food crisis [end times]

As soon as the staff's words came out, Xiang Luo fell silent.

"Ten thousand catties...my car won't be able to pull it away." Xiang Luo twitched the corners of his lips.

"..." The staff completely believed that he almost never went out, "We only issue food stamps. When you return them, you can exchange the remaining food stamps for food and return them."

"What's the quota after the upgrade?" Xiang Luo asked again.

"The second level is 10 jin, and the third level is 100 million tons." The staff said.

"How many third-level ones do we have here?" Xiang Luo was a little curious.

The staff said: "If you choose to upgrade, you will be the tenth third-level user in this county. Do you want to upgrade?"

"Let's upgrade if there is no other influence." Xiang Luo said.

Five minutes later, Xiang Luo came out with food stamps worth three hundred catties.

It is said to be food stamps, but it is actually embossed characters printed on hard plastic cards.It can be seen that this thing is recycled.

Xiang Luo took a brochure. From the brochure, it can be seen that the face value of food stamps is directly applied to the previous RMB, with a maximum of one hundred catties and a minimum of one catty.

If it is less than one catty, the merchant will directly let the merchant weigh it for you, and there is no need to prepare it.Even a catty of food stamps are scarce.

What Xiang Luo got in exchange was six fifty-face value notes.

After getting into the car, Xiang Luo gave Zhu Yan a few cards: "Spend whatever you want."

Zhu Yan glanced at him, took it over and took a closer look, there was still a direction mark on it, and the workmanship was considered excellent.Just nothing technical.Such cards were placed in the past, and countless identical things could be copied within a day after printing.

But now it is still difficult to imitate, and this kind of food stamps may be different in each place, and the number of releases and the number of numbers are officially counted, so it is easy to find.

Xiang Luo drove to the pedestrian street and told Zhu Yan what happened just now.

Zhu Yan couldn't help laughing: "So you squandered 100 million catties of food viciously, and you just exchange it for me?"

"I'll change it if it's not enough. Besides, it's not for nothing, it has to be paid back." Xiang Luo really didn't want to buy too many things.Of course, it's another matter if Zhu Yan takes a fancy to something.

Zhu Yan sneered, and said half-jokingly: "Stingy men are no good."

Xiang Luo only said: "If you marry me now, I will be as generous as I want."

"Then go out and spread coins all over the sky to try."

"You're the one throwing coins." Xiang Luo drove the car a little faster and headed straight to the pedestrian street.

There was a parking lot outside the pedestrian street, and there was a command there. Seeing that there was no car in the pedestrian street ahead, Xiang Luo comprehended and found a parking space under the command of the traffic police to stop the car.

Zhu Yan put on a mask and a peaked cap, and the two got out of the car.

When he got out of the car and saw the traffic police coming, Zhu Yan coughed lightly.

The traffic policeman frowned when he heard the coughing sound: "Have you caught a cold?"

Xiang Luo said helplessly: "It's been cold recently, he's a bit cold, and he's already weak."

Zhu Yan was already white, so it was easy to fool her.

The traffic policeman looked carefully and nodded slightly.Seeing that they were dressed in good condition, it should be unlikely that they were infected with the zombie virus.

And in the past six months, very few people have been infected with this type of virus.

"There are a lot of people who have caught a cold recently. Then don't take off your mask, just don't infect others. Go in." The traffic police turned sideways and let the two go in.

In the pedestrian street here, the shops on both sides of the road are open, and in front of the shop, on both sides of the road and in the middle, there are three stalls. During the period, Xiang Luo just glanced at it and saw no less than three stalls. Stalls selling mushroom packs.

It can be seen that the current bacterial packs are really worthless day by day with the passage of time.

The second most are cotton-padded jackets and quilts.How cold it was last year has left a lingering shadow on everyone.This year, there are the most people in front of all the stalls related to heating.

After that, there are miscellaneous things.

