Chapter 1311

A city in Guangdong Province.

The climate in the south in mid-March is warm. Although it is evening now, for people living here, this time is a good time to go out. The temperature is suitable, so it is very suitable for shopping, eating, walking and chatting.

However, the street has gradually become deserted in recent days, and today is even more extreme. Seventy percent of the shops on the street are closed.

Not only are most of the shops closed, but there are also fewer pedestrians walking on the street. Occasionally, the pace of passers-by is very fast, and it seems that people are deliberately keeping a little distance between them.

Many people wear masks, but mostly cheap disposable masks and the cotton surgical masks popular in the last century, people hope that these masks will help them protect themselves from the infectious virus that is spreading outside, but they don't know it. This kind of mask is actually useless against viruses.

However, even such masks are sold out.

On the side of the cold street, there was only one pharmacy that had a very good business, and there was a long line at the door. However, although this long line was long, the density was not high. Everyone automatically kept a certain distance from the people who lined up in front and behind. There is a huge red poster on the door, which reads: The latest arrival of Banlangen, only 120 yuan per bag, the quantity is limited, welcome to snap up!

The crowds in line are all heading for Banlangen.

Originally, everyone wanted to rush in to snap up the purchases, but two shop assistants wearing masks kept blocking them and made them line up.

Similar situations are not uncommon in Guangdong Province, neighboring provinces, and even all over the country. People know that the virus is coming, and they are all worried. The only thing that can give them a sense of security now is those rumors that can resist the virus. If you get the things you want, your heart will be more relaxed, but if you can't get them, your heart will always hang in the air.

A middle-aged woman walked out of the pharmacy, holding a pack of Banlangen in her hand, both happy and distressed.

I am happy because this granule is said to be able to prevent that kind of infectious disease, but what I feel distressed is that this product is more than 20 times more expensive than the usual price. In the past, such a large pack was only sold for five yuan. Now it costs 120. If you don’t bargain, don’t say anything, and don’t buy too much. Each person is only allowed to buy one box.

Her luck is not bad, she is ranked first, no matter what, she has already bought a box, and she feels relieved. There are 25 small packets in a large packet of Banlangen. She is thinking that she, her husband, and children will have a packet every day. , it is only enough for eight days, and I still have to find a way to buy more.

At this time, people who were still queuing outside saw her coming out with Banlangen, and asked her from a long distance, "Excuse me, do you have a lot of stock in this store?"

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "I don't know too well, but it seems that there are not many from them, so each person is only allowed to buy one bag, and they have to check their ID cards."

"What? Need to see the ID card?" The woman who asked her suddenly became anxious, and many people in the queue also stamped anxiously: "I don't have an ID card, what should I do?"

The middle-aged woman hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, if you don't bring your ID card, just leave an ID number, and they need to register."

The others finally breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the banlangen in this store, who would risk queuing up on the street? If they couldn't buy it, they would really cry.

The entire Guangdong Province has long been caught in this kind of panic.

Before today, there have been various rumors about SARS in Guangdong Province. After numerous transfers and reprocessing, the rumors have spread a bit evil and have always made people panic. Today, things seem to be It has risen to a new level, because YY released a big news today, making everyone realize that the epidemic is coming, and it is fierce. Even HO has issued a global warning. This is the World Health Organization. Chinese people have always There is an inexplicable sense of authority over the organization headed by "world".

Therefore, today, the rush to buy related materials in Guangdong Province has become more ferocious, and the prices of stores have also increased inhumanely.

Today it's straight up to one hundred and two.

A middle-aged man in the team said that one hundred and twenty is not bad. He lives in the next door a few kilometers away. I could only ride a motorcycle here to try my luck, but I didn't expect the goods to be available here, and the price of 120 yuan is quite reasonable.

Too.

When other people heard this, they felt a lot of relief. A bowl of rice is not worth three to five cents, but when they are about to starve to death, they don’t feel bad after eating three to five hundred cents. Commodities are such a rule. If you don’t lack it, you won’t buy it for a dime a ton. When everyone lacks it, you still have to queue up to give it away for a dollar a gram.

After the first middle-aged woman who bought Banlangen came out, two more people came out with a large pack of Banlangen. The crowd asked the same question again and got the same answer.

The middle-aged man riding a motorcycle sighed again: "Oh, this store is really conscientious. It's much better than those pharmacies in our area. The pharmacy over there can't wait to sell out and collect money to close, so someone It costs more than ten or twenty packs at a time, and they still sell it, but no one else can buy it! The queue is also in vain, and I am so angry that my wife is like that. I heard that there is a pharmacy that has Banlangen. I went to line up early in the morning, and after waiting for more than an hour, she was almost in line, but one guy filled up the remaining thirty or so packs in one go! She didn’t even buy a small pack, really You are so mad!"

