Chapter 3 Installing Explosion-Proof Doors
The solar guy drove Yang Qing and the others to the warehouse and found the administrator. However, when the administrator heard that Yang Qing only wanted to rent the solar panels for one day, he shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, how can I rent it for a day?"
Yang Qing smiled and pulled the administrator aside. "It's empty anyway, so I'll pay you ten days' worth in one day."
"Here's the money for you. Don't register it. No one will know, right?"
"Yes, no one knows anyway, it would be a waste not to make money." Lu Lin also advised.
The administrator was a little excited when he heard this, "Really only for one day?"
If it's just one day, I can still hide it.
"Really!" Yang Qing took out his phone, "Give me the payment code and I'll transfer the money to you right away."
The administrator looked at the solar guy, and the guy tactfully turned his head to look the other way.
The administrator immediately took out his mobile phone and collected the money.
"That's troublesome. Their company will send something over later. Please help collect it. Also, give me a spare key. I have other things to deliver today."
The administrator readily agreed.
Yang Qing paid the solar guy for the diesel generator and asked his friend to deliver the goods here.
After finishing it, Yang Qing asked the administrator if there were any building materials warehouses and food warehouses nearby.
"Yes, there are warehouses all over the area. If you need something, just go to their warehouse and buy it. They offer wholesale prices."
Yang Qing was overjoyed, as he got it without any effort.
Acid rain is coming soon. Although there is an eighth floor above the house I rent, that building is quite old. I am afraid that if the acid rain seeps down, the seventh floor will also be unsafe, so it is necessary to build a glass sunroom.
After the end of the world, most plants died and vegetables were in short supply, but sunrooms could still be used to grow vegetables.
Yang Qing majored in Chinese herbal medicine cultivation in college, but growing vegetables is something that is ingrained in the Chinese people’s genes. Even if one has never learned it, most people can do it, not to mention that she grew up in the countryside.
By the way, you should also buy more vegetable seeds. It would be even better if there are Chinese herbal medicine seeds.
After the end of the world, hospitals almost collapsed completely, and medical treatment relied heavily on traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is a scarce resource and can be exchanged for many things.
The two of them quickly found a building materials warehouse that sold glass. They said they had business building sunrooms, and Yang Qing immediately said, "Can I have it today?"
"That won't work. Building a sunroom is not that easy. It will take at least a week."
It was already a week late, Yang Qing and Lu Lin looked at each other.
"How many workers do you have? Let them put aside their current work for now. We will pay them double wages to help me finish the job today." Lu Lin said.
"That won't work either. We still need to measure it on site..."
"Then just pull the glass over and measure and cut it at the same time, wouldn't that be more accurate?" Yang Qing said.
"You can't say that..." The staff member still refused to give in.
"Everything will be double the price. Make it for me immediately. Also, pay the installation workers double the salary!" Yang Qing waved his hand.
You won’t be able to use the money in the future anyway, so try to spend what you can now.
"Well... okay!" The staff agreed. This is extra money, so it would be a waste not to make money.
"They all need explosion-proof glass!" Yang Qing said again.
"That's not necessary, is it?" the staff member was surprised. "The glass used in sunrooms is inherently very hard and won't break easily!"
"No, it must be explosion-proof glass, completely explosion-proof!"
“That’s expensive…”
“Money is not a problem!”
Well, I don’t understand the world of the rich. The staff looked at Yang Qing and then at Lu Lin. These two don’t look like rich people, right?
Who cares? Anyone who has the money to earn it is a fool.
Yang Qing bought another large batch of explosion-proof glass and had it delivered directly to the newly rented warehouse.
Then he brought the workers back to the community, dragging a truck full of glass and various tools.
"Eighth floor? No elevator yet?" The workers were dumbfounded.
"Add more money..." Yang Qing waved his hand.
Finally, the glass was lowered from the roof by ropes, which was terrifying to watch.
Many people were watching the fun below.
"What are you doing?"
"It seems they're going to build a sunroom."
"Isn't that an illegal building? It's not allowed, right?"
"Who knows? Anyway, when someone takes care of it, it will be demolished!"
"She's taken over the eighth floor. How are we going to dry things in the future?"
"Can't let her build it!"
Yang Qing rolled his eyes. He usually never saw anyone going up to the eighth floor to dry things, so he felt uncomfortable when he saw that he was going to use them.
Some people are like this. They can't stand seeing others do well, and they feel like they are at a disadvantage when others do well.
Yang Qing was too lazy to pay attention to them. The end of the world was coming soon, so he couldn't care less.
As long as no one reports it, no one will care about her tomorrow.
Even if someone reports it, the only tactic is to "drag it out". It will be enough if we can drag it out until tonight.
After the glass was hoisted up, the workers immediately started to work. Today's salary was equivalent to several days' wages, so everyone was very motivated.
"By the way, can you make doors and windows for home? I want to replace all the windows in my house with explosion-proof glass." Yang Qing said.
"I have a friend who makes doors and windows, and he also has anti-theft nets. Do you want them?" said the foreman.
"If you want, pay him double the price and ask him to come right away!"
The foreman made a happy phone call, saying that he had met a sucker today!
While waiting for the doors and windows to be made, Yang Qing took Lu Lin to the door of the eighth floor.
"Pry open the door. This house has been requisitioned." Yang Qing said.
"Is no one living here?" Lu Lin asked.
"No!" Yang Qing shook his head. "This is the top floor. It's hard to climb up, hot in the summer and cold in the winter. No one has ever lived here. Who cares? I'll use it first."
Yang Qing saw that there was no one around and immediately pried the lock open.
"Your kung fu is pretty good!" Lu Lin gave a thumbs up.
"Well, this is the basic skill for survival in the apocalypse." Yang Qing smiled and opened the door. There was nothing inside, only some basic furniture, which was just right for storing things.
Not long after, the door and window makers arrived. Yang Qing asked Lu Lin to take Aqi away and have them measure the doors and windows, including those on the eighth floor.
"The entrance doors have also been replaced. They have to be made of explosion-proof glass on the outside and anti-theft doors on the inside. They must be of the best quality."
"You must finish it before five o'clock today, otherwise I won't pay you." Yang Qing said.
I’m afraid they’ll procrastinate until tomorrow and then won’t be able to finish it.
Doors and windows are easy to deal with, but the main thing is that the sunroom must be well built, as it will be used for so many things in the future.
Yang Qing also asked the door and window maker to build two stainless steel security doors between the seventh and sixth floors, both with explosion-proof glass to prevent anyone from coming up to steal supplies after the end of the world.
"Isn't this okay? You're not the only one here. Even if you were, you can't block the road..." The door and window man hesitated.
"It's okay, you do it, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong." Yang Qing said, patting his chest.
Then she went back to the top floor and told the people working in the sunroom to close the door and do their work. If anyone came up to stop them, they should ignore them and she would bear all the consequences.
After finishing all this, Yang Qing called Lu Lin and said, "Now let's go buy food and medicine. These are the most scarce and important things in the end times."
Lu Lin nodded. She didn't understand anything and just listened to Yang Qing.
"What about Archie? Should we take him with us?" Lu Lin asked.
Don’t underestimate Archie because he is a pet dog. If he gets really aggressive, he can bite people to death.
"Take it with you!"
Yang Qing returned to the room, put his identity documents and valuables into the space, then closed the doors of the other two people's rooms and threw the key to the outer door directly to the foreman.
