Before setting off with the chicken cake, Jian Chu also posted a photo in the communication group established by Zhuchong before, and also posted the address of the stall and the selling price, so that those who are willing to buy can bring their own lunch boxes , They have no way to provide outside packaging, whether it is wrapping paper or plastic bags, it seems that the production conditions have not yet resumed, so there is no way to provide this service.

Because there are many mosquitoes outside, and this sweet thing attracts mosquitoes, so Mu Nan specially cut a piece of gauze cloth for Jian Chu, and let him cover it, so that others can see what is being sold, but not Spread out in the air to be polluted by mosquitoes.

Although the death rate of parasitic diseases has been reduced with the gradual release of drugs, it is still difficult to find a single drug and many people have died of the disease, so naturally it is better to be careful, especially this kind of imported food.

The well-drilling workers took advantage of their private work after finishing work every day. When they took over the work, they said that they were divided into two shifts. It happened that the first shift this week ended at two o'clock. Come here, work from 2:30 to 6:00 in the morning, and have to go back before the sun heats up, so when Jianchu went to set up a stall, the well-digging workers hadn't come yet, so there was no need to keep anyone at home, they all went.

The law and order in the small square is actually pretty good now. What happened that day was because of the hatred caused by the stall owner himself. In the police station, there are no special circumstances. Ordinary people don't dare to make trouble.

I heard that when the small square market first came out, some people took advantage of the opportunity to rob. Thinking that there are no cameras now, they will run away if they rob, and the environment is so chaotic. Both the police force and the legal system are not as good as before. When the time comes If you drill into the three-way zone in the outer city, you will definitely not find yourself.

As a result, I didn’t expect that there was a camera installed here. The police didn’t look for it at all. They locked the camera directly and locked the ID card after face recognition. Without the ID card, you can’t do anything in the residential area, and the money in it can’t be used unless you If you have a family, you have been bartering with others or leaving here to become a savage in the wild mountains, otherwise you have to surrender yourself.

Those who think that all kinds of catastrophes are coming, that the end of the world is coming, and that all order systems do not exist, think the whole country is too simple. There was a tribal system in the era of blood and blood, let alone now.

So at present, as long as there is no deep hatred, most people dare not commit crimes. Among other things, they must swipe their ID cards for water. If they commit crimes and flee, they will not even be able to drink water.

But even so, Mu Nan and the others would not let Jian Chu come out alone to set up a stall, no matter what, they would need a few more people, especially if they were selling food like small cakes. People are being tempted to commit crimes all the time, so of course it would be safer to have more people.

There are not many food sellers in the market, but there are still some, like some things that are snapped up in online shopping malls, such as insect meat, and rice noodles. Some people quickly grabbed them and wanted to sell them at a high price. I will move a small table to set up a stall. Those who can’t get it and have no food at home can only buy it at a high price, but apart from these, there are not many novelty things.

When Jian Chu put out the chicken cakes, the market shoppers hadn't been attracted yet, but the stall owner who was closer to him was the first to be attracted, and even said in surprise: "Now you still have the conditions to make bread? You It's a good job."

Jian Chu put out the price tag and said with a smile: "Egg cake, made of real eggs, costs 70 cents each, do you want to buy one and eat?"

Hearing what he said, many people were attracted: "Eggs? Are they made of real eggs?"

Jian Chu: "Look at the color yourself, can it be made without adding eggs?"

Bystander: "Just give some coloring."

Song Jia couldn't help but said: "What are you talking about, where can we get the pigment at this time? We specially went to Qinghe to collect the eggs. Qinghe's farm mainly raises chickens, and there is still a place to harvest the eggs. Pigment I really don’t know where to get it.”

This is true, the person who spoke just now also felt that his brain was too funny, now that there is a way to think about eggs, he can still do it, and the pigment is really scarcer than eggs. Smelling the long-lost sweetness, it is definitely impossible to say that you will not be greedy. No matter whether you like sweets or not in the past, few people can refuse this kind of temptation now.

Someone tried to talk about the price, but Jian Chu’s price was already very cheap. According to the current scarce market, an egg can be sold for at least two or three yuan. His flour and sugar are not easy to get, even though one Eggs can make several chicken cakes, but after conversion, 70 cents each can be regarded as the floor price, at least there is only one in the market.

Most parents with young children are a little bit more willing, even if they buy one, they are willing to give their children a sweet mouth, and those who are single, have no family burden and have a stable job, this kind of condition is good, buy two at a time Three without too much pressure. Those who have a heavy burden to carry their families, even if they are greedy, are not willing to give up the seventy cents. Seventy cents can fetch several buckets of water, and even buy a bag of worm meat to eat for two days, which is nothing compared to this one. Chicken cakes are cost-effective, but after repeated entanglements, I still can't bear it.

