food crisis [end times]

The official distribution of coal is 300 catties per household.

This amount is really not much.However, the firewood in the village is almost dry now, and there is still some charcoal burned in summer.In addition to these patience, I should be able to survive this winter.

No matter how bad it is, just like last year, two or three families are crowded together, and it is convenient to save firewood for cooking.

But as mentioned above, these are relief coals, if you feel that they are not enough to burn, you can still buy them.One hundred catties of grain per ton, unlimited.

The news caused an uproar in the village.

One hundred catties of grain and one ton of coal are actually not expensive, mainly because there is no limit.

In other villages, most of the residents may not have such food in their hands.But it's nothing to this village.Except for a very few people who are eating relief food in the village, most of them can easily get out thousands of catties of food.

But it is up to each village to decide whether to buy or not.

Xiang Luo was a little curious, whether it was only sold in this village, or whether it was available in other villages.

But I can understand it when I look back.The villagers in this village raise bacteria packs.It must not be too cold if you want to maintain production.Otherwise, even if people can bear it, the mushrooms will not grow.

And people who want to grow mushrooms will definitely buy coal to ensure that the house is warm enough for mushrooms to grow well.

This is in high demand, and an official free offer can be a big sum.And there is absolutely no need for officials to pay for this cost.As long as the price is not too high, no one will buy it.

The officer stood on a high place, looked at the villagers through the high beam of the truck, and had a panoramic view of their expressions.

"Well, those who want to buy coal can come to me to register, and it will be delivered as soon as possible tomorrow. It's just because of the snowstorm, the road is relatively difficult, and the exact time is hard to say. But please be ready at any time, and prepare for delivery A vehicle for coal to come home."

One ton of coal is two thousand catties, and it would take twenty times to go back and forth if there was a strong resistance.It is best to arrange how to send it home.

Then there is the registration.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention, just waiting to bring the coal back.I feel that as long as I wear thicker clothes at home, I am not afraid of anything.But when people were discussing, they realized that they need to grow mushrooms, and this is a guy who eats.There's no need to stop growing mushrooms just to save some coal.

The villagers who reacted rushed to register again, and the three tons of this one, and the five tons of that one, all paid for their purchases.

When it was Xiang Luo's turn, Xiang Luo hesitated a little and said, "Thirty tons."

The accounting soldier was startled: "Are you sure?"

Xiang Luo asked back, "Isn't that enough?"

The soldier shook his head again and again: "It depends on how you use it. For personal use, three to five tons will do."

Thirty tons, that's more than half the weight of a car.A heavy-duty coal truck is about 50 tons.

"I run a factory and use it a lot," Xiang Luo explained.

The soldier didn't say much anymore: "It's fine, it's fine, we'll bring it if you decide, it's up to you how you want to send it back."

"I will arrange it." Xiang Luo signed the confirmed order form and replaced it.

Xiang Luo turned around after signing, and saw Zhou Zhenhua standing not far away.Walked over: "Don't we stock up some in the village?"

The lights were dim, and Zhou Zhenhua couldn't see Xiang Luo clearly.

There were too many things this year, and they affected him too much.

"It's a waste to hoard too much, five tons is enough."

If the village committee has too many houses, three tons is actually enough.

Xiang Luo shook his head and said, "Not enough."

Zhou Zhenhua raised his eyebrows: "Why not enough?"

Xiang Luo said: "There is no food in the village, go back to your place to get relief food. What if there is no coal?"

Zhou Zhenhua stopped talking.

Xiang Luo said again: "What if someone who raises mushrooms finds that the coal they bought is too little and not enough, but the army can't come because of the heavy snow? You can stock up more, and even if you sell them at that time, you can earn a little difference for the village. Even if these are not It will happen, and the coal can’t run away, so if it’s left there for a few years, is it still afraid of expiry?”

There is no reason to dislike too much of such a thing as coal.

As Xiang Luo said, coal will not expire.And who knows if it will be available in the coming year.

Since there is surplus grain in the village, compared with grain, it requires certain storage costs and risks, but coal does not.

