Remember [Book♂fan÷lou→小&说#网] in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!

Cities in the wasteland are often very deserted, and even if there is a little lively movement, it is often the sound of guns and guns. Martial law, solemnity, and indifference, this is the monotonous perception of the world by survivors. And in the city of Merida, which is far away from the mainland of North America, and even far from the center of Mexico, the word blood is even added.

But today, this cognition has been broken.

Merida City is a satellite city established by the Enclave to alleviate the pressure on resources. To put it bluntly, the resources in one place are not enough, and everyone can only disperse and eat. But the Yucatan area where the city of Merida is located was originally desolate and undeveloped, except for some Mayan ruins, there is nothing.

There are half a million slave laborers gathered in the city of Merida. These people don't have much personal freedom. It's good to have enough food, and they don't have much consumption power. But there are still 30,000 to 50,000 "Enclave" colonial groups in the city. These people still have some spending power, and their desire to buy is extremely strong.

Some of the tens of thousands of tons of supplies shipped from Havana will be sold on the spot by the "Governor Alfonso" organization in Merida. After all, this place is still nominally the territory of the Mexican government. Zhou Qingfeng also needs the support and support of the local people.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't use any special marketing methods. His method was very simple. He found trucks to transport things from the port to various traffic intersections in the city, and hired some people to set up stalls for sale.

To be honest, when the boxes of goods were laid out, people in a hurry on the road didn't even dare to come and see them. Everyone should either go to work quickly, or go home quickly, and resolutely do not stay on the dangerous streets.

Zhou Qingfeng originally thought that as soon as the goods were on the market, the sales frenzy would be detonated, but the reality is that 'there is little traffic in front of the door'. He personally ran to a sales point, and saw two Mexicans in charge of sales standing beside the car in a daze!

Crazy....

You fucking yelling twice will kill you!

Yelling, but no one listened.

Well, not all Americans understand Spanish.

Zhou Qingfeng had no choice but to order someone to find a wooden board to write on it the words "sales of goods", and add the name and price of the goods. In the end, he had to find an interpreter. After all, the hired workers he hired were all Mexicans who didn't understand English.

In this way, someone finally looked at the sales cart on the side of the road and was curious. When they ran over to look at the goods, their eyes lit up, "Is this pickled whale meat? One dollar and two pounds? It looks good."

Food is always the most scarce material in the wasteland, especially the low temperature of the nuclear winter caused all agricultural products to fail, and a large number of livestock died. People don't miss an opportunity to stock up on food.

Cured whale meat retains most of the whale's fat, and the taste of this meat is not very good, and it is too oily. Before the cataclysm, no one ate this stuff at all, because the fat is too high and unhealthy. And now is there anything more tempting than a piece of fat? That must be two pieces of fat.

"How much fat do you have? I want all of it." The first customer became excited. There were several people in his family, including children, and he had to worry about food every day. But even the colonists of the 'Enclave' could only obtain food through rations.

Malnutrition is the enemy of all!

"I want it all, really! I want it all." The first customer waved his hands excitedly. He took out a few golden dollar gold coins from his pocket and demanded to buy all the whale meat.

The "Enclave" once tried to restore the supply of U.S. dollar banknotes, but the Brotherhood of Steel used fake banknotes to misuse them. Now everyone uses precious metal currencies to do business. And in terms of currency value, it is the same as the first "Aurora Legion" to restore the use of metal currency.

The translator, who was acting as a salesperson, accepted the gold coins that the other party took out, and ordered the Mexican employee: "Cut this gentleman twelve pounds of marinated whale meat."

The oilcloth on the wooden basket was lifted, and there were large pieces of meat inside. The first customer was stunned when he saw these pieces of meat. He thought he was just lucky to meet a black market dealer who sold a small amount of supplies.

But it now appears that this is a stall for public mass sales.

"You actually have so many goods?" The customer was full of surprise, which was incredible. Now the shops have long since disappeared, all the goods have been swept away, and the citizens often have little money and no place to spend it. Because everything is controlled and rationed by the bureaucracy.

Holding a large piece of greasy whale meat in his hand, the first customer who came here even became a little scared, "I will definitely be robbed if I am seen like this. God knows if someone will shoot me for this? For food Murders are nothing new."

"We can send you back." For the sake of the first customer, the interpreter used the walkie-talkie to call two guards from the Governor's Palace and sent the other party back home.

The happy scene of holding the piece of meat and returning home with a smile on his face has become the biggest advertisement at the point of sale. Anyone who sees it will rush to ask where the piece of meat comes from?

"Bought it?"

"A dollar and two pounds?"

"where?"

This time, there was no need for any publicity, as long as the people who heard the news rushed towards the truck at the point of sale almost with all their might. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people surrounded the delivery truck.

"Line up, don't crowd." The salesperson had to yell loudly. Fortunately, Zhou Qingfeng sent his own Governor's Palace guards to maintain order, so that the scene was chaotic and the goods were robbed.

In this winter, a long team appeared on the street, tens of meters long and hundreds of people, and people were still joining. Everyone tried their best to spend the money, regardless of the price of the goods, desperately buying and hoarding.

"Meat, I want meat, give me the biggest piece."

"Fat is best, I want fat."

"The meat is gone? What else do you have? Matches, soap? Well, both are fine, I want it."

The food on the truck was sold out in no time, and the salesperson had to shout that it would continue to be served tomorrow, but people didn't believe it. Some people even cried bitterly because they didn't get any meat, while more people tried their best to sweep up other goods.

In less than an hour, actually only half an hour, a truck full of goods was emptied and exchanged for a basket full of gold and silver coins. But the customers who want to buy still refuse to leave, and keep asking when is the next sale?

"Not today, please come back tomorrow. We will come again at eight o'clock tomorrow morning." The person in charge of the sales could hardly leave, and had to repeatedly advertise his identity and the status of the goods reserves, "We are a sales organization established by Governor Alfonso Team, the goods are still sufficient, don’t worry, don’t worry!”

In fact, no one felt at ease at all. Zhou Qingfeng organized twenty sales trucks and set up twenty sales outlets. As a result, in the early morning of the next day, thousands of people gathered at each sales outlet, and everyone stared at him. Eyes, waiting for the arrival of the sales truck in the howling wind.
