In Jingjing Supermarket, everyone was busy sorting out the supplies. Today was the first day of the implementation of the regulations, and Xia Shige was worried about trouble, so he also came to the supermarket to help.
Along with this batch of supplies came two policemen, who were assigned by the state to maintain public order at the supply points and oversee the distribution of supplies.
Starting today, two policemen and the community property department have set up an "Emergency Office" for the Dudu community, and the service point is located next to Jingjing Supermarket.
Jingjing Supermarket was officially certified as a national supply point for the community. As supermarket owners, Xia Huiyin, Xia Guocheng and the Lin family received several thousand yuan in additional national subsidies each month for the staffing of the supply point.
Everyone in the supermarket knew the two policemen who came to guard the store. They were the same two who came to investigate the last time the supermarket was almost robbed. The older policeman was named Zheng Xin and the younger policeman was named Tan Zhen.
Officer Tan Zhen still remembered what happened last time. After all, it was rare to see such a stupid thief. When he saw that everyone in the supermarket was familiar, he nodded and greeted everyone, saying sincerely: "Don't worry, we are all armed and will definitely stop the troublemakers."
"Carrying guns? It's not that strict. We are just an ordinary community supermarket." Lin Yuanfeng smacked his lips.
Officer Zheng Xin said seriously: "Although your community is relatively stable for the time being, you still can't let your guard down. Recently, there have been murders in several communities in the city center, and organized robbery gangs have begun to appear. The country attaches great importance to the safety of each material supply point."
Everyone in the supermarket nodded repeatedly when they heard this, and became more concerned about safety issues.
As the sun went down in the evening, people started to come to the supermarket with their ID cards to shop. Seeing the rows of shelves and freezers filled with food and meat, everyone exclaimed:
"Is this the reserve meat? I finally see meat again after so many days! Give me two pounds first!"
"I thought it would be most cost-effective to stock up on instant noodles. For a similar amount, instant noodles have the highest calories and they also come with vegetable packets."
"I would definitely choose rice. Rice is the basis of food, and the quota is high. I don't have to worry if I have rice in my hands."
"What's the point of eating rice? I'd rather choose biscuits."
“…”
A middle-aged man registered with his and his wife's ID cards, took five packs of cigarettes from the counter, and then went straight to the shelf to grab two bottles of wine. Then he ran to the cashier excitedly and said with a smile: "That's all, check out."
"...If you buy these, you and your wife's shopping quota for this week will be used up. Are you sure you want to buy these things?" Lin Jingjing asked with a complicated expression.
"Sure, sure. I've been feeling suffocated these days." The middle-aged man replied with a chuckle.
Lin Jingjing didn't know what to say after hearing that, so she just scanned the code for him to pay. After all, it was his own choice and no one else had the right to interfere.
At this time, another young man finished registering and ran to the grain and oil area to pick up a bag of rice to pay the bill.
"Wait, sir, you are not from our community and you cannot shop here," Xia Huiyin stopped him.
The young man scratched his head and replied, "I just moved here these past two days. My girlfriend lives here."
Xia Huiyin shook her head and said, "Now all information is connected to the big data network. You have used up your quota at the Garden Community this week and can no longer buy from us."
The young man wanted to say something, but when he saw the policeman with a gun standing by, his face turned pale, he put down the rice and left in a hurry.
Many owners came to shop that night, and they all bought the full amount in one go. When there were no more people around 8 o'clock in the evening, Xia Shige and others packed up their things, locked the supermarket door, and prepared to go home.
Several stores next to Jingjing Supermarket, in addition to one that was converted into an "emergency office", have also been converted into dormitories. Two policemen and several community security guards have moved in, and they have taken turns on duty these days.
"Officer Zheng, Officer Tan, thank you for your hard work. We will go back first." said everyone in the supermarket.
Officer Tan Zhen smiled and replied, "With us here, you can go home and rest assured."
Xia Shige's family said goodbye to Lin Jingjing's family and went back to their own homes.

When the group returned home in the evening, grandma and Grandma Liu had already prepared dinner. They caught two fish from the pond in the backyard today and made squirrel fish and sweet and sour fish. Xia Shige ate it with gusto.
Xia Shige felt relieved after seeing the situation in the supermarket today. With two policemen there, no one should cause any trouble. She decided to concentrate on growing vegetables, picking crabs, catching fish, and shipping goods in Taoyuan Space starting from tomorrow, so as to earn 100 million as soon as possible!
