Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

"This, this, this? Is this wool?"

"Is this true or false? Young man, you can't lie to others."

"You don't know the goods, how can this be fake? And at first glance, it looks like a fresh product that hasn't been around for a long time!"

The person who spoke extremely rudely was the stall owner of the stall next door. His stall was the largest in the neighborhood. People who had lived nearby for a long time knew him. He used to be a big businessman and had never seen anything before.

After he opened his mouth, someone hurriedly asked: "What are you going to exchange for this wool?"

Mu Xi: "What do you have?"

After saying this, everyone knew that this was not for exchanging money, and everyone was busy talking about what they could exchange.

"Brother, I have a toothbrush just produced in the factory. If you have a bag of wool, I will give you five!"

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely pushed away by the person next to him.

"Go, go, exchange five toothbrushes for wool? You have the nerve to say it, brother, you can exchange with me, and I will give you two big bags of washing powder, plus three toothbrushes."

In addition to food, the production in this city has recovered most quickly from various daily necessities, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, washing powder, clothes, medicines, various consumables, and industrial parts...

"Young man, I don't want your wool. How can I change your eggs? I have batteries..."

In the end, Mu Xi got two boxes of cold medicine, two large packages of sanitary napkins, paper towels and a few coins.

Wool is a rare thing, but it is not a necessity. It is not easy to get these things. Unfortunately, no one has seen this thing in so many years. It is purely taking advantage of the rarity of things.

Mu Xi looked at the coins. This coin was made by the city itself. The previous money cannot be used for fear of affecting the market.

The rich people must have protested, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, in those years when the weather was extreme, no matter how rich you were, you had to huddle underground with the big guys and wait for food to be distributed.

Extraordinary measures are taken in extraordinary times, and everyone must participate in labor.

Mu Xi stuffed a coin into the aunt's hand and thanked her sincerely.

Those who didn't get the wool were still a little unwilling, and they discussed with Mu Xi: "Brother, do you still have wool at home? Bring it to me to exchange for it next time? My daughter has just turned five this year, and she only paints pictures. I’ve seen sheep in books...”

Yes, there are also books.

Mu Xi was perfunctory, but turned his attention to the big stall next door. There were a lot of miscellaneous things on the stall, including books. There were even new books that looked freshly released.

It is understandable that people will pursue spiritual satisfaction after meeting their survival needs. It is not surprising that there are newly printed books. Mu Xi asked the price and exchanged a coin for a book.

The stall owner glanced at Mu Xi, and what he wanted to say changed to another sentence: "Little brother, if you have more wool, come directly to exchange it with me next time. I have everything."

Mu Xi responded with a smile, looking at him calmly for a moment before looking back.

After walking around in a circle and spending almost all the money in his hand, he said hello to his aunt and left the small market.

The aunt waved enthusiastically, retracted her hand and couldn't help but rub her neck. This young man was good at everything, but he was too tall, and his neck hurt when he spoke.

Mu Xi's clothes were neither new nor old, but his height and appearance were quite eye-catching on the street.

He left the city without much delay.

Going out of the city is not as troublesome as entering the city. Just make sure you are not a city dweller and take away your belongings.

Mu Xi was tall and strong, and he was one of the most eye-catching among the mountain people entering the city. The people at the door were so impressed that they let him go without having to check his ID card again.

Mu Xi would rather not have this impression. He came in a helicopter with a guilty conscience and didn't want to attract attention at all.

After digging out the buried things, he immediately replied to Zhao Yeqing: "I'm out, don't worry, go back now."

Zhao Yeqing, who had been hanging for more than two hours, finally let go.

Mu Xi said that the situation here was much better than expected. He originally wanted her to pick him up, but to be safe, he had to walk back by himself.

He was vigilant along the way, and after confirming that no one was following him, he turned back to the road, and returned to Zhao Yeqing's side in ten minutes.

When Zhao Yeqing saw him coming back with a smile, the last bit of anxiety calmed down, and he held his broad palm with his upper hand. He didn't ask about the specific situation, and would talk about it later when he went back.

During the three hours of waiting, Zhao Yeqing had fully charged the car's battery, turned the throttle all the way, and returned to the helicopter. Seeing that the helicopter was still in place, he hurriedly loaded his things into the car. Only then did Mu Xi feel at ease. He will tell you what he saw and heard when he entered the city.

......

"So, the security in the city is pretty good now? We're not the oppressed kind?"

Mu Xi shook his head: "No, the current leaders in the city manage things very well and treat people well. I think everyone is doing well."

Zhao Yeqing hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you think my cousin and the others will be in the city?"

Mu Xi: "Don't worry, we will find a way to find out when we come next time."

Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Mu Xi grabbed the backpack on the ground and took out the contents.

"See what I got in exchange?"

Zhao Yeqing saw that there were sanitary napkins from a brand she had never seen before, as well as paper towels, cold medicine, and a new book at the bottom.

"I just brought some wool and eggs, how can I exchange for so much?"

How much wool can fit in a backpack? It's probably enough to make a small cushion, as well as eggs. There are only a dozen in total.

Mu Xi counted the most scarce items on the market to Zhao Yeqing:

"Food is not very scarce, but there is a daily limit in the big market. The places where everyone lives are not big. They are all former commercial buildings. Some of the houses in the community have become dilapidated after several earthquakes and are not suitable for living. So In fact, housing in the city is not that broad.”

We live in a small place and cannot produce and sell many things by ourselves. Some people have small balconies at home, so they put some broken boxes on it to get some soil to grow vegetables, but that little space is not enough to grow vegetables for a family. It is food for people, and only those who stay at home will regard these dishes as rations.

Most people in the city are involved in the labor force, and meals will be distributed to those who work. There will also be a small amount of official subsidy policies for the elderly and young at home or those who have no labor force, so that people will not starve to death. It can't be replenished much, so growing vegetables on the balcony has become something every household does.