There are a lot of people who are reluctant, and there are also many people who are willing. The previous live broadcast, plus the notice in the bamboo insect group, soon many people came straight to the chicken cake. Those who have some conditions can buy it for two yuan. A dime is a dime cheaper.

Seeing more and more people gather, Qin Huai, who was originally in charge of security at the back, also came forward to help, Jian Chu collected money, Song Jia maintained order, and Mu Nan was responsible for filling chicken cakes.

But there are too many voices, noisy, sometimes yelling to pretend to me, sometimes yelling that I don’t want this one, I want another bigger one, and there are still people pushing forward, making Mu Nan so dizzy. It's time to tie the knot.

Qin Huai walked over with a smile on his face, patted Mu Nan's shoulder with one hand to comfort him, "Take your time, don't worry, I'll report the number and you pretend to be, and give it to me when you're done."

Mu Nan hurriedly followed suit, Qin Huai said three and he packed three, said two he packed two, and handed the packed lunch box to Qin Huai, Qin Huai then handed it to the customer, he had a good memory, and he didn't like Mu Nan being quarreled In a hurry, all the chicken cakes purchased were sent out smoothly, and the booth quickly settled down smoothly.

The stall was set up at 12 o'clock, and it was sold out at 1:30. Jian Chu hadn't counted the money yet, but seeing that even the egg pancakes he was trying to make were sold out, he couldn't be happier. He hugged Mu Nan with one hand and Jian Chu with the other. : "Let's settle it when we go back! If this business is profitable, then we will accumulate a certain amount of eggs every once in a while and sell them!"

Mu Nan wiped the sweat from his body: "It's so hot, I'm really not the kind of material for business. If it weren't for my brother, I would be so confused that I can't tell who has how much and who gave the lunch box."

Jian Chu said: "It's okay, it's good to have more experience. When I first started to set up a street stall, I lost a lot of money in a hurry, which is normal."

Song Jia had to remind: "Flour and sugar are not cheap to buy now, and the materials may not be able to support it if you want more times." The main reason is that they may not be able to buy in large quantities now.

Jian Chu said: "I have thought about this too, so these things will not be limited to egg cakes, you can make some eggs with more eggs and less flour, such as egg rolls, didn't there be some glutinous rice before, if you see Where is there a glutinous rice seller, remember to collect some for me, have you eaten glutinous rice sticks?"

Mu Nan shook his head, it was the first time he heard of this stuff, his childhood snack was chocolate jelly beef jerky, he had never eaten what Jian Chu said.

Song Jia just felt that this thing sounded familiar: "What thing? What is it made of?"

Jian Chu said: "It's also a kind of dessert. It seems that there are more in the north. In the past, in the 1970s and 1980s, glutinous rice noodles were the snacks of many children, as well as hair cakes. There are quite a lot of them that can be made. I Go back and think about the production process carefully, first find a notebook and write it down, and try it slowly later.”

Mu Nan said, "You decided to develop this business?"

Jian Chu sighed: "These are the skills that can be illuminated by external conditions at present, try it first, and there is no such condition for long-term development of this matter now, anyway, it is enough to make ends meet now, and you Let me borrow the rooster, and the family's meat supply will be expanded."

Mu Nan: "No problem, when the time comes, let my brother catch one and send it to you. That rooster is very fierce. It was almost nagged several times, and its fighting power is very fierce."

Qin Huai rode a tricycle filled with several barrels of water and followed them slowly, watching Mu Nan help Jian Chu's career with advice, if this was in the past, then the current scene must be three or five friends, busy streets, barbecue beer, The most ordinary, but also the most simple and happy.

Probably feeling something in his heart, Mu Nan turned his head and glanced back, met Qin Huai's eyes looking at him, and instinctively smiled, then turned his head and continued to chat with Jian Chu.

Walking home slowly, Qin Huai put the tricycle in the shed at the other corner of the yard and went back to his home. Mu Nan and Song Jia followed Jian Chu upstairs. Jian Chu sorted out the collection records, because he was worried that he might not be able to sell if he did too much So I only made four ovens, one oven can hold three trays of molds, one mold is six cake cups, and I also made one oven of egg pancakes, which are sold in terms of grams, 50 cents per 100 grams.

Finally, after all the expenses and income were counted in the notebook, Jian Chu said: "Eight eggs were used, 400 grams of flour was used, and 250 grams of sugar was used. The total income was 65.8 yuan."