Go from the left side and come back from the right side.There is only a small amount of pre-apocalyptic packaged food along the road, not any unpackaged or post-apocalyptic packaged food.

Presumably, if the food flowing out here carries germs and infects people, it will also cause panic.And it's for everyone's health.

Xiang Luo took a quick look at the two mushroom bag stalls, and even saw the fungus bag sold by himself.

Because Xiang Luo wants to create his own brand, the packaging of the mushroom bag is a little different, and a piece of plastic logo is stuffed inside the mushroom bag as a logo, so it is very recognizable.

The stall owner saw Xiang Luo's fungus bag here, and enthusiastically sold it to Xiang Luo: "My mushroom bag is from Shili Village, the quality is the best, there are more mushrooms out, and it's not easy to be polluted. Let's Pick two?"

Xiang Luo shook his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.The man took the cigarette and glanced at the brand, and Xiang Luo said, "I just want to inquire about the current market price of mushroom packs."

"Are you going to do this business?" The stall owner looked at Xiang Luo.

"Forget it, do some small business, and consider whether to include the fungus bag in it."

Hearing the smile of the stall owner, he relaxed, carefully put away the cigarette, and said: "Then I advise you to think about it more. Now the price of this fungus bag will drop every half a month. If it was a few months ago, it would This can make money. Let’s put it this way, my mushroom bag is from Shili Village, which is almost the best quality in the market, and the price is more expensive. In just half a year, the price has dropped from ten catties of grain to Now it’s four catties. It’s because of the good quality and government support that it didn’t drop so hard. Anything too much is worthless, and even the best things are cheaper.”

Hearing that his mushroom bag was of the best quality on the market, Xiang Luo felt shy. He lowered his eyebrows and smiled as he thought of something.

The stall owner complained again: "You said they are the same. Didn't this raw material mean to use a little less? Then why do you have to do it with your life? There are too many fungus bags and the price has come down. Can you still make money? What? I can't quantify it..."

Xiang Luo's mushroom packs are of good quality, so even though there are quite a lot of mushroom packs on the market, Xiang Luo's mushroom packs can still be sold at a gratifying price.

It's just that the price is definitely getting lower every day than before.Stall owners set up stalls to make money, and they definitely hope that they can earn more.

Xiang Luo looked back at Zhu Yan, but Zhu Yan didn't speak.

Xiang Luo only smiled and said: "The ability to increase production will definitely mean that we will be able to come up with other new gadgets to continue to seize the market in the future. Those who make fungus bags must be better than those who buy fungus bags."

The stall owner was a little dissatisfied: "Brother, you understand what you say."

Xiang Luo patted the mushroom bag on the shelf: "This stuff is made by my factory."

Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan turned to leave, but the stall owner didn't react.After a long time to react, he stretched out his finger and pointed in Xiang Luo's direction, and he had already gone a long way.

Even Xiang Luo, seeing the popularity of his mushroom bag, couldn't help being a little excited: "Our stuff is pretty cheap."

"These are only a small part." Zhu Yan said, "If all the fungus bags we sell are in this market, then it is estimated that all the stalls on the street sell ours. But there are only a few that can be seen here, not many."

"Of course, we have to give other people's mushroom bags a way to survive. And there are always only a few mushroom bags that can be consumed by ordinary people. It has to be the first time to plant more in the plantation. Those outside the city In the greenhouse, it should be planted like this." Xiang Luo said.

"But there are no mushroom sellers here," Zhu Yan said.

"It's better to plant than to buy," Xiang Luo said.

Zhu Yan shook his head: "Perhaps it is not allowed to circulate privately in the market. After all, there will be security issues. Even if it is grain trading, it must be sealed and packaged."

Then I came to a stall and saw a cosmetics seller.However, these look-at-the-travel shops are a bit dirty, I don't know how many times they have been picked and picked, and there are some big names among them.

Seeing that Xiang Luoguo was watching, the stall owner hurriedly said, "Boy, buy some cosmetics for your partner!"

