Doomsday rat

Chapter 454 Smuggler

Of course, if businessmen like Zhang Pinggui and Iszawei are hungry, or need someone to do something, they can also use shopping vouchers to spend here, just don’t think it’s too expensive.

This meal cost more than 5 yuan. There were only two vegetarian dishes in total, and a bottle of spirits brewed by someone who didn't know what.And 5 yuan can buy ten catties of high-quality fine-wool mutton here, or more than ten catties of rice noodles from the base, enough to feed a refugee for half a month.

Not to mention meat dishes, wild game is currently the least valuable, only a little more expensive than a big bowl of tea.As long as a person is brave enough and has some skills, he can go to the nearby mountains to catch small animals such as hares, pheasants, badgers, and prairie rats. If he is lucky, he may even encounter goats and even deer.

The reason why people in the old world sought to eat wild animals was not because there were few, and rare things were more expensive.The meat of most wild animals, in the absence of spices and seasonings, is hard to compare with the taste of artificially raised livestock, except for fish.

Hong Tao still paid for the meal, and Zhang Pinggui and Iszawei also rushed to pay for it. As a result, Hong Tao's face was reddened by drinking and immoral, and he was suppressed together with the ax in his hand.

"The herdsmen have mutton, so they are not afraid to spend money...the wine is delicious, next time you treat guests!" Hong Tao is also proficient in the technique of pretending to be drunk and playing virtuous deeds. The image is vividly portrayed.

Then Iszawi and Zhang Pinggui were completely relieved, who wouldn't be secretly happy to meet such an ignorant and straightforward partner.So Hong Tao received the first smuggling job, carrying two packs of medicine for Iszawe, and the shipping fee to Huocheng was 6 yuan.

The place where Hong Tao slept at night was at the entrance of Iszawe's shop, and he was accompanied by two old draft horses.There were still rooms in that restaurant and hotel called Xiyingmen, but in his capacity, how could he be willing to spend money to sleep in it.

As for whether Iszawi and Zhang Pinggui's family could make do with one night, they invited them, but Hong Tao didn't agree.He can put on a show during the day, but he can't sleep wearing snow goggles at night. If he talks a few more words in his sleep, he will be completely exposed.

For herdsmen, the sky is the quilt, and the earth is the bed, so you have to dress up the whole set.If you want to talk about why you sleep on the side of the street, you don't go to find an empty house in the ghetto.Indeed, the ruins of this city are more than enough to accommodate 20,000 people. Many houses look solid, even if they have no windows or doors, they are still better than the open air.

But Zhang Pinggui and Iszhawei said, either go home with them to sleep, or sleep in front of the shop, never go deep into the residential area to find no one's house.In that case, there would probably be one more corpse the next day.

The Redeemer sentries on the wooden tower are mainly responsible for vigilance, not law and order. They are used to ensure that the base will not be attacked suddenly. No one will walk around the streets at night and patrol the streets to catch robbers and thieves for refugees.As long as there is no big commotion, no one will see how many people die.

On the contrary, this commercial street is relatively safe. After all, it is just outside the south gate of the base, and it is still the main street with many wooden towers and guard posts.But you can't relax too much, you must hide your belongings well to avoid being touched by others.

Hong Tao couldn't sleep at all. He has been traveling around for several years, and he has developed a new ability that is somewhat atavistic, intermittently sleeping in seconds.To put it bluntly, it is to sleep for dozens of seconds to wake up, and then continue, no matter day or night, as long as you are tired, you can rest like this.

At first, he wanted to avoid animals in the woods and sneak attackers everywhere. In desperation, he tied himself to a branch or hid himself in a building to rest. He definitely didn’t dare to sleep steadily. He often did this, as if his body gradually got used to it. .

Being swept across his face from time to time by the searchlight on the wooden tower diagonally opposite, Hong Tao simply didn't sleep, took out the package that Iszawi asked him to help take out of the checkpoint after getting the pass tomorrow from his arms, and opened it very unkindly.

"The No. [-] Pharmaceutical Factory of the East Asian Alliance, Antibiotic No. [-]..." The package was only half the size of a cigarette, sealed with several layers of plastic bags, and two flat cardboard boxes were exposed inside, with labels made of white paper on the boxes.

