Chapter 212: The Price of Cannibalistic Food
In fact, no matter at any time, the merchant can sum up in four words, 'buy and sell', get the goods from the supplier, and then sell them, so as to earn the difference.
However, in the last days, the most important resource of food crops is not everyone who can engage in this business, and if you think about it another way, anyone who can open a grain store will at least have a large force behind it, otherwise it will be eaten to the point that there is no residue left.
It is precisely because of this that Huang Yi has grain in his hands, so he must be careful, otherwise he will casually invite trouble or even ruin, food is a piece of oily fat, and everyone wants to take a bite.
"Don't talk later", Huang Yi warned Yue Yuan, lest he say the wrong thing and cause trouble to the two.
"Don't worry, I can tell which is more important."
Although Yue Yuan replied so, Huang Yi was still a little uneasy, after a few years of contact, he knew that this guy was unreliable many times.
Shengshi grain shop, is Huang Yi the first thing they want to understand the target, this is a five-story building, built on the street, people come and go is very lively, there are at least twenty powerful men around the building holding a big knife, cold eyes to inspect every person in and out of the grain shop.
There is no way, the food is too precious, and I am afraid that it will be robbed by hungry and crazy people, so I must protect it.
It is worth mentioning that the sun is now obscured by dust clouds all over the world and plunged into darkness, but the whole Liyu City is a scene of brilliant lights, with 'street lamps' lighting everywhere, especially individual businesses, which make their shops bright, and there are almost no 'black shops' and the like.
The same is true of the Shengshi grain shop, dozens of lights are on. The place is illuminated in detail, and it is very lively for people to come and go. Those who went in were empty-handed, and most of the people who came out were carrying food. But most of them didn't have any smiles on their faces, and it was clear that they would be slaughtered every time they entered, and their hard-earned money was exchanged for food in their hands.
Huang Yi and the others stepped into the door of the Shengshi Grain Store, and they were not intercepted, but they were just vigilantly looked at by the guards, after all, the two of them were fresh faces.
The two entered the hall of the Shengshi Grain Shop, a space of thousands of square meters, but it was divided, and there were finger-thick steel bars welded into about ten centimeters on the steel shelves. Then there is a barbed wire fence barrier, forming two separate spaces.
Inside the barbed wire, there is a shelf, on which there are all kinds of edible things, people outside can see the contents through the barbed wire, so as to choose, inside the barbed wire, in addition to the people who run back and forth to pick up the goods, there are more knife-wielding personnel guards. There is no way, I am afraid that someone will rob me of food.
"It's like a pre-apocalyptic bank, and no one can touch the food inside, who knows if it's bad." Yue Yuan pouted.
Huang Yi didn't say anything, just glanced at it, the situation here is almost the same, there are twenty big men guarding outside the grain store. Judging from the breath, at least it was at the level of Qin Zhan at the beginning. And inside the building, there are more than a dozen people of the level of Hengyong in Montenegro Fort guarding them. And Huang Yi also felt that upstairs, there were stronger people.
In this way, I have to sigh in my heart, food, in the last days, is really a profiteering industry, even the guards are so tight, it is like before the end of the world, a small store sells it, and the supermarket is piled up with you to take it casually......
The food in the grain shop can be roughly divided into two categories, finished products and semi-finished products. Instant noodles' the same thing, you can eat it directly when you buy it, in this prosperous grain shop, the most finished food is the black one, and I don't know what kind of powder is soft into a fist-sized pimple, a copper coin, is the best-selling food, there are some flour cakes and the like, the price is higher, the same black one actually costs five copper coins, and some canned meat and the like, then it is more expensive, any point has to be bought with silver coins, ordinary people can't afford to eat, of course, the number is very small.
And then there are semi-finished products, which is very easy to understand, that is, some raw meat, large flour, rice beans and the like, there are still a lot of them, and I don't know where they come from, and there are even fruits, which makes my eyes wide, in the last days when everything can't grow, how did these things come about?
Huang Yi mainly pays attention to the price of semi-finished food, whether it is rice and flour, which are not affordable for ordinary people. Luxury', the price is expensive, what makes Huang Yi grin is the price of these grains, it is simply a robbery, corn, three silver coins a catty, wheat, four and a half silver coins a catty, soybeans, three and a half silver coins a catty, and then flour, actually tall nine silver coins a catty, but only processing wheat into flour, the price will be doubled, other cornmeal is the same, six silver coins a catty, and then rice, directly five silver coins a catty, but the husked rice, actually tall ten silver coins a catty!
This is a robbery, take a waiter in a bar or other place in the city, without food and accommodation, a day's harvest is about 30 copper coins, and then he needs to work for ten days to buy a pound of soybeans to satisfy his hunger......
