The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (115)
Once outside, Song Ning realized that Lance's preparation of the new down jacket and hat had not been in vain.
Although today is a trading day, the weather is clearly worse than in the past few days.
Even so, after they went outside, they saw quite a few people heading towards the base's trading area.
Among them were many green crops, which were clearly intended to be traded for other goods.
Song Ning and his group also prepared some things, but they planned to exchange them for crops from the greenhouse.
The first batch of crops from the farm were all traded to the base, and because Song Ning was sick, they were all exchanged. Now, there are still suitable crops available for exchange in the greenhouse.
"How about I give you two new outfits in addition to the electric blanket?"
Song Ning tried to suggest that he didn't want to be the only one receiving preferential treatment; he wanted what he had, and Lance should also have it.
"It's not certain. My size is small to begin with, but it's enough for me for now."
Lance didn't completely refuse, but his words clearly indicated that he didn't have much expectation.
Even though Song Ning knew that what Lance said was true, she was still a little annoyed.
Wouldn't that mean he was the only one who got new clothes and a new hat? To be honest, he was quite happy, but precisely because he was so happy to get new clothes and a new hat, he hoped that Lance could be just as happy as he was.
"Let's take a look, just in case."
Song Ning pursed her lips, unwilling to give up, and tugged at Lance's sleeve to coax him.
"Okay, let's take a look."
Since his lover had said so, Lance wasn't completely oblivious, so he readily agreed. Then, when they arrived at the trading location, he led Song Ning straight into the electronics section.
There are many more stalls selling electrical appliances than before.
Song Ning still remembers when they first came here, there were hardly any electrical appliances to be seen. The reason was that the order had collapsed after the apocalypse, and even the simplest power generation was like going back to the pre-liberation era. Even if there were electrical appliances, there was no way to get any electricity to use. It was really heartbreaking to think about.
However, since Dr. Liao Xin's crystal core battery came into being, all kinds of electrical appliances have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
From electric kettles to rice cookers to electric blankets, it seems that almost every household has returned to the era of electrical appliances. The convenience that those appliances brought to people seems to be engraved in their bones, and they have not forgotten it to this day.
"Is this an electric kettle?"
The kettle at the first stall on the left looked very familiar. Before Song Ning could see it clearly, she saw a hand grab the kettle.
"I want to change to this one!"
"Fifteen cakes."
"Too expensive, ten of them."
"Why don't you just rob them? Fourteen and a half."
"Eleven is the most we can have."
"...Thirteen. If you try to bargain any further, don't buy it. This is really the lowest price."
"Twelve of them, I'll take them if you sell them, otherwise I'm leaving."
The man made a move to turn and leave, but as soon as she turned around, a young boy rushed over and grabbed the electric kettle she had just put down.
"I'll replace all thirteen!"
His excited little expression and the way he held up the electric kettle like a victor made the woman who had tried so hard to bargain but had her prize stolen tremble with anger.
When Song Ning looked, he recognized the person as someone he knew.
"Tang, you're here too?"
He swallowed back the name he was about to call out, and simply waved to Tang Wei and the others.
"Brother, you're here too!"
Tang Wei waited for Hei Bai to hand over the pancakes, then, ignoring the woman glaring at him, shoved the electric kettle into Hei Bai's arms and rushed over.
"Hey Song-ge and Lance-ge, what would you like to exchange? I'll give you something as a gift."
He still hasn't given up on this.
Song Ning was a little amused and exasperated, but still waved her hand in refusal.
"We're mainly here today to get some fresh air and sell some things from the greenhouse. We don't necessarily want to buy anything."
Tang Wei said "Oh" and peeked out.
He saw the small cart being dragged behind Lance, thought for a moment, then ran over to Black and White and pulled him along.
"Brother Song, would you like to exchange your electric blankets? We have crystal core mini-suns now, so we don't need them. How about we trade some vegetables with you?"
He looked at him with an air of 'I'm making a deal with you this time, you have to agree, right?' Song Ning really couldn't refuse his hospitality this time, so he could only shake his head and smile helplessly.
"I really can't refuse you, so I'll switch with you."
Tang Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he finally agreed.
He always felt guilty for not repaying favors he owed, even though it was a transaction now, it was still better than not having a transaction at all.
Both sides wanted to compromise, and in the end, the exchange price was based on the market price.
Tang Wei was a little depressed after changing her clothes. She took the vegetables back and threw herself into Hei Bai's arms, saying unhappily, "I actually couldn't win the argument with those two. I'm so useless."
He wanted to give Brother Song and his group a 20% discount, but he only gave them a 9.9% discount, which was a huge failure.
Black and white embraced the person and comforted them.
“They are all good people, it’s okay. I’ll keep a closer eye on things during my patrols from now on. You can also send Brother Song more e-books in the future, he’s quite interested in them.”
What he didn't say was that these two people were not weak-willed people to begin with. Although Brother Song looked somewhat thin and soft, his eyes were incredibly resolute, and he was not someone who was easily persuaded.
Needless to say, Lance's older brother was even more unwavering; every time they made eye contact, Lance could not see the slightest wavering in the other's eyes.
It's as if he's always full of confidence; how could someone like that be easily swayed?
After saying goodbye to Tang Wei and the others, Song Ning took Lance to browse the clothing section.
However, warm clothing is a scarce resource, and after searching around, Song Ning only managed to get Lance a striped hand-knitted scarf.
He tiptoed and put the scarf on Lance with a hint of regret, his tone full of disappointment.
"I didn't expect to not encounter anyone trading in warm clothing today. We'll come back next month, and we'll definitely find you some suitable clothes then."
Lance lowered his head and let him do as he pleased. "We probably won't need it next month. Judging from the weather, it should be warmer next month due to the change of seasons. However, from the current perspective, the change in weather may not be a good thing. It may bring other disasters."
After he finished speaking, both he and Song Ning were stunned. Lance frowned, trying to grasp the feeling—what made him say those words? What was his true identity?
Song Ning, on the contrary, became worried because of the prophecy in his words.
"You mean there might be new disasters after the extreme cold? How significant will the impact be? Will it affect the crops on the farm? How should we prepare?"
