Chapter 251 Pneumonia Patient
Although the pneumonia epidemic was rampant, the shop opened by Sun Qing and Liu Mengmeng was not greatly affected.
Liu Mengmeng had received news of the pneumonia epidemic a long time ago. She passed the news to Sun Qing and asked Sun Qing to get her a few gas masks to distribute to the store employees.
Then he sorted out the list of supplies and wrote it on a blackboard and hung it at the door of the store. If someone wanted to buy supplies, they didn't have to go into the store and squeeze in with others. They just looked at the list and waved to the clerk, who would come over to negotiate the price with them.
Of course, if they encounter customers who deliberately play tricks on the Ye family’s staff, Liu Mengmeng will give them a set of ancestral boxing skills.
For some distinguished members, Liu Mengmeng would send someone to personally deliver the list of supplies, and after the members had placed their orders, she would send someone to deliver the supplies to their doorsteps. She was all about thoughtful service.
Xia Xiaoman also received the list of supplies. Seeing the words "fresh mushrooms" on the list, she asked in surprise, "Are these fresh mushrooms grown artificially?"
The clerk outside the yard responded, "A customer in Yancheng has saved a batch of mushrooms and is now growing his own mushrooms to sell. The second in command bought all of his mushrooms and sent them to various stores for sale."
"Did that person keep the kind of mushrooms that can grow just by adding some water, or a small packet of mushroom seeds?"
The clerk said, "It's a small package of mushrooms. His family used to specialize in growing and selling mushrooms."
Xia Xiaoman was a little disappointed when she heard this. If it was a mushroom bag, it would be fine. She could put it in a cool place and sprinkle some water on it to plant it.
“How many fresh mushrooms are left in the store?”
"Before I came out, there were still two kilograms of mushrooms in the store. If you want to buy mushrooms, you can make a reservation. The Yancheng convoy will come in three days and deliver 20 kilograms of mushrooms."
Xia Xiaoman is not the only rich person in Fucheng. Many people who have sufficient supplies are willing to spend their supplies to buy a pound or two of fresh mushrooms to satisfy their cravings.
"Go back and check later. If the two kilograms of mushrooms are still available, I'll take them all. If not, forget it. Also, reserve another 50 kilograms of mushrooms for me. They don't have to be delivered all at once. I'll deliver them in multiple batches when your store has enough mushrooms."
The clerk responded, agreed on a price, got the supplies, and went back to get the mushrooms.
After about an hour, the clerk brought back two kilograms of mushrooms. These two kilograms of mushrooms were all oyster mushrooms. Xia Xiaoman would use oyster mushrooms to make soup, which tasted more delicious.
She took out half a pound of oyster mushrooms for dinner and threw the rest into the space. Just as she was about to light a fire to cook, Maodan suddenly stood up and rushed to the second floor, using his claws to pull at the door of the second-floor balcony.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman put down the work in his hands and ran up.
She thought it was her parents again, but when she opened the door, she found there was no one outside the yard.
Just when she thought Maodan was playing a joke on her, a group of people outside the community behind a fence started shouting excitedly with sticks and machetes. Some people even smashed the shops on the roadside, regardless of whether there were people living in them. Some even rushed to the fence of the community and smashed it.
Looking at the group of crazy people in front of him who were not wearing masks or face scarves, Xia Xiaoman's face was solemn. He went back to the house, put on a mask, took out the crossbow and stood guard by the balcony.
Soon, several security teams came over and blocked the group of lunatics. But the group was not afraid of the security teams at all. When they saw the security teams, they became even more excited and rushed to the security teams.
The security team was forced to retreat a distance, and seeing that these people refused to listen, they could only fire warning shots.
After hearing the gunshots, some of the group calmed down and wanted to leave. The people nearby saw someone leaving and chopped him down without saying a word.
After the death of someone, these crazy people became even more excited. They continued to rush forward ignoring the security team's guns, shouting that they wanted to kill the security team.
Those people entered Xia Xiaoman's blind spot, and she couldn't see anything. But from the increasingly dense gunshots and the shouting of those crazy people, she could guess that the battle was very fierce.
Just as I was considering whether to climb up to the roof to watch the excitement, I saw six or seven people running out of the war zone, climbing over the guardrail and entering the community.
Xia Xiaoman raised her crossbow and aimed at those people. Once they entered her shooting range, she would pull the trigger without hesitation.
Those people were not fools. When they looked up and saw Xia Xiaoman aiming a crossbow at them, they immediately changed their route and left behind.
About ten minutes later, three more people climbed over the wall and entered the community in a panic. These three people were not as conscious as the previous ones. When they saw Xia Xiaoman, a woman, they ran to the villa where Xia Xiaoman was without any hesitation.
Before they reached the villa, an arrow shot out and hit one of them in the chest. The other two saw this and left their companions behind and ran without hesitation.
Xia Xiaoman did not return to the house and stayed on the balcony for almost an hour. The gunshots outside gradually decreased and the body transport truck received the news and rushed over to transport the bodies.
Xia Xiaoman saw a security guard passing by the guardrail and shouted at him, telling him that someone had escaped into the community.
If she guessed correctly, those crazy people should all be infected with pneumonia. If they didn't notify the security guards to catch the pneumonia patients who escaped into the community, their community would most likely become a pneumonia disaster area.
Only after the security guards had captured the people who had escaped did Xia Xiaoman feel at ease to put away his crossbow and return to the house.
…
Two days later, a clerk from the Ye family store came to deliver mushrooms. Xia Xiaoman learned from her that the people who were smashing and beating things on the street that day were indeed patients with pneumonia.
These people heard the news from somewhere and thought they would die if they got the plague, and they felt hopeless, so they gathered together and escaped from the quarantine area, hoping to indulge themselves before they died.
After coming out of the quarantine area, they injured and killed many passers-by and security guards along the way. In addition, they were very disgusting and urinated and spit everywhere, spreading the disease everywhere with the mentality of not wanting to make others live a good life just because they themselves did.
The Ye family shop was also attacked. Fortunately, Liu Mengmeng was decisive enough. After knowing that this group of lunatics were smashing and looting everywhere on the street, she asked the staff to move the store's supplies to their residence as quickly as possible and all the staff to evacuate.
As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes, and now those crazy people are one of the barefoot ones. No matter how powerful the Ye family shop is, they dare not confront the other side head-on.
The store was smashed to pieces, but because the staff evacuated quickly, there were no casualties and the loss of materials was not great.
"Ms. Xia, Sister Liu asked me to tell you that the store needs to be renovated, so we can't deliver the goods to you during this period. After the store is renovated, we will deliver the goods to you again."
Xia Xiaoman responded, "I know. Let her be careful. If it doesn't work, just close the store first. Supplies are not as important as lives."
