Chapter 121: The Tavern
Before Mi Zixuan came in, he pondered that this trade market hidden in the sewer or the scale of the black market was big, but when he came in, he was surprised, only to see that the people in the market were bustling, and there were stalls everywhere that could not be seen at a glance, of course, the stalls were very simple, most of them were putting the things they wanted to sell on the ground at will, and people were sitting behind, selling all kinds of things, and buying goods were naturally dirty and smelled bad, which was also normal, and the names of human beings in the last days were not as good as ants, everyone lives in fear all day long, and worries about three meals a day, so do you have the heart to take care of yourself? Even if there is, most people don't have that condition, and the toothpaste, bath gel, and shampoo that were common in the last days are all luxuries, and they are not affordable for ordinary people at all.
And even if a survivor team finds these materials, they won't bring them back, knowing that they are luxuries, because the people in this place won't buy them at all, and the only ones who will buy these things are those safe zones, but this is too far from the safe zone, and there are either zombies or mutant beasts along the way, and no one wants to take that risk for selling some toothpaste or something, so even if everyone sees these things, they don't choose to take them, but choose to take food, water, and other things that people must use.
As a result, the vendors in this black market and the people who buy or exchange them are naturally not well dressed, and they all stink.
What surprised Mi Zixuan even more was that there was electricity here, and the electric lights were not very bright, but they were not dim, enough for lighting.
Just behind Mi Zixuan's stunned kung fu, someone said: "Brother, do you want to enter?" ”
Mi Zixuan then remembered that he was in the way, and hurriedly carried his bag of rice and walked inside, Mi Zixuan didn't really come to sell the rice he was brought, or to exchange the rice for some materials, he came to collect intelligence, about the situation in the last days, he just came to know too little about the world, too little, he needs more information.
Mi Zixuan took Mi to look left and right, and found that most people were selling either food or guns or knives, fire axes and other weapons, to nothing new, and soon Mi Zixuan found that these people were all interchangeable items, no wonder they were all in the end of the world, those banknotes used to wipe their butts were too hard, so what currency is there? All of a sudden, humanity returned to the era of barter, and civilization regressed rapidly.
Mi Zixuan walked for about ten minutes with his pocket on his back, and found a simple tavern, a woman who was slightly better dressed than others was soliciting customers at the door, the woman's face was still clean, and her appearance was also a symbol, and she kept pulling passers-by and smiled: "Uncle come in to drink bar, this store has all kinds of wine, if you don't dislike it, I can drink with you, if you need it, I can also accompany you at night." ”
In order to sell some wine, this woman even put on her own body, but this is normal, in the last days, except for those women with special abilities, or those rich people's children, women and some female scientists, women's status is the lowest, not to mention a hundred catties of rice, ten catties of rice can make a good-looking beauty recommend herself to a pillow, they really have no other ability to obtain food in addition to their own bodies, in order to survive, they can only sell their bodies, not that they are shameless, but forced by life, In this troubled world, they have no choice.
Although the woman kept trying to pull people in, none of them stayed, and many people couldn't eat and drink? What nonsense? Even those powerful and wealthy survivor squads will not come to this place to drink, not because they don't have that strength, but because the grade is too low, so the location of this tavern is embarrassing, those who have money don't come, those who don't have money don't go, and the voice is very cold.
Another person rudely pushed the woman away and walked away, the woman sighed helplessly, but soon changed her smile and wanted to pull the others, at this time Mi Zixuan suddenly walked over and said with a sip of small white teeth: "What kind of wine are there?" ”
A woman wouldn't look down on people just because Mi Zixuan was wearing dirty clothes and smelly and dirty, who in this black market except for the boss here and a few of his cronies' subordinates didn't look like this? If you can't eat, who has the heart to clean yourself up? No one has that mind.
The woman hurriedly let Mi Zixuan in, and there was a yellow-skinned man in the small hotel, who was sitting on a broken table with his head slumped, and when he saw the woman pull in a guest, he immediately ran over excitedly and said enthusiastically: "Little brother, what do you want to drink?" It's not that I'll blow it to you, but the small one has all kinds of wine. ”
Speaking of this, he whispered: "As long as you are happy, it is not a problem to let my family accompany you to the back and be happy." ”
As a man, let his wife accompany other men, which few men in the world could stand before, but in the end of the world, this yellow-faced and thin man can only do this, he has no special abilities with his wife, or because he is lucky to have some distant relatives with one of the bosses here, he can open a tavern here, or this relationship is either starved to death outside, or eaten by zombies.
Now that the tavern business is bleak like this, in order to survive, does he still care so much? A man's dignity is a fart in this last days, and it is not as affordable as a pound of rice.
