The man took back the cloth bag containing the grain, tied the mouth of the bag carefully, tied the two bags together with a rope, carried it on his shoulder, and turned to leave.
After watching the man leave, the staff looked at Su Nian and the others, "You guys want to buy food too?"
Feng Xiuli walked forward and asked, "What kind of food do you have now, and what are the prices?"
The staff member took a piece of paper and handed it to Feng Xiuli, "It's all written on it, take a look for yourself!"
Hearing this, Su Nian also walked forward to watch.
This piece of paper is not big to begin with, and there is not much written on it.
Brown rice is four contribution points per kilogram.
Sweet potato noodles cost two contribution points per pound.
Sorghum flour costs two contribution points per pound.
Wheat flour costs five contribution points per pound.
Northeastern rice costs six contribution points per kilogram.
Su Nian originally thought that sweet potato noodles and sorghum noodles were the cheapest, but when she looked down, she saw even cheaper ones.
Wheat bran and rice bran, one contribution point per kilogram.
Su Nian had come here to buy food before, so he naturally knew the price of food here.
What the man just said was right, the price has indeed doubled compared to before the sandstorm arrived.
If the sandstorm stops within a period of time, the price may fall back.
But if the sandstorm continues, it’s hard to say what will happen.
Feng Xiuli frowned all the time, and after a long while she asked, "Is there a purchase limit?"
When the staff heard this, they immediately understood that this was a big customer!
If you were only buying ten or twenty kilograms, you would never ask such a question.
The staff member smiled politely, "There is no purchase limit now."
The implication is that it’s hard to say what will happen in the future.
Feng Xiuli gritted her teeth and said, "Then give me 200 kilograms of sweet potato flour, 200 kilograms of sorghum flour, 100 kilograms of brown rice, and 50 kilograms of wheat flour."
Su Nian was standing next to Feng Xiuli and could clearly see that Feng Xiuli's gaze stayed on the rice bran and wheat bran for a long time.
Just when Su Nian thought that Feng Xiuli would not buy these two things, Feng Xiuli spoke up, "Give me 50 kilograms of rice bran and wheat bran as well!"
The staff member had obviously learned counting skills very well and started counting as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Two hundred kilograms of sweet potato flour is four hundred contribution points, two hundred kilograms of sorghum flour is four hundred contribution points, one hundred kilograms of brown rice is four hundred contribution points, and fifty kilograms of wheat flour is two hundred and fifty contribution points. One hundred kilograms of rice bran and wheat bran together are worth one hundred contribution points.
Adding it all together, the total is 1,550 contribution points."
At the end of the calculation, the staff's eyes began to light up.
It's rare to find someone who can come up with so many contribution points at one time!
When the staff was calculating the bill, Feng Xiuli's eyebrows were twitching.
After hearing the last number, Feng Xiuli let out a breath and handed over the ID card, "Swipe it!"
With just a click, one thousand five hundred contribution points were swept away.
Su Nian was standing closer and saw the balance displayed on the card machine, which was about two hundred.
She had given Feng Xiuli two thousand contribution points before, but Feng Xiuli basically didn't buy anything.
I guess those 250 contribution points were just used to rent things like movable panel screws and square iron pipes.
Those things are only one or two, so the rental is certainly not expensive.
But the small building has a large area, so the demand is naturally greater, and the price naturally goes up.
Feng Xiuli put the ID card back into her pocket and looked at Su Nian, "Big sister, you guys also want to buy some food, right?"
Su Nian nodded, "Yes, but there are only two of us, so we don't need to buy too much."
In addition to wheat bran and rice bran, Su Nian asked for fifty kilograms of each, which cost a total of nine hundred and fifty contribution points.
Su Nian now has more than 10,000 contribution points on his card, and he didn't feel bad at all because he spent less than 1,000.
Bought so much food, enough for Su Nian and Jing Mo to eat for a long time.
At least that's what Feng Xiuli saw.
They bought a lot of grain, so they didn't need to find new bags to pack it. The grain in the grain store was 50 kilograms per bag, so they just took it out according to the quantity.
Food is a precious commodity now, and whole bags have to be weighed in front of Su Nian and the others.
If Su Nian and the others want to open it and take a look, that’s fine.
Generally speaking, it is best to check the grain in the grain store, because once you leave the grain store, if there are any problems with the grain, the people in the grain store will not admit it.
Feng Xiuli is a cautious person. She has to check carefully the food she bought with so many contribution points.
Su Nian didn't want to stand out from the crowd, so he checked them all.
After making sure there was no problem with the food, they loaded all the food into the truck.
Even with the help of the staff at the grain store, it still took several trips back and forth.
After everything was moved and they got into the car, Su Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, everything is done. I can go back now."
Jing Mo also smiled and said, "After we go back this time, if the sandstorm doesn't stop, we won't have to go out for a long time."
Although some of the words were not very nice to say, Su Nian still wanted to say that she was very happy to be able to stay at home openly.
On the way back, they also encountered some other cars.
In weather like this, anyone who goes out has a reason to go out.
It's not easy for anyone, so as long as we don't actually collide, it's not a big problem. If we can show mutual understanding, we can drive in a different direction and move forward in our respective directions.
Feng Xiuli and her companions' car was in front. When it arrived at the gate of the courtyard, someone got out of the car and knocked hard on the door.
In this weather, the little bell is of no use. Only by knocking on the door hard can the people inside hear the noise and come over to open the door for them.
Even so, it took several minutes for someone to finally come and open the door.
After entering the yard, Su Nian contacted Feng Xiuli using the intercom and told her about the cell phone network access.
Feng Xiuli was a little surprised because she had been staying in a small base and hadn't been online for several years.
Now when I hear that there is the Internet, how can I not be surprised?
But what follows is helplessness.
"Connecting to the internet requires contribution points. I still have some left, but we don't have cell phones!"
Feng Xiuli smiled bitterly, "After the Internet went offline, mobile phones were no longer useful, and no one cared about them.
Later, the tsunami hit and most of the things were soaked in water, including cell phones. When people were packing up, no one took their belongings with them.
Although the mobile phone is not big, it still takes up space to some extent..."
When Su Nian heard Feng Xiuli's words, he was a little surprised at first, but he soon understood.
After all, in her previous life, after the power went out, she didn't know where she threw her cell phone away, and in the nearly ten years that followed, she had never seen a cell phone before.
