292 Exchange Storm 5 2/5 more
(); More time:――
In the early morning of the next day, the sky has just cleared, the exchange point at the entrance of the camp is already crowded, there are more people on this day than yesterday, most of them are concentrated in small exchange points, there are many medium-sized exchange points, there is no one of large exchange points, as if discussed in advance, no one wants to be this bird, they are willing to change a little bit for a small amount rather than be remembered by the camp.
Zhang Huai'an and Wang Lelu Xiaobu looked at the dense crowd in front of them together, frowning, whether it is recruiting manpower or building a raft that can hold grain, it will take time, but yesterday day, the scattered exchange eyes made the camp lose half of the grain stock, or under the premise that there is no large exchange, if someone suddenly withdraws a large amount today, they really don't know what to do.
After eating and hiding early, the staff entered the exchange point one after another, and they erected a large wooden sign in front of the table, which said that the exchange of points was written, and then the guards with rifles entered the venue, and stood on the side, followed by countless rice bags containing grain and pushed them to the weighing place with carts to accumulate.
Time passed second by second, neither of the exchangers spoke or made noise, waiting for the official exchange to begin, looking at the countless people holding rice tickets, Zhang Huai'an's throat was a little dry, and the raft for transporting grain could be prepared in the afternoon, they had to survive today, otherwise before the grain arrived, there would be a fall out below.
When the sun officially radiated and scorched, the exchange began, and the quiet scene was like a pot of hot oil splashing cold water, and there was a lot of noise, and the crowd lined up in a long line, standing on tiptoe at the bags of grain piled up in front of them, and those who were interested stared at the speed and frequency of transporting food from the camp.
"I'm going to exchange twenty tons of ・・・・・"
A loud shout shook the whole audience, and people quietly turned their heads to look at the man who shouted to exchange twenty tons, more than three tons is considered a large exchange, and twenty tons is the largest of the large.
The man who shouted was not very old, with a fierce face, a bald head and green skin, and more than a dozen vertical and horizontal scars on his green skin head added a bit of momentum to him, and as he looked left and right, the scars seemed to come to life.
He was followed by more than a dozen men with knives and sticks, of course, these people's knives and sticks were honestly put aside, and they didn't even dare to point their blades towards the camp, and behind them, more than a hundred people pushed carts and carried flat burdens as if ready to carry.
Forty large-value rice bills of 1,000 catties fell firmly on the large-value exchange point, and the fierce-looking man pretended to be in a posture, tilting his head and looking around, but the horror flashing in his eyes and the spasms of his calves and stomach from time to time proved that this man was not as fierce as he appeared.
The staff at the exchange point looked at the 4 large rice tickets on the table with steel seals and serial numbers, turned their heads to look at Zhang Huai'an, Zhang Huai'an stared at the guy who wanted to exchange rice with a black face, hesitated for three or two seconds, nodded his head fiercely, and explained to Wang Le beside him:
"Is there a problem with your rice ticket, as long as there is a problem, Lao Tzu picked his skin..."
The man didn't know that he had inadvertently made a bird, he was one of the rising forces, the money in his hand was not big, and he was too young, so he couldn't survive the anxiety in his heart, so he came over to exchange for twenty tons of rice, and there was no problem with his rice ticket, but it gave a head start to other small forces, and people came to exchange it one after another.
More and more people were being exchanged, Zhang Huai'an's face was getting darker and darker, and the camp's reserve food continued to decrease, or in the afternoon, they were afraid that even the food for dinner would be exchanged.
Time passed minute by minute, Zhang Huai'an and Huang Tingwei almost counted the seconds to the end of the exchange, Zhang Huai'an's coat and underwear were all sweaty, not hot, but anxious, he had already panicked, according to this posture, there was no need to stay up to the point, I am afraid that in less than half an hour of exchange, his food will run out.
"What do you say... Our grain has bottomed out, and the people who manage the granary just now reported that in addition to the rice outside, there are less than ten tons left, and the corn is still bad, do you use corn as rice? ”
Zhang Huai'an was also anxious, and came up with a way that was not a way, and he was blaming himself in his heart, after the corn was shipped back, he used the corn as an emergency food and pressed it at the bottom of the reservoir, who wants to gnaw corn if there is rice? Who knew that this situation would occur, once it was not handled well, I am afraid that all the plans would be in vain.
"Or... I'll go to Liu Zhenghua and ask him to get ready, and then I'll forcibly disperse..."
Huang Tingwei also panicked, he couldn't conjure rice, the only thing he could think of was to borrow a knife to kill people, let Liu Zhenghua come forward, transfer everyone's anger to Liu Zhenghua, and rely on Liu Zhenghua's power to buy them time, transport rice overnight, and start free exchange tomorrow morning, that is, they only need an hour.
"No, Liu Zhenghua said a long time ago, as long as the food is okay, he will be fine, because he won't help us to subdue the entire gathering place, so we can only rely on ourselves."
Zhang Huai'an has always liked to consider bad results, there are still ten tons of rice in the camp, more than 100 tons of corn, it is really not good, he exchanged two catties for one catty, how can he survive today, although he will be taken advantage of, but he can stabilize people's hearts, you must know that there is no confidence, who dares to use two catties of grain to return one pound of grain?
"Why don't you start looking for someone now, three catties of rice a day, let's give the rice ticket first・・・・・ I didn't say..."
Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but interject, as soon as he said the two words of rice ticket, everyone else glared at him angrily, and he thought that it seemed that there was only one line of waste paper in the rice ticket, and now he could only give food that could be eaten in his stomach.
"Go, you go and find someone, three catties of corn per person a day, go and drag the corn out, we will give the corn first, and then they will go to the bath and change clothes, and they would rather let people wait for the boat, don't let the boat wait for people..."
Zhang Huai'an can only come up with this method that is not a way, hoping to use corn to divert the attention of those people, and then talk about it today, Zhang Huai'an's corn has just been put out, Zhang Xiaotian will take a loudspeaker to recruit workers on the spot, not to mention, there are really people coming, they are all poor people with small rice tickets, they have rice tickets are only three or four catties, I don't know how long to wait in line, why not do it if there are ready-made?
Hundreds of people came scattered, Zhang Xiaotian stood in front of them, and said with great fanfare that he would take them to Huxin Island to move grain, although it was said to be heard by temporary hired workers, but the crowd in the distance also heard it, seeing that the camp seemed to be very confident, some people couldn't stand the heat, and ran to the side to be lively first, but most of them still stood in place, waiting for the exchange, after all, no one had seen the grain on Huxin Island with their own eyes.
When more than a dozen people withdrew from the exchange, Huang Tingwei's eyes lit up, and he thought of a wonderful way to reassure people.
"Good!! This method is good, just do it, you quickly arrange someone to go to the island in the middle of the lake immediately, everything has your needs as the first goal, as long as this method is good, Brother Cockroach will come back to give you a report ・・・・・"
Zhang Huai'an was overjoyed when he heard Huang Tingwei's method, with this method, coupled with the evidence of the grain shipped back, no one doubted that they had no food.
Huang Tingwei turned around to go to his big business, and Zhang Huai'an instructed the people below to use forklifts to move all the corn out and stack it at the gate of the camp.
"Lao Zhang・・・Attention・・・・We have received fake food stamps..."
