Li."

"I will give you a batch of fruit tree seeds that have been charged. As long as you go back and bury them in the soil and then water them, they will grow up in an instant and bear ripe fruits.

The energy I have stored in the seeds is enough for this fruit tree to grow three times. Of course, the type of fruit is up to you to choose. "

Li Mu said calmly.

"Okay, change it!"

"I wonder how City Lord Li plans to change it?"

Tang Anguo was sent to negotiate, so he naturally had a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making. In his opinion, the bigwigs in the shelter would definitely like such a magical fruit tree. After all, even they had not eaten such delicious and fresh fruits for a long time.

"Take the apple tree as an example. How about one apple tree in exchange for 600 kilograms of grain?" Li Mu said softly.

"Well, an average apple tree can only produce a few dozen kilograms of fruit. Isn't your price a bit too high?"

Although Tang Anguo coveted such fruit trees, he could not help but bargain because one kilogram of fruit would be exchanged for about four kilograms of grain.

"I think the price is not expensive. Fresh fruit is different from food. In the current environment, there is no other place that can get fresh fruit except here.

Moreover, my fruit is not an ordinary fruit, you should be able to feel this deeply, right?"

Li Mu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said while looking at everyone.

When Tang Anguo and others heard Li Mu's reply, they couldn't help but smile awkwardly. They should be grateful for what they received, so they should blame themselves for not being able to resist the temptation.

"Please let us discuss it and I will give you an answer later."

"of course can."

When Tang Anguo saw that Li Mu agreed, he immediately pulled the people who were traveling with him to a corner and started discussing in low voices.

These people traveling together, like Tang Anguo, are representatives sent by various forces in the shelter. Their opinions basically represent the opinions of the shelter's top management.

After a cup of tea, Tang Anguo came to Li Mu again and said:
"We still think the price is a bit high. How about one seed for 500 kilograms of grain?"

Li Mu did not give an immediate reply after hearing this, but pondered for a while before speaking:
"Give Captain Tang some face and charge him this price. I owe the shelter 40,000 kilograms of food, which translates to 80 seeds."

"As for what fruit seeds the shelter needs, you can register with the Second City Lord later. I will send someone to deliver them to the shelter in three days."

The deal was done, and both parties were very happy. The representatives were no longer polite. A man in his thirties even asked Li Mu, "What City Lord Li said before, that we can take a copy with us when we leave, is that true?"

After the man finished speaking, the others immediately turned their eyes to Li Mu. It was obvious that they were also very concerned about this matter. After all, it would never be their turn to enjoy the seeds they had exchanged before. How much they could get when they returned later was their real benefit.

"Of course it's true, but I still need to make a deal with the shelter. Why don't you listen first?"

Li Mu naturally would not be stingy with these fruits, as he still had a batch of transactions to discuss with the shelter.

"I wonder what deal City Lord Li wants to discuss?"

Tang Anguo looked at Li Mu in confusion.

"Didn't you say earlier that there were too many people in the shelter and not enough heating supplies?"

"Since there are too many people, and it's difficult to support the shelter, do you intend to transfer some of the population to Wanling City?"

"Of course, even if we move some of the population here, I will still provide a lot of material support to the shelter."

Li Mu stated his purpose. What Wanling City needs most now is population. Going out to look for survivors is nothing compared to asking for people directly from the shelter.

Although he knew that even if he didn't ask, the shelter would beg him to accept a group of people, but as a Chinese citizen, he always remembered a poem:

"There are tens of thousands of mansions and mansions, and the world's poor people are all happy!"

Since he has the ability to protect a part of the tribe, why should he be stingy with this little help!
Of course, he would not directly say that Wanling City was short of people. Instead, he expressed his desire to help the shelter share the pressure.
