The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 32)

After hearing what Sister Man said, Han Shuang realized that this was indeed the case and immediately spoke up.

"Yeah, yeah, Brother Song, if you really think about it, I'm the one who got the better deal from Brother Leopard. Shall we go together?"

Since things had come to this point, Song Ning had no reason to continue refusing. He nodded, a kind smile in his voice.

"Then let's do it together. If we each benefit, we'll even things out."

He didn't really think Han Shuang had gotten a good deal. The other party had already provided supplies and hired an escort team. Having Big Cat accompany them was just icing on the cake.

He himself had never been to that place to make the transaction, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask a few more questions on the way. In truth, he actually gained a slight advantage.

The wind and snow weren't too heavy along the way, and the weather today was noticeably better than usual. The sky wasn't gloomy and gray; instead, it was quite sunny. It seemed like today was being particularly kind to us.

Song Ning said it casually, but Sister Man chuckled beside her.

"Little Song, you don't know this, do you? It's not that today's date is being kind to us, but rather that our base has done research and found that the weather tends to be slightly better on this day after the apocalypse. That's why our base has designated this day as the day for centralized trading. Otherwise, with so many disasters in the apocalypse, how could we dare to do this?"

After she said that, Song Ning realized that it seemed to be true.

He asked, somewhat surprised and hesitant, "Is this...is it okay for us to tell us this?"

It sounds like someone at Sister Man's base painstakingly researched and developed this. Is it really okay to just tell these people outside the base like this?

Sister Man waved her hand; although she was nearly forty, her eyes were still very bright.

"It's nothing. It's not just you guys; anyone who's ever been to our base knows this information. Keeping this kind of news to ourselves won't do us any good. It's better to let everyone who's been to the base know. That's actually better."

What she said was the absolute truth. To put it bluntly, the information that the base researched was used for trading with some major powers and other bases. As for the people around the base...

It would be better to just tell them the news; it would actually help the monthly trade fair. That's the idea from the base.

Song Ning thought about it for a moment and realized what was going on. He nodded to show that he understood, but he was also curious.

Although Sister Man spoke of it casually, the fact that she noticed this aspect at least indicates that there must be someone in her base who is very concerned about the climate and can be considered an expert in this area; otherwise, she wouldn't have discovered this.

The journey to the base wasn't short, and Song Ning gleaned a lot of useful information along the way.

For example, there are indeed several pre-apocalyptic experts at the base, and they did successfully cultivate a large amount of corn at the base several years ago, which not only ensured the food source, but also provided surplus corn cakes to sell.

Sister Man explained, "Our corn tortillas are considered high-quality staple foods. We don't add any pebbles or sand to them, and our corn tortillas are scientifically weighed. Basically, one corn tortilla is enough for an adult to eat for a day."

Song Ning believed what she said; the few cornbreads he got in return for trading with Han Shuang proved it—one a day was just right for him.

Song Ning thought for a moment, then lifted a corner of the tarpaulin on the cart, revealing a bunch of cute honeycomb briquettes inside.

"If I were to use this to exchange for it, what kind of transaction would it be?"

Sister Man had noticed the things in his car a long time ago, but she never expected that there were honeycomb briquettes hidden inside. These are rare items that are almost impossible to find these days. She never expected that this brother named Song Ning would have them.

Several people behind her simultaneously peeked out, looking at her with expressions of fascination and wonder.

"Sister Man, is there something wrong with my eyes? Why do I feel like I'm seeing honeycomb briquettes? Can you still see those things these days?"

"Sister Man, I feel like we have the same problem. I also saw honeycomb briquettes, damn it! Could we actually be poisoned together?"

"But not everyone can be poisoned, I saw it too."

The escort team, which had seemed particularly calm and reliable before, suddenly became a bit comical. The three of them pinched and teased each other, and after they finished, they were all stunned.

"Oh my god, it hurts so much, but I didn't wake up, which means I wasn't asleep. So, we weren't dreaming together?!"

Sister Man was so angry at these shameless people that she laughed. "Look at yourselves! You've never even seen a honeycomb briquette before, have you?"

Actually, she had never met them before, but no matter what, she couldn't lose face. These three guys had already embarrassed her enough; she couldn't let others look down on her like this.

She cleared her throat with a light cough, then said with a serious expression.

"These honeycomb briquettes are a good product. Our base has a unified price list. For energy products like these, honeycomb briquettes are basically exchanged at a ratio of 2 to 1 with cornbread."

Song Ning thought for a moment, and realized that 100 jin of honeycomb briquettes could be exchanged for 50 jin of corn cakes.

It's hard to say who benefits more from this price. You could tell from the expressions on the faces of these team members that honeycomb briquettes are rare, but frankly, food is precious these days.

Moreover, a pound of cornbread is actually eaten, while two pounds of coal won't burn for very long.

As soon as Sister Man saw his expression, she knew there was something going on. She tried hard to suppress her restless heart and spoke in a seemingly indifferent manner.

"The prices offered by our base are generally fair to everyone. If you want to switch, Xiao Song, you and Xiao Han can come with us later, and we'll send you both back together."

She tried to offer some perks to get Song Ning to agree.

However, Song Ning remained calm. He gave a slightly thoughtful look and then smiled apologetically.

"Not for now. I'm not really short of food right now, and I don't have much coal left. I brought these out mainly to try and exchange them for some more needed supplies."

He didn't say anything too definitive, "But if the deal doesn't go smoothly, I'll come back to Sister Man then. I just hope Sister Man won't look down on me then."

Listening to this, Sister Man just felt that this young man knew how to talk; his voice was pleasant and his words were pleasant to hear.

Besides, she would never complain about the coal that was delivered; it was all good stuff, especially in the dead of winter. She almost wanted to keep it all for herself.
