Chapter 44: Hate

Although he didn't sleep all night, with his physical fitness, Luo Yuan was still in good spirits, and after breakfast, he took the money out of the community and began to step around.

He quickly asked where the nearby grain market was.

The grain market has a large flow of people, but the spacious layout and dense stalls make it not crowded, Luo Yuan walked in and took a look, and Donghu City also set the highest transaction volume here, but the amount of the transaction is far more than that, no identity certificate is required, each person can buy fifty catties of grain each time.

It can be seen that there is no shortage of grain in Hedong City, which is naturally due to the policy bias of the provincial capital, and a large amount of grain reserves are given priority to Hedong City. But the biggest reason is that there is one of the largest war-ready grain bases in the province.

The whole market is filled with an unpleasant smell of mildew, and some of the old grains are even more than ten years old, which used to be used only as raw materials for feed, but now they have become a life-saving food that people are flocking to.

And one pound of grain stamps refers to these old grains, and the price of new grain is 1.5 times that of old grain.

According to the propaganda on the walls of the grain market, this war food is enough to feed three million people for a year. Of course, the government's propaganda and reality may be discounted, but it is still possible for at least three million people to eat it for half a year.

In addition to these, to Luo Yuan's surprise, there was corn on one of the large stalls!

Of course, what surprised Luo Yuan was not the corn before the mutation, but the fresh corn that was picked recently.

Each of these corns is more than two feet long, and the grains are as full as jade, exuding a strange sweet fragrance, which makes people can't help but babble, but the crowd is more lively, and the people who buy it are pitiful.

Luo Yuan squeezed in, asked the price, and was suddenly a little shocked, every catty of corn needs five catties of grain stamps, and it also needs to be sold whole, buying such a corn of about six catties is enough to buy thirty catties of stale grain. In order to fill the stomach has occupied most of the income of ordinary citizens, it is really an extremely luxurious thing!

This kind of thing obviously just came out recently, and there are many people who are confused about this price, thinking that it shouldn't be so expensive, and the scene is very noisy.

In fact, it is very normal to think so, in this bad environment, as long as the plants are planted, they will rub and grow, the corn stalks are extremely high, and they are not afraid that the weeds will die because of the shading of the sun, and many people think that this will be the main food that will replace rice for a long time!

The director of the official operation was a little impatient when asked, his face sank, and he said loudly: "Corn stalks do grow very fast and well, and they can grow to more than three or four meters high, and they are the only food species that can be grown in the wild." But I'm afraid you don't know that its fruiting rate is extremely low, a corn plant, at most, can only produce one corn cob, most of them do not grow, but now it is only the first batch, the people of the Agricultural Science Institute are working hard to improve the seeds, and the price will drop in the future. ”

I heard the other party say that the corn stalks grow very long, but the result rate is extremely low. Luo Yuancai suddenly discovered that since the outbreak of the disaster, whether it was flowers or trees, he didn't seem to have seen the phenomenon of flowering and fruiting.

Survival and reproduction are two instincts imprinted deep in the genes, and if these two behaviors are not contradictory in the past, reproduction is a step in survival. But now that the biological world is going through an evolutionary frenzy, the first thing species needs to think about is how not to be eliminated by other species in this evolutionary frenzy. In order to gain a competitive advantage, reproduction behavior, which requires a lot of energy, is naturally greatly reduced, or even temporarily abandoned.

Just like an employee who has just entered a highly competitive company, his first consideration is how not to be eliminated in the competition, and only when he is on the heel of his position will he consider appreciation, salary increase, etc.

Next, Luo Yuan walked to the vegetable market located dozens of meters away.

Most of them are vegetables, not only cheap, but also grow incomparably big, a vegetable weighing seven or eight catties or even more than ten catties abounds, but looking at the thick fiber crisscrossed by the leaves, obviously the taste will not be too good, at least it is difficult to swallow.

Of course, there is also meat, but there is relatively little, mutated pork, mutated chickens and ducks, and a small part of other mutated creatures, which should be obtained outside. Luo Yuan secretly identified it, all of them were white-grade meat, and there was none of them in the light blue ones. The price of these meats is quite expensive, and it is common to need five or six catties of food stamps a catty.

He had the heart to buy a few catties of fresh meat to go back, but without food stamps, he could only take a look at it first.

Walking out of the vegetable market, he went directly to the bank, without food stamps, it was difficult to move an inch in Hedong City, but Luo Yuan did not plan to exchange all the money for food stamps, because he found that these food stamps were printed privately in Hedong City and could not be used in other places.

