Chapter 1244: Selling the First

After cleaning up a pile of skeletons, Li Cang, who was thinking about the mill, felt a little irritated. He simply put down the things in his hands and went to the ancient Colosseum. He also went to the union hall of the private armed team, trying to find inspiration for the next move of the mill in those various skills and zombies.

Bad news: nothing

Good news: no acquaintances

Li Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the social phobia, at least he himself thought it was very doubtful. He just didn't like dealing with people. How could he become a social phobia in their mouths? These are obviously two different things.

After a while, I don't know whether the storage grid time limit has expired or the big magic wand can't stand the bad atmosphere of the same source link. It suddenly jumped out and floated around Li Cang like a cat's tail with its own ideas.

Many people know Li Cang, but thanks to his professional evaluation that anyone who passes by will be skinned, no one is so blind as to rush over to make friends and show off their presence. They are either afraid that the person will die and have no money to spend, or they are afraid that the person is still alive and has no money.

In short, whether it is a possible robbery or murder, even if Teacher Cang is not as well-known as a child who stops crying, it is almost the same.

Compared to the natives of the base who are used to the comfort and safety outside, a large part of the civilians and even subordinates have surprisingly similar views on Teacher Cang, Li Lasi, Lao Wang, and even Rao Qifang -

It is our blessing to have you. We feel very safe and very happy, but please don't appear in our field of vision.

Yes, it is really difficult to have the courage to face such a guy.

From the flow of people on the street and the shape of people, the arrival of these island chains of settlements has obviously supplemented the human diversity and population density of the base. The fireworks of the world gather together for warmth, and all kinds of surprised or curious eyes look at Li Cang, coming and going in a hurry, looking for the direction of life here.

With fast steps, Li Cang unconsciously turned to the vicinity of the seafood market.

The Black Uncle Seafood Market, which occupies a large area, was originally surrounded by farmland, fruit forests, vegetable gardens, etc. After many communications, rectifications, and planning, it has finally become much more standardized. Cases such as bidding and selling heads, stealing, and fighting to death due to stalls and competition have rarely occurred. Even the hygiene has been greatly improved. As a result, when Li Cang passed by this time, he saw that the road outside the market was full of stalls in a mess. There were noisy and black people and flies. All kinds of dead fish and shrimp scraps were thrown along the road. Several groups of people were quarreling and fighting there. There were black uncles, blonds, and blue-eyed people, and yellow-skinned Southeast Asian faces.

Li Cang took a few glances and felt that these people were probably those new forces who came out to do business recently, and they could not enter the market because they did not get permission.

But since we are here, it would be nice to buy some seafood to take back. Li Cang turned around and walked towards the market. When those people saw Li Cang turning around, they immediately rushed towards him like flies: "Sir, fresh eels, fat and big live eels!"

"Freshly slaughtered antelope beef, it can still jump!"

"Alonso Camp's specialty tropical fruits, hundreds of fresh fruits for you to pick!"

"Boss, the best homemade Fannie wine in the entire base, guaranteed to be made by the cleanest virgins, you can also try it, try it first and buy it, it's free if it's not mellow!"

Li Cang: "."

Try it first and buy it? You dare to start such a dangerous high-end project with your small stall?

Li Cang strolled to the market gate, but didn't find the black brother. He didn't know whether he was face-blind or he was really not there. He didn't care and walked straight inside. Just after he took two steps in, a black-skinned lady rushed up with a roar: "Boss! Do you want crabs? The biggest and best crabs in the whole market today!"

Dancing with joy and enthusiasm, the enthusiasm that came over him almost knocked Li Cang over. Li Cang, who had never been so embarrassed when facing zombies, took three steps back before he felt a little safer: "Crab?"

The language system of Uncle Black's floating land was so complex that it was impossible to control it with just a lousy translator that could speak ten languages. The lady's white teeth smiled blindingly, and she gestured and talked to him and pulled him away. It took Li Cang a long time to figure out that she wanted to sell blue crabs, blue crabs with serrated edges.

"I don't--"

"Oh, elegant subordinate, I guess you must be a noble wizard, but your wand is really special, like an elf, it can fly around by itself, its mischief must be a headache for you, right?" The aunt suddenly switched to French that the translator could accept: "I will never recommend something of poor quality to someone like you. It is definitely the best crab on the market today. Chinese people love crab paste, don't they?"

"Buy it!!"

"It's here, look. Wait, what did you say just now?"

When Li Cang came out of the market, the big wand was already carrying a huge basket, and many eight-clawed shadows were crawling around in it. The sound of shrimps hitting the basket was extremely loud, and there was also a fish tail inserted upside down twitching from time to time.

Inside and outside the market, it seemed like a different world.

"emmmm"

Bewildered, Li Cang looked up at the sky and suddenly realized that he was likely to be slaughtered.

After returning to the villa, he wanted to sneak in quietly, but Rao Qifang, Kong Jingqiao and others who claimed to be going shopping came back earlier than him. They all sat on the sofa and looked at him in shock: "Son, you ran out for five or six hours, didn't you go to the vegetable market?!"

"Five or six hours? That long?"

"Yeah, it's getting dark!"

"Well"

"This kid, Xiao Cang, even though he is not so good-looking, his temperament makes people proud of him." Kong Jingqiao happily pulled at the things Li Cang brought back. The more she pulled at him, the more solemn her face became: "Cang, tell Aunt Kong that you Is there an acquaintance who sells goods at a stall in the market and you are embarrassed to openly pity him? "

"ah?"

