When Qin Lan brought people back, Uncle Ding was already waiting at the door of the private treasury.
Seeing Qin Lan and the others coming back with vegetables, he nodded to Qin Lan and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Qin. Did nothing happen on the way?"
"Thank you, captain, for your concern. There were no problems along the way. These are four hundred kilograms of vegetables exchanged from Asina. Two hundred kilograms are cabbage and two hundred kilograms are lettuce. He will give the rest after the harvest next month. Us." Qin Lan saluted Uncle Ding before reporting to him on the exchange.
Uncle Ding looked at the vegetables that had been exchanged, nodded with satisfaction, motioned to put them in the private storage, and then said to Qin Lan: "Xiao Qin, come with me, I have something to ask you."
Qin Lan nodded, didn't ask any questions, and just followed Uncle Ding through the corridor to the conference room.
The conference room has now become the office of the SWAT team. There is a large table in the middle with a current map of the city on it. The major shelters are clearly listed, and a lot of data and patrol routes are also marked on it.
There are several huge filing cabinets and even two weapon cabinets placed around it. One of them is open and you can see the guns inside. Next to the gun cabinet is a huge indoor planting box, which is There are some green plants growing.
Because of his daughter's relationship with Mo Qingyan, although Uncle Ding was the captain of the SWAT team and could be assigned a room, he did not ask for it. Instead, he directly set up a camp bed in the conference room and pulled it up. The curtain made a small partition, and it became my own private space.
Uncle Ding took out two tea cups from the cabinet on the side, and then dug for a long time from the small space behind the curtain on the side before taking out a small tea can. After opening it, he twisted a few pieces of particularly rare tea leaves. Put it in the cup.
He seemed to feel that a few tea leaves were a bit too stingy, so he sadly twisted out a few more tea leaves and put them into one of the cups, then closed the lid.
"Is Xiaoning okay?" As if asking casually, Uncle Ding added boiling water to the cup and pushed the cup with more tea leaves in front of Qin Lan.
"Ding Ning is doing well. Qing Yan and the others have no shortage of supplies, and the situation is better than ours. But Ding Ning is still a little upset about the fact that Captain you gave her a holiday." He picked up the tea cup and looked at it. With the few dozen tea leaves in the room, Qin Lan reported his daughter's situation to Uncle Ding.
Hearing Qin Lan say that Ding Ning's condition was okay, Uncle Ding let out a sigh of relief, but 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 supplies for vegetables from him is indeed a business worth doing, but his Is it reliable?"
As if he was afraid that Qin Lan would not understand what he meant, Uncle Ding added: "I mean, can the vegetable output over there be guaranteed? If there are only a few hundred kilograms of vegetables every month and the supply cannot be guaranteed, then what about this? Not so…”
"On this point, I think the vegetable output at Axin's side can still be guaranteed. He has a greenhouse, and now he plans to expand it for hydroponic cultivation. The output should be improved." Qin Lan told the truth, neither because of herself nor Chen Xin's past relationship spoke favorably for him, but he did not deliberately hide anything: "I think this deal can continue, but the vegetable output on Axin's side is stable, but there is no stable output on our side. Exchange it."
"This is indeed a problem." Uncle Ding frowned, took a sip of tea and thought: "Xiao Chen, does he smoke?"
Cigarettes were a very common consumer product before the disaster. Not only were good cigarettes expensive, they were also a common gift in the Yan Kingdom's interpersonal relationships.
After a disaster strikes, things that are not necessary for survival cannot be stored as supplies. However, the SWAT team can still get a little from the supplies allocated by the city every month. Uncle Ding thought that if Chen Xin If you smoke, this is a pretty good trade item.
You must know that in the black market that has been formed in the shelter, a pack of cigarettes can be exchanged for a lot of things.
However, Qin Lan shook her head and said, "Axin doesn't smoke much. Although he drinks, he doesn't drink much. And he can change it from Qing Yan."
Hearing what Qin Lan said, Uncle Ding couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but as an old smoker, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. He had been smoking for decades, but it would be very uncomfortable if he quit all of a sudden.
"Then Xiao Qin, what do you think we should do to maintain this deal with Xiao Chen? With the current situation, Xiao Qin, you also know that if we can produce so many hundreds more kilograms of vegetables every month, it will be very useful to the SWAT team. Help." Uncle Ding asked Qin Lan for her opinions.
It’s no wonder that Uncle Ding doesn’t pay attention to this matter. Although food can be guaranteed in the shelter, he still lacks everything. Being able to have hundreds of kilograms of vegetables every month, whether it is eaten or exchanged for other supplies, is a huge benefit. To 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. It is still inconvenient to get toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, soap and other things. We You can consider using these daily necessities in exchange.”
Hearing what Qin Lan said, Uncle Ding nodded in agreement, but he did not make a final decision. He just said to Qin Lan: "I know about this. Xiao Qin, you go ahead and do your work. I will discuss it with the political commissar later. "
Qin Lan didn't say anything more, just saluted and left the conference room.
Qin Lan left the conference room and walked to her residence, intending to take a good rest. She was a little tired after a busy day today.
"Sister Qin!" Just as Qin Lan was walking to 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? Where is your mother?" Qin Lan looked at the little girl with some surprise, squatted down and said this to the little girl.
This is the little girl who lives next door to Qin Lan. Her name is Huihui. Her father is also a member of the SWAT team, and her mother is a civilian employee in other departments of the city bureau. When the apartment was allocated, their family lived with Huihui's father. Over to the SWAT team.
However, Huihui's father is not in the police station shelter now, but is stationed in the pedestrian street shelter as a necessary force deterrent to maintain order in the shelter there.
"Mom went to work, and I was feeding the mealworms." Huihui said proudly to Qin Lan with a proud expression.
The mealworms Huihui mentioned are a kind of bugs that are allocated to each household in the shelter. They are high-protein bugs and are easy to raise. You can raise them in a dry breeding box with a little food scraps, even if they are A child as old as Huihui can complete this kind of work.
Just because such a young child had to do these things, Qin Lan couldn't help but feel distressed. (End of chapter)
