Catastrophe

Because the joint defense team conducted a surprise inspection of the sorting plant, Cao Xinglong's birthday lunch, everyone ate, and when Fatty Li was released, after the joint defense team ripped off the seal, it was time to start work in the afternoon. , The crowd also brought the meals packaged by the restaurant back to the sorting plant, and sat in the office for a simple birthday party.

"Oh, what's going on with you guys today, why did you order so many dishes?" Fatty Li looked at the six dishes and one soup on the table, his flesh aching: "In recent days, prices have been rising like crazy. We have to save some money, you guys are good, it's too extravagant! We are not big bosses, so what is it about birthdays, how about cooking noodles and putting a poached egg?"

"Brother Li, you're too stingy, aren't you? You're all buddies, what can you eat and drink!" Shangguan Xiaohu gnawed at the pig's trotter in his hand, and said disapprovingly, "No matter how high the price rises, let's Isn’t there still business in here, the dock handling line in the west area, plus the sorting factory and garment factory in the south area, can we still starve to death?”

"Although that's what you said, it doesn't make sense. If we save money, we can do a bigger business, and if we do a bigger business, we can make more money! But when food is eaten, only We can turn into Baba! We don’t farm the land, what’s the use of Baba? And the price of food has gone up really ridiculously recently. I just moved into the city... When I first moved to Nancheng District, the grain cost 51 catties per piece, now what? It has only been less than a month, and today it has risen to 6 yuan! It has quadrupled! I heard that due to the war, many transport convoys in refugee areas have been blocked, resulting in insufficient material supply So in the short term, the price of food has to go up, and I heard that it might be ten times higher!" Fatty Li was babbling when he saw Lin Bao wiping his mouth with toilet paper, and he babbled again: "Oh, there are more You, when wiping your mouth, just tear a small piece of paper! What are you doing with folding it? What a waste of paper?"

Lin Bao was speechless: "Brother Li, I'm not food, so what?"

Fatty Li responded without hesitation: "Isn't money buying toilet paper? You waste two sheets today, and four sheets tomorrow, adding up to ten to one hundred, one hundred to one thousand... rounded up, that's one hundred million! One hundred million Change two hundred million, two hundred million to four hundred million! If this waste continues, our business will be dragged down by you! This will affect the overall economic environment of Nancheng District. When the impact is further expanded, then the entire economic system of Fort 87 will be It will collapse! When the civil strife begins, the fortress will be gone! If the fortress is gone, there will be a war, and the whole country will be in chaos once a war is fought..."

Lin Bao looked stunned, and fell into deep self-doubt: "Just a piece of paper, why do I feel that it is easy to cause the destruction of the world?"

"hey-hey!"

Next to him, Cao Xinglong picked his teeth and sat watching the excitement.

Fatty Li turned his head again: "And you! Can't you wait until you finish eating before picking your teeth? After a while, look at how many toothpicks you have used? I didn't tell you, you wasted five toothpicks today. , then tomorrow is..."

"brush!"

Cao Xinglong and Fatty Li looked at each other and took off the hearing aids from his ears very wisely, feeling that the whole world was quiet.

Shangguan Xiaohu finished eating the pig's trotter, then stretched out his hand and tore off a chicken leg. He looked at Ning Zhe with a mouth full of oil and asked, "Brother Zhe, have you noticed that Brother Li is a little weird today?"

"The stress response, he was frightened after being taken away by the joint defense team. He needs to have an outlet to express his fear." Ning Zhe replied softly, and then looked at Fatty Li: "Hey, food prices are It's so high, have you stocked up yet?"

Fatty Li nodded: "Saved! You told me when you were at the West Wharf earlier that prices were going to rise, so I bought half a bag of rice, a bag of millet, and two bags of cornmeal and saved it!"

Ning Zhe blinked: "Then do you think that the food is enough for so many of us? Don't forget, except for the few of us, we are also responsible for the food that A Long and A Bao brought to help those friends. !"

"Oh! How could I forget about this!" Fatty Li slapped his thigh, picked up the truck key on the table, and hurriedly walked out the door: "No, I can't eat it, I have to take advantage of the food. If the price has not risen to the top, save some more food, otherwise we will spend a lot of money if it drags on for another day!"

"Brother Li, will you go after you finish eating?" Lin Bao shouted while holding the toilet paper in his hand.

"Don't eat it! Food is so expensive, I can save more money by eating one less bite!" Fatty Li threw a word and disappeared at the door in an instant.

"Oh, I'm going, it's finally clean!" Cao Xinglong was relieved when he saw Fatty Li leaving, and put on the hearing aid again: "Eat, eat!"

Ning Zhe lost his appetite as he looked at the three devoured dragons, tigers and leopards, as well as the delicious food on the table. According to Fatty Li, the food in the city had already risen to six yuan a pound. It would be even more difficult. Ning Zhe looked at the time. Although it was Sunday, he still walked outside the door and walked around to dial the phone number of the guard post.

Zhang Fang's voice quickly came out: "Hello, A Zhe?"

Ning Zhe knew that the long-term call at the police post would attract the attention of the telecommunication agencies in the city, so he didn't exchange any greetings, and asked bluntly, "I just heard that the price of food in the city has doubled, how is it outside the city?"

"As usual, you also understand the life outside the city. No matter when the refugees arrive, the supplies they receive are the same, a potato, a bean cake, and a liter of water every day." Zhang Fang knew what Ning Zhe wanted to hear. , and did not go around the corner: "The rations of our law enforcement posts are regularly supplied by the fortress. I occasionally bring some vegetables to Lin Xun and the others in private, but in order not to attract attention, the amount should not be too much. They already have it now. The three shops, and the original prostitution kiln of Heiqi, are now in their hands. There are no major problems in life. You don't have to worry about this~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ning Zhe finally felt at ease after hearing this answer. Some: "I'm currently in the city and I've stabilized my pace, can I find a way to send you some supplies out? "

Zhang Fang sighed: "No fun, our usual supplies are all dispatched by the management center and issued by the material department, and personal belongings are not allowed. This is also a means of preventing smuggling, and I can only wait for me to go to the city to report my work. Only then can I bring some private goods out.”

Ning Zhe continued to ask, "Isn't it true that things in the city were smuggled into refugee areas in the past? What channels did they use?"

Zhang Fang explained: "Smuggling outside the city is usually done by people from the Material Department. This is a cake that belongs to them, and outsiders will not be allowed to interfere. If there is no relationship with the Material Department, it is difficult to transport things out. And smuggling is a serious crime, and the people in the material department will not risk cooperating with other people in the fortress, and they are doing their own business, so you want to send things out, which is not realistic. "

"If that's the case, I'll ask you to take care of Lin Xun and the others." After Ning Zhe heard Zhang Fang's words, he didn't ask any further questions. He didn't even go into the administrative district now, so naturally he couldn't get in touch with the people from the Material Department. Knowing why, he always felt that Zhang Duo had this kind of channel, but from the bottom of his heart, he didn't completely trust Zhang Duo, and he didn't want to tell him that he still had a group of brothers in the refugee area, because once he did this Now, there will be more and more soft underbelly being caught. 0divdiv
