food crisis [end times]

Xiang Luo saw that they all cheered up and raised their ears to listen, so he sorted out his words and said:

"The first is the salary. You should have heard that I was paid on a piece basis. But in the future, it will be changed to an assembly line work, and the piecework is unrealistic. I refer to the salary when you went to the official aseptic cultivation before, and I will give it to you. The same salary, two catties of food per day, or something of the same price. You are required to go through the disinfection and wear protective clothing every day when you enter and exit the assembly line. The salary will increase by half a catty every six months, or other equivalent things, Five catties cap."

Xiang Luo felt that the time to pay with food would not last long.The main reason for not using coins before is that as people died in large numbers, food became extremely precious, and the value of paper money to buy things changed every day. Over time, people did not trust money.

The consequence of continued inflation is naturally that people abandon banknotes to barter, or use relatively precious resources as temporary currency.Precious metals such as gold and silver are useful.Food has also become a precious resource due to the large-scale spread of super mold.

But now the population has basically stabilized.If there is no accident, there will be no possibility of a large number of deaths.Against this background, the currency issue will definitely be resolved in a timely manner.

Xiang Luo said again: "Then it's work. You work ten hours a day, and you shouldn't have overtime. But you don't have paid leave. If there are special circumstances, you can ask your foreman for leave, and the salary of the day will be deducted. But you can ask for one month leave If the time exceeds five days, one and a half days' salary will be deducted if you ask for leave. Of course, if there are special circumstances such as weddings and funerals or other force majeure issues, they don't need to be counted here."

Those few people looked at each other, some were quite satisfied with this, and some were hesitant.

After all, the current income of growing mushrooms is not low. Judging from the current mushroom prices, the money earned by raising a few more mushroom bags by myself is definitely higher than the conditions given by Xiang Luo here.

If the treatment is limited to this, then without considering the future, there is no temptation at all given by Xiang Luo.

Xiang Luo had a panoramic view of their performance, and said the first benefit: "During work, you can eat meat once a week on Wednesday and Friday. Currently, what you eat should be canned meat. After the ducks are raised, it will You can eat duck meat and duck eggs. But by then, you won’t be able to eat meat just twice a week.”

Although there are no hungry people in the village now, there are many people who are hungry.Although if you want to eat, you can get it from the official, but how can the villagers who have experienced the predicament of almost running out of ammunition and food last winter be willing to do so?There is food and it is tightly held.

Now everyone understands that there is no food growing in the ground.Every bite of food in the mouth is one bite less.There is no shortage of food now, what about in the future?

What if there is still no food to grow in the land after waiting for three to five years?

A bite of meat is precious.Food that may support life is even more precious.

But my family is reluctant to eat it. If the work unit is willing to give it, it will be completely different.

Two meals of meat a week!This level can be completely equal to the past.

Xiang Luo Xiang Luo threw out the second benefit: "If the full attendance of a month is not bad for one day, there will be ten fungus bags for full attendance. In the future, I will sell more things, and I can exchange them for other equivalents. The original price is still the same for mushroom packs, but you can enjoy double the limited quota for outsiders. When duck eggs and other products are launched in the future, you can also be the first to buy them. These are the ones I can take out now, and they are also the treatment I can think of. "

After Xiang Luo finished speaking, he looked at the expectations in their eyes with satisfaction, and said, "Actually, as long as I do a better job in this business, I will definitely treat you better. It's just that I don't want to be called a master of painting by you." Cake, that’s all for now. As for other precautions and rules, I will write them out and post them in your work area. If you have nothing to do, just look at them yourself. It’s not too harsh anyway. Those who decide to join the job now can register with me. You can go to training early in the morning."

These are all the results of discussions between Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan.

In fact, Xiang Luo thought of better treatment at first, because better treatment can win people's hearts more.And in all fairness, Xiang Luo has worked for others, suffered grievances, and suffered crimes.

He also wants to be a fairy boss and make his employees the envy of everyone.

But Zhu Yan's words woke him up in time.

"You're the boss, you're in business. You're the one paying to buy their time to work for you. It's the same as when you go to a store and buy stuff. You can give better deals, but not unlimited Give up your own interests to help others. This is not good intentions, but simple people with a lot of money. It’s like when you go shopping, you want to buy higher quality products than others, and you can pay a higher price. But You can't simply hope that the product will think you are a good person, so you can buy it at a price several times higher than the market price."

This is when the ass decides the head.When you are an employee, you can't wait for the boss to give you the company and all assets directly.But if you think this way when you are the boss, you are out of your mind.

In fact, Xiang Luo is not a fool.The reason why they think this way is actually somewhat of a desire to help them as a fellow villager.

But if you open the door to do business, you can't always think about being prostituted for nothing.

Therefore, the current treatment is something that both of them are satisfied with.

In fact, among other things, just providing two meals and eating two meals of meat a week is enough to attract people, even if there is no salary, people can be recruited.

