Living like a salted fish in the end times

Chapter 111
After buying Spring Festival couplets, Li Dajuan wanted to buy some fresh fruit to take home, but after looking around, she couldn't find anything for sale, so she had to give up.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, shopping was finally over.

Everyone is carrying big bags and small bags in their hands, even the twins' schoolbags are filled with all kinds of toys.

The two little guys are also the happiest.

For Li Dajuan and others, this trip was not in vain, but the harvest was limited. Most of the New Year's goods were clothes and daily necessities, and there was very little food and drink.

The main thing is that there are no shortage of these things at home.

What is really missing cannot be bought.

Village head Fan is in the same situation. There is no sign of the generator, but he bought a lot of cigarettes and alcohol.

"Uncle Fan, what's the price of cigarettes?"

Zhang Hao asked casually.

"One word is expensive, it's too expensive. The price of a good guy has skyrocketed by more than 50 times. After the New Year, I quit smoking. I really can't afford it."

Fan Cun's face was full of pain.

Zhang Hao joked with a smile: "Why are you saving so much? Are you always short of money?"

"It's not that I want to save money, it's just not worth it. Think about it, a pack of cigarettes costs more than 1000 yuan. Isn't this stealing money?"

"Actually, it's good to quit. When this batch of cigarettes is exhausted, I won't be able to buy them if I want to smoke them in the future."

Zhang Hao quickly comforted him.

In his dream, around the end of next year, in order to deal with the food crisis, the federal government will successively issue smoking bans and alcohol bans.

Brewing requires grain.

Tobacco growing also takes up valuable resources.

Village head Fan shook his head, and then expressed emotion: "Old Zhang, you are right. The catastrophe broke out less than half a year ago, and the prices are so exaggerated to such an astonishing extent. The days ahead will be difficult."

To be honest, he was a little intimidated.

Compassionately, the economic conditions of their family can obviously feel the pressure of survival, let alone other ordinary families.

"Uncle Fan, everyone is still panicking now. This is an abnormal state. After a while, everyone gets used to it, and it will definitely return to normal."

Zhang Hao comforted him with a smile.

But having said that, even if the price returns to "normal", the price will be several times that of before, and some goods that are in short supply will even appear tens or hundreds of times.

"I hope so!"

Zhang Hao smiled, and then talked about the whale meat: "Uncle Fan, I have good news for you."

"What good news?"

"Just now at Taikoo Hui, I bought tons of whale meat in one go. When I get back to the village, please help me and ask everyone if there is anything you want to buy?"

"Hey, whale meat? What's the price?"

"The original price was 1000 yuan per catty."

Village head Fan touched his chin: "The price is not expensive. I also bought some seafood. The cheapest ones cost two to three thousand a catty, which is outrageous."

"I can't help it. Whale meat has a strong smell and is not tasty. We are not used to eating it here. If it is brought to Nissan, it may be sold at a good price."

"It's better to have than nothing. If there are any leftovers, the cafeteria will cover them all. Make them into salted fish and eat them slowly."

"Okay, I guess there aren't many left."

Zhang Hao nodded.

There are thousands of households in the entire Shawei Village, and each family can buy them all for a few dozen catties.

Moreover, whales are also protected animals. Most people in the local area have never eaten whale meat. If they have the opportunity to try it, they will certainly not miss this opportunity.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to Shawei Village.

Zhang Hao didn't go home directly, but turned around and went to the village. According to the time calculation, the whale meat should have arrived, and he needed to go there to deal with it.

Sure enough, a large group of people surrounded the village department.

"Old Zhang, you are back, did you buy the whale meat on the car?"

Immediately, a villager asked.

"I bought it. It won't be Chinese New Year soon. There are fish every year!"

Zhang Hao greeted everyone, and then stepped forward to hand over to Boss Sun's people. The other party dispatched a total of nine trucks, which looked very spectacular.

"Boss Zhang, it's getting late, shall we start weighing?"

"No need, I can trust your elder brother." Zhang Hao shook his head, "Bring me the form, and I will sign it now. As for the payment, according to the agreement, it will be transferred to your company's account tomorrow morning, please pay attention to check it."

"Okay, I know."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

If it is re-weighed, it will be delayed for at least three or four hours, and it is freezing outside, which is really a pain.

"You're welcome, tell your brother a word for me, just say see you in three days."

"I promise to bring it."

After the handover, with the help of the onlookers, all the whale meat was unloaded directly at the gate of the village in less than half an hour, forming a small mountain of meat.

After seeing off Boss Sun, Zhang Hao went straight to the point and said to all the villagers:

"Everyone, be quiet. Listen to me. I bought these whale meats. I can't finish them. If you want to buy them, you can register with Village Chief Fan. The purchase limit is 1000 catties per household. The original price is 900 yuan per catty. I will give everyone a % discount, which is yuan."

The purchase restriction is a suggestion put forward by Village Chief Fan, mainly to prevent people from being second-hand dealers.

"Old Zhang, isn't this a disadvantage for you?"

"Haha, if you lose a little, you also know that I am not short of this money, so don't be polite to me."

"Old Zhang, you are really interesting."

"Boss Zhang, we will elect you as the village head next time."

Someone yelled.

Zhang Hao quickly waved his hand: "Don't, don't, I still have my own business, how can I have time to be the village head? Besides, Uncle Fan has done a good job, so don't make things difficult for me."

"Okay, when Lao Zhang retires, you will elect him as the village head." Village head Fan echoed with a smile.

To be honest, he really wasn't worried that the other party would take over the position of village chief. As Lao Zhang himself said, the big boss was thousands of dollars a minute, so how could he have time to spend time with the villagers' parents?

"Boss Zhang, is whale meat delicious?"

The questioner was a middle-aged woman.

"The taste is okay! It's almost like chicken."

Zhang Hao recalled.

As an extreme sports enthusiast, he has tasted whale meat. In fact, apart from Nissan, there are certain areas in the entire federation where whaling is allowed.

Among them is the other side of the ocean.

Just not as unscrupulous as the Nisang people.

"Can we buy more whale meat?"

Village head Fan immediately interjected: "No, fifty catties is not enough to eat, is it? To tell you the truth, the rest of the whale meat will be sent to the cafeteria and kept as food reserves.

Also, don't let me find out who sold meat to people in other villages privately, and was fined yuan once caught, keep it in mind, don't take it seriously. "

"Village chief, can you send relatives off?"

"Forget it, anyway, I've already persuaded you, it's up to you whether you listen or not, just don't regret it."

Village Chief Fan sighed.

The ban is definitely unstoppable, there are too many loopholes.

Then someone asked:
"Captain Zhang, can you buy it if you're not from the village?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "Yes, as long as they live in our Shawei Village, they are eligible to purchase."

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
