Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World
Chapter 32 Purchase Restriction Order
I won’t go into detail about the torture that a few people experienced from uncles and aunties. Anyway, when they came out of the supermarket, every part of their body hurt.
Xu Yang: "I've been busy with work lately and I don't know why there are so many people in this supermarket. It seems like things are free..."
The thick-browed Jiang Kai next to him rubbed his buttocks and said with a grin:
"Isn't that right? There are so many people here. I don't even know who pinched my butt! When I turned around, it was all uncles and aunts... Hey, it still hurts!"
Fan Yang winked and said: "Hey...who made your boy look good? My aunt likes this kind of thing like yours. This is called the caress of love! Well, I can't say it's the uncle..."
Jiang Kai: "Fuck you..."
Fan Qi ignored the laughter of several people and just frowned at the crowded supermarket.
After looking at the large and small packages lying on the ground, I could hardly fit them in the car, so I had no choice but to greet my companions and go home.
Fortunately, Fan Qi reacted quickly, because in two days, gone are the days when you can buy as much as you want as long as you have money...
(The long-lost dividing line)
The arrival of high temperatures has indeed caused a lot of trouble. Many people were forced to stop working, but the operation of the entire society could not be stopped. After a period of exploration, the government issued new working time arrangements.
Some social security units and various factories are back in operation after a few days of rest. It just changed from day shift to night shift.
Various problems also emerged, such as a sudden increase in power consumption, ultra-high loads and high temperatures, which caused frequent circuit problems.
Therefore, during this period, relevant units have been busy maintaining and repairing circuits and replacing electrical equipment with higher temperature resistance.
With the implementation of various measures, in addition to changing work and rest times, people's lives seem to have returned to their normal rhythm.
But the sun hanging high in the sky is still radiating heat continuously. The water level in the reservoir has been in critical condition continuously. Recently, according to surveys, even the groundwater level has begun to decrease.
In the surrounding grain fields, although the government responded quickly and installed sunshade nets in time, the crops are still not growing well, and a reduction in production is already an inevitable outcome.
If there is still no rain during the grouting period, and water resources are now in short supply, it is possible that some crops in poor terrain may fail to harvest.
The leaders of Dancheng City Government are so anxious that their hair is almost falling out. They have reported to their superiors many times and applied for assistance.
But now the whole country is under the shadow of high temperature, no, it should be said that the whole world.
Many cities in the south have experienced temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius. Large areas of crops have withered and prices have skyrocketed. Food and water prices have skyrocketed.
People are unable to produce and live because of the high temperature, which has caused a series of problems. Various illegal and criminal incidents such as theft and robbery occur frequently.
Some cities where the situation is extremely serious have begun to implement martial law.
At the same time, a large number of people who had gone to the south to make a living began to return to their hometowns. There were also many southerners who felt something was wrong and began to move inland.
Relatively speaking, the situation in Dancheng is all good. There are too many places that need support. For a city like Dan City that still has some spare capacity, we can’t think about support for the time being and can only seek self-rescue.
After several rounds of discussions among the city leadership, Dancheng is about to implement a purchase restriction policy.
Each person can make purchases with their ID card. People with mobility impairments can have their family members pick them up on their behalf after being confirmed by community personnel.
People aged 15 to 50 can buy three kilograms of rice, flour or corn, sorghum and other grains per person per day. Two pounds of vegetables and ten eggs. The total price of various daily necessities shall not exceed 500 yuan.
For children under 15 years old and over 50 years old and for the elderly, the allowance is halved in turn.
The introduction of the purchase restriction order was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake. There were waves at first, but it eventually became calm.
Because Dancheng is not the first city to issue a purchase restriction order. As early as ten days ago, more than a dozen cities in the south issued purchase restriction orders.
Nowadays, the Internet is so developed that even the slightest disturbance cannot escape the eyes of netizens.
Residents in cities that have not issued purchase restrictions are taking heed of the situation and have begun to rush to buy various supplies, with the attitude of spending all their money.
However, Dancheng issued the purchase restriction order a full ten days late, which has already given citizens a lot of room for movement.
The issuance of purchase restriction orders is inevitable. No matter how large the country's food reserves are, they are not endless.
Allowing food prices to skyrocket will only lead to hoarding by the rich, while ordinary people struggle to survive.
This is not conducive to the stable development of society. Once the purchase restriction order was issued, the hoarding behavior of wealthy people was greatly suppressed, leaving greater living space for ordinary people.
Xiang Chi and Xu Ge had already notified various relatives and friends to stock up on food and daily necessities when the purchase restriction order was announced in the first city.
In order to prevent people from short-changing their money, the government requires all residents to wait until community personnel confirm the information before they can start shopping.
There is a community service center in Biliu Community, the community where Xiang Chi's family is located, and someone posted a community announcement in the community owner group.
[Community staff will conduct personnel checks on time in the community square from 7 pm to 2 pm today and tomorrow (July 7 and July 3) for two days.
All owners are requested to arrive on time and line up in an orderly manner for confirmation. Those who have not been confirmed within two days should go to the community service office on July 7 to handle the matter.
7月3日24时后,仍未办理确认手续的人员请于7月6日24时前自行前往市政府服务中心进行确认手续。
Address: Community Service Office-1rd Floor, Building 3, Biliu Community
Address: Municipal Government Service Center-No. ****, Yulong Street】
There must be a lot of people going to confirm the information on the first day. Xiang Chi didn't want to feel the joy of being crowded. Han Dongdong, a pregnant woman, was also afraid of bumping into each other.
The two families discussed going through the confirmation procedures together the next day.
After confirming the information the next day, the two families went to a nearby large supermarket.
Looking at the crowds of people at the entrance, Xiang Chi sighed:
"I knew there were many people, but I didn't expect there to be so many people! This must not be messed up..."
Xiang Ma patted her daughter on the shoulder and pointed to the special police at the door. The meaning was self-evident.
Fortunately, there are special police, otherwise, so many people would have become chaotic.
After finally queuing up and entering the supermarket, it was already half an hour later.
People will be affected by the environment. The few people who originally planned to go back to buy a little were stimulated by the people around them and joined the rush to buy. They all piled up a cart full of things according to the maximum limit.
Xu Tao protected Han Dongdong and moved with difficulty among the crowd. After finally squeezing into the nutrition section, I turned around to pick out some milk powder, but someone pushed the cart away...
