1028. Strange Black Market
The barrier No. 144 suddenly became lively, just because a batch of potatoes were suddenly transported outside the barrier. The cart of potatoes were very large and felt like a small watermelon.
If the person responsible for transporting it personally admitted that it was a potato, I am afraid that the residents of the barrier would not believe it.
At this time, Zhou Yingxue sat in the first transportation truck with great pride and drove to the Barrier Market with the convoy. This was the task assigned to her by Ren Xiaosu, asking her to use potatoes to solve the urgent need for grain shortage at Barrier No. 144.
Although Zhou Yingxue usually seems to take no one seriously, Ren Xiaosu's explanations all took Ren Xiaosu's heart.
Now that the potato saga is well-behaved, she naturally quickly brought the first batch of potatoes to seek credit.
However, Wang Yuexi, who was in the office, was holding a small meeting in the office, heard a message: "Director Wang, the person in the black market brought a large number of potatoes into the city, saying that he wanted to get the residents of the barrier to receive them for free. The potatoes were very large, and I don't know where she got them."
Everyone else in the office was stunned for a moment: "How big is it particularly big?"
"Looking like a watermelon," the subordinate gestured and said, "Now, the food price in the barrier should stabilize."
This is indeed good news for the Northwest, which is increasingly scarce in food.
But Wang Yuexi didn't think so after hearing this. He suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the convoy? Stop them quickly!"
Everyone in the office was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with Director Wang?"
But when Wang Yuexi put on his coat, he rushed out in a hurry: "I can't explain so much, stop the convoy first."
"But it's hard to stop the person in the black market. You know her style of doing things..."
"If it's not easy to stop me, I have to stop him," said Wang Yuexi: "I will arrive at the scene immediately."
When Wang Yuexi arrived, Zhou Yingxue was sitting in the car with a gloomy face, and in front of their truck convoy, two patrol vehicles from the Order Department blocked their way.
When Zhou Yingxue saw Wang Yuexi coming, he didn't sneer and said, "Yes, my master valued you so much, so do you think even my convoy can stop me? Why don't we go to my master now and say, "Who is more important to him in his words? Let's get out of here!"
Although Zhou Yingxue is extremely well-behaved in Ren Xiaosu's place, she may not be so well-behaved in women who open black markets outside the barriers. When Zhou Yingxue first arrived, some people coveted her black market business and even coveted this person.
As a result, all of those people have evaporated from the world and I don’t know where to throw them as fertilizer.
Wang Yuexi said seriously: "This has nothing to do with who the young marshal values. There is also my reason for stopping your convoy. Even if I go to the young marshal to judge, I am not afraid."
As he said that, Wang Yuexi first asked the people from the Order Department to evacuate all the onlookers, and then walked up to look at the potatoes in the car.
Zhou Yingxue raised her eyebrows: "I am doing good things for the barriers. Don't you know that my master is anxious about the food shortage?"
"I understand that you are kind-hearted, but it is very likely that you will do bad things with good intentions." Wang Yuexi was actually a scholar who was a little arrogant at heart. It was this arrogance that caused him to have no job for a long time and was not welcomed anywhere.
Now that Zhou Yingxue heard him say this, he was immediately dissatisfied: "You tell me why I did something bad with kindness. If you don't tell me a reason, I'll invite you to the black market to have tea today."
Wang Yuexi said, "Let's go, let's go to the Young Marshal to discuss this matter together."
"No need, I'm here," Ren Xiaosu heard that Wang Yuexi stopped Zhou Yingxue's convoy and rushed over. He curiously said, "Is something wrong?"
Zhou Yingxue was still arrogant just now, but when Ren Xiaosu appeared, she immediately changed into a grievance: "Master, didn't you ask me to plant potatoes? As a result, I sent the potatoes. He insisted that I was kind-hearted to do something bad, is my potatoes poisonous or what? By the way, I have also got good news here. Now I can not only grow potatoes, but also collect seeds from other crops. Look, the last car is the winter melon I planted the day before yesterday! But I worked so hard to solve your problems for you, but someone has framed me..."
Since Ren Xiaosu said he wanted to promote the northwest, Zhou Yingxue was not idle. She took her subordinates from the black market to reclaim a piece of wasteland for the first time, and then offered a high-priced reward in the black market: looking for mutated crops, including but not limited to wheat, sorghum, winter melon, tomatoes, etc.
Zhou Yingxue's ability to store unique seeds must be used on plants that have already mutated, but ordinary plants cannot do it.
This is the first time such a simple reward task has appeared in the black market. In the past, it was all assassination, trafficking intelligence, causing accidental deaths, and transporting secret goods. Now this task hanging high at the top of the black market taskbar looks so out of place.
This is the first time that the heroes in the black market have found that they are so close to food, and the offer is quite high, so high that those killers who vow to only do high-end tasks have all gone to the wilderness to look for mutated crops.
Now all the slogans at the entrance of the black market have been changed. In the past, it was "Be greedy for life and fear of death, don't enter this door."
Now it is "From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables, from tomorrow, facing the sea, spring is blooming."
This is particularly touching when pronounced in Northwest dialect.
I have to say that Zhou Yingxue is indeed not inferior to Wang Fugui and others in solving problems for Ren Xiaosu, and she is very dedicated and hardworking.
Now some people say that she is doing something bad, but Zhou Yingxue can’t stand this grievance!
Ren Xiaosu glanced at her: "Don't pretend to be wronged when you speak well. No one has done anything to you. I have never seen you like this before. Don't learn bad things from others. Wang Yuexi, tell me."
"It's such a young man," Wang Yuexi explained: "You have mentioned potatoes before, but I don't know how to grow potatoes so quickly. Before I could plan in detail, the potatoes were transported in. Of course, it's a good thing to have potatoes. I would like to thank Miss Zhou in advance, but this potatoes must not be placed in the market for free."
In Wang Yuexi's view, although this batch of potatoes can suppress grain prices in the short term, if the emergence of free potatoes causes some stall owners to lose their jobs and cause the vegetables, fruits and melons in their hands to rot in their hands, it will actually be a blow to the entire market.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to only eat potatoes. Those who should buy cabbage will buy them, but they will definitely buy less than usual.
Wang Yuexi continued: "I heard from Miss Zhou that she can grow something else, but I don't think this move is suitable for large-scale planting."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
"Young Marshal, I'll ask you a question," said Wang Yuexi: "If everyone can get unlimited life resources without working anymore, will they be enriched or empty?"
