Chapter 229 Return after use
"Ladies first." Chu Wanfu took a step back.
Xia Yan waved his hand, "There's no need for this kind of thing in the apocalypse. You spoke first, so naturally you should ask first."
There is no need to get bogged down in such trivial matters and waste both parties' time.
Chu Wanfu nodded and got straight to the point. "Can the restaurant still be open and serve food? They only drank sugar water, which is not enough energy."
Surprisingly, she had the same idea as him. Xia Yan pretended to think for a few seconds and then said, "Okay, I'll open the door for another hour."
"For food, I need millet porridge and steamed buns. Can they be brought here? I'll send someone to get them, and the cost can be deducted from my points card."
Chu Wanfu's real purpose was to allow these survivors to have a hot meal, and Xia Yan would not deliberately impose any restrictions.
"No problem, I can put it in a thermos and return it to the store when I'm done. Do you need anything else?"
"That's enough."
The accommodation problem for his team was easy to solve. There were several vacant villas in the base. When Yang ran away, he didn't take many things with him, which was convenient for him.
Xia Yan shrugged, "Then arrange for someone to go with me."
He called a space ability user and said a few simple words to him. The man followed Xia Yan.
The two of them walked through the crowd and went down the stairs back to the first floor. The survivors who had gathered together were resting with their heads down. She drove quietly back to the restaurant.
As soon as Xia Yan entered the door, he asked Xiaowan to place an order for 500 servings of millet porridge and 500 baskets of steamed buns.
She bought five large commercial insulated buckets in the mall and asked Xiaowan to pour the porridge into them. Then she took out a stack of food-grade plastic packaging bags from the checkout counter, intending to use them to pack the dumplings.
Because of the large quantity and the urgency, she went upstairs and called all the employees down. Together with the people sent by Chu Wanfu, the four of them packed very quickly.
As for the fee, she collected it directly in the background.
The psychic put the packed buns directly into the space, saving Xia Yan from having to prepare boxes.
On the other side, Xiaowan and Qing Mingzi quickly packed the millet porridge and put all the psychics into the space.
"Boss Xia, I'm going back first." The man with superpowers didn't hesitate, pushed open the door and rushed into the hospital against the wind and snow.
Xiaowan cleaned up the floor and was about to close the door when Xia Yan stopped her.
"Wait an hour. They close at 11 o'clock."
During this time, two captains actually came to buy things, but they didn't buy food. Instead, they came to ask her if she had any bedding and hot water bottles for sale?
After asking in detail, Xia Yan found out that the first team had been living in the villa after returning, lying on bare bed boards. The bedding in the space had been taken away and given to those who were more seriously injured.
It was not until someone brought them dry clothes that they realized Boss Xia was in the store. Thinking that he might have these things for sale, they came here to ask.
Xia Yan said, "I have some bedding here. Is cotton okay?"
"Okay! Cotton ones are best, they keep you warm!"
"One hundred points for one set, how much does it cost?"
“50 sets will be enough.”
They probably really didn't expect that Boss Xia had the goods, so after a discussion, they raised five fingers.
"We need 50 more hot water bottles."
"A total of 5400 points, thank you for your patronage."
As for food, they didn't buy any, but maybe they already had some food in their hands.
After this deal was done, no one came again. She stared at the snow outside for a long time.
When the time came, Xiaowan locked the door on time. Xia Yan stretched, walked through the corridor and returned to the house to rest.
Go to bed early and get up early, there is still a lot to do tomorrow.
...
"Xiongxiong, which vacuum cleaner do you think is good?"
Xia Yan took out all his inventory and scattered it on the ground.
Xiongxiong stood opposite, blinking and pointing at something casually. "This one, the color suits the boss very well."
Xia Yan said, "...It doesn't have to suit me, it's you who needs it. Boss, I've expanded my business, and I got a shop for free. You can accompany me to clean up later."
"Congratulations, boss! You're awesome!"
Xiong Xiong made a little heart shape with his hands, and biubiu was launching.
Xia Yan stretched out his hand and took them all in.
This kind of boring thing is just to tease Xiongxiong when no one is around, which is totally inconsistent with her cold appearance and sophisticated boss image.
Xiongxiong was so happy that he carried a vacuum cleaner and followed her with his tail wagging, jumping and skipping as he walked. His carefree look made others feel irritated.
In the branch store, Xia Yan took out the large down jacket prepared for Xiongxiong and let it wear it outside, and then let it put on an isolation suit to prevent its fur from getting covered in dust and turning it into a dirty bear.
"That's enough, big white bear." Xia Yan patted its bulging belly with satisfaction, zipped up his own pants, and pushed the door open to walk out.
Today is a nice day, no wind, and it feels much warmer than yesterday. Then I looked at the temperature, it was minus 25°C.
The snow lay in oddly shaped piles on street corners, but every surface was silky smooth.
There was a key in the door next door. Xia Yan opened it and put it in his pocket.
Without Xia Yan's instructions, Xiong Xiong hummed and moaned as he worked actively. The power of the industrial vacuum cleaner should not be underestimated. Wherever it went, not a speck of dust was left, revealing the grayish-white cement floor underneath.
Xiongxiong also vacuumed all the walls, and his work efficiency was fast and high.
Xia Yan returned to the branch and looked through the mall, wondering what to sell.
Thick clothes are definitely the first choice. Thermal underwear can also be prepared in two styles for men and women. For daily necessities, thermoses are more popular than thermos cups. There are two or three styles of sanitary products, and then some four-piece bed sets, hot water bottles and other things, etc.
The price doesn’t have to be too high, the practicality is better, the style is not picky, and the largest size is available.
Xia Yan suddenly had an idea and decided to open a grocery store. She would sell a few miscellaneous items and hang a message board. She would prepare whatever was needed.
Even previously dried goods can be sold here.
Just as I was thinking about it, Xiongxiong knocked on the glass outside and said that the cleaning had been done.
She rushed over excitedly and found that the room was indeed clean.
This is her first time opening a store outside the system, so it’s new and she’s ready to tidy up.
First of all, the ground is bare and uneven. It needs to be fixed.
First lay a layer of foam mat, then cover it with a layer of floor leather, fix it and place a circle of shelves around it, allowing Xiongxiong to arrange the clothes according to his preferences.
The cashier desk is placed at the back of the house, where the overall situation can be controlled at a glance. In front of it are two rows of shelves for small items.
Then there was the issue of electricity. Xiong Xiong shook his head and said he couldn't do it because the hotel's electricity was not shared with outsiders.
There was no other way, Xia Yan could only hang up a solar lamp and wait for the remaining power to run out. When it could be used next time depended on when the sun came out.
There is another question, which is who to send to look after the store.
Xiongxiong was looking after the main store, Xiaowan was looking after the branch store, and Zhikang was looking after the safe zone and serving as a chef in the outdoor restaurant. No one was idle.
The only one who was free was herself.
NONONO, this goes against her principle of playing badly.
If that's the case...Xia Yan looked outside the door.