"It's too violent, it's too loser, we in Montenegrin Fort, we used to eat meat for a meal, and we will eat rice for a meal in the future, where is this eating, this is simply eating money", Yue Yuan's eyes almost burst when he saw the price of food.
Shaking his head, Huang Yi didn't say anything, took out a copper plate from his body, and came to the person on the opposite side of the window and said, "Give me one to eat."
He really didn't know what that black copper coin was eating.
"You say mixed nutrition cake"? The person inside took the silver coin in Huang Yi's hand, glanced in the direction he pointed, subconsciously asked, and then walked over and picked up one and handed it to Huang Yi.
When he got this black thing, Huang Yi obviously saw that the guy who sold the thing despised him, as if to say, if you wear five or six people, eat this?
"Why are you buying this"? Yue Yuan asked curiously.
Huang Yi shook his head and didn't say anything, he took the so-called mixed nutrition cake in his hand and weighed it, not to mention, it was quite heavy, as hard as a stone, and then broke it open, put it on his nose and smelled it, my God, he almost vomited, this smell is really bad.
But there was still a keen nose that could smell something in it, some of the wheat bran (wheat husks) and bran (rice husks), which were only a small part, and some of the wood chips, and then the smell of bone meal, and I don't know what kind of mess was soft together.
"No wonder it is said that this thing can't eat enough and can't eat dead people, it turns out to be such a thing", Huang Yi said speechlessly.
Yue Yuan glanced around casually, but found that it was just such a thing, but it was the object of most people's purchases, and some bought a lot of them, and the people in the barbed wire were so busy replenishing the goods that their feet did not touch the ground.
In particular, people who buy things tend to drool over things like meat and rice, but they can't afford it!
Huang Yi looked at the price of rice again, five silver coins a catty, compared with it, he felt that the rice produced in Montenegro Fort, even if it was just a supply and not a retail, could buy fifteen silver coins a catty, which was one catty, the amount of a meal for one person!
The reason why this is so is because Huang Yi saw that the rice bought in this grain shop is more than three times smaller than the rice in Montenegro Fort, and many of them are shriveled, so it would be good to have half a catty of rice for one catty of rice.
"Let's go, let's go to the next one and make a decision", Huang Yi shook his head and walked out of the door of the Shengshi Grain Store with Yue Yuan.
The two came to the grain store, just bought a mixed nutrition cake, and after walking out of the Shengshi grain store, Huang Yi casually threw the 'mixed nutrition cake' broken into two hundred to a person who collapsed on the side of the road and was dying, and left without looking back.
The next one, Yamato Grain Shop, the layout is almost the same, the goods inside are also similar, and the price is roughly the same as that of Shengshi Grain Shop, there is nothing new, the difference is that maybe the owner of this house is more afraid of death, and there are more guards than Shengshi Grain Shop.
Next, there is Xinglong Grain Shop, which is similar, there is no freshness, but there is also a notice that there is an extra kind of canned carp and some food products related to carp, which the other two do not have.
Comparing it in my heart, it seems that the three grain shops that have walked by, only the area and goods of the Yamato grain shop are much worse, and the price is so high, Yue Yuan didn't notice this, but Huang Yi noticed it.
Then, the next one, well, is actually Xinglong Grain Shop, and then the next one, Xinglong Grain Shop, and then the next one, or Xinglong Grain Shop, and then Shengshi Grain Shop......
"I found that there are only three bosses of the ten grain shops in the entire Liyu City, and there are five branches in Xinglong Grain Shop, three in Shengshi, and two in Yamato, which occupy the food supply of the entire Liyu City", Yue Yuan also found this strange phenomenon and said speechlessly.
Huang Yi smiled, knowing in his heart that food is a huge profit, and no one wants others to interfere, I am afraid that if a new grain is rolled out, it will be suppressed or even directly occupied by these three families at the first time.
"Let's go, let's go directly to Xinglong Grain Shop, Xinglong Grain Store has the most branches and the largest strength in Liyu City, in order to reduce trouble, I am afraid it is the most suitable to cooperate with them", Huang Yi said with a wry smile.
Yue Yuan thought about it and understood the reason, I am afraid that once their high-quality rice cooperates with the other two, I am afraid that Xinglong Grain Store will kill it as soon as possible.
Stepping into a Xinglong grain store at will, Huang Yi directly walked through the window and said to the people inside: "Can you introduce the person in charge of you here?"
Standing inside was a girl who was not very old and average-looking, looking at Huang Yi and blinking, she subconsciously asked, "Don't you buy food?"
What is this hearing? Huang Yi was speechless and said again: "Can you introduce your person in charge here?" I have a business that I hope to work with you, but you can't make the decisions." (To be continued.) )
