末世 二三 事

The next day, Jing Lin woke up early, fed Lele water, and carried him to Zhao Zhiwen's house, asking Zhou Yu to watch over her.Then, like yesterday, I went shopping with Zhao Zhiwen and Zhao Chenghuai.

The meeting in the village was held yesterday, and those who still have cash at home, and those who don’t have cash, look for people close to them to borrow some.Although the current situation is special, they are all in the same village, you can't see up and down, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. No one knows if you rejected the other party's request today, it will be your turn to ask for help someday, so others have spoken. I will also borrow some more or less.

People in the village who want to buy things basically come out by bicycle. Of course, not everyone has a tricycle. The person who chose the bicycle, tied a stack of snakeskin pockets and a roll of hemp rope on the back.

The small building of Yan Fei's family is at the entrance of the village, and it is also a house far away from the center.When Jing Lin passed by on his bicycle, he happened to see Yan Fei's family coming out with a carriage.It is also unusual for others to ride on horses, but it is much easier, and the horses run much faster than they ride.

The journey to the county seat is much longer by bicycle, at least four to ten minutes.

Jing Lin and the others left early, and the weather was relatively cool that day, the temperature was not too high, and the riding was not too hot.There are cars all the way to the side, large and small, which looks a bit messy visually, and in some places there are many workers unloading around the paralyzed vehicles, and they are transported purely by manpower.

To enter the city, you have to take a bridge. To the left is the route to enter the city. The county north station is in that direction, and the right is to the county south station. The largest food wholesale market in the county is there.Jinglin and the others got in touch with the villagers, so instead of going into the city, they got on the bridge and turned right, going directly to the wholesale market.

Cycling all the way to the wholesale market, I saw that the ten-meter-wide entrance was almost completely blocked by people and vehicles, and the security personnel of several markets did not help in the slightest.Unexpectedly, there are so many people here so early, Jing Lin looked at the crowded crowd, got out of the car, and discussed with the villagers who came with him: "Let's leave two people to watch the car." Then he turned to Zhao Chenghuai, "Uncle, you stay here." Come down, Zhiwen and I will go shopping."

"Okay." Zhao Chenghuai replied, and then ordered a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who also came with two people at home, "Sister-in-law Yinghua also stay."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are named Liu Yinghua, and the daughter-in-law is named Liu Suqin, and their parents are from the same village.In addition to them, there are two children in primary school in the family now. The men in the family have gone out to work, and usually only come back during the Chinese New Year.Liu Suqin is a bit fat, and at 1.7 meters tall, she is taller than many men in the village, so she looks stronger, and she is energetic in her work. The snakeskin pocket in the bucket, said: "Mom, stay and watch the car, I will go in with them."

Liu Yinghua hurriedly said, "Then be careful, buy more salt and go home."

Liu Suqin said: "Don't worry, I know."

After discussing it, Jing Lin and the others walked towards the entrance.What goes in has to go in, what goes out has to come out, shoulder-to-hand bags, large and small bags, tricycles and two-wheelers full of goods, what a mess.Just squeezing in, Jing Lin and the others broke out in sweat.

Jinglin and the others mostly buy salt and other seasonings, so they went directly to the seasoning area.Passing the rice grain area, I saw two young men quarreling over the right to use a small cart. Both sides were red-faced and almost fighting. No one around tried to dissuade them, and they all walked around them indifferently and squeezed in.

Jing Lin and the others didn't stop. When they came to the seasoning area, they found that although there were many people here, it was much less than the rice area.That’s right, in addition to adding flavor to food, who usually only eats condiments for a living, and most people don’t buy much. Now in such a panic-stricken period, more people are rushing to buy things that can fill their stomachs.

Jing Lin and Zhao Zhiwen went to the innermost place and chose a family with few people to go in, and the people from the village followed suit.There were nearly ten people in Hulala, and the shop full of goods was crowded at once.

Because the boss does not accept bargaining because it is already a wholesale price, everyone directly starts to choose what they want.Yan Jinglin bought two more boxes, soy sauce, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, etc., all of which were bought in a box. He also bought a lot of various chili sauces and edible spices.

When carrying the soy sauce, Jing Lin saw the jam next to him, and his heart skipped a beat.From Yan Ruifeng's words, no one knows what the future will be like, but it will not be good in the end. Fruits are not durable, but it will be different when made into jam.Lele is only five years old, and the nutrition of fruits is indispensable.The tricycle was too small, he thought that he would go to the county town for the next two days, and buy more fruit to go back.

There is rice and wheat, and there is a field at home to grow vegetables. What is lacking in food is these seasonings.The flavored ones were almost bought. Jing Lin went to pick up a dozen boxes of milk. When he passed the dry goods area, he saw dried fruits for sale. The pig farm just killed the pig and pulled it over, and it still looks fresh.