Xiang Luo left after reminding him. He will go to the factory early tomorrow morning to arrange coal transportation.

My family needs ten tons of coal to use up, and the rest is all from the factory.

When people come to work, they can't let people freeze.And in order to make them work more neatly, they should wear less clothes at work so that they can work more neatly.

Ready, Xiang Luo pushed the cart and went back.I am willing to burn a fire in my house, and I also have to burn a stove in the garage to keep the ducks warm.

Zhu Yan was already drowsy, and Xiang Luo washed up again to make sure that there was no cool air on his body before getting under the covers.

Zhu Yan stretched out and pressed Xiang Luo's chest drowsily, and fell asleep soon.

Xiang Luo actually made a small discovery.That was when he was not around, Zhu Yan seemed to be unable to sleep well.

When Xiang Luo got up in the middle of the night for something to do in the village, no matter how long he had been out, Zhu Yan would sit on the bed and wait for him when he came back.

And even if he got up at night to go to the bathroom, Zhu Yan would still wake up when he came back.

The tacit understanding is as if Zhu Yan can find him leaving at any time, no matter how lightly he moves.

It is the same now.Zhu Yan, alone, seems to never sleep deeply.Xiang Luo got into bed and Xiang Luo slept soundly.

Zhu Yan never said it, but as the person next to him, how could Xiang Luo ignore the difference he made to him?

He must love himself very much.

Xiang Luo reached out and grabbed Zhu Yan's hand on his chest.The warm palm warmed Zhu Yan's slightly cold fingers, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, many people in the village were already ready to go.Xiang Luo discussed with Li Baoguo, and Li Baoguo asked for five tons at home.Because there is a car body, it can be transported back by adding a layer of wooden boards around the front of the car.

Xiang Luo had a discussion with him, and then he used his family's car to drive home.There is no place to put it in the factory, so it is still in Xiang Luo's yard.Five catties were piled up in the front yard, and the rest were put in an empty container in the backyard.

The container is not small, and it will not be invaded by rainwater when it is loaded in, and it is not afraid of weight loss due to rain washing.It may be troublesome to use later.

But don't be afraid of anything, just call two more young men from the factory, at worst, pay a little more wages in the past few months.

Then Xiang Luo went to the factory and picked up a few strong young men to arrange such a task.

The people in the factory are naturally happy.So the use of coal is not limited.Xiang Luo's original words are that as long as you are not afraid of the heat, you can burn it vigorously, and you can be so willful if you have coal.

The blizzard is still falling, and the visibility is already quite low. The snow clearing operation in the village has not stopped, since last night and today.

However, because of the timely clearing of the snow, the roads in the village are unimpeded, and the transportation of coal by car is also very easy.

Large trucks cannot enter the village, and although the bridge at the entrance of the village uses a large iron plate, its bearing capacity is quite limited.Three to five tons used to be a bit reluctant, let alone heavy trucks.

So all the tractors in the village went out, unloaded the coal from the big truck, loaded it, and then pulled it back, and so on.

There are quite a few tractors in the village, but not many households still have diesel.And it's just a truckload of coal, so there's no need to use your own tractor. It's not easy to know how much oil to use.It's better for several families to work together to use a tractor, and then give some coal to others.It is also convenient for both sides.

Tractors and trucks came and went at the entrance of the village, and Xiang Luo and others had almost transported them, so they took a group of young men to work on their own.

After tossing back and forth six times, all the coal was installed.The young men leading the team were sweating profusely one by one.But looking at Xiang Luo's house full of coal.We all understand that this is mostly for them.

This piece of black coal is the guarantee of their warmth in the future!

After experiencing the severe cold last year, no one can refuse this.

After finishing his work, Xiang Luo asked the young man to wash his hands, wipe his clothes with a rag, and then went back to put on protective clothing and continued working.Xiang Luo tried to use the new medium to light the stove.The quality is still good.

The blizzard is still going on, but the days in this village are much more lively than the previous summer.

Every household was burning warmly. Because of the freezing weather, the mutated mice had completely disappeared. Now you don’t have to worry about anything when you go out. Of course, even if you were worried, everyone was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and the mice couldn’t bite anyone.

