After the disaster

After returning home, Qiu Cheng searched the Internet for issues related to the South, and searched through many forums and websites before finally finding a post about this matter.

The post said that he had a relative who was engaged in transportation and went to the south. Recently, the country has set up checkpoints on several main roads in the south to control the flow of food there to the north. It is said that the previous virus still needs to be studied , After the danger is completely eliminated, the control in this area will be lifted.

However, there are policies and there are countermeasures. Now many places in the north have not yet harvested. The price of grain there is higher than that in the south. The profit in the middle is huge. The main road is not allowed to go, and some people sneak around. , and some people hired porters to carry them to the north...

There are a lot of followers below, all expressing their shock and worry about this incident, and of course some interrupted by throwing cold water on it.

For those who earnestly replied to the post and asked some questions, the host also provided some answers below. Qiu Cheng flipped through the post page by page, and when he turned to the seventh page, the words "this post does not exist" popped up , and soon, the account of the poster was blocked.

Qiu Cheng sat in front of the computer desk with a heavy heart. He also wanted to say something online like the landlord just now, reminding everyone to be careful, but what could he say? Could it be that there was something wrong with the seeds he detected with his spiritual power?

A small number of people on Weibo are reposting a message, the content is only a short line: "There is a large amount of grain and seeds in the south that are flowing to the north. Please be careful!"

Qiu Cheng reposted this microblog five times, contacted many public figures who were concerned about people's livelihood issues and had certain influence in society, and then turned off the computer and went offline.

After going offline, Qiu Cheng took Ah Chang to Wang's house again.

Because the Wang family will get up early tomorrow morning to make tofu, they are already asleep at this time, and the gate of the courtyard was slammed, and Wang Boss and Wang Laoer were startled. Shirtless picked up the guy to meet in the yard.

"Who?" Boss Wang's voice tightened.

"It's me, Qiu Cheng." Qiu Cheng replied.

"Oh, it's Qiu Cheng, wait a minute." Boss Wang put down the steel rod in his hand, stretched out his hand to rub his face, and went to open the door for Qiu Cheng.

"Are you already asleep?" The courtyard door opened, and Qiu Cheng walked in with Ah Chang.

"Hey, it doesn't matter. What's the matter with you guys coming so late?" Boss Wang knew that Qiu Cheng was not a reckless person. Since he came here tonight, there must be something wrong.

"I just read a post on the Internet, and I feel uneasy. I plan to go to the provincial capital tomorrow." Qiu Cheng said.

"What post?" Wang Laoer asked aloud.

"It is said that a lot of grain and seeds from the south are flowing towards us." Qiu Cheng replied.

"Then the news didn't say..." Wang Laoer paused when he said this. When he read the news, he was actually a little skeptical, but people have a herd mentality. It seems that everyone doesn't think this Taking things seriously, he gradually let go of them, and now the days seem to be getting better, and no one wants anything to happen again.

"Are you here to fetch moldy tofu?" Boss Wang's mind was turning faster than his two younger brothers.

"How many moldy tofu we made before are ready to sell?" Qiu Cheng asked.

Before, Qiu Cheng heard from the brothers of the Wang family that the first batch of moldy tofu was ready to be opened, and asked him when he planned to sell it, because this product was resistant to storage, so Qiu Cheng was not in a hurry, and said that he would wait for the next few batches to mature. Pull them together to the provincial capital to sell them.

After Qiu Cheng sent the first batch of beans to make moldy tofu for them, he quickly shipped another batch of beans back from the provincial capital, and the Wang family made several batches of moldy tofu successively, and the time interval in between was not very long.

"The second batch is alright, and the third batch is still alive." Boss Wang said.

"Is it very raw? How does it taste?" Qiu Cheng asked.

"It's okay. People who don't have a bad mouth actually can't get much out of eating." For the sake of reputation, the Wang family has always made moldy tofu in strict accordance with the highest standards. If Qiu Cheng wants to make do with it, it's not impossible.

"Then let's go together for the first three batches. I will drive here at around six o'clock tomorrow morning." Qiu Cheng said.

