A city in Guangdong Province.

The southern climate is warm in mid-March, and although it is evening, it is a good time for those who live here to go out, and the temperature is suitable, so it is perfect for shopping, eating, walking and chatting.

However, in recent days, the streets have gradually become deserted, and today it is even more extreme, and 70% of the shops on the streets are not open.

Not only are most of the shops closed, but there are also far fewer pedestrians walking on the streets, and the occasional passers-by are walking very fast, and people seem to be deliberately keeping a little distance from each other.

Many people wear masks, but most of them are cheap disposable masks and cotton medical masks, which were popular in the last century, and people hope that they will help protect them from the spreading virus outside, but they don't know that they are really useless against the virus.

However, even such masks are sold out.

On the side of the cold street, there is only one pharmacy that has a very good business, and there is a long queue at the door, but although this long line is long, the density is not large, and everyone automatically keeps a certain distance from the people queuing up before and after. There is a huge red poster posted at the door, which reads: Banlangen is the latest arrival, only 120 yuan / package, the quantity is limited, welcome to buy!

The crowd in line was all rushing to Banlangen.

Originally, everyone wanted to rush in and rush in to buy it, but two clerks wearing masks kept blocking and making strong demands, so these people lined up.

Similar situations are common in Guangdong Province, in neighboring provinces, and even in all parts of the country, people know that the virus is coming, and they are all scared, and now the only thing that can bring them a sense of security is those rumors that can resist the virus.

A middle-aged woman walked out of the pharmacy, holding a pack of banlan root in her hand, happy and distressed.

I am happy because this powder is said to be able to prevent that kind of infectious disease, but the distressing thing is that this thing is more than 20 times more expensive than the usual price, and in the past, such a large bag was sold for five yuan, and now it will cost 120 yuan.

She was lucky, she was the first in line, no matter what, she had already bought a box, and she was relieved a lot, there were 25 small packets in a large package of banlangen, she thought that she and her husband and children had one pack a day, which was only enough for eight days, and she still had to find a way to buy a little more.

At this time, the people who were still queuing outside saw her coming out with Banlangen, and asked her from afar: "May I ask, does this store have a lot of stock?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "I don't know too much, but I heard them say that it doesn't seem to be much, so each person is only allowed to buy one pack, and you have to look at your ID card." ”

"What? I want to see my ID card?" the woman who asked her suddenly became anxious, and many other people in line stomped their feet in a hurry: "I don't have my ID card, what should I do?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, just leave an ID number without your ID card, and people have to register." ”

The others finally breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for the fact that this store had Banlangen, who would have risked queuing up on the street, and if they couldn't buy it, they would really have the heart to cry.

The entire province of Guangdong has long been in this panic.

Before today, there have been various rumors of infectious atypical pneumonia in Guangdong Province, and all kinds of rumors have been transferred and reprocessed countless times, and they have been spread a little evil, and they have always made people panic, and today, things seem to have risen to a new level, because YY released a blockbuster news today, so that everyone really realizes that the epidemic is coming, and it is menacing, and even HO has issued a global warning, this is the World Health Organization, and the Chinese people have always had an inexplicable sense of authority for the organization headed by the "world".

Therefore, today's wave of rushing to buy related materials in Guangdong Province is more ferocious, and the price increase of the store is also inhumane.

There was a middle-aged man in the team who said that one hundred and two is good, he lives in the next district a few kilometers away, and the pharmacy downstairs of their house sells one hundred and five and has been robbed, he has no choice but to run here on a motorcycle to try his luck, but he didn't expect that there are goods here, and the price of one hundred and two is fair.

Also.

When other people heard this, they were relieved a lot, a bowl of rice is not worth three or five cents, but when they are about to starve to death, they don't feel distressed when they eat three or five hundred, commodity is such a law, everyone is not short of it, you won't buy a dime a ton, when everyone is short of it, you still have to line up to send money for a dollar and a gram.

After the first middle-aged woman who bought Banlangen came out, two more people walked out with a large bag of Banlangen, and the crowd in line asked the same question again and got the same answer.

The middle-aged man who came over on a motorcycle sighed again: "Oh, this store really has a conscience, it is much stronger than those pharmacies in our district, and the pharmacies over there in our house are eager to sell out and collect money and close their doors, so some people ask for more than ten or twenty packs in one go, and they sell them correctly, but no one else can buy them!" My wife is, I heard that there is a pharmacy and Banlangen, I went to line up early in the morning, and after queuing for more than an hour, I saw that she was about to line up, but a guy took the remaining 30 or so bags in one go! In the end, she didn't even buy a small bag, she was really angry!"

