Chapter 122

The next day, after breakfast, Cheng Yongzhi took a few people to settle the escort payment, gave Yu Nan and others a holiday, and allowed them to move freely within the scope permitted by the base.Zhan Xuyang was temporarily transferred and called away together, Yu Nan could only take Jiajia out by herself.

"Let's go first, call if you have anything to do." Yu Nan stood at the door with Jia Jia and Tangyuan, and said to Zheng Jianling and Fang Yan who were in the room.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road." Zheng Jianling, who was folding clothes, turned to look at her and waved.

Yu Nan nodded, and said to Fang Yan: "I will help you pay attention to those who sell portable oxygen cylinders. If there are any, I will bring them back for you when I come back." Yesterday was fine, but Fang Yan felt dizzy after sleeping , General fatigue and other altitude sickness, I lay back on the bed after eating.

"Thank you, Yu Nan." Fang Yan said leaning on the bed.

Yu Nan smiled, nodded, turned and went out, and closed the door.

"Let's go." She bowed her head and said to Jiajia, and handed the end of the traction chain tied around Tangyuan's neck to her.Yu Nan leaned over and rubbed the glutinous rice balls, "I have wronged you." I heard it from the front desk: pets are not prohibited in the base, but they must be tied with a special grass chain when they want to take them out. just work.This kind of chain looks inconspicuous, but it can suppress the madness of animals, which greatly reduces the possibility of pets hurting people in the base.

"Woof!" Tangyuan shook her hair and stuck out her tongue to lick her fingers.

After going out, Yu Nan strolled along the street.Although I don't know what the situation was like before the end of the world, but judging from what I have encountered, the people living inside the walls are living in peace.There is not much distress in their brows, and most of them are thin. So far, we have not seen any examples of skinny bones.

The wall of the base was built completely according to the mountain situation, enclosing the pre-apocalyptic towns, walking around, and returning to the pre-apocalyptic days in a trance.Suddenly, she saw a place with a "canteen" sign hanging in front of her, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

There are very few pedestrians on the road, and even if you see one or two, they are all in a hurry.Occasionally, patrolling police passed by, with guns and shields, and they were extremely well armed.

"Sister Xiaonan, there is a supermarket over there." Jiajia pointed to the front right and reminded her.

Yu Nan wanted to take a look, but was worried that the supermarket would not allow them to bring glutinous rice balls in.In a blink of an eye, she happened to see a reminder of the sale of oxygen hanging in a grocery store next to her. She patted Jiajia on the shoulder and walked over directly. "Grandma, how do you sell portable oxygen?" Standing at the door, I saw a row of white tinplate canned oxygen placed prominently on the shelf inside.

"Are you new here?" The shop owner is a kind-hearted old lady who speaks fluent Beijing dialect.

"Yes." Yu Nan pursed her lips and smiled, "Did you see it?"

The old lady happily took a can and put it on the counter, "You can adapt to altitude sickness after staying here for a week. I haven't seen you before, so I guess you are new here."

"We just arrived last night." Yu Nan walked into the shop.His eyes scanned the shelves, and then fell on the oxygen tank in front of him, "How do you sell this? We don't have points here."

"You can exchange it with other things." The old lady moved a step away, revealing a small blackboard behind her, on which the exchange ratio of some items and points was written in green chalk. "This one is common in our base. No matter what you buy, you can barter it. The exchange ratio is set by the Price Bureau, and the price is the same wherever you go. I just copied a few commonly used ones here, and there are some others. Yes, you can check the exchange table."

As she said that, she turned around and bent down, and took out a piece of pink tissue paper from the bottom of the shelf, which was covered with densely packed small black characters. "See for yourself, this is the latest price."

【粮食一斤:15积分;鲜药材一斤:10积分;纯净水一升:5积分;盐一斤:1积分;棉衣一件:1积分……】单页上的项目很多,于楠一边看,一边盘算着自己可以拿出哪些东西来换。

"That little girl is with you, right?" The old lady was talking about Jia Jia, who stood outside holding the glutinous rice balls and did not come in.

"Huh? Yes." His train of thought was interrupted, and Yu Nan raised his head to answer. "Grandma, why do you collect salt so cheap here?"

"Q province produces salt, so the price of our salt is naturally cheaper." The old lady patiently explained to her, "Not only salt, but also many medicinal materials, minerals, and oil are cheaper than other places. If you have Conditions, you can buy some to take away when you leave. Let that little girl come in, it’s okay, it’s quite pitiful to stand outside.”

Yu Nan glanced back, and couldn't help but smile, Jiajia really had a wronged expression on her face.She beckoned, "Come in, watch the glutinous rice balls and don't let them bite."

The glutinous rice balls protested, "Wow, woof", sniffed around, and then sat quietly beside her.

"Jiajia, look at what you want, and buy it together later." Yu Nan ordered, then lowered her head and continued to look at the exchange table.After a while, she tapped on [Sugar] with her fingertips, "Grandma, it says that half a catty of sugar can be exchanged for 20 points. What kind of sugar is it? White sugar? Brown sugar? Or something else?"

"White sugar, brown sugar is fine, even rock sugar is fine."

Yu Nan thought for a while, then took off the backpack on her back, "I don't have that much, only about three taels, and the rest can be replaced with candy, do you think it's okay?" She said while taking out a few sealed packets Soft white sugar, and took out about half a catty of hard fruit candy from the side pocket of the bag.

"Okay, why not." The old lady agreed straight away, "I'm not going to hide it from you, the price of this hard candy is much more expensive than that of white sugar, how about separate the two prices? I'll give you 30 half a catty for hard candy. "

"Sure, then you can see how many points these can be exchanged for in total before we go shopping." Yu Nan moved the oxygen tank to a place out of the way, and pushed all the candies in front of the old lady.