Anyway, all the problems are solved now.

All that's left is to take good care of the fungus bag and wait for the duck meat in Xiang Luo's house to be sold.

More than 70 of Xiang Luo's [-] newly hatched eggs were released, and those fluffy eggs were sold at Li Baoguo's place, almost all of which were wiped out in seconds.

Then Xiang Luo released the news, two days later began to sell duck.

It's cold weather, it's time to eat some duck meat to warm up your body.

Those in the village who wanted to buy meat to try something new were all eagerly waiting, thinking how they could fight their way out of the crowd and try something new.

It was also at this time that a tragedy came quietly in the middle of the night.

Xiang Luo was woken up by the sound of the siren in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he looked in Zhu Yan's direction first, knowing that he must have woken up.

After turning off the siren, Xiang Luo put on his clothes and snow boots.Looking at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Calling someone at this time must be a big deal.

Resisting the annoyance of being disturbed before he woke up, Xiang Luo woke up a lot when he opened the door and felt the cold wind blowing on his face, but it was a bit difficult to open the door, and the snow outside fell down to the calf again.The wind is relatively light tonight, so there is also a lot of snow on the high platform.

Xiang Luo shivered, turned on the flashlight and went out to open the gate, and saw that it was a member of the village committee: "What's wrong?"

"It's good to be at home." The man was relieved when he saw Xiang Luo.

Xiang Luo frowned, what does it mean to be at home?Where else could he be if he wasn't at home?

"Please explain more clearly." Xiang Luo asked.

The man said: "The village was robbed! They robbed two families in a row! Just the two families below. After they robbed them, they left and killed two people."

Xiang Luo frowned: "Stealed my relative?"

Otherwise, why come to him?He didn't grab it.

The man hesitated a little before lowering his voice and said, "But the victim said they heard them mentioning you."

Now it's very subtle.

When they went to buy water and were robbed, Xiang Luo was mentioned by the robbers.

Now the robbers have entered the village directly, and cleverly dodged the patrol and Qingxue, entered the village and robbed two families without anyone noticing, and mentioned Xiang Luo again.

No matter how innocent Xiang Luo is, he must be investigated.

Xiang Luo sneered: "So you doubt me?"

The man shook his head hurriedly: "How is it possible, who doesn't know that you are an honest boy? There must be a misunderstanding here. But if you are mentioned, you can come to the village committee. And you are young and smart, so help to think about what's going on. "

Xiang Luo also knew that he had to come forward in this matter, otherwise he would be sincere and guilty.

"The robbers have all escaped?"

"The People's Liberation Army went after them. They killed two of them just now. The rest ran away and are now chasing them."

Xiang Luo shook his head: "Where can I find such a big snow."

It was difficult to travel on this day, and it was even more difficult to find people.The snow has been clearing in the village, and the road is still difficult to walk, let alone outside.

The man sighed: "Maybe they did it because of this."

Xiang Luo nodded and followed him to the village committee.

At this point the village committee has gathered more than 20 people.

The fire was very hot, and the village committee could feel the scorching heat as soon as they opened the door.

As soon as Xiang Luo entered, he attracted everyone's attention.

Xiang Luo didn't show any politeness when he entered the door, and asked straight to the point: "Are you going to suspect me of colluding with those people again?"

The village chief's office was extremely quiet, only a few sufferers were sitting on stools crying.

After hearing this, everyone was not in a hurry to speak. Zhou Zhenhua smiled awkwardly: "Looking at what you said, who ever doubted you? I just asked you to come over and discuss it together. Don't let the person who asked you say something serious?"

Xiang Luo walked in and saw that both families were crying. Xiang Luo asked a middle-aged man whose eyes were red and his mood was barely stable, and asked, "Is this your family?"

The man nodded.

Xiang Luo asked again: "Then you heard them mention me?"

The man hesitated for a moment, to see if there was any sullen look on Xiang Luo's face.

After all, the last person who looked for him could no longer buy mushroom packs, so now he can only apologize to the neighbors and ask others to buy them for him.

