food crisis [end times]

Hearing someone say that someone in the village has started to sell mushrooms, everyone in Xiang Luo was taken aback. They looked back at the person who spoke, doubting their ears a little.

The man felt Xiang Luo's gaze, and smiled awkwardly but politely: "What's the matter?"

Xiang Luo tidied up his expression and said with a smile, "It's okay, I just heard mushrooms all of a sudden. Who sells them? Dried mushrooms?"

The man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xiang Luo heard him gossiping earlier.Maybe it was gossip and a guilty conscience, so Xiang Luo said everything when he asked:

"Fresh! It's grown by their own family. It's Zhou Lao Er's house, the village head's brother's house! Did you make a fuss about growing mushrooms not long ago? They didn't grow them because of the trouble afterwards. Now they can't grow any crops." But they found that mushrooms can be grown! They used all the mushroom bags they bought before. It’s just that his family doesn’t sell mushroom bags, but mushrooms. And it’s six catties of rice for one catty of mushrooms, and they can only exchange one catty for one catty. I have children in my family, so I can’t just eat without vegetables every day. I’m really reluctant to buy this.”

Adults can handle anything.But children can't.

And because the family planning is implemented too thoroughly, most of the village are only children.Previously, a number of children had been lost due to the zombie problem, and many couples lost their only children.Every remaining child is a baby bump.

Xiang Luo said before that the reason why the village head indulged the local ruffians and made Xiang Luo's mushroom farming fail was because his younger brother Zhou Zhenxing also wanted to raise mushrooms, but Zhu Yan didn't take him to play.

It's just that later, when there was something about mold and zombies, Xiang Luo thought that Zhou Zhenxing's work hadn't been done, but he didn't expect that he was really prepared, and he made it out by himself first.

If the other party really becomes the source of mushrooms in the village first, then Xiang Luo will face many problems in his future development.Because after the interests of others are involved, there will be many problems out of control.More importantly, this Zhou Zhenxing is still the younger brother of the village chief.

"The fungus bag at home...is he made by himself?" Xiang Luo thought about it, and only asked this question.

The man shook his head: "I don't know. He didn't say anything when someone inquired about it. He just said that the place at home is small and there are not many mushrooms grown. Don't think it's expensive, but this is what I want to grab. Go back and discuss it with my wife. A catty is not a lot, but if it is marinated, it can be eaten for a long time."

Those few people were still discussing the issue of mushrooms.Then put on clothes together and go out to patrol.

When Xiang Luo finished his morning shift and went home, he sat on the sofa thinking about this question all the time, not even realizing that Zhu Yan was sitting beside him.

"What beautiful things are you thinking about?" Zhu Yan took a bite of the apple and saw that Xiang Luo had thoughts.

"Do you remember the younger brother of the village chief?"

How smart is Zhu Yan?He sneered and said, "Why, did he grow mushrooms?"

"It has been planted, but it depends on the mushroom bag. Looking at it now, I probably can't make it by myself, and can only rely on the fungus bag that I have previously hoarded." If I can make it myself, it is absolutely impossible to be vague when others ask.And for things like growing mushrooms, as long as you want to grow them and are willing to light a fire indoors, the yield is not a problem at all.

Limited supply, refused to talk about the problem of raw materials.Then it can only be said that the mushrooms of his family cannot be sold for a long time, and they can only rely on similar hunger marketing to create the illusion that the supply is in short supply, and then sell the mushrooms at the highest price to make as much money as possible.

"It seems that he is quite good at doing business." Zhu Yan sneered, "Then what are you worried about?"

This kind of situation is destined to not sell in the long run. If the operation is too aggressive, it may be backlashed.Then there is no need to confront them head-on, and just watch him grow wildly.

Xiang Luo can figure it out, Zhu Yan can figure it out even more.

"Just in case. And if we grow mushrooms, why would they want to come over and share a share?"

It's fine if Zhou Zhenhua doesn't participate, but even if he doesn't, Zhou Zhenxing is so old, and their Zhou family has a lot of connections in the village.Xiang Luo doesn't interact with other people in the village all the year round, and if the other party develops first, there is little chance of winning on his own side, no matter how good the conditions are.

"He just depends on his own operation." Zhu Yan handed the apple to Xiang Luo, and Xiang Luo was about to take a bite, but Zhu Yan took the apple away, took a bite himself, and said, "According to my knowledge You know, he has two unmarried sons in his family."

Xiang Luo really didn't know where Zhu Yan came from the intelligence network, he, a decent villager, didn't pay much attention.

"Do you think he will use this to find a daughter-in-law for himself?" Xiang Luo asked.

"Why not? It's so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law now, and mushrooms can't be sold for a long time. If I'm sure to maximize all the benefits at this time, I'll talk about the future later. As long as the daughter-in-law goes to marry into the house, and the grain is put into the granary, who will pay for it?" Just worry about the flood in the back." Zhu Yan smiled sarcastically, then raised his eyebrows and asked what Xiang Luo meant.

