Survival for all: I, the creator of the halo.

Chapter 194: Meat for meat, the prototype of the trading market
After being called Qi Laoer and being teased by the people around him, he immediately blushed and said: "Who said I can't afford five kilograms of edible meat? Before I joined the territory, I still had more than 100 kilograms of meat in my backpack. , if I can only exchange for five kilograms of edible meat, I would be prepared to exchange all the inedible meat."

His words immediately surprised everyone around him. Ning Ze did not take action on all the supplies in their backpacks, but only took away some useful things from the people who joined the territory later.

As for food, he didn't touch it much. After all, there was enough inedible meat in the territory, and he didn't have to take these low-value food supplies.

Qi Laoer was obviously a normal player who was not a citizen before, and he still had some private materials stored in his backpack, and his words also made many people envious.

However, Laiyami looked at him and said calmly: "The lord has stipulated that the people of the third ring can only exchange five kilograms of edible meat every month. However, given that most of the people currently do not have enough food in their hands, so every three rings One day can only be exchanged for one pound of edible meat.”

Her words immediately made Qi Laoer's throat seem to be blocked, and everyone around him laughed.

Qi Laoer wanted to say something, but considering the identity of the other party, he finally suppressed these words and said instead: "Then I will first exchange for a pound of edible meat, and by the way, the exchange for edible rice There’s no limit, right? Then give me ten pounds of edible rice first.”

But Laiyami told him: "There is indeed no limit to the amount of edible rice that can be exchanged, but the lord has stipulated that in the first month, the people of the third ring can only exchange for ten kilograms of edible rice, and they can only exchange for two kilograms every three days. Half of the edible rice, and cannot be exchanged for sufficient amounts of edible meat and edible rice at the same time.”

Qi Laoer suddenly took a deep breath when he heard this. Good guy, you can only exchange one pound of edible meat and two and a half pounds of edible rice every three days. You can't exchange them together.

Really speaking, it was just to let them have a taste, but that was the rule, and he couldn't say anything else. In the end, he had no choice but to exchange it for a pound of edible meat. In short, he wanted to taste the edible meat first.

At this time, the lord was also paying attention to the situation at the grain depot not far away. He also knew that many of the subjects actually had some food stocks in their backpacks. These people were probably richer than some department employees. Be rich.

But he still chose to impose some restrictions on the exchange of grain depots for some subjects whose titles were not high enough. After all, the vast majority of people still did not have enough food stocks, and these people could not be allowed to squander too much.

At the same time, if there are no restrictions, it may lead to some chaos in the territory.

[-]. At this moment, Ning Ze suddenly saw something interesting.

I saw a Third Ring Territory citizen finally queuing for so long and exchanging a pound of edible meat from the grain depot. But when he carefully looked at the meat in his hand, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"No way, the edible meat I spent five pounds of inedible meat on is actually a piece of ribs?"

The citizen suddenly felt like crying without tears. He roughly estimated the piece of meat in his hand. About half of it was bones. In other words, the meat was only half a pound or even less.

His words immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. When these people saw the piece of meat in his hand, they all showed expressions of pity.

But at the next moment, another citizen suddenly found this person, and this third-circle citizen immediately recognized that the other person was a second-circle citizen who was also employed at the Institute of Technology. He couldn't help but notice the look on his face. Becoming a little nervous.

But the other party said softly: "I heard that the meat you exchanged was a piece of ribs?"

The Third Ring Territory citizen was a little confused and nodded at the same time.

"Tsk, tsk, you are quite unlucky. This piece of meat probably has half a catty of bones. You are really unlucky to be able to exchange it for such meat."

When the other party saw the piece of meat in his hand, he immediately expressed sympathy for him.

"Let's see, I'm a kind-hearted person who doesn't want anyone to suffer a loss. After all, we are all brothers from the same territory. I can't let you, brother, eat all the losses by yourself. I will also take some losses for you and exchange them with you for seven taels of edible meat. This piece of meat in your hand.”

