In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.

At noon, when the sun was at its peak, there were six sleds on the only road leading from Tashan Village to the county, all of which were the kind of military sleds that had been seen on TV in the military flat road, and two people sat on each sled.

The people of the village, who have been trained to be very vigilant for a while, saw a few white things speeding from a distance in the window of his house, and when he saw that it was an outsider coming, he shouted, which attracted the attention of the adults, and immediately blew the alarm, and finally the whole village knew about it. (This kind of siren was sent by Jiang Zhi to each villager after the accident at Zhang Wanfu's house not long ago, it is a kind of trumpet toy for children, it can emit a high decibel sound, which usually feels very harsh, and it is most suitable to act as an alarm at this time.) ）

Jiang Zhi and I, as the village chief and the village chief's wife, rushed to the entrance of the village as soon as possible after getting the news to see who was sacred, and came to look for trouble during the Chinese New Year.

As a result, when we saw the snow-white military sled in the snow, the person sitting on it was also wearing professional equipment, and we knew that these were not ordinary people.

"Brothers, I don't know what you are doing in this cold day to our mountain village." Jiang Zhi wasn't sure who these people were and what purpose they were here, so he gave me a look, and the two of us quietly ran the exercises, wrapping our whole bodies with spiritual power. That way, even if they suddenly attack, we won't be too passive.

After Jiang Zhi finished asking, he saw that a person got down from a sled, and in terms of body size, he should be a man, and his body was relatively strong. He took off the scarf around his face, revealing a resolute face.

"I'm sorry, it's a big New Year. It was our fault that we all came out to disturb the folks. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Qiao Mu, and those are my partners. Qiao Mu said and sifted the people on the sled. The men only nodded slightly.

"We were all soldiers, but that's all in the past, so I won't talk about the specifics.

Now the outside world is not good, and everyone says that this is the end of the world. After the establishment of a safe zone by the state. Just told us that we can't afford to support us idlers in the future. Although the country does not support us, we can't just die. You have to find a way to support yourself. We are all soldiers and eggs, and we have no skills, although the country has given up on us, but we still can't do things to burn, kill and loot. So a few brothers discussed. We went out and kicked something for ourselves, and bought some food to fill our stomachs.

When I came to your village today, I have absolutely no other meaning, that is, to ask you, if you have any needs, we have oil, salt, sauce and vinegar here, if you have any special requirements. It can also be said that I saw it later. We'll get it for you. ”

His words not only explained what he was doing now, but also said the strength of these people, I think that soldiers can use these most advanced sleds, and they are not ordinary soldiers.

Otherwise, people say that first impressions are very important, and this young man, with a resolute face, gives people a sense of justice, and does not look like a bad person.

The villagers standing behind us were happy when they heard that they were here to sell things, as well as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

"Oh, this is great, our soy sauce is long gone, and I thought that this year's New Year can only be cooked with salt, if you buy it, it would be great, how much is a bottle?" Villager A asked.

"Your family is okay, there is still salt to eat, there is only a little salt left in my house, I haven't dared to use it for the past few days, and I have saved my mind to eat something delicious for the New Year." Hey, there's nowhere to buy these spices now. Villager B sighed.

Last summer, the county opened a supermarket, the village people have heard of it, some villagers also went to a trip in person, there are things are very expensive, and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar can only be exchanged for food, at that time the villagers have a little inventory, look at such a high price and give up, always think that the situation will get better, the country will not let this situation happen for too long, but this half a year of consumption, the seasonings at home are basically bottomed out, if you don't buy again, then you will really eat boiled vegetables.

"Brother Joe, can you show us your cargo?" Jiang Zhi was still cautious and wanted to confirm their identities again.

"Okay, what do you call this brother?" Qiao Mu saw that Jiang Zhi was the head of the village, so he asked.

"My surname is Jiang, a single name and a smart character, and now I am the village chief of Tashan Village." Jiang Zhi introduced himself.

"It's Brother Jiang, long admiration, long admiration." Qiao Mu said politely, and then he turned back to a sleigh and shouted, "Xiao Linzi, bring the goods in your car and show this Brother Jiang." ”

Just look at the man who was called Xiaolinzi, he got off the sleigh neatly with one step, and then in the back of the cargo hopper, he took out a big bag, and when he carried the bag, he also touched a thing on it on the snow, just in the cargo bucket I didn't see clearly, and now it fell on the snow, we all saw clearly, it was a submachine gun.