"Actually, I didn't hear clearly. I just heard something like 'Xiang Luo said', or 'Speaking of Xiang Luo'. The voice is not loud, and I may have heard it wrong."

Not far away, the crying aunt looked up: "I also said it when I came to my house. I heard it clearly. They said, 'Xiang Luo said that this house has food, so I can't be wrong'."

Xiang Luo frowned slightly and looked at the aunt.

But the aunt said in a crying voice: "But the problem is that it's impossible! There are many people in the village who are richer than my family. Old Xiang's children, we haven't had much face, let alone offended you. How could you pay attention? To my house? It was you who showed the way, and whoever’s house was robbed can’t be my house! Besides, since they didn’t kill everyone, why did they mention you, and deliberately told the villagers that you brought them here? This is inappropriate Common sense!"

Aunt's family died, so she was naturally distraught.But although she is old, she is still not confused.No matter how you think about it, something is wrong.

The family is gone, she is sad, but she has not lost her mind.I understand better that if I act in a muddleheaded way now, it may really delay the real business.

In fact, most of the people at the scene also understood this truth, but felt that apart from accepting their fate, it is normal for the family members of the victims to find someone to vent their anger on.

They're just thinking that Xiang Luo is not easy to mess with, and what to do if they really get into trouble.

Hearing what she said, Xiang Luo felt relieved.Seeing the aunt crying and talking, she took out an individually packaged wet wipe from her pocket, opened it, took out the wet wipe and handed it to her to wipe her face.

"That's the reason. If I really have contact with them, how could they say my name casually? Or both of them have said it, and even mentioned me in the two robberies. You can't be so blatant. It's obviously because I'm afraid you don't know me."

Everyone began to talk about this matter in a hurry, and they were all worried about this matter.

I thought that such a heavy snow day was equivalent to being isolated from the world, but the robbers will still come!

Moreover, the mountain was covered by heavy snow outside, although it was difficult to get in and out, it was equally difficult to hunt down the murderer.

Everyone was chattering in disorder, Zhou Zhenhua waved his hand to ask everyone to stop for a while.

Zhou Zhenhua sighed: "Everyone knows this, but you are honest at home, how can you offend such a person?"

Another person said: "And if I really have a grudge against you, I will rob you directly. There is no need to go through such a lot of trouble."

Xiang Luo was still thinking with a sullen face, when a voice sounded from the corridor outside:

"If you really hate someone, destroying him is much happier than leaving him with nothing."

Xiang Luo was startled, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhu Yan's face that was flushed from the cold.

He was wearing a down jacket and a scarf around his neck.It's just that the scarf is just hanging, so it doesn't have much ability to keep out the cold.

Xiang Luo went over and tied a scarf for him: "Why are you here?"

Zhu Yan came out in a hurry, not neatly dressed like Xiang Luo.The room was full of arguments just now, and none of them heard Zhu Yan coming in.

Zhu Yanren looks fair and clean, and he doesn't look like a child in the village.

People in the village still had a certain sense of mystery about Zhu Yan. When they saw him coming, they naturally became quiet.

Seeing that he is not a hard-working person, even Zhou Zhenhua couldn't help saying: "There is a heater here, come to the heater."

It is usually said similar words to children or girls.It can be seen how delicate Zhu Yan is in the eyes of the villagers.

Zhu Yan didn't move, Xiang Luo first took him to the heating station.The radiator is very hot, it will be warmer if you stand near the radiator.

Xiang Luo looked at Zhu Yan's lower body, he was indeed wearing cotton trousers, but he only wore cotton trousers and no outer trousers.

Without outer pants, cotton pants can't completely lock in the heat. If you come out this winter, don't freeze it.

Zhu Yan ignored him, but looked at the people in the room, and said, "Last time, I was very surprised. They were robbing. Why did they say the names of people who have nothing to do with it? Or is it that their target is Xiang Luo? Want to find him in the crowd? But how could it be possible that they didn't check out the location and understand the situation in advance for such a big operation?"

Xiang Luo kept aiming at Zhu Yan's leg, and said, "This time it's even more strange."
