Chapter 48 Supermarket Shopping
Yongfeng Supermarket is very large, with areas for liquor and beverages, non-staple food, daily necessities, stationery and sports supplies, cosmetics, detergents, grains and oils, fruits and vegetables, aquatic products, meat, and alcohol and tobacco.
Among them, the grain and oil area, non-staple food area, fruit and vegetable area, aquatic product area, and meat area have the most people, followed by the wine and beverage area.
The remaining daily necessities, stationery and sports supplies, cosmetics area, detergent area, tobacco and alcohol area.
Xu Sichen was not short of supplies, so he didn't go over to compete with them.
Push the cart towards the direction with fewer people.
Passing by the grocery area, the shelves were basically empty, with nothing left.
The two bags of potato chips and a bottle of Sprite were at the very back of the shelf, so no one probably noticed them, which is why she got lucky.
Going to the daily necessities area and the detergent area, there were still a lot of things left.
I took two tubes of toothpaste, a bottle of shower gel, two large bags of toilet paper, a bag of tissue paper, more than ten packs of sanitary napkins, and five boxes of batteries.
Well, I haven’t bought any candles, so I’ll grab a few extra packs and put them in the trolley.
She prepared a lot of generators and fuel in the space, enough for air conditioning, not to mention lighting, and she really didn't think of candles.
She had enough supplies, but she still had to pretend to be well-off, otherwise she would be in trouble.
During this time, she saw many things that were not recorded on her list and had no space for them, such as student supplies, teaching tools, office supplies, surveying and mapping supplies, painting supplies, four treasures of the study, entertainment supplies, musical instruments, sports equipment, etc.
This is the good thing about shopping in the supermarket.
You can always find something that is not on your shopping list, and the process of replenishing it gives you a sense of happiness as if you have found a treasure.
Suddenly there was a noise from the front and someone screamed.
It seems like someone is fighting.
Xu Sichen listened to the noise but had no intention of going forward to watch the fun.
The police arrived quickly and apprehended and took away the two men, who were bleeding from their heads.
No one knew how they started fighting. The customers who were picking things at the same shelf didn't hear it either. They suddenly started fighting, smashing each other on the head with drink bottles.
"It's so scary, like crazy."
"Tsk, tsk, it's all blood. I can see it needs stitches."
Xu Sichen looked at the winding bloodstains dripping on the ground with a cold expression.
She knew in her heart that this would be the norm in the future.
Due to the isolation and siege, many people have developed psychological problems.
Two complete strangers, perhaps just a casual glance at each other, may suddenly trigger a bloody fight.
Xu Sichen tried his best to avoid crowded crowds and hang out in places with fewer people.
There were few people in the tobacco and alcohol area and the shelves were full, so Xu Sichen bought a little more.
Although she herself does not smoke or drink, cigarettes and alcohol are another kind of hard currency in the end times.
I bought more than a dozen packs of Zhonghua, Yellow Crane Tower, Liqun, Yunyan, Double Happiness, Yunnan Yunnan, Golden Leaf, Huangshan, and Guiyan cigarettes.
She wanted to buy them all, but the staff didn't allow her.
The same goes for wine.
Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, Yanghe, Fenjiu, Jiannanchun, Kouzijiao, Langjiu, Shuijingfang, Tuopai Shede, Xifeng Liquor, Site Liquor, Gujinggong Liquor, Hengshui Laobai Gan, Niulanshan, Jiangxiaobai, Xijiu, Jinjiu, Jinsha, Red Star, etc., all are purchased according to the maximum quantity allowed by the supermarket.
It’s a pity that the legendary Moutai is not available. It is said that you have to draw lots to buy Moutai now.
Xu Sichen wondered whether he should go to the tobacco shop to take a look.
Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.
At this moment, Xu Sichen came to the Chinese herbal medicine counter in the supermarket.
Planning to buy some cordyceps, bird's nest, and sea cucumber.
After all, it is a counter in the supermarket, the space is small and the variety of products is limited.
"Oh, Xiao Xu, you want to buy bird's nest. Please bring some for me as well. I still have to buy seasonings and I'm afraid I won't have enough time." Qian Li said excitedly when she saw Xu Sichen.
Xu Sichen: "How much do you want?"
"Five boxes, please. Let me pay first and I'll pay you when I get back. Thank you!" He said, pushing the cart away.
Xu Sichen smiled and asked the counter staff for five more boxes of bird's nest.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Sichen paid the bill and went to the square to gather.
In just over three hours, the water level actually rose a little bit and reached Xu Sichen's calves.
Not long after, Sun Caifeng and Qian Li came over with bags of various sizes.
After filling the kayak, several people put their things on it, and the kayak sank immediately.
"That won't work. There's so much stuff and it's too heavy. It'll get even heavier once you get on it. Don't let the kayak sink halfway."
Xu Sichen suggested buying a few plastic buckets, putting the things in them, and then pulling them with the kayak.
Anyway, you can’t put all of them on the kayak.
Otherwise, by the time they got on, the kayak would probably have sunk to the bottom.
Qian Li's eyes turned and she immediately said, "I'll help you watch your things here, you guys go to the supermarket to buy them."
"No, I'll go buy it!" Sun Caifeng suggested: "Xiao Xu, you go with Qian Li. After all, there are so many things and so many people coming and going. We should be careful."
There were still a lot of large basins left in the supermarket, and soon she came back with six large baby bathtubs.
The people around who had bought a lot of things were worrying about how to get back. When they saw what Xu Sichen and his group were doing, they all ran back to the supermarket to buy big basins.
Soon, the big basins were gone, and they bought all the small basins and buckets to store things.
When night fell, Xu Sichen and the other two returned to the community.
Many owners gathered on the second-floor staircase landing, anxiously waiting through the windows for their family members who had gone out shopping to return home.
Among them are the families of Sun Caifeng and Qian Li.
I was so happy to see them come back and waved to them quickly.
"Why did you take so long? If you didn't come back, I would have gone out to look for you." A middle-aged man with a plump figure took the things in Sun Caifeng's hand and said with a worried look on his face.
"You mustn't do that. You don't know how deep the water is out there. We were terrified even when we were kayaking." Sun Caifeng handed over the things in her hand, turned around and saw Xu Sichen staring at her husband and son. She smiled and introduced them to Xu Sichen, "Xiao Xu, this is my husband, Wei Tianxiang, and my son, Wei Mingliang."
After saying that, she turned around and introduced her to her husband and son, "This is Xiao Xu. She lives on the top floor, the 12th floor. She just moved in not long ago. Xiao Liang, you should call Xiao Xu Sister. This time, thanks to Xiao Xu, otherwise our family would really be out of food."
Wei Mingliang looked at the beautiful older sister in front of him and shyly called out, "Sister Xu."
Xu Sichen came back to his senses from his daze, then smiled and greeted: "Hello, Xiaoliang!"
Hello, Xiaoliang, long time no see!
Looking at the young boy in school uniform in front of him, Xu Sichen's memory went back to his previous life when he was kicked out by the Cheng family and had to live in a shantytown.
