Chapter Eleven

  Zuǒ Xiǎo Lóng said to Dà Shuài: Let's go eat.

  Two people drove through the most bustling area, and the scenery became desolate and dilapidated kilometer by kilometer. All the farmers' houses in this place were rented out to migrant workers, with one room costing 100 yuan, and a house could generate an additional income of 10,000 yuan per year. As a result, the local people's resentment towards unemployment gradually subsided because they benefited from it, although it meant living with dozens of strangers in one house, while the owner and all their belongings were squeezed into one room.

  At first, when the "economic opera" was performed here, everyone was very happy, thinking they could have a decent job. However, due to poor performance, all the businesses that came were heavily polluting chemical enterprises discarded by other places. But the locals thought, never mind, pollution is pollution, decent jobs are gone, but others have to spend money on drugs, while we can get them for free here.

  Although our home was polluted, what was polluted was our river and air? The river will eventually flow elsewhere, and the air will be blown away by the Pacific wind, but the money stayed.

  After the chemical plant was opened, the environment here indeed had problems. The river flowed away, but the species mutated. People were shocked to discover that the crayfish here grew three times larger than ordinary crayfish. They were terrified, but the wisdom of the working people was quickly put into play: "Isn't this just like the Australian giant crayfish?" Later, after consulting with villagers who had seen the world, they reflected that it would be difficult to pass off as an Australian giant crayfish for now, and estimated that it would take another five years of pollution. But never mind, Australia also has small green dragons, so let's just pretend this is an Australian small green dragon and sell it on the market.

  But the road to counterfeit is long and arduous. Soon, people found that Australian little green lobsters are green, but Tinglein variant lobsters are red. Helplessly, those who caught this kind of lobster unanimously declared to outsiders that they were indeed Guinean giant prawns. The reason for choosing Guinea was that the fishermen had to choose a country and flip through the materials, and Guinea ranked first because it had the fewest strokes in its first character.

  Certainly, the Guinea shrimp is a thing of these days. Bruce Lee is also one of the few young people who stay here. The local people's work dream has not been realized for a year, and a large number of migrant workers have found their way here. They are more capable of enduring hardships, more tolerant of labor, and more prone to drug addiction than locals, and they only ask for half as much salary. Soon, the locals lost their jobs one after another.

  Their anger had not yet been vented when other local industries emerged, namely the service industry catering to migrant workers. Faced with the sudden influx of tens of thousands of people, after several thousand locals left, those who remained suddenly realized that they could make money from these migrant workers. The elderly could rent out their houses, and young people began opening various shops to meet the daily needs of these people.
