Chapter 1139: Prices Soar Again

"Hu Shao, why don't I go buy two bowls?" Seeing those people rushing to buy instant noodles, Duan Jinpeng asked tentatively.

It's no wonder that Duan Jinpeng has such a proposal, but he and Hu Mingchen have also run out of food, although instant noodles are not a good thing, and they are ridiculously expensive, but at this juncture, where can you still manage those, it is good to have something to fill your stomach.

Hu Mingchen shook his head: "Forget it, let it be given to others." ”

Looking at those who grabbed instant noodles, some of them still deducted money from their underwear purses, and Hu Mingchen was reluctant to rob them.

Hu Mingchen refused, of course, it couldn't be because he was distressed that money was too expensive, for him, not to mention twenty yuan a bowl, it was 200,000 yuan a bowl, which was not much different from twenty yuan. He gave up, really unwilling to take other people's rations.

Thinking about those boxes of instant noodles, Hu Mingchen asked for two bowls, and some people would inevitably not be able to get them. Relatively speaking, Hu Mingchen and Duan Jinpeng are both young men, and they don't eat one or two meals, and there is no problem at all.

Hu Mingchen shook his head and refused, and Duan Jinpeng had no choice but to stand still. The eldest and youngest masters can bear it, so what can't he do as a part-time worker.

Once there was a beginning, those boxes of instant noodles were sold out in about ten minutes, and in order to soak so many noodles, people only gave a little boiling water for each bowl.

Those drivers or travelers, who were like distant drivers, heard that there were instant noodles sold here, and they rushed over one by one, but they were too late and there were no more.

"No, no, come back later, go back, come back later......" Looking at so many people with money to buy noodles, the one shouted happily and waved his hand.

Seeing the empty cardboard boxes, those who didn't buy them can only return disappointed.

"Brother, how much money did you make? I didn't expect it to sell so well, nearly a hundred bowls, and it was sold out so quickly. The young man next to the big man looked at the big man with bright eyes and asked.

"Hehe, more than a thousand yuan, go, hurry back, get some later tomorrow, hurry up and pack your things and leave." He shouted and smiled and waved his hand, beckoning his younger brother.

The three of them came and left, that is, for half an hour, and they were in a hurry.

"Brother Duan, have you been a soldier before?" Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving, Hu Mingchen asked Duan Jinpeng abruptly.

"Well, I've been a car soldier for a few years, Mr. Hu, what's wrong?" Duan Jinpeng couldn't understand why Hu Mingchen suddenly asked him this question.

"Auto soldiers are also soldiers, so I'll assign you a task now. Hu Mingchen said.

"What task? I promise to get it done. Since he mentioned being a soldier, Duan Jinpeng took on the posture of a soldier and said.

"If you follow them, if they can sell instant noodles like this, there must be a big village or market town around here. Hu Mingchen commanded.

Duan Jinpeng patted his head: "Yes, Hu Shao, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you." ”

Duan Jinpeng thought that Hu Mingchen was asking him to buy some food alone, and he was a little happy.

"I want to eat hot pot, can you get it? I let you go, not to let you buy me food, but to let you know the situation, so many people are blocked here, if you don't make some preparations in advance, there will be problems. After Hu Mingchen said a word to Duan Jinpeng angrily, he gave him a brief explanation.

Choked by Hu Mingchen, Duan Jinpeng was honest, put away his smiling face, and after saying hello to Hu Mingchen, he hurriedly climbed over the high-speed guardrail and followed behind the three people.

The four fields are vast, pure white, the cold wind is howling, and the ice is pressing. Even if you are walking in the field, you will fall if you don't pay attention. And, before long, the ears and face will be red from the cold, as if they would fall from their heads at any moment.

After Duan Jinpeng followed, Hu Mingchen also hurried back to the car and wrapped the blanket around his body.

Hu Mingchen came from Pengcheng in the south, and when Hu Mingchen left, it was still early spring weather in his early twenties, so Hu Mingchen was not very thickly dressed. Even if he is in good physical condition, he still feels a little cold in this weather of at least minus seven or eight degrees. Because of this, Hu Mingchen arranged for Duan Jinpeng to follow him, instead of going into battle in person.

If the surrounding villages or market towns are far away from the highway, then Hu Mingchen's thin clothes will not be able to bear it.

Hu Mingchen would order Duan Jinpeng to take such a task, but he really didn't think about it purely for himself. The instant noodles brought by those three people seemed to be a lot, but they could only satisfy the appetite of the 100 people, compared to the thousands of people blocking this road, and that instant noodles were just a drop in the bucket.

As time passed, if there were no reinforcements coming in, the cold and lack of food would cause many people here to fall, and that was a situation that Hu Mingchen did not want to see.