Xiang Luo couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Zhu Yan, but received a sharp glance from Zhu Yan flying over.

Xiang Luo only said: "This is quite old."

"The inside is all new, but the outer packaging is worn out. These are all good things, and they were sold at a high price before. If you sincerely want me to give you a cheaper price. Seeing that winter is coming, I will sell more It’s good to buy some charcoal and burn it back.”

Zhu Yan reached out and picked up a bottle of perfume, opened the lid and smelled it through the mask.

The stall owner has never seen a person who smells the perfume and does not take off the mask, so he dare not say anything more.He only smiled and introduced: "These are what the little girl likes. It's getting cold now. When it was hot before, these perfumes, face powders and so on were all in high demand. How many boys bought them for the little girl? I got it! Now I can’t take a shower without water, and the sun smells bad on my body, and the perfume can cover it. I’ve bought it several times.”

Zhu Yan put the perfume back: "It's too strong."

The stall owner only said: "If it is not strong, it is not easy to sell. It is the fragrance that can cover the smell of sweat, right? You don't understand this man. When you buy it back and give it to the little girl, the little girl will understand!"

Zhu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the stall owner calmly: "Can't men use it?"

Only then did the stall owner realize that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "You said it earlier! In fact, I also have many men who buy perfume here, and many young people like to be clean. This is quite normal. Don't you like it? Let’s have a floral scent! There are fruity ones, and there are also colognes. But don’t choose too light ones, if they are too light, you can spray them back and it won’t cover up the smell! Men generally have heavier body odor than women..."

The stall owner is also kind, but he is just so chatty when he talks about it.

Sensing Zhu Yan's impatience, Xiang Luo dragged him away.A few shops away were also buying cosmetics, and this person was obviously a lot more honest. He probably saw the lesson of the stall owner just now, so he just smiled at Zhu Yan and said, "You can pick whatever you want, we are all good things."

Xiang Luo is not interested in these at all, and he doesn't even know which one is which.Zhu Yan looked at the choice with gusto.

Xiang Luo took a look at Zhu Yan, if he lay on the bed and sprinkled some perfume on his body, the atmosphere would be good.Although he personally prefers Zhu Yan's own body fragrance.But if other scents are mixed with him, the smell shouldn't be bad.

It's like... the ultimate delicacy with all kinds of sauces?

Thinking of this adjective, Zhu Yan was rarely ashamed.

Zhu Yan sniffed one that smelled good, and sprayed it on Xiang Luo twice.

Xiang Luo smelled an indescribable fragrance head-on, but could only tell it was a chemical smell, and frowned, "Did you fancy this?"

"It's a bit pungent when sprayed out, but it has a refreshing pine scent after a while. That's it." Zhu Yan made a decision, and successfully made the stall owner who saw Zhu Yan spraying perfume with a bad complexion smile on his face.

"How much?" Xiang Luo asked.

The stall owner saw that the two of them didn't seem to go out to buy things often, and wanted to ask for more, so he said, "This is a brand name product, you should know it. My purchase price is quite cheap. I'm earning some hard money, so you can give it to me." Let me have thirty catties of grain!"

Just as Xiang Luo was about to pay, Zhu Yan released the perfume and pulled Xiang Luo to leave.

The stall owner was terrific: "Hey? Don't leave! It's too expensive, so we can discuss it! You can negotiate a price! I think it's suitable and we'll sell it."

Zhu Yan stretched out five fingers: "This is the most."

The stall owner asked knowingly: "25 ah!"

Zhu Yan sneered and wanted to leave again. The stall owner saw that he was really determined, and he stomped his feet helplessly: "Come back, come back! Oh, you kid is really good at bargaining! I'll sell you at a loss. How about you come back again?" Pick something else, at least tell me to make some money."

Xiang Luo knew the high price she was asking for, but he just felt that buying something for Zhu Yan was worth paying the IQ tax.