Mu Nan is not sensitive to numbers by nature. His math grades were abysmal in the past. Qin Huai, who has been the number one in his grade all year round, can't be saved, so these numbers can't form a specific concept in his mind at all, so he can only directly Asked: "How much did you earn?"

Jian Chu saw that although the online was sold out, there was a rush to buy flour every day: "Five yuan a catty of flour, and eggs don't know the market price, but what Zibai and the others found out in Qinghe before was three yuan a piece." , I used eight, and the flour is about 29 yuan, and there is no sugar in the market, so I can’t count it for the time being, so the net profit is 36.8 yuan excluding sugar.”

Song Jia: "Have you used half a catty of sugar? So much? How many times can you make the remaining sugar?"

Jian Chu calculated the amount of sugar reserves at home: "Not counting rock sugar, there are still more than ten catties of sugar."

Mu Nan said: "My family still has a bag of mass merchandisers, twenty catties."

Song Jia: "If you don't find a stable source channel, this matter is not a long-term solution."

But a stable source of sugar is impossible. The main raw material of sugar is sugar cane or sugar beet. It’s not enough to destroy people’s lives, but now the exposed fields can’t be planted at all, and how many indoor fields and indoor farms can there be, and some can only grow food.

Mu Nan said, "I have beet seeds."

Jian Chu smiled when she heard the words: "How much trouble can I grow by myself."

Song Jia: "Let's raise chickens and sell them. This is more reliable. When people's lives get better and there are more raw materials, we can open a dessert shop."

Jian Chu shrugged: "Let's make some of the candy at home first."

Anyway, he had thought about it a long time ago. Those who need sugar are not suitable for long-term development, because the raw materials cannot keep up. In the end, they will definitely rely on selling chickens and eggs to make a living, but he wants to make a fuss now, mainly because of those The sugar is about to expire. Although it was sealed well with a sealed bag during the flood and no water entered, the temperature was too high and the sugar had already melted into lumps.

Moreover, these candies were found from the previous business district, and they have been stored for at least one or two years now. Although the shelf life of sugar is longer than that of ordinary things, it is neither cold nor hot, and at most it is hot and thin. , but the same will deteriorate and expire. There are quite a few left at home, but they don't look very good. After all, they were all melted and put back in the refrigerator, so he wanted to use eggs and other things to make finished products and make a fortune.

Hearing that Mu Nan's house still had so much sugar, Jian Chu asked curiously, "Is the sugar in your house unmelted?"

Mu Nan paused before saying, "I don't know, my brother put it in the refrigerator, I'll go back and have a look later."

Jian Chu said: "The shelf life of rock sugar is a little longer than that of white sugar. If you still have rock sugar at home, you can keep rock sugar. The white sugar we turned over before is about to expire, so much can't be eaten in a day or two. Take it here Well, I’ll make finished products and exchange them for money to buy food.”

Mu Nan let out a sigh. He hadn't thought about the expiry of things for a long time. Although he didn't forget about it, he really didn't think about it all at once. The relationship between Jian Chu was so tossed, and he just wanted to sell the candy that was about to expire. go out.

The two stayed at Jian Chu's house for a while. After Jian Chu settled the accounts, he gave him the money that should be given to Mu Nan. Later, if Mu Nan brought flour and sugar over, he would share the money with Mu Nan later. Nan's fifty-five points, as for labor consumption, it's not counted in it, it's not a big deal, and it's not a long-term job.

As soon as Mu Nan got home, the construction team came. Seeing that Qin Huai was about to go downstairs to supervise the work, he quickly told Qin Huai what he had talked with Jian Chu: "I thought that Jian Chu wanted to develop the dessert shop well. I said that there is a bag of 20 catties of sugar at home, but I forgot that the sugar will melt, should I put the sugar outside now, and put it in the refrigerator after it melts?"

Qin Huai: "You can use the vacuum machine to directly pack 20 catties of sugar in a vacuum bag, and put it on the balcony on the third floor overnight. It happens that Xu Ming is going to work today, and no one will see the balcony on the third floor."

Mu Nan said, "I almost revealed my secrets."

Qin Huai smiled and said: "What kind of revealing is this, it should be said that it is fortunate that Jian Chu mentioned it, otherwise we found so many things at that time, such as white sugar, we didn't think about the details of expiration, and now we can deal with it Lose."

Mu Nan nodded, and Qin Huai pushed him into the room: "Go take a shower, stay in the room and draw, if I get hot or thirsty, I will come up to get a drink by myself, don't send it down for me."

