Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Outer Circle East Farmers Market

When Zhang Youfan and his son went to the rice and flour area, they found that the prices of all grains had increased. The rice that was originally 20 points per catty became 35 points, and the flour that was originally 25 points per catty increased to 40 points. In addition, the prices of other grains were also adjusted. However, compared with the fresh food area, the increase in rice and flour was still within the normal range, but the prices of vegetables and fruits were really jaw-dropping.

In the end times, because the soil has been severely damaged by acid rain, coupled with the influence of weather and environment, the crops, vegetables, and fruits cultivated in the current planting environment can no longer be compared with those before the end times. The fruits lack sweet taste, and the vegetables have become bitter and astringent, and the yield per acre of mature land is extremely low. For example, before the end times, one acre of land could yield tens of thousands of kilograms of tomatoes, but after the end times, each acre of land could only yield less than two thousand kilograms, and most of the fruits were of varying quality, causing fruit farmers to suffer.

Even though fruits and vegetables are expensive, they are rich in vitamins, which the human body cannot lack for a long time, otherwise it will cause low immunity and even easily cause various diseases.

Zhang Guoming walked to the vegetable section. He originally planned to buy some fresh tomatoes and pumpkins to supplement vitamins for the children and the elderly at home. Unexpectedly, the price of tomatoes, which were not cheap on weekdays, doubled, and even pumpkins were sold for nearly 50 points per pound.

"You are deliberately raising prices and disrupting market order. I will report you to the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau!"

An old lady stood in front of a fruit and vegetable stall with her hands on her hips, angrily yelling at a middle-aged man who was sitting on a chair playing with his mobile phone.

"That's right. How come the price of tomatoes I bought from you yesterday has increased so much today? Boss, even if you want to make money you can't do it this way. Isn't this taking advantage of someone's misfortune?" Another woman in her thirties also joined the war of words.

The fruit and vegetable owner lazily raised his head and sneered, "If you want to report it, just report it. The price of vegetables is adjusted according to the situation. Don't talk about mine. Go to other stalls or markets. If you can find cheaper ones with such good quality, I will immediately compensate you. Otherwise, you can buy it or not. Don't you know what the situation is now? The inner circle and the outside of the city are full of zombies. These vegetables can't be transported in. If the price is not raised, they would have been snatched up long ago."

The aunt's face turned red. She knew the same situation in other markets. She had just come from a market near her community. The target consumers of the market were white-collar workers in nearby office buildings, so the prices had always been high. Today, the prices of all kinds of vegetables and meat in the market were so expensive that people were reluctant to go there. So she turned around and chose this farmers' market which was far from home but had relatively low prices.

But who knew that after the base broadcast the news in the morning, vegetable farmers immediately raised the prices of the vegetables they had, and now the prices are almost catching up with those in the supply and marketing cooperatives and supermarkets.

"Even if that's the case, you can't raise the price so much. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for us?"

"Yes, yes, this is a special period, and we should unite and help each other."

Seeing a group of people surrounding the fruit and vegetable owner, the owner was not panicked at all. He stood up slowly, stretched his waist, and pointed to the door of a supermarket opposite. "See over there? There are more vegetables and fruits over there than I do. If you don't like it, just go in and buy some."
