Chapter 63 The End of the World and Card Drawing 3
Linlang noticed that very few people drew good things, which was normal, because in the memory of the original body, the probability of drawing good things was originally small and large. Most people get something worth one or two yuan.
While I was looking at it, the phone rang. When I looked at it, it was the call from my father.
Looking at this, Linlang remembered the reason why her father called her. She answered the phone and sure enough, her father asked, "Linlang, that sign-in system?" What's going on? Can it be used? "
My parents are from rural areas and have little education, so seeing that something like this happened suddenly, I didn't sign in immediately and wanted to ask my daughter first. .
Linlang said: "It works. Sign in first, and then draw a lottery. Most people can only draw simple things, but as long as you can draw food, you are lucky. You can try it."
Linlang didn't So she could tell them not to smoke for the time being, and they could get good things if they smoked ten times in a row, because this system had just appeared. How could she explain to her parents that she knew about this? So I didn’t say anything.
Anyway, the country will be able to release this research result in less than three months. Everyone will know this by then. It is only three months, which is not a long time. It doesn’t matter if we don’t talk about it for the time being. The impact will not be big.
After listening to Linlang's words, Zhang's father said: "I feel relieved when you say this. Just now I saw something like this jump out in front of me. It scared me. I didn't dare to move. I'll ask you first. ”
After asking Linlang, Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother started to sign in and draw cards. The two of them had average luck. Zhang’s mother got a 500ml bottle of water, and Zhang’s father got a pack of paper. Neither of them were Food.
Although it is not food, water and paper are also very useful.
Needless to say, water is very important due to the three years of drought. Water in the city is rationed. That is to say, my parents live in the countryside and have wells and water, so for them, Water may not be very important, but paper is. Because of the three-year drought, many trees died, so papermaking became a problem. As a result, the price of paper also skyrocketed, making both of them reluctant to buy paper.
You must know that even rural people used toilet paper before the end of the world, not waste paper. Now, because the price of toilet paper is so high, they don’t have much income, and they are reluctant to buy toilet paper, so they start to use some Waste paper goes to the toilet.
The original person was divorced before, raising a child alone, and his income was not high. It was difficult to even fill his stomach, and he did not have any extra money to buy toilet paper for his parents. Now that they have drawn the paper, it is also I'm happy for them, after all, it's always bad to go to the toilet with waste paper.
Of course, Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother thought it didn’t matter. They said that when they were young, country Z was poor. At that time, they used waste paper when they went to the toilet. It's just that now that living conditions have improved, it's become more delicate to use toilet paper. Now in the apocalypse, toilet paper is too expensive, so it's okay to use waste paper.
There is also water. Even if Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother have water in the countryside but don't need it, they can put their water cards up for sale in the transaction in the sign-in system, and urbanites who are short of water will buy them.
Yes, there is a transaction button in the check-in system. As long as a real bank card is bound, card transactions can be carried out.
Linlang saw that a 500ml water card currently sells for 20 yuan on the market. This is much cheaper than the water on the market before. After all, water in the city used to be rationed. If you want to drink excess water, you have to buy it. Anyway, there is no water coming out of the faucet at home. In this way, can the water not be expensive? It has not reached the sky yet because there is still well water in rural areas. But if the drought continues, even the wells in rural areas will run out of water, and water will need to be rationed like in cities, and the price of water will be even more expensive. In fact, not only water is cheaper than before, but food is also much cheaper than in reality. The reason is also very simple. It is probably because the sign-in system has appeared, and people think that there will be more supplies, so the prices will naturally drop.
But it didn’t drop too much because the sign-in system only has limited things to sign in, and there are all kinds of things, not just food and drink. Everyone felt that things were limited, so It didn't drop too much.
Linlang told Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother that unused cards could be sold in transactions, and asked them to ask her the price before selling them, so as not to sell them cheaply.
Although Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother are not very educated, they can still recognize the words. In addition, the sign-in system is very simple. The transaction button on it can be seen at a glance, and the transaction is not difficult. You can put things on the Sold from above, it will not be tied to the bank for the time being. The card doesn't matter, just bind it when you need to withdraw cash, so Zhang's father and Zhang's mother can sell the unnecessary cards on it first, and then when they want to withdraw cash, let Linlang go back home, or they can come Just ask Linlang and help them bind their bank cards.
Of course, Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother were ready to sell the things they drew, because they had water at home. Neither they nor their two daughters were short of water - they could get it from home when needed. I bought some to give to my two daughters.
So Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother are naturally planning to sell. Although it only costs 20 yuan, they can add up to a lot. For people like Zhang’s father and Zhang’s mother who are old and have little income, it is still a good deal. The couple would definitely be willing to get extra income.
As for the paper, they haven’t sold it for the time being, fearing that their daughter’s family might want it too. Now that they got it, they don’t have to buy it anymore.
Next, the original body's sister also called and asked her what she had drawn. Naturally, Linlang didn't say that she only signed in and did not draw a card. She only followed the original body's memory of what she had drawn and what she had drawn. The naked sister said something.
The original sister’s family did not draw anything particularly valuable. The good ones were a portion of food or water, and the bad ones were ordinary items. Some were worth a little money, and some were the same as before the end of the world. , only worth one dollar.
Many relatives and friends talked about the things they drew in the family group. The best thing was the tea egg that Xingxing drew, which was the most valuable. However, Xingxing ate it and did not sell it, so it was useless because it had the highest value.
Others feel sorry for Linlang. They think that if you sell such expensive things, you will make a profit. If you buy something cheaper then, won’t you be able to fill your stomach? Although tea eggs are delicious, they are expensive and cannot fill the stomach very much. It is not cost-effective to eat them. It is better to buy bread or steamed buns. Nowadays, bread or steamed buns are not as expensive as tea eggs - because the staple food is rationed by the state, they can barely fill the stomach. So although the prices of staple foods have also increased, they are not as high as those foods that countries do not control.
Linlang doesn’t care. Anyway, if he draws ten times in a row, he is guaranteed to get more than a hundred yuan. No matter how unlucky he is, if he draws something that has not increased in price now, it will still be more than a hundred yuan. , when the time comes, you can still buy something to fill your stomach. There is no need to sell the tea eggs that this child likes to eat, it is not less than a hundred yuan.
In the next few days, Linlang resisted the urge to draw cards and only signed in without buying anything, just to draw ten cards in a row.
