Chapter 13 Chapter 13
Finally, Ye Xun found an errand boy in the same building, a young man who had a kayak at home. He had bought it originally and planned to go rafting, but he didn't expect to put it on hold because of the heavy rain. However, the kayak still came in handy.
The purchase list that Ye Xun gave was mainly vegetables and plant nutrient solutions, as well as some storable canned goods and common vegetable seeds. Those with a good shelf life would be given priority, and if both the quality and quantity were good, extra tips could be provided.
The young man with the kayak is called Xu Feng. This is the second order he has taken because of the high errand fee. The previous seller was rather stingy, so he risked his life to purchase for them. He even had to bargain with them and finally bargained down to 450. If he hadn't said that he didn't want to do business and would just buy the food himself, he probably would have cut the price even lower.
The nearest purchasing point is in an office building, where exhibitions are often held and supplies are quite abundant. Ye Xun can basically find what he wants here, but the price is slightly higher than before.
Normally the round trip only took an hour’s drive, but Xu Feng didn’t return until dark.
He was lucky this time, as he bought almost all the edible seeds at the exhibition. Now, if you throw these seeds on the street, no one will look at them, so they are almost sold at a half-buy, half-give-away rate.
Ye Xun was really happy when he received this batch of seeds. These were all improved varieties with high yields, short growth cycles, and good survival abilities, which were incomparable to the ordinary seeds in his space.
As a tip, Ye Xun took out two cans of beef, a small bundle of vegetables, and three duck eggs from what he had received.
Giving money is not of much use. Now it can barely buy some food, but in the future it will not be enough to burn in the fire.
Xu Feng would come out to run errands, and he naturally has a smart mind. There is no end to this flood, and food is more valuable than money.
He was extremely grateful to Ye Xun's family and called them brothers. "Brother! Next time you run errands for me, call me and I'll give you a 20% discount!"
Ye Xun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as he suddenly had a younger brother who was taller and stronger than him.
"What's the situation outside now?" Ye Xun asked Xu Feng.
That's definitely not good.
"Several houses have been robbed, and all of them were committed by acquaintances. There's no point calling the police now. If the police can't come, the robbers will become more rampant," Xu Feng suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Ye Xun, "Two families downstairs have their eyes on your house. The scene you made when you bought things was too big."
That’s all he can say. All he can do is give some hints.
Ye Xun was naturally grateful for his kindness, and went back to the house to get him a bottle of hot sauce.
Having had a great harvest, Xu Feng left with satisfaction.
The saying of preventing fire, theft and neighbors is not without reason. Ye Xun felt that the stairwell needed to be well protected.
On that day, he entered the storage room and pretended to look for something while taking out the customized Class A explosion-proof door from the space.
It is a perfect match for the size of the corridor security door and the elevator door. It is a bit difficult to install this in the elevator and requires welding. Unfortunately, he only has the welding tools.
After struggling to drag one of the doors out, Ye Xun collapsed on the sofa. He hadn't expected that the door would be so heavy after being thickened, and he hadn't expected that he would be so weak.
He couldn't move the remaining doors, so he called Wang Yu, but he was not much better than him, so he could only knock on Qin Wei's door.
"Come out and help me, hehe." Ye Xun was also a little embarrassed to expose his weak side in front of others.
Qin Wei looked at the heavy door outside and couldn't help but sigh at the magical nature of his employer, who really had everything.
He walked forward and lifted the explosion-proof door easily. "What are you going to do with this door?"
Ye Xun stood up and pounded his waist. "Carry it to the corridor outside. It's getting chaotic outside now. We have to install another door and seal the stairs and elevator."
Qin Wei agreed with his approach. Today Ye Xun asked someone to purchase a lot of things. It was inevitable that he would be targeted. Safety measures must be taken, otherwise his house would be robbed.
The two worked together and spent some time to install the two doors. The door at the elevator entrance has a different structure, with a small A4-sized window on it, which can be opened when someone visits.
The noise was so loud that it startled Wang Yu who was taking a nap inside. She came out yawning.
"Brother, what are we going to eat today?"
I originally planned to have boiled fish, but now I plan to keep a low profile and just stir-fry a few light dishes to get by.
Qin Wei was the chef, and Ye Xun was helping him. The duo worked faster and soon four dishes and a soup were ready.
