(); Update time:--
In the early morning of the next day, the sky had just cleared up, and the exchange points at the entrance of the camp were already crowded with people. More people showed up this day than yesterday, and most of them were concentrated in small-value exchange points. One, as if it was agreed in advance, no one is willing to be the early bird, they would rather exchange a little bit for a small amount than be remembered by the camp.
Zhang Huai'an and Wang Le and Lu Xiaobu looked at the dense crowd in front of them together, frowning. Whether it was recruiting manpower or building a raft that could hold food, it would take time, but yesterday, the scattered exchange eyes made the camp Half of the stored food is still there, and on the premise that there is no large amount of exchange, if someone suddenly withdraws a large amount today, they really don't know what to do.
After eating too early, the staff entered the exchange point one after another. They put up a large wooden sign in front of the table, which said point exchange, and then guards with rifles entered the field, guarding the side, followed by countless rice bags containing food. Use a cart to push to the weighing place to accumulate.
The time passed by second by second, neither of the changers spoke or made any noise, waiting for the official exchange to start, looking at the countless people holding rice tickets, Zhang Huai'an's throat was a little dry, and the raft that transported food could only be moved in the afternoon. With the preparations in place, they must survive today, or they will fall out before the food arrives.
When the sun is officially radiating scorching heat, the exchange begins. The quiet scene is like cold water splashing in a hot oil pan, and there is a lot of noise. The crowd lined up in a long line, looking at the food bags piled up in front of them on their toes, and those who are interested are staring at the camp. The speed and frequency at which food is transported out of the country.
"I want to exchange twenty tons..."
A loud shout shocked the entire venue, and everyone turned their heads silently, looking at the man who shouted that he wanted to exchange twenty tons. Three tons or more is considered a large amount of exchange, and twenty tons is considered a large amount of large amounts.
The man who shouted was not very old, with a fierce face, bald green skin, and more than a dozen vertical and horizontal scars on the green skin's head, which added to his aura. As he looked around, the scars seemed to come to life.
Behind him were more than a dozen men with knives and sticks. Of course, these people put away their knives and sticks obediently, and did not even dare to point their blades at the camp. Behind them, more than a hundred people were pushing carts, carrying The pole seems to be ready to carry.
Forty large-value rice tickets of one thousand catties fell firmly on the large-value exchange point. The man with a fierce face pretended to look up and looked around. There was only a flash of fear and fear in his eyes. The occasional cramp in the calf proved that this man was not as fierce as he appeared.
The staff at the exchange point looked at the four large-value rice tickets on the table with steel seals and serial numbers engraved on them. Then they turned their heads and looked at Zhang Huaian. Zhang Huaian stared fiercely at the person who wanted to exchange rice with a dark face Guy, hesitated for three or two seconds, nodded fiercely, and explained to Wang Le beside him:
"Is there any problem with your rice ticket? As long as there is a problem with one, I will peel off his skin..."
That man didn't know that he had unintentionally become a leader. He was one of the rising forces. He didn't have much money in his hands and was too young to survive the anxiety in his heart. He came here in exchange for twenty tons of rice. His rice ticket There is no problem, but it has opened a head for other small forces, and people have come to exchange them one after another.
There were more and more people changing, Zhang Huai'an's complexion was getting darker and darker, the food reserves in the camp continued to decrease, and before noon, they might even have to change out the food for dinner.
Time passed by every minute and every second, Zhang Huaian and Huang Tingwei almost counted the seconds until the end of the exchange, Zhang Huaian's coat and underwear were all sweaty, not hot, but anxious, he had already panicked, according to With this posture, he didn't have to wait until the point, and he might run out of food in less than half an hour.
"What do you say...? Our food supply has bottomed out. Just now, the people in charge of the granary reported that we have less than ten tons of rice left. The corn is still bad, isn't it?" Do we use corn for rice?"
Zhang Huaian was also in a hurry, and came up with a solution that was not a solution, and he was blaming himself in his heart. After the corn was brought back earlier, he used the corn as emergency food and put it at the bottom of the warehouse. Who wants to eat corn when there is rice? Who knows that this situation will happen, once it is not handled well, all the plans may be in vain.
"How about...I'll go find Liu Zhenghua, make him ready, and then forcibly disperse..."
Huang Tingwei also panicked, he couldn't change the rice, the only thing he could think of was to borrow a knife to kill people, let Liu Zhenghua come forward, transfer the anger of everyone to Liu Zhenghua, rely on Liu Zhenghua's power to buy them time, deliver the rice overnight, and start free exchange tomorrow morning , that is, they only need an hour.
"No...Liu Zhenghua said a long time ago that as long as there is no problem with the food, he will be fine, because he won't help us subdue the entire gathering place, so we can only rely on ourselves."
Zhang Huaian always likes to think about bad results. There are still ten tons of rice and more than one hundred tons of corn in the camp. It is really impossible. He exchanges two catties for one catty. He can survive today, although he will be taken advantage of But it can stabilize people's hearts. If you don't have the confidence, who would dare to pay two catties of grain for one catty
"Why don't you start looking for someone now, three catties of rice every day, we will give rice tickets first... Forget that I didn't say..."
Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but interjected, and when he said the word rice ticket, the others glared at him, and he realized that it seemed that the rice ticket was only a thread away from waste paper, and now he could only give him food that could fit in his stomach.
"Go...you find people, each person has three catties of corn per day, go and drag the corn out. We will give the corn first, and then they will go to take a bath and change clothes. I would rather let people wait for the boat than let the boat wait for people..."
Zhang Huaian can only come up with a solution that is not a solution. He hopes to use corn to divert the attention of those people. Let’s wait until today. Zhang Huaian’s corn has just been displayed, and Zhang Xiaotian is recruiting workers on the spot with a loudspeaker. Let alone, really Some people came over, and they were all poor people with small rice tickets. They only had three or four catties of rice tickets, and they didn't know how long they would have to wait in line.
Hundreds of people scattered here, Zhang Xiaotian stood in front of them, and said with great fanfare that he would take them to Huxin Island to carry food. Although he said it was for the temporary workers, the crowd in the distance could also hear it. See the camp Seemingly confident, some people couldn't stand the heat and ran to the side to have fun, but most people still stood there, waiting for the exchange. After all, no one had seen the food on the island in the middle of the lake.
When more than a dozen scattered people withdrew from the exchange, Huang Tingwei's eyes lit up, and he thought of a wonderful way, a way that would make people feel at ease.
"Okay!!! This method is good, let's do it like this, you quickly arrange people to go to Huxin Island immediately, everything is your needs as the first goal, as long as this method is good, Brother Cockroach will come back and report to you... "
Zhang Huai'an was overjoyed when he heard Huang Tingwei's method. With this method and the evidence of the food brought back, no one doubted that they had no food.
Huang Tingwei turned around to attend to his important affairs, while Zhang Huai'an ordered the people below to use a forklift to move out all the corn and stack them at the gate of the camp. Thousands of sacks were neatly placed together, which was spectacular and at the same time let The hot changer at noon breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Old Zhang...be careful...we have received fake food stamps..."
