Chapter 020 Chapter 20
If this man is really the boss of the business, he is definitely not a good person.
Because most of the rich man's wealth was taken away by Xie Muchi without him noticing.
Of course, at that time Ji Yang didn't know that he was the leader of this group of profiteers.
In the middle of the extreme heat, the head of the profiteer was replaced.
Before this, he only dealt with wealthy people. In small-scale transactions like Ji Yang's, the people he could come into contact with most were small bosses.
She remembered that there had always been a legend in the base. In the early days, there was a powerful man who brought a group of people and acted as a profiteer on the surface, exchanging various resources. He made a lot of money himself, and even the official officials might not be as rich as him.
Later, someone discovered that the rich man's things all appeared on the official side and finally fell into the hands of ordinary survivors.
Some people speculated that this person might be working for the authorities. It was not easy for the authorities to overcharge the customers openly. Or it might be that there were not enough people at the time. There were too many survivors who needed rescue, but a large amount of survival supplies were controlled and hidden by a few wealthy people. This was too wasteful, so they joined forces to come up with this method.
The government provided all kinds of precious resources, and that person acted as a representative to exchange a large amount of basic survival resources from the rich. Compared with the government's rigid image, the profiteer could get much more. Ji Yang was also one of the beneficiaries at the beginning.
Of course, this was only discovered later; at first everyone just thought he was a powerful trader.
Later, I heard that the boss of the profiteers was changed, and there was a lot of turmoil. Some profiteers were not convinced and wanted to set up their own business, but somehow it calmed down again.
But when she saw Xie Muchi today, and then looked at Luo Laosan, and the other three people he brought with him, all of whom were small bosses of the trader business, they all called Xie Muchi the boss, so she thought so.
The current Xie Muchi is the person mentioned in the rumors in the previous life, but he may retire after achieving success in the future?
The longer a natural disaster lasts, the fewer resources are available, the gap between the rich and the poor gradually narrows, and there are fewer replaceable resources, so retirement is normal.
Anyway, the Xie Muchi that Ji Yang knew in his previous life was just an idle person. He had great kung fu skills, but he wanted to sleep all day long and was sometimes too lazy to eat.
But given his excellent skills, Ji Yang didn't mind.
Later, when she had accumulated enough points and planned to invite him again, the dealer said he could no longer be contacted.
During years of natural disasters, if you can't contact someone, nine out of ten times they are gone.
Because at this time, everyone will not easily leave the base alone to go somewhere else.
And with so many disasters, it is normal for people to die.
It's a pity that he noticed her abnormality as soon as they met in this life, otherwise she might have asked him to teach her. No one would dislike her for being too strong, especially in the last days. She wanted to become a Super Saiyan. Even if there was space, the improvement of her body could not be ignored.
The scarf blocked Ji Yang's expression, and she looked normal: "I don't know. I was taught by a martial arts master who I signed up for before. I didn't ask about that at the time. Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave."
Xie Muzhi's eyes curved slightly and he took two steps back: "Please."
Ji Yang nodded and called out "Xixi".
"Woof!" Xixi responded immediately, looked at the group of people vigilantly, and followed his master with his tail wagging.
The claws stepped on the snow and created small flowers.
It was soon buried by the drifting snow.
Gradually, the dead on the ground were also buried.
Xie Muzhi glanced at the mess behind him and said, "Let's drag these people back and deal with them."
"Yes!" Luo Laosan and others immediately responded.
They have a wide network of contacts and have seen a lot. Under normal circumstances, the corpses would at most make people feel scared. But now, people are short of food and clothing, and there are people robbing and collecting protection money. They are so hungry that they have turned into demons.
They couldn't beat those ruthless guys, and without food, they could only turn their attention to other people.
Corpses...can also be used as food.
Moreover, this group of people is organized. If people knew that a little girl killed their five thugs, the organization would definitely take revenge on her. There were too many people watching Ji Yang being taken away by them at the entrance of the mall, but if the body was handled by them, the matter would naturally be blamed on them.
The boss doesn't dare to take revenge on anyone.
But it’s such a pity that Miss Ji didn’t come to work.
But on second thought, the fact that this girl could take out so many fruits for a few pieces of inedible jade showed that she was not short of supplies.
Luo Laosan wiped his saliva enviously. Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
no!
He must work hard and strive to have enough food and drink to buy some things to enjoy life!
——
It was still early, but the temperature was too low. Ji Yang didn't want to stay outside for long, so she took Xixi for a walk. After confirming that no one was following them, she put on her skis again and put a harness on Xixi. This time, she didn't ski by herself, but gave the command directly: "Xixi, go!"
