Fu Anan's dream of getting rich was well-founded, so he could only let Brother Camel down for a while. Fu Anan, who had figured it out, thanked the boss and walked happily to the kitchen.
She still had some gold sand left in her pocket, and she planned to exchange it all for firewood to cook the food in the space.
But when she actually arrived at the kitchen, she found that the price of firewood had doubled from the day before. She could originally buy enough gold sand, but now she could only buy half of it.
“How come even firewood is expensive!”
Fu Anan said unexpectedly.
Not only firewood, but also cassava roots, meat, fruits, water... all supplies have become expensive.
Just yesterday at noon, many local residents of Gobi gathered together, and suddenly after saying something, their personalities changed drastically.
First of all, the number of people fetching water was twice as much as usual. Travelers and merchants in other places were restricted in the amount of water they could buy, and could only fill half a bucket of water every day, and the price remained the same as before.
Then the residents stopped selling things and started buying things. The merchants were frantically snatching away the food, fruits, medicines and other supplies they brought to their businesses. The merchants reacted in the afternoon and quickly raised the prices, but they still couldn't avoid this problem.
These prices were driven up by the local residents of the Gobi Desert. Their abnormal state gave people a feeling that a storm was about to come.
Fu Anan inexplicably felt that the prices of these materials could continue to rise. She looked at the purchasing power of the gold sand in her hands and felt a little regretful. Then she made up her mind and used all her money to buy firewood.
When firewood is limited, raw meat can be regarded as sashimi. Overcoming the psychological impact will not affect consumption, and parasites will not cause significant harm to the human body in the short term.
But cassava root is slightly toxic, and if it is not cooked thoroughly, it will cause poisoning, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and nausea, so all the firewood must be used to cook the cassava root.
After being boiled in water, this thing tastes like white potatoes, but the texture is a little denser. There are finger-long fibers in the meat, which makes it difficult to chew and digest.
But I'm very hungry.
You will be full after eating a piece that is as long as your palm.
Game Day 5
Fu Anan got up and heard the conversation between the other tenants as expected.
Water prices have risen again, and the quantities have become smaller.
The same goes for food and daily necessities.
The natives here only buy and don't sell. What's the use of making money? They can't live without supplies. A small camel caravan outside is discussing when to leave.
Ever since he noticed the price issue, Fu Anan has been paying some attention to this matter.
People in the Gobi Desert began to buy supplies without regard for the consequences, turning a buyer's market into a seller's market.
The proprietress here is the most typical example. Every day someone comes to deliver the supplies she bought. Many of the empty rooms are filled with large barrels of water, raw materials for making food, salt, spices, and medicines.
As if preparing to take refuge.
Fu Anan sat in the room doing nothing all day, watching people coming in and out, and yawned heavily.
She has been staying in bed lately, but she always feels like she doesn't get enough sleep. She gets up in the morning when the sun is bright, but she has to take a nap during the day.
Perhaps the long days and short nights here disrupted her biological clock. Fu Anan rubbed her eyes and waited for the sun to shine brightest to take a nap. At that time, the sun was the hottest and she couldn't go out.
Who knew that when she woke up from a nap, she suddenly heard horrible news - the groundwater had dried up!
Good night everyone~
