"What do you want to eat today?" The little doll, who was not as tall as an adult, was holding the edge of the table, his legs were hanging in the air, his mouth was slightly open, and he swallowed a little. He asked in a childish voice: " Is there any meat?"

The adult came out of the kitchen, with dishes in his hand, he said with a smile: "There is meat, and rice soup."

The little doll exclaimed excitedly: "There is fleshy fleshy fleshy fleshy flesh!"

"You can't eat until mom comes back." The man put the dishes on the table, so there is no need to worry about the food getting cold too fast in this weather.

He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room. Sure enough, when the hour and minute hands overlapped and all pointed to twelve o'clock, there was a knock on the door.

The man quickly opened the door, and he asked strangely, "Did you bring the key?"

The woman at the door smiled at him with big and small bags in her hand: "Didn't my parents rush to buy them? They gave them to me."

Their children are too young, women have to work, and men take care of their children while doing odd jobs, so there is no time to snap up shopping.

The parents on both sides are not very old, and they are still in good health, so they volunteered to buy them, and now there is no corn tortilla in the family.

But instead, rice buckets are filled with plump grains of rice, bacon sausages are placed in boxes, and vegetables and fruits are placed on shelves.

Seasonings and various spices also filled the cupboards.

The old people in the family always like to say that such days seem to be back before the zombies appeared.

The woman didn't know what the world was like before the zombie outbreak, but these days were indeed the best days she had ever lived since she was a child. Although she was tired from work, she had delicious meals when she returned home.

Although children are naughty occasionally, they are obedient most of the time.

Although her husband's cooking is not delicious, it is not so bad that she needs to go back to work.

What's more, what more can you ask for when you go home with a mouthful of hot food?Before, the whole family sat around eating tortillas.

"What's for lunch today?" The woman handed the bag to her husband, picked up the child who was rushing towards her, and kissed the child's forehead with a smile.

The child shouted: "Braised pork ribs! And potatoes!"

The woman looked at her husband: "Did you go to the supermarket this morning?"

The husband touched the back of his head: "I went to the queue last night."

It's too late to go this morning, maybe it will be evening when I can buy something.

Although the supermarket has been open for a month, many people are not queuing up to buy 24 hours a day like before, but there are still more people going there during the day than at night.

Woman: "Don't go at night, it's too dark and there are no street lights nearby."

"No matter how good the law and order is, you still have to be careful."

Man: "I got it, I got it, let's eat first."

The base does not have electricity most of the time, except for Chinese New Year holidays, when only the factory has electricity.

Therefore, fresh meat cannot be stored in this weather. If it was bought overnight yesterday, it will stink today.

So you have to go to the supermarket to buy it on the same day.

"There are still drinks in it." The man lifted the bag and found a large bottle of orange juice inside.

The woman smiled and said, "Isn't this because my dad knows you like to drink?"

The man's eyes were slightly red. He blinked and said, "Eat and eat. I'll go see if I can find a job in the afternoon."

The woman waved her hand: "There's no rush. It's hard to find a job now. If you can't find it, you can stay at home and look after the children. Now that there is a supermarket, my income alone is enough to support my family."

Now the factory still uses corn tortillas to settle wages for them. Although the exchange price of tortillas in the supermarket has dropped—from 38 yuan to [-] yuan, compared with the two yuan [-] yuan for rice, rice is worthless.

Not to mention raising her own small family, she can even raise her parents together.

The man whispered: "Then you still have to be careful, what if the supermarket is closed one day? You have to earn more cornbread while the supermarket is still open, and exchange for more food."

"That's right." The man said when he took the bowl, "I saw someone take the corn flour sold in the supermarket to make cakes and go to the supermarket to exchange."

The woman stopped washing her hands and asked curiously, "Did he change it?"

The man nodded: "But listen to him, the exchange price is different from the exchange price of the base tortilla."

"The tortilla he made can only be exchanged for nineteen, which is only half of the base tortilla."

The woman was a little confused: "Then did he succeed in taking advantage of this loophole or not? I remember that cornmeal in the supermarket is quite expensive."

Man: "It's considered a success. After excluding the cost, he can earn more than half of a tortilla."

"Then you can do it too." The woman said, "Since the supermarket didn't say no and accepted his, then we can definitely do it too."

"Anyway, you earn money to go to the supermarket to change houses. Isn't it good to make tacos?"

The more the woman thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea and a good business: "Before other people realize it, and there are not many people doing it, you can earn more."

"Think about it, the tortillas at the base were worth 38 yuan before, but now they are only worth [-] yuan. After that, there will be more people making tortillas to earn the difference. Maybe it will drop from [-] yuan to [-] yuan, and the profit margin will be even lower then."

Woman: "Although you can only earn a quick sum of money, it's hard to find part-time jobs now, and you have children at home, so you can't go out to work part-time."

