Chapter 129: Setting up stalls even on smoggy days
After the Black Widow attacked Shuiyue Bay, the property department strengthened its protection, not only doubling the number of patrol officers, but also setting up a shooting team in a short period of time.
Fu Baiwei was successfully selected for the shooting team, but unfortunately, she failed to become the captain. She has good aim, but poor reaction ability, so she is not suitable to be the captain, but she is suitable to be the deputy captain, assisting the captain in arranging the team members.
With the shooting team and double patrol officers, the safety factor of Shuiyue Bay has increased sharply, and the villains around here dare not enter Shuiyue Bay without permission.
So...Xia Xiaoman started his bad life again.
In addition to regular boxing and crossbow training every day, she spends the rest of her time either cooking delicious meals or playing puzzles. Her life is leisurely and comfortable.
Most importantly, the solar generator can still be used in smog weather, but the power consumption is obviously much lower than before. However, as long as she does not use electrical appliances lavishly, it is still no problem to maintain basic living needs.
In the sultry weather, I enjoy the air conditioning, drink iced drinks, eat crispy chicken legs, and play stress-relieving jigsaw games. These days are more comfortable than before the natural disaster.
She had just finished one puzzle and was about to check the space to see if there were any other puzzles when suddenly someone called her name outside.
Xia Xiaoman peeked out through the crack in the door and saw that it was Wang Shijin. She opened the door and asked, "Captain Wang, what brings you here?"
Wang Shijin fanned himself with his hands and said, "The Ye family fleet is here, Sun Qing is looking for you, do you want to go out and meet her?"
Xia Xiaoman was surprised, "Sun Qing is here? How did she get here in such a heavy haze?"
"How else can I get here? I drove here."
"Isn't there any smog over there?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
"I heard from Sun Qing that there is no smog in the coastal areas of Yuancheng, but there is a little bit inland, but it is not serious. The smog gradually worsened on the way to our floating city."
On the third day of the smog, visibility was slowly increasing. At the beginning, visibility was about ten meters, and now it has increased to more than ten meters. At noon when the sun is strong, visibility can reach a maximum of twenty meters.
If Sun Qing and his friends drive carefully and take care not to take the wrong road, they will still be able to reach the floating city.
Xia Xiaoman arrived at the gate of the community. Sun Qing was directing his men to unload the seafood traded with Shuiyue Bay from the truck. Seeing Xia Xiaoman coming over, she pulled her aside.
"Look, this is the fish I brought specially for you. It's alive and transported here with sea water." Sun Qing said, pointing to a half-sealed bucket.
It's only these few days that the weather isn't so hot. If it was the weather like it was some time ago, the fish would have turned into fish soup when transported in seawater, and it would have been bubbling.
Xia Xiaoman opened the bucket and found seven or eight sea fish weighing three or four pounds in it. She couldn't recognize what kind of fish they were. After all, she couldn't afford sea fish with her previous financial situation. But these fish looked quite fat, so they should taste good.
"Thank you for sending me fish all the way here on a smoggy day."
Sun Qing smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? It's just a few fish. There are plenty of them in the sea. I'll get you some fresh lobsters and swimming crabs next week."
"Next week? You're coming next week? It's not safe to drive in this weather!"
"It's a bit unsafe. On our way to the floating city, someone took advantage of the haze and blurred vision and deliberately lay under our wheels to try to scam us." Then... without hesitation, she had someone drive over him.
Since they wanted to die, she would give them a ride.
After struggling in the troubled times for a long time, Sun Qing had unknowingly put away his soft heart, became decisive and ruthless, and gradually moved closer to Ye Xiaojie.
"Since the road is so dangerous, do you still plan to come next week?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Sun Qing chuckled, "If we give up reselling seafood because of a little danger, then our Ye family fleet will starve to death sooner or later."
"Don't worry! I always bring a lot of people with me every time I go out. Even if there is danger, I can escape in time. Nothing will happen."
"By the way, I have something to trouble you with." Sun Qing lowered her voice and said, "When I went upstairs to look for the coach, I heard Xiao Zheyu say that you had a pickup truck. Where did you get it from? Can you help me get one too? The price is negotiable, as long as the quality is good."
Xia Xiaoman glanced at her sideways and said, "I was wondering why you were so kind to bring me a live fish. It turns out you were waiting for me here."
Sun Qing smiled flatteringly, "Xiaojie and I are planning to start our own business, and we need a car for the first step. Most of the cars in Yuancheng were washed away in the tsunami, and getting a car now is harder than climbing to the sky."
For the sake of those live fish, Xia Xiaoman said, "Go to the No. 3 trading point in Chenyang Community and find a staff member named Chen Guangli. He was the one who helped me get my car."
"But I passed by that car repair shop a while ago and found that it was on fire. I don't know if there are any cars that can be driven."
After getting the news about the car, Sun Qing said gratefully, "Okay, I got it. If you can get the car, I'll ask Xiaojie to give you a box of her treasured fish maw when I get back!"
Xia Xiaoman waved her hand and said, "Let's get the car first!"
Sun Qing nodded, chatted with her for a few more words, and then went back to work. After unloading the seafood that needed to be traded with Shuiyue Bay, he directed his men to drive to the place where they had stayed last time.
The smog only temporarily stopped people from walking when it first appeared. In just a few days, everyone in the floating city had become accustomed to it. People went to work, people set up stalls, and people who wanted to rob took advantage of the smog to continue robbing.
The day after Sun Qing arrived at Fucheng, she started selling seafood at a stall. Due to the smog, the number of people buying seafood was slightly less than last time, but seafood was still very popular, especially seaweed and kelp. Two kilograms of dried kelp, after being soaked, was enough for a family of four to eat for a day, which was more cost-effective than eating white rice.
After a few days, most of the seafood they brought was sold out, and there was a little left. Since they had no time to sell it, they could sell it to Shuiyue Bay at a low price.
After dealing with the seafood in her hands, Sun Qing found Chen Guangli based on the information given by Xia Xiaoman.
When Chen Guangli learned that she was introduced by Xia Xiaoman, he didn't beat around the bush and directly took people to find Brother Ponytail.
Meanwhile, Fu Baiwei heard from somewhere that Xia Xiaoman had a few live fish. Xia Xiaoman had just returned home with a bucket full of fish when she ran over following the smell.
"Xiaoman, I heard that you have some live fish. Can you sell me one? I'll exchange this with you." Fu Baiwei opened the bag, and inside were potatoes the size of fists.
Xia Xiaoman glanced at it and showed no interest. "I don't really like potatoes. Is there anything else?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Baiwei immediately explained, "Xiaoman, these are not ordinary potatoes. They are a new type of potatoes that have just been harvested from indoor planting. They are drought-resistant and heat-resistant, have a short maturity period, and high yield."
"This kind of potato only needs to keep the soil moist during the seedling stage. After the seedling stage, only a little water is needed every day to thrive. In three months, it can mature and yield a good harvest."
"You can keep this bag of potatoes and plant them. If you plant them well, you can harvest at least 500 kilograms of potatoes in two months."
