The next day, Yang Qing got up at dawn and quietly went upstairs to check the water in the tank.
I didn’t expect that half a tank of water has been filled. It seems that it rained heavily last night.
Looking downstairs, the water level had risen again and one-third of the fifth floor was flooded.
Fortunately, Teacher Zhang and the others moved up, otherwise we would have no place to live.
Yang Qing looked around and saw that there was no one around. He took out a few buckets of water from the space and poured them into the water tanks. He poured three buckets into each tank, and the water level immediately increased by a quarter.
Then she went back to sleep.
At around ten o'clock, Yang Qing was woken up by Lu Lin. "Qingqing, when did the water tank upstairs get damaged? How come I didn't know?"
"Well, it was delivered last night. What's wrong?" Yang Qing asked.
"Leng Yi is helping to connect the water pipes. Shengnan and the others are so happy." Lu Lin said with a smile.
"How much water is there in the tank?" Yang Qing sat up.
"It's already three-quarters full. I didn't expect to be able to collect so much water in one night. We won't have to worry about running out of water in the future." Lu Lin said.
Yang Qing smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that this was also my contribution.
When they reached the top floor, Li Shengnan and the others were there. They saw Yang Qing coming up and patted her shoulder. "Yang Qing, you're really good. You bought the water tank as soon as you asked. Now we don't have to worry about running out of water."
"Well, let me take a look." Yang Qing looked into the water tank and saw that it had indeed received a lot of water. "But the water is still a little dirty."
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is rainwater, which can't be compared with tap water," said Gao Yang.
"Wait a minute!" Yang Qing went downstairs, actually to get something from the space.
I went back to the top floor and poured something into the water. The impurities in the water settled down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the top part immediately became clear.
"What is this? It's so magical?" Wang Min asked.
"This is a flocculant, which is used to precipitate water and purify it." Yang Qing said, and then took out a small bottle and threw a few water purification tablets into it. "These are water purification tablets, which can disinfect and sterilize. Now you can use your water safely."
"But it's best to boil it before drinking."
Li Shengnan took the bottle and looked at it. "Yang Qing, I didn't expect you to be so capable. When did you buy it?"
"Just before the end of the world, I was afraid of running out of water, so I bought these." Yang Qing chuckled.
"The dirt is all settled at the bottom. When the water flows down, won't the dirt be carried away first?" Jiang Hao asked.
"No!" Leng Yi said, "Look, there's a water outlet and a sewage outlet. The water outlet is at the top, and the water is collected from here, so no dirt will be sucked in."
"After using it for a long time, open the sewage outlet, drain the dirty water, clean the dirt in the water tank, and then you can get new water."
"So that's it!" Everyone suddenly realized what they hadn't noticed before.
"How much did this cost?" Gao Yang asked.
"This isn't expensive, four thousand each. Just to tell you, I bought five hundred kilograms of broken rice, which cost one million yuan, and fourteen kilograms of pork, which cost five thousand each. So here's seventy thousand."
"Let's go down and divide the pork later. We've only got 100 kilograms of rice so far. Let's divide it up once it's all here."
"Okay, you decide." Everyone was relieved.
This money was originally raised by Yang Qing and Leng Yi, so it was like giving it away for free. Who would dare to have any objections?
"There are still more than two million. Do you want to buy some new rice or some broken rice? I want to spend it all." Yang Qing said.
"Since there is still so much, let's buy some new rice. Once we finish eating the new rice now, only broken rice will be left, which is a bit unpalatable." Gao Yang said.
"But you have to think clearly. You can only buy half the amount of new rice. One million pounds of broken rice is more than 70 kilograms per person, which can last for two or three months."
"If we buy all the remaining two million yuan for new rice, it will only last us two or three months. But if we buy all the broken rice, we can last us several more months."
"But according to the current situation, the apocalypse will not be over in a year or two." Yang Qing reminded everyone.
Everyone hesitated.
"Then let's have half new rice and half broken rice." Leng Yi said. He couldn't stand eating only broken rice.
"Okay!" Everyone agreed.
They went downstairs together. Yang Qing took out two faucet filters filled with activated carbon and handed them to Leng Yi. "If you put these on the faucet, the water will be even cleaner."
"Thank you!" Leng Yi nodded.
After returning to the room, Yang Qing divided the pork first. Two pounds per person was not much, so there was no need to put it in the refrigerator.
After the distribution, Yang Qing went to find Zhang Nian again. Zhang Nian thought she was asking for the remaining 400 kilograms of rice, so he quickly said, "I will send you 100 kilograms of the remaining 400 kilograms every night, and I will finish it in four days."
The main reason is that it is quite difficult for him to carry 100 kilograms of rice each time by himself. Teacher Zhang is old and Lin Xueting can't help.
Yang Qing waved his hand, "No rush, take your time. But you have to be careful when you go out and come back every day. It's best not to go out at the same time. If someone sees the pattern and ambushes you somewhere, it will be bad."
Zhang Nian was shocked. Indeed, Miss Yang was very thoughtful.
"I came here to tell you that we need another 500 catties of broken rice and 250 catties of new rice. Do you have any more?"
"Should be." Zhang Nian nodded. "Our original warehouse stored dozens of tons of grain. How can we sell it all at once?"
"That's good." Yang Qing nodded. He felt relieved that the money could be spent and would not be wasted.
"I'll give you the same food as before, but I can only give you one kilogram out of fifty kilograms of new rice. I can also give you broken rice. Do you want broken rice or new rice?" Yang Qing asked.
Zhang Nian thought about it and said, "Let's just use all the broken rice."
This way, there are a total of 60 kilograms of broken rice, which can be eaten for a longer time.
"Okay." Yang Qing nodded. "Just bring the rice over and I'll give it to you. I won't let you go short."
Zhang Nian was very grateful, "Thank you, Miss Yang!"
Yang Qing handed over the things he had brought. "This is half a pound of pork and a pound of broken rice. This is the payment for the pork and the water tank."
"This..." Zhang Nian felt a little embarrassed. The water tank was not worth much, and it was just a small matter for him to carry a dozen pounds of pork.
"This is what you deserve." Yang Qing smiled, "I'll have to trouble you with the food in the future."
"Okay, Miss Yang, don't worry!" Zhang Nian accepted it happily.
The rain gradually subsided in the afternoon. Yang Qing told Lu Lin that he wanted to go to his previous company to see if there were any Chinese medicines and bring some back.
She thought of this when she bought ginseng from the old man yesterday.
Before the end of the world, she worked in a Chinese medicine purchasing company. The company might still have some Chinese medicine in stock, which might come in handy after she brings it back.
"Let me go with you." Lu Lin said.
"Woof woof!" Aqi barked at Yang Qing twice, wagging his tail and looking at her eagerly. "As a poop shoveler, I want to go too. I'm bored at home."
Yang Qing felt like laughing when she saw Aqi's pitiful look, but after thinking about it, she decided to let it follow her. It could still scare people when it got fierce.
Yang Qing went across to Leng Yi and told him that she was going out and asked him to lock the door.
"I want to go out too. I want to exchange some dog food." Leng Yi said. This time he didn't ask Yang Qing what he was going to do. Everyone has their own business.
"You go first, I'll talk to the people in 802." Leng Yi said again.
Yang Qing then dragged himself onto the assault boat and went downstairs with Lu Lin and Aqi.
