People gathered in the official store and made a lot of noise.
"Now many privately-owned shops are closed, we can't buy food, and the official shops are limiting purchases, so how can we survive?"
"Not only are there no vegetables or seafood, but each person can only buy 10 potatoes at a time. If you want to buy more, you have to wait a week. There are six or seven people in my family. Tell me how I can survive for seven days?"
"We have all experienced the epidemic, and our bodies have suffered some damage. We need to replenish our nutrition, but you officials are so good that you don't provide us with help, and you don't even let us have enough food!"
Several shop assistants standing outside the door tried their best to calm everyone down.
"During this special period, I hope everyone can understand the difficulties of the security station. Although the official store has limited the purchase of food, locusts can be eaten."
"Locusts are nutritious and easy to prepare. Anyone who wants to try them can come and get a brochure on how to eat them..."
The clerk was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Who wants to eat those disgusting bugs?! What we want is food! Food that humans can eat!"
"Even if we can't have vegetables and seafood like before, it would be fine if we could sell more potatoes!"
A new round of quarrel began.
Jiang Fei drove past the official store and glanced at the large sign hanging on the wall.
The only products for sale at the moment are potatoes, special sweet potatoes, dried noodles, instant noodles, and compressed biscuits.
Potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, purchase limit is 10 of each type per person.
Noodles, instant noodles, and biscuits are limited to 3 packs.
Each person can only buy one type of food at a time.
All official stores of the security center have imposed purchase restrictions, and most privately-owned stores have closed.
The shops that were open also put a sign at the door that read "No gifts, barter, only food required".
This is enough to show how scarce safe food is.
The authorities have recently asked the rescue team to catch a large number of locusts, probably intending to make insect cakes for the survivors to eat.
The planting base has already cultivated fast-growing, high-yield crops and is conducting the first experiments.
If all goes well, large-scale planting will begin soon.
I wonder if our country can survive the food crisis caused by the locust plague.
There was a trace of worry between Jiang Fei's brows as he drove to the police station.
Xu Qianyao and a dozen comrades were waiting for her at the door. Hundreds of cartons filled with gold were piled on the ground.
After parking the car, Jiang Fei got out and opened the door.
The comrades began to move the boxes.
Xu Qianyao: "Director Ning said that food is precious now, and he cannot let you and your boss do business at a loss, so he gave you some extra gold."
At this point, he lowered his voice to remind Jiang Fei: "Recently, food is in short supply. Today, the authorities announced that official stores have limited purchases. We can only ensure that the survivors will not starve to death."
"This situation is prone to robbery and theft. You should close your store after a few more days."
Jiang Fei had the same idea.
Not to mention that the food crisis has the potential to develop into famine, people who are in a state of hunger for a long time will become irritable and angry.
To put it simply, I was starving.
They are capable of doing anything extremely violent.
The authorities want to control it, but they have to kill all the starving people.
Otherwise, if security gets out of control, she will become a sitting duck by opening a store.
After his comrades had packed the boxes, Jiang Fei got in the car and drove towards West Street, and put the gold into the supermarket on the way.
System: [Ding——Gold detected: 3,000,000 grams]
Arriving at the An Supermarket, Jiang Fei saw a long line outside the window.
There was also a long queue at the store.
Private stores were closed and official stores were limiting purchases, so everyone came to the two stores in 㱒安 to stock up on goods.
The store door was locked from the inside. Jiang Fei used the intercom to contact Jiang Zhengkang from the store to open the door, then got out of the car and went in to help.
The store closes at 20:00 in the evening and most of the goods are gone.
The lounge could no longer hold the gold, so Jiang Fei simply moved the suitcases to the car with Jiang Zhengkang, Han Yang, Su Liuyuan, and Yao Jin.
Including the gold that An Xiaochao earned in the past few days.
After working for more than an hour, Jiang Fei and others returned to the second floor of the restaurant, and Niu Er had also prepared the meal.
Each person had a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup and a chicken drumstick roasted in an air fryer.