"Okay, it's all in this yard. You can come and get it anytime." Wang's family is in the country, and now there are only the old man, the old lady and a few children left. Put the things there, in case someone will get it wrong. , The batch of moldy tofu made in my hometown before was also moved to this yard by Boss Wang and his brothers.

"I plan to bring another batch of tofu. Is there still time to soak the beans to make tofu?" Qiu Cheng asked again.

"How much do you want?" Wang Er Er asked.For other matters in the family, among the brothers, the eldest brother Wang has always had the most say, but the second child Wang has the final say on the matter of making tofu.

"As much as you can do." Qiu Cheng said.

"Then remember to drive a truck over tomorrow." Wang Laoer said, and went into the house to carry beans.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's make a count of the batch of tofu tomorrow. I need the cornmeal in exchange for urgent needs. When the time comes, it will be deducted from my dividend for this month. If it is not enough, it will be deducted next month." Qiu Cheng said to Boss Wang.

"Okay." Nodded in response.

"Also, your family should have stored some cornmeal before, right? Let's eat those in the future, and put the cornmeal collected in the next few days, let's see how the situation develops." Qiu Cheng finally reminded the Wang family people.

"I see, don't worry, we know it in our hearts." Boss Wang knew that Qiu Cheng was not the kind of person who would tremble when he heard the slightest disturbance. Since he reacted so strongly this time, there must be some reason, and they also Just be careful, it's always right.

Having explained everything that should be explained, Qiu Cheng had other things to do, so he took Ah Chang home.

They are going to dig up the potatoes on the [-]th floor tonight. Originally, Qiu Cheng planned to save these potatoes until the afternoon after tomorrow to dig them up and sell them at the night market. It took a day or so, which would have some impact on the production. Qiu Cheng Cheng can't control that much anymore.

When the two of them came back from the night market, it was already late. Qiu Cheng surfed the Internet for a while, and then went to the courtyard of the Wang family. When he got home and finished digging the potatoes, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. up.

"Sleep for a while, we will go out later." After packing the last batch of potatoes in sacks, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang returned directly from 1506 to 1406.

Because the opening on this floor is too small, and there is no place to focus on, it is a bit inconvenient to go up and down.Qiu Cheng drove a thick iron nail into the wall next to him a few days ago, and hung a rope down from the hole. Both Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang were very agile. With this rope, going up and down the stairs was easy. It just got easier.

"Hmm..." Ah Chang yawned, seeing that Qiu Cheng himself was not planning to go to sleep, but was meditating cross-legged at the door of the terrace, so he didn't go to the bedroom, dragged a cushion to nest beside Qiu Cheng, and then Fell asleep within a few minutes.

At four o'clock in the morning, Qiu Cheng came out of meditation and stayed up all night. Although he was still a little tired physically, his spirit was still very clear.

Seeing that Ah Chang was still sleeping soundly next to him, Qiu Cheng didn't wake him up, took some cornmeal, thought for a while, and followed Ah Chang's example, quietly turned downstairs from his own balcony, and reached the On the thirteenth floor, climb over the railing to enter the house, and then go out from 1306.

In the past, he didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing, but since he succeeded in building the foundation, his reaction speed and physical sensitivity have been greatly improved. What he thought was extremely dangerous before, Now it has become a pediatrics.

When going down the stairs, Qiu Cheng felt that someone was following him, although he didn't hear footsteps, so he turned his head abruptly.

"!" Ah Chang stood on the steps behind Qiu Cheng, grinning at him with a hint of cunning and complacency in his eyes.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Qiu Cheng walked over to hold his hand, and they went downstairs together.

"Hmm." Ah Chang replied vaguely.

Qiu Cheng's palms were warm, which seemed a bit cold compared to Ah Chang's body temperature, but he didn't know why, he just felt warm in his heart, as if he couldn't think about anything in his head, even going down the stairs. All the steps were taken by Qiu Cheng.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Jiayuan community looked very deserted, but there were lights in the windows of several families.