I am much more tired when I go back than when I came here. The tricycles without a home are almost full. For those who ride bicycles, there are two snakeskin pockets tied on the left and right sides of the back seat, and there is a bag in the middle. One bag, fortunately the car is strong enough, otherwise I really don't know how to transport so many things back.

It took a lot of time to purchase. When I got home, Jing Lin rode all the way. It was not as easy as riding for more than ten hours at once, and the root of my thigh hurt.As soon as I got back to Zhao Zhiwen's house, I spread out on his wooden chair and rested for a while before I got up to watch Lele.

Lele didn't wake up, but the red bumps on her body looked much lighter now, so Jing Lin felt a little more at ease.

After resting until three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of people rode bicycles to the county again.

Out-of-season fruits are too expensive, and money is tight now, so Jinglinbuy always picks out seasonal fruits and buys them cheaply.Although the villagers also bought some fruits, seeing that Jinglin bought all the fruits this trip, he told him earnestly that it was more important to buy them to fill his stomach.Jing Lin thanked him, but he still bought according to his own ideas. He bought a lot of peaches, and then the apples that are always in the family. He bought some jujubes. I also bought some, and the total cost was more than 100 catties.

After taking things home, it was already getting dark, and happened to meet Yan Fei's family who were driving a carriage back, and they were carrying grain from the tin shed.Unlike the people in the village, their family has always stored a lot of rice and grain. Their family's land has been rented out to the captain's family for so many years, and they have been given cash.Today, Jinglin and the others went to the county seat, while they went to the surrounding villages, where they harvested rice and rapeseed oil.

In the evening, Jing Lin returned to his home, put his things back together, spent nearly three hours refining the pork suet, cooked a bowl of noodles, and ate them with the oil residue before taking a shower and going to bed.

The next day also set off early in the morning.Today, the three of Jinglin and the villagers left separately. The villagers still went to the wholesale market, and the three of them turned left into the city.Although there are still cleaners cleaning, but many shops are closed, it looks a lot more depressed, and the people walking on the street are no longer looking relaxed.

They found a daily necessities wholesale department and bought a lot of washing powder, soap, shampoo, etc., and bought one piece of toothpaste, a total of 72 sticks.I bought a lot of toothbrushes and a stack of towels for washing my face.Seeing a hand warmer for charging, he thought that there was no electricity, and this thing was useless, but Jing Lin asked the boss if there was a hand warmer that could directly fill the bag with water.The boss said that the general store did not buy that thing, but he has a lot here, which are all the inventory that was suppressed in previous years.Jing Lin bought twenty, and Zhao Zhiwen also took twenty.

When the boss was giving them change, a small supermarket diagonally opposite suddenly became noisy. Several sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers ran out of the supermarket with a lot of things in their arms. Followed by a few supermarket workers, while chasing and bending over to pick up things, they yelled that someone was robbing.

"Oh, the world is going to be chaotic." The boss sighed.

Jing Lin asked, "How's the situation in the county?"

The boss said: "You have also seen the situation just now. Small supermarkets have been robbed every day these days. As far as I know, there are several closed supermarkets on this street. One is afraid of being robbed, the other is afraid of Something really happened, at least there are things in my supermarket to save lives."

"Then why don't you rush to open the door anyway?" Zhao Zhiwen interjected.

The boss smiled wryly: "I can't do anything about it. I still have so many goods in the warehouse, and I can't eat them if I store them up, right? It's better to sell some and get the money to buy other things. After two days of opening, my store It's closed too."

After saying goodbye to the boss, Jing Lin said that he wanted to buy some vegetables to go back.Zhao Chenghuai took him to the seed store, and Jinglin bought vegetables that he could keep for himself later on. Cucumber, bitter gourd, eggplant, and green peppers were definitely indispensable. I also bought garlic, ginger and scallions for seasoning.Anyway, as long as the family can grow, they bought more or less. Zhao Zhiwen's family kept a lot of seeds, such as cowpeas, green beans, pumpkins and winter melons, so Jing Lin didn't buy them.

In the end, Jing Lin went to buy a lot of glass airtight jars, some of which were used to hold noodles, Chinese prickly ash and dried chili, and the rest were used to hold jam.In this way, the bucket was almost filled, and the three of them went back home.

Today, after only an hour's rest at noon, he went out by bike. This time, what he wanted to buy were some medicines that he always had at home, as well as the indispensable tissues, and the talisman that Jing Lin had always been thinking about.

They went directly to the paper factory in Huangtai Town for paper towels, and each bought a carload at wholesale prices.Then I went to Jinhe Town, bought some medicines in the three small pharmacies in the town, and then went to the county town, and visited all the big and small pharmacies in the county town by bicycle. The total amount added up was quite a lot.

Finally, Jing Lin said that he was going to Zhizha Street in the county seat.