"No matter how I think about it, I feel that this business can be done."

"Then I'll give it a try. I'll go to the queue in the afternoon and buy more cornmeal." The man also showed a smile on his face.

In the past, the child was young and couldn't do without people. He didn't feel anything when he stayed at home.

But now that the child is older, there are fewer places where adults are needed, and more than half of the day is spent sleeping.

Now children don’t need to be around all the time, not to mention that no one knows when the supermarket will be open. If you don’t stock up now, when the supermarket closes, there will be nowhere to cry.

This one is not the only one who is going to buy tacos to earn the difference.

For Luoyang Base, which lacks jobs, no one wants to miss such an opportunity to earn a difference.

"General, do you really think this thing is useful?" The soldier squatted in front of the tempered glass cover, staring straight at the covered photon cannon.

The photon cannon doesn't look good—it's not big enough. Although it looks gaudy, people always feel that the more gaudy something is, the more useless it is. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something worth 500 million yuan.

The soldier whispered, "Will that supermarket boss trick us? This thing is just like a toy."

The photon cannon has not been tried so far - it does not require ammunition, it only needs sunlight to recharge, and it takes a month to recharge, but it can only be used once, and it must be recharged after use.

Its energy is not yet full, because it needs sunlight and is worried about being stolen, so it can only be covered with tempered glass.

Although the anti-theft ability of tempered glass is just that, it is better than nothing. Usually, four soldiers are required to guard it in shifts.

Yang Guoqin was smoking. Ever since he was able to buy cigarettes, he seemed to want to smoke all the cigarettes he had seldom smoked before. The smoke around him was always lingering, and many people walked around when they saw him.

"I'm just taking a gamble." Yang Guoqin sighed, "It really doesn't work, let's see if I can get a refund."

The soldier was stunned: "Can you retreat?"

Yang Guoqin: "It's not a bank. If you don't leave the cabinet, you won't speak responsibly."

"What's more, those guns." Yang Guoqin said in a low voice, "They are all old models that have been backlogged before. They can't be used in the battlefield, so they still need new ones."

The soldier frowned: "How could it not be used?! How short of ammunition we are!"

Yang Guoqin: "How long can a gun be in service? What we lack are bullets and medicines, not guns."

The gun can be used for a long time, and it can be repaired if something goes wrong, but the ammunition is consumable, and it is gone after one use.

Therefore, each base has a backlog of guns, but no backlog of bullets and medicines.

"I still think it's a little unreliable." The soldier hesitated, "No matter how you say it, those guns are useful. If this thing is useless, we will be too bad."

Yang Guoqin: "The supermarket can't run away again."

Soldier: "It's easy to say, that supermarket appears so strange, there must be someone behind it, maybe it's someone from the future, they press a button, and the supermarket is ejected like a spaceship, what can we do with him?"

Yang Guoqin smiled: "The people of the future will be even better. Think about it this way. If they are the people of the future and use photon cannons to fool us, why don't they want precious metals and want those guns that are considered old models here? They are deceitful Are you cheating on yourself?"

The soldier thought about it, and it seemed to be the same reason, but he still sighed: "I always feel uneasy."

Yang Guoqin ignored him, and said to himself, "I don't know when the next wave of corpses will come."

He wanted to see the power of the photon cannon, but he was afraid that the tide of corpses would come too fast before the photon cannon finished charging.

"However, this period of time in the base is really like Chinese New Year!" The soldier became excited, "Every household can eat white rice and meat, and the food in the cafeteria has also improved recently. I even ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes at noon today. I haven't eaten eggs for many years."

Although the farm is still raising chickens, it mainly raises cockerels, which can be slaughtered and eaten at that time.

There are not many hens themselves, and even fewer eggs are produced. Unfertilized eggs are generally used as benefits for farm employees.

Farm jobs are hard to find, and countless people have sharpened their heads to get in, just for eggs.

It's okay to work for nothing.

Yang Guoqin thought for a while, and asked the soldier seriously: "Tell me, can we cooperate with the supermarket?"

The soldier was a little at a loss: "What is the cooperation? Raising chickens?"

Yang Guoqin nodded: "We don't have anything in Luoyang. All the supplies depend on the rear distribution. We can't always rely on the supermarket. If the supermarket is gone someday, we have to continue to live. It's not safe to buy, we still have to have it ourselves. .”

"We can't produce ammunition, right? Headquarters?"

"It's not that there is no space behind the foundation."

"Those with high output can be raised quickly, chickens and ducks can be used, but pigs are slow to be raised, so you can raise less."

Yang Guoqin felt that his idea was good: "Even if they leave by then, the base will still have enough jobs and output."

"At least I don't have to go back to the old days of eating corn tortillas."

"I've had enough of that!"

"No matter what the rear will say when they find out, at least when I am in office, I have the responsibility to let the people in the base live a good life."

"Go talk to the supermarket owner."
