Chapter 57: Shortage of Materials

The water level continued to rise, and soon, the residents on the fourth floor had no choice but to move out.

Soon, an unexpected piece of news came.

The supermarket announced the closure of the supermarket, and the next step is to wait for the government to help.

But it is clear that government relief is starting to dwindle.

Recently, each person was only provided with 2 catties of rice and two white radishes a week, and the meat and water were directly gone.

The staff on the government transport ship left after announcing the news, leaving the residents wailing.

"How can this live, eat 2 catties of rice for 7 days! I don't have a 50-gram meal, and it's not as big as my fist! ”

"My child is still growing up, how can I eat white rice with radish every day!"

"That's right, last week, each family still had half a catty of pork, and now there is no meat, what the hell is the government doing!"

Someone saw that Hu Mingui was also in the crowd and hurriedly asked him.

"Chief, you help us find a way, and we will continue to pay for it."

Hu Mingui was also a little stunned when he suddenly learned the news.

What's going on, the government is going to run out of food?

Originally, the line he took had been in relatively stable supply, and in the morning he suddenly said that he could not find the supply.

So what should he do with so many orders in his hand, those people are all characters with heads and faces, and they can't afford to offend.

No, I'll have to go out and lie down later.

Hu Mingui was a little annoyed in his heart, and he was a little rushed to speak.

"I'm just a messenger, what can I do. And the supermarket has already been cut off, where can I buy it for you! ”

Seeing Hu Mingui's bad attitude, some people were dissatisfied: "Mingui, what kind of attitude do you have, don't think that the big guy doesn't know, you make the difference from us." People sell 40 pounds of rice in the supermarket, you change hands and charge us 100, and you make enough money yourself, so you don't care if we live or die. ”

When everyone heard this, they instantly attacked it.

"Yes, yes, I've heard about it, dare to love you and make a fortune in a muffled voice. At this time, you still have a big conscience, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning! ”

"I see that he and Zhang Biao go out to pull goods every day, and often move things up and down to the house."

The more the crowd talked, the more excited they became.

"Let's go to his house and find out."

Hu Mingui saw that the situation was getting worse and worse, and he wanted to get out of control and hurry to save the scene.

"Folks, don't get excited, I didn't say I don't care about everyone. I went out to pull goods, but I was a volunteer to deliver supplies to the government door to door. I don't believe you ask Zhang Biao and Xiao Zhao. ”

Everyone looked at the skinny monkey.

The thin monkey also cooperated with Hu Mingui's acting, nodding wildly.

"Yes, yes, we are volunteers, don't wronged your brother."

Seeing that they were telling the truth, some people were skeptical, but they still questioned: "You and Hu Mingui are in the same group, of course you helped him speak." ”

Hu Mingui glanced at Xiao Zhao, who was silent.

The latter hesitated for a while, thinking of what he had given him before, and whispered: "It's true, I heard it when the government supply ship came before, and they did ask your brother to help transport it." ”

Maybe Xiao Zhao is usually more honest, and everyone no longer questions him when he says this.

"So what do you think we're going to do next?"

Hu Mingui saw that everyone was no longer targeting him, so he quickly changed the topic: "Let's go out and find it, we must not stay at home and wait for death." ”

"That being said, there are no boats. Besides, where can I find it? ”

"There is no boat to figure out a way, there are still a lot of capable people in our community, and they must not die without help." Hu Mingui said, and glanced at Lin Wanqiao.

"Hmph, it's easy to say, even if there are ships, they are flooded everywhere, and the government can't find supplies, what's the use of us going out?"

"There's nothing on the surface of the water or any of the water. No matter how bad it is, if any of us have excess food at home, we should not hide it, but also contribute it, so that we can work together to tide over the difficulties. ”

Yo, yin and yang monsters.

Two of Hu Mingui's three sentences were addressed to her.

Lin Wanqiao was not stupid enough to sit down in public, took her own supplies, and went straight home.

After arriving at home, she handed the rice bag to Yang Yujun and put it away.

Yang Yujun opened the bag, and Lin Wanqiao inadvertently glanced at it, the color of this rice was wrong.

Lin Wanqiao was a little unsure, and called Liu Jian'an to check.

It was a little yellow, Liu Jian'an picked it up and sniffed it carefully, and there was a vague indescribable smell.

"There's something wrong with this rice, and it's not the same taste with aged rice."

Liu Jian'an has been farming all his life, so it is impossible to be mistaken.

Or Shen Shaoyu said: "This rice shouldn't have been caught in the water!" ”

They just came back to their senses.

Makes sense.

Yang Yujun originally wanted to pour the rice into the rice bowl, but when he said this, he was at a loss for a while carrying the rice bag.

"Can you still eat that?"

"If it's really caught up in the water, don't eat it, there are so many bacteria in the water, and I don't know what they do with this rice, and it's troublesome if you eat it."

"Do you want to throw it away?" Yang Yujun was a little hesitant, many people outside couldn't even eat, so it was really uneasy for her to throw it away.

Lin Wanqiao didn't plan to throw it away.

"Save it first, wait and see, if it's okay for others to eat it, then we'll eat it again."

From that day on, Hu Mingui really began to take people out to get supplies, although every time he came back, he gained something to some extent. It's a pity that there are more monks and less porridge, which does not solve the problem.

Moreover, they did not have professional diving equipment, and they relied on holding their breath to salvage, not to mention that the efficiency was too low, and they tossed down for several days in a row, and several young people fell.

It's not like these people haven't beaten her idea.

With the lessons of the previous times, these people did not dare to fight hard, and began to use bitter meat tricks.

Several old ladies gathered around the entrance of the 16th floor, crying about their miserable life through the iron door, trying to play the emotional card, which can be described as knowing that she was moved by emotion and reason, as if she did not lend them equipment to be a wicked person who cut off their lives.

Lin Wanqiao had already stopped thinking and ignored them at all.

Close the door and howl casually.

When the house was renovated, soundproof cotton was installed, and the security door was closed, so that no sound could be heard at all.

Being able to howl shows that there is still strength.

The old lady at the door howled for an hour, and when she saw that 1602 didn't have the slightest intention of opening the door, she didn't dare to go up and knock on the door, so she could only stop talking.

didn't complete the task, so they could only turn around and find Hu Mingui to find a way.

I knocked for a long time and no one answered.

Who would have thought that Hu Mingui was making a big fuss at home.

At this time, his face turned blue, his eyes were wide with anger, his neck was bruised, and he smashed whatever he touched in his hand, and the dishes and cups on the ground were shattered.

These days, he has been trying to find a way to contact his family, and the news he gets is that he can no longer trade with money.

He has worked hard these days, grovelled, and blocked all his net worth to exchange so much cash, and all of a sudden it became a pile of waste paper!

How can you not be angry!

His wife and daughter saw that Hu Mingui had almost lost his mind at this moment, and he didn't dare to go up to persuade him, so he shrank in the room and trembled.

Hearing the movement through the door, the old ladies didn't dare to touch the mold again, so they could only sneak home.

The 16th floor is full of neuropaths.
