food crisis [end times]

Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan only bought two fish, and it is not worthwhile to ask for more or less.

Uncle Li also saw that these two people are not easy, since he still counts on this business in the future, he will admit it even if he suffers a little bit.

Zhu Yan took out a small twenty-gram gold ingot from his pocket: "Is this enough?"

Don't mention Uncle Li, Xiang Luo's eyes are also straightening when he looks at it.

Uncle Li couldn't believe it when he looked at the golden gold.

"you……"

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Not enough?"

"Enough enough! There may be a little more of these." Even in this world, people generally believe in gold.This is still a hard currency that can be circulated in the market.

Although fish is precious, it is not as precious as gold.

At present, there are also people who exchange a gold necklace for several months of rice grains because they can't live on.Only when the purchasing power of gold collapsed in the short period of time before the collapse, the purchasing power is quite large until now.

"I don't care if there are too many. We only need two fish. It would be even better if you didn't use them for breeding and weeding out live fish. I want to eat fish that are still jumping when they are put into the pot. That's delicious. .As for the rest, just treat it as a deposit for me to fix the fish with you."

Of course Zhu Yan could bring out other things to sell fish, but nothing is as powerful as this little ingot.

It's small, but it's solid gold.

In fact, there are not many such gold ingots Zhu Yan, most of the gold in his hand starts with 50 grams.But if he just bought fish, he wouldn't have to spend so much.

Xiang Luo glanced at the small ingot of gold, he didn't understand the world of local tyrants.

Uncle Li looked at it seriously, and calculated how much grain this little gold ingot could sell for and how long it would last.He reached out and took Yuanbao into his hand.

The small ingot is really small, not as long as a knuckle, but it is heavy and heavy in the hand.

Looking up and down, there is a steel seal on it, and the feel and color are not fake.

In fact, there is no need to take fake ones.

Uncle Li told them to wait a while, and then went to arrange to find fish for them.

It can be seen that Xiang Luo and the two really didn't intend to raise fish.

And taking a step back, in this world, even so many people in their village who specialize in fish farming can't support it, and it's even more difficult for laymen.

Uncle Li picked from the existing fish and picked two spirited ones, put them in a bucket and brought them to Xiang Luo.

"Do you have barrels? Our barrels are also very valuable. If you can keep them for us, let's keep them." If you take away Uncle Li, you won't stop it.

It's just that in this world, any container of water is very valuable.

There is a foldable bucket on Xiang Luo's cart, so there's no need to take advantage of it.

After so many years in the last days, Xiang Luo finally saw a live fish.

These are two grass carp, each weighing more than three catties.It looks quite fat.

The guard's bald head looked a little straight, looking at Uncle Li and wondering what he was thinking.Uncle Li just waved his hands at him, telling him not to talk nonsense, and turned around to wave his hands at Xiang Luo and the two: "Aren't you going to stay any longer?"

Xiang Luo said: "We still have arrangements to go back, and someone should come over in two days."

After waving goodbye, Xiang Luo sat in the driver's seat and saw Zhu Yan sitting in the co-pilot: "Aren't you going to lie down in the back?"

Zhu Yan thought for a while, got out of the car and entered the back to find a suitable position to lie down.

Today he got a little motion sickness.

It's been too long since I went out.

Xiang Luo tried to drive the car as fast as possible, and left the potholed road.

When the road was relatively stable, he slowed down: "Today's harvest is not too big."

Zhu Yan said: "Two fish are enough."

They have more water than imagined, but far fewer fish than imagined.

Therefore, the originally conceived plan had to be changed according to their situation.

It must be said that Zhu Yan's reaction was quite fast.After getting the news from there, he immediately changed the following conversation, and looking at it now, what he gave was in line with expectations.

"As long as the fish can be traded normally, it will be easier to open the duck market in the future."

Like water was never the main object of their trade.In fact, buying fungus bags is not the primary goal of the two.

Again.With the support of the government, the fungus packs will one day become rotten, and the benefits that the fungus packs can bring will become less and less as time goes on.

At that time, the duck is the protagonist.

