Jiang Ning was cold and distant, and Zhong's mother would not deliberately try to get close to her and be annoying. "Okay, I'll fry your portion first, so that we don't have to fry it for too long."

Needless to say, Zhong's mother was really an expert at frying. The fried fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tasted especially delicious. Coke was so hungry

that he ran over and wagged his tail.

Jiang Ning threw a lot of fish to it, and at the same time asked Zhong's mother to fill her stomach first.

There was enough fish, and Zhong's mother ate almost two pieces before she stopped being hungry.

How long has it been since she had a full stomach? It smelled so good that I couldn't wait to swallow it.

The 18th floor was really capable, and Zhong's mother worked even harder, hoping that they could bring their own family with them in the future.

After frying seven or eight pots, the sound of the charging boat came.

Huo Yishen and others came back with oil, salt and some seasonings.

Zhang Chao smiled and said excitedly, "Aning, we got another order."

After the transaction with the sharp-mouthed monkey, he thought that if he had so many goods in hand, they would go bad sooner or later, and he had to find another way.

Zhang Chao was good at running business, so he suggested going to the department store to try his luck, maybe he could find new customers.

When he arrived at the department store, he learned that the government had introduced a new policy. In order to allow more citizens to survive, the government launched a market.

Citizens in need can come to the market to set up stalls and exchange the daily necessities they need.

The market does not charge an entrance fee, but it is not allowed to make trouble. Those who violate the law and discipline seriously will be shot.

There were a lot of people exchanging supplies, and the place was full of people, but there were very few food transactions. Almost all of them were idle items, such as clothes, shoes, bicycles, kitchen utensils, etc., and everyone wanted to exchange food without exception.

The crowd was so large that several people did not dare to take out the fish and could only look for targets secretly.

Unfortunately, except for Zhang Chao, who had sharp eyes, everyone else was blind in this regard.

The Zhong family father and son were busy with technology, and Huo Yishen was a special police officer. It was really difficult for them to find potential customers. What if they pulled a mine back?

You know, there are many people exchanging supplies at the market, but there is also no shortage of gangsters who buy for zero yuan.

They mingled in the crowd, looking for prey to attack.

So, the three of them waited in the corner, and Zhang Chao went in to dig for potential customers.

Half an hour later, he came out with two ragged men.

Father Zhong looked at them and was stunned. Wasn't this his colleague?

"Lao Gao, are you still alive?"

"Lao Zhong, are you still alive too?"

Comrades saw each other with tears in their eyes.

After all this time, it turned out that it was the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple - family members don't recognize each other.

However, now it can be a natural disaster, and although Father Zhong and Lao Gao are acquaintances, Huo Yishen and the others did not relax their vigilance at all.

"We have fish, and they have dog food."

Zhang Chao pulled Jiang Ning and hurried to report the good news, "Kola won't be hungry anymore."

The community where Lao Gao lives is a government unit housing unit. Although it is old and dilapidated, it is a good thing that they are all old neighbors, mostly middle-aged and elderly people, and there are also many young children. They went out together to look for supplies. They

acted early and were very lucky. They actually found a dog food workshop and moved back tens of thousands of kilograms of dog food.

They survived by eating dog food for the past few months.

It is true that dog food is nutritious and can resist hunger, but if you eat too much of this stuff, you will really want to vomit, so you can only come to the market to try your luck.

There are mostly wise people in the middle-aged and elderly community. They are also identifying various traders and will never act rashly.

It was a coincidence that they met each other and they met an old colleague. They were finally able to settle their fate.

After bargaining, they traded three catties of fish for one catty of dog food.

Zhong's father cursed his colleague as a fox and said with deep sorrow, "Lao Gao, you were not like this before. You have lost your conscience."

Lao Gao felt bad and said with a choked voice, "Alas, it was all because of this disaster."

Three catties of raw fish for one catty of dog food sounds like a big loss, but it is not.

Dog food can withstand hunger and is well sealed and can be stored for a long time, but fish will stink if it is not handled for two days.

Zhang Chao took out half a bag of dog food from his bag, "We have all tasted it and it tastes okay."

Jiang Ning refused to eat it and asked Coke to taste it.

Coke was disgusted in his heart, but because the shit shoveler fed him personally, he ate it with extra relish.

The dog food bag was very well sealed, and it was estimated that too much preservatives were added, so the shelf life was as long as three years.

When Zhong's mother heard about the dog food, she was also very excited.

If they really wanted to exchange it for fish, it would be enough for the family to eat for a long time.

Everyone wanted it, and Jiang Ning was no exception, especially when she heard about the frozen canned food for cats and dogs.

Her dog deserved the best.

So everyone agreed to exchange raw fish for dog food.

The old colleagues played Tai Chi to test each other, and knew that each of them had a lot of goods, so they finally decided to exchange 1,500 kilograms of raw fish for 500 kilograms of dog food.

In this way, there will not be many fish left.

But there are still plenty in the reservoir, so just catch them!

So, they packed up their things and hid the gas stove and other things again.

Several people ate the crispy fried fish, and then divided the rest.

Jiang Ning called Huo Yishen and Zhang Chao to the side, "The Zhong family has contributed a lot, how should this batch of goods be divided?" The

Zhong family is not a member of the 18th floor. Although Zhong's father and mother are pure laborers, the fishing trap was made by Zhong Ping. Without him, there would be no such a large number of fish.

Zhang Chao's brain was quick, "How about giving him a 5% share? One point is his, and half a point is his parents'."

It's not good to be too harsh, but giving too much is also not good.

Jiang Ning had no objection, "Then give him a 5% share."

He didn't have the habit of enslaving others, and he would talk things out in person.

Knowing that they could get a 5% share, the three nervous Zhong family members smiled happily, thinking that it would be good to get a share.

The trade was 1,500 kilograms, and there was probably not much left, so we just took it all.

In the darkness, the assault boat dragged the rubber boat forward in the flood.

The two parties agreed to trade on the water in a secluded suburb.

Although there were old colleagues around, Jiang Ning still had to be on guard. He told everyone to put on life jackets and hide their weapons.

As they slowly approached the trading location, Coke barked in alarm.

Jiang Ning took out a strong flashlight and found assault boats and rubber boats not far away.

The transaction had an agreement that there could not be more than six people on Lao Gao's side, one assault boat and three rubber boats. Once the number exceeded, it would be considered a violation and the transaction would be automatically canceled.

Jiang Ning checked and found that the number was correct. There were two middle-aged men and four young guys, holding iron bars in their hands, and they all looked alert.

The strong flashlight swept the surrounding water surface and found nothing suspicious.

The 1,500-jin fish is very conspicuous, but the dog food is only 500 jin, and it is heavy and not very conspicuous.

The Zhong family father and son rowed the rubber boat closer, confirmed that it was all dog food, and gestured to let Huo Yishen and others come over.

Weighing, exchanging supplies.

There are more than 1,600 jin of raw fish, but Lao Gao only took 500 jin of dog food, but they also brought 20 cans of pet frozen food, "You can try it, and you can trade with canned food next time you have goods."

Zhong's father is more inclined to dog food and scolds Lao Gao for being cunning...
