Chapter 31 How to Live?

After so much, I finally have a safe place. This night, everyone slept extra sweetly. It wasn't until the next day that everyone woke up one after another.

"Che Xun! We still have a lot of new coins now, and we can't hold them in our hands, so we have to find a way to exchange them for food. Yang Chen called Che Xun and took out a large handful of new coins.

"Well, that's what I mean! I heard from the officer that there is a grain store on the street not far from the community, and the current price of grain is 10 yuan a catty, and the money must be exchanged for grain as soon as possible, otherwise the new dollar will become less and less valuable! ”

"Good! Call Nanxi and Yumo, and we'll go right away! ”

Yang Chen did not hesitate, God knows if the price of grain will get higher and higher, and he hurried to sell grain while he had money.

Fortunately, the nearby grain store was not far away, and the five of them ran back and forth several times, and finally exchanged all the money for food. A total of 400 yuan, bought 40 catties of rice, at least 4 people can only eat for 3 days.

"Grass! How is this enough? "Looking at the sky, there are still a few hours before the curfew. Yang Chen said to Che Xun: "Why don't we take a look around." See what opportunities you can get to earn some new coins, or you'll have to sit back and eat! ”

"Makes sense! Walk! There is a trading market near Hanzhong Gate, let's go and check it out. ”

Although Chengdu has changed a lot, Che Xun, who came here to work, is very familiar with the surrounding buildings. After walking for more than half an hour, Hanzhong Gate arrived.

On a street, there are crowds of people everywhere. On both sides of the street, there are large and small stores. From a toothbrush to a car, everything is sold here. The buyers were picky, the boss who sold the things was spitting and introducing his things, and there was a sound of bargaining around. If it weren't for the fact that he saw a lot of beggars just now, Yang Chen really thought that he had arrived at a bazaar.

"Let's go around! There are 3 hours left before the curfew, and we will meet here in a 2 hour later! ”

So Yang Chen and the others divided into two teams and began to spin around the bazaar.

"Come on! Come! Come! Boss, look at this dress, it's all famous brands, no matter the style, it's all a dollar! ”

"The boss came to take a look, this instant noodles are very cheap, only 2 yuan a pack."

"Steamed buns! Steamed bread! 1 dollar a piece! One or two, steaming big steamed buns! Just baked! Come and buy it! ”

"The latest laptop, the new phone! Only $2! ”

"Boss! Let's have a kidney 6! 2 bucks. ”

"Grass! So cheap? ”

"Then buy one!"

"What did you buy it for?"

Yang Chen and Che Xun turned slowly, there were a lot of things on the street, and from time to time someone came over to ask. It's just that this time it's just to see, Yang Chen sent them away one by one.

"Hey, there's also a tobacco and alcohol store! Brother Chen, buy a pack of cigarettes, we're gone! ”

"Buy a fart! It's 30 pieces on your body! "I said that, but I walked over anyway.

At the beginning, I was desperately loading food, and I just wanted to leave Xuzhou. If you don't need to pack as few things as possible, Yang Chen and the cigarettes on their bodies are only half a pack, which Yang Chen has been saving on smoking. Seeing the tobacco and alcohol store, Che Xun's addiction to smoking couldn't help but be hooked.

"Boss, how do you sell these cigarettes?"

"Ten dollars here, five dollars here, the best here, ten dollars a pack!"

"What!! So expensive!! ”

Yang Chen was stunned, a steamed bun was only two yuan, and the most expensive cigarettes here were only a few dozen yuan in the past. According to the ratio of 100 to 1, a pack of five-dollar cigarettes is only a few cents at most. And the five-yuan cigarettes here are actually sold at the root, and a pack of cigarettes is worth two steamed buns!

"Expensive? It's not expensive! The more you smoke this cigarette, the less you smoke, and maybe the price will increase in two days! It's non-renewable! Which one do you want, two bosses? The guy said with a smile.

There are still 30 yuan in his pocket, but Yang Chen really can't accept this price, obviously everyone is starving to death, and these unnecessary things are still sold at such an expensive price. But seeing Che Xun's reluctant eyes, Yang Chen took out 2 new coins, "Get me 20 of this!" ”

"Okay!"

The guy quickly took out a pack of unopened ones, took Yang Chen's money, and handed over two more sticks from the side: "The two bosses are here for the first time, please smoke!" ”

Yang Chen took it unceremoniously, and then carefully put it in his pocket. In the last days, everyone is under a lot of pressure, and things like cigarettes and alcohol that can make people relax for a while become precious. And at this time, no one goes to work in any tobacco and liquor factories anymore, and this thing can only get more and more expensive.

"Do you collect cigarettes?" Che Xun tried to ask.

"Of course you will receive it! One pack of low-grade cigarettes, two pieces of mid-range cigarettes, and five pieces of high-end cigarettes! If you have, we will take as much as we have here. ”

"Thank you!"

"Next time!"

In the enthusiastic voice of the guy, Yang Chen and the two walked out of the tobacco and alcohol store and continued to walk inside.

Slowly, there were fewer and fewer stalls and shops, and after turning a corner, many beautiful women appeared on the side of the road.

"Come on, boss, let's be happy, it's only 2 yuan at a time!"

"Boss, I only need a piece, any trick! Come on! ”

"I'll rub!!" Che Xun

"Actually, if you can go and collect some cigarettes and buy them! You can still make money," Che Xun said.

"Hmmm! We'll see tomorrow! ”

Back home, it was already a little dark. The warm lighting turns the inside and outside of the door into two very different worlds. After dinner, Yang Chen lay on the bed. My head was spinning fast.

The food at home can only last for a week at most! What about a week from now? What to do then? There is not much food in the city, and if you want to find some food, you can only go outside the city, but Chengdu City doesn't know if you can go out? It doesn't work. What can you sell when you go to the market and set up a stall? The army, arsenal and some important units in the city are recruiting, but there are many people who go, and in addition to being able, they must have connections. I am a foreigner, and I have little chance of being able to eat national food. It's not a way to go on like this, you have to find a way.

"Hey, I didn't expect to think about food outside Chengwai, and worry about food in the city!!"

His head was groggy, thinking about it, Yang Chen's eyelids didn't know when they closed......

"I'm sorry everyone, I haven't changed it for 1 day, and I haven't made up for this one, I'm sick, and my mind is very confused. Hey."