Because there are a lot of insects in their area recently, many people in Jiayuan community have to go to the nearby fields to catch insects all night, like the turtle Huang and the others, they hire people to catch insects, and those who cannot afford to hire people have no choice. It counts as much as you can catch.

There are also some young people in the home community who get up at four or five o'clock in the morning, go to the neighborhood to catch some bugs to earn some extra money, and leave in a hurry when it is time to go to work.

So there will be some people coming and going in and out of the community during this period, but after all, there are very few people. Qiu Cheng and the others walked all the way, but they didn't meet anyone. When they left the Jiayuan community on a tricycle, they got on the main road in front of them. , you can see that many people are busy in the field.

When they went to the car rental shop, Qiu Cheng slammed the shutter door. They had been here a few times before, and they were already familiar with this car rental shop. They knew that the boss and employees lived inside.

"Who is it?" An impatient male voice came from inside.

"Rent a car." Qiu Cheng returned.

"Wait a minute." The owner of the car rental shop pricked up his ears and recognized him as a regular customer. His attitude changed immediately.

"Do you still want that pickup truck?" The boss opened the shutter door and asked Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang standing outside.

"I want a truck this time. It doesn't need to be too big, just medium." Qiu Cheng went in carrying cornmeal, and Ah Chang followed behind him.

"Do you want to bring a carriage? What do you think of the one over there?" The boss yawned and took Qiu Cheng and the others to see a truck.

"How about this car, won't there be any problems on the way?" Qiu Cheng saw that the size of the car was not bad, but it looked too old, so he was worried about something going wrong on the road.

"Don't worry, I can't cheat you, I still want to do business next time. This car doesn't look good, the core inside is very strong, and it runs much more vigorously than the pickup truck you rented before."

The boss tried his best to sell it, and the rent of this car was more expensive than the pickup truck that Qiu Cheng rented before, and it also consumed more gas.

"That's fine, that's it." Qiu Cheng didn't waste time, he saw that there was no more suitable one in this car rental company, so he decided on it.

Because I am a regular customer, I don't need to register my identity or anything. I signed the agreement, paid the rent and bought some diesel. I put the tricycle I rode in the compartment and drove the truck home.

Back in Jiayuan Community, Qiu Cheng and A Chang first moved the potatoes harvested yesterday to the car, then moved a few relatively light shelves into the car, and moved all the peppers from the terrace on the fifteenth floor , A basket is placed on the shelf in the car.

In a day or two, the next batch of pepper seedlings will almost start to bear fruit. Qiu Cheng decided to sell all the previous peppers as a whole to earn a fortune first.

After packing these things, the next step is to go to the yard of the Wang family to pack moldy tofu and fresh tender tofu.

Because it was still dark at this time, Qiu Cheng did not take the risk of taking the small road by the river, but took the main road outside, made a detour, and then drove to the area where the Wang family's courtyard was located.

When the car passed by the alley of Shen Xing's house, Qiu Cheng stopped the car and asked Ah Chang to wait here. He got out of the car and entered the alley by himself, and slammed the gate of Shen Xing's house for a long time. , there was absolutely no movement inside.

"Shen Xing, it's me." Qiu Cheng shouted.

"What's the matter?" After a while, Shen Xing came out of the courtyard and opened the door carefully.

"You can talk about that factory building today, and I'll give you the cornmeal tonight, and the ownership will be transferred tomorrow," Qiu Cheng said.

"What's the matter? I'm going to suppress the price again, and now he's determined to ask for 680 catties of cornmeal." Shen Xing was a little unhappy, and according to her plan, giving him 550 catties of cornmeal would be the best.

"Don't waste time, listen to me, hurry up and buy the factory, and then immediately start introducing technology and fish fry. If it is too late, this fishery may be ruined."

Those problematic seeds in the south still have problems when they arrive at their side. Qiu Cheng has already confirmed this matter himself. The country cannot suppress the problematic grain and seeds from flowing to the north. If it continues like this, sooner or later something will happen. , if you want to go to the eastern region at that time, it must be difficult.

"..." Shen Xing was silent for a while, and finally said: "All right, I will listen to you."
