Chapter 695 The young widow who inherited her dead husband’s estate (45)
The young widow who inherited her dead husband's estate (Forty-five)
There was no rush to rent the land, so the two drove all the way to the city, only to find out how chaotic the outside world was because of the rapid revival of spiritual energy.
The first thing that caught their eyes was the city's greening. When they parked the car, they discovered that many places where a tree should have been planted had large holes dug out. It was obvious that the plants had changed and there was no time to replace them with new ones.
In some places, a whole row was dug out, with messy piles of dirt around them.
Song Ning and Lance walked around these places and then found a black shadow rushing past their feet.
Song Ning:?
What passed?
Lance saw it clearly, "It's a rat, just a little big."
Song Ning was stunned. The thing that just jumped over was the size of an adult cat, and you told me it was a mouse?
Lance pulled him towards him, "It's indeed a mouse, look over there?"
There were three or four people in uniform in the direction he pointed, and they looked like... urban management officers?
"It should be a combination of the old and the new. The one on the left is a capable person. They are catching mice. Look at the car next to them."
After he said that, Song Ning noticed that there was a car next to them, which was filled with cages filled with rats.
"This, this much..."
Song Ning felt a little scalp-tingling. It’s not that he had never seen mice before, but he had never seen so many and such big mice!
"But it seems that their work efficiency is quite good, and everyone is very receptive."
Lance observed carefully and the pedestrians on both sides didn't seem to find the scene strange at all. There was even an old man arguing with the urban management staff. It seemed that there were a lot of rats near his home and he wanted to call someone to deal with it.
"Don't worry, sir. We will catch them one area at a time so as not to cause any confusion. We will do a double round and will definitely catch them all. Don't worry."
Song Ning pulled Lance's arm and said, "Did you hear that? It seems that the policy from above is indeed very thoughtful."
Lance nodded, "And it was fast, and the execution was strong, too."
These tasks do not seem to be easy. Not only do they have to be captured, but they also have to be sent to designated places for processing. It is estimated that the viruses carried by these rats may pose a greater threat after the revival of spiritual energy.
However, at present, although there are many more potholes on the streets, overall, life seems to be not much different from before.
The two of them turned around a few more times before realizing that there was still some slight impact.
The biggest impact is on the prices of some items, especially food.
They went to the farmers' market to take a look, and soon Song Ning saw a lot of people crowding in front of several stalls. He stuck his head in to take a look and recognized that the vegetables sold here were of relatively good quality.
"Brother, look over there."
Song Ning subconsciously grabbed Lance's hand.
"Hmm? Let me see something."
Lance easily clasped his fingers in his palm and walked over there. The person next to him turned around and wanted to scold him, but after seeing Lance's face clearly, he inexplicably blushed and moved away a little.
"Well, you go first."
Song Ning's hand, which had just tried to break free, suddenly stopped moving. He followed Lance without saying a word.
The person who had just given way saw him, looked at the two people holding hands, and had a look of regret on his face.
This time Song Ning simply held it a little tighter. Lance didn't look back but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Thanks to Lance's tall stature and beauty, they arrived at the vegetable stall quite smoothly.
Song Ning could tell at a glance that the vegetables sold at this stall were not as good as those he grew, but to be honest, the quality was still pretty good, about 70% to 80%.
Lance also noticed it. He turned his head to look at him without saying anything, but his eyes said it all.
"Would you like to buy some? This is good stuff, of very good quality."
The vegetable seller obviously knew that his vegetables were good. When he saw that Lance and Song Ning looked like rich people, he quickly started to sell them.
The people around him were a little dissatisfied with his expression, but the boss pretended not to hear them.
Song Ning is looking at Lance. Do you want to buy some to compare?
Lance shook his head gently, "No, we just came here to join in the fun. Sorry to bother you all."
He took Song Ning back from the crowd, ignoring the boss's suddenly ugly expression.
"Brother, why don't you buy it and try it out? What if it can be a good substitute?"
To be honest, Song Ning was a little tempted, as their food was almost finished.
"It's a little bit worse, and it can't be equalized."
Lance was a little helpless. "Didn't you notice? There's a sign next to him asking for twenty-five per pound."
But maybe Song Ning really didn't see it, because the sign was a little crooked and the words were not big.
Song Ning frowned when he heard this, "This quality is priced at twenty-five yuan per pound? This is money grabbing."
If the quality is really good, twenty-five is not a bad price.
But when he looked at the vegetables just now, he didn't feel that they were taken care of particularly well. Although the quality was okay, that quality seemed to be due to the absorption of spiritual energy. The vegetables themselves were not of very high quality. Some of the vegetables still had worm holes on them, and it was obvious that the person who grew the vegetables didn't take them seriously at all.
"How can they really sell it at such a high price? The cabbages we sell at 18 yuan are all rotten ones. Those with worm holes are not sold to others and are thrown away to feed chickens and ducks."
Song Ning would sometimes see the big geese at home coming over to add a little to the meal, helping to eat some insects, and sometimes taking away a few rotten leaves. Anyway, they looked sensible.
That's why he reacted so strongly when Dong Dafu said he wanted to kill the goose.
"It is estimated that the regulatory authorities have not had time to manage it yet. Someone will probably take action to control the market price later."
Just look at Dong Dafu and you will know that the authorities are not indifferent, they are just very busy.
"And if someone reports it, they will probably be arrested immediately."
As Lance finished his words, he saw a familiar uniform appear, a man and a woman hurriedly heading towards the farmer's market.
Song Ning:?
He glanced at Lance, his face innocent.
"Brother, do you really not have any innate ability to be a prophet?"
As soon as he said someone was in charge, he saw someone coming.
Lance didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "That's really not the case."
He glanced at the two figures and guessed, "Maybe someone reported him. Twenty-five is a bit expensive. Times are different now. If you want to report someone, you can just @ the official account and catch them in the act."
As they were talking, they went back to take a look, and sure enough, they saw that the stall owner who had been so arrogant had been detained along with his vegetables.
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
It seems they were right.
