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 original memory, the chance of drawing good things was originally small, and most people drew only one or two yuan.
As he was watching, the phone rang. When he looked at it, it was a call from his father.
Seeing this, Linlang remembered the reason why her father called her. She answered the phone and, sure enough, her father asked, "Linlang, what's going on with the sign-in system?
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, which is normal.
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."
It was hard for Linlang to tell them and ask them not to smoke for the time being. Ten consecutive draws would lead to good things, because this system had just appeared. How could she explain to her parents that she knew about this? So she didn't say anything.
Anyway, it won’t take more than three months for the country to release this research result, and everyone will know it by then. It’s only three months, not a long time, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t talk about it for the time being, and it won’t have much impact.
After hearing Linlang's words, Zhang's father said, "I feel relieved when you say that. 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 began to sign in and draw cards. Their luck was average. Zhang's mother drew a 500ml bottle of water, while Zhang's father drew a pack of paper, neither of which was edible.
Although it is not for food, water and paper are also very useful.
Needless to say, water is very important due to 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 important. 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 has increased so much, they don't have much income and are reluctant to buy toilet paper, so they have started to use some waste paper in the toilet.
The original person was divorced before, raising a child alone, with a low income. It was difficult to even fill his stomach, and he didn't have any extra money to buy toilet paper for his parents. Now that they have drawn toilet paper, I am happy for them. After all, it is useless.
Paper toilets are always bad.
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 to go to the toilet. But now that living conditions are better, they have become more delicate. They use toilet paper. Now,
It's the end of the world, toilet paper is too expensive, and there's no point in using 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 you bind a real bank card, you can perform card transactions.
Linlang saw that a 500ml water card currently sells for 20 yuan on the market. This is already much cheaper than the water on the market before. After all, water in the city used to be rationed. If you want to drink extra water, you have to buy it. Anyway, there is no water from the faucet at home.
So, how can water not be so expensive? It hasn’t risen to the sky yet because there is still well water in rural areas. But if the drought continues, even the wells in rural areas will have no water, so we need to be like the ones in the city.
If water is rationed the same way, the water price 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 price will naturally drop.
But it didn’t drop too much because the check-in system only has limited items, and there are all kinds of things, not just food and drink. People 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 read the words. In addition, the sign-in system is very simple. The transaction button on the top can be seen at a glance, and the transaction is not difficult. You can put things on it to sell first. It won't be done for the time being.
It doesn't matter if you bind the bank card, you can 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 ask Linlang to go home when she wants to withdraw cash.
Or they can just come to Linlang and help them bind their bank cards.
Naturally, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were ready to sell the things they drew, because they had water at home, and neither they nor their two daughters were short of water - when needed, they could buy some from home and give it to the two daughters.
daughter.
So Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were naturally planning to sell. Although it was only 20 yuan, they could add up to a lot. For Zhang's father and Zhang's mother, who were old and had little income, it was still an extra income. The old couple was sure
is willing.
As for the paper, they haven't sold it for the time being because they were afraid that their daughter's family would want it too. Now that they got it, they didn't have to buy it anymore.
Next, the original body's sister also called and asked her what she had drawn. Linlang naturally did not say that she only signed in and did not draw cards. 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 get 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 just like before the apocalypse, only worth one dollar.
Many relatives and friends talked about the things they drew in the family group. The best thing turned out to be the tea eggs that Xingxing drew, which had the highest value. However, Xingxing ate them and did not sell them, so the highest value was useless.
Others feel sorry for Linlang. They think that if you sell such an expensive thing and make a profit, then you can buy something cheaper to eat, so you can fill your stomach. Although tea eggs are delicious, they are expensive and not very filling.
When you are full, it is not cost-effective to eat, so you might as well buy bread or steamed buns. Nowadays, bread or steamed buns are not as expensive as tea eggs. Because staple food is rationed by the state, it can barely fill your stomach. Therefore, although the price of staple food has also increased, it has not.
Food prices that are not controlled by those countries have increased dramatically.
Linlang doesn't care. Anyway, if you draw ten times in a row, you can get something worth more than 100 yuan. No matter how unlucky you are, if you draw something that hasn't increased in price now, it will still be more than 100 yuan. You can still sell it when the time comes.
If you can 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 that one hundred yuan.