The third-ring leader's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the other party with a look of disbelief. However, he thought that he had obviously exchanged a pound of edible meat, but in the end he only got seven taels of meat. It was still a loss.

The other party also seemed to see his hesitation, and couldn't help but continue: "It's because I'm a kind-hearted person, and I happen to be working in the Institute of Engineering and have some savings, so I'm willing to help you. After all, we don't want to see brothers in the same territory eating together. Even if you don’t have enough to eat, if I exchange seven taels of meat for this piece of meat in your hand, which is probably less than half a catty, you can get some health back.”

It seemed that he was convinced by the other party, so the citizen of the third ring said: "Then it's agreed, seven taels of meat, not a single bone, it must be all meat."

"Just relax, brothers from the same territory, how can they trick you? It's all meat, and it's pure lean meat, with lots of protein."

Afterwards, a transaction was completed. The Third Ring Territory citizen looked at the piece of meat in his hand. It was indeed edible meat and it was lean wild boar meat. He immediately became happy.

However, the person who exchanged meat with him walked towards another person who had just exchanged edible meat.

"I heard your meat is too fat?" he asked.

The other party was also wary of his identity, and said with some slurred words: "It is indeed like this. There is too much fat, almost half of it. It would be better if there were more lean meat."

He glanced at the other person's piece of meat. There was indeed a lot of fat on it, but what struck him was that it was actually a piece of bear meat.

Immediately, his eyes rolled up and he said: "Well, fat meat is not delicious and has no nutrition. I will suffer a loss and exchange eight taels of edible meat for your piece of meat. It is all lean." Meat."

But the other party immediately said: "No, if I exchange it this way, I will lose two taels of meat. Even if it is fat meat, it is still meat. If I want to exchange it, I have to exchange one pound of meat for one pound of meat."

He seemed to show a hint of pain, and said with difficulty: "Okay, one pound of meat will be exchanged for one pound of meat. Who said I am willing to help others, I should just supplement the diet and nutrition for Brother Sanhuan."

Ning Ze observed this scene with interest, and this was not the only case. He also saw many official employees of various colleges doing similar things.

"What are these people doing?" Ning Ze continued to observe the situation curiously.

Soon, he saw that the employee from the Industrial Institute seemed to have completed all the transactions, and then set up a stall in a conspicuous location.

And on the stall, there happened to be the meat that he had exchanged from other residents.

Realizing that the matter was not simple, the lord immediately came closer to observe, but it seemed that someone was faster than him. In a blink of an eye, the stall was already filled with people.

Someone couldn't help but joked: "What a strange thing. The grain depot has just been opened. Can't you exchange meat there? What kind of trouble are you going to make by setting up a stall here to sell meat?"

But after seeing the meat on the stall, some people asked about the price: "Tsk, tsk, there is even pork rib meat. This stuff is much more delicious than ordinary meat when braised in braise. By the way, boss, this piece weighs a pound." How do you sell pork ribs?" The staff of the Institute of Technology immediately responded with a smile: "You know the goods, and our stall is also a good one. I saw that you were the first to ask about the price, so I specially gave you a preferential price, one and a half pounds. You can eat pure lean meat and replace it with this piece of pork ribs. If there is some fat, you can get a better discount depending on the situation."

His words immediately caused dissatisfaction among many people.

"No, am I crazy or are you crazy? You want to exchange a pound of ribs for a pound and a half of my pure lean meat?"

"How the hell can you do business like this? You are so evil."

"After the appraisal, all the profiteers should be dispersed."

Some people left, but others stayed still.

In the end, a formal soldier from the Military Academy bought the piece of meat without hesitation.

Regarding this scene, everyone was once again confused. It seemed that they could not imagine that someone would actually trade one and a half kilograms of pure meat for this piece of pork ribs that was less than half a kilogram of meat.

But then, a scene that shocked them even more happened. Another soldier from the military academy took out a pound of pure lean meat and exchanged it for a piece of pure fat meat from this stall.

