On forums, toilet paper and sanitary napkins have long been the kind of hard currency worth bringing to the table to negotiate terms.
Are the values of these two things really high? No;
Can people do without them? They certainly can.
It neither holds value nor is it a necessity, but it can be exchanged for scarce and critical materials such as water, food, and seeds in private. It can be seen that to a certain extent, the butt can really determine the head.
One of the most common sayings Li Cang sees on the forum is this:
"Toilet paper is the last dignity and bottom line for human beings."
彳庍口巴...
When Lao Wang bought these things, he also had a bunch of jujubes, but the amount could basically be described as the standard for the last purchase before the outbreak of the biochemical crisis. Unexpectedly, it suddenly became a hoard.
"In ancient times, wouldn't this be a serious crime of decapitation? By the way, we can all make a fortune from this thing in the future..."
but...
After all, the two empty islands just passed each other.
No matter how strong a man is, the chain crossbow cannot hold 3 loads of toilet paper. It is too bulky.
Li Cang unpacked the package again,
"This definitely won't work. It won't shoot far."
After several test firings, the size of the package was reduced several times. Finally, Li Cang felt that there was basically no problem, so he notified Zhao Ziliang.
[Cang: It’s ready. The three chain crossbows are all hung with goods. How many hits you can get depends on your luck.]
[Zhao Ziliang: I’m so grateful to Brother Li Cang! 】
At this time, Zhao Ziliang's floating island was very close to Li Cang. Without a telescope, he could see five people standing on the edge of the two connected islands running in parallel.
[Cang: Get ready, let the people on your side stay away to avoid being accidentally injured]
Brother Big Corpse is rubbing the winch, Lao Wang is holding the packed items high, and Li Cang is controlling the crossbow.
"Whoosh~"
The crossbow arrow was pulled by the resistance of the oversized package, and it was obviously tilted abnormally for a certain distance at first. However, the strong force worked wonders, and soon it became a state similar to a "parachute", and it basically hit Zhao Xiaoliang flatly. On the edge of the floating island, the sickle hook did not pop out.
Zhao Ziliang roared,
"Brother Li Cang is awesome!"
His excitement can be felt from a distance of more than a hundred meters.
[Cang: Dodge first, get them all over and then tie them up. I’ll aim at the ones that take time]
There was a mistake in the middle, but fortunately the last three packages were all delivered without incident.
Zhao Shuliang directed the four people around him to unpack the package hurriedly, and then tied the things they had prepared in advance to the crossbow arrows tightly.
The chain was almost pulled straight, and the three arrows were barely able to be thrown off the island.
[Zhao Ziliang: Huh, it’s so dangerous. Brother Li Cang, your chain crossbow is too powerful. It’s as powerful as your archery skills. I admire you. I usually don’t like this crossbow with such accuracy.]
[Zhao Ziliang: The road ahead is long and the future is long. Brother Li Cang, the contents of that gray cloth bag should be regarded as my little thoughts. Next time we have a chance to meet, I will definitely thank you in person to show my sincerity]
[Cang: Brother Zhao, you’re welcome, everyone gets what they need, everyone gets what they need]
The chain was retracted little by little, and the heavy package hanging on it was also pulled up.
The first black cloth package is full. The first thing that catches the eye is several old-fashioned 12V charging cables with AC interfaces that Li Cang needs, several dry batteries with complete models, and a beehive...
Yes, that’s right, a barrel-shaped beehive wrapped in three layers of plastic.
Li Cang knew what it was, but Lao Wang didn't. As soon as the plastic sheet was lifted, the little thing inside went crazy on the spot.
"Which kind of gods do you know, Zancao? Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts..."
Then there are things that Zhao Zhiliang believes can offset the value of the corresponding materials:
A large pack of masks, two raincoats, three large boxes of VC effervescent tablets, a rechargeable ultraviolet disinfection lamp, gauze, and even two chemical protective suits and two sets of industrial-grade gas masks.
There is no doubt that the value of these things alone far exceeds what Li Cang paid.
However, everyone gets what they need!
When the second gray cloth package was opened, Li Cang was shocked.
Inside were two large packages of vacuum-sealed beef, M4~5, fully stamped, cold to the touch and not completely defrosted.
The whole piece is an uncut bone-in rib eye, also known as tomahawk steak. Li Cang counted only 6 ribs, which is very particular and authentic.
As for the other piece...
Well, it’s still rib eye.
It’s just that this one is called Ribeye Cap Steak, commonly known as rib eye cap, cap meat, or gourmet steak.
"...Anything else?"
Then he took out two squashed 1-gallon pots of thyme and rosemary, two bottles of olive oil, sea salt and black pepper with their own grinding ports...
This time it's really gone.
Lao Wang is completely crazy,
"I#@!%&..."
"Is this a job that humans can do?"
"Teacher Cang, please don't stop me. I can't stand it anymore. Let me chop this thief to death!!"
The muscles on Li Cang's face were twitching——
You can't stand it?
what about me?
And me?
Woolen cloth?
?
It’s just that each one is more outrageous than the other!
Can this world get any better?
The life you live together is called life, so I can only call it Minato and alive...
Li Cang sighed with grief and anger.
[Cang: The boss is grand, the boss will give birth to a son early, and someone will pass the paper to the boss when he goes to the toilet]
[Zhao Ziliang: hhh, surprise or no surprise, surprise or no surprise? 】
[Cang: People are so irritating when compared to others, everything is done for the sake of meat]
[Zhao Ziliang: As I said, my villa is basically intact. Especially after the hospital last time, my luck suddenly improved. I met some good friends recently...]
[Drinking and losing a shoe: What happened? Something is wrong with you]
[Cang: Brother Zhao, there is a very strange chain of black mist islands in the direction you are facing from behind. I suspect it is spraying floating islands to attack survivors in a targeted manner. There are zombies, so be careful]
[Cang: Also, the smelly black substance on the island is very valuable]
[Zhao Ziliang: Thank you! ! 】
Lao Wang looked at the meat with saliva. He didn't know whether he was impressed by the meat or by Zhao Ziliang's boldness.
"This guy is also a decent guy. The only drawback is that he doesn't have a wife, but I'm still happy to make him my friend."
Li Cang:...
It's better than a bad thing. Co-authoring is a combination of love and dedication poured into the bones?
I chatted casually with Zhao Zhiliang and Cao Haicen for a few words, and took a look at Qiao Shasha's group. After so many days, there was no one in there who spoke, which was a bit strange.
Li Cang suddenly raised his head and looked at Lao Wang,
"I'll move the beehive to your side later and find a cool place among the torreya trees."
Lao Wang was stunned,
"No, how do you move this thing without stinging someone to death?"
Li Cang said expressionlessly,
"You should have thought about this carefully when you took it apart."
The bees had already swarmed, and for a while no one really dared to move them.
Lao Wang squatted from a distance,
"Your food reserve hasn't been living well these past two days. It keeps wandering around my island. I'm wondering if it wants me to... bah... let the little chicken behind my house step on an egg for it. Ah, what are you doing, I’m still a minor!”
"Isolate!" Li Cang said, "It's just a single seedling. We can't let the reserve grain harm it."
"Not only that, I have more than a dozen old hens waiting eagerly."
