When I got home in the evening, my uncle, aunt, grandmother and Grandma Liu also heard about the murders in the three buildings in the community.
"It's so scary. A little girl was forced to kill someone with a knife. What kind of nonsense is this?" Grandma shook her head and sighed.
"The current unemployment rate is high and prices are expensive. No one can predict the future situation." Grandma Liu also sighed.
"In this case, we have to hide our supplies well in the future and not tell others that we have so many supplies." The aunt said nervously. With the Xia family's stockpiled goods and the fresh vegetables in the yard, who wouldn't be jealous?
Hearing this, my uncle scratched his head and said, "There shouldn't be any problem in our villa area. I see that the rich people living around here have everything they need. Every day there are trucks delivering supplies quietly coming over to deliver things."
Upon hearing this, my aunt rolled her eyes at my uncle and said, "Are you stupid? They are different from us. They have bodyguards at home!"
After hearing this, my uncle laughed, patted his chest and said, "I will be our family's bodyguard from now on. From today on, I will sleep in the living room on the first floor. Let's see who dares to come in!"
The whole family was amused. Grandma said, "Stop being a bodyguard. Come and help me serve the roasted pig. One day I saw half a pig in the refrigerator, so I roasted it. Although the pig is small, the meat is really good. The whole house is filled with fragrance when it is roasted."
Xia Shige perked up when he heard that: "I'll do it, I'll do it. I took this out of the freezer yesterday, but I didn't expect to eat it this evening!"
The pork is roasted till golden brown with little fat. It has a rich protein aroma and has no fishy smell like other pork.
Xia Shige cut a piece of tender meat and fed it to the white cat, which looked very satisfied after eating it.
The Xia family devoured the pig with relish and praised it highly. Xia Shige even regretted selling the other three pigs.
After the meal, Xia Shige looked at his phone and saw that all three pieces of pork had been photographed and all the pork offal had been sold out.
In addition, dozens of fish and a lot of agricultural products were sold in this half day. Xia Shige packed them diligently and prepared to send them all out early tomorrow morning.

Early on the third day, Jingjing Chao's supplies arrived.
The shipment included food from various food factory warehouses, as well as national reserves of grain and meat.
The owners were all excited when they heard the news. Those who had previously hesitated whether to stock up now had no hesitation at all. After this period of confusion, they finally realized the current situation: stock up! You must stock up!
Just as people were preparing to save money and stock up, new shopping rules came down.
Currently, the country uniformly manages factory inventory, and the goods shipped to each community are distributed in a fixed quantity according to the number of people in the community.
Residents need to show their ID cards to buy goods, and each person can only buy a certain amount and quantity of goods per week, and the specific amount is adjusted according to the type of goods. For example, if you buy rice, flour, oil, noodles and other foods, each person can buy a maximum of 8 kilograms per week.
As for prices, most commodities have temporarily stabilized at about ten times the price before the disaster, and rice and flour have probably increased by two times.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked again:
"4-2009 Sister Ni: Why is the quantity limited? Didn't they say that the reserve quantity is sufficient?"
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: I guess it's for long-term consideration. Who knows when this horrible weather will end? The fields have been barren for several years. Besides, if we don't waste it, this amount is actually enough for us to eat."
"2-1408 Gao Meili: Oh, never mind, let's buy it first. I'm out of rice at home. I cooked yesterday with milk and rice from the neighbor."
“4-1209正㱗摸鱼: Yes, yes, there is meat reserve. That’s great. I almost forgot what meat tastes like. I will use all my credit limit to buy meat!”
“4-2009 Sister Ni: The quota is too little for buying meat. I’d better use all the quota to buy rice. I won’t starve to death if I have rice.”
“5-1107 Wei Lan: I can’t use all my credit to buy rice. I have to buy some canned food to go with my meals. My family all eat a lot, so I guess this credit is just enough to feed them. Fortunately, my family still has some food in reserve, so don’t worry for now.”
"4-605 Warmth: Don't expose your supplies above! Have you forgotten about those burglaries in the past few days?"
"5-1107 Azure withdraws a message."
