Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 46 The First Wave of Panic Buying
"Everyone, there is still a big problem before us. If we can't solve it, I won't be able to collect any more food."

"What's the trouble?"

Mayor Paul frowned suddenly.

"The problem of logistics, this batch of grain is going to be exported to the Eastern Region. In our town alone, there are at least hundreds of thousands of tons. This is not a small amount.

Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to rely entirely on road transportation, and it is too time-consuming. Even if I am willing, you may not be willing to wait. Let's think of a solution together? "

Zhang Jiayi replied.

Old William has the most experience: "Since the road is impassable, we can only use the railway. As long as our volume is large enough and the freight is raised appropriately, I think the railway company will definitely be willing to open a special line."

Generally speaking, a train can pull almost [-] tons of grain. Even if it does not stop around the clock, it will take at least ten days and a half months.

Suddenly increasing the amount several times, it may not be possible to complete it in a month. Zhang Hao took it for granted before.

"Leave this to me, and I will contact you tomorrow."

Mayor Paul took the initiative to take over the task.

"You can't give up on the highway. My brother is in a hurry. If you have the conditions, you'd better transport the grain to the port by yourself. The purchase price can be increased by [-]%."

Zhang Jiayi's move was also helpless.

If time drags on, food prices will definitely rise.

By then it will be worth it.

"Is this true?"

The crowd immediately became excited.

The purchase price of [-]% is much higher than the shipping cost.

"If you are worried, we can add this clause to the contract."

Zhang Jiayi nodded solemnly.

……

Compared with the panic on the other side of the ocean, the Eastern Region is much calmer. Most people eat three meals a day and commute as usual.

Only a small group of people with a strong sense of urgency began to hoard all kinds of survival materials in a planned way, but the number was very limited, and it was almost rare.

It can be said that there are almost no people who go to war like Zhang Hao. After all, the doomsday conspiracy theory lacks a living environment in the Eastern Region, and it is not even a minority.

Even fewer are willing to put it into practice.

But everything is not absolute.

In addition to young people, there is another group of people who have been affected, and they are the elderly group who have been "brainwashed" by various short video marketing accounts.

Driven by them, a wave of panic buying quickly set off in the society.

Li Dajuan is one of them.

Early in the morning, Zhang's mother couldn't wait to call her son, reminding him to go to the market to buy a few bags of flour and come back, and don't take it seriously.

Zhang Hao naturally agreed.

Seeing grandma finish the phone call, Cao Fan on the side couldn't help persuading again:
"Grandma, those marketing accounts on the Internet are all nonsense. They deliberately scare you old people. How can there be an end of the world in reality?"

"Is it so difficult for you to ask for a day off?"

Li Dajuan said unhappily.

Everyone else in the family has a formal job, only the eldest grandson runs his own company as the boss and has more freedom, so she was arrested by her.

"Grandma, I didn't mean that..."

"Then stop talking nonsense, eat quickly, and accompany me to the supermarket after eating. Your parents are busy with work. Fortunately, grandma is here. Otherwise, your family is going to drink northwest wind next!"

Little Pudding heard the milky voice and said softly, "Grandma, I also want to go to the supermarket. Little Pudding is strong and can help you carry a lot of things."

Big Pudding immediately raised his chubby hand:
"Grandma, and me!"

"Don't be naughty. It's a mess outside today. There are big bad guys. Grandma can't beat the bad guys. I'll send you to Grandma Zhong's house next door later. You two are obedient. Grandma will bring you delicious food when she comes back."

Li Dajuan hurriedly exhorted.

"Okay!"

The pudding brothers nodded again and again.

Grandma Zhong's family has a very cute little sister, and they like to play with her.

An hour later, Cao Fan drove his grandmother to a large supermarket nearby.

I don’t know if I don’t come, but the supermarket, which has always been deserted, is actually full on a day. There are people everywhere inside and out, and most of them are elderly people.

Cao Fan saw a white-haired old man walking like flying with a box of eggs in his arms. He was more athletic than a young man, not at all like an old man.

Li Dajuan reached out and patted the eldest grandson, and urged loudly: "Don't be in a daze, come in with me quickly, if you don't buy anything, everything will be robbed."

"Grandma, let me push a shopping cart."

"What shopping cart do you want? There are so many people in it, there is nowhere to go, and the things in the cart are easy to be stolen. Just take two shopping baskets."

Li Dajuan ordered directly.

Cao Fan immediately ran over to grab two shopping baskets, and then squeezed into the supermarket with his grandmother.

He already had a premonition that today would be a big trouble.

It was noon soon, and Li Dajuan glanced at the "trophies" in the car full of interest, and finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing shopping:

"Let's stop here today. There's nothing good in the supermarket. We'll come back later when the supermarket finishes replenishing. The flour is a bit low."

"Hey, good!"

Cao Fan was greatly relieved when he heard this.

He can't remember which car this is, and his grandmother is too good at buying it, so let's not talk about the others. He has stockpiled dozens of boxes of toilet paper alone, and they can be used for three years.

After returning from the supermarket, Li Dajuan ordered a pot of noodles, and then impatiently brought a bag of rice to the neighbor's house next door, ready to take her grandchildren home.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Old Li, are you back? How is the shopping going?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked with a smile.

"It's almost time to go again tomorrow." Li Dajuan lit up the rice in her hand, "Aren't your family from the south, I will give you a bag of rice."

"You're welcome."

Zhong Xiaoqin reluctantly took the rice.

She is a university professor. With her cultural accomplishment and knowledge, the rumors in the market can't affect her at all.

Li Dajuan smiled, and then waved to her grandchildren: "Big pudding, little pudding, lunch is ready, come and go home with grandma."

"Grandma, I want to play a little longer."

"Good, be obedient."

"Old Zhang, how about letting the two of them eat at our house? My lunch is almost ready here."

Zhong Xiaoqin suggested.

Li Dajuan waved her hand: "Don't bother, anyway, our two families are not a few steps away, I will send them over after dinner, and we will chat together by the way.

The young man you told me about last time is very nice. I went to see him yesterday. He is very energetic and fits well with the third child in our family. Please tell me again. "

"As long as you are satisfied, look for a chance to let the two children meet together later."

"Okay!" Li Dajuan finished speaking, holding a grandson with one hand, "Say goodbye to Grandma Zhong!"

"Goodbye, Grandma Zhong! Goodbye, Aunt Liao! Goodbye, Mengmeng Sister!"

Soon, the grandparents and grandchildren left.

Liao Jialin came over to take the rice from her mother-in-law, and said with disgust on her face:
"What's wrong with sending rice? Mom, where did this Aunt Zhang come from? Why haven't I seen it before?"

"She is the mother-in-law of Doctor Cao next door, and she moved here in July."

"Is this going to be a long stay?"

"Their house is being renovated and they are staying here temporarily."

"Oh, Dr. Cao is going to have a headache now. This Auntie Zhang is really serious. She heard that the wind is like rain. She went out to pull several trucks in the morning and came back. It is estimated that the house is almost piled up into a mountain."
