Chapter 770 Going to the Auction Building
Luo Junren is one of the eight members of the supervisory team. He was selected from the Sichuan-Shu region and also has a mission - to find new sources of food.
"Go out and see what people all over the country are eating. Is there anything we can introduce to each other and what we can learn from?"
He did not have the background of three generations of Zhou Yunguan, nor did he have the business acumen of other regions. He just followed everyone silently as a common front and common interests. When Zhou Yun said to open a factory, he followed the Sichuan Town Government to borrow money, people and materials to open a factory.
During this trip of more than three months, he witnessed the poverty in too many areas. In most areas, people only have two meals a day. In the current market situation, it is good enough to be able to survive.
Of course, there are indeed many specialties, but most of them are not suitable for introduction due to multiple reasons such as climate and region. In addition, the output is not very high.
The only thing is the red nematode, which is quite familiar to people all over the country after being eaten for a whole year. Even many people don’t know about it. The crazy reproduction of parasites and the eating of people are caused by red nematodes, and he happens to be an insider. Fortunately, there is a vaccine for it, so there is no need to worry about it.
Otherwise, no one would dare to eat this red nematode cake.
A lot of things happened in the past few days, ups and downs, but he didn't react too much, because no matter how big the problem was, Zhou Yun was there to handle it. Look, it was true, wasn't this matter completely resolved today?
"What cheap and edible specialties can Sichuan and Shu give to Wucheng as a bargaining chip? How can we maximize the benefits?" This is what Luo Junren is worried about now.
They have a kind of dark wild rice that tastes good. It has sharp thorns all over its body and the rice grains are as big as fingernails. They cannot be cooked and are difficult to bite, so they can only be ground into powder and cooked into rice porridge.
That was discovered during the flood the following year, and later they only rose in damp and dark places.
Since we can't grow anything else this year, this wild plant can save a lot of food. The key is that it is troublesome to grow and requires several processing procedures.
If they are made into semi-finished products, their value will be higher and they will be easier to transport.
"But it's not worth it. These things are rare now."
Luo Junren shook his head. He was reluctant to give food because giving food would mean people starving to death.
What kind of goods of equal value could be given? And does it have to be what the other party needs? The treaty stipulates that it must be goods of equal value that are needed.
Moreover, he planned to make friends with Jingshu, and to make up for their previous relationship, he had to make some efforts. Luo Junren began to observe Jingshu carefully.
After dinner, Jingshu visited the kitchen of the Michelin chef in Xishan and learned a lot of methods to store food more conveniently and various imaginative cooking methods.
Jingshu admitted that her thoughts had been imprisoned in her previous life, and this time it was like opening the door to a new world.
It turns out that many ingredients are prepared early and frozen to keep fresh.
Take Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for example: the process is complicated, requiring the boiling of various broths and ingredients, and the materials used are exquisite and luxurious.
But after it is done, freeze it, seal it in a vacuum bag, and heat it up in a pan when you want to eat it.
With so many ingredients, I can make just one pot. How much space does it save? The key is that it can be passed through the door and shared with the family.
After impatiently parting ways with the members of the inspection team, Jingshu went home to study these things.
As for the medicinal ingredients, Jun Bao will be asked to take them there when he finds time. He will take care of the rest of the matters, and Jingshu will just be a hands-off manager. She will calculate the profits and settle the accounts once a month, and Jingshu will take Xiao Liu with her.
Of course, Jingshu knew exactly how many red nematodes these medicinal ingredients could produce and how much profit they could bring. At the same time, since it was stated that the production of red nematodes was limited, she naturally would not destroy this balance for no reason.
From now on, the output of Wucheng Worm Cake Factory will be reduced by 30%. The eight factories will share 30% of the Wucheng Town Government's income, and Jingshu will add another 20% to the eight factories.
It is not a small amount, nor a large amount. By saving money, a factory can barely support tens of thousands of people every day, which can reduce a lot of burden on the local area.
Jingshu actually has the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity
She promoted the effects of the mud mermaid bone powder, but after thinking about it, she came up with a new plan.
The Wucheng grain reserve warehouse now has a batch of insect cakes, which can at least be considered as reserve grain. Having surplus grain is a good start and also a turning point in Qian Duoduo's fate.
But it is not enough, far from enough. Jingshu's factory working hard alone cannot allow the people in a city to survive the upcoming famine. Even with the insects of the insect girl Xiaowei and Qian Duoduo's desperate development, it is not enough. Oh, even the food grown by the artificial sun with crazy energy consumption is not enough.
Everyone is working hard, but what’s the use in the face of natural disasters?
The mud mermaid is a very good food. Jingshu already has an idea in her mind about how to take it out openly and even breed it in the future.
Jingshu knew the person who was organizing the auction at the building this time. He was very familiar to her. He was actually the person in charge of logistics at the building, Wang Miao.
Originally it was Junjia's turn to come, but he was already traumatized and was afraid that the building would run away again. This time, even Jin Baba, who loved to join in the fun, didn't dare to come.
Not to mention, very few of the people who survived the last building can come, and those who come are forced to do so - after all, they have to assess the damage and settle the accounts.
For example, the villa that Jingshu auctioned last time was lost. Since the auction house was not completely handed over to the buyer, the result of the damage assessment was that Jingshu was responsible for 60% of the natural disaster, Greenland Villa Company was responsible for 20%, and the town government was responsible for the poor management of the auction, which was 20%.
It would be good to be able to compensate some.
There was nothing else to auction in the building. It was just an empty building with a foul smell of shit. There were many places where the mud and mermaid shit had not been cleaned up.
If you buy a seven-story building, it will take a very long time just to clean up the feces.
Who would buy it?
It is definitely a place for people to live. It is certainly a tight housing situation nowadays. For example, in the Banana Community, it has experienced four years of disasters, and each time it narrowly escaped disaster and was lucky enough to be preserved.
The basement corridor and underground garage were packed with people.
Places like those close to the town government and those with large canteens managing the district town government are all very expensive. You should know that Wucheng currently has only three district town governments.
The house may be gone in the next disaster, but it is safe with the town government.
The reason why I say there is no tension is that a large number of houses in the urban area were vacant before, but due to the disasters in recent years, most of them are uninhabitable. People can still live there if they take the risk, but it is difficult. There is no people, no transportation, no town government, no canteen, no fire, and no water. It is a real challenge to survive.
Just when Jingshu excitedly came to the auction point in the building, wanting to see who else would compete with her for this worthless building, she didn't know that there were minimum purchase conditions set there.
