food crisis [end times]

Even if you get out of here, it doesn't matter if you can't remember where you have been, at least you have been here.

Zhu Yan pulled Xiang Luo and went straight to the largest shopping mall nearby.Then he walked up from downstairs to first floor.There is an independent generator here, so the lighting, elevators, etc. that were in use before the end of the world are all running.

But if you look up, you will find that most of the lighting lights have been removed, and there is only one light in about five or six positions.

But this kind of lighting is just enough to see every place, not too dazzling, nor too dark.

There is air-conditioning inside, but the air-conditioning is not very low, it is not very cool, but it is much better than the heat outside.

Most of the shops here are under bidding, and each floor has different themes as before the end of the world, and each floor has a person in police uniform or military uniform leading a team of security uniforms. People were patrolling back and forth, and although it wasn't exactly full of people inside, it was still very lively.

Xiang Luo said: "Our side, I don't remember that there were so many people before. Or it's because this is the capital, so it's so lively."

Zhu Yan said: "Ten years back, our side is as lively as it is. It's not that the online merchants have hit the dimensionality reduction. If we also open such a place over there, it won't be much worse than here, at most it will be less tricky. Refer to the market , isn’t there more market now than in the past?”

Just like online merchants hit offline, takeaway hit instant noodles.With richer choices, you don't have to face merchants.You don't have to be slaughtered because of your thin skin, and you don't have to worry about the disputes and rights protection issues caused by the return and exchange of defective products.Individuals will choose more convenient and efficient channels.

It's just obvious, obviously, the rise of online merchants won't happen anytime soon.

Although this is a storefront, it is actually not much better than a stall.At most, the environment is cleaner and more beautiful, and the goods are more complete.I didn't see anything I liked on the first floor, most of them were women's products.Although they intend to buy something for those who live well in the village or their relatives, they don't understand and are not in a hurry to buy it now.I just looked at several of them who were in the sewing business, and there were a few restored photos at the door.The torn clothes can hardly be seen after they have been repaired, which is far more decent than having a patch in one's own home.

Maybe it just hit everyone's needs, and there are quite a few people in this kind of store.

Zhu Yan leaned closer to Xiang Luo and said, "I heard that old Beijing used to have a business called mending the poor. Usually it was mending clothes for the poor on the roadside. The price was cheap, and the people who mended were basically ordinary people who specialized in tatters."

Now that a similar industry has emerged again, it is naturally a step back in time.

"It's not the same. In the past, when I went back to find someone to sew, it was basically because there was no woman at home to do needlework. Or I needed to repair as soon as possible when I went to work far away from home. Now... probably almost no one can do needlework anymore. It’s ugly to make do with it, so someone finds a business opportunity.”

"The old clothes should still be there." At least the old clothes are the most difficult to sell in the market in my hometown, because there are too many, even if someone buys them, they will sell more than they buy in front of so many clothes.When it is relatively difficult to have a full stomach, no one cares about what they wear.It's really broken, just patch it.Life is difficult, so don't dislike anyone.

Xiang Luo only said: "Who knows if the old clothes are gathered together to make something else. Or simply there are too many frugal people nowadays. After all, people everywhere are not as particular about what to wear as we are."

The Northeast may have developed heavy industry relatively early, and people's conditions improved rapidly in those years.So it is very particular about dressing.Wearing it until now, the previous generation still thinks that people would rather eat bran and swallow vegetables than have good clothes that can meet distinguished guests.This is both self-decency and respect for the other party.

So no matter how difficult it is, you have to buy good clothes during the holidays.

But apart from Chinese New Year, clothes in Northeast China are not selling very well now.

It just seems that there are few similar ideas outside the Northeast.This kind of clothing culture is similar to the saying that girls must make up to show respect before the end of the world.People who agree with it regard it as the Bible, and those who don't agree feel that there is a hole in their brains.

In addition to clothing and mending, there are also some homemade toys and gadgets, such as dolls sewn in small steps and bags woven with wool.Most of the workmanship is excellent, and the selling price is not high.

Xiang Luo saw a simple and cute little black cat at a glance. He felt that the material was not very good, but the stuffing inside was very tight, and the pair of small eyes were crafty and cute. Xiang Luo turned to look at the doll. Looking at Zhu Yan, I looked back and forth several times, and the more I looked, the more I looked like him.

What Zhu Yan saw was a small embroidered pouch, or a lucky bag, a small one.The shopkeeper is introducing it to him enthusiastically.

"This lucky bag was repaired by me and my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law learned it seriously, and the craftsmanship is very good. The peach pits in it can be used for disaster relief and evil spirits. If you have good jade at home, you can also put it in it to eliminate disasters. !” The stall owner knew that they were the masters who could consume when they saw the two.And obviously what Zhu Yan got was more valuable.

Zhu Yan turned his head and shook Xiang Luo.

"It's troublesome to carry." Xiang Luo said.

