food crisis [end times]

周六

Regarding the fact that they will sell ducks, the arrangements are basically in order, and on the other side, the final decoration of the factory is almost done. Make sure everything is safe.

Four of the new five factories are relatively close to each other.Therefore, one of the four factories was built a little bigger, and it was specially used as a canteen. There were two groups of people eating here every day, staggering the peak hours.The original factory and another new factory farther away also eat here.If it is inconvenient in winter, you can also prepare a canteen and do it yourself in a small factory. Each small factory has an independent boiler room, so cooking and eating is no problem.

Since the family has raised more and more ducks, the relative treatment of employees has also been better.The frequency of meat and eggs is increasing. After the employees work hard, not only will they not be weak and thin due to hard work, but because the nutrition is better than eating at home, each of them is not only plump, but also has better physical fitness than others. up.

With the comparison of old employees, new employees are even more looking forward to entering the factory.

I chose a good day, bought five firecrackers, and set off firecrackers in front of each factory to make a lot of fun.Many people from the village came to watch the fun. Xiang Luo prepared pancakes made of duck eggs and miscellaneous grain noodles. Anyone who came would give a copy, which made everyone feel happy.

It was also on this day that Xiang Luo borrowed more tables from the village and set them up in the open space outside the factory, gathering all the new employees to have a good meal.There was plenty of meat and eggs, as well as a plate of spinach with garlic and some green leafy greens for dipping and eating raw.

In the past, there was a stalk on the Internet, saying that everything in the Northeast can be dipped in miso.It's an exaggeration, but no one can say no to dipping sauce.Foreigners may not be used to eating it, but this is indeed the taste and way of eating engraved in many people's bones.The food is fresh and authentic.

It's just that after the end of the world, the village has not seen each other for nearly two years.

These dishes were grown by Xiang Luo from the previous aseptic cultivation. For this meal, almost all the grown vegetables were harvested.

Although it is extravagant, it is actually worth it to see the plate being served and the happiness on the face of the eater.

It was almost the second day of the large-scale opening of Xiang Luo's factory, and the car from the wealthy businessman's side to collect mushrooms and mushroom bags arrived at the entrance of the village again.

Because the official bus has already been used, although there will still be people who book with them, the number of people will be greatly reduced.

And when they came this time, they brought not only a transaction, but also a contract.

This is an agreement that every household in the village must sign.

That is an agreement on common interests.Not infringe on each other's interests, but also safeguard each other's interests, so as to benefit each other.

Among them, people in the village are not allowed to sell ducks to people other than wealthy businessmen without the consent of both parties, and vice versa.Before the ducks breed to a certain number, every duckling is a baby bump, and it must be covered tightly, and there must be no omissions.

Because of what Li Baoguo said at the entrance of the village before, it was widely spread in the village, and they basically had a concept in their hearts.Now the wealthy businessman has proposed this again, and he more or less understands the truth.Most people happily signed.

However, some people still feel that they can gain some other interests in this matter, so they deliberately delay the time, saying that they have to think about it again.

But what kind of people haven't seen the rich merchants after the end of the world?After going through too much, when I look at these people in the village, I feel that they have a kind of innocence that should be taken for granted.It's like a person who thinks he is Monkey King holding a golden cudgel to destroy the world, but in their eyes, he is just a child who is not sensible with a plastic rod and doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

So when some people started to procrastinate and others were watching, the people from the wealthy businessman's side already said:

"We respect your choices, but business is for both parties, and a sense of security should also be given to each other. We respect you and your choices even more. If you think that we should not value our gains and losses and benefit you unilaterally, then between us The deal can only end here. Those who don’t sign the contract don’t need to do the previous business. I’ll trouble you to hire another Gao Ming in the future.”

The threat of this statement is very explicit.It has the meaning of "if you don't agree, get out".

In fact, this was instructed by Xiang Luo, who deliberately asked the rich businessman to be the villain.

Of course he didn't want to use this method to overwhelm the villagers.But there is no way, if it is not forced, no one can guarantee whether this group of people will lose their minds and do things like prying everyone's corners.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly: "If you don't do it, you won't do it! We are still afraid that things won't be sold?"

Only then did the people who were threatened realize that yes, their things are not worried about selling.Anyway, now that buses are available, they can bring their own things into the city to sell.At that time, the price will still be decided by oneself, and there is no need for rich businessmen to peel off another layer from the middle.

After hearing this, someone immediately echoed: "That's right! Who is afraid of you! Let's go out and sell things by ourselves and earn more!"

Everyone's emotions were mobilized, and soon you began to talk about each other, and there was a big deal about crusade against rich businessmen and exploiting them.

It's just that they didn't think about it. It's true that the rich businessman made a difference from it, but he has a mature sales network.The cost of transportation, sales, manpower and material resources can be minimized, and the cost can be reduced to the greatest extent, so as to make profits.Moreover, with the official support, the business of the wealthy businessmen can be regarded as unfavorable, and it is convenient for both parties to do business.Rich merchants have channels but no goods, while villagers have goods but no channels.

The cooperation was very pleasant at first, but now being provoked like this, it becomes a wealthy businessman bullying them ordinary people.

