Chapter 378: The Birth of an Ogre
This area has already been picked up by others, so the harvest is very limited.
While rummaging through the ruins, we found a lot of other things besides firewood.
Most of them are iron products.
The authorities have opened a purchasing station to purchase supplies found in the ruins.
Food, drinks and medicines are the most expensive, followed by daily necessities and metals.
No one would be stupid enough to sell food and drinks, so the most sold item is metal.
They were prying up the cement slabs and looking for wood, while not far away many people were knocking over bricks and steel bars.
Not everyone has the right tools, so some can only use heavy stones as tools to knock.
Those who don't know how to use the skillful force may feel pain in their arms from just one strike.
Not much was produced, but many people's hands were numb from the shock.
In more than half an hour, nine people, big and small, were able to collect a lot of firewood from the ruins.
Han Ying looked at the time and when it was almost time, she asked everyone to move the dry firewood and other things into the car.
The harvest from more than half an hour was enough for the nine of them to burn for several days.
Not to mention that a lot of metals and other materials were found.
After the things were moved, several people got into the car and headed towards the agreed place for slaughtering the cattle.
Beef is rare, and those who have a little money would like to buy a pound or half a pound to satisfy their hunger.
But what is more important is that they are reluctant to give up the food and water.
It takes 10 kilograms of rice or 15 kilograms of coarse grains to exchange for one kilogram of fresh beef.
If you save 10 kilograms of rice, how many days will it last?
If it’s beef, how many bites can one person eat?
Of course, everyone will bargain when buying.
But no matter what, if you want to buy a pound or half a pound, you have to bargain hard or the other party will simply not sell it to you.
Just like big customers like Han Ying, he would order 50 kilograms right away and would buy the whole thing right away.
Only then will you have the confidence to bargain with others.
When we arrived at the place, the RV was parked far away outside, and everyone walked in directly with their bags on their backs.
I knew there would be a lot of people here at night, but I didn't expect it to be this many.
A large group of people gathered together. If you didn't know, you would think that they were giving out free beef and everyone came to get it.
In fact, many people cannot afford it, but even though they can’t afford it they still want to come and see if there is really beef for sale.
There were so many people that I couldn’t even see the cows surrounded by the crowd.
Lei Minghu lifted Lei Yuhang up and let him sit on his neck.
"Dad, it's a cow, there really is a cow!"
Lei Yuhang raised his hand and pointed to the center of the area surrounded by the crowd, where a cow was lying on the ground, unknown whether it was dead or alive.
Hearing Lei Yuhang's words, Lin Yang on the side also tugged at Lin Ting's clothes, he also wanted to see.
"I, your mother, am not as tall as your uncle Lei. You won't be able to see even if I hold you up."
Lin Ting was not talking nonsense, Lei Minghu was about the same height as Lu Yuan, but Lei Minghu looked much stronger than Lu Yuan with his muscular body.
Lin Yang stuck out his tongue and looked at Lei Yuhang enviously.
"Come here, Xiao Yang. Uncle Qin will show you."
Qin Qinghai squatted down and patted his neck.
Qin Qinghai is also about 180cm tall, but he is rather thin.
"Thank you, Uncle Qin."
Lin Yang was so happy that he hugged Qin Qinghai's head tightly after sitting on it, "What a big bull, bigger than mine..."
Lin Yang originally wanted to say that the number of kills was even greater than the last time we did it, but then he thought of something and covered his mouth and dared not say anything more.
Lin Ting, who was standing next to her, quietly took a few steps towards Qin Qinghai.
They look like a family.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan behind her naturally also saw Lin Ting's little action, but it was none of their business, so they didn't say anything.
More and more people gathered. Han Ying and the others stood outside the crowd, with no intention of joining in.
"Everyone, please be quiet, please stand back a little and give us some space. We are about to start slaughtering the cattle..."
There were so many people that they blocked the area previously designated for slaughtering cattle.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties was standing on a table with a loudspeaker and shouting at the crowd.
"Those who have ordered beef before, please come over here with your order."
Seeing that everyone had stepped back a bit, the middle-aged man continued shouting.
The place was soon cleared, and several men came forward with tools and started slaughtering the cattle.
If you don't have experience, slaughtering cattle is actually a very dangerous thing.
But the cow was already dying, so it wouldn't be difficult to kill it.
Before the end of the world, in order to make more money, many cattle farmers would give their cattle water before slaughtering them.
After being slaughtered, the cow becomes water-injected beef, and each cow can be sold for a lot more money.
This is an act of massacre, extremely cruel.
But now, no one would slaughter the cattle in front of so many people, and water is too precious nowadays.
Han Ying gave Lu Yuan the order for 50 kilograms of beef and asked him to line up over there and choose the meat later.
The middle-aged man holding the loudspeaker looked through the pre-order forms one by one. He knew exactly how much each person bought.
"People who buy more will have priority. Sir, please choose the part of meat you want first."
After reading Lu Yuan's reservation order, the middle-aged man's face was full of smiles.
He also knew that the price of the 50 kilograms of meat he had reserved was a little cheaper than others, but people still bought more.
The other party also said that if the beef could not be sold out, they would buy it all.
Everyone stepped back, and Han Ying finally saw the scene inside clearly.
A tall and strong man, holding a long sharp knife in his hand, skillfully stabbed it directly into the cow's neck.
It was obvious that he had killed a cow before, and the place he cut was one that would allow the cow to die faster.
It is generally not necessary to bleed a cow when it is slaughtered.
The cow was already very weak, and it didn't even struggle when it was slaughtered, and died soon after.
Water is too precious nowadays, and it is not practical to boil water to remove hair from cows.
They didn't have anything else that could be used to remove the hair, so after slaughtering the cow, the hide was peeled off bit by bit by several people.
The whole cow was spread out on a piece of plastic film, looking bloody.
Han Ying was standing in the crowd, and she actually heard the sound of people swallowing saliva all around her.
Hearing these noises, Han Ying secretly said, "Oh no! It's over!"
She guessed that those people slaughtered the cattle on the spot for two reasons.
Firstly, the weather was too hot and the beef would go bad easily if not sold out immediately; secondly, they were afraid that people would worry that the meat they were selling was of 'unknown origin'.
The original intention was to reassure people who buy meat, letting them know that the meat is real beef, not human flesh.
But beef is so attractive that most people just come to watch the fun.
It is precisely because they cannot afford it that their greed is aroused.
If you can't afford beef, some people may think of eating other kinds of meat.
Therefore, the unintentional actions of these people selling beef may very likely lead to the birth of a group of ogres in Jiangcheng.
