Chapter 644 How about setting up a stall
Something was suddenly stuffed into his hand. Lao Zhao squeezed it, and when he took out two packs of cigarettes, he could hardly hide the expression of surprise on his face.
Before the apocalypse, he was a heavy smoker, and he basically smoked cigars, but now, a pack of cigarettes that cost a few dollars can make him excited for several days.
But he quickly calmed down, took the other person's cigarette, and had to answer the other person's question: "What kind of house do you want?"
“It would be best to have a whole set or a separate yard.”
The two of them have many secrets. Although no one else can see them if the door is closed, it is still better not to live together with others.
"Yes, there are, but do you mind if someone died there?"
Next to Lao Zhao's house is a 4-story building. Not long after the Eternal Night arrived, thugs were rampant.
The building next to them originally housed a large family of more than 20 people. As a result, not only were all the supplies moved away, but all the people were also slaughtered overnight.
Old Zhao still remembers how his family hugged each other tightly when they heard the noise outside that night. He still remembers the shrill screams.
A message was then sent to the authorities, but by the time everyone arrived, everyone in the neighboring family had already died.
I heard that five or six households in the New City District were attacked by thugs that night. Most of them were people who were not careful enough in their daily lives and let others know that they had a lot of supplies at home.
"Dead? No problem. Is it the whole building or just one floor?"
Where are the dead in the end times?
If you really mind, don't go anywhere.
"The first three floors have been rented out, and only the last floor is left."
The area where Lao Zhao and his family live is in Zone E, the outermost area of the new city district. Originally, not many people were willing to live here, but the government set up the market here anyway.
Therefore, Area E, which originally no one wanted to live in, has become a popular place.
Han Ying asked, "Who should I ask to handle this procedure?"
"Just find my son. My name is Zhao Guang, and everyone calls me Lao Zhao. To be honest, my son rented the entire building after the accident. We are the second landlord, but you still need to provide your identity information if you want to move in. That's the rule."
Old Zhao smiled embarrassedly. He was originally very dissatisfied with his son renting that building, thinking it was a waste of points. He didn't expect that it was almost rented out in a short time.
In this way, they can earn a lot of points every month by relying on the building and buy a lot of things.
"Okay, what about the car? Is there any other place to put it besides here?"
As Lu Yuan spoke, he glanced into the garage.
They were lucky enough that they could find a place to stay just by parking their car.
"There is a yard in front of the building, which is shared by the whole building, but the fence is not high. If you want to park, you just need to pay 50 more points every month."
"If you think it's okay, come find me here when your shift changes in two hours. I'll take you there to have a look. It's not far from here, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. After you've seen it and you're satisfied, we can talk about the rent."
Old Zhao squeezed the two packs of cigarettes in his hand again. He wondered if the two men rented that floor, should he return the cigarettes to them?
I always feel a little reluctant.
After thinking about it, he gave up the idea of returning the cigarettes. People gave them to him so that he could find a place to live.
He solved it, and he didn't fight with the cigarette.
And whoever sees it gets a share. He is not the only one here, so he has to share it with his companions who are guarding the garage.
"Okay, we'll come find you in two hours."
If you have two hours, you can go to the market in front first.
What I said earlier about renting a stall in the market to sell things was just an excuse, but now that I think about it, it seems to be a good choice.
The market is full of all kinds of people, and there seems to be no better place to get information than here.
The market was only a short distance away from the parking lot, so after leaving the garage, the two men headed straight there with flashlights.
As they walked, Lu Yuan told Han Ying his idea. Han Ying also felt that setting up a stall here was indeed a good way to get information.
There were three men guarding the entrance to the market, two of them holding guns.
The other one wore a red armband on his arm.
After the two walked over, they were stopped by the man with the red armband. He took a look at the backpacks on their backs and asked, "Are you buying or selling?"
Lu Yuan turned off the flashlight, took a look inside the market, and then said, "Is there any difference?"
"If you want to buy, just go in directly. If you want to sell, you have to pay a booth fee of 10 points a day!"
The man with the red armband took another look at the backpacks on the two people in front of him. The backpacks were so big and it didn’t look like they were empty.
In the past, many people, in order to save the 10 points for the stall fee, would bring their products to the market and act as mobile vendors, selling wherever they went.
Their sign is the same as the two people in front of us, carrying a big bag on their back and pretending to be here to buy things.
"This is our first time at the market today. We want to go in and get to know each other better. We might rent a stall tomorrow, but forget about it today."
Han Ying saw that the man with the red armband didn't seem to believe them, so she explained it anyway.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now, but if you get caught by our people, you'll be fined 100 points, which won't be worth it. You should think about it yourself."
The man with the red armband said that he believed what the two men said, but he still warned them.
After the warning, they were allowed to pass. However, after they entered, they took out the walkie-talkie and told their companions to keep a close eye on the two people with large backpacks who had just entered.
When we entered the market, we heard a lot of noise.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan looked at each other. If they had not been questioned at the door just now, they would have thought they had come to a small commodity market before the end of the world.
The man with the red armband just now said that each stall was worth 10 points, and they both thought that it was just like the market in Jiangcheng before, where any piece of cloth placed on the ground could be considered a stall.
But I didn’t expect that the stalls here were similar to those in the vegetable market before the end of the world.
Of course, the stalls here are much smaller than those in the vegetable market.
The stall is made of bricks and stones and is one meter high, one meter wide and three meters long.
Of course, 10 points can only be used to rent a stall that is one meter wide, which means that a stall that is three meters long needs to be rented to three people.
Of course, if you have a lot of stuff and your business is good, you can also rent the entire 3-meter-long stall.
As she walked along, Han Ying saw several people occupying an entire 3-meter-long stall.
Sichuan Province did not seem to be affected by the tsunami, so more things have been preserved here than in other cities affected by the tsunami.
A variety of clothes, shoes, socks, quilts, small appliances, toilet paper, farm tools, kitchen knives, scissors, etc.
The two even saw someone selling food.
Frozen dumplings, wontons, buns, steamed buns, etc.
People visiting the market did not rush to grab things from the food stalls, which shows that Sichuan Province is not short of food, otherwise people would not be like this when seeing food in the market.
While walking around, the two of them were thinking about what kind of stall to set up.
They set up stalls here not to earn points, but to find out news about the new world.
Most of those who know the news about the new world are those who still have money and power after the end of the world.
So you have to think carefully about what to sell.
