Yao Ran smiled, "Please, just call me Yao Ran. I do have a way to get food, but the price for cold-resistant potatoes might be lower than other food types."
Hearing this, Wu Lian's eyes lit up. He thought for a moment and asked, "How much food could we get for these antiques?"
Yao Ran glanced at the antiques and replied, "I can give you two hundred bags of new rice and some frozen meats."
A bag of rice weighs twenty kilograms, so two hundred bags would equal four tons. It's not much, but if they cook it into porridge and add some potatoes, it could sustain the soldiers for a few days.
After some thought, he looked at Yao Ran and said, "I want three hundred bags of rice and six hundred kilograms of meat for these antiques."
The black soil allowed Yao Ran to plant any type of seed, so she had managed to stock up on food since the world changed.
She had been growing rice and other grains in her space and could afford to give him that amount. However, she didn't want Wu Lian to think that it was easy for her to get food and meat.
With that in mind, Yao Ran showed some hesitation on her face and said, "I can't promise that I can get that much rice, but I will do my best."
Knowing how scarce food had become, Wu Lian nodded and sincerely said, "Thank you, Miss Yao."
He glanced at the antiques and asked, "Do you need help moving these?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Yes. The liquid fertilizer is already prepared in an abandoned building. We will need to move the antiques there."
"All right. I will have the soldiers transport them." Wu Lian said.
While he went to arrange for the soldiers to move the antiques, Yao Ran and Long Yu returned to the gate to wait for him.
Soon, they saw a military truck approaching, and Wu Lian was sitting in the passenger seat. When the soldier stopped the truck, he got down and said, "Miss Yao, please get in and lead the way."
Yao Ran nodded, and Long Yu helped her into the military truck. After closing the door for her, Long Yu climbed into the back of the truck.
Climbing up to the back of the truck, Wu Lian knocked on the glass that was dividing the driver's seat from the carriage behind.
Hearing the knock, the soldier started the truck and said to Yao Ran, "Miss, please lead the way."
"Alright." She replied.
With Yao Ran navigating the road, they left the community. Sitting in the back, Wu Lian looked at Long Yu and said, "I'm surprised to learn you have a girlfriend."
Long Yu glanced at him and said, "If you are envious, go find a girlfriend. Don't stare at mine."