The people standing behind me were silent, their faces changed color, and they didn't dare to say anything, only me and Jiang Zhi looked at them with gentle faces as if they didn't see it.

Qiao Mu pretended to apologize again and said, "I'm sorry, he didn't hold it steady, don't mind, it's our weapon for self-defense." Now if you want to go south and north, there is no hard guy, but no, the people outside can eat people. ”

"Haha, yes, now walking outside, if you don't have a little bit of a powerful guy, it's definitely not good, but we really don't like this here, Brother Qiao is better to put it away." Jiang Zhipi said with a smile that in the face of such a blatant threat from others, he couldn't be happy to be a man.

"Okay, okay, okay, look at me, I've forgotten that it's dangerous every day, Linzi, hurry up and put it away, you can't use that here." Qiao Mu said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, since you are here to sell things, and there are people in our village who want to buy things, then you should go to our village committee first, take out all the things, let everyone pick and choose, and then negotiate the price." Jiang Zhi saw that this arbor was so knowledgeable, and his face softened, after all, we have been here for so long, this is the first time we have seen a caravan come to us. They should be called caravans......

After that, everyone gathered around these sleds to the courtyard of the village committee, and then the arbor people took out a few of each commodity and put them on the table that was specially moved out for the villagers to choose.

"How do you sell this bottle of soy sauce?" Villager A asked.

"6 catties of rice for a bottle." Salesperson A replied.

"It's so expensive, it's more expensive than the supermarket in the county in the summer." Villager B exclaimed.

"It's not expensive, you must know that it's winter, you can't take it out of your hands, how difficult the conditions are, and besides, we have to use sleds to travel now, which requires fuel, so the price is not expensive." Qiao Mu explained with a smile next to him.

"And how do you sell this bag of salt?" Villager C asked.

"7 catties of rice for one bag, one bag for one catty." Salesperson B replied.

"What about this vinegar? ……”

"Where's this bag of rock candy? ……”

After that, the village committee was a piece of the price question, Qiao Mu saw that everyone was just asking the price, no one really took the grain to buy things, so he said loudly: "If you want to buy it, you can buy it as soon as possible, we have limited goods to bring this time, and it may not be enough for everyone to share, so we will buy first and get it." ”

His words completely ignited the shopping craze of the villagers, and they all hurried home to weigh the food, ready to buy some necessities for the New Year.

Finally, salt is the most sold of all commodities, because everyone knows that people can't go without salt. Although the villagers may not be able to say why, they all know that if they don't eat salt, they won't have the strength to do so, so everyone buys the most salt.

Others who had a better harvest this year also bought some oil, soy sauce and other seasonings in moderation.

I asked Hanhan to go home and get the food, I just saw a few bottles of tempeh and boiled fish in the goods, I was going to buy some, these seasonings should be stored.

These things are really not cheap, I wrapped all of them here, a total of 96 catties of rice, and the arbor also gave a whole face, so he collected 95 catties.

I secretly rolled my eyes, aunt and grandmother, I look like a person who is short of that pound of rice.

"Mom, can I buy this?" Hanhan took out several large bags of spicy gold needle grinding in the goods, held them up in front of me and asked me.

Before I could answer, An An and Xuanxuan over there also found their favorite small goods.

"Aunt Xiaoyi, can I buy this?" Xuanxuan was holding a small hairpin for a little girl to tie her hair.

How could they even take this out and buy it, can this be bought? (If you come across something like this, someone buys it.) ）

"Aunt Xiaoyi, can I buy this?" An An lifted a firecracker.

I looked at the three children's longing and pretended not to care eyes, and my heart softened. What am I doing so desperately to grow food for, isn't it just so that the children can live well in such an apocalyptic world, and now the children are on this condition, and there is food at home, so what is there to do. In the end, I didn't suppress the children's small eyes, and waved my hand and said, 'Buy'.

Then I watched as the sinister merchant of Qiao Mu carried two large bags of grain from our family and put them on his sleigh.

Woo ~ woo ~ woo ~, I really don't know, those little snacks add up to more expensive than what I bought, I just saw that there are a lot of pickled pepper phoenix feet and pickled pepper pork skin, and then I want the children to buy it, there is no reason why I don't buy some of the mother, so I picked out everything from those pickled peppers, and as a result, my family's food was gone, and I secretly scolded the profiteer from head to toe in my heart.