But there is no need to reveal it now. First of all, the wealth should not be revealed, and the way to make a fortune in silence is the kingly way.Secondly, if this word is suddenly brought out in the future to give them a "surprise", it is more suitable for future bargaining.

This time it seems that the benefits are not large, but in the long run, many problems have been solved.

Right now, Xiang Luo has laid enough sales outlets for his uncle's house and Jiupaozi Village, and it will not be easy to make adjustments in the future.

They do business with the government, and they can't let go of the scattered business of ordinary people.

Only by accumulating a little, can we become stronger and stronger.

"Stew fish at night." I have been eating frozen fish before, but now I finally see live fish.

In fact, if you really want to eat it, Zhu Yan's trading system can buy it.It's just too expensive, and Xiang Luo doesn't want to part with it.

"The head and tail of the fish are boiled in soup, half of the body is stewed directly, and the other half is made into sweet and sour fish." Zhu Yan laughed.

"You know how to do it?" Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows, and said again, "But it's true, you have to make the best use of the fish you get in exchange for gold. My grandfather also fried the fish bones and ate them, and made the fish scales into jelly."

Zhu Yan sneered: "Are you still sore?"

"With a prodigal daughter-in-law like you, can you not be sour?" Even though Xiang Luo said that, the smile on his lips was quite doting.

My daughter-in-law naturally wants to do what she wants.Too bad it wasn't his gold.A daughter-in-law can spend his gold wandering around, and that will give her a sense of accomplishment.

After all, it’s still about making money.

But the problem is that making money also depends on Zhu Yan's guidance.

Wanting to understand this point, Xiang Luo can only entangle himself infinitely in the reality of eating soft rice.

If Xiang Luo wasn't driving, Zhu Yan really wanted to give him a kick.

Simply turning over to face the seat, Zhu Yan squinted his eyes and fell asleep.

Less than half an hour's drive was enough for him to take a nap.

The car went round and round and entered the village, and the People's Liberation Army standing guard at the entrance of the village saw the car and got on the board.However, he was not in a hurry to let in, but checked his body for trauma.

"This is... a fish?" Hearing the sound of fish splashing in the water, the People's Liberation Army took a look.

"I bought it from another village. Try it out. There are two of them. You can try one too?" Xiang Luo said with a smile.

The soldier shook his head again and again: "There is a rule that you can't take it, and we have canned fish."

Xiang Luo didn't force it either. After all, as long as Jiupaozi Village could reproduce the fish, his own ducks would be ready.The people in the village have a luxurious life of eating big fish and meat.

And the soldiers stationed in the village are no exception.

After returning home, I put the fish in the kitchen, ready to stew it at night, and asked Zhu Yan to go to bed and sleep for a while.

Xiang Luo drove the car into the garage and locked it, and then went out with an umbrella again and went straight to the village committee.

Xiang Luo wanted to talk about cooperation with Jiupaozi Village, but he didn't expect that there were quite a few people there, more than 30 people stood there.

The village chief Zhou Zhenhua saw Xiang Luo's eyes brighten, and hurriedly beckoned him to pass.

"It's just in time for you to come. There is a message from above."

Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows: "What news?"

Zhou Zhenhua said: "It is said that a big boss will come to help us invest in construction. At that time, we will set up a large factory to make mushroom bags. You are still the protagonist here. You will arrive in three days, so you should prepare more. "

Xiang Luo knew that the official could not just help solve the problem of the raw materials of the fungus package and then end it. He didn't expect to prepare such a "big gift".

It is undoubtedly a good thing for the villagers to let businessmen come to develop and invest.It's just that for Xiang Luo personally, it's tantamount to decentralization.

Zhou Zhenhua had a bright smile on his face: "From now on, we will have something to rely on. After the big boss comes, we can build a few more venues in our village."

Xiang Luo said coldly: "Then you still need to find out whether it is he who invested and let us be the bosses to build the factory, or he will build the factory and hire us to work for him. This matter is very serious."

Zhou Zhenhua was startled, but he didn't react for a moment.

Xiang Luo said: "If the latter is definitely not possible, we can't be so stupid as to make wedding dresses for others after being busy for half a year. But the former is not necessarily a good thing. If they invest, it is equivalent to paying dividends. But we just need to solve it." If you don’t mind the water problem, you can build your own venue, make your own fungus packs, grow your own mushrooms, and even make your own bricks, so what do you want them to do? Just for a share of the action?”

