Chapter 53: The local tyrant Li Mo
The exchange office in the Lianghua gathering place is actually a warehouse renovated. Once inside, you will be directly at the exchange area.
There are many counters inside, which are divided into several sections, and the counters are stocked with a variety of items, but most of them are food-oriented.
Judging from the furnishings, it is a bit like the kind of supply and marketing cooperatives twenty or thirty years ago. However, similar to the supply and marketing cooperatives, this place is also a supply and marketing integration.
No, Wang Ruolin directly took Li Mo to a counter, and briefly explained the situation to the middle-aged female exchanger behind the counter.
Li Mo looked at the items on the counter with great interest. Although compared with my memory, the exchange office in Lianghua today is too simple and shabby, but it is quite interesting.
That's the exchange limit. My grass, a 60-gram ham sausage, actually has to be exchanged for a half-catty benchmark exchange.
The benchmark redemption ticket is a general ticket, a bit like the previous food stamps, one or two votes can be exchanged for one or two standard grains. To put it bluntly, it's rice noodles or something, but there are not too many subdivisions, coarse grains and fine grains are the same, you can choose. Not to mention, it can also satisfy the tastes of different people.
But this has to use half a catty of rice to exchange for a ham sausage, and Nima is too dark.
However, Li Mo can understand this, after all, the advent of the end times has made things like ham sausages a hot commodity. Although most of the starch in it is not good, there is also meat.
And you didn't look at the canned tempeh fish, a box will cost you three catties of tickets. This kind of thing, in addition to the double-high elite people with high quotas and high salaries, who can afford it!
But don't look at the price of food, it's quite high, but if it is exchanged for a person like Li Mo who comes here to exchange goods for tickets, it is a different kind of transaction amount.
The reason is very simple, the exchange house is to make the difference.
Therefore, when he looked at the price list handed over by the middle-aged aunt with a smile, Li Mo quickly came to the conclusion that the gang of bigwigs in the Lianghua gathering place must have been in charge of logistics in the army before, and these people are really plucking!
As for Wang Ruolin, looking at Li Mo's frowning appearance at this time, she was a little relieved in her heart, and said secretly: Yes! Let you not know the hearts of good people!
But how did she know that Li Mo didn't want to redeem the food at all. In fact, when he arrived in Lianghua, there was no food, and the supplies were basically at the bottom.
But Li Mo was obviously prepared, so the two women inside and outside the counter were quite curious, watching him throw the price list aside casually, and then scoop things out from the mountaineering treasure.
As a result, when he took out a strip of bright red raw meat, Wang Ruolin was dumbfounded, and swallowed her saliva.
That's fresh meat, how long have you not eaten it? If only I could take it back and stew it in a pot...... Woo, I almost didn't bite my tongue just thinking about it.
However, Wang Ruolin soon noticed her gaffe, so she pretended to be indifferent, and couldn't help but complain with pantothenic acid in her heart: it was all lean meat at first glance, and it would definitely kill you if you ate firewood.
In the last days, the price of fatty meat is definitely higher than that of lean meat. The survivors don't care about the three highs or the three highs, they just know that the bigger the oil, the better.
It's just that if Wang Ruolin's complaint was known by Li Mo, she would have to give this stupid girl a slap. What kind of eyes do you have? Is this meat in general?
And the aunt at the counter is obviously a knowledgeable person. She who doesn't stare at that piece of fresh meat has become a wangfu stone.
"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhang, what's wrong with you? Brother Li is still waiting. No matter how envious, jealous and hateful Wang Ruolin is to Li Mo, she still has the "professional ethics" she should have. Seeing the aunt just following that in a daze, she couldn't help but urge.
At the same time, I still look down on her a little in my heart, and I said that you are in the exchange house every day, and you haven't seen meat, as for this?
But Aunt Zhang woke up, but she didn't pay attention to Wang Ruolin at all, but used a gesture that was almost humble, and whispered to Li Mo with a smile on her face: "This gentleman, because the items you exchanged are too precious, I really can't be the master." So I'm going to ask you to wait a minute, and I'm going to ask our supervisor to come over. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Mo to agree, he rushed out of the counter and disappeared.
However, although she couldn't say it clearly, it made Wang Ruolin react suddenly. No matter how precious a piece of meat is, it won't make Sister Zhang unable to be the master? The only possibility is ......
"Brother Li, you, this is the meat of a mutant beast?"
Wang Ruolin's voice was not loud, but it was enough for the exchangers at the other counters to hear it clearly. As a result, one counts the other, and all of them stared wide-eyed at the beast meat.
It is estimated that if Li Mo wants to throw this meat out at this time, it will cause a robbery.
There is no way, the mutant beast is simply priceless in the current Lianghua gathering place. No matter how many tickets you give and how many supplies you take, there is nowhere to exchange them.
