Chapter 44 I am from the grain station
Yang Qing turned to look at Leng Yi. He was tall and handsome. In his light grey down jacket, he looked even more handsome than the model on the poster next to him.
"How is it?" Leng Yi asked.
"It looks good. I want this one." Yang Qing nodded.
Leng Yi's mouth curled up, "Okay!"
He picked up a women's down jacket of the same color and asked, "Would you like to try it too?"
"Okay!" Yang Qing took the down jacket and put it on. After putting it on, he found that it was too hot. How could he bear it?
Looking at him again, he saw that he hadn't taken off his clothes and was looking at himself calmly, without even a drop of sweat.
"Aren't you hot?" Yang Qing asked.
"Not bad!" Leng Yi said, taking off his down jacket.
Then he looked at Yang Qing, "This one looks good on you!"
"But I like white!" Yang Qing said, although white is easy to get dirty and not very beautiful.
Yang Qing took off her gray down jacket and changed into a white one, adding a white woolen hat. She looked at Leng Yi and asked, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" A gleam of light flashed in Leng Yi's eyes. White is indeed better looking.
"It's so hot." Yang Qing quickly took off her clothes. "This is it. I also need to buy one for Lu Lin. She'll have to buy the same one as mine."
Leng Yi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Shengnan asked Wang Min and Jiang Hao, and they said they liked black, so she picked out two black pieces for them according to their body shapes.
Yang Qing saw that there were some heat-generating vests nearby, so he picked one for everyone.
Then they bought cotton pants and snow boots, and everyone looked at them like monsters.
Yang Qing didn't care about that. She picked out a few more scarves and went to the checkout counter to pay.
They spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and the cashier looked at them like fools. Others bought food, but they bought clothes, winter clothes at that. Is there something wrong with their brains?
It was too difficult to carry so many clothes, so Yang Qing bought some vacuum bags for clothes, put the clothes in and vacuumed them, and then a big bag could hold them.
Seeing several boxes of charcoal in the department store, which were originally sold with barbecue grills, Yang Qing bought them all. He also bought two barbecue grills and some bamboo sticks so that he could have a barbecue when he had time.
After buying, I was about to go find Wang Min and the others, but they came over empty-handed.
"Didn't you buy any food?" Yang Qing asked.
"Gone!" Wang Min spread her hands. "The daily supply is limited, and they're all sold out before our turn."
No one expected that even if you have money, you can’t buy food.
"What should we do now?" Li Shengnan asked.
"Let's go back first." Yang Qing was also helpless.
When they arrived at the community, several people carried their things upstairs. Yang Qing and Leng Yi towed the assault boat behind them while discussing where to get food.
The door of 601 suddenly opened and Teacher Zhang walked out.
"Ms. Yang, do you want to buy food?" Teacher Zhang lowered his voice.
"Why, you have it?" Yang Qing was surprised.
"Come in and talk!" Teacher Zhang waved at her.
Leng Yi asked Gao Yang to come down and drag the assault boat up, and then walked into 601 with Yang Qing.
Zhang Nian and Lin Xueting were playing with their children. They stood up when they saw them come in.
"Xueting, take the children into the room to play. I have something to talk to them about." Teacher Zhang said to Lin Xueting.
Lin Xueting glanced at the two of them, nodded, and took the child's hand into the room.
"How is she now?" Yang Qing pouted in Lin Xueting's direction.
"He's almost normal, except that he doesn't like to talk." Zhang Nian smiled.
"That's good." Yang Qing nodded. "Teacher Zhang, do you have any channels to buy food?"
Teacher Zhang looked at his son, and Zhang Nian said, "To be honest, I used to work at the grain station. People these days might not know this and think the grain station is long gone, but it's actually always been there. It's just that nowadays everyone buys food online or in supermarkets and ignores the grain station as an institution."
"Before the end of the world, we had a lot of grain stored in our grain station. Later, it was flooded by the flood, and I managed to snatch out a lot of it." Zhang Nian's face blushed when he said this. He took all the grain home.
Yang Qing immediately understood. No wonder they dared to accept Lin Xueting at this time. It turned out that they had food at home.
Maybe he said that on purpose because he didn't want to be exposed when he exchanged the rabbit for medicine.
Yang Qing didn't care. She still had so much food in her own space. Who doesn't have a secret?
"Later, when the end of the world came, the world was in chaos. When I went there again, the food had been salvaged and controlled by those people. However, there is someone I know. If you want me to introduce you to someone," said Zhang Nian.
"Has it been soaked in water? Is the rice edible?" Leng Yi asked.
"There should be no problem. I asked about it, and it just tastes a little worse than good rice. In fact, the government rice is the same. If there was a problem, someone would have exposed it long ago," said Zhang Nian.
Yang Qing nodded. She noticed that the rice bought by the people in front of her today was indeed different from usual.
It's very yellow and broken. It must have been soaked in water and then dried, so it's broken into pieces.
"What's the price?" Yang Qing asked.
"Two thousand yuan per catty, half the price of new rice," said Zhang Nian.
"Isn't the new rice three thousand?" Yang Qing was surprised.
"Today's number is already 4,000," said Zhang Nian.
Yang Qing nodded. He didn’t buy rice today so he didn’t know the price. He didn’t expect the price to go up again.
However, if you can eat it, it doesn't matter if you buy some broken rice. After all, the price difference is double, and the same price can last longer.
"Is that person reliable?" Yang Qing asked.
"This person used to work at our grain station, but it seems there's a big boss behind her whom I've never met," said Zhang Nian.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other and thought that this was a bit unreliable. What if they were cheated during the transaction?
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
"Can we ask them to send the rice over?" Yang Qing asked.
"This..." Zhang Nian hesitated. He couldn't make the decision.
Yang Qing and his team are afraid of being robbed, and the other party is afraid too, because this is Yang Qing and his team's territory.
"How about this, you do the deal for us. They give you the grain, you give us the grain, and we give you the money. Do you think it's okay?" Yang Qing said.
"I'll give you two kilograms of grain as compensation for each transaction, but of course I'll only give you two kilograms of grain each time."
It is impossible to buy five or ten kilograms and then give two kilograms. That would be a big loss.
Zhang Nian was a little tempted. Although he had stockpiled some food, it was limited after all and would be gone after a long time. This was a way to make money, so why not?
"Okay, I'll go talk to them and wait for my news." Zhang Nian said.
"If you want to go, I can lend you an inflatable boat." Yang Qing said. They don't lack one now. They just added three boats yesterday and they are all idle.
"Thank you so much!" Zhang Nian was very excited. With the rubber boat, he could do a lot of things.
"But we are just lending it to you temporarily. We will ask for it back when we need to use it or when we leave. It is not a gift for you." Yang Qing added.
"I understand!" Zhang Nian nodded.
Yang Qing said something in Leng Yi's ear, and he went upstairs and dragged down a repaired rubber boat.
Yang Qing placed the rubber boat in front of Zhang Nian and said, "To be honest with you, it's been repaired, but it's fine to use."
"If you go out, you still have to be careful. Rubber boats are scarce now, and someone might snatch them. Don't lose your life because of this." Yang Qing reminded.
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Zhang Nian nodded.