The village is under development.Whether or not additional funding will come, it's only a matter of time before they develop.

In fact, when other people in the village heard that the top sent businessmen, most of the people who heard the news were a little gloating.

Anyway, whoever opened the factory opened it, and Xiang Luo was a bit in the limelight, and it would not affect others if someone came to take his credit.As long as the money is earned and the mushrooms are raised, it doesn't matter who is in charge here.

At this time, if Xiang Luo objected, others would only think that this was touching his cake, and he became angry from embarrassment.

But Xiang Luo's words from the perspective of the villagers also awakened everyone. Is this really a good thing?

Maybe it's a good thing in the short term, but in the long run, it's a good thing for people in the neighborhood and even the whole county.But in the future, the interests of the villagers will definitely be weakened.

This is a good thing in the big picture.Just from a personal point of view, there must be some sacrifices.

Of course, the villagers still have the trump card of Xiang Luo's family duck.And it is impossible for the officials to make them lose money.It's just that you will earn less in the future.

Zhou Zhenhua was silent for a while, put away the smile on his face, and asked helplessly: "Then tell me, what should we do about this matter?"

"There is nothing to do. We cannot refute the decision made by the higher authorities." Xiang Luo paused and said, "But we can reduce their influence on us."

Zhou Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiang Luo: "You mean..."

Furthermore, they were also a little worried that Xiang Luo would control them too much.It's just the original sentence, rather than being dictated by a stranger from outside.It's not as good as Xiang Luo, who they are familiar with.

Xiang Luo said: "I just came back from outside, and I happened to have something to tell you..."

Xiang Luo briefly told them what happened in Jiupaozi Village.

"As long as there is enough water, we will start breeding at home on a certain scale. One bag of bacteria and three catties of water is equivalent to spending four bags of bacteria each time, and buying three bags of fungus for planting. The cost has increased , but at any rate there are benefits." Xiang Luo looked at the others after finishing speaking.

Others glanced at each other, and one person couldn't help asking: "Are you really not good at this matter?"

Xiang Luo said with a smile: "I'm not as good as plucking wild goose. Everyone knows how scarce the water is. What I want is their fish. It's a pity that I don't know if I can raise it. If I can raise it, I want to increase the sales of fish. When the time comes to sell fish to make some money, of course I want to make some money, so let’s forget about the water.”

Just now when a rich businessman came to the village, everyone still felt gloating.At this moment, seeing that Xiang Luo was really thinking about them, he even went to find Jiupaozi Village, which had caused a lot of trouble before, and negotiated the price.

Thanks to Xiang Luo for solving this problem.If the rich merchants come to solve the water source first, although the village will thank them, it must be admitted that they will be caught by the throat of the water source.

Xiang Luo largely avoided them.

Recently, because Xiang Luo was in the limelight, he just brought up some bad thoughts, but at this time, because of Xiang Luo's actions, it was swept away.

Some people may think that Xiang Luo must have reached some kind of agreement with Jiupaozi Village, and must have made money.But this result is absolutely good for the villagers.

And Xiang Luo said that in the future, people who are short of water in the village will spontaneously organize to exchange water with bacteria bags.If Xiang Luo doesn't get involved, there won't be any tricks in the follow-up.

Zhou Zhenhua thought things through before and after, facing Xiang Luo, with a smile on his face: "After all, you young people are still smart, or else when we react, maybe people have already settled in. In this world, if you want to It’s not easy to have a full meal.”

"It's not difficult to have a full meal, at least it's not difficult for us," Xiang Luo said, "so in my imagination, it's never limited to just a full meal. This time, it's not their water that I'm looking at, it's Fish. We have mushrooms and ducks. If we have fish, we will have all kinds of fish and meat. As long as we make more money, the whole village will be rich. I don’t want to eat alone. There will definitely be a large number of rich people in this world. Since anyone can do it, why can’t it be someone I know well? You’re right.”

Xiang Luo felt the change in their thoughts.So it is even more important to take this opportunity to sublimate your own image.