But this guy in front of him actually took such precious beast meat to redeem the ticket? Wang Ruolin, who was staring at Li Mo, suddenly felt dizzy, feeling that either the thing in front of her was crazy, or she must be crazy.
What is a local tyrant? Isn't there one here?
And soon, the Aunt Zhang, who had just run out, also came back with the steward. He was a middle-aged man, a little thin, and had a pair of eyes.
The two trotted all the way to Li Mo, and the man shook hands with Li Mo when he came up, with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, right?" Hello Hello, I'm Zheng Jianguo, the supervisor here. ”
"Hello." Li Mo naturally didn't put up any shelves.
Then Zheng Jianguo's gaze fell on the beast meat that Li Mo threw on the counter. However, he was much more cautious than Aunt Zhang, so he asked, "Are you sure Mr. Li wants to redeem this beast meat?" ”
Li Mo nodded.
Zheng Jianguo saw it and said, "Then can you let me take a closer look?" ”
Li Mo was almost unhappy when he heard this, but he could understand the director's caution, so he simply picked up the beast meat and threw it directly.
Zheng Jianguo was busy catching it, but in his eyes, Li Mo's image immediately rose tall.
To be honest, don't look at him as a supervisor, but the errand of the exchange office is actually quite aggrieved sometimes.
You only see that in the eyes of ordinary survivors, these people seem to be quite bullish, but you don't see that in the eyes of those upper class, they have to pretend to be grandchildren.
Although Zheng Jianguo still doesn't know the identity of Li Mo's ability, with his mind, he can naturally guess the best of ten.
So if Li Mo doesn't give him a good face and find an excuse for you to dare to doubt me, even if he slaps him with a big mouth, he will have to swallow his teeth in his stomach.
But the exchange of mutant beast meat made him have to be careful. You know, since the establishment of the gathering place, the exchange office has never redeemed this thing.
Even those who have joined the gathering place of evolutionaries or abilities, even if they have brought animal meat, but which one is not hidden? It's not enough to use it yourself, how can it be cheaper?
So if this transaction is completed today, although the amount is very small, it is enough to make a credit to the exchange office, and it is strange that he Zheng Jianguo can not be excited. And Li Mo cooperated with him so much, which naturally made him feel good.
Picked up the beast meat, looked at it carefully, and smelled it for a long time. It is estimated that if it weren't for Li Mo on the side, Zheng Jianguo would dare to take a bite secretly.
In this gathering place, there are rumors that mutant beast meat cures all diseases, women eat to give birth to sons, and men eat fierce as tigers.
After half a salary, Zheng Jianguo reluctantly handed back the mutant beast meat to Li Mo.
Then he looked at Aunt Zhang on the side and said, "Hurry up, bring me the exchange quota table." ”
But Aunt Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and said in her heart I want to know how to redeem it, and I still need to find you? Busy said: "Director, there is no exchange limit for this thing on the exchange table." ”
"How could it not be? I remember it! Zheng Jianguo was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and said in his heart, "Aren't you dropping the chain?"
Aunt Zhang secretly rolled her eyes, but she had to smile in the face of her boss, and responded: "What you said is the old yellow calendar, I don't remember that our exchange limit was fully adjusted not long ago." After the new quota comes out, there will be no mutant beast meat. As for the old exchange table, where do you let me find it now? ”
As a result, Zheng Jianguo only remembered it, but didn't he, he had thought about exchanging mutant beast meat from the survivors from outside, but he couldn't redeem it at all.
Therefore, not long ago, in the major adjustment of the material exchange quota, this item was simply removed.
But Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it on the side, and said in his heart that this old Zheng Dangqing was a confused official, and he didn't know if it was a related household who went through the back door.
At this time, he looked at Zheng Jianguo's anxious appearance, and he didn't bother to spend it here, so he said: "Otherwise, I'll leave this meat here for you first, anyway, no matter how you redeem it, you have such a big base, and you won't treat me badly."
I'm going to rest here for two days, so you can get me some tickets first. When you have the right letter, you can make up the difference for me. ”
This person in front of Nima is simply a living bodhisattva! When Zheng Jianguo heard this, he almost knelt for Li Mo.
But he naturally wouldn't know that the reason why Li Mo was so "high-profile" was, of course, for a purpose.
With such a large mutant beast corpse in the carriage, it is impossible to avoid people's eyes and ears. So it's better to just find out by yourself, why hide it.
Moreover, the corpse of this mutant beast, Li Mo didn't plan to take it on the road all the time, so he wanted to make a move in Lianghua. Of course, whatever you change, you have to follow his wishes.
Therefore, his previous actions actually had a fishing element, and it depended on whether he could catch the big fish that satisfied him.