Mi Zixuan didn't ask for wine generously directly, his wealth was not exposed, he was afraid that he would be too generous and cause trouble for himself, and he didn't want to be treated as a wronged boss.
Mi Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "What is the cheapest wine?" ”
When the man heard this, he immediately sighed helplessly, thinking that he could make a big deal, who thought that he would have no money, but it was better for someone to drink than no one, so he immediately changed his smile and said: "Fruit wine, ten catties of rice and a cup." ”
Mi Zixuan finally knew why no one was willing to come to this place to drink a glass, the cheapest wine is ten catties of rice, and just one cup, you must know that in the last days, ten catties of rice is five adults' rations for five days, if you are willing, you can even change to a good-looking woman, or exchange for a small number of bullets, this is a lot of wealth, just spend on a glass of broken fruit wine, it is really too worthwhile.
The man frowned when he saw Mi Zixuan, and hurriedly said: "Little brother is here for the first time, I will give you a five-percent discount, five catties of rice, it can't be cheap." ”
Mi Zixuan thought for a while and said, "You can buy a cup for five catties, but I want to ask you something." ”
The man was stunned for a moment and didn't expect the young man in front of him to inquire about the news, but for the sake of this business, he immediately said: "Okay, as long as I know, I will tell you, but there are some things to persuade the little brother not to ask, I am afraid that you will get into trouble." ”
Mi Zixuan was confused by this, but then he was relieved, he was afraid that he would find out who had rich materials, and he was going to wait for those people to go out to loot, or to find out the secrets of the black market, these men couldn't say, the former Those people were all killed after they went out, it was okay to say, if he didn't die, and he knew that he said it, would he still be better? His distant relatives couldn't protect him, and the latter was even more troublesome, and he couldn't die if he let the boss know that he had said something he shouldn't have said in the black market.
Mi Zixuan smiled: "Don't worry, you won't ask what you shouldn't ask." Speaking of this, he happily took out the rice scale and gave it to the man.
When the man saw Mi, he immediately laughed so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
Soon the man brought the wine up, and Mi Zixuan frowned after taking a sip, this wine was too unpalatable, astringent and bitter.
The man was afraid of causing Mi Zixuan's unhappiness and hurriedly said: "Little brother, you also know that it is the end of the world, the fruit wine produced in the past is not good, it is all exchanged for human life, the price is frighteningly high, I can't afford to sell it in this small shop, of course, if you want to drink, as long as you can afford food, guns, bullets, these things, I will get you in minutes." Speaking of this, he glanced at the pistol on Mi Zixuan's waist, and his eyes were full of envy.
But the man knew that he only had envy for this gun, so he rushed that he couldn't get this ability, so he continued: "Five catties of rice can only drink this kind of wine, and we brew it ourselves, and there is definitely no way to compare it with those previously produced wine, less ingredients, less equipment, no way." ”
Mi Zixuan thought about it straight, if it was really the fruit wine scavenged from the supermarket, it was all exchanged for human life, and it would definitely not be sold for a glass of hardware rice, but this broken wine is too expensive to ask for hardware rice, but anyway, he is here to find out the news, and he is not an alcoholic to anesthetize, so it is not a big deal.
Mi Zixuan smiled and said: "It's okay, let's make do with it, it's good to be able to drink a glass of wine in this unlucky world, sometimes you can't drink any special water." ”
The man laughed dryly and said: "This is the matter, this damn world just doesn't let people live, you see that we are here to open a little drunkard seems to be safe and sound, but almost every day hungry, not everyone is as powerful as the little brother, from us who drink, I see that the little brother still has a gun, it must be an extraordinary power, do you want to come to something good, I will give you a big discount, if the little brother is happy, I will let my family take you to the inside to feel comfortable." ”
Speaking of this, he threw Mi Zixuan a look that all men understand, and said with a lewd smile: "I'm not afraid of little brother jokes, my daughter-in-law has a bit of a look, but it can't be said to be too beautiful, and the girl in Wangxianglou is definitely not comparable, but if you talk about the means of serving men, I tell you that the girl in Wangxianglou is not necessarily better than my daughter-in-law, little brother can try if you don't believe it, if she doesn't serve you well, see if I don't beat her to death." ”
The man is clearly fooling his name and spending more money, so he does not hesitate to let his daughter-in-law accompany Mi Zixuan, this is the sorrow of the little people in the last days, in order to survive, he has to do humiliating things.
Mi Zixuan looked at the man and said, "Big brother, I want to ask you how to rank this supernatural person now?" "When I came in just now, I heard someone talk about second- and third-level abilities, and Mi Zixuan was more interested in this matter.
