Chapter 67: Transporting Supplies (23)

Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe did not withdraw money from the same house. After they separated, Lan Jin took Ren Siqiao and Nana for a short stroll outside and then went to meet Huang Jinghe.

After Huang Jinghe took out the money, the two of them, carrying a huge sum of money, immediately returned home without any delay.

There was no need to wait overnight. The news that the bank was temporarily open spread like wildfire, and there was already a long queue at the door before dawn the next day.

But there are so many people here, coupled with the high temperature and mosquitoes, it is really hard to wait in line.

But there is one thing that is different from Lan Jin's memory. The amount withdrawn in the first two days was indeed 100,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan on the third day. But from the fourth day it became 20,000 yuan, and on the fifth day it became 10,000 yuan. Then, when the seven days were up, all major banks quickly closed. As for whether they would reopen after that, that's unclear.

After the money is withdrawn, the rest will naturally be spent.

Immediately, a message from above quickly spread in the community groups, asking residents to take the cash they had withdrawn to the designated supply and marketing cooperatives to purchase supplies.

The ones here must be designated supply and marketing cooperatives. Others like supermarkets and canteens still collect contribution points, so it is useless to go there.

Not only is there no purchase limit on supplies, but prices have not increased either.

The location of the supply and marketing cooperative is not difficult to find. In order to meet the shopping needs of so many residents, the venue must be large, so large supermarkets near each community are a good place. The name of the supermarket was changed to the current supply and marketing cooperative.

However, there is one difference. The supermarket used to be open from 7:30 am to 10 pm, but now the supply and marketing cooperatives have changed to the normal time period of 9 am to 6 pm. It really takes some time to adapt.

After seeing the news, the residents cursed and took out everything in their homes that could be used to store supplies, and quickly rushed to the supermarket.

As for Lan Jin, thanks to the convenience obtained from Huang Jinghe and his parents, the two of them had already paid for the goods they needed without any notice, and they were all transported to a small warehouse in a corner, waiting for them to transport them home by themselves.

As for delivery, sorry, we don't have this service.

At this moment, she couldn't help but sigh that it was really good to have an 'acquaintance' around.

With no one to help with the delivery, the two of them had to come on their own. Each of them carried two large bags of supplies as they walked along the road. However, the amount of supplies in their hands was completely incomparable to the amount in the small warehouse. How long would it take to carry them all? So Lan Jin said, "It's not far to walk back, but we can't carry much with just our hands. Now that there's no one around, it's okay for us to take a little more, but later when there are people around, carrying so many supplies will attract too much attention."

Huang Jinghe understood this principle. When he saw the warehouse full of supplies, he couldn't help but sigh at his workload. It wasn't that he was afraid of hard work, but like Lan Jin said, always taking supplies home would attract attention. "So what should I do? I really don't have anything at home to haul supplies, and I can't find anyone to help me right now."

And even if we could hire someone, no one would do it. This would clearly tell others that I have a lot of supplies at home and they are welcome to come and grab them, so we can only move them by hand.

There were a lot of things in Lan Jin's space, and there might be containers that could hold more supplies. She pretended to think and searched over and over again in the space. Then she found several camping carts in the space. There was no problem putting some daily supplies in the carts, and the space was very large. One cart could hold enough supplies for two people to go back and forth two or three times.

Lan Jin said, "I passed by the camp before. My family has a camping cart. It's a bit big. I'll go back and look for it. It will make things a lot easier for us."

The two of them took the elevator home with their supplies. After a while, Lan Jin found the camping cart from the space.

I have to say that the capacity of this cart is really large. However, although it is large, it is fine for hauling food, but it seems a bit unsturdy for hauling drinking water.

Lan Jin thought about it and took out an old shopping trailer from the space. Her small trailer was square and had a lid. The square box could hold two boxes of bottled water and some small supplies. After closing the lid, two boxes of purified water could also be stacked on top. This thing was very common and not conspicuous, so it could be taken out and used.

Huang Jinghe's eyes widened with delight when he saw the two things. "Sister Lan, this thing is really big. Using it can save me several trips."

"Yeah, one of us will carry water and the other one will carry food. We can take the elevator back now since there aren't many people around. I'm afraid we'll have to take the stairs later."

The two knew that the supplies should not attract attention, so they quickened their pace. Except for the first trip, they didn't meet anyone in the next two trips. They took the elevator to the 30th floor smoothly and then moved the supplies back home.

When they went out for the fourth time, groups of people began to run towards the supply and marketing cooperative with their belongings. Not only was the elevator unavailable, but many people could not wait for the elevator and ran down the emergency passage. Even the emergency passage was no longer safe.

The two men waited at the side door of the safety passage for about an hour. After the elevator obviously stopped moving, the two men quickly took the elevator and moved the supplies back home.

After that, we hurriedly moved the supplies back home again, and there were obviously more people bringing supplies back.

Lan Jin packed up the trailer used for shopping and went out with Huang Jinghe, taking only a small camping cart.

When we got on the elevator back, looking at the cart full of supplies, someone asked, "You guys stole a lot of stuff, pushing it in such a big cart?"

Lan Jin explained with a smile, "We two families each grabbed our own things, so we loaded them back in one car. It's much easier than carrying them by hand."

When they heard that it was two families, the people in the elevator didn't say anything. The main reason was that there were too many people looting in the supply and marketing cooperative. Even if the whole family went out, they couldn't steal anything. When they saw that other families had stolen so much, they would be jealous.

But if it's two families, then one share for each family wouldn't be much different from their supplies, so they'd feel balanced.

After getting out of the elevator and arriving at Lan Jin's house, Huang Jinghe finally understood Lan Jin's intention. "Sister Lan is so smart. How did you know these people would ask this?"

"Of course they'll ask, how can we not be jealous when others can't grab the supplies and we each have to push a large cart?"

Huang Jinghe nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This was pure life experience. However, he hesitated a little when asked whether to take the elevator again. "Sister Lan, should we still take the elevator?"
