章 7: Peddling
Looking at the stall owner whose expression changed instantly, Zhou Yuanqiang was not angry. From his observation, it was not so easy to make a deal here. Besides, isn't it a habit of human beings to look down on others? Not to mention the end of the world, it is even stronger in modern times.
Zhou Yuanqiang walked around behind the stall owner and said in a low voice: "Hey, boss, this is not how you do business. I don't have crystal gold, and I don't even have food. But it doesn't mean I don't have good stuff. As the saying goes, if you don't have three-thirds, you dare not go to Liangshan..."
The stall owner's two small eyes burst into a gleam when he heard Zhou Yuanqiang's words, and his face was full of smiles again. He said: "Brother, I knew you were not an ordinary person when I saw you. Just treat what you said just now as a fart. It will pass with a sound. Don't bother with me, a rough man." He also lowered his voice and said: "Brother, what good stuff do you have? Take it out and have a look... Hey, this broken place is prosperous, but many things are missing."
Zhou Yuanqiang was not polite. He took out a can of beef from the sack, shook it, and said: "This thing, is it scarce enough?"
As early as the first time he came to the end of the world to trade, Zhou Yuanqiang noticed some details, such as the trademark and production date of the can. For this reason, Zhou Yuanqiang went to a local canning factory that produces canned beef and specially ordered canned beef without trademarks and production dates to ensure that there would be no flaws on the cans.
The stall owner looked at the canned beef made of all aluminum skin. Although he knew it was canned, he was confused and could only look at Zhou Yuanqiang helplessly.
Zhou Yuanqiang was not polite. He pulled the stall owner to squat down to reduce the risk of being seen clearly. He directly opened the canned beef and said, "This is authentic canned beef. If you don't believe it, you can try it." For the scarce meat food in the end times, its value is very high. But in Zhou Yuanqiang's eyes, no matter how high the value is, isn't it still ten yuan a can? Large-scale wholesale, the price can be discounted.
In fact, Zhou Yuanqiang was helpless. Looking at the streets, everyone was carrying weapons and looked fierce. They were likely to take action if something went wrong. In such an environment, Zhou Yuanqiang didn't even have a gun. Wouldn't he be eaten by others until there was nothing left? Therefore, Zhou Yuanqiang had no choice but to arm himself before selling. At least he wouldn't be so embarrassed by three zombies like in the morning, right?
For people who haven't smelled the aroma of meat for a long time, the strong aroma of beef cans completely conquered this seemingly shrewd stall owner.
Humans are born to fight for food. So the smoothness of the following things was far beyond Zhou Yuanqiang's imagination. For ten cans of beef cans, the stall owner didn't care about anything else. For fear that Zhou Yuanqiang would regret it, he directly rolled up the beef cans with the rags he used to set up the stall, threw the Type 95 to Zhou Yuanqiang, and left without doing business.
The other party's reaction surprised Zhou Yuanqiang. Originally, he thought that if he wanted to get this Type 95, he would need at least 15 cans.
Compared with Zhou Yuanqiang, who thought he had made a bargain, the stall owner smiled secretly and left quickly. "With these canned beef, I still don't believe that I can't get old man Zhao to talk. As long as old man Zhao lets go, how many new weapons will it be easy? This deal is worth it!" The stall owner was getting happier and happier. He couldn't help but look back at Zhou Yuanqiang and muttered, "Really... really a fool!"
Zhou Yuanqiang laughed at himself. He still underestimated the temptation of meat in the end times. However, feeling the new 95-style rifle in his hand, he immediately became excited. Living in a peaceful modern world, and in China where weapons are highly controlled, where can I have the opportunity to touch a gun? I'm afraid it's extremely difficult to even see real guns and live ammunition.
Foolishly stroking the 95-style rifle in his hand for a while, Zhou Yuanqiang seemed to remember something. He fumbled around for a while and finally removed the magazine. But Zhou Yuanqiang was immediately dumbfounded. Where could he find a shadow of a bullet in it?
"Hey, hey, you... you stop right there!" The stall owner who had already gone far away heard Zhou Yuanqiang's shouting and ran faster, disappearing in the crowd in a moment. "Damn, there are no bullets, and you still want a gun? Curse the bastard next door!" Zhou Yuanqiang cursed in frustration, and cursed all the other party's ancestors, and finally had to bow his head in front of reality. Speaking of bullets, Zhou Yuanqiang just remembered that in the whole town market, it seems... it seems that no one has seen selling bullets? After asking a few people shamelessly, Zhou Yuanqiang finally learned all kinds of information about weapons in the whole town. The superiors in the wasteland settlement are not stupid.
They control the arsenal and the planting land of the entire settlement. It can be said that they have firmly controlled the entire settlement. It is legal to possess weapons in the settlement, and you can freely sell all kinds of weapons as long as you can get them. But there is only one rule, which is to prohibit all trading activities related to bullets, ammunition, artillery shells, gunpowder, etc. Once discovered, the end is to be killed directly.
Now Zhou Yuanqiang understands why there are shops and vendors selling weapons everywhere, and the superiors who control the arsenal can tolerate it. The reason is bullets.
It's like if you buy a house, you can't not decorate and buy furniture, right? They don't restrict weapons, but restrict bullets and ammunition. You can buy guns from private individuals or stores, but bullets must be purchased at the designated arsenal sales office in the wasteland settlement. Bullets obtained from other places are all against regulations and will be hit by strong force in the wasteland settlement.
From the mouths of several people, Zhou Yuanqiang learned that when this mandatory overlord regulation was implemented, the superiors in the wasteland settlement commanded the troops to massacre for a while, and countless people died in this private production and private trading of ammunition. It is this unreasonable and bloody suppression that has led to the situation that no one dares to commit crimes today, and it also allows the superiors to firmly control the entire desert settlement.
"Awesome!"
Zhou Yuan sighed and figured it out. Anyway, the purpose of buying a gun is just to pretend. It doesn't matter whether there are bullets or not. He put the gun on his back, picked up the sack, and took the opportunity to reach into the bag to take out the canned food in the storage space, put it in the bag, and started his low-key selling operation.
