The door was closed and a fourth candle was lit in the room.

Qi Yuanshan looked at Li Zhen for a long time, and after a while, he let out a long sigh: "I'm the first time I've seen a general, and I'm still a real person."

"What are you talking nonsense?" Liu Cui'e brought a steaming pot of steaming stew from the kitchen and put it on the table. She glanced at Qi Yuanshan and rubbed her hands again: "Auntie has nothing to treat you, it's just a little bit of stuff, just eat it!"

Her smile and tone were very sincere, but Li Zhen could feel that neither of the two people in front of her were very natural. Just because of such an identity? He smiled: "Didn't we eat this in the past-the same thing."

He pulled out a convenient chopstick from the side and broke it apart, and took a piece of tofu to eat.

Qi Yuanshan and Liu Cui'e seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, it is natural that is abnormal. Once you know that the person you were familiar with before became a person with the ability to destroy a city... no matter how good the psychological quality is, you will be stunned for a long time. What's more, he is now "resurrected" and is appearing in front of you.

But no matter what, the hot food was a little refreshed. Qi Yuanshan poured him a glass of beer, thought about it, and filled it with it. After a long time of grunting, he asked again: "Li Zhen, you are really..."

Aunt Liu did not interrupt him this time, but used the steaming white water mist to block his face and carefully looked at the strange and familiar young man opposite him.

"Super capable." Li Zhen nodded, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. At that time, all of these had to be kept secret. I was worried that I would implicate you, and it would be a lot of trouble."

"No wonder. Last time you told me that your business is very dangerous." Qi Yuanshan sighed, "You don't know that when the incident was reported before the New Year, we were all confused. Then my aunt still shed tears at home for several days..."

Liu Cui'e knocked his head with her chopsticks: "Hiss...why are you talking about this!"

There is another thing. Li Zhen was slightly stunned and raised his eyes to Liu Cui'e and smiled gently: "Auntie, I've made you worry."

"It's all the past, as long as you're fine." Liu Cui'e waved her hand and picked up food for him, "Eat more. No matter whether you are a capable person or a general, you are still Li Zhen here."

After all, she had a bold and splashing personality and slowly let go of it.

Li Zhen smiled: "Yes."

In fact, he only said something for more than ten minutes, but he felt that his purpose of coming here had been achieved. He was not the same as before, but these people were still the same as before. Perhaps Qi Yuanshan is now white and fat, dressed in a fashionable manner, and is no longer the first time he met the red-faced rural boy on a long-distance bus, but... his heart has not changed.

His left hand bent slightly, and hesitated to the glass of beer with water droplets. After hesitating for a second, he finally picked it up and smiled: "Come on, let's have a drink!"

Three glasses clinked together and tinged gently. At this moment, a thought suddenly arose in his mind-

I have to find myself back.

He was right, actually I had already considered it.

The candle flowers crackled and the aroma of food filled the air. Li Zhen's mouth was filled with a familiar smell, and she felt her pores slowly stretching out, and something was growing quietly in her heart.

They said a lot of things. For example, how the business of the barbecue restaurant declined day by day, for example, Li Zhen was wanted in the Philippines and encountered aurora again. He tried to take some details lightly, but it still caused the two people to suck in a cold air and sighed that he was "good luck".

When the wine was halfway through, Liu Cui'e asked, "Li Zhen, what do you think we should do? I told Yuanshan before that I would sell this store... Do you have any internal news over there? Is it reliable if I buy food?"

Li Zhen put the chopsticks on the table and thought for a while: "I just returned to China, and the specific matters are not clear. But the current situation is made by Aurora and species. Most of the factories have been paralyzed, so many people are unemployed. If there is a problem with the industrial system, it will affect many aspects, and the output of grain will also be affected. But it should not be a big problem in the short term - we have reserved grain. But the key is that there are still species - as I told you before, the situation is not very optimistic, and there may be a big war in the future. You have a vision to stockpile grain, but it should not work in the near future."

