Chapter 54: Prices are skyrocketing
An hour later, the convoy finally arrived at its destination.
Wu Zhao got out of the car with Luo Xiaoxian in his arms, met with Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Shishi, and said goodbye to the fat Taoist. The soldier's brother, who drove for him, continued to send Wu and summoned them home.
The soldier's brother drove the car to the downstairs of the community where Wu Zhao lived, and then said goodbye and left.
Wu Zhao held his daughter in one hand and carried dozens of pounds of tiger hooves in the other, effortlessly.
Originally, he wanted to ask Xiao Ming to come over for a drink together, but after looking at the time, he stopped this idea. After all, night is almost falling, and it is too dangerous to go out at night.
When he got home, Luo Xiaoxian once again urged Wu Zhao to stew the tiger's hooves.
When Wu's father and mother saw it, their faces were a little strange, is it really no problem for a two-year-old child to eat tiger meat? Tiger meat is hot and dry, and the child's physique can stand it?
However, the two elders didn't ask in front of Luo Xiaoxian, lest they be robbed by this smart little granddaughter again, their little granddaughter is too smart to be treated as an ordinary child.
Wu Zhao smiled and coaxed the little guy, "Don't worry, let's go to the Chinese herbal medicine shop downstairs to buy some herbs, and go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities for grandparents by the way......"
It just so happened that there was a vacant room for his parents to live in.
When the landlord sent him a message saying that the rent should be mentioned, Wu Zhao had already told the landlord, that is, the night he went home.
It's natural that rents have gone up, so many people have poured into the city, and the housing prices in the city have risen like that, and if the rent doesn't go up, it's a strange thing.
Even if the government provides simple housing for the people, it cannot stop the rise in housing prices and rents.
Originally, it needed about 5,000 for two bedrooms and one living room a month, but now it costs 10,000.
Imagine how ordinary office workers can easily afford the sudden skyrocketing housing prices and rents?
Fortunately, the whole country has now entered a state of war readiness, and the streets are full of soldiers and patrol police, which has not caused social turmoil.
The crime rate in society is still suppressed, and it can even be said that it is lower than before.
It's just that demon mutations happen from time to time, and in terms of the number of deaths alone, it has increased a lot compared to the past, and it can even be said that it has increased several times.
However, this is also a helpless thing. Compared with other countries, the Chinese ethnic group living in this land has the lowest mortality rate in the world.
Even the world's most powerful country on the other side of the ocean can't compare.
And the countries with the highest mortality rate in demonic events are those countries that are at war.
The blood mist is still rising, and panic is still hanging over people's hearts.
Walking on the street, you can find pedestrians with their heads bowed and walking in a hurry.
Although it looks lively, there is a lot of traffic, and pedestrians are even more crowded. But there is no sense of hustle and bustle of the past, and the atmosphere is a little eeriely silent.
Even the sound of car horns on the street has a feeling of weakness.
However, no one seems to think that this is anything strange.
Wu's father and mother are also like the pedestrians on the road, they came to this big city for the first time, but they did not have the desire to look around, but their steps were a little heavy, and their expressions were a little anxious.
Especially when they arrived at the supermarket and saw that the prices in the supermarket were about 50% higher than usual, the look on their faces became even more worried.
Seeing this, Wu Zhao stopped holding his daughter, and waited for his parents to come up before and after, and then he said: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I still have a lot of savings! Let's go to see the house tomorrow ......."
As he spoke, Wu Zhao's mobile phone rang.
It was Luo Li who came in, but unfortunately, it wasn't Lori, but a big bear.
Luo Li's demon spirit is a bear, and now he has officially joined the Spirit Army.
"Brother Zhao, are you back in Dragon City?"
"How do you know?" Wu Zhao asked with a smile a little strange.
Luo Li said: "Someone from my side is looking for me, let me introduce you to you, it is the leader of the Imperial Spirit Army, are you free now?
"What's the matter?" Wu Zhao frowned slightly, and secretly wondered: Could it be that the Spirit Guards are now free to drink tea with a folk Spirit Guardian like him who has not been registered?
"Brother Zhao, have you ever killed a tiger?
Hearing this, Wu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"This leader has an elder who needs some tiger bones for medicine, can you sell some?"
Wu Zhao was a little speechless, and secretly thought: Can I refuse this kind of thing?
But on the surface, Wu Zhao still smiled and said: "There is no problem, since it is medicine, it must be to cure diseases and save people, this kind of thing, how can there be a reason not to help." ”
"That's great, we'll be downstairs in your house in twenty minutes, is it convenient for you?"
"Convenient! Call me when it's time to get there, I'll see you in a minute!"
"See you later!"
Putting away the phone, his daughter Luo Xiaoxian looked at him faintly and said, "Daddy, do you want to sell the big meow meat again?
Wu Zhao smiled and stretched out his hand to nod her little Yao nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, how can Daddy sell all that big meow meat! However, since someone wants a little bone to cure the disease, then wouldn't it be great for us to sell a little bone and do something good?"
"Well...... "Little fairy fairy tilted her little head and thought for a while, and said, "Daddy, that can only be sold for one......!
"Okay, it's all up to our fairy baby!"
Then the family went to the supermarket to buy some bedding, toothbrushes, towels and other things.
What originally cost only a few hundred yuan can reach more than a thousand at once.
Fortunately, Wu Zhao is not short of money now, otherwise he will definitely feel pain.
It is conceivable that if ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, if they don't panic, it will be called a strange thing.
Wu Zhao can feel that the current people have a tight string in their hearts, if it goes on like this, this string will collapse more and more tightly, and there will definitely be a day when it will break.
When the time comes, I really don't know what will happen.
However, even if he thought of this possibility, Wu Zhao just thought about it, he was just a. This kind of problem is naturally up to the city government to worry about.
After leaving the supermarket, Wu Zhao went to the big pharmacy next door and bought some Chinese herbs, which were used to remove the smell and dryness of tiger meat. This one asked the chef at the bald guy Xu Ding's house.
Xu Ding's cooks obviously didn't stew tiger meat for him for the first time, and they made it twice cooked.
As a result, before they came out of the big pharmacy, the phone in Wu Zhao's pocket rang again.
It was still Luo Li who came in, saying that they had arrived downstairs in the community where he lived.
