"Anything else?"
When Jing Mo asked this, the salesperson was somewhat puzzled, "What else would you like?"
"I've calculated it, never mind, let's check out!"
The salesperson, still a bit dazed, processed Jing Mo's contribution points and watched as Jing Mo and Su Nian gradually walked away before turning her gaze back.
It wasn't until they got back to the car that Su Nian asked Jing Mo, "What did you want just now? Why didn't you say anything?"
Jing Mo smiled and shook his head, "What we just bought is eye-catching enough, it's not appropriate to buy anything else in front of them."
Su Nian instantly understood Jing Mo's meaning.
Not suitable to buy other things in front of them, does that mean it's okay behind their backs?
While Su Nian was pondering, she saw Jing Mo turn the car at an intersection and finally stop in front of a large iron gate.
Su Nian looked closely, "Is this the supermarket's back door?"
"Right. You can also buy things here, especially if you need a lot, since it's less crowded."
After explaining, Jing Mo got out of the car and knocked on the large iron gate.
There was a small square door on the gate, not even as big as a person's head.
Soon, the small door opened, and a person wearing a mask leaned out, "What do you need?"
"I need twenty kilograms of noodles, twenty kilograms of rice. Also, two boxes of instant noodles, two boxes of crossing-the-bridge noodles, four boxes of self-heating hot pots, four boxes of self-heating rice meals, do you have hot and sour noodles? Give me two boxes.
I want 20 kilograms of pork, twenty chickens, and twenty fish. Do you have shrimp? Give me 20 kilograms!"
After Jing Mo finished, he turned to look at Su Nian in the car, "Do you want anything?"
Though the window wasn't open, Su Nian, not far away, heard Jing Mo's words.
Su Nian shook her head.
She didn't want anything.
She had plenty of these items in her space, there was no need to waste contribution points on them.
Jing Mo glanced at Su Nian, then turned back to the person inside the small door and continued.
"Also, give me two boxes of potato chips, two boxes of shrimp sticks, two boxes of cola, two boxes of Sprite, two boxes of orange juice.
Do you still have spicy strips? Any brand is fine, give me two big bags."
Although there's nothing wrong with a grown man eating snacks, hearing Jing Mo's long list made Su Nian want to laugh.
This side of Jing Mo seemed somewhat adorable.
However, Su Nian was more curious about how many contribution points all these items would cost.
Su Nian didn't have to wait long, soon the gate opened, and Jing Mo's items were carried out box by box.
Jing Mo opened the trunk, and the items were directly loaded into the car.
After loading the items, the person who had been talking to Jing Mo said, "That will be 2880 contribution points."
Jing Mo didn't even frown upon hearing this, and directly swiped his card.
Su Nian was amazed.
People with deep pockets really are different, spending so many contribution points without even blinking an eye.
But thinking about the balance on Jing Mo's card, which was twice as much as hers, Su Nian felt relieved.
If she had as many contribution points as Jing Mo, spending this much wouldn't hurt either.
Although the quantity of these items sounded large, after actually loading them into the car, they didn't even fill half of the trunk.
But many of these items might not have the chance to be produced in the future, being consumable, it's understandable they're a bit more expensive.
After the apocalypse in her previous life, Su Nian never saw these items for sale again.
It's only because this is the first base that these items are available for sale.
With the transaction complete and nothing else to do, Jing Mo drove back to their small building.
It took several trips back and forth to move all the items upstairs.
After moving the last batch, Jing Mo stopped Su Nian, who was about to go home.
"I bought double, half for you."
Su Nian truly didn't expect that Jing Mo bought everything in double, just for this reason.
Looking at the items piled on the ground, Su Nian slowly shook her head, "I don't want it—"
"If you don't take it, then it would seem like I'm taking advantage of you. We've been out together before, and I've eaten plenty of your self-heating hot pots and self-heating rice meals.
It's only fair to reciprocate, now you should take half."
Jing Mo's reasoning seemed sound, yet not entirely.
She had also taken the range hood he gave her!
Besides, how many times had they gone out together?
The food they ate together didn't even amount to two boxes.
The two stood opposite each other, looking at each other, both very stubborn.
After a standoff, Su Nian burst into laughter.
The two of them, acting like this, seemed like two primary school students having a spat.
"Alright, I'll take the items, but let's keep them at your place for now."
"You—"
"Don't you want to learn cooking? Just reading books won't help, I can teach you.
Keep the items at your place, and use them when we cook every day, we can eat together after."
"If you put it that way, then it's settled!"
Jing Mo said, laughing out loud, his laughter was very hearty, "We've been out all morning, you must be tired too, let's skip lunch, but if you're free for dinner, come and call me."
"Okay, I'll come find you."
After agreeing, one went inside their home, and the other opened the gate and went downstairs.
All the way back to her bedroom, Su Nian's smile didn't fade.
The idea of primary school students having a spat was somewhat amusing.
Su Nian didn't forget to bring in the potatoes and sweet potatoes she bought.
After laughing enough, Su Nian finally took out the potato and sweet potato to closely examine them.
The potato and sweet potato were not as big as her palm, and their skin color was lighter compared to the varieties before the apocalypse.
Su Nian brought them close to her nose and sniffed, the scent of potato and sweet potato was also faint.
It was unknown how they would taste.
Su Nian simply took out water, washed a potato and a sweet potato, cut them into slices, and boiled them in two separate pots.
After boiling, the taste was indeed richer than before.
Su Nian first tasted the sweet potato.
The sweet potato was a pale white color, and after boiling, it had a soft and sandy texture, with a very light sweetness.
The potato was also somewhat white, and it had a very smooth texture, but it lacked the distinctive aroma of potatoes.
Aside from a slightly inferior texture and smaller size, there weren't any major issues.
If she could successfully grow them, it would greatly improve the food supply issue at the base.
People could be self-sufficient, and the base wouldn't be under so much pressure.
In her previous life, Su Nian lived in a remote area and never saw these improved varieties.
Now, with seeds and the conditions and time to grow them, Su Nian decided to give it a try.
If successful, it would be an additional source of income; if not, there wouldn't be much loss.
Although she had made a decision, Su Nian wasn't in a hurry to plant them right away.
Jing Mo also bought potatoes and sweet potatoes, so she thought of asking him if he wanted to plant them together.
In terms of planting, Su Nian didn't have much experience, so having someone to discuss and consult with was quite beneficial.