Niu Er explained to Jiang Fei: "There are many people hoarding goods these days, saying that there will be a famine. Brother Su is worried that the fumes from cooking will attract people with bad intentions, so he asked me to cook some simple meals with less fragrance."
Su Liuyuan: "Captain, you are at the planting base. I can't reach you on the intercom, so I took the initiative."
"You're doing great, we really need to keep a low profile right now."
Jiang Fei told them about the purchase restriction.
"The two stores will no longer have any stock, so we will close down immediately. Please remember to hang a sold-out sign at the door."
"Uncle, I will send the supplies you need every day."
Jiang Zhengkang and the others had no objection, but Su Liuyuan was a little worried.
"Will I then have to stay at home with nothing to do for several weeks?"
"Not necessarily. It depends on what measures the authorities have to deal with it."
After saying that, Jiang Fei called A Meng on the intercom and asked him to tell Wang Quezi and Yao Damang to come to the store to find her later.
By the way, I told A Meng Cao Xiuhong's address and asked him to come over.
After dinner, Jiang Fei went to the big truck outside to secretly collect the gold.
[Ding——Gold detected: 466,000 grams]
Then go to the warehouse in the back street and collect the earnings from Wang Cuzi and Yao Damang.
[Ding——Gold detected: 8955000 grams]
[Current unlocking progress: 75%]
The revenue in the North Field and East Central District has declined significantly.
I guess Director Ning can’t transfer much gold.
The gold in the safe house is not liquid, and sooner or later there will be a day when she will take it all.
Maybe she should move to another place.
It just so happened that the date she and Mo Yanan had agreed on was at the end of next month.
She could go to the base in Kyoto to have a look.
If it's not suitable to stay, you can still make a lot of money.
Jiang Fei thought about it and returned to the inn.
Wang Quezi and two other people came over.
Compared to the ease of Wang Quezi and Yao Damang, Cao Xiuhong seemed a little embarrassed. She sat on the chair, rubbing her pants with her hands.
"Don't be nervous. I asked you to come here today to formally join us."
Jiang Fei handed Cao Xiuhong a bottle of water and replied: "You should know that the safety center is short of food recently."
"I won't be selling dried herbs, supplements, or protective gear for now. I plan to have you sell food."
Yao Damang: "In fact, we can continue to sell supplements. The residents of Dongyang District still have some assets, so they won't be short of food."
"Then let's sell all the remaining supplements in the Nantong Dawu warehouse."
Jiang Fei looked at Wang Quezi and said, "Bring Ah Meng and the others to Dongyang District to pick up the goods at 6 o'clock in the morning. You don't have to drive. I will find someone to help move the goods tonight."
"Cao Xiuhong, if you are short of goods in the future, go to Nantong Da'an's warehouse to get them. Wang Quezi will show you the way."
"What has broken out this time is a food crisis. I don't care how you sell it, but you must keep a low profile, don't cause trouble, and protect your own safety."
The three of them nodded and took note of Jiang Fei's words.
Wang Quezi suddenly looked serious: "By the way, Boss, I found out something these days. Someone spread rumors about Brother Lu, saying that he is a gigolo, clinging to you, and has done all kinds of outrageous things."
"The rumor started from the patrol on West Main Street."
Jiang Fei frowned slightly.
The patrol team on West Street is under Lu Yu’s command.
Is he hated by his teammates?
I'll go back and ask Lu Yu later.
After Wang Quezi and the other two left, Jiang Fei drove the truck back to Dongyang District.
He let Su Liuyuan go home, and he found an empty street nearby and took out five large trucks.
Fill it with rice, flour, beans, vegetables, fast food and other foods.
The big truck she was driving was loaded with fast food, pre-prepared meals, and daily necessities for the two stores, ready for Wang Quezi to deliver them the next day.
If she finishes tidying up in advance, she can sleep half an hour longer.
After locking the car, Jiang Fei walked home.
Lu Yu just happened to drive back.
Jiang Fei stopped Lu Yu who was about to go to Room 01 and told her the news that Wang Quezi had told her.
Lu Yu: "I have already checked it out."
"You know that person, too."