Xiang Luo also thought about the same reason: "But this kind of thinking is based on the condition that his family can only supply mushrooms for a short time. In case there are a lot of mushroom bags at home, or the problem of raw materials is solved, he can make a steady stream of mushrooms. What about the constant bacteria packs?"

"Then you can ask for blessings." Zhu Yan just smiled and didn't speak.

The so-called rainy day is to think out all the situations in advance and come up with a solution that can be solved.It is also impossible for Xiang Luo to rely on Zhu Yan's brain to think about everything, and he can solve it by himself.

But the fact that Zhou Zhenxing's family was able to make mushrooms still dealt a big blow to Xiang Luo.

At the same time, Xiang Luo also became more determined to master the formula and production technology of the mushroom pack as soon as possible. No matter when, being able to fully master a certain key technology is also a key to success.

Still the same sentence, as long as they can ensure that the yield of the mushroom packs they make is high, the breeding is convenient, and the shipment volume is large, then the villagers, as consumers, will choose better ones.

As for possible conflicts and business wars, that will be a matter of future.

All fantasies are based on the level of being able to stand in the future, and most of them are just talk on paper.

The weather is getting colder every day, and the frequency of patrols is getting lower and lower.In addition, nothing dangerous happened in the village anymore, and the patrolling people became more and more relaxed and did not take it seriously.

Because the environment is getting worse, fewer people are willing to come and patrol.Xiang Luo insisted on coming every day, firstly, to gain a sense of presence, and secondly, to listen to the trend of public opinion in the village at any time.

After another week, people from Xiang Luo's team came and went several times. Some patrolled for a few days and rested for a few days, and some couldn't bear the crime.Xiang Luo had frostbite on his hands, but he persisted.

At this time, there was an extra woman in the team, and this woman was on the same street as Xiang Luo, who happened to be the woman who was so frightened that the old couple of the Zhao family were found, who kindly went to deliver porridge to them.

It should have just recovered.The person is thin and has no complexion.But the facial features are not bad, mixed in a bunch of men, it should be the object of everyone's care.

Don't look at the same street, Xiang Luo doesn't know her at all, he only knows that she was married from a neighboring village two years ago.She rarely goes out, and Xiang Luo's impression of her is only familiar.

Because he was unfamiliar, Xiang Luo didn't come to him, but he would come over to say a few words if he had nothing to do.They chat over there when they are free, and Xiang Luo will listen to what they say when he is bored.

It was only a few days later that I learned from their few words that the girl's surname was Lu and her husband's surname was Liu. They had turned into a zombie and died earlier.She lives with her mother-in-law now.The mother-in-law believes in Buddhism and is a good person. The two support each other. Although life is not easy, they can survive.

It can be seen from her family's kindness to send big porridge to the elderly in the neighbors that they are all kind people.

It's just that there are all kinds of life, and the poor people in this world are more than just their family.

Xiang Luo seldom talked with them, mainly because he didn't like crowds, and others got used to it.

Somehow today's topic started to lead to the dead Lao Zhao and his wife.

Zhao's daughter-in-law insisted that without the gold ring, anyone who entered his home that day would be a suspect.Hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family said, he was relatively more suspicious of Xiang Luo.

Everyone has a point in their minds about this matter, at most they will not tell Xiang Luo and Xiao Lu, and somehow they brought it up today.

Xiao Lu's voice was a little higher, and he said: "I don't think who took it. I live next to the old lady's house. The old couple have no food at home, and they eat moldy food. My mother-in-law always tells me about it." They are pitiful, they asked me to send some food over every now and then. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to see it all at once... It’s understandable to say that the young Zhao and his wife didn’t know about it for a day or two, but the old couple didn’t have anything to eat for a month or two. , I haven’t seen them come here once. Now when people are dead they look for rings, what about when people are alive? I think they don’t know if they still have rings, they just want to find an excuse.”

No one understands this better than Xiao Lu, the neighbor and the first person who discovered it.Although she was also one of the suspects, others believed her even more when she said it.

Hearing this, Xiang Luo couldn't help but take another look at her, but it happened that Xiao Lu was also looking at Xiang Luo.

The two looked at each other, and Xiang Luo looked away.

As a result, Xiao Lu walked over by himself.

"Brother Xiang, they didn't look for you later." Xiao Lu asked.

Xiang Luo didn't really want to mention this matter, so he said: "I asked someone to ask, and I said no so I didn't say anything."

"They shouldn't have asked you. At that time, there were so many people standing outside, and they all came out when they saw you go in. The old man hid things so deeply that they couldn't find them through rummaging through the boxes. Something. It doesn't make sense."

Xiang Luo only responded and said nothing.

Only then did Xiao Lu notice that Xiang Luo had frostbite on his hand holding the water cup, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with your hand?"

Xiang Luo touched the chilblain and said, "It's so cold, it will be better in two days."

In fact, this was the first time Xiang Luo had this. There was no chilblain ointment at home, let alone a doctor, so he could only endure it. It wasn't a serious illness anyway, and he could heal on his own.

Xiao Lu said: "I have badger seed oil at home. I'll bring you some tomorrow. Badger seed oil is good for treating chilblains, and it was given to me by my natal relatives a few years ago."
