The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse

"Why is there a power outage? How do we live because of the power outage on these days!"

"That is, my grandson was crying hotly after the power outage today. The adults can bear it, but children, let the children starve to death!"

When Jiangliu and others rushed to the power supply bureau, there were already a group of people who surrounded the power supply bureau and asked the power supply bureau to give an explanation.

"If we can, we don't want to have a power outage, and it's not just your elderly and children at home." Perhaps the iron door of the power supply bureau was locked, and employees were comforting people outside.

"The notice from the Municipal Bureau has come down. In the future, the South District will be energized from 10 to 16 o'clock, and the North District will be energized from 12 to 18 o'clock. If there are changes, it will be notified separately."

The deputy director of the power supply bureau said with a tweeter: "This is already the limit that the power supply bureau can achieve. Everyone can't make trouble anymore. We have no conditions to build a wind power plant here, except for wind power. Stations, thermal power generation, nuclear power generation or hydropower generation are essentially inseparable from water. Now that there is less and less water on the surface, there is no way in the bureau."

These days, the deputy director's anxious hair is almost gone, worrying about work and family matters.

His little grandson was only eight months old. He suffered heat stroke directly after a power outage today. The whole body is hot and hot, but the hospital is not open normally now, or he has found a lot of pediatric doctors that he has just found to help his grandson. .

Now he placed his grandson and daughter-in-law in his own office, and turned on the air conditioning in the office by his duty, but he also knew that this was not a long-term plan. There will be complaints.

This anxiety, another string of sorrows on his mouth, did not know when it would disappear.

"What should I do!"

"No way out!"

"There is also a shortage of food and a power outage. This is forcing people to die."

The deputy director of the power supply station said that, and it can be seen that this is the final result of the treatment. It can only supply six hours of electricity a day. What about the other 18 hours?

In particular, everyone was alarmed by the news revealed in the deputy director's words, that is, water.

The electricity supply bureau has begun to restrict electricity use due to lack of water. Will the water plant stop supplying water because the water in the reservoir has evaporated and there is no new precipitation?

There was a power outage, and one by one would probably pass. But if there is a water outage, this will kill people.

Thinking of this, everyone can't take care of the argument surrounding the power supply, and quickly go back to each house to find all the containers in the house to fill the water, at least to store the water before the water plant really stops. Enough.

"Mr. Village, what shall we do?"

Originally, I came to the city specifically to inquire about the power outage. Now I have heard reliable news, and it makes no sense to ask the employees of the power supply station.

"Go to Sufang Street."

Li Dong pondered what the deputy director had just said, and he responded casually.

So the group rerouted and went to Sufang Street.

"Solar generators can be used with a series of home appliances such as air conditioners, package installation, package tutorials."

"Diesel generators, high-power and low-power models are optional, buy and give away ten catties of diesel."

...

As soon as they entered Sufang Street, the villagers in Hou'an heard a treble treble.

"Solar generator, good thing!"

Li Dong's eyes brightened immediately. He actually forgot this. Not to mention that there are now three more suns in the sky and less water resources. As a result, thermal power plants are unable to provide sufficient electricity. But because there are more suns, solar energy The resources have become richer. If you buy a solar generator at this time, does it mean that you will not have to worry about the risk of power outages at home.

But the diesel generator was not in the scope of Li Dong's consideration from the beginning. The diesel generator uses diesel as the name suggests. Now in this world, diesel is the same precious food as food. Diesel generators.

Obviously, as long as the person with the brain is Li Dong's idea, there are still a few people standing in front of the solar power generation and the booth, and even if the diesel generator is engaged in the activity of buying diesel, no one is interested.

"Looking at the power, if you want a solar generator that can drive the air conditioner, a price of 1,000 pounds of grain, if you only want a solar generator that can drive ordinary small appliances such as induction cookers and electric fans, a price of 180 pounds of grain."

Someone before Li Dong asked them about the generator's selling price, the man in a suit who seemed to keep the dress well before the change came to say firmly.

"1000 pounds of grain, isn't this money?"

Li Dong heard it and could not help but exclaim.

Before the end of the world, solar energy generators that can drive air conditioners cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and even cheaper ones can be bought at 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. Now the food is so expensive, and now the money has become waste paper. Less than ten pounds of rice.

"This is wrong. Is food valuable? Isn't electricity worthless? This uncle, do you have children and old people at home, our young people can suffer from the hot weather, and the elderly and children can't stand it, so I think this price is worth it. "

The man refused to let go of the price.

"too expensive."

The villagers gathered together to discuss in a small voice. Of course, they were greedy for this solar generator. If they could install one at home, they would not have to worry about the power outage in the future. It was just that the price was too high. Although they had listened to the village head Li Dong’s reminder Did not sell the grain harvested last fall and the sweet potatoes at the beginning of the year, but it can be counted that each household can have two or three thousand kilograms of grain to store grain, and they are suddenly asked to spend nearly half of the family to buy a solar generator, which is obviously not reality.

