Time passed minute by minute. Aunt Ma in Room 402 put down the rubber hammer she was using to smash the floor tiles and rubbed her sore hands.
"It's been an hour. Why hasn't anyone downstairs come up to find us?"
"In the past, those residents couldn't stand the noise for more than ten minutes and came up to negotiate and bring food."
Aunt Ma used this unethical method to cheat several groups of residents of Room 302.
In addition, there was a girl named Kong who often followed Aunt Ma to the downstairs to eat and drink for free, resulting in no one wanting to live on the third floor.
Those who lived there moved out within two days.
"That damn girl probably didn't come back to sleep. Let's go to my house and harass Room 303 downstairs."
Sister Kong opened the door and went out, and suddenly saw Jiang Fei standing by the door waiting.
The next second, Jiang Fei covered his mouth and pushed him back into the house, knocking him unconscious with a punch.
Aunt Ma was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to scream.
Bang--!
A brick hit Aunt Ma on the head, and she fell to the ground and lost consciousness on the spot.
After confiscating the rubber hammers used by the two men to make noise, Jiang Fei closed the door of Room 402 and went home to rest.
It's finally quiet.
After a good sleep, Jiang Fei woke up refreshed the next day. He collected water for an hour in the morning and stored it in the water tank in the supermarket warehouse. He took a portion of pork dumplings and milk for breakfast.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Fei put on his down jacket and went out.
I have the business license to open a small supermarket, but I still lack a house.
Most of the empty shops in the safety station are in the hands of the original owners, and the government is only responsible for repairing them.
Only unattended empty shops belong to the government, but they are not rented or sold to outsiders.
If she wanted to buy a shop, she had to go to the market to find the owner.
After walking around for a while, Jiang Fei found three homeowners who were selling their houses. After looking at them one by one, he only liked a large flat-floor shop.
It used to be a convenience store, but is now abandoned.
The floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides were broken by the flood. The owner sealed them with bricks and cement and replaced them with two small windows for ventilation and lighting.
It is divided into a sales area, a lounge, a toilet, and a small warehouse.
The store is located on West Street of the Security Bureau.
There are many residential areas on West Street and a large flow of people. Most official and private shops are located here.
"How much?"
The homeowner smoothed the few remaining strands of hair on his head and opened his mouth: "30 bags of instant noodles, 30 kilograms of coal, 30 liters of kerosene, plus a piece of jewelry. No silver or gold."
Jiang Fei raised his eyebrows: "Are you taking advantage of me?"
She had already inquired about the prices at the market, which were generally one kilogram of coal and three liters of kerosene.
There is no shortage of water in the safety center, but coal and kerosene are in short supply.
These two things are indispensable for lighting kerosene lamps, heating, boiling water and cooking.
The shop is not worth anything at all.
The supplies of ordinary survivors are not enough for their own use, so how can they have extra to open a store?
Not to mention that someone would buy it to live in.
Isn’t the official free bunk bed nice?
"Two kilograms of coal and two liters of kerosene."
Jiang Fei cut straight to the bottom, and the homeowner refused to accept it.
"I have such a big store and you only give me a few things, are you kidding me?"
"At least 20 kilograms of coal and 10 liters of kerosene."
When the homeowner was still trying to cheat Jiang Fei of his supplies, a familiar voice came from outside.
"This shop is great, I want to buy something too... Holy crap! Boss!"
Wang Quezi ran in excitedly, followed by A Meng.
"That's great, big guy! I couldn't find you at the safe house, I thought you were dead, and I cried a lot!"
"Now I don't have to stack gold ingots for you to burn!"
Jiang Fei: "...If you don't know how to speak, just shut up."
"You want to buy this?"
"No, no, no." Wang Quezi explained:
"I'm friends with Old Joe. I heard there was a fool desperate to buy a house, so he came to act and help him raise the price."
"Hey, boss, you're not a fool, I am..."
Wang Quezi quickly changed the subject: "Old Qiao, this is the Miss Jiang I always mentioned to you. I paid for the supplies for her house purchase. Don't try to blackmail me."
Old Qiao was helpless: "If you had told me you knew each other earlier, I wouldn't have had to rack my brains to bargain."
"One kilogram of coal, one liter of kerosene, and the house will be sold to you. We will go to the exchange now to process it."
Jiang Fei and Lao Qiao went to the stock exchange.
After obtaining the transaction certificate, A Meng also took the corresponding supplies.
Lao Qiao gave the key to Jiang Fei and left with the supplies.
He still has two stores and has to go back to continue selling.
Jiang Fei discovered that Scar had followed Ah Meng here, and he mentioned the matter of the small base in Paradise on Earth.
"That girl should be your sister. She came to the safe house with us. You can go look for her."
Scar's tears of excitement welled up in his eyes.
Without even having time to say thank you, he hurried to take his younger brother to find his younger sister.
Wang Quezi and Jiang Fei returned to the store and said with emotion: "This world is really small. I didn't expect you to meet Scar's sister."
"Boss, what are you going to do when you buy the store?"
"If you don't have a place to live, I can arrange it for you. I've found some old acquaintances at the safe house, and I can get you a place through the back door to live in resettlement housing. It's warmer than here."
"I want to open a small supermarket." Jiang Fei told Wang Quezi her plan.
"We mainly sell food and daily necessities, and occasionally some home-grown vegetables and scarce supplies. We only accept gold."
Coal, gasoline, diesel, etc. are non-renewable resources, and she is reluctant to sell them.
The sources of meat and seafood are difficult to explain and cannot be disclosed for the time being.
When the weather warms up, the ice on the rivers melts, and the shrimps begin to reproduce, there will be a reason to sell shrimps.
Wang Quezi admired him very much.
As expected of a big guy, he never forgets his hobbies wherever he goes!