Hu Mingchen waited in the car for about two hours, and Duan Jinpeng, who received the task, came back in embarrassment.

said that he was embarrassed, not only did he not have anything to eat in his hands, but also his clothes were almost wet, and his hair felt frozen into ice ballast, just after sitting in the car, Hu Mingchen could still hear his cold and shivering teeth.

"You can turn up the heater a little more and don't get sick with a cold. Seeing Duan Jinpeng's embarrassed appearance, Hu Mingchen said with concern.

Duan Jinpeng didn't care if he would waste gasoline now, he only knew that he had to hurry up to drive away the cold, otherwise, no matter how good his health was, he would not be able to bear it.

After a few minutes, Duan Jinpeng eased up, and Hu Mingchen asked about the harvest he had followed.

"It's a small village close to us, two or three kilometers apart..... But the village is a bit small, just seven or eight families. However, about ten kilometers away is a larger village called Guanbao Village, and there is a shop in the village, and the goods of the three people came out of that shop...... I followed, thinking that I had found a shop, and I was going to bring you something to eat, but I didn't know that they didn't sell my ..... at all."

"Don't sell you?" asked Hu Mingchen suspiciously.

"yes, everything you can eat in the store is sold to those three people. ”

"It seems that they are going to come to the side of the highway to make some foreign money, and they can sell it at a high price if they change hands, how can they sell it to you. I think that this time they come again, I'm afraid instant noodles won't be available for 20 yuan. Hu Mingchen said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Hu, you are really like a god, I heard them say when I was on the road, this time if you bring it again, instant noodles will cost 50 yuan a bowl, and 20 yuan is not in people's eyes.

"Fifty? They plan to sell a bowl of noodles for fifty? This is simply a lucrative robbery. Hu Mingchen thought that they would increase the price again, his face was not very good-looking, and he felt that it was a bit too much, which was basically a break in unity.

"Well, that's what they said, after all, everything they could eat in that store was sold to them, and they had the confidence to do so. Duan Jinpeng said.

It's freezing on this day, and people are willing to sell that bit of food here, the price is a little more expensive, Hu Mingchen can understand, after all, it's not easy. But after only more than two hours, the other party planned to sell a bowl for fifty yuan, which was really a bit excessive.

This is simply a blackmail to make a fortune in the country, and it is simply a blackmail to take advantage of the danger of others.

"You rest a little longer, and when you're fully recovered, you can take me to that little village. Hu Mingchen stared at the small village that was invisible behind the mountain.

After another period of time, Hu Mingchen and Duan Jinpeng hadn't set off yet, the three people came back, and this time their team was a little bigger, there were five people coming, in addition to the three people just now, there were also two old men in their sixties.

One by one, they were either dressed in military coats or wrapped in thick cotton jackets.

As soon as those people reached the side of the highway, they put down their baskets and baskets, and hurriedly set up stalls, intending to sell things.

Perhaps since they left, drivers and passengers on the highway have been watching and expecting them to come. So before the things they had brought were laid out, the doors of the cars opened, and people swarmed to where they were.

"Boss, boss, bring me a bowl of instant noodles, hurry up and get a bowl. A middle-aged man rushed to them and couldn't wait to say loudly.

"Okay, fifty yuan, will you just need a bowl?" said the man who shouted in the morning.

"Isn't it only twenty in the morning, how can it rise to fifty yuan a bowl in a blink of an eye, you guys are too unkind. I heard that the price had risen so much, and the middle-aged man who wanted to pay for it was also stunned.

"Fifty isn't too expensive, at least you can still buy it, and it's a fair price compared to those who have money and nowhere to spend it. The man didn't care whether the other party bought it or not, but said with confidence.

That's also, now they are doing a monopoly of their own business, and there are no other competitors at all, so they have nothing to fear.

Think about so many people who don't have anything to eat, and the things they bring are not very much, anyway, if you don't buy it, someone else will naturally buy it, it's not a big deal, isn't that how you survive in the morning.

"Boss, do you have cookies? I don't like instant noodles. A middle-aged woman asked.

"Yes, a box of sixty biscuits. The man gestured with his hand to an air number of six.

"Is there any mistake, what biscuits are so expensive...... "Hearing that the biscuits are sold for sixty yuan, the woman was also surprised, "A box of biscuits costs sixty, which is a bit outrageous." ”

"Hehe, it's not that biscuits are expensive, it's that your stomachs are expensive. If you want to have it now, maybe you'll be eighty in a while, and you won't have it if you want to buy it. The big man ridiculed Hu Mingchen casually and said, "If you want to buy it, buy it quickly, it's too late, there will be no more biscuits, sixty biscuits, forty pieces of ham sausage, everyone buy it quickly." ”