People's hearts are always cruel, so it takes time to be indestructible in this village.

Fortunately, Xiang Luo still has plenty of time and more energy to manage.

Zhou Zhenhua's throat moved, and he patted Xiang Luo's back: "I knew you were a good boy."

The people around also praised Xiang Luo's flamboyance, but in fact, it was the words that Xiang Luo had heard too much.

These words are not lies, Xiang Luo listened to them a lot, and after a little politeness with them, he went back first.

Having said that, let them discuss the rest by themselves.

When Xiang Luo has that time, he might as well think about how to eat fish to get back the gold ingot, and he doesn't know if Zhu Yan is feeling better now.

Back home, Zhu Yan was still sleeping, so Xiang Luo and An Wei discussed how to eat one of the fish.The difficulty of fish soup is not very high, as long as the fishy smell is properly removed, it is good to add a little chili.They have also done stewed fish, but no one knows this sweet and sour fish.Although the recipe says how to do it.But they have never practiced it, these are all theoretical knowledge.

When Zhu Yan woke up in the afternoon, he was still sleepy and his head hurt a little. Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiang Luo had already picked a big live fish, killed it and packed it up.

Live fish is very fishy, ​​but cooked fish is fragrant.

Xiang Luo looked up and saw that his complexion was still not very good: "Why don't you go back and lie down for a while."

Motion sickness is very uncomfortable if you really faint.Xiang Luo also suffered from motion sickness.

Zhu Yan shook his head and yawned: "I'll make fish soup. Cut the fish head and marinate first."

The more you get, the more your head will hurt. Find something to do to be sober and refreshed, and you will feel better.

Then Anwei will cook fish stew, and Xiang Luo will challenge sweet and sour fish.

If it can be done well, Zhu Yan can eat two more bites of sweet and sour.

Xiang Luo regretted taking him out today, the motion sickness was really uncomfortable.

Heat the oil in the pot, and the three of them divide the work to cook.The weather is hot, Xiang Luo freezes a basin of ice and puts it in the dish rack. Usually, the dish rack is turned on, and the air-conditioning comes out to cool down in the kitchen.If someone comes, close the dish rack and no one will see it.

Although everyone in the village knows that there is electricity at home, everyone else is facing the problem of heatstroke at any time. Only Xiang Luo's family not only uses electric fans, but also spends extravagantly using the space of the freezer to freeze large ice cubes to cool down.

Do you want to be so extravagant!

This kind of thing is hated by people who watch it too much, so if you can enjoy it behind closed doors, don't be seen by outsiders.

In the evening, I cooked white rice, and made fried bamboo shoots with diced pickles, spicy fried rice cake slices, served with one fish and three meals, which was very tasty.

There is only one fish, and the other two dishes are not too much, try to eat as much as possible in one meal.

Xiang Luo poured Zhu Yan a bowl of soup, and touched his forehead to feel relieved that he didn't have a fever.

The smell of fish on the dinner table spread throughout the room. At such a time, outsiders would never be allowed in.

This time I made live fish. The taste of live fish is different from that of dead fish. People who often eat fish can tell that it is incomparable to frozen fish.

The sweet and sour fish that Xiang Luo tried to make didn't look very good.Before serving, Xiang Luo took a sip carefully, and the taste was not bad.Taking care of Zhu Yan's discomfort today, I put it in front of him specially.

Zhu Yan took a sip and nodded. Even if there were only three people, the meal was quite lively.

The fish soup is slightly spicy, and the sweet and sour fish is sweet and sour.The stewed fish has a lot of seasonings and tastes the most delicious.The side dishes are mainly refreshing and greasy.

Eat two bites of meat and drink a mouthful of soup to let the tip of the tongue open the taste buds under the stimulation of spicy taste. It has been a long time since I have had such a good meal recently.

Feeling the taste of the fish, Anwei couldn't help saying: "I'm already thinking about what to do with the other fish. I'm sorry."

Zhu Yan said with a smile: "Of course it won't live long. Our next goal is to eat this kind of food anytime we want."

"There will be that day." Xiang Luo said.

None of the three had drunk, but the meal was more enjoyable than drinking.

The author has something to say: I want to eat fish