Hong Tao didn't know exactly what Antibiotic No. [-] was, and what diseases it could cure. He had never heard of the No. [-] pharmaceutical factory in the East Asian Union.However, he can imagine that the medical laboratory and pharmaceutical equipment that he advocated to build at the beginning have finally played a role, not only for pharmaceuticals but also for export.

"It's interesting!" Hong Tao was a little confused looking at the medicine box in his hand.

The pharmaceutical equipment of the East Asian Alliance is brought back by people. Not to mention the entire production line, it is better than the laboratory at best.Even if they added some more over the years, those things are precision instruments, and the longer they drag on, the harder it will be to restore them.

It has been three years since the zombie disease broke out when I suspended animation, that is to say, those devices have been stored in an unmaintained and unsealed environment for three years, if they can still be used, then hell.Coupled with the limitation of raw materials, the output of this drug can be imagined.

According to the general law, medicines that can cure diseases but are in small quantities will definitely not be cheap.The miners in Huocheng and the porters in Kuitun would definitely not be able to use them, nor would the poor and barely fed refugees, and it is estimated that the middle and lower classes of the Redeemer themselves could not afford them either.

So the question is, why are these medicines shipped out, and who will buy them when they are shipped out?Both Zhang Pinggui and Iszawi are businessmen, and it is impossible to get up early without making a profit.

That is to say, they spent a lot of money to get medicines in short supply from the Redeemer, and they used them to take them out. It was definitely not just to evade a few taxes. Someone had to pay a higher price to buy them to make sense.

Who this person is, I probably have a guess, except for the rebels, no one can afford it.But whether Zhang Pinggui and Iszawi are purely profit-seeking, or whether they have something to do with the rebels, it is still unclear.

In addition, through this meal, I probably understood why Zhang Pinggui ended the business in Kuitun, and rushed here to start a new one.The reason was nothing else, it was that I went to Kuitun to sell mutton recklessly, but I lost more than half of my card.

I may not have taken this matter to heart, but it has been widely circulated among the local refugees, saying that a stupid herdsman came and almost lost his pants.There were also the sentinels who ate Naka and the garrison who ate mutton. They said mutton was delicious.

Iszawi is Zhang Pinggui's tea supplier. He has great energy. Not only can he get the antibiotics that are in short supply from the main base, but he can also get tea from Sichuan.

A few days ago, Zhang Pinggui came to Iszawei to buy goods. He heard that the Penance Society needs better quality mutton, but he couldn't find it everywhere, so he thought of Hong Tao, a silly herdsman.

As for livestock such as chickens, cattle, sheep and horses also raised in the Redeemer base, why don't they eat what they raise themselves, instead of looking for herdsmen to graze?This has to start from the composition of the high-level Redeemer.

Hong Tao pretended to mention it inadvertently, and Iszawi, who had drunk two glasses of wine, gave a standard answer.The upper echelons of the Redeemer include not only Han Chinese, but also Russians, and those who want to eat pastured mutton are Russians.

They may not be used to eating sheep that rely on hay and artificial feeding. In the past, they tolerated it if the conditions were not allowed. Now that the conditions are good and they can enjoy it, it is human nature to be full of food.

Iszawi said that as long as this batch of mutton can be eaten by the senior executives of the Redeemer, he will need a few sheep every month in the future, and there will be no shortage of cheese.Hong Tao can do nothing, and earn a lot of money just relying on these.

The most important thing is not money, but the convenience obtained.If you really count it, you may make more money than selling meat, such as using a pass to carry goods.

The pass that Hong Tao got now is temporary, and he can only pass through fixed checkpoints within a fixed time with it.Once the redeemed recognize the quality of the mutton and become a long-term supplier, it is likely that a special pass will be issued by the penance.

That kind of certificate is valid for a long time, and all checkpoints are common. At that time, Hong Tao will be able to pass through the Redeemer's jurisdiction unimpeded. As long as there is no too suspicious sign, the checkpoint will usually not search for people holding a special pass for the Penance Order. .

Hong Tao originally wanted to ask what the Penance Society was. Considering that he asked too many questions during the first meeting, which would easily arouse suspicion, he didn't take the initiative to ask many questions during the meeting, and only listened with his ears.

It doesn't matter, as long as you want to know, you will know sooner or later, the future will last forever.Although the rules here are stricter than those in Kuitun, and the staff is complicated, Hong Tao thinks it is more interesting.