And is it not the case that the power supply station said that it will supply electricity for six hours a day, and the big deal is one by one, which is obviously more important than the pain of heating, which is to support them to live longer.

"In this way, you leave me a call."

Li Dong asked the person who sold the solar generator to ask for a number. He felt that this should not be the lowest price. Besides, everyone should buy a generator and go back to discuss it with their family members.

The man did not refuse to see that Li Dong and others were all strong and strong. Unlike people who had been hungry, they should have a little food at home and gave Li Dong a business card.

After that, Li Dong and others went shopping on Sufang Street, and a group of two or three people went to buy what they needed.

There are not many shops open on this street, but there are a lot of people on both sides of the street. These people are mostly residents of the county. Because there is not enough food in the family, they exchange some items in the house for food.

Tens of thousands of mink coats, tens of thousands of famous watches and jade articles, precious handicrafts...There are everything in this street, but the vast majority of them are uninterested.

But one of the people who walked with Jiangliu couldn't help it. They bought a jade Buddha for ten kilograms of rice. This jade Buddha was worth at least one hundred and twenty thousand in the peaceful years. A series of certificates are complete and should be Not fakes.

Because one person bought the Jade Buddha, many of the men who came with him were moved, and they stared at those big gold chain famous watches one by one, and they wanted to buy an enjoyable one, or Li Dongqi's curse, they took these people. Suppress.

"I have to buy some salt, and my pigs have to be killed."

It was Yang Sanhan who spoke in the village. He raised five pigs in his family. He didn't eat feed, but only the pig food he carefully prepared, and he was very sturdy and fat.

He is very skilled in raising pigs. Every year the pigs raised at home have been reserved for pork. The pork flavor of his family is different from the kind of farmed pigs fed by feed hormones. The taste is surprising and the ordinary pork is sold. A dozen yuan a catty, the farmer's native pig sells about 20 yuan a catty, his pork is more expensive, can buy nearly forty yuan, almost double the market price.

The five pigs of Yang Sanhan had to be raised for another two months to be slaughtered, but now it is not working, the weather is too hot, the five pigs have no appetite for eating, the fat is much less visible to the naked eye, plus the waste of pig breeding, now The plants were withered by the sun, and there was no way to leave the fresh hogweed. Yang Sanhan could only bear the pain and slaughter five fat pigs that had not yet been raised.

"Sanhan, do you sell pork, I want to buy half-fan pork chops, two pork legs, do you collect food or salt?"

There is no shortage of frozen pork in the space of the river, but the taste of the pork is not as good as the local pigs raised by Yang Sanhan. After coming to Huan Village, he heard a lot of rumors about the local pigs raised by Yang Sanhan, but he did not taste it himself.

Besides, there is a gluttonous girl in the family. It is a pity not to buy such good pork.

"Do you have table salt?"

Yang Sanhan's eyes brightened. He didn't plan to sell all the pork, but wanted to sell a part of it and keep a part of it. After all, he didn't know if anyone would raise pigs or chickens. The family had to keep some meat. , Not only to understand greed, but also to supplement physical strength.

Therefore, salt is very important. This trip to Yang Sanhan is for salt.

"Yes, my milk was quite a lot in 11 years."

Jiang Liu smiled, "It's just some coarse salt, which is not good for cooking, but it is very good for curing meat."

"By the way, Aunt Lao Jiang had put a lot of salt back then, because your mother still quarreled with your milk for a long time."

Jiang Liu reminded everyone that they remembered that old thing, but they couldn’t remember how much salt the Jiang family had put in. They originally thought that Jiang Jiang’s mom had disposed of everything in the family after the accident. I thought that the salt in Tun was still there.

The people present were envious of what was wrong. Aunt Jiang was confused. It was too prescient. Although I don't know how much salt she put in, it was enough for the river to change a lot.

"In this way, ten pounds of coarse salt for one pound of meat."

Yang Sanhan gritted his teeth and set the price. Now meat is a dispensable thing, but people can't run out of salt. Yang Sanhan was a little guilty when he said this.

"Okay, that's it. Uncle San, you will kill the pig one day. I'll go to your house to help."

The coarse salt of the old lady Tun is at least nearly a catty, and the price set by Yang Sanhan is still within the range of the river.

"If you are short of salt, you can come to my house and change one pound of coarse salt for three pounds of grain, regardless of whether it's rice or potato flour."

The exchange price of Jiangliuding is very affordable. Although coarse salt cooking is not as good as fine salt, it is not much worse.

"Go to see if the condiment shop is open. I have to buy some poco, grass fruit powder, chili noodles and five-spice powder."

As soon as Jiangliu is willing to exchange grain for salt in the village, everyone has less to worry about. The price is fair and acceptable to the villagers, but it is not enough to save food except salt.

For example, pork, made of bone dregs or oil jar meat can be kept for a year or two. The taste is better than ordinary bacon, but it needs more spices. I don’t know that these spices are not cheap now.

In the third hour after leaving the village, almost all the food brought by the villagers was used to exchange goods. A group of people took the new harvest and rode their bicycles in the direction of the village.
