The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse

Chapter 131 - 135

131

The house renovation was very simple, it was not difficult to set up the planters in the hallway along with electricity and plumbing. In contrast, it was time consuming to plant the seedlings. The good news was they were not in a hurry, even if the military canteen needs leafy greens there was no anxiety. As for other teams trying to buy vegetables...they had not found a suitable buyer, no need to hurry.

It seemed someone from the cafeteria had blabbed? The third morning, Luo Xun went to the canteen for delivery they were stopped halfway, of course after the crops were sold.

The other side was very polite, not the same team but the same purpose. Luo Xun and Yan Fei were not polite, they chatted and left their contact details before continuing on.

Thankfully they were no the fortress barracks. Those who could enter had some relation with the military and did not dare mess around.

The pair concluded their sale of non-mutant vegetables to their military. The person was not Captain Li but there were many people in the canteen, selling information was normal. This time when they sold vegetables one soldier secretly passed a note with information from another team.

It would take 20 days until the next harvest of the vegetables planted at home, they would need to set some aside for the barracks. The most stable buyers was definitely the military canteen. Other places to earn extra money with long-term cooperation...little to none hope at the moment.

The weather was getting colder and colder by the day, the north wind blew through the night. All the heating equipment on the two floors was in use. The rooms in 1604 were not warm but he had transformed the heating, naturally it would improve once it was turned on.

On base, the prices of wood, coal, alcohol, gas and other fuels soared. Even the military exchange windows began to slowly increase their prices.

During the autumn harvest, the Otaku squad dried the rice stalks. Although these things were not the best fuel, starting a fire for cooking was not a problem. Luo Xun and company took advantage of the chance to find coal, wood and so on before the weather really turned cold. Since they usually used more electricity to cook, getting through winter would have no problems.

"Up until now, we've been contacted by...seven teams." Luo Xun held a stack of notes in his hand, all of whom were interested in buying food from the team.

It was clear that all the members were entrusting the matter to Luo Xun – after all, who had been responsible for the matter before? Other people messing around might cause trouble for the team instead.

Yan Fei was listening and thought it would be better for Luo Xun to make the choice. After all he might be able to have everyone get a profit from growing vegetables, but he did not know how long the teams would last. Luo Xun knew and understood more than anyone else.

"These two families have the highest bids." Luo Xun picked out two notes, "I have not heard of them before but I heard that they had changed leaders recently. Although we have heard of them, I am afraid neither of these teams will work for the long term..." He sighed and looked at some others, "These prices are too low and look at their attitude...sending a younger brother to talk, no upsides so we'll pass. And finally these ones..."

Luo Xun finally found two that might develop long-term relations. He turned to discuss with Yan Fei, "What do you think? Who should we pick?"

Yan Fei picked up the notes and looked at the names before smiling at Luo Xun. "Contact both, even if they want food it might not be too much. We sell at most half and the rest goes to the barracks."

"Right! Sounds good!" Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The batch of leafy greens in the hallway would mature in two days.

They could roughly estimate the weight even before harvesting. If one team did not buy all, they would pass the rest along so they always had customers.