"Tell me, how much did it cost?"

"I don't know." Li Cang touched his pocket. He did remember to bring his wallet with him when he went out, but inside the bag was a whole stack of large-denomination base work score cards that Rao Qifang had casually stuffed into it. Seeing the change, I had no idea how much it cost, "Uh, by the way, it seems like two hundred and seventy blue crabs?"

"Rebellion! Rebel against them!" When the kitchen tyrant returned, Kong Jingqiao was furious: "No pig-killing knife would dare to stab it so hard! Are these people? They want to rebel or something! Xiao Cang, are you there? Where did you buy it? Take me to them! I am very... very..."

Kong Jingqiao went back to the kitchen and walked around. There were two more kitchen knives on her waist and a rolling pin in her hand.

Everyone: "."

It took Niu Jin to calm down Chef Kong, and everyone was taught a lesson by Li Cang. After repeated orders to not allow anyone to smuggle kitchen raw materials and repeat the same mistake, a group of regular humans who were already as well-behaved as chickens but had no common sense faced the basket. The twelve green crabs crawling around and waving their claws in protest started an unreliable and humble discussion:

“How much did a crab that big cost before the disaster?”

"You don't eat blue crabs much in Yanchuan, so why don't you sell them for a hundred and eighty yuan?"

"I have eaten a coconut crab that was about the same size as this. It seemed to cost two to three thousand?"

"That two hundred and seventy points is definitely expensive for one, and it's expensive for all ages!"

"There's no conversion ratio, so how can we compare?"

"I do know how much it costs. The normal price is more than 100 yuan to more than 200 yuan per kilogram. But blue crabs are rarely so big. These ones must weigh five or six kilograms. Are they expensive?"

"Haven't prices in the base increased dramatically recently?"

"How do I know? Who are you asking?"

Finally, Xu Hongfeng, who came to deliver something, satisfied everyone's curiosity. He picked it up, took a look at it, and immediately said: "This is not an ordinary blue crab at all. This kind is a bit mutated. It has not passed the food inspection at the base. It is not normal." It's about 6 work points per pound? This one is only 20 or 30 work points! Instructor, why did you think of eating this? Also, who made Aunt Kong angry? This is the first time I see Aunt Kong. There was such a big fire, I heard her shouting just now at the bottom of the mountain! It was quite scary!”

emmmm

No wonder Kong Jingqiao said that even the knife used to kill pigs would not dare to stab it so hard. This was more than just killing people. It was simply an insult to Chef Kong’s professionalism.

Li Cang asked cautiously: "The taste hasn't changed, has it?"

"That's not the case." Xu Hongfeng scratched his head: "The meat is quite full and fragrant, but there is no cream and no yellow color."

Li Cang: "."

Well, the only glimmer of hope was shattered. Li Cang has been independent for so long and has never been slaughtered in such a familiar and friendly environment of the vegetable market. The car that turned over today is really a big deal.

Lao Wang smoothly picked up the big knife called the Hammer: "Teacher Cang? What do you say? Let's kill him too?"

Xu Hongfeng: "."

You are really fair, it sounds very reasonable.

"Mr. Cang, did you go to the seafood market? Why didn't you find the black boy you know well? The market is in chaos now, and robbing people is common. The relevant departments are so busy that they probably won't be able to rectify it for a while. Side, there are too many people coming from outside, and the population of the base has increased dramatically. Even temporary residence permits, entry and exit passes and other things have not been fully implemented. When I came over, they said that a private armed force was stationed in the second island chain. We went to the parking area to fight with the new arrivals, and dozens of people died. If you ask me, those new arrivals should be treated as second-class citizens. The base only insists on asking our people to exercise restraint and restraint. If you ask me, I would say give up. His grandma’s restraint makes people better than monkeys at kicking their noses in the face!”

"What's the reason for the conflict?"

"Grab business." Xu Hongfeng said: "The base only stipulated exclusive airspace and did not clarify the sovereignty of wild islands outside the third island chain. Before they came, the base was full of private armed forces and the three major defense forces worked together to mine and clean up. Yes, of course they were taken advantage of when they came, and there were also some trivial things, such as religious beliefs, institutional conflicts, interest disputes, etc. I felt a headache just listening to it on the radio. remember"

After Xu Hongfeng left, Li Cang asked how his mother was doing.

Rao Qifang shrugged, lying down completely: "It's none of my business. Is there anyone who dares to snatch the meat from my mouth?"

Jin Yujing chuckled: "You might as well ask her about our doorbell. Can she care about such a thing? Various industries in the base have been impacted in an all-round and three-dimensional manner. It is inevitable for people to compete with each other under such closed conditions. People’s energy is limited and thinking has dead ends. Even if there is a half-baked reference system for thousands of years, people who want to take advantage of it will still have their own ways.”

"This kind of fluctuation cannot rise to the height of the official level, and it will calm down after a while. They don't dare to directly hedge with the base, so they can only use some sneaky methods to pry a piece of cake out. It can't be said to be a branch base. cake bar, from the overall perspective of the base, this is actually more like an integration.

"Once the base reaches its tolerance limit, we will clear the house and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and then everything will stop." Jin Yujing drank tea leisurely: "Look, isn't this what the base does every time? Wherever there is a little light, it's there. It's boring to repeat the same old tune, but it's true that it saves trouble and effort. It's just that the process is a bit simple and rough, and ordinary people don't feel good about it."