It seemed that someone couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to remind: "One pound of meat is exchanged for one pound of fat. Even if you are rich, that's not how you are made."

But the soldier said indifferently: "You don't understand. For us soldiers, fat meat is much better than lean meat. For such a long time, I have eaten almost all lean meat, even for a day." Even if I eat four or five pounds of meat, I always feel weak, but every time I eat a little fat, I feel more energetic."

His words made others hesitate, and the situation here seemed to have spread to the military academy. After a short time, a large number of soldiers came to these stalls and traded a lot of meat.

In addition to these soldiers, some employees of various courtyards who had abundant food stocks also traded some meat at these stalls. Only the residents of the Third Ring Territory could only watch this scene helplessly. After all, these stalls all had a unified requirement, so That means only exchanging edible meat for edible meat, and not using any inedible grains.

Of course, these stalls did not appear to be very harmonious. For example, a dispute was taking place at one stall.

"I said, your meat is pure lean meat, why do you charge me one and a half kilograms of pure lean meat?"

The stall owner retorted: "Look what you said, our meat is serious bear meat, and it is also thigh meat. It looks firm at first glance. Why can't it be replaced by your one and a half kilogram wild boar meat? You know, bear meat is this Toy, if you miss this batch, I’m afraid you’ll never come across it in your life.”

"No, no, no more than one pound or three taels, no more."

"It's four pounds per pound, no matter how little it is, we won't sell it."

"make a deal!"

Ning Ze watched this scene and couldn't help but feel very interesting. Originally, he was worried about how to lay out the market in the territory. After all, there is no fixed currency in circulation in the territory now, and it would be a lot of inconvenience to conduct transactions.

But these citizens are obviously not all peaceful owners. The grain depot has just been opened, and there are already many people setting up stalls, and the transaction volume is not bad.

Among them, the main buyers are those who belong to the war army. After all, these people have the highest salary, and the food provided to them every day is not bad, allowing them to save more food.

Of course, although the residents of the Third Ring Road are not able to participate in such "high-end transactions," they have also opened many stalls in the same way.

The items traded are mainly inedible grains, the most popular of which is inedible fat. Perhaps because these people have not consumed enough fat for a long time, many people become greedy when they see fat.

And from a scientific perspective, in fact, in this kind of high-intensity working life, consuming fat is often more conducive to replenishing body energy than simply consuming protein.

Therefore, the first batch of collar people who sold their fat meat were now regretting it. Among them, the most regretful one was the three-ring collar man who exchanged the pork ribs for seven taels of lean meat. civil.

Ning Ze did not interfere in all this. The initial formation of the market was of certain benefit to the territory. It could at least promote the development of the territory's society. This was a benign development.

"Speaking of which, I wonder how Song Anmin's research is progressing."

Song Anmin is the president of the Academy of Sciences, and his current main research direction is on the mechanism of luminous plants. Therefore, he specially gave Song Anmin special privileges, allowing him to conduct inspections and research in the native areas of luminous plants.

"At this point in time, Song Anmin should still be doing research in the Academy of Sciences."

When Ning Ze came to the Academy of Sciences, he saw that the lights in the Academy had not been extinguished yet, and figures could be vaguely seen moving around.

When I walked in, I was shocked to see Song Anmin lying on a table. The table was filled with many plant specimens.

"Lord Lord, you are here."

After Song Anmin saw him, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

Ning Ze nodded and said casually: "Tonight is the night of harvest. The research can be postponed for a while. There is no need to work so hard."

Song Anmin just nodded without saying anything.

"By the way, how is the research progress?" he asked.

As if he was talking about professional matters, Song Anmin suddenly became more talkative: "To return to the lord, research is not a day's work, and it is impossible to have breakthrough research results so quickly."

Halfway through his words, he added: "However, after my subordinates have done some preliminary research, we can already preliminarily define certain things."

"Oh? Let's hear it." Ning Ze suddenly became interested and quickly picked up a stool to listen.