Mu Nan raised his paw and waved at him: "Then you go, I'm going to get candy."

When the south is upset about water restrictions and anxious about the lack of food, a convoy is coming from the far north, with military vehicles driving the way in front, trucks full of supplies behind, and a car behind. A refitted military card, but what was loaded in the compartment behind the military card was not cargo, but people with desperate expressions and bloodstains on their lips.

Among these people, those with better conditions still have burdens on their bodies, but most of them are covered with tattered clothes, or even a pair of shorts that cover their bodies slightly, dirty hair, and foul-smelling body odor. With black nails and chapped skin, they were even more refugees than those in the outer city of Kang Yun.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, the team that opened the road ahead managed to find some half-collapsed abandoned buildings, so they stopped the vehicles in a smooth manner, and the people in the vehicles got off in an orderly manner, following the responsibility of each vehicle very skillfully. People find a place where they can hide from the violent sun and settle down temporarily.

The masses can rest temporarily, but many soldiers cannot rest immediately. They need to set up tables and chairs to distribute supplies. The supplies are half a cake of cornmeal mixed with mud for each person, and a mouthful of water that can only maintain life.

In the beginning, it was not that no one had no complaints. Not everyone could understand the current environment. Even if some people knew it in their hearts, they would still vent the despair brought about by the environment on others, to the soldiers, to the government, but now Unlike before, no one is willing to bear more negative emotions from others, so after repeated thunderous rectifications, most of the ones that can be left now are willing to obey and work hard to survive.

Therefore, even if it is only half a pancake and a sip of water every day, as long as they think of going to the south, the hellish days will end, and everyone will struggle to survive with all their breath.

Everyone lined up to receive the food in an orderly manner. From the beginning, it was difficult to swallow, to as long as it could be stuffed into the mouth, there was nothing that could not be eaten, and the saliva. Some families had several people, like some brothers and relatives. They are all there, so you can take a little sip to quench your thirst like a dry desert, and store the rest carefully, and take it out to sip a little when you are really thirsty on the road.

If you are a widow or only dependent on the old and the weak, you must quickly stuff your food or drink into your mouth, because it may not be yours when it is too late. Although there are soldiers to maintain order, this order may not necessarily be maintained on everyone's head.

Here, a pair of grandpa and grandson had just received their food, and stuffed it into their mouths in a hurry, for fear of being snatched away one step too late. On the other side, there was a chaotic commotion. Two tall and strong brothers filled a person with food. The blond-haired man hit the ground and directly robbed the other party of food and water.

And none of the people next to him stepped forward to dissuade them, at most they just looked at the robbed food and envied them.

As for the person who was beaten on the ground, it probably wasn't the first time, and he didn't dare to scold him. He huddled on the ground for a long time before slowly getting up, and then sat hunched on the side of the road for a while, because he had no clothes, so that The bones all over his body were undoubtedly exposed, and his hands couldn't help but wrap around his belly, which was so hungry that it was sunken. His face was pale, and maybe one day, he would starve to death.

The pair of brothers divided the food and water they had snatched in half, but instead of eating it themselves, they took it back to their parents and younger sister, and scolded: "If you have the ability to go back to your own country, why should you fight with our country?" people rob food."

Some people behind saw this situation, and some couldn't help frowning, and complained in a low voice: "In the face of crisis, what's the difference of nationality?"

Hearing this, even though the people on the side were hungry and didn't have much strength, they still rolled their eyes and retorted: "You are such a saint, give your food to others."

The person who spoke was just about to say something, but when he saw the impatient faces of the people queuing up to claim their things, he suddenly stopped talking. It is okay to pity others, but it is absolutely impossible to pity others with your own things.

A situation like this is not an exception. They reject foreigners here because of the lack of supplies. At the moment, some Chinese people in foreign countries are also receiving the same treatment, but the situation is different. Their tenacity and perseverance in the face of adversity, and those foundations and beliefs that have lasted for thousands of years, united them outside and insisted on the road home together.

It is also at this time that some people are advancing in adversity. They hold a precious list in their hands, and they are searching for rescue in a land where there is no peace due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. They want to rescue those treasures who are overseas. Come back, that is the future of their country.

The whole world is busy fighting, fighting, overthrowing and rebuilding the land torn apart after the huge earthquake. Only Huaxia is busy absorbing and transferring talents. On the land of the motherland.

Those prophecies that were once treated as jokes may be gradually being realized. The most terrifying thing in this world is not the powerful weapons in peacetime, but when the catastrophe of annihilation comes, who can truly be selected by nature.
