Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 220 Abnormal Rice Price
The woman named Liu Lan laughed and said, "What's the origin? Could it be that she owes me money? No, if that's the case, it's impossible for me not to remember."

The corner of Mo Li's mouth twitched, this miser can think of money for everything.

"Do you still remember that set of fantasies?" Mo Li asked.

Liu Lan nodded: "Of course I remember, that is the most proud work I have created with all my heart. Didn't I ask you to sell it?"

"Hehe, that's right, Lin Rantong is now the owner of Mimeng." Mo Li laughed.

"What a coincidence?" Liu Lan's eyes sparkled, and she seemed to have a lot of affection for Lin Rantong. After all, it feels good that her proud work is appreciated and cherished by others.

Mo Li smiled and said: "Yes, it's such a coincidence, I knew it when I saw her make a move the other day."

"Ah, then Rantong must have known that we are related to the person who shot Mimeng." Chu Zhuzhu said suddenly.

"What?" Mo Li asked.

Chu Zhuzhu rested her chin and said, "You forgot the special request when we sold Mimeng. That grape vine is still on the roof of our house, and now it is probably connected with the one next door."

Liu Lan burst out laughing: "Oh, there is a person who thinks that only she knows this secret, and others don't know, but they don't know that they already know it, and they are watching when she knows it!"

"Liu Lan, what tongue twister are you talking about?" Chu Zhuzhu blinked in confusion.

Mo Li said angrily, "Liu Lan, have you brought today's meal expenses?"

"You, you still want to collect money?" Liu Lan said angrily.

"That's right, food is so expensive now!" Mo Li said as a matter of course.

"Fuck you! If you want money, you can figure it out." Liu Lan said.

Chu Zhuzhu raised her head and said, "By the way, when it comes to food, I'm going to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Mo Li and Liu Lan asked together.

"Let me tell you, the prices of rice and flour at the base have been getting higher and higher recently," Chu Zhuzhu said.

"Really?" Mo Li asked, she had only been back for two days after taking part in the mission, and these things were still unclear.

Liu Lan also opened her eyes wide and said, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Mo Li said angrily: "You've always been a freelancer, it's only strange if you know."

"Don't make noise, listen to me. In the past, a catty of rice and a catty of flour in the base required two first-order crystal nuclei. Later, for some reason, it became more and more expensive. Now it is ten first-order crystal nuclei. I can't even buy the nuclear core." Chu Zhuzhu said worryingly, counting with her fingers.

Mo Li was taken aback: "Why has it risen so much, does the base not care?"

"It's not like it used to be now, who cares, no, after I go back, I'll hurry up and buy some, maybe it can go up again." Liu Lan said.

"I feel something is wrong. Is there something wrong with the grain storage in the base?" Chu Zhuzhu asked worriedly.

Mo Li pondered: "It's very possible, but I just came back, so I don't know much about it. Besides flour and rice, how about sweet potatoes and potatoes?"

"Those prices haven't changed," Chu Zhuzhu said.

"This mission should be able to get a lot of rewards, Zhuzhu, take out more crystal nuclei, and try to buy some rice flour. I haven't heard that rice and wheat can be grown now. I must eat a little and eat less." It's one o'clock, and their prices suddenly rise, either because the stocks are running out, or those above are staying and preparing to enjoy it for themselves, and they are not sold to ordinary people." Mo Li said.

"Then, let me go and talk to Rantong and the others. They just came back. I guess they don't know about it. Tang Tang has never seen her go shopping before." Chu Zhuzhu said.

"Well, I want to say something." Mo Li said.

Chu Zhuzhu immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll go now." Saying that, she ran out directly.

Before Mo Li had time to shout, she said helplessly to Liu Lan: "This silly girl, she is in a hurry because she is eating now."

Liu Lan smiled and said, "It seems that you have a good relationship with them."

Mo Li nodded: "Lin Rantong was my captain during this mission, she is indeed very good, I admire her."

"Hey, it's rare to hear you say that you admire someone. I'm really interested in meeting this Lin Rantong." Liu Lan said.

Mo Li gave her a blank look and said nothing.

Liu Lan said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm fine recently, why don't you stay here for a while, and get acquainted with their Ivy League members by the way, and develop some customers."

Mo Li curled her lips and said: "I think you are watching the price of rice rise, and you want to rely on me to eat and drink for free?"

"Uh, as long as you understand this in your heart, you have to say it." Liu Lan said without blushing.

Chu Zhuzhu ran to Lin Rantong's door, and when she lowered her head, she realized that she had forgotten to put on her shoes.

She stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself that she often didn't wear shoes at home, and she forgot in a hurry, forget it, I'm too lazy to go back, so let it be.

With that in mind, she knocked lightly on the door.

The door opened with a creak, revealing Liu Yu's petite melon-seeded face.

Seeing that it was Chu Zhuzhu, Liu Yu couldn't help being taken aback. Didn't Tang Tang just say that they couldn't come because they had guests?

