Chapter 25: It's time to earn some money
Gu Xi found that after Wei Heng sent out the pot of sweet potatoes in the evening, he always looked at her with strange eyes when he came back.
What's going on? Gu Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
When Wei Heng looked at it strangely again, she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and looked up: "What do you want to say?" ”
Wei Heng originally didn't want to say it.
But when I saw her take the initiative to ask, I couldn't help it, and muttered in a low voice: "Gu Xiaoxi, don't be deceived by Shen Yue's good-looking stinky skin, I think he is just uneasy and kind, and took the initiative to approach you, maybe it's for those sweet potatoes of yours......"
Gu Xi: "......" doesn't seem to be what you said.
Wei Heng: "......" Well, these days, who doesn't want to eat a good bite?
Of course, Gu Xi knew that Shen Yue was deliberately approaching her - in the past, when she was still a bloody Shura, there were too many men in the major bases who wanted to deliberately approach her.
Whether they were unintentional or coincidental, they always showed up where she could see.
No matter how dull Gu Xi is, he will always perceive one or two when he encounters it many times.
Like Shen Yue, she has not encountered it before.
And the news that he revealed to her seemingly inadvertently today...... That's not the inside scoop that the average security guard can know.
However, Shen Yue seemed to be casual, but Gu Xi saw integrity, fearlessness and courage from him.
Let's take a look.
Shen Yue's matter is not in a hurry, but there is another matter that needs to be discussed with Wei Heng......
Gu Xi will have an engineering team coming over, and told Wei Heng about it.
- Since you have decided to live here in the future, it is not suitable to live in a container house all the time.
And in the past, she was always out on assignments, wandering around, and had no fixed place to live, so in fact, deep down, Gu Xi longed for a home of her own.
A home where she can sit down and watch the flowers fall in front of the court, and wait for the clouds to roll up.
Of course, Wei Heng had no opinion.
As for the repair of the house, the two quickly reached a unity.
Now there's only one thing left - and that's the money to repair the house!
Gu Xi looked at the wasteland outside, and said in his heart: It's time to earn some money.
Although both professors suggested yesterday that they wait, it would be better to allow this land to recuperate for another ten days and a half.
But in order to have his own small house as soon as possible, Gu Xi decided not to wait.
This time, she won't plant sweet potatoes anymore, and is ready to plant a hundred acres of big watermelons!
No way, who told her to be short of money now?
When the Qin sisters found out, they also said that they wanted to help, and even Shen Yue followed lazily.
Wei Heng was originally a little guarded against this person, but Shen Yue only said one sentence-
"I'm a wind-type ability."
Wei Heng stopped talking. Wind powerhouses, the pollination speed is much faster than that of bees and butterflies.
Seeing that a few young people wanted to plant watermelons, Professor Zhao and Professor Zhang also followed with great interest, first, to take care of the upland rice plants that had not yet fully matured.
Moreover, the two professors were also very curious about Gu Xi's cultivation methods.
Gu Xi didn't disappoint them either, after Wei Heng and Qin Shi turned the ground out together, with the help of Qin Yi and Shen Yue, in less than half an hour, the ground was covered with green-skinned watermelons.
Although the two professors had seen the planting process of many wood-based abilities, it was the first time they had seen such a simple and crude person as Gu Xi.
The two of them were amazed again and again.
At the end, the two professors also asked Gu Xi for some watermelons and watermelon vines for research samples.
Gu Xi naturally wouldn't disagree.
This time she planted watermelons, she still used the method of wrapping X energy with ability, but before that, she had plundered some of the X energy in the seed in advance.
This is different from yesterday's planting of those mutated upland rice, which directly plundered and completely purified the seeds, and I hope that these differences can be helpful to the professors' research......
Of course, the watermelon grown in this way will have a lower coefficient of variation, a better taste, and a higher price.
A hundred acres of large watermelons covered the fields, and several large trucks obviously couldn't finish it.
Gu Xi thought about it and decided to go back to the camp with Wei Heng to see the situation first.
In the afternoon, after arriving at the camp, Gu Xi found that in just a few days, the camp had changed greatly.
Not only has the area expanded a lot, there are also a lot more buildings, but more importantly, there are a lot more fresh faces in the camp, and it is a lot more lively.
There are already the rudiments of small towns.
Wei Heng was familiar with the way and drove the big truck directly to the official acquisition station.
Watermelons were originally rare, and the coefficient of variation of this batch of watermelons sent by Gu Xi and them was still so low, and after sampling and testing, the purchasers immediately gave a price that Gu Xi couldn't refuse.
I also offered to pick up the goods at my door!
Gu Xi was very satisfied, and even the freight was saved.
After getting the money to sell watermelons, the two directly found the construction engineering team of the logistics department......
An hour later, when he came out of the construction team, Wei Heng saw that it was still early, so he proposed to go to the newly built commercial street on the east side of the camp.
Gu Xi looked down at the balance on his account and happily agreed.
The shopping street is very lively and crowded at this time, but there are not many shops open.
The two of them picked and bought a few things, and were about to go to the only supermarket in the camp, but Gu Xi suddenly paused in his footsteps, and then turned around and went to a grocery store next to him.
It's not a big shop, but the variety of things is very varied.
Gu Xi picked out a dictionary printed before the end of the world and an old radio, with a total price of 38,000.
Seeing that she was about to pay without blinking, Wei Heng couldn't help but whisper and reminded, "It's a bit expensive." "And this kind of shop can generally negotiate prices.
Now, before Gu Xi could say anything, the shopkeeper stopped doing it first: "Young man, these things of mine are all antiques!" "Antiques, isn't that expensive?
Wei Heng said in his heart, what kind of antique are you? Even if it's a real antique, who will buy it except for the big one......
When I looked up, I saw Gu. Suckers. Xi had already paid for the money and stuffed it into his hand.
Wei Heng subconsciously hugged the thirty-eight in his arms, and a touch of pain flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Gu Xi with a faint gaze, and stopped talking-Gu Xiaoxi, we have just been lifted out of poverty and struggling to live on the food and clothing line, is it really okay to spend money like this?
Gu Xi glanced at him: "Isn't there still tens of thousands of dollars left from the money from selling watermelons just now?" Let's go, didn't you say you still have to go to the supermarket? ”
Wei Heng: There are tens of thousands left, but according to your lavish spending method, it won't be spent.
Wei Heng sighed.
After waiting for an hour, when the two of them came out of the supermarket, and the account balance was only three digits, Wei Heng secretly swore that he would bring Gu Xi to the camp as little as possible in the future.
This girl's shopping style is similar to her farming - the same simple and crude, the kind that doesn't look at the price when buying things.
……
Here, after Gu Xi and Wei Heng left, Shen Yue and Qin Shi glanced at each other, leaving Qin Yi here to take care of the two old professors, and then turned around and went to the small hill behind.
Half an hour later, Qin Shi pointed to a place in front of him and said, "This is it." ”
The place she pointed to was the place where Gu Xi was guarding that night and finally fought with the vicious alien plant that night.
Shen Yue clicked on his personal terminal, compared a few photos from the base, and after confirming that this place was correct, he took a few steps forward.
Qin Yi followed behind him and said in a low voice, "After I received the news that day, I rushed to check it as soon as possible...... At that time, I didn't see any malignant plants, but all the plants in the vicinity had withered, and there were still obvious signs of battle......"
But now several days have passed, and the withered alien plants have long since turned into the sustenance of the earth, and even the hill they once occupied has now been taken over by new plants.
The two walked in the knee-high weeds.
Suddenly, Shen Yue's footsteps paused slightly, and his eyes narrowed slightly......
