Lin Jingjing looked at the carriage, frowned and asked, "Dad, brother, didn't we agree to fill two truck compartments? There have been many customers who have made advance reservations for mineral water in the past two days. I don't think this amount of goods will be sold for a few days."
Lin Yuanfeng said helplessly: "We went to several mineral water manufacturers' warehouses and only got this much. The entrance of the water plant was crowded with buyers waiting to pick up the goods. It was as spectacular as the rush for ice cream in the past."
Of course, ever since the government announced the power restriction policy for factories, the ice cream factory has stopped operating, and you can no longer see ice cream on the market.
Lin Shuo lifted up his T-shirt to wipe the sweat from his forehead and added, "The water plants we visited have all stopped operating. They said that this batch of inventory is the last mineral water on the market. There is not much water in the current reservoirs. The water source has dried up. Even if the plants are reopened in the future, they don't know where to get water."
Lin Yuanfeng nodded, sighed and said, "And the price of this batch of water is incredibly expensive. The original purchase price of a box of water was about 20 yuan, and now it has risen to 90 yuan. Just this truckload of goods has emptied our wallets."
Xia Guocheng was stunned when he heard this: "The purchase price is only 90 yuan? How much should the selling price be? Will anyone buy it by then?"
Xia Huiyin felt a little panicked when she heard them say that. The price had increased so many times, and she was afraid that many customers would not be able to accept it.
Lin Yuanfeng and Lin Shuo hesitated when they took the goods, wondering if they could sell them at such a high price. But seeing that other supermarket buyers were grabbing them without hesitation, they gritted their teeth and took the goods back.
Lin Jingjing cried out in despair, "Those customers already scolded us for raising prices, now we are going to be scolded to death."
Xia Shige patted Lin Jingjing's shoulder and consoled her: "This is the same price everywhere nowadays, don't worry, most people should be able to understand."
Lin Jingjing could only make a bitter face and contact the customers who had pre-ordered mineral water one by one through private chats to inform them that the mineral water had arrived. Then she nervously told the customers the selling price of this batch of mineral water.
Lin Jingjing thought she would be scolded by the customer. After sending the message, her fingertips began to tremble and she didn't dare to read the replies. Unexpectedly, everyone accepted the price so quietly.
Not only did they accept it, but many customers even purchased dozens of boxes after hearing the price.
There is no way. The limited water supply in the past few days has made everyone miserable. Everyone has deeply realized the preciousness of water. We can still cope with no electricity, but we really can't cope without water.
Many people drove to the supermarkets to buy goods, but they didn’t expect to see any drinks, let alone mineral water, after visiting several supermarkets. They were all sold out. This time, seeing that Jingjing Supermarket had restocked the goods, they decided to stock up more in case of emergency.
Everyone in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. Lin Jingjing agreed on a pick-up time with the buyers. Just as it was evening, customers began to come to pick up the mineral water they had ordered in advance.
Many people helped the buyers to deliver the water to the elevator and upstairs.
I was busy until the evening, and after delivering all the pre-orders, nearly four or three dozen bottles of mineral water had been sold.
A few people moved all the remaining goods to the supermarket warehouse, preparing to sell them slowly.

When Xia Shige and his friends returned home exhausted, Grandma and Grandma Liu had already prepared dinner.
When the cat saw Xia Shige finally came back, it jumped lightly onto Xia Shige's shoulder.
"You're back. Why are you so busy today?" Grandma brought a large glass pot with iced Jinyinxi honey water in it: "This is the Jinyinxi honey that Shige left in the refrigerator. Drink some to quench your thirst first."
Several people took the honey water and after drinking a glass of water, they immediately felt that most of the heat and fatigue of the day had disappeared.
"This honey water tastes so good. I feel refreshed all over after drinking it in one breath." Sun Yuegui exclaimed in amazement.
Xia Shige also found it incredible. She thought it was an illusion yesterday, but it seemed to be the magical power of the Taoyuan space. She decided to wander around the space more often when she had nothing to do. She wondered how many more surprises the Taoyuan space could bring her.
After dinner, Xia Shige returned to his room and checked his phone. Lin Jingjing had already sent the news of the arrival of mineral water to the community group and also sent the price.
"4-1209正㱗摸鱼: @晶晶 Got a lot of water? Great, I want 30 boxes, I can't stand it. The electricity bill is too expensive, I dare not keep the air conditioner on, I sweat as soon as the air conditioner is turned off. These days, it's hot and thirsty, and there is not enough water to drink. I will transfer the money to you now."
"3-1007 Qiqi's mother: @Jingjingchao㹐, I want 60 boxes, I'll transfer the money to you. I'm really impressed by this water pipe, the water flow is too small, I kept collecting water for an hour, and finally collected five basins of water, which is only enough for my family to drink and cook, even taking a bath is a luxury."
“6-702䲾月光: I want one too, I want one too. I don’t know when things will get back to normal, so I’d better stock up. @晶晶超㹐 I want 30 boxes, remember to collect the payment.”
“5-1706 Ah Dian: Is there any mistake in the price of water? @晶晶超㹐.”