As soon as he said this, the people around him also nodded.

An old man sighed: "In these years, there are too many profiteers, too few businessmen with discipline, and it is indeed too rare to have a store that can sell in limited quantities and buy one pack per person at this time, and their prices are cheap, only selling 120, which is indeed very conscientious." ”

"Hey!" a woman sighed: "Now the price of everything is rising, masks usually want to pay a dime, and now they are all sold for more than two yuan, the 84 disinfectant is even worse, it is out of stock, I originally wanted to buy some 84 to disinfect the home, but I couldn't buy it everywhere, and finally I could only buy two bottles of white vinegar, which is expensive! Two bottles of white vinegar cost me one hundred and one!"

"Don't mention white vinegar, our family is too, boiling white vinegar in a kettle, the vinegar smell in a room!

An aunt hurriedly said: "Oh, sister, you don't understand, white vinegar kills germs by that vinegar smell, if you breathe more white vinegar boiling water vapor, the germs in your body will be killed!"

"Is it so godly?" someone was obviously skeptical, and said: "If you say that 84 can be disinfected, I will definitely admit it, after all, it is a serious 800 disinfectant, but this white vinegar ...... If it can be sterilized, why can't soy sauce?"

"You don't understand, right!" The aunt said seriously: "The two people downstairs in my house are doctors, and they said, what is the ingredient of acetic acid in vinegar, it can really be sterilized, you eat fried pho outside, and some particular shopkeepers have put chopsticks in vinegar to soak sterilization and disinfection, but now vinegar is too expensive, and it is estimated that no one will do this." ”

"Oh......" The man who was originally a little skeptical nodded, and said, "It seems that there is such a thing, and I remembered it as soon as you said that." ”

At this moment, there was an angry roar from the store: "I lost my mother, I have money to buy more, why don't you sell it, I lose it!"

The female clerk tried her best to explain something, but her voice was too low to be heard clearly outside.

Bang!

Something in the pharmacy was broken, and the angry roar in the store came out again: "Isn't it money, Lao Tzu has money, why don't I give you more money?

As soon as these words came out, the outside suddenly exploded.

Someone with a temper yelled, "Hey, it's great to be rich? Everyone is waiting in line, why do you buy them all? Besides, it's too immoral for people like you to raise prices!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a meaty face came out of the pharmacy, and pulled out a stack of 100 yuan in cash from the leather bag he was holding under his armpit, and said to the man: "Is it illegal to buy things? Lao Tzu is rich, you can manage it? I don't steal two, I don't rob, I don't cheat, I don't cheat, why do you yell at me when I buy things with cash? And say that I raise the price? Please don't be so self-righteous, I came to make it all inclusive, and I coaxed a chicken feather! You guys hurry up and disperse, I want all the banlangen here today. ”

After that, the middle-aged man turned around and slapped a stack of banknotes on the cash register, and shouted loudly: "This is 20,000 yuan, how much stock do you still have in the store, take it all out to me, if the money is not enough, I will call someone to send it over now, my family has a big business, there are many relatives in the family, buy it back as tea!"

"You ......"

"This ......"

Not only was the shouting person outside stunned, but even the cashier girl was stunned.

Although this guy is arrogant, he is not wrong, he has money, he is willing to pay a high price, who can stop him? The police are still justified when they come, besides, most of the people in the queue are women, only a few men, this man who is shouting with him, he does not dare to continue to quarrel with him, if he really starts, he will definitely not be able to take any advantage, besides, this person really looks like a local tyrant, ordinary people are afraid that they can't afford to provoke him.

Therefore, everyone's hope can only be pinned on the salesperson.

They hope that the salesperson can maintain the discipline of their store, and say that one person is limited to one pack, that is, one person is limited to one pack, and if they say 120, it is 120.

However, at this time, the salesman was also a little dumbfounded, and she resignedly said: "Big brother, I have to ask our boss ......"

The meat-faced man nodded immediately, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and said, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." ”

At this time, several women outside suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly said, "Little girl, it's too much for you to temporarily raise the price, right?"

The girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you also saw it, we didn't want to temporarily increase the price, but this guest wanted to increase the price to buy ......"

"That's not going to work!" the woman was not pleased, and said, "You have done this, what will we do who have been waiting in line for a long time?"

The girl said very politely: "After all, we are in business, and we want to make more money by taking such a big risk to open the business, so please be considerate." ”

Reasonable, reasonable, and reasonable, this polite refusal makes others feel as if they are punching cotton in a way that is more depressing than hitting iron......
