Chapter 204 Double The Price Of Food
Jing Mo thought about it seriously, and then said solemnly, "Not yet.
But it's okay, just wait for me to practice. "
Su Nian, "..."
Although Jing Mo said it seriously, Su Nian wanted to laugh when he heard it.
After the two talked for a while, Feng Xiuli's voice came out from the intercom, "Big sister, are you ready? I have brought people to the door."
"Wait for us in two minutes, we'll be here."
When Su Nian spoke, Jing Mo had already put on the goggles and mask.
Su Nian put on his glasses again, and the two went out together.
This was the first time the two of them opened the door to go out since they came back last time.
As soon as the door of the living room was opened, the gust of wind swept in with sand and dust.
Su Nian and Jing Mo who stood at the door were the first to bear the brunt.
Fortunately, the two of them were well equipped, and they would never be as embarrassed as last time.
Going out of the living room, Su Nian got into the car directly, while Jing Mo locked the door of the living room before sitting in the driver's seat.
They were relatively close to the gate, and a minute later, their car drove to the gate.
Su Nian used the walkie-talkie to contact Feng Xiuli. After a while, someone got out of the car and opened the gate.
Feng Xiuli said on the intercom that they came here specially to look at the door, and a car will come by in a while, and it will stop at the closest position to the door, so that they can open the door for them when they come back.
Hearing Feng Xiuli's words, Su Nian felt that the communication should be restored.
With mobile communication, at least there is no need to wait at the door for someone to open the door.
These two walkie-talkies, within a certain range, communication is not hindered.
The two cars drove very slowly, heading towards the intermediary center where the house was located.
That street is a relatively lively place. There are not only intermediary centers, but also exchange centers, as well as grain stores and convenience service halls.
Su Nian has heard people say that paying electricity bills, connecting to the Internet, and paying Internet fees are all handled at the convenience service hall.
Feng Xiuli and the others 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 walkie-talkie was still usable. Knowing that Feng Xiuli and the others had successfully entered the house, Su Nian felt relieved.
Su Nian just played
After getting off the intercom, Jing Mo said, "Sit here and wait, I'll ask."
Before Su Nian could answer, Jing Mo had already opened the door and walked out.
After the door was closed, the sound outside could not be heard at all, Su Nian could only vaguely see that Jing Mo had already 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 Jing Mo said 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 and leave, and raised the window again.
In just a short while, there was another layer of sand on Su Nian's body and the inside of the car.
Su Nian only glanced at it, then looked away directly, as if he couldn't see it.
Dirty is dirty, but there is absolutely no need to clean it up.
Otherwise, after a lot of hard work, it will be cleaned up, and once the door is opened, it will be restored to its original state.
After waiting for five or six minutes, Su Nian saw Jing Mo come out.
As soon as Jing Mo got into the car, he took out a few cards from his pocket.
"Your and my identity cards are already connected, scan this with your mobile phone, enter the identity code and initial password to go online.
You can pay the fee online, and you can also go through the Internet connection. After returning home, ask Sister Feng if they want to use the Internet. "
Su Nian gave a thumbs up to Su Nian, "It's great! It's done very well!
Next, let's go to the grain store! How much is still necessary to buy some food for show. "
There is endless food in Su Nian's space, but Feng Xiuli and the others don't know it!
If they didn't buy it, and the sandstorm never ended, Feng Xiuli must be worried that they would run out of food.
Their car had just stopped at the entrance of the grain store, and Feng Xiuli and the others also drove over.
This time, Su Nian got out of the car with Jing Mo, and Feng Xiuli got out of the car with two people.
Several people arrived at the door of the grain store together.
The rolling shutter door of the grain store was pulled down more than half, and a heavy curtain was hung inside to keep out the wind and sand.
Several people pulled up the shutter door a little, opened the cotton curtain and quickly stepped in.
Although the movement was very fast, the wind and sand still blew into the house.
The people who were standing in the room turned their backs at the same time and closed their eyes.
After a while, the dust
It fell, and the room was clear again.
Su Nian and Jing Mo had been to the grain store before, so they were quite familiar with it.
At this time, there were not only the staff of the grain store in the room, but also people who came to buy grain like Su Nian and the others.
A man looked towards Su Nian and Jing Mo. After seeing Su Nian and Jing Mo's outfits, he immediately became interested.
"You guys have good equipment! Do you have any extra? Why don't you sell me a set?"
Jing Mo directly refused, "There is nothing extra."
Hearing this, the man's expression became extremely regretful, but he didn't bother too much, and turned to look at the staff behind the counter.
"Your food prices have doubled compared to before, isn't that too much? Is this the price you raised yourself, or did the base make it go up?"
The man's voice seemed to be full of momentum.
But the staff was not afraid at all, and the voice of the answer was neither humble nor overbearing.
"I'm just working for the base, so how can I raise the price myself? Of course, the base asked me to raise the price.
Don't you have a cell phone? Don't you want to read the news on the official website?
What's the situation now? Sandstorm! Who knows when this sandstorm will stop?
After so many days, the crops in the field must have been affected. Who knows how much food will be produced by then?
Food prices have only doubled now, and if the sandstorm lasts for another half a month or a month, it would be normal for them to double or triple. "
When the staff first started to speak, they were full of confidence, because they were very unhappy to be suspected of raising prices privately.
But when it came to the end, the tone of the staff was also a little worried.
As he himself said, he is a part-time worker for the base. Even if he can buy food at a lower price than the average person, it is not too much cheaper.
If the price of food really doubles or triples, then we can only live by tightening our belts.
The man who bought the food was silent for a long time before he said in a muffled voice, "Then give me ten catties of sweet potato noodles, and another ten catties of brown rice!"
"Two contribution points per catty for sweet potato noodles, four contribution points per catty for brown rice, a total of 60 contribution points."
The man silently took out his ID card and swiped the contribution points first, then the staff took the cloth bag handed over by the man and began to fill it with food.