When Li Zhen said she was "foresighted", Aunt Liu grinned. But she asked again: "Why can't you do it lately?"

"Because it can last for a long time. Any major disaster will definitely be stockpiled, but this time it is different. Maybe you don't know much in China, but from my point of view, this time it is a crisis that concerns the life and death of human beings. So once the limelight of hoarding and buying appears, the punishment measures will inevitably be extremely strict. If you can't do anything foolproof... the result may be unoptimistic."

Qi Yuanshan and Aunt Liu stared at him in a daze. Although the news of similar types of combat was announced in China, it was not true. This time, when he heard the words "life and death" from Li Zhen's mouth... both of them felt a little embarrassed.

Li Zhen realized that he had overestimated the ability of ordinary people to bear, and smiled slightly: "It's different from what is said in China? In fact, you will know in a few days. But we are not at all. The Philippines is still preparing to counterattack."

Qi Yuanshan thought for a while and waved his hand: "That's right. If it really doesn't work, I'll join the army!"

Aunt Liu ignored him and hesitated for a while: "Then do you think my store should not be sold?"

Li Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart. They really regarded themselves as a "general". But even if they were really a "general", they couldn't make any idea about such things. He thought for a while: "You can do something else. When I came, I saw several shops on the way, which sold ramen buns and the like - the business was very good. There were residential areas nearby, so you can try that one."

Aunt Liu and Qi Yuanshan looked at each other and sighed: "We have thought about it."

Li Zhen was stunned: "What about?"

"There is a restricted purchase of grain now." Qi Yuanshan used chopsticks to scratch the bottom of the pot and put it down to drink a sip of wine. "The stores you see are all related, and they have issued licenses and have channels to purchase goods. Stores like us who have no license can only go to the market to buy them like before. But now the prices are rising... If you buy something and sell it, you may not be able to make a profit."

"If you switch to that kind of store, you have to buy it at the grain store. The grain store is now a government specialist, and the price is not high, so it can be opened. However, each community has designated points, so we have to go there to say hello." Aunt Liu said, "But here..."

She paused and stopped talking.

Li Zhen looked at her face with the light - a little helpless. He was looking at Qi Yuanshan, and he was still silent.

He frowned: "What's wrong? They don't sell it?"

"I didn't ask." Qi Yuanshan said in a muffled voice, "It's useless to ask. Guess who is responsible for selling food in our area?"

"I know?"

"Yeah." Qi Yuanshan sighed, "Yu Yongqiang."

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "So he has turned his back on the wrong side?"

"I don't know if we have turned aside. We don't deal with him when we buy food, but if we ask him for business...haha." Qi Yuanshan shook his head and stopped talking.

At this time, Aunt Liu stood up to clean up the dishes on the table and added: "Oh, why are you talking about this now?"

Li Zhen understood what she meant - when she said it, it sounded like she wanted to come forward and get it done by herself. Maybe they didn't have the intention, just said it casually. But he thought about it and smiled slightly: "I'll go and have a look tomorrow."

Aunt Liu frowned: "Don't, don't go. It would be a good idea for someone to tell me about it."

"I don't care." Li Zhen got up and took the plate from her as before, "Actually you did me a favor."

He said the next sentence in a low and vague manner, and Liu Cui'e didn't hear it clearly. When she wanted to ask, Li Zhen had already walked out of the candlelight and had not entered the darkness.

Aunt Liu looked at Qi Yuanshan who was shakingly drinking again, and poked his forehead with his finger: "I'm still sitting! Let's ask others to serve you?"

Qi Yuanshan squinted his eyes and smiled, and stood up with a heavy head: "Hehe...that's my buddy..."

These days, Qi Yuanshan and Aunt Liu slept in the store - on the one hand, they were afraid that someone would pry in the door in the middle of the night and steal things, while on the other hand, they were easy to accompany each other. The electricity in Liu Cui'e's community was cut off, and in her words, she was "worrying" to live there.