After all, people in the village now eat as little as they can eat their own food.The saved food is packed and put into jars and buried in the yard of their own house. When they run out of ammunition and food in the future, digging food from their own fields is better than begging grandpa and grandma everywhere and waiting for others to give them money.

Not surprisingly, these eight people have all registered with Xiang Luo without exception.Xiang Luo also made it clear that after they passed the probationary period, they would need to sign a contract.Contracts start from one year.It is also a guarantee for both parties.

After registering them, they will go back separately first.

A little later, Xiang Yan came over to make a final decision.

Xiang Yan and Zhou Tingting will each lead four people to work in the future. As the foreman, Xiang Luo will pay them five catties of grain per day. In the future, as more and more people are recruited, they will manage more people. Wages will naturally go up as well.

In fact, the current earning is less than what the mother and daughter earned when they made mushroom packs by themselves.It's just that if they counted pieces before, they worked so hard to make only those fungus bags, and it was impossible to make more.But there is more to come in the future as a foreman of a small team.

"The treatment we give here is quite good. It's just that if we cook, I'm afraid we have to hire someone to cook. Who can we hire? Whoever comes will steal the food. Unless we cook by ourselves." It was a question that Xiang Yan thought of after listening to Xiang Luo's treatment in advance and thinking about it for two days at home.

This is no small matter.Any canteen will face the problem of stealing or even stealing.It’s okay if it’s just ordinary biscuits, but what about dried vegetables and meat?When I met someone who even took something to eat, I took it away and didn't give it to the employees. The employees might think that it was Xiang Luo who was reluctant to give it to them.

In the past, there was no way to prevent things in the peaceful and prosperous times, and I'm afraid it will be even worse in the present.

Xiang Luo thought about it seriously, but it was rare for him to tremble once.

"In this way, the second aunt is troubled during the training, so you cook first. After the training, after signing the contract, find someone from the employee's family to help cook, and give him the same salary as other employees. But there is one thing. Once other people complain about the lack of food, the person who cooks them, and his family will all be in violation of the contract and go home."

This undoubtedly binds everyone's interests together. The cooks dare not steal it for themselves and their families at work, and in order not to ask others to report it, let alone make their food worse.

And even so, he still ate it secretly, so that others would eat less meat.They will only transfer their anger to the family who cooks.This has nothing to do with Xiang Luo.

In the past, Xiang Luo might not have come up with such a bad idea.It can only be said that after being with Zhu Yan for a long time, this thinking has become more detached.

It works.

Xiang Yan's eyes lit up, she nodded to confirm, then confirmed some details, and then went back full of eagerness.

On the second day, the training of newcomers began.

Both Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan went to the scene to help a little, especially the formula ratio and packaging details.

It is reasonable to say that the assembly line work will be more detailed than the previous individual work. Each person only needs to do what is in front of him, and leave the rest alone.

In this way, in fact, it also prevents them from stealing teachers and learning skills in a disguised form.

It's just that only Xiang Luo understands that the main reason for the high quality of their mushroom packs is actually the raw materials, not the production method.

During the training period, the fungus packs will be distributed equally to them, but there is no reason to produce one car by one car.Just let them learn to feel first with as little material as possible.There are not many bacteria bags made, mainly based on experience.

It is not too difficult to make mushroom packs, they mastered it very quickly.

In fact, it can be put into production in less than seven days.During this period, let them be proficient in the hand first.

After seven days, the production line officially opened.A large number of raw materials are sent to the small assembly line factory rented by the village committee, and the mushroom bags are made in batches.

Although all the fungus bags they made before were taken home, after they planted them, they also revealed the quality of these fungus bags from their words, and the contamination rate remained below 30.00%.

Such a result is already higher than the official waste range for purchasing bacteria packs.

This end is put into production, and the other end officials have also received news that they will come over every Monday to take away the fungus packs and settle the price on the spot.

The purchase of mushroom packs in the village is still limited, but it has been expanded to ten packs per person per day.

In fact, even if there is no limit, people in the village will not buy a lot at once.

Because the drought is getting worse as time goes by.

On the day when the official truck came down for the second time to collect the fungus bags produced by Xiangluo's small factory, the water from the last deep well in the village was already muddy and mixed with half of the mud.

I can't drink anymore.

Because there is no water, it means that some people have used up the mushroom packs in their hands and stopped buying them. The main sales volume of Xiangluo mushroom packs is also sold to the government.

The punched mud can also be boiled for drinking after repeated precipitation.It is definitely not enough to raise mushrooms.

Although the villagers have prepared quite a lot of water in advance, some households with many water tanks have even prepared several large tanks of water.

But the mud still dealt a heavy blow to the villagers.

There is a lot of water in the pond in the backyard of Xiang Luo's house, which can support the factory for a period of time.

But this is not a long-term solution.

God is like this, the water will not drop, sooner or later the well water will not even be able to pump mud, and the water that people store will be used up one day.