The old lady picked up the flower glasses under the counter and put them on, and opened the electronic scale.

The soft white sugar is more than two or three, and the hard candy is almost half a catty. The two sides are even, and the total is 42 points. Speaking of it, Yu Nan took a little advantage.The old lady counted out six point cards and gave her four ten-point cards and two one-point cards.It was something very similar to the food stamps issued in the 70s and [-]s. The face value was printed on the yellow slightly thick paper, and the official financial seal of the Northwest Base was affixed.The old lady told her that if you take these point cards to the service station, you can get a temporary point storage card and store the points in it for easy use.

Excluding the five points for buying oxygen, I also bought a bag of yak jerky for Jiajia, and Yu Nan put away the rest.She just learned that gas stations are available here.

After leaving the grocery store, Yu Nan went back first to deliver an oxygen tank to Fang Yan.Knowing that Zhan Xuyang and the others hadn't come back, they called him and told him about the gasoline. "...Ah? Already know?...Oh, then it's fine. When will you come back?...Well, I'll take Jiajia around and go back at noon...Okay...well, I see."

"Okay, let's go. Where else do you want to go?" Yu Nan hung up the phone and turned to ask Jiajia.

"I don't know either." Jiajia shook her head, "Let's go and see."

Yu Nan smiled slightly, "Okay, then let's take a walk." In order to have a good time shopping, they also left the glutinous rice balls in the guest house.

This time, the preparations were made in advance. The two of them went to the service station to change the points storage card. By the way, they recharged the card with some pepper powder, pepper powder and other seasonings. Only then did they have the confidence to go shopping.

"Sister Xiaonan, let's go to the supermarket." Jiajia took Yu Nan's hand and pointed to the supermarket she saw earlier.

"Okay." Her proposal was exactly what Yu Nan wanted.

There are very few people in the supermarket. When you walk in, the first thing you see is the food area. There are no such dazzling snacks and non-staple foods before the end of the world. The shelves are full of barley noodles, white noodles, and finished and semi-finished noodles. etc.Then there is highland barley wine, some are packaged before the end of the world, and some are sold directly after being put in a bottle and pasted with a sticky note. The drinking capacity of the Tibetans was reduced.

Seeing that there were two and a half small bottles, the price was not very expensive, so Yu Nan took a few bottles and put them in the cart, planning to give them to Cheng Yongzhi and the others when they went back.

There are a lot of goji berries on the shelves. There are common red goji berries and black goji berries with stalks. It is said that the content of anthocyanins is extremely high.The price is not cheap, so Yu Nan hesitated again and again, and took a bottle of 100g as a souvenir of the trip.

Some of them, such as brewing ingredients, cordyceps, rhodiola, fern, etc., were all skipped by them and went directly to the raw food area.There are different kinds of meat in several refrigerators, including yak meat, mutton, and some intestines, liver, lungs and other offal.After asking Jia Jia's opinion, Yu Nan chose the lamb chops, and planned to cook lamb chops for her in the car after returning home.

After watching the food, they went to other areas and got a general understanding of the living conditions in the Northwest Base.Seeing such a wealth of supplies, if it wasn't for the system, even Yu Nan would be jealous.

Because he bought fresh meat and paid the bill, Yu Nan didn't go shopping anymore, so he went back to cook lamb chops.When it's done, it's time for lunch.

Send it back to Jiajia first, just in time to meet Zhan Xuyang coming out of Cheng Yongzhi's room, Yu Nan simply asked him to help him.

"How is it? Is it going well?" After closing the car door and putting down the lamb chops, Yu Nan took off his coat first and threw it on the car seat.

"It's okay." Zhan Xuyang also took off his coat and took off his sleeves to work.

After the ingredients are prepared, the two of them talk while working. "I didn't expect the living conditions here to be so good. Water, electricity, gasoline, gas, etc. are all complete. In addition, they originally built a base on the basis of the original town. It’s not much different from before the end of the world.”

Zhan Xuyang smiled, and cut the lamb chops into strips with a knife. "The land is vast, the resources are abundant, and the population is small. Self-sufficiency can basically be achieved, and the living conditions will naturally be better. Is there anything else that I need to do?"

"Wash your hands and steam the rice." Yu Nan took over the cut lamb chops and put them in the pot.Put cold water into the pot, and turn the temperature of the induction cooker to the maximum.She wiped her hands, sat down on the seat, and untied another bag that was placed next to her just now, "I bought some things in the supermarket, and added a few more, you can take it back and share. I don't know if you drink this wine I'm not used to drinking, anyway, the degree is quite high, if you don't drink, give it to Brother Cheng." She took out the things in the bag one by one, and put them on the seat next to her.

Zhan Xuyang steamed the rice, sat next to her, picked up the wine and looked at it, "Just pick up the cheap ones and give them some, so as not to make people suspicious."

"Highland barley wine is the cheapest, and some packaged ones are more expensive. When I thought about drinking wine and not packaging, I didn't buy that kind." Yu Nan said.

Zhan Xuyang put down his wine and smiled, "I really know how to live."

Yu Nan lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, then sat down again, "It's been so long, and I won't be able to learn how to 'calculate carefully' and I won't be told to death by you and my little uncle."

"It's not all for your own good." He put the wine back into the bag, and stuffed the rest into the locker in the car. "I have time in the afternoon. Brother Cheng asked us to buy salt and exchange it with rice from the team."

"Okay, got it." The water in the pot boiled, and Yu Nan took out a spoon from the cupboard to skim off the froth.