The shop owner hurriedly said: "What's the trouble? If you find it troublesome to hang around your neck, you can also hang it on your waist, keychain, or car keys. It's the same. It's not big anyway, so you can carry it with you when you go out. Be at ease."

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "How do you know we are not local?"

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly: "Listen to the accent. And you smell like shower gel. To be honest, not everyone can afford it now. Those who can afford this, if they were in How can it be impossible to come and take a stroll in the city. If I have visited, I will definitely have an impression."

People who have been doing business for many years are very accurate in identifying people, which also strengthens the foundation of what they can sell.

Zhu Yan really likes her cleverness: "Let's pack two."

No price was asked at all.Then Zhu Yan looked at the handmade doll in Xiang Luo's hand: "I didn't even know you liked this."

Xiang Luo raised a kitten's paw, waved it and laughed, "The more I look at it, the more I look like you."

Zhu Yan twitched the corners of his lips, and turned his head without looking at him.Xiang Luo rubbed the little black cat into his arms: "It looks like a hug. Boss, I want this too."

Seeing that the two of them bought things without bargaining, the clerk was very happy to sell them: "Don't buy another bracelet or something? We still have red strings here. My grandma knows that if you can make amulets for them, just I tied my wrist with a bracelet, and everyone who used it said it was easy to use!"

Xiang Luo just wanted to say that I don't believe that, but then he thought that he can have predictive dreams, and things like metaphysics are generally things that you can believe or not.

"How much?" Xiang Luo asked.

"Ten yuan a piece is really not expensive!"

Ten points for one piece is almost a day's ration money for a family of three.A person's daily salary ranges from 15 points to 30 points, depending on the size of his contribution and importance.So even for normal people, ten points is not too high.However, it is actually a bit expensive to buy a rope that I don't know if it is useful.

Metaphysics, from price to usefulness, is all metaphysics.

After deciding what to buy, Xiang Luo handed over the deposit card.Zhu Yan asked casually, "Is there no gift?"

The shopkeeper then took out a bag of candy from under the counter: "You will get a bag of candy if you spend over [-], and you can get more if you spend [-]."

Zhu Yan would be gone if he didn't ask.Xiang Luo picked up the candies, but a pack of them was only four or five yuan.It is a package that did not exist before the end of the world, and it should be specially distributed after the end of the world.

As soon as this came out, Xiang Luo didn't have a good impression of this store, and left after packing his things.If it weren't for this one, the two of them might go shopping again, and if they had this, they would almost never come here.

Xiang Luo walked some distance before arriving: "We should negotiate the price."

The two didn't negotiate the price, because they spent money that wasn't their own, and they didn't want to use the money after it left the capital.Secondly, I also feel that it is not easy for the shop owner to start a small business in the last days, and let him make money if he makes money.

As a result, the other party really took the two of them as winners.If you change someone, you can't wait to pile up gifts with gifts, and try to get the other party to buy more later.She didn't ask and didn't mention it at all, which was very annoying.

A bag of sugar is of course nothing.But that's not the case.

Zhu Yan knew: "I guess they thought we would leave after a day or two, and didn't prepare for the next business at all."

Although the people who can come in from the outside are basically one in a hundred, but there are also some businessmen who do business and leave within two days.The attitude of the two of them is obviously to buy souvenirs, so it is no wonder that the clerk is sure that the two can't buy anything, and then fooled the matter.

"Then let's see if she gets it wrong someday." Xiang Luo didn't intend to mess with this matter.But that doesn't mean she won't meet irritable people.

This means that the attitude of the clerk is not bad.If the attitude was worse, Xiang Luo could just throw away the packed things and leave without buying.

Continue to walk forward, and even saw a beauty massage studio with a signboard.This is the first time the two have seen this in the last days.

"I don't know if cupping can be done." Xiang Luo asked curiously.

Xiang Luo used to work a lot of physical strength, and because he was harassed by the premonition of the end of the world, he often had related nightmares.So sleep quality is not very good.Poor sleep plus sometimes too much physical exertion.It will cause backache and back pain. When he is free, Xiang Luo will go to cupping to relax. Anyway, the price is cheap.

"Go in and ask if you don't know." Zhu Yan pushed Xiang Luo, and the two walked inside.

As soon as I walked in, I saw three men coming out. The leading man was not tall and not very good-looking, but his eyebrows were raised horizontally, and his expression was impatient and arrogant.

"A company like yours will close down sooner or later! You still have massages, and you have the nerve to talk about massages if you don't have anything?"

Two tall men on both sides helped him together, and showed a fierce face to the male boss who sent him out. The male boss had a bad complexion, but he still managed to smile and said helplessly: "We are regular businessmen, and we don't dare to do it." Such a business! Now that the supervision is strict, I was really caught, not only my shop is dirty, but we also went in if we can’t manage it.”

The man ignored his begging and yelled arrogantly, but the boss was obviously quite afraid of him, so he could only keep saying good things.

At this time, the short man was startled when he turned around and saw Zhu Yan who was eating melon.