Without food, a person can live for seven days if he is in good condition.But if you lose the water, you will die in three days!

Everything in the world is inseparable from water, otherwise there would be no saying that water is the source of all things.

The village committee has held several meetings in a row.Also contacted the above official.The official said that it will help solve it, but the specific plan will not be announced until it is confirmed that it is feasible.

It won't be long, but until then, people have to hold on to themselves.

The lack of water allowed the villagers to eat dry rice extravagantly again.Some people even think that cooking dry rice will make a lot of water evaporate, so they put the rice in the pot and fry it directly, and the time to boil the water is getting shorter and shorter. Steam hurts.

There is a shortage of water here, so naturally there are places where there is no shortage of water.

Xiang Luo saw that the water in the pool in the backyard was half used up.

Although there is still a lot of water in the house, if there is no water at all, if the factory is closed and the existing water in the house is only drunk, it will be no problem for a year.Even if you maintain the current daily washing and hygienic use, it will be no problem to use it for two or three months.

It's just that there is no water and it is undoubtedly contained in the throat, making it difficult to breathe.

This is a drought like never before.

I've been out a lot lately, and my body got tanned again.Even so, bare skin can get sore after just a few minutes in the sun.

But if you wear too many clothes, it will be hot and uncomfortable.

Many people in the village have already suffered from heat stroke, but there has been no death due to heat stroke yet.

Without clinics, people had to fight it out on their own if they didn't stockpile medicines in their own homes.

Xiang Luo touched his scorched arm and raised his leg to go back to the house, when he heard a knock on the door outside.

Xiang Luo went directly from the back yard to the front yard and opened the door. When he opened the door, he saw Li Baoguo.

"Little Luo! Have you heard? A group of water sellers came from the entrance of the village. They are from Jiupaozi Village in the south. There is a lot of water there, so they fetched water and sold it from village to village. They came to our village. I also heard that they came to buy The guy at the mushroom bag said it. Do you want to go with me? Doesn’t your place use a lot of water? Maybe you can negotiate a price with them and ask them to bring you water every day.”

As soon as Li Baoguo heard about this, he handed over the store to his daughter, and he wanted to go and have a look anyway.

Although there is no shortage of water in Li Baoguo.Hearing Xiang Luo's suggestion before, he also dug a small pool in the yard, poured several layers of plastic sheeting in it, filled it with water, covered it with another layer of plastic sheeting, and buried the plastic sheeting with soil.Just lift up a corner to fetch water when you need it.At least a few months at least.

It's rare to go over to have a look, and he feels that Xiang Luo must need such a water source at this time.

Xiang Luo thinks about it, it's okay to join in the fun.He only went into the house and put on a sun protection suit and an umbrella, said hello to Zhu Yan and went out.

At present, people will open umbrellas when they go out.At the beginning, some men still thought that it was a sunny day, and they were going to laugh at those who held umbrellas.But after several consecutive heat strokes, no one mentioned it anymore. He obediently put up his umbrella and strictly controlled the time to go out.

The temperature outside is above forty degrees.Even when the heat gathered the most in the afternoon, it even reached the terrifying number of fifty.

However, because the air is dry, the temperature in the shade and the sun are completely different. At night, after the sun sets, the temperature will drop sharply to a comfortable temperature of more than 20.

If it weren't for the fact that rats would be more dangerous at night, the villagers even wanted to live their lives upside down in black and white to be more comfortable.

If Xiang Luo didn't have too many things to do, he would have taken Zhu Yan and An Wei to hide in the basement. God knows how cool the basement is in summer, and Xiang Luo didn't want to come up every time he went down.

When Xiang Luo and Li Baoguo arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw that many people had gathered here.Some people have already taken empty drink bottles here.

The entrance of the village is blocked by two big logs, people inside can't go out, and people outside can't come in.Since the wall was built to surround the village, there is only one exit left, the main entrance, which is usually blocked and cannot be entered or exited.

As he approached, he heard noises outside.

Under the scorching sun, a gust of wind can whip up a burst of sand and whizzing past.The desert-like land in the distance became blurred by the scorching sun.Inevitably, the crowd was filled with an unpleasant smell of sweat, and under the unbearable heat, people's hearts became impetuous.

The group of water sellers outside are really watching people order dishes. Other villages use grain to exchange water, but in Shili Village, they only need mushroom bags.They are not short of water, but mushroom packs are really rare for them.

It was precisely because of this that someone went to Li Baoguo to buy fungus packs, which made Li Baoguo know that La Xiangluo was here.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with them, and it is understandable, but they really opened their mouths, saying that a catty of mushroom bags can only be exchanged for a catty of water, and they do not negotiate the price.

Some people have already brought the bacteria packs, and they will buy water after negotiating a suitable price, but the other party insists on the price, and also says that they only want the best quality bacteria packs, and they look down on the poor ones.

With such an arrogant attitude, it seems that they are sure that they will have to rely on the bacteria bag to continue their lives.
