Chapter 077
After school the next day, a group of high school students who attended the study meeting arrived at Ivan's rental house again by car.
As soon as Alvin took out the key and opened the door, Aurora couldn't wait to throw her schoolbag inside, then pulled Xueli and waited for the girls to lie on the iron door on the left to listen to the sound.
After listening for a long time, he found that there was no movement inside, and Aurora couldn't help but start muttering.
"The little girl in the room seems to be not here today? You said... nothing will happen, right?"
"It's hard to say, after all, judging from yesterday's situation, that child is likely to be in trouble."
Sydney was also a little worried, and then subconsciously looked at Alvin.
"That... do we want to call the police?"
"It's better to wait first."
Naturally, Alvin could not agree to Xiaolu's proposal, otherwise the archbishop who was entrusting his relationship with him should go crazy, so he decisively dissuaded.
"After all, they may have just gone out or been taken back by other relatives. We don't know anything about it. How do we tell the police after calling the police?"
“Yes…”
Sydney thought about it and felt that it made sense, but the girls led by Aurora still seemed a little worried.
However, the same thing is true. They all have to rely on their families to live by paying money, and they really don’t have the ability to do anything.
So after a while of discussion, a group of people finally had to suppress their worries and start preparing supper.
That's right, today a group of people plan to cook their own meals.
Originally, the cause of this proposal was to have an excuse to bring the little girl to eat with you, or give her one, which was to say that she had done too much and take care of the child's possible self-esteem.
Although it seems that the owner is not here at the moment, I have bought all the dishes and can't do it if I don't cook them, so...
Alvin took out the apron around his waist and went online.
The reason why he cooks is not because it is his house, but because he can cook among the people.
The five girls are all baby little princesses from rich families. In the true sense, they don’t touch the spring water. The next time the kitchen is, they may have to be renovated, so the main players in cooking are Evan and Carl.
After all, Alvin has been out alone for many years and has a good cooking ability. Even when he went to another world, many things have changed, but they will never leave their roots. After two years of adaptation, at least it is fine to cook a home-cooked dish.
Although Carl's level is a little worse, he is just a stew-up player, but he can help Alvin.
Bella and Sydney two girls who had done some housework together to pick and wash vegetables. They worked hard for an hour. At 7:23, the seven people finally had supper.
Well, everyone eats very deliciously because they are really hungry!
Although snacks can also be at the bottom, a bunch of candies, by chance, can’t be used as a meal. After all, Ming Qianhui, who already had a history of hypoglycemia, was almost hungry.
After a storm, Katie, Ming Qianhui and Aurora, who had not done anything before, were responsible for washing dishes, while the remaining few people were lying on the floor where the ground was already supplying heat.
Originally, a group of people were talking about the little girl, but as they were talking, Carl suddenly mentioned a new topic.
"By the way, why do I feel that the vegetables in supermarkets have become more and more expensive recently, and the water melons have increased a lot. Today, I actually spent nearly two hundred on ordering dishes? This is simply a robbery!"
Alvin, the only one who could respond to this topic, thought about it and agreed.
"Indeed, a month ago, the round vegetables were only two yuan per pound. When I was choosing the vegetables today, it had already increased to more than five yuan."
Moreover, not only vegetables, fruits, grains, rice, flour and oil have also seen a slight increase in prices.
Although the increase is not large, this is also the first time in more than a decade that the price fluctuates in basic living supplies have occurred in the United States.
As for some imported goods, not to mention whether the price increases or not, most of them are gone even the shelves.
There is no way, the economies of various countries have been severely affected by the mutated monster incidents, and the problem was subsequently transported by sea, which has not been effectively resolved so far.
The United States of Inuit is actually a little better.
After all, with the Gur River for billions of years, the entire Hanoi region is a super fertile plain. In addition, Hedong and Hexi regions have not been poor in production capacity. They even export 30% of their grain production capacity to the outside world every year, so no matter how they are, they will not be enough to eat.
However, some countries with insufficient domestic grain production capacity have really begun to cause food shortages and grain prices have begun to rise wildly.
Of course, this topic was over with a group of students talking about it, and at most it was complaining that there was not enough pocket money for Balabala, but Alvin was secretly concerned.
The stable supply of daily necessities is one of the important basic conditions for maintaining social order stability.
On the other hand, once the supply of food is insufficient, chaos will occur, and at that time, whoever holds the food will have the right to speak.
After all, people can live without buying high-end branded bags, but they will definitely die if they don’t eat for five or six days.
So he planned to let the psychic church use its own channels to start stockpiling basic living supplies and storage-resistant emergency food.
On the one hand, it is to prevent the sudden global outbreak of fog, and human society is instantly in chaos and cannot guarantee production, so there will be no emergency reserves.
Anyway, this doesn't cost much, and although the system can't bring live things, there is no limit on dead things. Just find an open space with thin power of death in the Orda plane, build a factory, and then make waterproof, so as to put down a lot of oil, salt, flour, compressed biscuits and cans.
On the other hand, these basic materials can also be supported to the skeleton mage Jeliff, making its pioneering operations in the war-torn areas of the Nolay continent smoother.
After all, the terrain there is mainly a large number of barren mountainous lands, and it does not produce much food. In addition, the wars are said to have nearly 20% of the food gaps in the western countries rely on external imports, and some are entrenched in barren mountainous areas. I don’t know whether it is called a small country or an organization that is powerful, but they rely entirely on "resources for rations" or "international humanitarian relief".
If there is a problem with shipping, they will definitely feel extremely uncomfortable now. With food, they will definitely develop easily. They may even find a way to strengthen this line of transportation to a sufficient size, and may even use this to grasp the lifeline of Western countries.
This is not an exaggeration.
The food of Western countries is really inseparable from sea transportation, because land transportation needs to face the Alta Desert that isolates the western and central regions of the Nore Continent. Not to mention the actual capacity of those transportation routes that can cross the desert, the cost alone will be quite terrifying.
Although according to Jeliff's current observation, although prices in the western countries are growing strongly, there is no sign of food shortage yet, but the actual productivity is there, and the sea transportation cannot be opened, and something will happen sooner or later.
Of course, this is just a speculation made by Alvin and the Skeleton Mage through limited intelligence, and there is definitely a possibility of mistakes.
But even if the analysis is wrong, it doesn’t matter. At worst, just keep things in custody.
Although someone lives poor in daily life, that is because he is cautious and afraid that some people with intentions will find abnormalities.
If we really count the current family of the Spiritual Church and the amount of gold that Alvin actually has, we really don’t care about spending 100 million or 200 million to try it out.
At worst, I can change the warehouse into a private supermarket. In the future, someone will take all the daily necessities in the Orda plane. It just saves you from picking up those discarded second-hand goods in the future...
