Chapter 204: Food Prices Double



Jing Mo thought about it seriously, and then said seriously, "Not yet.

But it’s okay, just wait for me to practice.”

Su Nian, "......"

Although Jing Mo spoke seriously, Su Nian wanted to laugh when he heard it.

The two talked for a while, and Feng Xiuli's voice came from the intercom, "Big sister, are you ready? I have brought people to the door."

"Give us two minutes, we'll be there soon."

While Su Nian was speaking, Jing Mo had already put on goggles and a mask.

Su Nian put on his glasses again and the two of them went out together.

This was the first time the two of them opened the door and went out since they came back last time.

As soon as the door to the living room was opened, a strong wind swept in dust.

Su Nian and Jing Mo, who were standing at the door, were the first to be hit.

Fortunately, the two were well-equipped and would not be in such a mess as last time.

After walking out of the living room, Su Nian got into the car directly. Jing Mo locked the door of the living room and then sat in the driver's seat.

They were relatively close to the gate, and a minute later, their car arrived at the gate.

Su Nian contacted Feng Xiuli using the intercom, and soon someone got out of the car and opened the gate.

Feng Xiuli said on the intercom that they were here specifically to guard the door, and that a car would come soon and park as close to the door as possible so that the door could be opened for them when they came back.

After hearing what Feng Xiuli said, Su Nian felt even more that the communication had to be restored.

With mobile phone communications, at least we don’t have to wait at the door to open it for people.

There is no hindrance to communication between these two walkie-talkies within a certain range.

The two cars drove very slowly, first heading towards the agency center where the house was located.

That street is a relatively busy place. It not only has an intermediary center, but also an exchange center, a grain store and a convenience service hall.

Su Nian had heard before that paying electricity bills, internet access, and network fees can all be handled at the convenience service hall.

Feng Xiuli and her friends stopped at the entrance of the agency center, while Jing Mo drove to the convenience service hall.

The distance between the two was not far, and the intercom could still be used. Su Nian felt relieved knowing that Feng Xiuli and the others had successfully entered the house.

As soon as Su Nian put down the intercom, Jing Mo said, "Sit here and wait. I'll go ask."

Without waiting for Su Nian to answer, Jing Mo opened the door and walked down.

The door was locked and no sound from outside could be heard. Su Nian could only vaguely see that Jing Mo had walked to the door.

After waiting for a few minutes, Jing Mo returned to the car and knocked on the window.

Su Nian immediately opened the car window and heard Jing Mo say loudly, "Give me your ID card and you don't have to get out."

Su Nian handed over the ID card, watched Jing Mo turn around and leave, then rolled up the car window.

In just a short while, there was already another layer of sand on Su Nian's body and inside the car.

Su Nian just took a glance and then looked away, pretending not to see it.

It was a little dirty, but there was no need to clean it up.

Otherwise, after all the hard work of cleaning up, as soon as you open the car door, it will return to its original state.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Su Nian saw Jing Mo coming out.

As soon as Jing Mo got in the car, he took out a few cards from his pocket.

"Your and my ID cards are connected. Scan this with your phone, enter the ID code and initial password, and you can go online.

You can pay the fee online and apply for internet access. When you go back, ask Sister Feng if they want to join the internet."

Su Nian gave Su Nian a thumbs up, "Great! You did a great job!

Next, let’s go to the grain store! We still need to buy some grain to make it look like we have arrived.”

There is endless food in Su Nian’s space, but Feng Xiuli and the others don’t know it!

If they don't buy it, and the sandstorm doesn't end, Feng Xiuli will definitely worry that they will have nothing to eat.

Their car just stopped in front of the grain store, and Feng Xiuli and her friends also drove over.

This time, Su Nian and Jing Mo got out of the car together, and Feng Xiuli also got out of the car with two people.

Several people arrived at the door of the grain store together.

The rolling door of the grain store was mostly pulled down, and a thick door curtain was hung inside to block the wind and sand.

Several people pulled the rolling door up a little, lifted the cotton curtain and quickly slipped in.

Although the movement was very fast, the wind and sand still blew some into the house.

The people who were originally standing in the room turned their backs and closed their eyes at the same time.

After a while, the dust settled and the room became clear again.

Su Nian and Jing Mo had been to the grain store before and were quite familiar with the place.

At this time, there were not only staff from the grain store in the room, but also people like Su Nian and his friends who came to buy grain.

A man looked towards Su Nian and Jing Mo, and immediately became interested after seeing how they were dressed.

"Your equipment is great! Do you have any extra ones? How about selling me a set?"

Jing Mo refused directly, "There are no extra ones."

The man's expression became extremely regretful when he heard this, but he did not argue any further and turned around to look at the staff behind the counter.

"Your grain prices have doubled compared to before. Isn't that too much? Did you raise the prices yourself, or did the base ask you to do so?"

The man spoke in a muffled voice, sounding very imposing.

But the staff was not afraid at all and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant voice.

"I am just working for the base, how can I raise the price myself? Of course it was the base that asked me to raise the price.

Don’t you have a mobile phone? Don’t you know how to check the news on the official website?

What's going on now? A sandstorm! Who knows when this sandstorm will stop?

So many days have passed, the crops in the fields must have been affected. Who knows how much grain can be produced by then?

Food prices have only doubled now, and if the sandstorm continues for another half a month or a month, it would be normal for them to double or triple.”

When the staff member first spoke, he was still very confident because he was very unhappy about being suspected of raising prices without permission.

But as they got further into the topic, the staff member's tone began to show some worry.

Just like he said, he is just a worker for the base. Even if he can buy food cheaper than ordinary people, it is not much cheaper.

If food prices really double or triple, we will have no choice but to tighten our belts.

The man who was buying food was silent for a long time before he spoke in a muffled voice, "Then give me ten kilograms of sweet potato noodles and ten kilograms of brown rice!"

"Sweet potato noodles are worth two contribution points per pound, and brown rice is worth four contribution points per pound, for a total of sixty contribution points."

The man silently took out his ID card and swiped his contribution points first. The staff then took the cloth bag handed over by the man and began to put food into it.
