Zhang Wei's lips were trembling and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.
That bottle of crystal clear mineral water emitting charming light is like a tempting devil's fruit, which is irresistible.
He turned around and looked at the others, "Who among you brought gold and silver jewelry?"
A woman came forward, holding a child in her arms, and spoke weakly, "I, I have it here."
Her daughter is almost dying. If she doesn't drink some water, she will die of thirst soon.
So, even though there are many dangers outside, she is willing to give it a try for the sake of her child.
Even if it means risking her life!
Zhang Wei's expression was serious, and he said something unpleasant upfront: "Go out and exchange supplies with her. If anything unexpected happens, we won't open the door for you."
Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.
Li Qianmei's face turned pale and she nodded gently: "Yes, I know."
She risked her life, and if she could get a bottle of water in return, that would be the best.
If not, we will starve to death and die of thirst anyway, so one or two days won’t make a difference.
Jiang He maintained a kind smile and when he saw someone coming out, he immediately took out the black box for card processing.
"Put your hands up."
Compared with her energetic and enthusiastic state, Li Qianmei, with a pale face, looked even more lifeless.
She slowly stretched out her hand, and two seconds later, with a "beep" sound, a black card popped out.
Following Jiang He's instruction, Li Qianmei added the bracelet and necklace to her points card.
[Ding, congratulations to customer Li Qianmei, she successfully topped up 500 points~]
She was stunned for a moment, then looked up and asked, "What can I buy?"
“A bottle of mineral water costs 100 points, but each customer is limited to two bottles, leaving 300 points. You can also buy bread or rice balls, both of which cost only 60 points.
Or you can go to the supermarket if you want.”
Jiang He turned her head and looked at the space behind her. It was enough for her to open a supermarket.
Li Qianmei gritted her teeth, unable to wait to bring clean water back for her daughter to drink.
After thinking for a moment, she bought two bottles of water, two loaves of bread and a rice ball.
After getting the things, Li Qianmei panted excitedly and returned to the air-raid shelter impatiently.
The rest of the people gathered at the door, staring at the food in her arms.
The little girl grabbed Li Qianmei's clothes and was about to cry, "Mom, I'm thirsty..."
Worried that there might be something wrong with the water, Li Qianmei took a sip herself first. The cool water made her body slightly refreshed, and her face gradually showed a hint of color.
Not only is it non-toxic, it also tastes sweeter than ordinary water!
The woman didn't hesitate any longer, she quickly bent down and handed the bottle to her daughter's mouth.
The girl was so thirsty that she held the bottle tightly with both hands and sucked it in big gulps. Her dry throat was moistened and she made a "gulp gulp" sound.
Zhang Wei was close and opened his mouth involuntarily, as if he was the one drinking the water.
For a moment, the air-raid shelter was filled with the sound of swallowing.
Li Qianmei tore open the outer packaging of the rice ball, and a rich aroma spread out. Just like before, she tried it herself before letting her daughter eat it.
Everyone around was thirsty and hungry. Looking at the mother and daughter wolfing down the food, they didn't know how much willpower it took for them to resist rushing up to grab the food.
Among them, there was a person whose words carried more weight, the middle-aged man who initially asked Zhang Wei to open the door.
Before this, he had been the team leader of the third planting group. He was an expert in farming and the ministers above him valued him very much. However, because he was a straightforward man and could not adapt to the officialdom, he had never been promoted.
However, he still has a certain prestige among the lower-class residents, and everyone is used to listening to him.
Jiang He called out at the door: "Anyone else want to buy something?"
Zhang Wei leaned against the door and didn't let go. His eyes were filled with desire for food and his heart was beating fast with excitement.
"Uncle Zhong, what should we do now? Should we open the door?"
After a moment's silence, Su Jianzhong called out a few names and said, "Come with me to check the situation. The rest of you will stay here. If it's safe, go back to the dormitory and find something to exchange for food."
No one else had any objection to this arrangement.
Zhang Wei opened the door and walked out with the team.
Seeing them leave in a hurry and no one came to her to buy things, Jiang He was not in a hurry. She was confident in the supermarket's products and was not afraid that they would not sell.
Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Jiang He found a place to open a supermarket near the residential building.
The water and food that have just been bought are the best publicity for the supermarket. She only needs to sit at the checkout counter and wait for customers to come.
What should I eat for lunch?
Jiang He first took out a plate of rice with lard, and then brought out two seafood dishes and a pot of spicy fish.
I had iced fruit tea as my drink today.
Every time she receives goods, she will keep a few portions. Even if she earns fewer points, she won’t let herself suffer!
Spicy fish is made from black fish, which has relatively few bones and tender and smooth meat. Combined with the stimulating spicy taste, it leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth after one bite, making you can't wait to take the next bite.
When Zhang Wei, Su Jianzhong and others came over and saw the table full of delicious food, their eyes instantly widened and their souls were almost taken away.
The little bear opened his arms, blocking the supermarket entrance, and reminded in a crisp voice: "Our supermarket has limited goods, first come first served, please line up and buy in order~"
The Welcoming Bears are very strict and will not let anyone into the supermarket if the queue is not arranged properly!
Su Jianzhong looked at the white bear for two seconds, then organized everyone to line up in an orderly manner.
The first dozen or so residents who arrived had gold and silver jewelry in their pockets, while the remaining half had nothing at home and had to go outside to pick up plastic bottles.
Su Jianzhong was the first to enter the supermarket and exchanged more than 2,000 points for gold, silver and jewelry.
Everything in Shuguang Supermarket shocked him.
Su Jianzhong couldn't believe it. He got antipyretics, painkillers, and quick-acting heart pills so easily...
In the past, such materials were only in the hands of a few powerful people, and small people like them couldn't even think about getting them.
When he came to the checkout counter to pay, Su Jianzhong's face turned red and his voice trembled with excitement.
"Boss Jiang, are you sent by the state to distribute welfare to us?"
Otherwise, he could hardly imagine that a young girl could possess so many supplies and sell them at a low price.
Jiang He shook his head and said, "This supermarket is opened by me personally. I have opened it in many places before."
These words made Su Jianzhong's eyes widen, and he looked at Jiang He with a little more awe.
He spoke sincerely and solemnly, saying two words: "Thank you."
Without the supplies from the supermarket, these people would not survive long even if they escaped the bandits' looting.