Even though he thought so, Liu Yu immediately turned away with a smile and said, "It's Zhuzhu, come in quickly, we haven't eaten yet, we just happen to have dinner together."

Chu Zhuzhu sniffed, it was really delicious. I don’t know what delicious food they prepared. I like food the most. When I heard Liu Yu’s concession, she shook her head regretfully and said, “I won’t go in. Let me tell you something, I’m afraid you won’t be able to prepare in time if you don’t notice.”

Chu Zhuzhu said the matter again, then waved her hand and went back.

Liu Yu closed the door and walked to the dinner table.

"Who is it, Xiaoyu?" Lin Rantong asked while distributing the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, it's Zhuzhu." Liu Yu said.

"Hey, she's here at this time, but what's the matter?" Lin Rantong asked wonderingly.

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, she said that the prices of flour and rice at the base have increased several times recently!"

"What else?" Everyone asked and looked at Tang Tang.

Tang Tang said embarrassingly: "What do you see me doing? During the time when you were away, I was at home every day, either practicing or taking An Ran, so how dare I go out when I have nothing to do, anyway, there is no shortage of food or anything at home, just in case I go out I am not afraid of causing trouble again, but what should I do? I didn’t expect to be sitting at home, and trouble would come to my door. It seems that my wife is too low-key.”

As Tang Tang talked, he thought of Lin Chuyang's provocation, and thought in his heart that he would want you to look good again.

Ever since she found that there were no obstacles in her cultivation, that high-spirited self-confidence has returned, and even after those trials, her mind has become much stronger.

"Apart from flour and rice, have the prices of other foods changed?" Ma Zhi asked.

"Zhuzhu said no, but the price of flour and rice went up all of a sudden, and it's not easy to buy even at the current price." Liu Yu said.

"Rantong, how much rice and flour do you have in your space?" Xia Yongjia asked.

This Lin Rantong didn't even need to go to the space to look, so he said directly: "Not much, except that I collected some on the way home at the beginning of the end of the world, and got some from a few missions. This is nearly a year of consumption, plus this The mission took so long, now there are only five bags of flour left, and less than ten bags of rice.”

"Ah, that's all it takes?" Xia Yongjia said disappointedly.

Ma Xiaoyan said speechlessly: "Sister Lin can't conjure up out of thin air, so many people eat, there will always be time to finish eating."

Tang Tang involuntarily glanced at Lin Rantong.

"Well, let's eat first. What should everyone do after eating? I'll organize the space and see how many supplies are left. Anyway, we have plenty of crystal nuclei now. The increase in flour and rice this time The price can be regarded as a reminder to us that some necessary materials should be stored as much as possible. After all, crystal nuclei can be earned, and some materials can be consumed a little less." Lin Rantong said slowly.

Everyone nodded, and after eating a meal happily, they went to practice separately.

"Rantong." Tang Tang quietly pulled Lin Rantong's clothes.

Lin Rantong stroked the little face of his son who was practicing, then turned around and walked out with Tang Tang.

"What's the matter, Tang Tang?" Lin Rantong asked against the railing.

"Rantong, isn't your space capable?" Tang Tang didn't say the following.

Lin Rantong naturally knew what she was going to say, and said helplessly, "It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. I've never had wheat and rice. There are ready-made rice and flour in the space. How can I plant them?"

Tang Tang patted his forehead and said: "Oh, I forgot about it, so it seems that we still have to spend money to buy it."

Lin Rantong sighed: "Yeah, it seems that this is the only way to go now. I don't know if there is a chance to get wheat and rice in the future, so it depends on the opportunity. Tang Tang, you are just asking me this?"

"Well, apart from this, I'm quite worried that you will meet with Chief Ye tomorrow. Who knows what will happen to those people. I found that their kind of people are full of bad water, and it will be troublesome if they get involved. It's terrible, every time I meet it, it's not a good thing." Tang Tang said.

Lin Rantong smiled: "The soldiers came to block the water and come to Tutun. I am no longer a soft persimmon that can be flattened and rounded. What they want to do, they have to weigh it carefully. Then Tang Tang, let me go back and check things first." , it seems that buying food needs to be done as soon as possible.”

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

After saying goodbye, the two went back to their houses.

Lin Rantong lay on the big soft bed, looked at his son who was fooled into practicing seriously, smiled softly, and then entered the space.

This is the first time Lin Rantong has entered the space without haste since this period of time, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She looked at everything in her space, and a sense of solidity emerged spontaneously.

Some time ago, not to mention that the whole person was walking in the space so unhurriedly, but there was not much opportunity for thoughts to come in. In this comparison, although life is a bit more troublesome now, compared with the past, I was always on tenterhooks, and I was close to death at any time. Distance contact is much stronger.

It didn't take long for Lin Rantong to feel emotional, and the three guys surrounded him.

"Lin Rantong, what are you doing here so late?" the little monkey chirped and asked.

Lin Rantong couldn't help but feel hurt, this, isn't this his own space, what do you mean by coming in by yourself?