Zhu Yan handed over a food stamp with a face value of 45, received a food stamp worth [-] catties, and then pulled Xiang Luo away with satisfaction.

"No wonder you can bargain. How do you know it's worth five yuan?" Xiang Luo asked curiously.

If Xiang Luo came to see it, he might give fifteen.

"Give it whatever you want," Zhu Yan said.

Seeing that Xiang Luo didn't believe him, Zhu Yan said: "There are no people in his stall, so he is very eager to buy things. Since he is a lion, he will ask for a price and pay back the money on the spot. He gave a high price, and I will give it to him." It's a low price. I just didn't expect him to really dare to ask for a price. It is estimated that he also earned five catties of grain."

Zhu Yan's housekeeping routine is that the other party offers a high price, and then he gives a low price that the other party may not be able to accept, so that the two sides can pull each other to test the bottom line of the other party's price.I just didn't expect that the other party's bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

Xiang Luo gloated and said, "So you've lost money on this perfume."

Zhu Yan glanced at him and said nothing.

Xiang Luo said again: "That's better than me. I'm going to pay for it."

Going on, I saw a canning stand.However, compared to the other cans that were wiped clean on the shelves, this canning stand was scattered on the ground randomly, and there was still dust on the ground, so it was not clean anyway.

Zhu Yan glanced at it, then walked over and knelt down to pick up a can to look at.

In fact, there are still two or three people picking and choosing at this stall.

But basically they are not well-dressed, dusty people, and their family background is not very good.

Zhu Yan picked up one, and Xiang Luo saw the picture of a dog drawn on it.

Obviously, these cans are not for people to eat, but pet cans for dogs.

They picked and picked, and the stall owner saw Zhu Yan, and saw that he didn't seem like someone who had no meat at home and could only choose this one, and he didn't talk much, just persuading other people who chose.

"It's full of good meat, clean and hygienic, and durable. It's more fishy than other cans. When cooking porridge, put some in it and add a little salt, and the smell of meat is good. And these are boiled, It is easy to absorb, and the nutrition is good. In the past, the conditions were good, and people raised pets as their own sons. These things are also very particular, and the materials are all good. The price is not expensive, so it’s okay to buy it back and eat it at home.”

Hearing these words, Xiang Luo felt mixed emotions in his heart.

The people in front of the stall looked at the cans and didn't know what they were thinking.Maybe he was hesitating whether he would be laughed at if he bought canned dog food and went back to eat it.What may be even more cruel is that when they buy canned dog food, they also have to consider whether the food in their pockets can afford the cost.

Zhu Yan asked, "How much?"

The stall owner looked at the two of them, wondering if the young master from a rich family came out for entertainment, but said cautiously: "One catty of grain."

"Can I get a discount if I buy more?" Zhu Yan asked.

The stall owner said, "Let's see how much you sell."

Zhu Yan took out two [-] food stamps: "How much can you hold these?"

The stall owner was still a little worried, and said, "You buy it back..."

"Of course it's for food, you pretend it. As long as you have a good date!" Xiang Luo said.

The stall owner nodded again and again, and after filling two cans, he asked again: "Do you want all of them? Do you need two cans of cats? The insides are made of tuna. They are nutritious."

Zhu Yan said: "Just two will do, try something new, don't eat too much of this."

The stall owner already understood that this is feeding the dog.He didn't say clearly that he just wanted to save some face for other people in front of the stall.

If Zhu Yan directly said to feed the dog, the two people who were squatting in front of the stall might turn around and leave.

No matter how poor you are, you have self-respect.It's so difficult that I started to eat canned dog food to replenish oil and water. At this time, people collapse in an instant.

The stall owner saw that both of them had good intentions, and after picking up [-] cans, he took ten more: "These are just expired, only a month or two. It won't go bad, and it may still be edible after ten years."

Zhu Yan didn't refuse, picked up his things and left.

Xiang Luo took the things from Zhu Yan's hands and carried them by himself, and walked forward for a while without turning back.

