Chapter 168 167. Highway Intersection

Huaiyu also became sad.

She regretted getting to the bottom of it, but Uncle Zaozi was very calm after a silence: "As for me, I used to have two children, but later I went to the wilderness... Xiaoyu, you have brought out a lot of good things, and you must know a lot of capable people."

"We have a good relationship now. If anyone I know goes to the wasteland in the future, please keep an eye out for me."

"When everything was fine before, I complained that cemeteries were too expensive, saying that death is nothing and ashes can be placed anywhere... Now that I'm older, I want to leave some memories for my children."

Huaiyu nodded seriously and promised solemnly: "Uncle Zaozi, I also have very important people in the wilderness. When I have the ability, I will go there too!"

"I'll definitely pay attention then!"

Uncle Zaozi was surprised. After all, Huaiyu looked like a skinny and weak girl, but he actually had such lofty ambitions!

No wonder they dare to live in the Rose Corridor...

He instantly gained more strength and pedaled the bike faster: "Okay! If you want anything in the future, just tell me!"

"You said that I have been in the business for so many years, and I don't know many important people, but I have a lot of other ways."

Huaiyu was not polite at all: "Then... Uncle Zaozi, do you know where to sell eggs and piglets?"

Uncle Zaozi: “…I know.”

Before Huaiyu could be surprised, he quickly said, "I can't afford it, and I can't buy it."

"Right now, resources are scarce, so they are all raised scientifically in the animal husbandry institute and will not be allocated to individuals for the time being."

"The hatching rate of eggs in the animal husbandry is guaranteed and strictly controlled. The unfertilized eggs are also specially supplied, so it's not our turn."

"It's okay if the chickens are small, because there is a certain mortality rate. It's okay to sneak them out - the price is 250 points! The risk is really great."

"If you're not keeping it in the Rose Corridor, it may not be safe."

"But piglets are not allowed! They are heavy right after they are born. You should wait a little longer. Our country is making rapid progress in people's livelihood. Maybe they will be relaxed in two or three years."

Uncle Zaozi was quite open-minded: "Think about it, compared to the six years before the disaster, isn't life getting better now?"

Huaiyu: “…”

It's difficult to answer.

Because life was hard when she woke up! Now I heard that it takes two or three years to raise a pig, and it suddenly became even harder.

As they chatted along the way, the night wind blew, the stars twinkled, and Uncle Zaozi rode for another twenty minutes, panting, and then the dilapidated highway exit appeared in front of him.

"Hey, these were all caused by the crazy growth of the surrounding grass and trees. It took a lot of effort to clean them up!"

"Fortunately, it is now passable after some repairs, otherwise we would have to go a long way around the wasteland - the national highway is even more dilapidated!"

Uncle Zaozi knew Huaiyu was here to gain some experience, so he pushed the cart and chattered, then skillfully pushed it to the grass beside him, locked it, and spread the sack on the side of the road: "Come, take a break, there's no cart yet."

Huaiyu had been riding a bicycle for more than an hour, and even though the seat had been modified, his butt was still sore.

She rubbed it secretly, and now she was strolling around:

"Are these people the same as us?"

There are many people sitting and lying on the roads on both sides of this wide highway intersection. At first glance, it looks like a small market.

The difference is that there is no one setting up stalls here, but more like scalpers lining up.

Uncle Zaozi nodded and said, "Many people haven't found a job that suits them, so they try their luck here. After a while, their eyesight improves, and they also have familiar teams, so they can still earn a little."

"After all, many small teams, or private individuals in large teams, want to get some points as soon as possible, and they rely on these people."

Uncle Zaozi used an analogy: "Look at Chen Xing. She had no experience at first and always thought she could sell at a good price."

"And you know about that pile of junk, right? If you collect it, just sell it here. Everyone gathers together to share it. The price is not high, but it can be sold out as soon as possible."

He motioned Huaiyu to look at the scattered tricycles parked around - either fuel-powered or electric, or old-fashioned pedal tricycles, which were good at carrying a lot of things.

Huaiyu looked at it eagerly and wanted to get one himself.

But when she thought carefully about the journey from the Rose Corridor to the city center, she immediately lost hope.

——You can’t ride a tricycle to the city to sell the goods, right? Her legs are broken and it’s dark. She’s probably just arrived at the market! She looked away and heard Uncle Zaozi continue:

"...In the end, she insisted on selling them herself, not even considering that she would need to rest for a long time after a trip to the wilderness...The piles of junk in your shed are the tuition fees she paid over the years."

Uncle Zaozi laughed when he said this: "There are a lot of good things in there, right?"

Huaiyu nodded happily: "Yes! There is a spatula, and a salt shaker! There is also a grater, and expired dishwashing liquid..."

There is everything, but nothing is of high quality.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Uncle Zaozi has a keen eye. If he wants to sell those things, they will be the most common second-hand goods in the market that are easiest to bargain for, and the transaction process will be very long.

But then again——

"Sister Chen Xing has been gone for a long time. Will she be back in the next few days?"

Uncle Zaozi calculated silently: "The children she takes care of are all relatively young, and generally don't want to take any special risks. Logically speaking, they should be back in about a week."

Seeing Huaiyu looking eagerly in the direction of the station, he quickly added: "But don't worry, there is no navigation now. She can afford a mobile phone, but the signal is intermittent..."

"If everything goes well, I might be back in less than a week."

"If there has been no harvest for a long time, and if there are sufficient supplies, it is normal to stay for 10 days or half a month." It is normal, but in fact, for a small team, such times are rare.

If I really stay for ten days or half a month, I'm afraid...

"Anyway, explorers are like that! High risks come with high rewards. I'll show you around tonight. I'll come back later when I'm free and let you know when there's news."

Huaiyu nodded.

At that moment, two beams of car lights shone over from the road on the other side of the station.

Huaiyu was surprised: "Uncle Zaozi! The car is coming!"

Uncle Zaozi had already turned over and climbed up from the ground, pulling his sack and running all the way - after running two steps, he found that Huaiyu had not moved yet, so he quickly turned back and dragged her forward again.

Not only him, but also the group of people who were sitting or lying lazily before were now rushing forward like the old men and women squeezing into the supermarket to grab discounted eggs.

There were defense troops stationed on the other side of the highway intersection. They waved their hands to stop the car, and the cars behind were quickly surrounded by everyone.

"It's Zhao Senlin's team—"

"Wow! They've been gone for more than half a month this time, right?"

"See so many things in the back of the car?!"

"Wow! This trip is a blessing! I guess everyone will get rich - Captain Zhao! Captain Zhao! I'm Lao Li, whom we worked with before..."

Update 2! Achievement of 30 consecutive days of updates! Oh yeah!!! Don’t invest next time, really, the investment requirements are too difficult, I have to struggle every time...

The person next door is writing furiously!
