Chapter 77 Delivery Fee
After watching videos for a while, Han Ying was about to turn off her phone and continue preparing her meal.
Suddenly, a group announcement popped up.
[We have received a notice from the higher authorities that the three-day airdrop has been suspended due to the thick fog. The supplies that were previously taken over by the authorities will be gradually opened for purchase. Please pay attention to the major online next-day delivery apps! ]
Han Ying was also stunned when she saw this sudden group announcement. She didn’t expect the official action to be so quick.
However, after the purchase channel is opened, everyone will feel more at ease and there will be less chaos.
Soon after the group announcement, everyone started chatting excitedly in the group.
Having a place to buy supplies means that life is still on track.
Han Ying opened the five fresh food apps on her phone, and only one of them had a purchasing channel opened.
I think this app should be the one cooperating with the official one.
It’s just that many things have purchase limits, and things that used to be sold in boxes are now being sold separately!
And the prices have gone up a lot!
A bottle of 550ml mineral water is 10 yuan, limited to 5 bottles!
A pound of rice costs 12 yuan, and the purchase limit is 3 pounds!
A pound of frozen pork costs 60 yuan, and the purchase limit is 2 pounds!
A pound of dried vegetables is 50 yuan, and the purchase limit is 1 pound!
A can of yellow peach is 21 yuan, limited to 1!
....
Apart from daily necessities, basically everything is subject to purchase limits, and there is no trace of any fruits or vegetables, only dried vegetables and canned fruits.
This is when the benefits of having a large family population begin to show.
Each person can buy a certain amount of each item, so a family can buy a lot of things in a day.
Of course, your family has to have that kind of money!
Han Ying was browsing the things on the app, and when she scrolled to the back, her eyes lit up because she saw that it also sold kayaks and speedboats!
She has hoarded a lot of this stuff, but she needs a clear way to get rid of it.
The kayaks and speedboats above are marked as second-hand, and should have been used by the authorities to transfer supplies and personnel before the tsunami.
Even though it's second-hand, the price is still not cheap.
Good job!
Kayaking for 18,000!
Assault boat costs 23,000!
Han Ying remembers that when she bought a speedboat before the tsunami, it only cost three or four thousand yuan, and a kayak only a few hundred yuan.
It has increased so much in a short time!
It’s still second-hand!
But come to think of it, what time is it now?
It's like a vast ocean outside, and the kayaks and speedboats are just like the cars we used to travel, so naturally the prices will go up!
Han Ying bought a speedboat and a kayak without any hesitation!
He also bought one or two of many other restricted items.
She still had a lot of money in her card so that she could use it during the poisonous fog period.
The order is still there, so the purchasing power of money is still there, but it is much lower.
Although everything has gone up in price now, the same amount of money can buy you a lot less than before.
But if she had been able to live so well without spending any money during this period of poisonous fog, people would have thought that she had stockpiled a lot of supplies at home!
This is easy to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives!
Although Han Ying is not afraid of things, she is afraid of trouble!
Moreover, as a reborn person, she will have other great uses for the money left over from buying things during the poisonous fog!
When money has almost lost its purchasing power and cannot buy food even with money, the government will introduce another contribution points system to be used as circulating currency.
When points were first introduced, you could redeem them for supplies, or money!
At that time, it would be too conspicuous to use supplies to exchange points, so Han Ying kept some money so that she could exchange it for points later.
In addition to buying speedboats and kayaks, Han Ying also bought some daily necessities and other items that were subject to purchase restrictions.
When Han Ying finished selecting the items and was about to pay, she saw some reminders.
No refunds or exchanges once payment has been made!
And there is an additional delivery fee!
Drone delivery costs 50 yuan per trip, but can only deliver items weighing less than 3 kilograms per trip.
How much supplies are there in three kilograms?
Buying 5 bottles of water and two or three kilograms of rice will be enough.
For items exceeding three kilograms, manual delivery is the only option.
The manual delivery fee is 200 yuan per trip!
This money is an additional subsidy for volunteers who distribute supplies.
After all, they are delivering the goods to you at the risk of being eaten by sharks, so it is understandable that they charge a higher delivery fee.
Han Ying was not surprised by these things, because it was the same in her previous life.
Otherwise, how could her savings of several million be spent in less than half a year?
Although she had a lot of money at that time, she still had to support Zhao Meihua's family of four!
When they came to me for help, they kept crying and saying they had no money.
They asked Han Ying to transfer hundreds of thousands of yuan to each of their mobile phones, and said they would pay Han Ying back after the poisonous fog passed. They even wrote an IOU!
After paying for the goods, Han Ying paid an additional 200 yuan for delivery fees.
After buying something, another interface popped up, which was a QR code.
It prompted me to join the group because the arrival time is uncertain and I will be notified in the group when the goods arrive.
Volunteers will use boats to deliver the supplies to the downstairs of each community, and then the supplies can be picked up from the windows in the corridors of each building.
Han Ying turned off her phone immediately after joining the group.
Online shopping channels are open, but not every household has electricity, and not everyone's mobile phones are still working.
Those whose mobile phones were damaged in the tsunami, or elderly people living alone who don't know how to buy online, are all extremely anxious.
They had no choice but to knock on the doors of residents on high floors with cash, begging them to charge their phones or help them buy something.
Maybe there are purchase limits on imported items, so who would be willing to buy them for others?
The residents below the 20th floor were all extremely anxious.
It was fine for those who had cell phones that could be charged, but those who didn't have cell phones or the elderly living alone knocked on the doors of all residents on the 20th floor and above one by one, making them sound deafening.
The doorbell also rang all day long, but everyone knew the current situation and no one wanted to pay attention to those who asked for help.
Of course, there were also some people whose supplies were not washed away by the tsunami and were tempted when they saw others offering high prices to buy them.
They would buy up to the upper limit of all the restricted food, keep the ones they wanted, and sell the ones they didn't want to those people at a higher price, just to make back some of the delivery fees.
Han Ying cooked 6 pots of rice in the afternoon. Half of them have been packed into lunch boxes, and the other half is still left.
After packing all the food, he left one box and put the rest into the space symbol.
I missed the boiled food made by the fat chef because I haven’t had it for several days.
Take out a big box of boiled beef, braised lion head, spicy shrimp, stir-fried pork with shiitake mushrooms, and some vegetables!
Han Ying cooked these vegetables herself because she felt that she couldn't let the fat chef waste his time cooking them.
Stir-fried vegetables are simple to make, so she would fry a few boxes and keep them when she has time. After all, she can’t eat meat and fish every day.
Finally, Han Ying took out another bottle of iced happy water.
Although the weather is cold, the iced happy water paired with boiled beef and spicy shrimp is absolutely delicious!