When he said that, everyone around him nodded.

An old man sighed: "In these days, there are too many profiteers and too few honest businessmen. At this time, it is really rare to see stores that can sell in limited quantities and limit the purchase of one pack per person, and their prices are cheap, only 120 yuan." , is indeed very conscientious.”

"Hey!" A woman sighed: "Everything is going up in price now. Masks usually cost ten cents apiece, but now they all sell for one yuan or two more. The 84 disinfectant is even more terrible, and it's out of stock. I wanted to buy some. 84 to disinfect the house, but I couldn’t buy it anywhere, so I could only buy two bottles of white vinegar, which is expensive! Two bottles of white vinegar cost me one hundred and one!”

"Don't mention white vinegar, our house is the same, boil white vinegar in a kettle, the smell of vinegar in the whole room! It smells like vomiting!"

An aunt hurriedly said: "Oh my sister, you don't understand. White vinegar kills germs by the smell of vinegar. If you breathe in the water vapor boiled by white vinegar, all the germs in your body will be killed!"

"Is it so amazing?" Someone was obviously skeptical and said, "If it is said that 84 can disinfect, I will definitely admit it. After all, it is a serious disinfectant, but this white vinegar...it is food seasoning! If it can Sterilization, why not soy sauce?"

"You don't understand now!" The aunt said solemnly: "The couple downstairs in my family are both doctors. They said that there is acetic acid in vinegar, which can really sterilize bacteria. You eat fried rice outside. For rice noodles, some sophisticated shopkeepers put their chopsticks in vinegar to sterilize them, but vinegar is too expensive now, so no one does it anymore.”

"Oh..." The person who was a little skeptical nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing. I remembered it when you said that."

Just at this moment, a roar came from the store: "My mother Throwing Lei, I want to buy more if I have money. Why don't you sell it? I'll lose it!"

The female shop assistant tried her best to explain something, but her voice was too low to be heard clearly from outside.

Bang!

Something was broken in the pharmacy, and the roar in the store came out again: "Isn't it just money? I have plenty of money. Is it okay if I give you more money? How many banlangens do you have here? One hundred and fifty packs I will give you all." Bought it!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an explosion outside.

A person with a bad temper yelled: "Hey, how rich is it? Everyone is waiting in line, why do you buy them all? Besides, it's too immoral for a person like you to drive up the price!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a fleshy face came out of the pharmacy, took out a stack of hundred yuan cash from the purse under his arm, and said to the man, "Is it illegal to buy things? I'm fucking rich." , you can control? I don't steal, I don't grab, I don't cheat, I buy things with cash, why are you yelling at me? You say I'm driving up the price? Please don't be so self-righteous, I'm here to cover everything Yep, I’m still raising a chicken feather! Hurry up and leave, I want all the isatid roots here today.”

After all, the middle-aged man turned around and slapped a stack of banknotes on the cashier counter, and shouted loudly: "This is 20,000 yuan. How much stock do you have in your store? Give it to me. If there is not enough money, I will give it to you now." Just call someone to send it over, my family has a big business, and there are many relatives in the family, so buy it back and drink it as tea!"

"you……"

"This……"

Not only the clamoring person outside was stunned, but even the cashier girl was also stunned.

Although this guy is arrogant, he is not wrong. He has money and he is willing to pay a high price. Who can stop him? When the police came, he was still justified. Besides, most of the people in the line were women, and only a few men. The man who was yelling at him didn't dare to continue the argument with him. Well, he definitely won't be able to take advantage of anything. Besides, this man really looks like a local tyrant, and most people probably won't be able to provoke him.

Therefore, everyone's hope can only be pinned on the salesperson.

They hope that the salesperson can maintain the integrity of their store, and they have agreed to limit the purchase of one pack per person, which means that one person can only purchase one pack per person. If they agree to 120, it is 120.

However, the salesperson was a little dumbfounded at this time, and she said submissively, "Brother, I have to ask our boss for instructions..."

The flesh-faced man nodded immediately, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Please hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

At this time, several women outside suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly said: "Little girl, isn't it too much for you to increase the price so suddenly?"

The girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you have also seen that we are not going to raise the price temporarily, but this customer wants to increase the price to buy..."

"That's not okay!" The woman was unhappy, and said, "If you do this, what will we people who have been queuing for a long time do?"

The girl said very politely: "After all, we are in business. We took such a big risk to open the business because we wanted to make more money. Please understand."

Well-founded and reasonable, this kind of polite refusal makes others feel as if they have punched cotton, which is more depressing than hitting iron...