Therefore, even if the currency depreciates again, it is better than a sudden change in Hedong City one day, which causes all the food stamps to become a pile of waste paper and become nothing. But even so, he exchanged 2,000 catties of food stamps and spent 46,000 yuan, and all his funds were less than 80,000 yuan up to now.

These stamps, combined with your own food reserves, should be enough to last a long time.

As soon as Luo Yuan walked out of the bank, there was a commotion on the street.

In the distance, a group of people who looked like refugees walked towards this side, some of them still had blood stains on their bodies, except for a few people who seemed to have just cried with a sad face, most of them had palpitations and happiness on their faces.

"Who are these?" Luo Yuan grabbed a middle-aged man who was watching the excitement next to him and asked.

"Oh, it's the people from Donghu City who have fled." The middle-aged man said with a slight disgust, with a hint of obvious dissatisfaction on his face: "It seems that it was attacked on the highway and some people died." ”

"This is the second batch, it seems that there is a third batch, a fourth batch. Alas, the days will be even more difficult in the future. I really don't know what Lu Dao thinks, there is not enough food, and if they divide it, everyone will starve to death. Seeing that the conversation began, a young man with short-sighted eyes who looked like a college student said.

"I don't think it should be saved, so many people in the province have to be brought to Hedong City." A woman looked at the group with undisguised hatred and echoed.

Luo Yuan understands this mentality very well, just like a family that is already living in a very embarrassing situation, and suddenly hears that an outsider is going to come to the house to live for nothing for a long time, anyone will have a psychology of rejection, but understanding is understanding, as a person from Donghu City, seeing the mentality around him that he can't wait for all the people in Donghu City to die, he is also very angry in his heart.

"I'm from Donghu City!" Luo Yuan glanced around coldly and said.

After upgrading to sword mastery, the aura he emitted was even more terrifying, and now he couldn't fully control it, under the influence of anger, the terrifying aura was uncontrollably emanated, and the faces of several people nearby turned pale, as if they were extremely frightened. One of them seemed to have a bad heart, clutched his chest in pain, and then fell limply to the ground.

The onlookers were in an uproar. "Murder!"

"Help!"

"Soldier kills here!"

"Catch him!"

……

Some people who reacted quickly shouted loudly with a malicious face, but no one really dared to pull him!

Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, several soldiers stationed at the bank noticed that something seemed to be happening here, and was hesitantly walking towards this side, he saw that the matter had become big, and he didn't care about the person who fell to the ground. Hurriedly squeezed into the crowd, relied on his strength, and quickly escaped from this place!

Because he was worried about the pursuit of the soldiers, Luo Yuan didn't go to the vegetable market again, went home directly, walked to the living room, and saw that some fresh meat and vegetables had been bought on the table, and there was even a big corn.

"It's back!" When Huang Jiahui heard the voice, she walked out of the kitchen with a scarf around her.

"You bought it!" Luo Yuan pointed to the dishes on the table and asked in surprise.

"Of course I bought it, did I pick it up?"

"That's not what I meant, I'm asking how do you still have money? Okay, I seem to have forgotten to have a bank card or something, by the way, how much money do you have now? Luo Yuan smiled bitterly.

"I still have more than 1.7 million in my card, and I just went to get 100,000 in exchange for some food stamps, what's wrong?" Huang Jiahui said frankly without the slightest disguise.

Luo Yuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Huang Jiahui to be a rich woman, but when he thought of the current situation, he said: "Don't put the money in the bank, take out all the money while you can withdraw it now, I'm worried that you may never be able to withdraw it in the future." ”

When Huang Jiahui heard this, she immediately became worried, this possibility is very great, maybe such a thing will really happen, she frowned slightly, and said instead: "It doesn't seem to be very safe to exchange money for money, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, coins are the easiest to depreciate, and I don't know if Ludao Bank can still exchange it for gold now." ”

Huang Jiahui has rich experience, not comparable to a fledgling young man like Luo Yuan, and quickly thought of a better way to preserve value!

"It's still early for dinner, why don't you go now?" Huang Jiahui turned around a few times and said eagerly.

"It's still over today, there were some accidents." Luo Yuan smiled bitterly, and he didn't know if the heart disease man would die because of this.

Thinking of the disgust and hatred of the people of Hedong City for the people of Donghu City before, he couldn't help but be a little worried, as the people of Donghu City came over one after another, the entire Hedong City was afraid that there would be a fierce conflict.
