The next morning, it just cleared up, and the exchange point at the entrance of the camp was already crowded. More people appeared on this day than yesterday. Most of them focused on small exchange points, and there were many medium-sized exchange points. None of the large exchange points seemed to have been discussed in advance, and no one was willing to do it, They'd rather trade a little for a small amount than be remembered by the camp.
Zhang Huai'an and Wang Le and LV Xiaobu look at the crowd ahead and frown. It takes time to recruit people and build rafts that can hold grain. But yesterday, the scattered exchange eyes reduced the camp's grain reserves by half. On the premise that there is no large amount of exchange, if someone suddenly withdraws a large amount of grain today, They really don't know what to do.
They put up a big wooden sign in front of the table, which said 9:30 exchange. Then the guards with rifles came into the room and guarded, followed by countless rice bags loaded with grain pushed to the weighing place.
As time went by, the two sides of the exchange did not speak or make noise, waiting for the formal exchange to begin. Looking at the countless people holding rice tickets, Zhang Huai'an's throat was a little dry. In the afternoon, they could get the rafts ready. They had to survive today, or they would fall out before the food was delivered.
When the sun was officially scorching, the exchange began. The quiet scene was like a hot oil pot splashed with cold water. The crowd lined up in a long line, padded their toes and looked at the food bags piled up in front of them, while the people with heart were staring at the speed and frequency of transporting food out of the camp.
"I'd like to exchange 20 tons..."
A loud drink will stop the whole earthquake. People quietly turn their heads and look at the man who yells that he wants to exchange 20 tons. If more than three tons is a large amount of exchange, 20 tons is a large amount of exchange.
The man who yelled was not very old. He had a fierce face. He was bald and green. There were more than ten horizontal and vertical scars on his green head, which added to his momentum. As he looked left and right, the scar seemed to be alive.
He was followed by more than a dozen men holding knives and sticks. Of course, these men's knives and sticks were honestly put aside, and they did not even dare to face the blade towards the camp. Behind them, more than 100 people were pushing carts and carrying shoulder poles, as if they were ready to carry them.
Forty 1000 Jin large rice tickets fell solidly on the large exchange point. The man with a fierce face pretended to pose and looked around with his head up. The fear in his eyes and the spasm in his calf from time to time proved that the man was not as fierce as he was.
The staff at the exchange point looked at the 40 large rice tickets with steel seal and serial number on the table. They turned to Zhang Huai'an, who was staring at the guy who wanted to change the rice with a black face. After hesitating for three or two seconds, they gave Wang Le a hard nod and told him:
"Go and see if there is any problem with the rice ticket, As long as there's a problem with one of them, I'll skin him
The man didn't know that he had become an outsider by accident. He was one of the new rising forces. He had little capital and was too young to endure the anxiety in his heart. He came to exchange 20 tons of rice. His rice ticket had no problem, but he made a start for other small forces, One after another people came to exchange.
More and more people are changing, Zhang Huai'an's face is getting darker and darker, and the grain reserves in the camp continue to decrease. Otherwise, in the afternoon, they may even change the food for dinner.
As time went by, Zhang Huai'an and Huang Tingwei spent almost a few seconds until 11:30 when the exchange was over. Zhang Huai'an's coat and underwear were all wet with sweat. It was not hot, but urgent. He was already flustered. According to this posture, he didn't have to stay up to 15:00. I'm afraid that in less than half an hour, his food would be exhausted.
"What do you say? Our grain has bottomed out. Just now, the sea of people in charge of the granary reported that we have less than ten tons of rice left outside, but corn is still bad. Do we use corn as rice
Zhang Huai'an was also anxious. He came up with a solution that was not a solution. He was also blaming himself. After the corn was transported back, he used it as emergency food and pressed it at the bottom of the warehouse. Who would like to eat corn if there is rice? I don't know this will happen. If we don't handle it properly, I'm afraid all our plans will be in vain.
"Or... I'll go to find Liu Zhenghua and make him ready. Then I'll force him to disperse."
Huang Tingwei is also flustered. He can't make rice. The only thing he can think of is to use a knife to kill people, let Liu Zhenghua come forward, transfer the anger of the people to Liu Zhenghua, and use Liu Zhenghua's power to buy them time to deliver rice overnight, It's going to be convertible tomorrow morning, which means they only need an hour.
"No... Liu Zhenghua has already said that as long as there is no problem with food, he will have no problem, because he will not help us to subdue the whole gathering place, so we can only rely on ourselves."Zhang Huai'an always likes to think about the worst result. There are still ten tons of rice and more than 100 tons of corn in the camp. It's really not good. How can he survive today by exchanging two Jin for one jin? Although he will be taken advantage of by others, he can stabilize people's hearts. You know, without confidence, who dares to use two Jin to return one jin?
"Why don't you start looking for someone now? We'll give rice tickets for three jin of rice every day. I didn't say that."
Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but put in his mouth. As soon as he said the word "rice ticket", other people glared at him. Then he thought that it seemed that the waste paper in the rice ticket was only a little short, and now he could only give food to his stomach.
"Go... You go to find someone. Everyone has three catties of corn a day. Go and drag the corn out. We will give the corn first, and then they will take a bath and change their clothes. They are willing to let people wait for the boat instead of the boat waiting for people."
Zhang Huai'an can only come up with a way that is not a solution. He hopes to use corn to divert the attention of those people and postpone it until today, As soon as Zhang Huai'an's corn was put out, Zhang Xiaotian took the trumpet to recruit workers on the spot. Let alone, there were really people who came here. They were all poor people with small rice tickets. They had only three or four kilograms of rice tickets. I don't know how long it would take to wait in line. Why not?
Hundreds of people came scattered. Zhang Xiaotian stood in front of them and said that he would take them to the island in the middle of the lake to move grain. Although it was meant for temporary employees, the crowd in the distance also heard it. Seeing that the camp seemed very confident, some people couldn't stand the heat and ran to the side to watch the excitement, but most people still stood in the same place, waiting for the exchange, After all, no one has seen the food in the middle of the lake.
Huang Tingwei's eyes brightened when he saw more than ten scattered people withdraw from the exchange. He thought of a wonderful way to make people feel at ease.
"Good!!! This is a good way. Just do it. You should arrange people to go to the island in the middle of the lake immediately. Everything has your needs as the first goal. As long as this method is good, brother cockroach will come back to tell you his merits
Zhang Huai'an was overjoyed to hear Huang Tingwei's method. With this method, and the grain transported back, no one doubts that they have no grain.
Huang Tingwei turned to do his big work, while Zhang Huai'an told the people below to take out all the corn by forklift and put it at the gate of the camp. Thousands of sacks were neatly placed together. Seeing the magnificent scene, Zhang Huai'an also let the heat of noon relax the changers.
