"Huh?"

Lao Li can't understand this!

"Why? I don't believe that a person is going to starve to death and will exchange supplies for Coke. I believe in cigarettes and alcohol, but I don't believe in Coke. ”

"Of course, not in a state of starvation, Coke is worth a lot in the early days, and tobacco and alcohol are worth a lot in the later stages. In the early days, young people were stressed and needed to vent, so they wanted to eat sweet, so they were willing to change to Coke. ”

"If you get to the middle and late stages, you don't have anything to eat, what kind of coke do you want."

"That's true." Lao Li nodded.

Zhou Ping said again: "The more you go to the back, the more scarce the materials become, especially when the tobacco and alcohol are used up, so it becomes more valuable." Not to mention alcohol, which is very versatile, so it doesn't hurt to stock up on more. ”

"Well, I'm scared when I hear it, but I'm going to stock up on some too."

But soon, Lao Li wondered again.

"That's not right! Under what circumstances would it take to be so scarce? In today's society, this can't happen...... I've been caught up in you. ”

"Then who knows. If everything is predictable, then where is there suffering in the world? Where are the poor? ”

"Five years ago, you could have believed that the weather would reach sixty or seventy degrees today, and you could believe that the whole world was starting to work night shifts?"

"I'll go, it seems to make sense."

Lao Li's eyes widened, "If someone had told me five years ago that everyone would have gone out day and night today, I would have absolutely scolded him to death, reported him, and talked nonsense." Outcome...... Sure enough, reality is always more outrageous than fiction. ”

As he spoke, Lao Li felt scared and wanted to hoard with Zhou Ping, but he was afraid that his wife at home would not understand, and he was in a dilemma!

"I really envy you, you don't have a wife."

“……”

Soon arrived at the liquor store where Lao Li usually buys, although Lao Li is not a frequent customer, but he is righteous, has a wide range of social contacts, and is still relatively familiar with the boss.

Zhou Ping had discussed it with Lao Li in advance, so he came over today just to pay and pick up the goods, and soon, five boxes of liquor were put into Zhou Ping's trunk.

Zhou Pingjin is a cheap high-quality small bottle of liquor, which is easy to store, easy to trade, and easy to carry.

His seven-seater Buick has now been dismantled from all the extra seats in the back and turned into two.

There is a huge space in the back that can be loaded and can also be used as a temporary rest point when necessary.

After getting the wine, Lao Li was going to buy some snacks, and Zhou Ping went with him, and by the way, he learned about the price of snacks.

I have to say, he compared, the snacks in the wholesale market are really cheaper than those on the Internet, and the dates can be seen, all of them are very fresh.

Buying in bulk like this is, of course, cost-effective in physical stores.

This wholesale market is very large, in addition to snacks, there are fruits, rice noodles, wholesale of household utensils, etc., Zhou Ping also visited the household utensils, to understand the price.

He doesn't hoard these for the time being, and when the time comes, he will move directly to the countryside after he gets the house ready, and he can't put it at home too early.

For example, tobacco and alcohol have to be placed in a cool air-conditioned room, not to mention the study of this weather, it is rice, noodles, medicines, etc., if you dare to put them at "room temperature", they will all be broken in a short time.

Therefore, the items that did not need cold chain transportation in the past were all changed to cold chains, resulting in the price of many commodities rising sharply, electricity and oil costs are more expensive, and various industries are not smooth, so all kinds of man-made disasters must be endless.

People can't make money, so they have to find ways to get money from other places.

After buying the goods, Zhou Ping drove around, and he went around the wholesale market a few more times, trying to find a wholesale point to see if there were solar batteries.

But it's a pity I didn't see it.

During this time, he saw one or two physical stores of solar equipment, and briefly went to learn about them, and the sales were particularly good, and the market gap was huge.

But he didn't find a suitable manufacturer, the day before yesterday he contacted one by phone, which did not release the goods, and did not have an account period, and asked for a one-time delivery of 300,000 yuan, only selling their company's full line of products.

There was no way, Zhou Ping could only give up.

Now solar products are very popular, although there are still very few solar energy sold near his city, but it will soon be noticed by more people, so manufacturers are more arrogant and easily refuse to release goods.

The meaning of releasing goods is that the manufacturer first gives the product to the merchant, and the merchant does not have to pay, and after half a year or a year, the merchant pays all the payment at one time.

This is a method that many manufacturers often use when they open the market in the early stage, but unfortunately, the current solar market is in short supply, and they are still very proud.

When some manufacturers make a name for themselves locally, and manufacturers of other brands want to come in and get a piece of the pie, they will lower their profile and start to release goods or even engage in activities to compete for the market.

Zhou Ping can wait patiently.

In addition, his main focus now is on the side of the shelter, so there is no need to rush too much about solar energy.

The wine was obtained, and the cigarettes were ordered by Zhou Ping from Lao Li, and he waited for the tobacco company to deliver them to the door.

Cigarettes are also cheap, twelve or one packs, and those that are too expensive are not cost-effective.

The next day.

After Zhou Ping took his two siblings to train, he was about to drive back to his hometown, but Lao Li rushed over with a shovel.

"Why?"

"I'm going to help, too." Lao Li said, "No matter how I say it, I am also a master of building walls." ”

Talking about helping, in fact, this guy has been a bit of a survival freak lately!

Last night, he also asked Zhou Ping why plastic wrap is also a hoard, and it is estimated that his wife will soon find out that his plaything is demoralized.

"You don't have to look at the store?"

"My wife is watching, let's go."

Lao Li couldn't wait to drag Zhou Ping into the car, and seeing his relieved expression, Zhou Ping began to wonder if he couldn't stay at home anymore so he took the opportunity to slip away?

Tsk, poor middle-aged man!

Soon arrived at his hometown, Zhou Ping has started construction in the past few days, he has used tools to knock down the original floor tiles of the family hall, and the rest is manual work.

You have to dig a big hole in the ground with your bare hands.

The two came to the house, it was eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, although it was a little hot, but it could bear it, but there was no air conditioning or fan here, and the next life would certainly not be so wonderful.

Lao Li has already begun to regret it.

Zhou Ping didn't give him a chance to regret it, took his shovel and threw him a hoe.

"Let's get to work."

"......" the corners of Lao Li's mouth twitched, "cough ......"

The thief ships are all on board, and it is impossible to go down, there is no way, Lao Li can only work with his head bored.

Alas! Back then, he was not so tired of building walls, and he was fooled.

"Zhou Ping? It's really you! ”

The two of them were digging in the dark, sweating profusely, when a rough sound appeared in their ears, Zhou Ping looked up, and his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

"We must have been twenty years since we saw each other, I didn't expect that!" The person who came sighed.
