In fact, there is no way it can be redeemed in full. It is simply not enough.
“Damn it! 100 survival gold for a carrot? It’s a money grab!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, this carrot is big! A whole family can eat it for several days!”
“Chinese cabbage is more expensive, costing 120! But this cabbage is so juicy! It’s worth it!”
“I’ll go and work hard for half a month, and I’ll save 50 living allowances.”
“Brother, can I fight you for a carrot? I only have 50.”
…”
Everyone seems to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and found allies with each other.
The white radish that was bigger and thicker than a stick, the Chinese cabbage that needed both hands to hold, made everyone excited to see it.
Very good! Finally some vegetables to eat! Missed so much!
Although the exchange rate is not generally high, it is such a big piece that you can carry it home for many days, so it is considered a New Year’s purchase! There are no cheap New Year products!
However, there are also some residents who cannot afford enough subsistence money and think these vegetables are too expensive.
A middle-aged man took the lead in making noise: "Dongfang Yuyuan donated it to the community for free, but the community used it as ordinary supplies in exchange for us, and the price was set so high. It's clear that we won't be allowed to live with it!"
"What you said is too much. Do you think the community is willing to embarrass us? But supplies are limited. Even though this cart is a lot of food, there are also many people in our community. If it is cheap, a bowl of water will not be level. What should I do? Someone complained.”
“It’s just that if you don’t have enough living expenses, you can find others to fight for it. If you continue to complain, you won’t be able to get food even if you fight for it.”
…”
"Come on, Lao Guo, stop complaining. I'll share some for you to try." A resident of an old community used a knife to cut a thin piece of radish and gave it to the middle-aged man. "No money, I'll give it to you to try." Taste it. It tastes really good.”
…”
The middle-aged man was so tempted by the juicy radish that he swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but take it and eat it.
“Holy shit! Is this really a carrot?”
Other people who grabbed the food saw his eyes in disbelief, not sure whether it was delicious or not. They also cut a piece of radish and tasted it, and their taste buds were instantly conquered.
“Is this a radish? It’s so delicious!”
“It’s really delicious! I also thought it was because I haven’t eaten fresh vegetables for so long that I forgot the taste of radishes. This radish is really delicious!”
“Chinese cabbage is also delicious. I tried some leaves. They are very crispy and refreshing. They are delicious when eaten raw.”
Everyone kept secreting saliva while talking, and finally could eat a delicious meal of green vegetables.
“I heard that the owners of Oriental Royal Garden were given pumpkins as big as wheels and large sweet potatoes as thick as arms. The porridge is super sweet even without sugar!”
“The owners who live in that community are so happy!”
…”
When Hu Qinglu struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, the hair tie that tied her hair was squeezed out at some point, and her hair was messed up like a crazy woman.
She gasped, pushed up her hair, and spread her hands towards Shao Xiyuan: "I didn't grab it. When it was my turn, I had already finished the redemption. Not to mention the whole radish and cabbage, I didn't even grab a single radish tassel."
Shao Xiyuan didn't grab it either. She lowered her head and looked down at her empty hands with a disappointed look on her face: "What should I do? I also promised Chen Xiyang that when he comes back from the mission, I will treat him to a meal cooked by me. Now We don’t have any ingredients, what can we do with them?”
"He is given something when he goes on a mission, right? When he comes back, you can see what he brings back and then decide what to give him." Hu Qinglu felt a little impatient.
To be honest, if Shao Xiyuan hadn’t given her 5 living allowances and asked her to help buy vegetables, she wouldn’t have come!
With so many people, the hair ties have been squeezed out. Where did they fall?
She searched around but couldn't find it. As a last resort, she took out a khaki rubber band from her coat pocket and tied it into a ponytail.
She had never used this kind of rubber band that hurt her flesh when it bounced, but now she had to keep her hair tied because she didn't have enough money to spend on a beautiful and useful hair tie.
Working as a cleaner in a community, I got used to it after a long time, especially after I went out a few times and it was noisy outside, I actually found that it was better to be in the community. At least three meals and an afternoon snack are provided, and some vegetables will be distributed to them during the Chinese New Year.
It’s a pity that I don’t have survival money, so I can’t buy what I want. Let's trade vegetables for others. She hasn't eaten fresh vegetables for a long time, so she burned them without covering them.
In the end, it’s all the fault of this **** apocalypse! How good it was before the mutation! It's already winter vacation at this time. I'm eating, drinking, and checking my cell phone at home to celebrate the New Year. It's not like now... When the **** will this day end!
Shao Xiyuan was still immersed in the anxiety of not being able to prepare food for her boyfriend. She shook her head sadly: "Even if they divide the supplies, they are all shelf-stable. I think the president of the association has some fresh vegetables." There is no chance to eat it, let alone those who work.”
"That's true." Hu Qinglu looked in the direction of the Oriental Imperial Garden, held her cheek and sighed regretfully, "So the people there are the happiest! It would have been better if you hadn't left. The vegetable growers who went in at the same time as you, We were given a whole radish. If you don’t want radish, you can exchange it for cabbage. We are not so good. We only have a box of cut radish cubes, not even half a catty. We are also working, why should the benefits be different? I’m so angry. Me!"
Shao Xiyuan heard a message from her words: "Lulu, did you give out radish and cabbage?"
“There is no cabbage. All the cabbage was picked up by lots by the administrative department. All we got in the logistics department were radishes.”
“You can also use radish. I, Tokojie, got a frozen lamb rib. Let me make a radish and mutton stew for him to eat!”
!!”
Hu Qinglu couldn't believe her ears. Was this what Shao Xiyuan, who had always been elegant, generous, gentle and considerate, said?
“Xiyuan, that’s my year-end bonus! That’s my share!”
"Aren't we sisters? Please help me." Shao Xiyuan hugged Hu Qinglu's arm in prayer, "I will save more survival money next year. When there is food in the community again, I will redeem two portions, and each of us will have one portion. ! No! I’ll give you both! I’ll give you my share too! Okay, Lulu, you are my best friend!”
…”
Hu Qinglu did not resist the temptation of at least two hundred survival gold, agreed to Shao Xiyuan's plea, endured the pain of cutting flesh, and gave up her box of diced radishes.
Woooooh...her year-end bonus!
Like her, there are many people who have not eaten fresh vegetables.
Some of them left the few vegetables they had to their children, and some resold double the amount of vegetables they received, just to save more survival money and exchange them for other living necessities for their families...
But everyone has a dream in their hearts - hoping to eat enough fresh vegetables next year, preferably as much as they want, just like before the end of the world.