"Each has its own difficulties." After walking a certain distance, Xiang Luo sighed.

"It's good to be able to eat this." Zhu Yan said, "At least the nutrition of this is quite comprehensive. The nutritional intake of dogs is relatively similar to that of humans. Humans can eat the nutrition of dogs without any problem."

Scientifically speaking, this is of course no problem, but the hurdle in people's hearts has never been so easy to overcome.

"But at any rate, we can finally eat something serious in Nao Nao."

After the dog food was finished, Nao Nao could only eat leftovers with them.Other things to say, when it comes to meat they are basically just canned.But people's canned food is very salty, and if the dog eats too much salt, it will turn into dandelion essence, making the house full of noisy dog ​​hair.

But they can't tell the authorities that they want to buy dog ​​food, and they don't necessarily pay attention to it, so they have always been wronged.

"Some of the food is good." After Zhu Yan finished speaking, he smiled again, "But life is definitely not the same as before. In the past, he only ate dog food and canned food of international first-line brands that cost tens of dollars a catty. Everything from milk powder to nutritional products is not bad. Sometimes I will customize high-quality dog ​​rice for him with high-quality beef as the raw material. Don’t we still eat our leftovers now?”

Zhu Yan raises the dog as his son, not as his ancestor.It's just that when I have the conditions, I will definitely create better conditions for the dog to make him live better.But if there is no such condition at home, it can only ensure that he can eat enough.

Just like that joke before.

When the family is rich, the dog eats better than the human.When the family is poor, people eat what the dog eats, and when it is worse, the dog eats what the dog eats.When desperate, consider eating dogs.

Now my family is at the stage where people eat what dogs eat.Most of the other families were in the era when dogs ate what people ate.

It's just that there are no people who eat dogs anymore.

As early as in the past when there were zombies, the dogs were basically dead.

Xiang Luo said sourly: "I haven't eaten yet."

Zhu Yan sneered: "If you had called twice two years ago, you would have eaten it."

Xiang Luo approached Zhu Yan, and whispered almost close to Zhu Yan's ear: "If you can let me eat your meat, you can call me whatever you want."

Zhu Yan raised his leg and kicked forward, Xiang Luo had already sideways dodged.

Walking along the way, the two of them went into the store to pick out two clothes.Walking around, I still don't know what to buy for An Wei.Fortunately, I saw someone selling electronic equipment such as notebooks at low prices.

Moreover, the most expensive computer with the best configuration only sells fifty catties of grain.

The two's needs for computers are limited to being able to use and play small games, and they don't have many other requirements, and they don't know much about them.The Xiang Luo computer that Anwei is using now is a laptop that sold for four to five thousand a few years ago. The configuration is not high. The desktop configuration at home can be higher, but it consumes a lot of power. Xiang Luo and Zhu Yanyong.

It would be nice to buy him one.

I experimented with the operation at the seller, and checked the configuration and there is no problem.The food stamps in their pockets were almost sold out, so the two walked towards the exit.

When he was almost at the exit, Zhu Yan felt someone passing by, and felt his pants being touched.Zhu Yan's reaction was extremely quick, and he turned around and kicked the man's waist and eyes.

The man screamed in pain and jumped forward, almost hitting two people, causing a panic.

Zhu Yan handed the notebook in his hand to Xiang Luo who was next to him, and walked slowly in front of that person with a cold face.

The man backed away in fright, and was about to run back.

Zhu Yan stepped forward and stepped on the man's ankle, and the man screamed and struggled even more.

"Take it out!" Zhu Yan said.

The man saw that Zhu Yan knew kung fu, so he didn't dare to confront him, and immediately shouted: "Come on! It's a robbery! It's going to be robbed in public! Is there any reason! Come on, come on!" !"

Xiang Luo was holding him in his arms, and it was not easy to go to help, but he just stood not far away and watched Zhu Yan aggressively and neatly clean up the thieves, his figure was really eye-catching.
