Chapter 875: Two Ferries in One Go
Tsk tsk, the people of Xuwen who had thought that the flood had finally receded and they could move back were dumbfounded.
What was left behind was not only mud, but also the carrion beetles that had made this land their home.
What should we do? The people of Xuwen can’t just keep living in someone else’s house and rely on the town government for supplies!
No one can afford to eat now.
So the government offered a huge reward to people to study the utilization value of carrion beetles. Well, you know what, a blind cat caught a dead mouse and someone actually came up with a solution.
In these end times, we either need to study how to eat them or how to use them.
There are two flowers in bloom, each with its own beauty. I really don't understand how it is eaten. Before evolution, it can be used as feed for maggots. After evolution, the fat chickens that eat the Niuhulu carrion worms returning from the sea will cry when eating it. It is really too disgusting, so I have figured out how to use it.
After the carrion worms are dried in the shade and then processed, they can be used as fuel for modified ferries.
However, its utilization rate is extremely low. After modification, a large boiler room is needed to burn it. It is worse than the steam ships of the time. The power is very low, and each ferry needs to carry several cars of fuel. Therefore, it cannot be used as fuel for car ships and cannot be popularized.
Even so, it was enough to serve as fuel for the ferry, so the carrion worms that filled Xuwen were caught alive.
Do you remember how the red nematodes were not caught and became extinct?
These carrion worms are even worse. Even people from neighboring counties and cities come here because a thousand kilograms of dried worms can be exchanged for a white flour steamed bun.
Carrion beetles? They were free, one set for one sack. On average, one person could eat an extra steamed bun after working hard for three days. Don't even mention how enthusiastic everyone was.
In less than a month, the people of Xuwen returned to their hometown. The ferry was able to run again, transport supplies and goods, and make money. The people of Xuwen even began to dig out carrion worms from the sea.
Although 100 kilograms of prepared carrion worms can only be exchanged for one salty cake, many people still rely on the Ferry Chamber of Commerce for their livelihood.
The Ferry Chamber of Commerce has no worries about fuel now. The sea is full of carrion maggots, and there are so many of them that they will crawl ashore if they are not caught in a few days.
Therefore, in the past two years, the ferry chambers of commerce have become arrogant and have the confidence to make decisions with the cigarette factories and dare to monopolize the cigarette factories.
"What should we do, Sister Jing? Should I contact the higher-ups and ask the town government to intervene?" Xiao Zhao asked.
Jingshu waved her hand and said, "The price is clearly marked and reasonable. There's no need to confront the parents over such a small matter. This afternoon, take a few people who can drive a large boat and come with me."
"Okay, Sister Jing, we have a few guys who retired from the navy. They can even sail a ship, not to mention a boat. So... Sister Jing, do we have a ship we can sail?"
Jingshu smiled slightly: "You will know when the time comes."
Zhao Yu wondered why Sister Jing didn't resolve the ferry association issue, but instead recruited a few talented boat operators. Was she planning to charter a boat and do the transportation herself? The problem was, small boats couldn't carry large trucks, and the ferries that could handle it were monopolized. They wouldn't rent or sell a ferry that could lay golden eggs.
.
The Ferry Chamber of Commerce is not a perfect egg, and Jingshu is not just staying in the Hulk's body doing nothing for nothing.
In the afternoon, after Zhao Yu had selected the people, Jingshu carried her specially made big black suitcase and took a group of people to Fuyou Village in a low-key manner on an ordinary bus.
Although it is called a village, every household has a luxurious villa with multiple floors, and every household has a garden courtyard of several hundred square meters. The six-color lights can be seen from afar.
The smoke from the cooking stove curls up, the fragrance is everywhere, it is warm and peaceful.
Well, this is the home of the Ferry Chamber of Commerce.
There was a security team at the entrance of the village. Several men holding rifles stopped the bus. The scarred man in the lead said in a deep voice: "This is private territory. Outsiders are prohibited from entering!"
Zhao Yu looked at Jing Shu, and Jing Shu said to the scarred man, "Go find Chen Yuan at B15, he will send a car to pick us up."
Sure enough, a black business car came soon and took Jingshu and her group of six away. The bus was left outside the village.
The more Zhao Yu looked, the more surprised he was. Sister Jing had never been here before, but she looked so familiar with it. He said that Sister Jing always brought the Hulk with her when she went out, but she didn't this time.
The villa in Chenyuan is
The village was unremarkable, but it made Jingshu jealous. Not to mention that tobacco was only planted in the large yard of several hundred square meters, but as soon as she entered the door, she was greeted by the magnificent eight-meter-high ceilings and the hanging crystal chandeliers. The entire stone mural was majestic, and the spacious living room was so spacious that if she spoke louder, there would be an echo... This was where rich people lived!
I envy you so much!
Jingshu was looking at the scenery while Zhao Yu was looking at people. There was a person tied up on the super large bed in the living room. If Jingshu hadn't been so calm, he would have rushed up long ago!
"Have you brought everything?" the person on the bed said in a hoarse voice.
Jingshu looked down at the middle-aged man in his twenties lying on a several-meter-wide bed in the living room of several hundred square meters. He had dark circles under his eyes and pale lips. He looked haggard and extremely weak, with many wrinkles on his body.
"Then think about it carefully. Doing this will offend the entire Ferry Chamber of Commerce." Jingshu asked back.
Chen Yuan laughed at himself and said, "You're almost dead and still care so much. If I'm offended, then I'm offended."
"Okay, Mr. Shen, your strange disease is indeed incurable, but you can prolong your life. Here's the bet agreement. I will provide Mr. Shen with life-prolonging medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng every month. For every extra year you live, I will give me a ferry. You can prepay me two now. If you don't live past two months, I will give your wife and children a year's supply of medicine for free."
It’s a good deal to exchange a dozen ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum for a ferry a year.
Zhao Yu blinked his eyes, his mind racing. What the hell? What the hell?
What the hell is going on? Isn't this ferry merchant association a monolith? They were willing to buy ferries before, but no one's selling! Other provinces have ferries for sale, but this pier has no space and won't let them dock!
Chen Yuan raised his head. The young girl sitting next to him stood up and took the gambling agreement. Chen Yuan introduced her to Jing Shu: "This is my daughter Shen Xin. You can handle the following matters. I, I want to sleep a little longer..."
Shen Xin was anxious: "Miss Jing, I have signed the bet agreement. Can you give me this month's medicine first so that my father can take it as soon as possible?"
After that, the agreement was signed and uploaded to the town government network.
Jingshu nodded, opened the black box in a flash, took out medicinal herbs such as blood mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum, and ginseng and handed them to Shen Xin, who immediately asked someone to prepare them.
"You all know the dosage and how to use it. I'll personally deliver the medicine to you every month." Jing Shu said to Shen Xin, because Shen Yuan fell asleep again. Soon, he could hear the sound of struggling murmurs, mixed with terrifying sleep talk, and then the bed creaked...
"Thank you, thank you! You have done your best!" Shen Xin kept thanking him.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do. The longer Mr. Shen lives, the more I get. Now let's start the handover of the ferry. I have brought the people here."
“Okay, okay!”
Tears welled up in Shen Xin's eyes. She had always lived in a happy family, but her nightmare had to start with her father's strange illness...
The origin of this strange disease is the Ferry Chamber of Commerce.