Li Zhen planned to spend the night here, but Aunt Liu put the table into a bed in the lobby and let him sleep on it.

The streets were very quiet. In fact, it was only around nine o'clock in the evening, but it was as quiet as it was three or four o'clock in the morning before. He lay on the soft mattress and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. He heard the deep conversation in the inner room gradually weakening, and finally snoring sounds.

So he let out a breath and closed his eyes.

The next day he got up early. As soon as he opened the roller shutter door, he found a heavy fog outside - a light red fog lingered in the crowd, as if he had life. Qi Yuanshan looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and said that the food station would open the door in another hour.

At this time, Li Zhen also understood why he saw so many people on the street yesterday. Logically speaking, a large number of people were unemployed, so the streets should be deserted. But yesterday he came to Pingyang was the time before the grain station closed - many people were in a hurry to get the grain there.

Everyone can get rations with their own ID card, and at most, it cannot exceed three-day quota. This makes the streets prosper again in the morning and evening, but it is not to go to work, but to fill their stomachs. After thinking for a while, he understood the purpose of doing this - first, it can fix a large number of people in the city and prevent refugees from forming. Second, it can obtain a large amount of information based on the records of grain purchases - such as population increase and decrease, migration, and changes in per capita demand.

The most important thing is to demonstrate the control of the government - they also have the ability to control the overall situation and feel at ease.

Yesterday, Qi Yuanshan had already bought the three-day limit, so Li Zhen wanted to go by himself and did not intend to let Qi Yuanshan follow him. Because what he thought was that after he got the matter, he would leave here and not come back. Yesterday, the two of them asked him, "You are all generals, why are there no guards?" He just joked that he was here with a "private visit".

In fact, he "escaped".

Then it is not good to stay in one place for too long, just in case someone comes to find it, which will cause a lot of trouble.

So he had breakfast and walked out to the street alone.

The grain store is not far away, just walk three streets. When he went to the grain store, he passed by the "Beichuan Ice Point House" - the roller shutter door had already been lowered. A thick layer of dust in the crack of the door seemed to have not been opened for a long time.

When he walked to the grain store, he found that people had lined up in two long queues. This place was originally a double-storey storehouse, but now it seems that the two rooms next door were also rented. At the end of the two teams were two tables, and a heavy account book was spread out on the table. One of them was taking the ID card, checking it carefully, and then registering the name of the person in the future.

Then people walked over and took out the money, paid the money and received the food.

Li Zhen felt that the two people behind the table looked familiar, so he took a few more glances. Then he was slightly stunned and smiled in his heart. It turned out to be Yu Yongqiang's two followers. One of them was writing with his left hand.

And he laughed because he figured out something. When he came, he thought that electronic equipment cannot be used now, and if it is just a fake certificate, what should I do if it is a fake certificate? Now he knows what to do - let those who make fake certificates check.

It's really a good use for everyone.

The door that bought personal rations was in the middle, and the door on the left was a little deserted. He stood for a few minutes and saw three people walking in, carrying three bags of flour and throwing a tricycle on it. This is what Qi Yuanshan said.

So he walked to the door and saw a young man in a blue uniform sitting on a chair shaking the newspaper.

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "May I ask, if you want to buy a lot of food in the store, are you going through the procedures here?"

The young man looked up at him from the newspaper. In fact, he couldn't see clearly - the light was already dim, and Li Zhen was condescending with his back.

What he saw was just a young man, and his hands were empty.

He felt that this man was not up to the Tao, so he lowered his eyelids and stared at the newspaper.

In fact, I haven't experienced this feeling of being ignored for a long time. Li Zhen only glanced at him, then stopped asking more questions, and walked into the door.

The man couldn't sit still anymore and turned around and shouted to him: "Hey, where are you going?"

"I thought you were a mute." Li Zhen looked back at him and shrugged, "I'll find someone who can communicate normally."

The man stood up and was anxious: "Who are you scolding?" (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster! Mobile users please go to m. This site to read.)
