Chapter 037: Selling Industrial Filtered Water
The big pot of rice at Jingma's workplace at noon was full of sand, and the rice had to be swallowed directly without chewing. Jingma's teeth broke while eating the big pot of rice, so Jingshu decided to prepare it herself and bring it to her. This had never happened in her previous life.
"Aren't they domesticated? Our poultry don't come into contact with the outside world, and as long as ventilation and temperature are maintained, there's no problem. When Grandpa comes, I'll have to work with Dad to convert the chicken coop into a double-layer one, otherwise it's too small."
"I see. Hey, although the news reports say some farms incinerate dead poultry, more farms make all kinds of braised meat and air-dried meat from chickens, cattle and pigs that died of heat and disease and sell them to the market. What a bunch of beasts!" Jing's father felt sick when he thought of the countless dead chickens floating in the black water in the big boiler.
In fact, it is good enough to have something to eat. Now the large-scale death of poultry due to heat is not a serious plague. It will be serious if the poultry that cannot be disposed of in two or three months are piled up and rotten corpses and various rotten insects and maggots break out.
Not eating meat in the early stage, relying on eating maggots in the later stage, how pretentious.
"I don't dare to eat poultry meat anymore. Vegetable prices have gone up a lot, and grain prices have also gone up. I hope these dark days will end in a dozen days. Then we can relax." Jing's mother said with a headache.
I’m afraid the dark days will never end. The end of the world has just begun, but no one realizes it.
After seeing Jing's mother off to work, Jingshu took a pen and wrote down what happened in the first year of the apocalypse in her mind in order to make corresponding preparations. Mainly because ten years had passed, Jingshu had forgotten some things.
In the first month of the apocalypse in her previous life, Jingshu stayed at home with the air conditioner on to do live broadcasts, while Jing's father and mother went to work as usual. Half of the water in Wucheng was muddy, so Jing's father used his connections to buy a batch of mineral water at a high price, but unfortunately he only gave away a small half of it, which led to a shortage of water later.
It is now January 14th. In a few days, there will be an incident where dead fish will float in the water due to high temperatures and completely pollute the water source. When the month is up, power supply will be restricted and it will be difficult to refuel or refill gas tanks.
The water supply was cut off for a month and a half, and we had to rely on water trucks, with each household receiving a limited amount.
The darkness of the past two months hasn't passed yet. The nation is in a state of panic, with food scrambles starting. However, with power outages, increasingly hot weather, water shortages, restrictions on food purchases, and dwindling supplies, within a few months, a dark half-year of organized robbery, murder, and dehumanizing violence has erupted...
Jingshu bit the pen, so her current shortcoming is her absolute fighting strength. She has become much stronger through the spiritual spring, and can definitely knock down an adult with one punch, but the old master was beaten to death by random punches, let alone her who has no basic skills?
He quickly wrote down his plan. He had to get a gun at least before the dark six months came. To prevent multiple robberies, he had to prepare a killing device in the villa.
To prevent personal sneak attacks, robberies, vendettas, etc., you must always be prepared with foolproof life-saving chips. No matter what weapons the opponent uses, you must ensure that you are protected in an instant and have the ability to fight back to avoid tragedies in previous lives.
Jingshu's only bargaining chip is the absolute control over the Rubik's Cube space. So how can she use the Rubik's Cube space to save her life?
Beep! A message from the owners' group interrupted Jingshu's thoughts.
The supermarket owner, Mr. Bai, said: "Everyone, I've bought some mineral water, 20 yuan per bottle. If you want it, leave a message and tell me your building number, and I'll deliver it to you."
Young Lady, I Have a Baby No. 13: "Boss Bai still has a way to get water. Awesome! What brand is this so expensive?"
The white boss of the supermarket: "Locally produced."
Then everyone in the group started scrambling for water. Now, large supermarkets limit the amount of water each person can buy, but the new water that arrives every day is still sold out in a short time. The purified water produced by major water plants cannot keep up with the consumption of the people.
The water from the tap has too much sand and dirt, so it would definitely not work if I installed just one filter. I would have to install six like Jingshu did.
It is okay to use soil for domestic water, but drinking water will be full of sand no matter how it is settled, which is unbearable for many people and has led to the current scarcity of mineral water.
Jingshu recalled that in the early days, some people used industrially filtered water to fill mineral water bottles and sold them through small vendors in order to make money. Many people suffered from diarrhea and metal poisoning after drinking it, and those with poor physical constitutions were even sick, which was more serious than eating diseased chicken.
I searched online and found that many local waters are
Industrial filtered water, I took a screenshot and sent it to the owners’ group to remind everyone to check it before purchasing.
Supermarket owner Bai: "Xiao Shu Villa District, you're not buying anything, what are you talking about? I used my connections to buy the goods for 19 yuan a bottle, and I earned 1 yuan hard. You post this kind of picture to compare me with the small vendors who make huge profits. What's the point!"
Luxury Car Dealer No. 5: "Boss, ignore her. Hurry and bring us some water."
Luo Hao No. 13: "That's right, the villa area is amazing."
Wind No. 3: "Local products are still so expensive. It must be industrial filtered water. Can't it be cheaper?"
Young Lady, I Have a Baby No. 13: "Xiao Shu reminded me well, I have a baby and I can't take any risks, I don't want any water."
Then a few more people didn't want any more, and the angry supermarket owner said, "Xiao Shu Villa District, I'll remember you. Don't come here to buy water or other things in the future."
Wang Qiqi No. 13: "Alright, everyone, stop arguing. Xiaoshu Villa District is right. Everyone should check before buying anything."
The group became much quieter. Jingshu was just giving a kind reminder. She wasn't trying to stop them from dying. It was good enough if they could take care of themselves in the apocalypse.
After a while, Jing's father also saw the group message.
Jing'an Villa District: "Supermarket Boss Bai, is this small supermarket at the entrance of the community yours? [Smile]"
Supermarket boss Bai: "Yes, you want water?"
Jing'an Villa District: "Okay, got it. [Smile][Smile]"
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature in Wucheng was as high as 4. Jingshu sat in the police hall, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking refrigerated orange juice, ignoring the drooling eyes of various criminal suspects around her.
"So you knew in advance that the supermarket owner was selling industrial water and reminded the members of the owners' group, but you were insulted by the supermarket owner. Your father then went to the supermarket owner to argue with him and asked him why he was selling industrial water, which caused a conflict. Your father was acting in normal self-defense, right?" the police officer confirmed again.
Jingshu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
The truth of the matter is that her father suddenly went to the supermarket and beat the supermarket owner so badly that he could not take care of himself. Then the supermarket owner's wife called the police. When the police arrived and were about to arrest Jing's father, Jing Shu came to the rescue. The neighbor named Luo Hao drank the water and suffered from metal poisoning soon after. He sent a voice message for help in the group, and everyone knew that the supermarket owner was selling industrial filtered water.
Jingshu took the opportunity to collude with Jing's father to give a false testimony.
"You did a great job. We will severely punish those who resell industrial water at high prices. We will confiscate all his supplies and conduct labor reform. In view of your courageous behavior, this will be recorded in your identity file. You can rest for a while and wait for your father to come out." The police officer saluted and left with the confession.