As soon as the puppy heard the command, it jumped up and rushed forward.
It was a bit difficult at first.
Just as Ji Yang was about to help, he was already fully mobilized, and at this time it was not so strenuous.
Snowflakes were flying in her face along the way. Fortunately, she had sufficient equipment, otherwise her face would have been frozen. Finally, after more than 20 minutes, she returned to Jiafu Community.
Xixi was gasping for breath due to exhaustion. Ji Yang just wanted to exercise a bit, so he put Xixi into the backpack, with its head sticking out, and started climbing the stairs.
She panted her way to the thirteenth floor. When she heard someone coming down, she paused, ready her weapon, and continued to climb.
When they reached the fourteenth floor, a familiar-looking woman lowered her eyes and slowly walked down.
Noticing her, the woman's eyes immediately lit up: "You went out, I was wondering why there was no response when I knocked on the door."
Ji Yang remembered her. She was the woman who had exchanged the jade bracelet for milk powder with her before. She nodded: "What's the matter?"
The woman's eyes turned red and she wanted to say something, but the situation was different this time. She glanced at the fourteenth floor and pointed upstairs.
Ji Yang nodded and quickly went upstairs.
Jiang Jing followed closely and said with red eyes: "Can I exchange this jade bracelet for a few packs of sanitary napkins?"
As he said this, he took out the things in his pocket.
A jade bracelet in excellent condition!
Based on Ji Yang's superficial understanding, this jade bracelet should have been sold for one million before the natural disaster.
She was a little surprised. Such an expensive item was taken out? This was not the same price as the previous 300,000 jade bracelet.
Jiang Jing explained: "This belongs to my mother-in-law. My husband and I went to pick them up two days ago and found that they were both dead. The jade bracelet was in the safe so no one could take it away. I didn't steal it from others."
She knew that Ji Yang was almost robbed some time ago and was afraid that she would be disgusted by this.
If it were peacetime, she would definitely not easily use the relics of her deceased mother-in-law, but in the current situation, the possibility of dawn is too low. If she doesn't take action now, it may just become an ordinary stone that is so heavy that people will dislike it if it is thrown on the road and takes up too much space.
Therefore, her husband asked her to bring it over to change the sanitary napkin, as the previous one had been used up. It would be really a torture to let the blood flow like this in the middle of winter. However, the price of the jade bracelet at the official exchange point was not high.
I should say that the price of sanitary napkins is...too expensive.
Everything has stopped, and bathroom manufacturers no longer produce these things. The more they are used, the less they are, so they are now sold by the piece, ten points per piece. After exchanging the bracelet, she can only sell five packs.
She was thinking about the bracelet last time. Ji Yang was able to give two packs of sanitary napkins as a bargain. Although so much time has passed and the value of the materials has risen, it should be higher than the official price. Of course, if not, she can only take the risk and find those profiteers.
But compared to the trader, she still trusted Ji Yang, who had done business with her once and was also a woman.
Ji Yang didn't want to ask these questions, and just said: "I'll take the things, but what I can give you..." She pondered for two seconds and gave a price: "Ten packs of sanitary napkins and a bucket of infant formula, or five packs of sanitary napkins, three packs of sleeping pants and a bucket of infant formula, you choose."
She doesn't want to cheat anyone, but she can't be so stupid and generous either.
This price is based on price changes during this period.
It’s definitely higher than the market price, but not outrageously so.
Of course, this market price is not official.
The government will not spend a lot of money to purchase gold, silver and jewelry. Those who are willing to buy these are basically speculators. They will find ways to sell them to rich people, and their bids are naturally much higher than the official ones.
After Ji Yang finished speaking, Jiang Jing was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
It was far beyond her expectations.
"I want ten packs of sanitary napkins and milk powder."
The sleeping pants are no longer necessary. She has been eating less recently and the weather is cold, so her menstrual flow is getting less and less. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed two packs of sanitary napkins until now.
She even hoped to stop having her period before her sanitary napkins ran out.
Her daughter no longer needs milk powder. She has small teeth now and can eat meat soup and porridge very well. She is not picky about food at all. However, the milk powder is also an unexpected surprise. She never thought that Ji Yang still has milk powder.
Ji Yang likes this kind of decisive guest: "Okay, wait a moment."
She opened the door and went in.
Jiang Jing waited happily, and soon the familiar black bag was handed out.
She immediately handed over the bracelet.
