The first is free food, which is purchased by the community and distributed by volunteers for free. However, these special dishes are generally only distributed to the elderly or poor households who cannot afford to procure, and the existing resources and efforts cannot cover the whole city.

That's why the crowd asked where the food they donated went.

The daily consumption of dozens of designated hospitals is astronomical, plus the assistance of community residents, and finally some of them are put into the market to stabilize prices.

The leaders above were heartbroken about these things, but they publicized too little to the outside world, and it was inevitable that they would be misunderstood by many people, and even maliciously interpreted by people with ulterior motives.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people are not clean with their hands and feet or do not do a good job when they only execute, but we cannot go into details here.

The second is affordable dishes, the main body is a large supermarket or a large e-commerce platform, the price is good and the quality is good, but it is generally more than 50 or even 100 copies of the group purchase volume before it is delivered, and someone has to organize group purchases and collect money in advance.

And they only deliver goods outside the entrance of the community, which is not operable for the old community and the elderly at all. Even if the group is formed, there is a high risk of contagion due to large crowds gathering at the time of distribution.

The third type is expensive dishes, and some street shops will take advantage of the supervision and inspection staff to deliver them at night after work.

The price of this kind of vegetable is much more expensive than that of supermarkets, and some black-hearted traders dare to sell the price of cabbage for more than ten yuan a catty, and ordinary cabbage can be sold for eight or nine yuan a catty.

The advantage of this model is that these stores are usually located in or near the community, and they can be delivered to the community, and residents can buy them downstairs.

Although countless people complain about the high price of food, it is the most convenient and safest procurement channel for them at the moment.

In particular, the old and small communities that cannot organize group buying are almost the only way for them to make a living.

Not to mention whether those vegetable sellers have made a fortune or not, it is countless such small shop owners who get up early and stay late to support the stability of the lives of various communities.

The fourth is sky-high prices, when an area can neither form a group purchase nor a lack of street stores, there are people who really make a fortune to cut into this empty market.

They will come up with a variety of purchase packages, which are three or five times the price before the holiday or even more.

They can form small groups through WeChat applets, group solitaire and other ways to deliver to the nearest home, and powerful people even pass through the blockade area to deliver to their doorsteps.

Most of the sky-high prices that are rumored on the Internet are also due to them.

The cautious person also marked you with an organic vegetable black soil pig or something, and the person who was brave and fat dared to directly mark the price, anyway, if you don't buy his food, you have no choice, either wait to die or can only drink the northwest wind to survive.

What's even more odious is that in this case, there are scammers who come out to eat human blood steamed buns, and their main targets are the elderly who have no experience in online shopping.

They lure them into the bait with the advantages of parity and door-to-door delivery, and disappear after collecting the money, and many elderly people have been deceived.

Li understood that he said a lot in one breath, and his fat body was already a little panting.

"The reason why I am in such a hurry to go back is to ensure the supply of living materials for these related communities and help Jiangcheng stabilize the people's hearts.

Once I was blocked from serving for a few days, expensive dishes, sky-high prices, and even scammers would quickly infiltrate them, which would cause great harm to the community. ”

Zhang Xinhuo was dumbfounded, this was probably the most detailed and accurate news of the price of vegetables he had heard so far.

No wonder Fanghua fast food restaurant has no money to earn 16 yuan a piece for medical and nursing meals, this is still because she has found a relatively cheap purchase channel, if she buys expensive vegetables in the community or even sky-high prices, she will have to pay to death.

Zhang Xinhuo said: "So Mr. Li, you belong to the third type of people?"

Li Mingming smiled awkwardly, "I can only belong to the third type, but I don't do this to make money."

In Zhang Xinhuo's puzzled eyes, Li Mingtong turned on the narration mode again.

"My hotel and the nearby community are old neighbors, and I wanted to contribute to them.

Therefore, the price of my food is only slightly more expensive than that of large supermarkets, and the difference in price is paid to employees.

They all get up early and are greedy for darkness, and they are busy for more than ten hours a day, which is really very hard, and I can't let them work in vain. ”

The more than 40 employees in his hotel only sleep four or five hours a day, barely enough to supply three communities.

"I understand that I can't ask for the people's lives, and I can't share the country's worries. But I feel like I have a clear conscience about the people in these communities.

I also know that no one is born to give to others for free, and I think this is the salary that my employees deserve.

They can't be allowed to fight for their lives, risk being infected, seven days a week, and end up hungry. ”

Zhang Xinhuo chased after him and asked, "I'm afraid it's more than that, right?"

Li Mingtong was a little surprised why he asked so clearly, but he didn't hide it anymore.

"In every community, there are twenty or thirty households of elderly people who are subsistence allowance or have little difficulty in moving, and for various reasons, I will take care of those who cannot be taken care of by the organization.

These elderly people are basically cooked by my hotel and given to them for free, once a day, three meals at a time, and they can eat it with a little heat. ”

Zhang Xinhuo looked at Li Mingtong with admiration in his eyes, and exclaimed: "Mr. Li, I am ashamed of your feat. ”

He personally walked over to help Li Mingming remove the thorn strip on his back.

During the epidemic in Jiangcheng, he also saw many evil people, but he saw more good people, ordinary and great people.

There are many people who should be guilty of pleading to the people, but by no means including Li Mingzhi.

Li understood that he didn't expect that his words would make Zhang Xinhuo completely let go of his prejudices against him, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, aren't you afraid that I am lying to you?"

Zhang Xinhuo said indifferently: "No matter how a person hides it, his eyes will never deceive people." Your eyes are filled with sincerity, kindness, anxiety, eagerness, but there is no deception. I believe in you!"

The simple four words made Li understand and stiffen.

"I believe in you!"

What a precious language, what a strong trust.

Since the day of the lockdown, he has been worried every day, afraid of being discovered by inspections, afraid of being bullied by black-hearted peers, and at the same time being accused of making black money by some people while eating food.

He carried the weight forward, but no one justified him.

He gave with all his heart, but someone always stabbed him.

He never expected that it was the person who was going to bear the blame for him who understood him, recognized him, and believed in him best.

Li Mingming raised his fat face to the sky, trying not to let tears well-up in his eyes.

No matter how he endured it, Zhang Xinhuo could still clearly see that his body was shaking, and the fat on his face was also shaking.

Men don't flick when they have tears, and they hold back when they want to cry.

This is his responsibility, this is his strength.

Zhang Xinhuo comforted: "In this way, you deal with the delivery problem tonight first, decide whether to send it or not, and I will accompany you to the police station early tomorrow morning to deal with this matter." ”
