"What's wrong? Isn't it Qin Bai?"

Seeing Qiao Lianyi return alone, Lin Qin asked in surprise.

"No, he called a errand boy."

Qiao Lianyi's expression was somewhat complicated.

"They still offer delivery services? Never mind, I'm starving, I need to eat instant noodles! Oh right, I can't leave the pickled cabbage packet in."

This time they were smarter and didn't put in the pickled cabbage buns, thinking that would allow them to avoid trouble.

Unfortunately, they were too young!

Just as they were about to taste the instant noodles without the pickled cabbage packet, they took a bite.

puff!

They sprayed it out, shouting, "It tastes so bitter! What is this?"

The instant noodles, which were originally fragrant, suddenly tasted bitter. One bite and my mouth was filled with bitterness.

Upon closer inspection, they finally discovered that the seasonings in the spice packet had somehow turned into something bitter.

In the end, just like last time, they kept rinsing the instant noodles until the bitterness lessened, and then they were able to eat them with difficulty.

The instant noodles had problems both times, which made them start to suspect that Qin Bai was behind it.

However, they checked the packaging and found no signs of damage. Besides, Qin Bai was Qiao Lianyi's devoted admirer, so why would he do such a thing?

The water outage caused a lot of trouble for the residents of the community, since many aspects of people's lives are related to water.

Fortunately, there was a lot of snow outside, and the melting snow provided a good amount of water, which allowed them to barely continue living.

In just a few days, many families had almost run out of food.

Not everyone will stock up on large amounts of food at home. It might be possible during the winter, but the problem is that it's only September now.

Who starts preparing for winter in September?

"Does anyone have any food left? Could you share some? My family has absolutely nothing left to eat."

Some people started asking others for help in the group chat, but everyone's food supply was already limited, especially at this time, and no one knew how long the heavy snow would block the roads, so naturally no one would easily lend a helping hand.

After talking for a while without any response, he started tagging Cao Fengjiao.

"Committee Member Cao, you're a member of the homeowners' committee, could you give me some food? I'll vote for you again in the future!"

Cao Fengjiao knew that since this had been brought up against her, it would be unreasonable for her not to step forward.

“Brother, I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush. There’s an old saying that goes, ‘Many hands make light work.’”

“If only one family helps you, it can only help a little. But if we all help each other, we can definitely help you hold on for a longer period of time.”

"As a member of the owners' committee, I can donate a cabbage to this guy. All the other owners' committee members should set an example!"

At this point, Cao Fengjiao proactively tagged several other members of the owners' committee, after all, she couldn't let herself suffer the loss alone.

The other members of the owners' committee knew they couldn't avoid it, so they reluctantly took out some food.

As for ordinary residents, they didn't even have a loaf of bread.

Even so, it deeply moved that person.

"Thank you, Committee Member Cao, and thank you to the other committee members. It's really great to have you all in our community. I will continue to support you in the future!"

Upon seeing that some people had actually received food, several others immediately expressed that they also had no food and hoped that the owners' committee could provide some.

Cao Fengjiao's face immediately darkened.

Giving it to just one person was already painful for her; if she received several more, she would go hungry herself.

Cao Fengjiao knew that it was impossible to continue having the owners' committee provide food, so the cost had to be shared among other people.

Qin Bai laughed as he watched Cao Fengjiao jumping around in the group chat like a clown.

At this point, the importance of food is self-evident. Why would she force others to provide food for those who have no food? Isn't that just courting death?

The group chat is in an uproar. Cao Fengjiao insists that others provide food, but many people are unwilling to do so. Who knows if those who say they haven't eaten are telling the truth or not?

Just then, a message suddenly appeared, attracting everyone's attention!

"Stop arguing and making such a racket! If anyone has food, I'll buy it for them! A box of cookies is 100 yuan! A case of instant noodles is 1,000 yuan! As for other food, I'll offer whatever price I can think of!"

The appearance of this message immediately silenced the group chat.

They were all shocked. Where could they find such a good deal? Someone was actually willing to spend such a high price to buy food.

Are you telling the truth?

Someone asked.

Clearly, someone is interested.

"Of course it's true. I live in room 505 of building 3. If anyone has food, I can come to your door to trade. Cash on delivery!"

The person who had just asked the question fell silent, and no one knew whether he had actually gone to make the transaction.

After all, this price is beyond most people's imagination.

A box of cookies, which usually costs at most a dozen yuan, suddenly became a hundred yuan.

As for a box of instant noodles, it usually costs less than 100 yuan, but now it costs 1,000 yuan.

This isn't making money, it's outright robbery!

Qin Bai's expression instantly darkened, because he finally saw that bastard come out!

In his previous life, he was killed by two people.

One of them, of course, is Qiao Lianyi.

The other one is Jiang Haochang, who lives in room 505 of building 3!

Jiang Haochang, a rich second-generation, enjoys having fun with different women.

Qiao Lianyi was one of his targets, but after he got her, he dumped her, which left Qiao Lianyi heartbroken for a long time. During that time, Qin Bai stayed by her side and took care of her.

Looking back on these things now, Qin Bai wants to strangle his past self.

As for why Jiang Haochang was in this place, the reason is simple: his newest girlfriend lives in room 505 of building 3!

He only came here for a few days, but unexpectedly, the roads were blocked by heavy snow and he couldn't get out.

It was because he was the first to spend money on food that food prices skyrocketed afterward. A regular pack of instant noodles went up to 1,000 yuan, and there was still no market for it.

He also took advantage of being among the first to buy food and managed to purchase a large quantity, which sustained him for a long time.

Qin Bai's lips curled up. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

So Qin Bai sent a message in the group.

"I'm buying all kinds of food, and I'm raising all prices by 50% from the price mentioned above!"

Upon hearing this news, many people who had already gone downstairs immediately stopped in their tracks.

Are you kidding me? On top of such a high price, how can it increase by 50%?

Only a fool would sell to the people in Building 3. They immediately changed direction and ran towards Building 8 where Qin Bai was.

At this moment, Jiang Haochang, who was lying on the bed, saw that someone was actually stealing his food, and his eyes widened in anger.

"Damn it! Where did this bastard come from, daring to steal my food? You want to compete with me for money? I'll smash you to death!"
