"The purchase limit per person is 500 yuan. Please calculate reasonably. Any purchases exceeding the limit will be refunded! Not even a dime more will be accepted!"

As if afraid that people might not understand, the speakers above their heads kept playing the music in a loop.

The first floor of the supermarket is not very big, just the size of an ordinary supermarket. It is brightly lit inside and the shelves are full of things. It feels like going back to the time before the extreme heat.

This supermarket has two floors. The first floor sells food, and I don’t know what the second floor sells.

There are not only many people buying things in the supermarket, but also many staff members. They walk in the supermarket, and when they see an empty shelf, they go to the warehouse to replenish it.

Ji He didn't rush upstairs, but walked around the first floor first.

These people are right. There are a lot of food sold in supermarkets, but there are no beverages or mineral water.

Ji He didn't even see milk, yogurt or other dairy products.

Of course, it is also possible that the ones that were available were sold out.

The only things that have anything to do with liquids are soy sauce and vinegar...

Before the extreme heat, as soon as Ji He entered the supermarket, not to mention the several large cabinets filled with drinks and mineral water, just the yogurt and fresh milk would take up an entire wall, right?

Now it's all gone.

Ji He walked around the supermarket and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Although there are quite a few things in the supermarket, most of them have a short shelf life, half a month or a month, or even near the expiration date.

There are basically no products with a long shelf life, such as beef jerky and canned luncheon meat.

After having an idea in mind, she went to the grain area which covered the largest area first.

From a distance, I could see a huge sign standing there, which said that each person was limited to purchasing half a kilogram per day!

Ji He: “…”

Half a pound?

It must be difficult to eat rice three times a day, right?

Even though he complained, Ji He still wanted to get closer and take a look.

There is quite a lot of food on the shelves, including rice, white flour, millet, brown rice, cornmeal, red beans, mung beans, etc. Basically, everything that is available in the market can be found here. There are many varieties, and it can even be said to be very complete.

When she took a closer look at the price, she almost left.

Rice: 300 yuan/jin.

Not to mention the purchase restrictions, it’s still so expensive?

Even if you buy as much as you want, 500 yuan is not enough to buy two kilograms!

This 500 is really not worth spending.

Despite this, this shelf still has the most people standing in front of it.

There is no other reason. Even if each person has half a pound of food, if they are frugal and cook it into porridge and add pickles, it can still be eaten for two days. In this way, in addition to what they need to eat on the day, they can still save some.

Chinese people are used to being frugal in their nature.

Ji He glanced at the people queuing in front of him and turned to leave.

The food stored in her space was enough for the time being, so she decided not to join in the fun.

In addition to the food area, there are also quite a few people in the snack area.

Now I drink porridge every day, and I am so greedy. Snacks with strong flavors are just right to improve my life.

Maybe it’s because the natural disaster just happened, there is still a rich variety of snacks. Basically, all the food that was originally found on the market can be found here.

It’s just that the prices have increased many times, some even twenty or thirty times.

Take the candy that used to cost two yuan a bag. Now the price has risen to more than 50 yuan a bag.

Originally, the ready-to-eat dried fish were sold by the pound, with only one fish in each piece. Now they are sold by the piece, and the price has increased to 40 yuan per piece.

A spicy dried fish that is not even as long as a finger is sold at such a high price

Most importantly, all of these are near-expiry products.

If it weren't for the extreme heat, Ji He would not have known that there were so many expiring products on the market, they were piled up like mountains and sold at extremely high prices.

There are still a lot of people grabbing it.

Ji He looked on in silence.

Forget it, she had stored a lot of these in supermarkets and internet celebrity warehouses, and she usually couldn’t bear to eat them, so there were still a lot.

In fact, she didn’t have to buy it…

Looking along the way, except for the meat and vegetables which had been sold out long ago, as long as the rest were taken away, the staff would replenish them. At least now there was no snatching happening.

"Can you give me some more cabbage? My old lady has high blood pressure, and she can't stand eating pickles every day." A middle-aged man grabbed the staff and begged.

"It's not that I don't want to replenish them. There is no stock in the warehouse. Only a few are released every day. Even we can't buy them." The staff member who was pulled over also looked embarrassed. "If it doesn't work, there are dried goods over there. Go buy some dried mushrooms to eat."

Ji He glanced at the counter selling vegetables and meat, a small table, which was pitifully empty at the moment.

When I came to the counter selling dry goods, I found that the prices here had also gone up a lot, although they were not rising as fast as grains and there was no purchase limit.

But when it comes to snacks, 500 yuan can’t buy much.

Ji He didn't give up and continued shopping in the supermarket.

Finally, she saw the counter and seasonings with a relatively small increase in price and a decent shelf life.

Although it has increased five times, compared with other foods, this increase is nothing.

Ji He was not in a hurry to take it. He went shopping in the supermarket on the first floor and compared them, but still couldn't find anything cheaper than theirs.

I simply lowered my head and took a lot of seasonings and put them in the basket, while adding more with my phone, making sure that the final price was just right.

An auntie saw Ji He buying seasonings and said, "Why buy so many seasonings? If you can't finish them, they will go bad easily."

"There are many people at home." Ji He smiled and said simply without saying anything more. He lowered his head and concentrated on counting the accounts.

Get a few bottles of soy sauce, vinegar, steamed fish sauce, cooking wine, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sesame oil, salt, chicken essence, MSG, bean paste, soybean paste, and chili sauce.

Soy sauce is consumed the most when cooking during this period, so buy more.

She couldn't afford sugar anymore as the price had gone up a lot, luckily she had saved enough before, and when it was all used up, the sugarcane in her space should be able to be used to make sugar.

After packing all the seasonings, Ji He did not forget to go upstairs to take a look.

Daily necessities are sold upstairs, but there are not many people there, only a few in total.

The price didn't increase much and was about the same as before the disaster. Ji He went to get a few lighters and candles to complete the order, which was exactly 499.5.

Only then did he go to queue up to pay with satisfaction.

After paying the bill and walking out the door, Ji He put all the seasonings he bought into his backpack and then walked out slowly.

Next to it is the recycling counter. Maybe it’s not the end of the road yet, there are a few people in front of the counter, but not many.

Ji He took a look and then looked away, concentrating on walking. The incident of Ji Yin being robbed yesterday was right in front of her eyes, and she didn't want the seasoning she had just spent money on to be snatched away the moment she turned around.

People who come out of the supermarket after shopping should also have this concern. Most of them walk together in groups, with women and children walking in the middle and men walking in the outer circle, carrying sticks and kitchen knives, so that thieves will be wary when they see them.

Ji He had no one to accompany him, so he had to be extra careful on his own.
