Chapter 221 Excited, going to the United States to do it again next year!
The next auction was quick. According to the current mainstream in the second year of the apocalypse, food was like hard currency, while processed food and out-of-print snacks were rare items of gold level.
A bottle of Xiaolaojiao was sold for 600 virtual coins, a box of Wangzai milk was sold for 500 virtual coins, and even ten boxes of chocolates were sold for 1,000 virtual coins, making Jingshu feel that she was now rich enough to rival a country, and she could become a rich woman just by taking out some snacks.
But the apocalypse lasted so long that Jingshu always felt that she didn’t have enough snacks.
The various condiments that are gradually becoming less and less available are also slowly being included in the scarce list. In this auction, someone gave away a set of Taitai Le gift pack, which included chicken essence, soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce and dark soy sauce, and it was auctioned for 600 virtual coins.
Two 5-liter barrels of peanut oil cost 1,000 virtual coins, which is a bit more expensive than the lard sold by Jingshu.
The prices of these materials are inflated because they are scarce and valuable. In the absence of production and sunlight, everyone knows that they will not be produced in the next few years.
Moreover, the production of just one condiment requires dozens of steps. Take vinegar, for example. The raw material, such as rice, is first cooked, gelatinized, liquefied, and saccharified to convert starch into sugar, which is then fermented with yeast to produce ethanol.
It’s not that it can’t be made, but the cost is too high. In the case of extreme food shortage, the country directly banned food waste and stopped producing these seasonings. The rich can make them themselves if they have the ability, but the rich are not omnipotent. There are very few rich people in the end times who can really mix various seasonings by themselves.
Just think about it, in the future, when everyone can only eat bland meals with a little salt at most, only Jingshu's family will quietly eat braised pork, cola chicken wings... and live the same standard as before the end of the world. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
So the first thing Jingshu did after her rebirth was to buy enough seasonings to last her ten years. This was very foresighted. Even if they were used up, she could still grow them in her Rubik's Cube space. At worst, she could make some secretly herself.
When it comes to eating, Jingshu, ugh, no Chinese person has ever been afraid of trouble.
In short, the things on Jingshu's table were not included in the auction, and all the other things were auctioned off. A total of 100,000 virtual coins were obtained. The government officials were contacted on the spot to buy all the rice directly, and it was made into white rice and given away for free.
At the same time, Jingshu also understood what it meant to be a drop in the bucket.
One hundred thousand virtual coins sounds like a lot, and it's sold at a low price, but the food it gets in exchange is only enough for 70,000 to 80,000 people to eat one meal.
In Wucheng alone, there are more than one million people who have not eaten rice for ten days.
So, Jingshu should just take care of herself in this doomsday. It's okay to help others within her ability, but if she tries to be more than she can be, even if she contributes everything, she won't be able to save many people. If she gets scolded for no reason, it won't be worth it.
This time, the reunion did not disappoint Jingshu. During the auction, Wang Dazhao told Jingshu a lot about the United States, and Yang Yang added a few words from time to time.
The big brother whose hand was blown off was sitting in the co-pilot seat. Jingshu finally understood how a big hole was blown in the co-pilot seat of the RV.
At the same time, Jingshu also knew that this incident involved the cooperation of many other people, which enabled them to make such a perfect use of the "luring the tiger away from the mountain" strategy to make a big profit.
Jingshu felt extremely itchy after hearing this.
Yang Yang nodded and said, "Maybe I'll go again next year."
Jingshu's eyes lit up, "When?"
"It depends on what's going on, but they must have made sufficient preparations there, so I'll try something different next time." Yang Yang took the syringe and poked holes in the tea leaves one by one, completing his artistic masterpiece.
"You can take me with you then."
Yang Yang nodded and said, "Maybe we really need you. We need a humanoid crusher. I think you are a good fit. The special person sent by the imperial capital last time didn't seem as good as you. You acted so arrogantly every day. I can't stand it."
"Okay, bring your armor with you when the time comes. You can go anywhere. Tell me in advance when the time comes. I won't go again next time and it will take another half a year.
"
Jingshu calculated the time. If it was next year, it would just coincide with the big earthquake. If everything was normal and on the right track at the villa, and if the authority of her parents and family members reached a certain level, then she would not need to be there all the time.
The family members are not old, weak, women or children. They have been drinking the spiritual spring for so long, so their strength is obvious. Jing Ye practices crossbow every day. In addition, she is the vice president of the Pharmacist Association, so her strength and power are not low.
Besides that, Jingshu's current allies include Li Yuetian, Niu Moo, and Yang Yang; Zhou Paopi is a potential partner, and Qian Duoduo is a potential stronghold, but that all depends on the performance of his silly son.
The person Jingshu least wants to mention: Su Mali. If there is really no other way, she can ask Su Mali for help. After all, she is really awesome.
If there is a major earthquake caused by external factors, the villa area will be relatively safe. There has never been an earthquake collapse incident in the previous life. By the way, my uncle's family was crushed to death in the previous life, and no one can die again in this life.
In just a short moment, Jingshu had even arranged for herself to go out and for the safety of her family. It can be seen that Jingshu was very excited. She had never been abroad in her life, of course not because of patriotism, but because she was poor.
Even though the US had been in a state of collapse for several years, there should still be a lot of good stuff out there. Jingshu felt it was worthwhile to plunder it. Speaking of which, Jingshu even felt more motivated to upgrade her Rubik's Cube. The higher the upgrade, the more junk she could get back.
"Don't worry, the next trip will be quick. We have already understood the situation in the United States. If possible, we will go around the surrounding areas." Yang Yang, who had been frowning all day, raised the corners of his mouth when he said this. Like Jingshu, he always got excited and his fingers itched when he mentioned going out.
Because there are still many places waiting for him to develop.
…
Mr. Yang Yang's birthday party was over, and on the same day, Wucheng News broadcast the great story of the old soldier donating food, which also set off a trend of donating virtual currency. It has to be said that the old man's style of doing things really created a positive energy atmosphere.
The old man didn't kneel like a washboard that day. I heard that he made a carp blood mushroom soup in the evening, which made the old woman very happy. After eating it, it really worked. The two seemed to have entered a sweet period again.
Jingshu also drove the shark submarine to the salvage site in the city center again and caught the last bus. This time Jingshu had a clear goal, which was to find the missing people, then rescue them, and finally... hehe.
Moreover, Jingshu changed her strategy this time.
