Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear that I have food here?" One of the men in a white shirt shouted loudly.

The people behind him hesitated.

Someone came forward with two large bags of centipedes and said, "I have more than 200 kilograms of centipedes here. I'll trade them with you!"

The white shirt rolled his eyes, "Two hundred pounds in exchange for twenty pounds of grain. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"No, I will exchange for two kilograms of grain, but I only have two hundred kilograms of centipedes." The man's face turned red. "Look at us, I have the most here. Do you want them?"

The two of them looked at the bag in his hand and said angrily: "Instead, weigh two kilograms of grain yourself."

The man picked up the grain bag from Leng Yi's feet, walked to the side and opened it to see that so much white rice was his own.

But looking at the fierce looks of the two people, he didn't dare to ask for more. He wanted to take out two kilograms but didn't have a scale. He looked at Leng Yi and said sheepishly, "Can you lend me your scale?"

"I won't borrow it." Leng Yi said coldly.

The white shirt suddenly became angry, and he stretched out his hand to grab Leng Yi's clothes, "You're still in high spirits, aren't you? Why don't I borrow your scale?"

Leng Yi grabbed his wrist and squeezed hard, causing the man to scream in pain.

"I'm here to recycle centipedes. If you don't go elsewhere, don't stop us from doing our work!" Leng Yi said coldly.

"Hurry up, let go!" White Shirt shouted, "My hand hurts so much. Do you know who I am? How dare you offend me and make you walk around without food!"

"Really, I'm waiting!" Leng Yi pushed the person back hard, and the person immediately sat on the ground, covered in ashes.

Leng Yi looked at the others, "If you don't want to exchange food here, just leave. Don't even think about coming back to exchange it in the future. We won't accompany you."

When the man heard this, he quickly returned the grain bag to White Shirt, "I won't change it."

Now if I change it this time, if I catch Centipede in the future and I won’t change it for him, who will he go to?

The man in black next to the white shirt picked up the grain and glared at Leng Yi hatefully, "We'll see!"

Leng Yi snorted, am I afraid of you?

He said to those outside, "Those who want to change can continue, and those who don't want to change can leave. It's a voluntary principle, and we won't force it."

"I want to change, I want to change!" the people outside said quickly.

There is only one exchange point in Yunshan, where can I exchange it if not here? If you offend them, it will be difficult to change in the future.

The two picked up the food and left angrily.

"Master Chen, what should we do now?" the man in black asked.

Chen Shuai thought for a while, "They can trade grain for centipedes, and so can we. Zhu Ze, go get a scale and we'll trade it at your doorstep."

"Okay." Zhu Ze nodded.

On the other hand, Hao Zhiguo attended a meeting at the official camp. The attendees were all the leaders of various disaster relief bases.

Everyone is reporting on the resettlement situation in their own areas.

"Leader, I would like to apply for another 10,000 kilograms of grain reserves." Hao Zhiguo said.

City Secretary-General Lin Zhenhua frowned, "Ten thousand kilograms? What do you want with so much food? Aren't all the relief grains distributed?"

"Old Hao, you are not kind. Our district has as many resettled people as you. You want to apply for 10,000 kilograms more grain. What will we eat?" Wei Ming, another district leader, said.

Hao Zhiguo glanced at Wei Ming. This man had not dealt with him before the end of the world. He always opposed him in political opinions. The two were old political enemies.

Hao Zhiguo ignored him and looked at Lin Zhenhua, "Leader, there is a reason why I want ten thousand catties of grain. As long as you give me ten thousand catties of grain, I will return one million catties of grain to you."

"Ha, why did I see a cow flying in the sky?" Wei Ming sneered.

The others snorted, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, so they had to try their best to hold it in.

Lin Zhenhua looked at Hao Zhiguo. He knew this man, he was relatively upright and a practical person.

He probably wasn't joking when he said this, so he asked, "Do you have any method?"

"Is there any way? He can do tricks!" Wei Ming mocked, "The temperature is so high now that the ground everywhere is dry and cracked. Even if you breed heat-resistant sweet potatoes, it will be useless. Can you grow them?"

Previously, Lin Zhenhua's team cultivated heat-resistant sweet potatoes and won favor in front of the leadership. Wei Ming was extremely jealous.

Who knew that the temperature was getting higher and higher, there was a shortage of water everywhere, and even heat-resistant sweet potatoes could no longer be grown, so he felt relieved.

Otherwise, he would not be able to be suppressed by Hao Zhiguo, and he might become his superior in the future.

Hao Zhiguo was speechless. Can't he just listen to himself finish what he said?

"Leader, actually someone in our team discovered that centipedes are edible. There is almost no loss in grinding centipedes into powder and making centipede cakes. Now we have decided to exchange one catty of grain for one hundred catties of centipedes. Wouldn't ten thousand catties of grain be enough? In exchange for a million pounds of centipedes?”

"When the centipede cake is made, it will be the new food reserve."

"Can centipedes be eaten?" Everyone was shocked and started talking.

They knew that there were snakes that could be eaten before. The snakes were not poisonous and had meat. The gallbladder could be used as medicine and the skin could also be used. So five pounds of snakes were exchanged for one pound of grain to make canned snakes.

But centipedes are nothing to eat, they are poisonous, and they smell so bad. How can you eat them?

"Have you really studied it? Do you have an analysis report?" Lin Zhenhua looked at Hao Zhiguo.

"The analysis report will be out in the afternoon. However, some of us have already done experiments and let animals eat it, and the animals did not die." Hao Zhiguo said.

"Tch, just because the animal isn't dead doesn't mean it's okay for people to eat it. If it kills a person, are you responsible?" Wei Ming mocked.

Hao Zhiguo suppressed his temper and said, "Okay, I'll be responsible if anything happens!"

"Can you afford it?" Wei Ming sneered, "Those are humans, not animals. It doesn't matter if a few mice die, they can be raised again. Do you want to apologize for the death of a human?"

Lin Zhenhua said nothing. It is true that humans are different from animals. If animals can eat humans, it may not necessarily be okay.

"Old Hao, we still have to let the data speak for itself. It's hard for me to handle it without evidence." Lin Zhenhua said.

Hao Zhiguo was a little aggrieved, but he also knew that the leader was right, "Leader, when our analysis report comes out and it turns out that centipedes are indeed edible, can we give us priority to reserve food?"

Lin Zhenhua nodded, "If it is really edible, the harvest will be hundreds of times greater. I can give you even 100,000 jins of grain, not to mention 10,000 jins of grain."

"Really?" Hao Zhiguo was overjoyed. What he wanted was the leader's words.

"Leader, just listen to his bragging. He wants to cheat people with food first. By then, no one in the district he oversees will starve to death, and he will have achieved results. So what should we do?" Wei Ming was anxious.

Hao Zhiguo really couldn't hold back his anger, and Huo Di stood up, "Wei Ming, what time is it now, and you are still thinking about performance? Why am I doing this? It is so that everyone has food to eat, so that everyone will not starve to death. !”

"It's the end of the world, and you're still scheming and deceitful here. Have you ever thought about those people who are starving outside? If it weren't for them, why should I?"

"We earn forty pounds of food a month. My wife and I both have jobs, and our family has enough to eat. Do I need to work so hard?"

"Isn't it because some people in the area under our jurisdiction have no food to eat? We can't just take care of ourselves and ignore others."

"In this world, do you still think about performance? There are so many disasters waiting for us in the last days. We don't know when we will die. What's the use of performance?"

The whole place fell silent.

The silence is deafening.
