Chapter 17 Green Tea and White Lotus Appear
Shi Jiaojiao turned the air conditioner to 18℃ and took out the induction cooker. The hot pot had been cooked in advance, but there were not many dishes in it. She also took out various meat rolls and vegetables and filled the table!
The beef rolls covered with sesame paste, the bells soaked in soup, the chewy Chaoshan beef balls, and a sip of iced happy water after finishing the meal, Shi Jiaojiao looked very satisfied.
My treasure cousin downstairs is lying on the bed, watching movies to kill time. He tries to move as little as possible, so he can consume less energy.
A few days of instant noodles had already drained him of his energy. He had also stockpiled some food before the purchase restriction, but since he couldn't cook, he basically bought some fast food such as bread and instant noodles.
He thought the takeout business would be restored soon, but he never expected that life would get worse and worse with each passing day.
Not only has it not recovered, supermarkets have even imposed purchase restrictions!
Rice, flour, grain and oil are all in short supply and cannot be bought even if you have money. He has been eating instant noodles for three days and is feeling nauseous. Now he smells the aroma of hot pot and his stomach growls. He takes a look at the instant noodles and feels even more disgusted.
I had no choice but to take out the half bottle of Lao Gan Ma that I had treasured, spread a little bit on the bread, and let the hot pot smell hypnotize myself that I was eating hot pot.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't know that her downstairs neighbor was about to vomit from eating instant noodles. She was holding her bloated stomach and trying to digest the food while she dug out the gold she found yesterday. Inside were some earrings, rings, necklaces, and various jewelry.
She weighed them and said, "Brother, are these two kilograms?"
Mu Ci took out a portable scale from the drawer and said, "Weigh it and you'll know, but I think it's only about one and a half pounds."
Sure enough, the bag of gold weighed 820g, less than two kilograms.
Shi Jiaojiao put the gold into the golden house, and the task progress was also refreshed -
[Collect 100 pounds of gold (1.6/100)]
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the data and fell into a daze.
She rubbed her eyes and looked again, and it showed that it was indeed only 1.6!
What's going on? What about the 20g?
Why do we still use middlemen to make a profit from the price difference?

At 9:30 in the evening, the two came to the supermarket again.
Only then did they realize that the supermarket had been taken over by the government, and there were several policemen standing at the door, all carrying guns.
And now you have to use your ID card to buy it, and food and water are all limited.
The crowd who couldn't buy enough supplies complained, but looking at the police standing upright at the supermarket entrance and the black muzzles of guns, no one dared to speak.
Just buy as much as you can. At worst you can just save some food.
Although the government's direct takeover curbed the crazy hoarding behavior, it also brought a glimmer of hope to everyone.
Look, the country hasn't given up on them yet!
If you hold on a little longer, you can always get back to the way things were before.
Shi Jiaojiao took a walk around the supermarket and found that goat milk powder was also limited in quantity and each person could only buy two bags.
After throwing four bags of goat milk powder into the shopping cart, Shi Jiaojiao found the supermarket manager and asked if there were any pet supplies.
Although the person in charge didn't understand why some people still kept pets when people were starving, he still took her to the pet warehouse.
"Take your pick. These things are all cheap for you."
Because no one buys them and it would be a waste to leave them alone, they are sold at low prices and there is no limit on the quantity.
There are a lot of big-name cat foods in the warehouse. Shi Jiaojiao thought about it and thought that Xiao Hei is also a feline, so he is a big cat, so he should be able to eat it.
Various canned foods for cats and dogs, all filled with meat, no problem, just take them all.
Pet goat milk powder, this is much better than what you buy yourself, all included.
Cat litter is also necessary. She can’t take the tiger out for a walk every day. She wants Xiao Hei to be a tiger that knows how to use cat litter.
I bought all kinds of cat and dog shampoo, insect repellent spray, teething sticks, freeze-dried snacks, fish oil calcium tablets, and various toys. I will never have the chance to buy more in the future.
In the end, almost half of the warehouse was emptied.
The person in charge received a total of 150,000 yuan in cash, including purchases and free gifts.
The supermarket is not far from the community, and the person in charge arranged for people to ride a few tricycles to deliver the goods to the elevator.
Along the way, many neighbors saw this scene and couldn't help talking about it.
By the time Jiaojiao was done, the owner chat group had been buzzing for quite some time.
4-5 is Xiao Guoye: I just want to know where that big guy bought so many things just now! ! !
3-10 Tiantian Children's Clothing Store: Aren't there purchase limits in supermarkets now? My family is running out of food.
5-16 Tiantian’s mother: I’m tired of saying the word “envy”.
2-1 Xiao Yueyue: The young man and young lady outside just now are from our building on the 20th floor. It seems that someone sent them a lot of boxes of things a few days ago.
When seeing this, Jiaojiao's eyes darkened. This little Yueyue was really considerate and kept staring at her.
There's no point in staring at her. If you want her things, then see whether your brain is harder or her knife is faster.
Shi Jiaojiao had not yet realized that this little Yueyue was the holy white lotus whom she rescued yesterday.
Zhao Yueyue has much sharper eyes and recognized Shi Jiaojiao when she saw her just now.
Thinking about how she refused to give him a ride yesterday, Zhao Yueyue felt angry.
How can such a selfish person have so much food?
She refused to accept the defeat and fiercely typed on her phone with gritted teeth.
Humph, now everyone knows that you have supplies at home, let’s see what you will do!
4-5 is Xiao Guoye: Food is so precious now, and there are still people giving it away? What kind of idiot is this?
2-19 Treasure Cousin: In which direction should I kowtow to meet such a friend?
Most people in the group are curious about the purchasing channels, but no one has the audacity to ask for it yet.
Yes, the extreme heat has just started not long ago, and everyone still has a lot of food left. Although we are a little worried, we are not to the point of starving to death.
Before long, when supplies become increasingly scarce, various natural disasters occur one after another, and countless people die, people's bottom line will continue to drop.
At this time, Xiao Yueyue jumped out again.
2-1 Xiao Yueyue: Don’t panic, I think it won’t be long before everything returns to normal. Besides, the lady on the 20th floor is so capable, she will definitely not stand idly by when you need help~
Shi Jiaojiao almost laughed out loud. Not only was he staring at her, but he also wanted to use her supplies to pretend to be a good person. What kind of daydreaming was he doing?
The corners of her mouth turned up as she typed lazily.
2-20 Jinwuzangjiaojiao: What? Just because of your words, I have to contribute my own family's supplies? You are really shameless and thick-skinned.
2-1 Xiao Yueyue: I’m sorry, sister. I’m not very good at speaking. I really didn’t mean anything else. I just thought that we are all neighbors, and I can help as much as I can.
Sure enough, after this sentence was said, a few bootlickers immediately jumped out of the group, scolding Shi Jiaojiao for being cold-blooded and heartless, swearing at her, and demanding that she apologize immediately.
At this time, Xiao Yueyue kept explaining in the group -
Stop arguing, it's all my fault.
You all misunderstood my sister.
My sister won't be so cold-blooded. We have to believe her.
The more Xiao Yueyue talked, the angrier the lickspittles became.