But they may not earn more than rich businessmen by carrying the burden and going to the city by themselves.

Driven by these people, more people responded immediately.

However, the rich merchants did not panic at all, but slowly said: "Of course this is your freedom. But I have already signed a contract with Xiang Luo, and the customers we sell are all interoperable. If my side If he has not signed a contract of mutual guarantee of interests, then according to the terms of the contract, he will not sell any goods to those who have not signed the contract, including ducks, mushroom bags and even raw materials."

Xiang Luo wanted this village to be good, but if everyone was smart and there were no stupid people, the world would have been prosperous long ago.Xanadu is everywhere.

Even if you are good for him, even if you wear out your mouth, no one will listen to it.

Most people can only see the immediate benefits, just like a donkey with a carrot in its mouth. The carrot drives the donkey to keep going, and you stop it.Tell him that the gain outweighs the loss, and he may get anxious with you, thinking that you are blocking his way of making money.

Anyway, there will be no more restraints for a few months at most, and this villain only needs to do it for a few months.This counts as a favor he owes the rich businessman, at least to ensure that there will be no problems in the village in the past few months.

As soon as these words came out, it was considered as a way out for those who did not sign the contract.

No one can afford the consequences.Ma Sanlong was the one who was ordered by Xiang Luo not to sell his fungus bag. At that time, Ma Sanlong didn't take it too seriously. Li Baoguo didn't sell it. He could buy it from other places.

But it didn't take long for him to feel embarrassed.Except for his own brother, everyone else was afraid of offending Xiang Luo for helping him, and even if they sold him, they would do so secretly.Moreover, no one buys too many fungus packs at once, and the ones that can be resold to him are also very limited.

As Xiang Luo's reputation in the village grew higher and higher, the villagers began to find all kinds of excuses not to resell him fungus bags.

Fortunately, Li Baoguo sold ducklings again, and he only said that he would not sell him mushroom bags, but did not say that he would not sell him ducks.Instead, he bought a few ducklings, and now life begins to look promising.

But if he hadn't offended Xiang Luo before, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation at all.

This matter was unbearable for the people present, but still that sentence, people are impulsive.

Especially the locals, the least exciting and provocative.The people from the wealthy businessman's side said such words, but it aroused some people's rebellious psychology, and they immediately said things like "If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, they don't care about it."

The group of rich businessmen naturally understand that these people can't be choked, but they can't be compliant either.The action was very crisp and neat, saying:

"Since everyone thinks it's unnecessary, we won't bother you any more. We will come over to sign another contract next week. If we haven't signed a contract by then, it can only be said that we are not lucky enough to make this deal."

Leaving such a sentence, all the wealthy businessmen left, and the truck drove away neatly, without the slightest nostalgia.

He didn't continue the dispute, but just withdrew and left.Instead, the people who had just ignited their anger did not react.

When they left, everyone calmed down.

Get together in twos and threes and start discussing what to do about this matter.

No one dared to make a decision lightly, let alone organize everyone to make something.Otherwise, in case something bad happens, the account will eventually be counted on the organizer.

No one takes this early bird.But they are also a little worried that the threat of the rich businessman will come true.

Immediately someone proposed to go to Zhang Jinnan's side to find out what it meant, but when he went to Zhang Jinnan's house, Zhang Jinnan was not at home at all, and his neighbors said he had gone to the village committee.

A group of people arrived at the village committee where they hadn't been for a long time.

After the end of the world, before this year, the village committee was the most lively place in the village.For at least two days every month, a large group of people gather here to make various decisions.

But since the incident happened years ago, there have been more people watching the excitement in the village, and their respect for the village committee has become less and less.

Now this place has been idle for two or three months, and the village committee members are only members of the Women's Federation. Occasionally, they will come into the village to help some people resolve small family conflicts.

People in the village don't trust them, and even resent their participation in some things.Then they don't join.People in the village think that their welfare is high, so they don't take anything. Anyway, every household has its own business, so why bother to work hard here? It takes time and effort to do the work in the village, and you can't earn fame or fortune. What else are you drawing?If it weren't for the current inability to resign, the entire village committee would want to quit.

It can't be said that they are too famous and rich, but their hearts are full of flesh.No one in this world is born to owe someone, no matter how high the enthusiasm is, there will be no more sneering words.

A group of people came to the village committee, but there was no one there, and Zhang Jinnan was naturally absent.

At this time, the anger in the bottom of everyone's heart had almost been dissipated, but it was this feeling of nowhere to find someone that made them feel even more uncertain.

Everyone gathered together to discuss again, and someone suggested: "Why don't you just ask Xiang Luo what he means."

It was Xiang Luo who concerned them most about this matter.If it's just that rich businessman Zhang doesn't do business with them, they will only find it troublesome at most.No matter how bad they are, they can form a union and sell them together to reduce costs.If the initiative is in your own hands, earn more or less according to your ability.

But if Xiang Luo doesn't sell it to them, it will be broken.Although growing mushrooms is only Maori, it is enough to support the family.Before the end of the world, farming didn't make money, but when food was planted in the field, this person felt at ease.

