Chapter 165: Shelters Become Popular
Tong Zi and her friends came back very late today, but they brought back a lot of supplies.
Yu Duoduo drove twice before he dragged everyone's belongings back.
In addition to the daily necessities exchanged, there were also many frozen small animals.
Yu Duoduo was curious, were these also exchanged?
"No, Sister Duoduo, we can only exchange daily necessities at the market. Those frozen animals were picked up by us on the way back." Minan explained.
Yu Duoduo suddenly realized that the extreme cold came suddenly, sweeping everywhere in an instant, and the animals that had no time to escape were frozen to death.
In her previous life, when she went up the mountain, it was already quite late. Naturally, all the frozen animals in the mountains had already been snatched away by everyone. There was no place for a little girl like her, so she didn't notice this.
“Duoduo, we agreed on the way back that we won’t go to the market to exchange supplies in the next few days.
We plan to sweep all three mountains, drag back the frozen animals and store them, and make longer-term plans.
After all, no one knows how long this evil disaster will last!
"I went out these past two days and saw how other people were living. After comparing, I realized that our life couldn't be better! We need to manage it well!" Tong Zi said.
Yu Duoduo was surprised that Zi Zi had suddenly matured! "So you guys aren't going tomorrow?"
"Well, the four of us won't go for now, because we didn't get a booth today, so we wandered around the whole day and exchanged a lot of daily necessities, enough to last for a long time.
However, we saw that there was no food for sale in the market, and we guessed that food was in short supply for everyone, so we shouldn’t sell all the food, otherwise what would we do if we had no food in the future!
Fortunately, our mountains are far away from the urban area, and people have not yet considered going to such a far place to chop firewood. We cannot waste this inherent advantage.
So we plan to collect the frozen game from the mountains first, and as for the market, we will talk about it later!" Tong Zi said seriously.
Yu Duoduo was just about to say that she still had to go to the market, but before she could finish her words, Minan took over for her.
“However, Sister Duoduo, you and Brother Yun still have to stay at the market, because you have already applied for a stall. According to the new official regulations, if no one uses the stall for three days, it will be considered as automatically giving up the right to operate it.
You are so lucky. When we went there again today, the market management office was no longer accepting new stall owner applications.
They said that all 20,000 stalls in the greenhouse have been applied for, and they will only process applications for stall transfers in the future.
And the transfer requires paying heating fees to the management office, and the materials must be officially approved!" said Minan.
Yu Duoduo glanced at Xie Yun and raised his eyebrows. This was such a good relationship that he didn’t even need to find a reason to go.
There seemed to be no such rule in the previous life. Perhaps it was because of the explosive population growth in Hui City in this life and the large population base that led to a shortage of stalls in the market.
Only with a stall can there be room for creativity. After all, the supplies most people have are useless, not even as good as a piece of clean ice or a bundle of dry firewood.
In the evening, Tong Zi wanted to help Yu Duoduo and the others make meat sauce as usual so that they could take it out the next day, but Yu Duoduo refused.
The supplies in the space are already more than enough. The number of live chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs and sheep is constantly increasing. The number of rabbits alone has doubled. Fruits are produced on the trees season after season. The grains and vegetables have been harvested and are ready to be planted for the next crop...
The end of the world is still a long way off, and she doesn't want to take up everyone's supplies. After all, the later it gets, the less food there will be outside.
Instead of exchanging food for daily necessities now, it is better to keep them.
The value of food will become greater as time goes by. After all, in any difficult era, the value of toilet paper will not be higher than rice.
The next morning, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun went out early. Today was the trading day agreed with Brother Wang.
The market was much busier than the day before, crowded with people, just like a vegetable market.
The situation at the shelter nearby was even more outrageous. People seemed to have discovered a new continent. There were long queues of people coming to seek refuge with the authorities, almost catching up with the number of people collecting food.
Those who originally moved into the shelter were all helpless because their houses were flooded or they were homeless. Those whose houses were still on the ice naturally stayed in their homes.
As we all know, the conditions in the shelter are poor. When we got here and took a look, we realized that it couldn't even be called a building, but just a temporary shed.
Even the toilets were built by the government in two large pits dug not far away, one for men and one for women. They were still surrounded by a shed, and the inside was no different from the old pit latrines.
But many people came and were reluctant to leave.
Even if the accommodation environment is difficult, the government can provide free heating! Looking at the blazing fire, it will take your soul away.
In extreme cold, this one condition alone can defeat all other inconveniences!
In comparison, my home is as cold as an ice cellar. Even if I cover myself with the thick quilt at home, it doesn't help.
In order to keep warm, you have to go out and chop firewood, and you might be robbed by thieves hiding somewhere on the way.
Even if we were able to transport the firewood back, we couldn't close the windows all day long for fear of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Thinking about it this way, I might as well move here!
Not only is there official food distribution, but there is also a market now. If you need something, you can just go find someone nearby to exchange it with. It is so convenient.
The key is that there is 24-hour military and police guarding. I’m afraid there is no place safer than here!
When Yu Duoduo was 200 meters away from the market, he took out the supplies to be exchanged today from the space.
Xie Yun carried the plastic box for Brother Wang, and the bulk bags were put into Yu Duoduo's own backpack.
The two walked straight towards the market.
The two of them went to Brother Wang's stall first. There were so many people there that Xie Yun had to hold the box above his head to squeeze in.
The boxes of Yu Duoduo and his friends were not heavy, but they were quite large. As expected, when Yu Duoduo placed the boxes in front of Brother Wang's stall, a lot of people gathered around to watch.
Yu Duoduo squatted in front of Brother Wang's stall, while Xie Yun consciously stood behind Yu Duoduo to prevent the crowd from bumping into her or kicking her butt.
"Brother Wang, the goods you requested have arrived. Are the things we want ready?"
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Brother Wang quickly smiled and said, "Of course I'm ready!"
As he spoke, Brother Wang opened the lid of the box a little and took a look. The aroma of meat and sauce immediately overflowed from the box, intoxicating Brother Wang.
Then he waved his hand to ask two people at the stall next to him to come over and count the number of meat paste cubes in the box.
He took out a small brick wrapped in a black plastic bag from under his butt and handed it to Yu Duoduo.
Yu Duoduo raised his eyebrows. Brother Wang was still so casual. When he took the 4-jin brick in his hand, it was still a little warm!
But this weight is really handy!