The transaction was completed. Jiang Jing said thank you again and hurried downstairs. Ji Yang closed the door, threw the bracelet into the space, and then put Xixi down.
This guy was not noisy or noisy. She was so busy trading that she forgot it was still on her back.
Xixi was still happy when she landed. She rubbed against her owner and then ran to drink water.
Ji Yang also took off his clothes while checking the space.
——
This time the bracelet disappeared.
There is a small piece of extra living space, which after a rough measurement is exactly 50 square meters.
Ji Yang was happy to see the soft and fertile land. She looked around at all the seeds and finally chose Chinese medicinal herbs to plant first and leave the rest for later.
During this period, you can try to trade more fruits. When summer comes, you really can’t get the fruits out, but you can make dried fruits at that time.
But it shouldn’t be as attractive as fresh fruit, right?
Ji Yang thought about it and realized that she should decide what to eat later. She had just come back from a trip and her hands and feet were still a little cold, so she decided to eat something hot and spicy.
While he was thinking, Xixi finished drinking the water. Ji Yang filled its food bowl with meat and looked at the little cooked meat left. He decided to cook more when he had time.
This half-grown puppy eats too much!
Seeing the dog eating so happily, Ji Yang became even hungrier. Now he didn't have to choose, just boiled fish to go with rice!
Because she placed the order directly and paid enough money, the boss put plenty of ingredients in the dish, including fish meat. The bean sprouts and dried tofu combined were not as much as the fish meat. In addition to that, there were plenty of various peppers, peppercorns and oil.
It's very strong in taste, but very enjoyable to eat.
Ji Yang finished a big bowl of rice in one breath, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
But the food is almost finished.
If she took another portion, she would feel it was too much, so she simply didn't eat it and replaced it with fruit. Occasionally, when she had nothing to do, she would put some of the fruit in an empty room, with the door closed and the window open. It would become a natural outdoor refrigerator, where she would freeze some ice water and fruit.
If you put the fruit in there for about ten minutes, it will cool down completely. Smaller fruits such as strawberries can be frozen into an icy texture.
Chill it to different degrees according to your preference and then put it away. When it is extremely hot next time, take it out and eat it and it will be just cool. For example, iced watermelon. I can't imagine how happy it would be to eat an iced watermelon when it is extremely hot.
However, the weather is cold now, and Ji Yang doesn't like to eat cold food, so the fruits he took out are all at room temperature. He directly uses his consciousness to wash them in space and pours the water on the fruit tree. It is convenient and quick.
She didn’t throw away the fruit cores, but collected them all so that she could maybe grow them in the future.
Anyway, Ji Yang now finds everything useful and won’t throw away garbage easily.
She ate the sweet and slightly sour cherries one by one, threw the cores into the space after eating, and rested for a while. Feeling that the food in her stomach was almost digested, Ji Yang stretched and started today's exercise.
This exercise lasted for three hours, using up all her last bit of strength. She rested for half an hour and then slipped into the space to wash up.
Even though there were occasional noises from livestock such as pigs, cows and sheep, the space still seemed very quiet. This was not a real world after all, so Ji Yang was particularly uncomfortable with it. Especially once she entered the space, she could not hear anything happening outside.
But there is a shower here and the temperature is constant!
Ji Yang took a hot shower, put on her clothes and came out. She heard a burst of urgent scratching at the door. Her face changed slightly and she rushed to the door immediately.
I saw Xixi scratching the door, as if wanting to go out, and there was a hint of anxiety on the dog's face.
Seeing her owner coming out, Xixi immediately pounced on her and bit her trouser leg and pulled her out.
“Woof woof woof—”
Ji Yang actually didn't hear any noise outside, but Xixi looked like there was an enemy, so she didn't hesitate, quickly changed into her winter clothes for going out, put on all her equipment, and tentatively opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, a familiar but particularly sharp and panicked female voice yelled, "You bunch of beasts! Bastard! He was the one who broke into my house while my husband was not at home and wanted to bully me. He deserves to be beaten to death, and you are still helping this bastard!"
Then Qiao Huijun spoke righteously: "That's too serious. He certainly made a mistake, but you're fine, aren't you? Your husband was too cruel. He caused his family to lose a labor force. What's the difference between this and murder? We just want you to compensate us with some food. Otherwise, do you have the heart to watch their family starve to death?"
Then there were several cries and pleas: "Look at me, an orphan and a widow. You beat my son like this. You want us to die!"
Jiang Jing still gritted her teeth: "No, we don't have any food at home!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another panicked scream: "Ah! What are you doing? This is robbery!"
