Chapter 143: Food Stamps
Zeng Degui saw that everyone was almost gathered, so he shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "All pay attention, all pay attention, we have started to exchange, you all look at it......"
As soon as he said this, there was a cheer from the crowd, all of whom were cheering for a full meal, and the others were mostly watching the excitement, and when they saw others cheering, they also cheered, as if they wanted to be a little happy.
"Below, is the exchange ratio...... "Zeng Degui is full of style, he asked the team members to set up a platform, and a Taishi chair was placed on the platform, he sat on it with Erlang's legs crossed, wearing sunglasses, holding a cigar in one hand, holding a microphone in the other, looking lazy.
The crowd fell silent in an instant, and there was no sound except the rustle of uneasy movements, and they were all listening, whether they could afford it or not.
"If the exchange is more than one catty, and the exchange is not more than one hundred catties, the exchange rate is one to ten......"
The crowd was in an uproar, and they exchanged heads and ears, and it was quiet after a while.
"More than 100 pounds, less than 200 pounds, one to nine. The ratio of five ......"
There was no commotion in the crowd, quietly waiting for the back.
"More than 200 catties, less than 400 catties, 1 to 9 ......"
The people of the major forces quickly reported back the exchange ratio that Zeng Degui said.
"More than 800 pounds, less than 1,600 pounds, one to eight. The ...... of the five And so on. Zeng Degui took a puff of his cigar, shook his legs, and announced that the offer was over, and interested parties could discuss the purchase at the designated place.
Hearing this, a few people were talking to each other, as if they were discussing the partnership to buy fish and meat, and they could take out hundreds of catties of grain.
Zeng Qiang stood aside and looked at the whispering crowd, he frowned, because he found that there were many people who were coaxing at the scene, and there were very few people who really had the ability to exchange, except for a few major forces, that is, some small forces with a little strength.
Zeng Qiang greeted a team member and whispered a few words to him, and saw this team member bow down to receive the order, trotted in front of Zeng Degui, and whispered a few words.
"Now, in order to benefit more people, I have decided to adjust the exchange ratio of the poor in the entire gathering place, one to two, one to ten; This policy is only for the poor, and fish bones and fish bones can also be exchanged, you can not pay for food, you can use other supplies, the exchange ratio is determined by us before proceeding. Zeng Degui got Zeng Qiang's instructions and immediately announced the new exchange situation, he understood that Zeng Qiang wanted to collect all the food and materials hidden in the gathering place, and mosquito meat was also meat.
This time the crowd stirred again, a pound of rice can be exchanged for a meal of meat to eat, this transaction is not a loss, and the fish bones that seem to have no meat can also be exchanged for other materials that are not used, at least you can take it back to make soup and drink, besides, there must be bone marrow in the big fish bones, which can also be eaten.
A large group of people crowded to the exchange point, surrounding the exchange point composed of several team members, just like shopping in a shopping mall before the end of the world and holding promotions.
Zeng Degui didn't understand the madness of the crowd very well, he was able to eat a full meal on a small island in the river before, since he followed Zeng Qiang, three meals a day were not bad, and occasionally he could open a meat dish and drink a little wine, so his diet was not bad, and he couldn't imagine the bitterness of white rice without food every day.
As the saying goes, March doesn't taste meat, and these people haven't eaten meat for more than three months, especially fresh fish.
Naturally, there were team members to divert the crowd, and those people with big forces were taken to a quieter place, and the bearded man was responsible for registration and distribution.
Bags of grain were brought by these forces, not only rice, but also wheat and flour. sorghum, etc.;
A fan of cut fish meat was pulled away, those rich guys dragged away the fish meat is still secretly happy, these fish meat is eaten and there are fish bones, these fish bones can be repeatedly boiled soup, fish soup soaked rice, thinking about it makes people drool.
There are more people left, all of them are retail investors, and a few team members maintain order, and more than a dozen cooks use kitchen knives to cut the fish into pieces, each piece is about one or two in size, and naturally there are team members to organize exchange and distribution.
"Brother Qiang, I'm afraid that there won't be enough time for a day today, and we still have a lot of fish, and there is a steady stream of strange fish in the river to hunt, and the team members are trapped here to maintain order, so no one will go out to collect supplies."
Gu Tao stood beside Zeng Qiang and whispered, there were at least tens of thousands of people at the scene, even if there were very few people with surplus food to exchange, in order not to cause chaos, this also involved a lot of team members' energy.
At present, there are more than 14,300 people in the camp, 200 members of the Ziqiang Army, and more than 150 people are maintaining order here today.
"That's a problem." Zeng Qiang took out a cigarette and lit it, and the curling white smoke rose.
Because the people who come to exchange are each bringing their own grain, the on-site transaction is very slow, and the grain needs to be checked bag by bag to see if there are any adulterated impurities, and then weighed before it can be exchanged;
And this also increases the risk of those who have food, their food or exchanged fish and meat are easy to be targeted by those who care, because there have been several cases of food theft, and the number of team members is relatively small, and they can't be seen at all.
"There it is!"
After smoking a cigarette, Zeng Qiang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he gave a few words to a team member next to him, and half an hour later, this team member came over with a special piece of paper in his hand.
Gu Tao looked at the piece of paper in Zeng Qiang's hand curiously, a white piece of paper about 6 centimeters long and about 2 centimeters wide had the words "ten catties of food stamps" written on it, and there was also a red fresh seal on it, which read "Self-improvement Army Autocracy", and there was also a line number.
Zeng Qiang looked at this food stamp and nodded with satisfaction, and then in Gu Tao's surprise, the food stamp in Zeng Qiang's hand was divided into two from the middle, and the fresh chapter was also half of each of the two halves of the paper.
This is Zeng Qiang in order to prevent someone from copying the food stamps specially made by people, this food stamps can be directly disassembled from the middle, and the people who trade have to first weigh the grain, exchange it for food stamps, and then use the food stamps to exchange for fish and meat.
When exchanging food stamps, the camp will leave the top half, and the bottom half will be given to the trader, and when you go to the exchange point to exchange for fish and meat, you need to hold half of each, and the fresh stamps and numbers need to be matched before they can be exchanged.
Zeng Qiang didn't expect that this unintentional move would make the prestige of the camp soar, and the food stamps he issued became a new currency invisibly, of course, this is a later story.
