Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Few Tea Leaves

When Qin Lan brought people back, Uncle Ding was already waiting at the door of the private vault.

Seeing that Qin Lan and the others were back with vegetables, they nodded to Qin Lan and said, "Xiao Qin, it's hard work." Nothing happened on the way, right? ”

"Thank you captain for your concern, there were no problems along the way, this is four hundred catties of vegetables exchanged from Ah Xinna, two hundred catties are cabbage, two hundred catties are lettuce, and the rest will be given to us after the harvest next month." Qin Lan saluted Uncle Ding, and then reported to him the situation of this exchange.

Uncle Ding looked at these vegetables that had been exchanged, nodded with satisfaction, and after signaling them to be put in the private vault, he said to Qin Lan: "Xiao Qin, you come with me, I have something to ask you." ”

Qin Lan nodded, didn't ask more, just followed Uncle Ding through the corridor to the conference room.

The conference room is now the SWAT team's office, with a large table in the middle of it with a map of the city, and all the major shelters are prominently listed, with a lot of data and patrol routes on it.

There were several large filing cabinets around, and even two weapon cabinets, one of which was open enough to see the guns inside, and next to the gun cabinet was a large indoor planter box with some green plants growing inside.

Because of his daughter's relationship with Mo Qingyan, although Uncle Ding is the captain of the SWAT team, it stands to reason that he can divide a room, but he didn't ask for it, but directly set up a marching bed in the conference room, and then pulled up the curtain to make a small partition, which was regarded as his own private space.

Uncle Ding took out two teacups from the cabinet on the side, and took a long time from the small space separated behind the curtain on the side before taking out a small tea can, and after opening it, he twisted a few tea leaves from it and put them into the cup.

It seemed that a few pieces of tea were a little too stingy, so I was quite distressed and twisted out a few more pieces of tea leaves and put them in one of the cups, and then closed the lid.

"Xiao Ning, is she okay?" As if asking casually, Uncle Ding added boiling water to the cup and pushed a cup with more tea leaves in front of Qin Lan.

"Ding Ning, she is very good, Qingyan and they have no shortage of materials there, and the situation is better than ours, but Ding Ning is still a little emotional for the captain and you let her magnify the fake things." Picking up the teacup and looking at the few dozen or so tea leaves in the teacup, Qin Lan reported his daughter's situation to Uncle Ding.

Hearing Qin Lan say that Ding Ning's condition was fine, Uncle Ding breathed a sigh of relief, but he still maintained a serious expression on his face.

"Xiao Qin, what do you think of Xiao Chen?" Uncle Ding changed the topic and talked about the transaction with Chen Xin: "Exchanging materials for vegetables from him is indeed a business worth doing, but is it reliable on his side?" ”

As if he was afraid that Qin Lan didn't understand what he meant, Uncle Ding added, "I mean, can the output of vegetables over there be guaranteed?" If there are only a few hundred catties of vegetables every month, and the supply is not guaranteed, then this matter is not so ......"

"On this point, I think the vegetable yield of Ah Xin can still be guaranteed, he has a planting greenhouse, and now he plans to expand it to engage in hydroponic planting, and the output should be improved." Qin Lan told the truth, neither did he say good things for him because of his past relationship with Chen Xin, but he also did not deliberately hide anything: "I think this transaction can be done, but the output of vegetables on Ah Xin's side is stable, but there is no stable output on our side that can be exchanged." ”

"It's really a problem." Uncle Ding's brows furrowed, and he took a sip of tea and thought, "Xiao Chen, does he smoke?" ”

Cigarettes were a very common consumer product before the disaster, and good cigarettes were not only expensive, but also a very common gift in the Yanguo people's exchanges.

After the disaster struck, this kind of thing that is not necessary for survival is naturally impossible to reserve as supplies, but the SWAT team can still get a little from the materials allocated by the city government every month, Uncle Ding thinks that if Chen Xin smokes, this is quite a good transaction.

You must know that in the black market that has formed in the shelter today, there are many things that can be exchanged for a pack of cigarettes.

However, Qin Lan shook his head and said, "Ah Xin, he doesn't smoke much, although he drinks, he doesn't drink much, and he can change it from Qingyan." ”

Hearing Qin Lan say this, Uncle Ding couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but as an old smoker, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky, if he smoked for decades, if he quit all of a sudden, it would be very uncomfortable.

"Then Xiao Qin, what do you think we should do to maintain this deal with Xiao Chen? In the current situation, Xiao Qin, you also know that if you can produce such a few hundred catties of vegetables every month, it will be very helpful to the SWAT team. Uncle Ding asked Qin Lan about her opinions and opinions.

Uncle Ding can't afford not to pay attention to this matter, although the food in the shelter can still be guaranteed, but there is still a lack of everything, and being able to have hundreds of catties of vegetables every month, whether it is to eat or exchange them for other materials, can greatly improve the living conditions of the SWAT team.

Qin Lan couldn't think of any good ideas for a while, but after thinking about it, she still said, "Maybe we can exchange daily necessities with him?" He is just a person, and it is still inconvenient to get toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels and soap, so we can consider exchanging these daily necessities. ”

Hearing Qin Lan say this, Uncle Ding also nodded in agreement, but he didn't make a final decision, he just said to Qin Lan: "I know about this matter, Xiao Qin, you go and get busy first, and I'll discuss it with the political commissar when I go back." ”

Qin Lan didn't say anything, just saluted and left the conference room.

Qin Lan, who left the conference room, walked to her residence, planning to take a good rest, she was also a little tired after a busy day today.

"Sister Qin!" Just as Qin Lan was walking towards her residence, a little girl who looked to be only four or five years old suddenly appeared and greeted her happily.

"Hui Hui! Why are you here? What about your mother? Qin Lan looked at the little girl with a little surprise, squatted down and said this to the little girl.

This is a little girl who lives next door to Qin Lan, named Huihui, her father is also a member of the SWAT team, and her mother is a civilian in other departments of the city bureau.

However, Huihui's father is not in the police shelter now, but in the pedestrian shelter as a necessary deterrent to maintain order in the shelter there.

"Mommy went to work, and I'm feeding the breadworms." Huihui said proudly to Qin Lan with a little proud expression.

The bread worm that Huihui said is a kind of bug that is assigned to each family in the shelter to breed, it is a high-protein bug, and it is easy to raise, a dry breeding box, a little food scrap can be raised, even a child of Huihui's age can do this kind of work.

It's just that such a young child needs to do these things, which still makes Qin Lan feel distressed.