The same is true for ducks, although after the ducks of other families in the village are raised, you can buy them yourself, but you can't buy them until other people's houses have bred to a certain level first, otherwise, no one will sell them in large quantities before that. The duck cubs that I finally bought from Xiang Luo's queue.Not many of them are available.

When they are raised, laid eggs, and reproduced, they will be left far behind by the village, that is, others will eat meat and drink soup by themselves.

After thinking about this, some people already regretted being impulsive just now.

Hearing someone suggest Xiang Luo, someone responded immediately.Now the people followed to the gate of Xiang Luo's house.

Xiang Luo's house is usually deserted, and the number of people who can come to eat a cup of hot water from Xiang Luo's house may be counted on one hand.He's not a sociable guy and doesn't intend to spend too much time on it.

I knew they would come today, and Xiang Luo didn't even think about opening the door.Hearing the sound of the siren in the house, Xiang Luo, who was ready, put on his down jacket, went out of the yard and closed the door.

"Xiang Luo, tell Uncle the truth, did you also sign that contract?" Everyone pushed and shoved each other for a long time before an older person asked.

Xiang Luo looked around and asked, "I thought I'd at least ask the village chief to come over."

The uncle said helplessly: "Isn't this the village committee without people? Thinking about it carefully, it has nothing to do with them. So come here first and ask what you mean."

Xiang Luo only said, "I've signed it for whatever it means."

"..." The uncle reacted for a while before asking again, "Just signed it like this? Look at their attitude, isn't this obviously bullying? Why did you sign it?"

Xiang Luo just thought it was funny: "Why did they bully you? I think this contract is completely fine."

The uncle was taken aback. In fact, speaking of it, it was they themselves who felt that there were other aspects of this contract that could be discussed.In other words, there are advantages to take advantage of.They don't care who it's for.It's just that they are used to what those people ask for, and they will increase it.If it's a big deal, I don't agree. Anyway, there is nothing to lose, and they are the ones who are worried.

It used to be the same, for example, when the government needed to use rural land for some projects.It is right to step on the opponent's bottom line to obtain the highest benefit.

It cannot be said that they are insatiable.It is the inevitable result of people getting along.Even if it is a serious business relationship, it is to strive for one's own interests as much as possible.

It's just that the old fritters that have been immersed in the market for many years can control their own standards, but the villagers who are not good at doing business are easy to accidentally play off.

So this time, Zhang Fushang let go of his threat, and they panicked first.

The uncle also understands what's going on, but how can he admit his problem?

"It's because you are young and don't understand. Boss Zheng just doesn't treat us as human beings, so he has the final say on everything. If we really listen to his arrangements for everything, we won't know what it's like to be bullied by him just now. Yes. This time they said they won’t let us sell ducks, so we won’t sell them. What if they don’t let us raise ducks next time? We can’t just spoil them. If they want to sign a contract with us, they’re just begging us. Can we still let him control it?"

It's better to avoid the heavy ones and take the light ones.There is no mention of the mutual benefit in the contract, but the distant and uncertain future.In order to increase the credibility, he even spent a lot of time describing what kind of miserable situation he would have in the future if he indulged this time.

Xiang Luo only sneered and said, "Since you have said that I am young and ignorant, why do you still ask me? Don't be led astray by me."

Xiang Luo turned around and was about to leave, only then did the uncle realize that Xiang Luo had never been a humble person, and he had no intention of being humble to his elders.Wealthy businessmen can't be messed with, and Xiang Luo can't be messed with even more.

The uncle hurried up to grab Xiang Luo, with a flattering smile on his face: "Why are you so angry, kid! Aren't we talking about things in the village? You're here too. We don't want to sign a contract, Don't you want you to be involved in the contract? You are so capable, what if someone wants to control you?"

Xiang Luo just shook his head and said, "You guys think too much. You don't know what to do with your life right now, what do you think about the future? Take a step back, even if they are upset and kind, the duck is ours, it's gone. It’s fine if he finds something else. It’s just that he is what we need most right now, and the cooperation and mutual win between the two parties are certain. If it’s really cheap, we’ll make it for us. What kind of business does he still have? Wouldn’t it be good to go directly to charity? ?There are so many poor people now, he can save a few more people with his money, and build a temple for him when they get better. Why waste our words on our side. "

After Xiang Luo finished speaking, the uncle didn't know how to answer it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiang Luo continued: "So there's no need to think about it so much. It's just that it feels right now and it's good for both parties, so I signed it. I'll talk about the future later. Now it's not the past. It's one thing to talk about before. No, it's normal to delay for three to five years. Anyway, there is plenty of time, and whoever can't stand it will take a step back. But it's different now. You may be three or five days away, and the world will completely change. If you don’t seize the opportunity, you are still waiting for the opportunity to beg you? People who do business are not stupid. Now as long as people who know how to make money, there is gold everywhere. We have good conditions, and we are not the only ones who are crooked. neck tree."

When Xiang Luo's words fell to the ground, a voice of refutation immediately sounded from somewhere behind:

"I think you are eating the benefits first and helping to speak."
