Chapter 115: Grain Station
Clothes sellers, all kinds of small bits and pieces, some of which are still broken, are obviously picked up from the ruins.
After the earthquake, the houses collapsed, and people didn't know how many died, and the things that were pulled out of the rubble were all ownerless, and whoever found them belonged to them, so of course there was no problem in selling them.
But in the current situation, does anyone really buy it?
Along the way, Jiang Li carefully observed these shops, and in the end he could only describe the business as bleak.
However, there is still a business in the shop that sells toiletries, after all, even in the last days, as long as there are some conditions, no one will want to be unkempt.
Bathing, washing face, washing hair, washing clothes, toiletries are indispensable.
Jiang Li has a lot of toiletries in the space, so he is naturally not interested in shopping.
The two of them walked two streets before they finally saw a store with a grain station sign.
Seeing Jiang Li stop, Gu Jin asked.
"Go in and have a look?"
Jiang Li nodded and said.
"Then let's go in and have a look!"
She also wanted to see what kind of food was sold here and what the price was.
At the door of the grain station there were four tall and strong men, sitting or standing, and at a glance they knew that they were guarding the door.
If anyone dares to think crookedly in the grain station, it is estimated that they will not even be able to get out of the door of the grain station.
Jiang Li only glanced at a few people, and then entered the grain station with Gu Jin.
The shop is about the size of two rooms, and as soon as you enter, you will see a row of glass counters facing the door.
Inside the counter are rectangular basins containing all kinds of grain, and small cards are pasted on the barrels with prices written on them.
Looking at this counter, Jiang Li only felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Frowning and thinking about it seriously, Jiang Li then remembered.
Isn't this the counter used to put mobile phones in the old mobile phone store?
When these counters were built, they probably didn't expect that one day, they would be used to display food.
Probably because the time was too early, except for Jiang Li and Gu Jin, there was only one cashier.
Jiang Li glanced at the grain on the counter and its price.
The variety of grains is quite rich, including rice and white flour, as well as millet and black rice.
There are also cornmeal, sweet potato noodles, sorghum noodles and mung bean noodles, as well as several types of beans and peanuts.
In addition, Jiang Li also saw wheat bran and rice bran, which were used to feed poultry in the past, and it was absolutely impossible to put them on the counter and sell them with other grains.
But now, even wheat bran and rice bran are sold as grain at a clear price, and the price is not cheap.
From the prices marked on those small cards, Jiang Li also knew what the currency of the Xinghai base was.
The first base uses points, and the Xinghai base uses contribution points.
For fine grains such as rice and white flour, five contribution points can buy a catty.
Wheat bran and rice bran are like this, you can buy a pound with a contribution point, and the price is really different!
After watching it for a while, Jiang Li and Gu Jin planned to leave, after all, they didn't really come to buy food, they just came to see the price.
The two of them walked out of the store, and after walking forward for a while, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the two, Jiang Li felt that someone just wanted to make a move, and Gu Jin had already pulled Jiang Li to the side.
The black shadow immediately wanted to escape when he saw that he didn't succeed once, how could Jiang Li give him a chance, took out a dagger from his boots, and threw it at the man's leg, the man's leg was injured and fell to the ground with a thud.
Jiang Li just wanted to step forward, but someone was faster than him, and he saw that several people quickly stepped forward and subdued the person.
Jiang Li and Gu Jin looked at the few people rushing over and stopped, and at this time, a voice came from behind the two people.
"I'm sorry, can you leave this person to us?"
Jiang Li and Gu Jin turned around and looked at the person who came, the person who came was wearing a knight's uniform, with a pair of military boots, his posture was tall, he looked like a person who had been a soldier, Jiang Li and Gu Jin neither spoke, and the person continued just now.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Zhang Qingshan, you can call me Captain Zhang, responsible for the security of the base.
So can you leave him to us?
I saw it all just now, he wanted to snatch your backpack, and before I could make a move, you had already solved it.
Zhang Qingshan also indirectly explained why he didn't make a move just now, but waited for the two of them to solve it before appearing.
Gu Jin looked at Captain Zhang and said.
"Absolutely."
When they first arrived, they would definitely not have a conflict with the people at the base, especially those with positions, which would not be good for them.
Jiang Li turned his head to look at the man who was arrested, and then said to Captain Zhang.
"But can you give me back my knife?"
Zhang Qingshan glanced at the knife on the ground, and then said with a look at the people under him.
"Absolutely."
The men quickly picked up the knife on the ground and handed it to Jiang Li, who took the knife and wiped the blood stains on the knife with a cloth before putting it back into the scabbard fixed on his calf.
Zhang Qingshan said after glancing at Jiang Li's movements.
"What do you call the two, the two of them shouldn't be from this base."
Although Zhang Qingshan was questioning, he did affirm his tone, just now he knew that they were not ordinary people, it was impossible for him to be unknown, he had been in the base for so long, it was impossible for him to be impressed by such a person.
He knew all about the small bases nearby, and he had all come into contact with them, and it was impossible for them to come from the small bases, only from other places.
Seeing Zhang Qingshan asking, the two did not hide it.
"My name is Gu Jin, her name is Jiang Li, we are indeed not from here, we just arrived yesterday, and it is the first time to come to Xinghai Base."
When Zhang Qingshan heard Gu Jin's introduction, he instantly lowered his vigilance against Gu Jin and them, and then said.
"You are Gu Jin and Jiang Li, from the first base? Aren't you six people? ”
Jiang Li and Gu Jin were also a little inexplicable when they heard Zhang Qingshan's words, how did Zhang Qingshan know them, and they knew it so clearly, they didn't have the impression of seeing Zhang Qingshan, and his attitude at the beginning didn't look like he knew us?
Gu Jin said.
"You know us?"
Zhang Qingshan said with a smile.
"Of course I know, Lao Wang has always mentioned you and asked me about you."
Seeing that the two still didn't know, they spoke again.
"Lao Wang, it's Wang Zhongwen of your base, Captain Wang."
Jiang Li and Gu Jin only understood when they heard Captain Wang, and Gu Jin spoke.
"Do you know Captain Wang?"
Zhang Qingshan said with some nostalgia.
"That's not it, we've always been good friends before, one of them was in the same unit, but unfortunately we were divided into two different bases in the last days, and we didn't even have a chance to meet.
It was only a few days ago that he came over to exchange food on the orders of the base, and we had a chance to meet again, but he always mentioned you to me and asked me about you! So I'm quite impressed with you. ”