The soup is made of radish and pork ribs, and there are four dishes, two meat and two vegetable. It is not very good, but the portion is large and filling.
Compared with those families who have been out of food for a long time, this is already very good.
The three of them were halfway through their meal when there was a knock on the newly installed door at the elevator entrance.
Ye Xun stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
I went to the room and got a Tang sword for self-defense.
I opened the small window on the steel door and saw a young, unfamiliar face. It was someone I didn't recognize.
Ye Xun did not open the door, but asked the other party about his purpose through the thick steel plate, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
The young man is a new soldier. He came here to do population registration today. He didn’t expect that someone would block the elevator door. He thought people were too wary.
The young soldier showed his military ID and said, "Hello, comrade! I am here to register my population. This is my ID. I have no ill intentions. Please open the door."
After saying this, he revealed the view behind him, indicating that he was alone.
Only then did Ye Xun open the security door.
"I'm sorry, there have been a lot of home break-ins recently, and my family and I are worried, so we installed a door here."
Ye Xun explained.
The soldier quickly said it was okay, "It's okay, it's okay. We should always be on guard against others. You did nothing wrong."
He smelled the aroma of food coming from the house. This family had plenty of food, so it was right for them to be cautious.
He took out the registration form from the waterproof document bag and conducted an official investigation. "How many people are living in your home now?"
"Three."
"What is their relationship to you?"
"My cousin and," Qin Wei made up an identity, "and my cousin."
"Okay, please fill in your name and ID card on this form."
Ye Xun couldn't remember anything except his own and his parents' ID cards, so he had to call out the two people who were eating inside.
The soldier saw a beautiful woman who was eye-catching and a strong and handsome man coming out. The family had good genes, both handsome men and beautiful women.
The two of them wrote their messages on pieces of paper. Wang Yu went back to continue eating, while Qin Wei stayed behind, standing by the door like he was sitting on a hill. His face was expressionless, and his large body made him look quite intimidating.
The soldiers had never felt such great pressure from the instructor. The last question became lighter and lighter in the eyes of the man in front of them: "Do you accept the government's arrangement for refugees to live in your house? I will answer this question with "No".
"Thank you, comrade." After expressing his gratitude, Ye Xun opened the door to see the guest off.
Now they had no appetite to eat. The three of them sat around the coffee table, and Ye Xun kept tapping the table with his index finger. "Do you have any opinions about the refugees who are about to move in?"
Qin Wei was the first to speak, "No matter how many people come here, it won't affect our lives, as long as they don't have any bad intentions."
Don't move? Of course not, they want to live too.
The government has no surplus food now, as it has all been destroyed by the floods. It will definitely be given to leaders and rich people first, while ordinary people can only eat rotten vegetable leaves.
Ye Xun also knew that once someone arrived, the tranquility in the building would be broken. This was just a flood, and the high temperature and extreme cold that would follow would be really torturous.
From that day on, the iron gate at the main entrance was connected to electricity. Currently, the power generated by the five solar energy units is more than enough to power all the electrical appliances at home. Ye Xun wants to make plans for the future.
On the twentieth day, the rain suddenly intensified and the water level reached the seventh floor overnight.
At this time, no one was willing to come out to volunteer. A wave could easily overturn the kayak, and the daily reward was only a few pancakes, which was not worth risking their lives.
Now only soldiers are responsible for delivering relief food, which is rice soaked in water. It tastes bad, but it can fill the stomach.
Later, the amount of rice began to decrease, and these people began to panic. They cursed the government for inaction and criticized their neighbors for being unkind and unwilling to help them.
There are more and more robberies happening.
Ye Xun was not clear about what had happened in the past few days, or rather, he did not care. He started to tinker with his apartment again.
Finally, at his request, Qin Wei gave up his room and moved in with him.
Although it was a request, Ye Xun didn't actually put much effort into the process. He just always stood beside Qin Wei when he was cooking or exercising, staring at him with his big eyes, without saying a word.
After enduring for three days, Qin Wei surrendered. He originally thought that Ye Xun would use various benefits such as a contract or growing vegetables to persuade him, but he didn't expect this to happen.
The other person was almost squatting next to him when he went to the toilet. He was really scared.
Ye Xun said that any method that can achieve the goal is a good method.
