Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 56 The First Transaction

"Crash!"

Big raindrops fell, and in less than three seconds the father and daughter were soaked from head to toe.

A mutant grass sprout poked its head out of the burnt soil on the roadside, but it shrank back as it came into contact with the rain.

Such fragile young grass also knows to fear rain that carries the SHASI virus.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was worried and scared at first, but she soon found that she was fine after being caught in the rain. She was conscious and even a little excited.

The wind and rain wrapped in yellow mud splashed onto the legs and face, making people unhappy.

To Zhao Gang, rainwater was no different from ordinary water. He lifted up his clothes and covered the cub completely to block the splashing mud and water.

But the feeling of being in the rain was not comfortable at all. Zhao Gang just wanted to get home with his cub as soon as possible. He pushed hard with his feet, and the two bicycle wheels turned as if they were about to fly.

"Wow!"

The bicycle sped past Territory No. 12, splashing mud and water five meters high. With a "pop" sound, the mud and water splashed onto the walls of the bungalow on the roadside.

There was no glass in the window on the wall, and Dongfang Ling, who was standing by the window, was caught off guard and half of his body was drenched by the splashing mud and water.

Her first reaction was that she was attacked by mutated animals and plants. She quickly raised the shotgun at her feet and pointed it in the direction of the sound.

It turned out to be a bicycle passing by.

and many more.

Isn’t the person with a bulging belly in the car the lord of Territory No. 13 opposite her?
Riding without any protective gear in the SHASI virus rainstorm, and not showing any signs of madness?
As they sped through the rain, the father and daughter felt the shocked gazes from behind.

But the rain was too heavy and there was no time to explain.

When thunder roared in the sky, the father and daughter rushed into the house.

The bicycle was covered in mud, and the father and daughter's backpacks, sacks, and bodies were also covered in mud. Their hair was wet and they looked very disheveled.

But the father and daughter were in a good mood. They smiled at each other, put their things down, made a fire to boil water, and took a bath and did clothes.

An hour later, the rain subsided, and the father and daughter changed their clothes and squatted in front of the stove, facing a pot of mutant sparrow corpses, discussing how to cook this ingredient.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Dad, I want to eat roasted sparrow."

"Then we need salt and cumin." Zhao Gang said firmly, "But we don't have them."

Zhao Xiaoxiu stood up suddenly and decided to call the patrol station.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Wow, is this a patrol station? I'm the daughter of the Lord of Territory No. 13. I have some fresh golden autumn pears here. Do you want any?"

"Yeah, Dad said he wanted some seasonings like oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. OK, I'll ask Dad to pick you up at the door. Goodbye, uncle~"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately made an OK gesture to her father who was standing by the kitchen door and smiling patiently.

Ten minutes later, the sound of a car engine starting was heard outside the door.

Zhao Gang led Mo Shigui and his companions and drove the car directly to the doorstep of their home.

"Master Mo, please come in." Zhao Gang took off his raincoat for show and invited the two in.

Mo Shigui and his companions shook off the water droplets on their rain hats and walked in wearing raincoats and rain boots.

The room is lit by solar lights and has a square table and a fabric sofa. The furnishings are very simple.

The golden autumn pears that had already been peeled by Zhao Xiaoxiu were neatly placed on a porcelain plate on the table, with a little oxidation on the cut edges.

But it has to be cut, because the B-level mutated part is not edible to ordinary people and will not pass the green light test of the detector.

"Why are they each cut into small pieces?" Mo Shigui's companion looked at the plate of pears on the table with a little disappointment.

But he had to admit that the sweet smell of pear successfully aroused his appetite.

I'm sure the other patrol members in the station would feel the same way.

Zhao Gang smiled apologetically at Mo Shigui and lied seriously:
"The quality of the cut part is not very good. As you know, this kind of fruit will be eaten by mutant birds or other mutant species once it matures. The quality of our pears is already very good." Zhao Xiaoxiu also tried hard to promote her own pears. She generously picked up one and handed it to Mo Shigui's companion, "Big brother, try it. It's very sweet."

It is hard for normal people to dislike a cute child who smiles at you in a friendly manner.

"Webmaster?" His companion looked at Mo Shigui expectantly.

Seeing him nod, she immediately took out the advanced detector she was carrying and inserted it into the golden autumn pear for testing.

The indicator light lights up green, and the element content in the pulp is displayed on the small screen of the detector.

The virus content is only 0.09%.

As long as it is less than 0.1%, even people who have never taken anti-virus medicine can consume it.

If you are an evolved human, you can accept food with a virus content below 1%.

The virus content in golden autumn pears is already so low that it can be ignored.

This result far exceeded the expectations of Mo Shigui and his companions.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't know that her casual knife had cut off more than just the yellow light spot.

Instead, it's more like purification.

Some things, when presented from a normal person's perspective and when presented from the perspective of a father and daughter, are two completely different concepts.

The yellow light spots that Zhao Xiaoxiu cut off easily would require the help of high-precision machines for ordinary humans to accomplish.

Fresh fruits are considered rare even in the base troops.

Zhao Xiaoxiu generously gave one away, and Mo Shigui and his companion shamelessly accepted them separately.

However, they did not take advantage of the children. They gave 19 Hope Base points for the 60 golden autumn pears left on the plate at 1140 points each.

The companions put all the pears into the plastic bags prepared in advance, and brought down a basket of seasonings from the car for the father and daughter to choose from.

Zhao Gang took a bottle of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, a bag of white sugar and a bottle of cumin.

These things were worthless before the disaster, but now the species have mutated and the new formula is firmly controlled by the factories under the biological companies.

The price soared and it became a luxury that only the strong could enjoy.

However, what Mo Shigui brought were all high-quality goods, which was quite conscientious.

A 2L barrel of vegetable oil costs 500 points, and a 500ml bottle of soy sauce and a ml bottle of vinegar costs points.

A 500-gram bag of salt is 500 points, a 50-gram bag of white sugar is points, and a -gram bottle of cumin is points.

Just these six kinds of seasonings cost 650 points.

It's expensive, but it doesn't matter. Zhao Xiaoxiu said, we have money in our pockets now.

After deducting the points from buying seasonings from the points earned from selling pears, there will still be 490 points left!

The transaction was completed, and Mo Shigui and the other man turned around and left.

Although the two men looked calm, Zhao Xiaoxiu could still see their impatience from the way they started the patrol car.

That night, there were lightning, thunder, wind and rain outside.

In the bright self-built house, the delicious smell of barbecue and cumin hits people's taste buds.

Zhao Gang’s cooking skills were at their best. The roasted mutant sparrows were crispy and fragrant, and Zhao Xiaoxiu’s mouth was full of oil as she ate them.

Inside the patrol station, the patrolling soldiers shared the golden autumn pears that Mo Shigui and his companions had brought back.

Suddenly I feel that there are still many beautiful things in the end times.

And secretly looking forward to the next transaction with Lord No. 13.

The National Day holiday has officially begun! I wish you all a happy and joyful time.
