Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

“What did I say?

Isn’t that what it is?

What else is there to say! "

"Too."

From that day on, the couple began to stockpile things little by little, like ants moving house.

In fact, not only that, I also took advantage of this period of time to use the space as a cover to stock up things and make money at the same time.

I didn't have this plan originally, but who can blame the current fluctuating prices?

Another thing is that there are no surveillance cameras on the roadside or in front of shops, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?

It can be said that I have stockpiled some of the medicines that the child’s father mentioned, whether they are Western medicine or Chinese medicine.

Another thing is that, under the pretext of hoarding things, I used the money I earned to buy some gold.

I didn't plan to leave this gold to my children, so I just kept it in the space.

It’s not that I don’t want to give things to my children, but I’ve already prepared things for them, and I put them in the space in case of emergency.

I’m afraid that one day, what if it happens again?

Although the space is filled with items, I still have to put some money and other things in it, just to be safe.

At the same time as buying and selling, the authorities are once again arresting those who engage in speculation, and the momentum is no weaker than before. This is what my husband said.

"It was really dangerous today, wasn't it?

After so many years, they are still conducting surprise inspections. I heard that many people were caught for speculation and profiteering this time, but I wonder how many people they can catch? "

“No matter how many people are involved in arresting people?

No matter how many people can be caught?

As for small vendors setting up stalls, as long as they have a business license, there is no need to be afraid of them.

We will arrest those who have no documents and set up stalls without permission."

“Yes, and then there are those who drive up prices.

Even though there is a price increase now, it is still within a certain range. In short, we ordinary people can still afford it.

If you want to make money from this, people who don’t have some skills and abilities should not participate. If you get caught, it will be a big deal.”

"Yes, we have almost stockpiled enough at home. Apart from the eldest son and his wife, the other two children in the family don't come back to live with us when they are at work, let alone eat at home.

The food we have stored at home can last us three to five years at least. The only thing we need to do is to pay more attention to the food. I’m afraid it will get infested with bugs if we keep it for too long.”

"Don't worry about this. Most of the food we stockpiled this time is wheat and rice, with only some rice and flour. But they are not as delicious as the newly harvested ones."

"What's the problem with this? When our family was in the most difficult time, didn't we also eat bran cakes?

Even if the food is moldy, we will still eat it. Why would we mind if it is stale?

Besides, it’s not like we haven’t eaten it before, and even if it tastes bad, it’s better than having no food at all.”

"That's true, you said we should stop hoarding, is that okay?

Everyone outside knows about this. If our family doesn't get involved, what if someone finds out?"

"Yeah, then how about this, we buy whatever others buy?

But there is no need to buy so much and waste that money.

Let me tell you, let’s just watch other people buy and just follow them and show our appreciation.

It will save us from being noticed by others. Also, if others ask us about it, we can say that we have a small family and since there is a small population, there is no need to buy too much. "

"You are right. We can also use this time to make sausages or bacon with all the meat we bought.

Even if it’s not as delicious as fresh ones, it’s better than nothing.”

"There will definitely be no meat in the market in the future, but the price will definitely be higher than before, so there is nothing wrong with stocking up some meat and curing it into bacon.

Anyway, every year during the Chinese New Year, our family will make some preparations.”

"Yes, then let's pickle some more salted duck eggs and salted chicken eggs. They can be kept for a long time anyway.

Then you can send more to the boss and the in-laws, what do you think?"

"Okay!

no problem!"

There are quite a few chicken eggs, duck eggs, and even goose eggs stored in the space.

Large-scale feed farming has not yet developed, and the meat and eggs currently on the market are basically natural, so there is no problem in storing more.

I can’t really say what will happen as times change in the future, but fortunately I have some stockpiled at home and in my space.

Now there is some gold stored in the space, so there is no need to be afraid even if everything inside is eaten up.

Besides, it’s not like I haven’t eaten them before in my previous life and I was fine. It’s just that in this life, I’m used to eating pure natural food, so why would I want to eat those things?

But the food on the market is not what you want it to be.

It seems that we have to continue to store it before the food is put on the market on a large scale. Regardless of the situation at home, we cannot leave the space empty.

This is not only due to price changes, but other comrades in the unit are also talking about this in their spare time.

"Ugh!

You tell me, with prices rising so much, how can we ordinary people survive?"

"That's right. My salary is so low and there are so many people in my family. To be honest, if the prices go up, I won't be able to save any money."

"Forget saving money. We are lucky that we don't have to borrow money to get by.

You don’t know that some people, when prices go up, want to buy everything they can at once, for fear of being at a disadvantage in the end.”

"Don't talk about them, we are the same."

"That's right. This morning before I went to work, I went to the store early in the morning to queue up and grab a few bags of laundry detergent. I was afraid that even the price of laundry detergent would increase."

"Don't blame you, I did the same thing this morning, but I grabbed the soy sauce and vinegar.

I originally wanted to buy some other things first, but unfortunately there were too many people and they were sold out before I got to the queue.

Ugh!

I don’t know how long this will last. If I keep going like this, I’m afraid I’ll have too much food. Not only will I not be able to finish it, but what if it goes bad and expires? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as the poison doesn't kill anyone, we can continue to use it.

It’s better than having nothing to eat during the most difficult times.”

“Yeah, but I don’t know what else I need to stock up?

What kind of things have you guys stockpiled?"

"In addition to rice, flour, grain and oil, I have also stockpiled some of the other things that can be bought."

"Me too, I'm just afraid that I'll buy less than others. You know, there are so many mouths to feed at home. If prices go up, what if I don't stock up more and one day there's not enough food?

After all, we don’t know how much prices will rise by then.”

"Who says it's not?

My husband even went to the countryside to exchange some food, but unfortunately, the villagers didn’t have much food to stockpile, and what they did have was only coarse grains.”
