Afu's truck is too big. In the city, it is far less agile than a small van. If an earthquake were to happen and he were stuck in the middle of the road, his truck would not even be able to turn around.
So he just talked to the supplier about this issue. The supplier's meaning was rather tactful; they preferred to use small vans with good maneuverability for delivery.
Ah Fu naturally had no food to eat.
At this moment, Hua Mi extended her olive branch.
She smiled sweetly, like a clever little fox.
"Uncle, it's like this, as you know, I've always had a supply channel for mineral water bottles. If you could help me with deliveries, or sell or rent your truck to me, that would be fine."
Upon hearing this, Afu immediately beamed with joy.
"Aren't you worried that my truck is too big and might have trouble turning around if it encounters obstacles on the road?"
"It's alright. If you encounter any obstacles, just let me know. I have acquaintances in the Xiangcheng clearing team."
Hua Mi patted her chest proudly, and to prove that she really had connections, she even dragged Gong Yi out with her.
"Do you know Gong Yi, the captain of the rescue team? He's an old acquaintance of mine, we're very close."
"Captain Gong, Captain Gong is a celebrity. He used to appear on TV all the time. I heard he was seconded to the rescue team from a special garrison. I guess he'll get promoted when he goes back to his garrison after this earthquake."
The supplier joined in at the right time, no wonder he thought Hua Mi could get so many mineral water bottles and buy tens of thousands of bottles of mineral water at once.
It turned out that Captain Gong was standing behind them.
As a result, the suppliers began to look at Hua Mi with new respect and became much more friendly and courteous.
Hua Mi smiled and wisely refrained from delving deeper into the topic.
Her attitude was perceived by others as "being secretive and unspeakable".
Looking at her, she's so young and beautiful, and Captain Gong is so handsome and promising, it's not hard to imagine the relationship between the two of them.
Because Gong Yi's name was mentioned, the group became much easier to talk to. Soon, Hua Mi delivered the empty mineral water bottles and ordered another 100,000 bottles of mineral water from the water factory.
Because she has a supply of mineral water bottles, the water plant must prioritize producing water for her, and only after her water supply is exhausted can others take their turn.
This time, Hua Mi doesn't need to wait for the water to be ready; she can simply leave and have A Fu deliver the goods to her.
After giving Ah Fu a few more instructions, Hua Mi rode her flatbed cart and left the water treatment plant.
She wasn't in a hurry to go back to the supermarket, since going back would mean walking through a pile of ruins to get out again.
Hua Mi decided to go out of the city to pick up her instant noodles at the express delivery station.
Because the current logistics network is still usable, hardworking deliverymen will not leave their posts unless they can no longer persevere.
After all, logistics can guarantee the most basic needs of people's livelihood.
So on her way to pick up the package, Hua Mi placed another order online for 10,000 portable gas canisters and 100 portable portable gas stoves.
After calculating the remaining money and deducting the amount to be paid to the water treatment plant, Hua Mi bought another thousand sets of outdoor cookware and another thousand sets of folding serrated knives in three sizes (large, medium, and small).
All of them only filled in one address: Xiangcheng Express Station (Please be sure to call to notify us. If you cannot reach us by phone, please drop it off at the nearest station and pick it up yourself).
This range is quite broad. In situations where there is no signal, the great postal service couriers will assume that as long as it's a courier station in Xiangcheng, it's fine, and they won't send Hua Mi's packages back.
The instant noodles that Hua Mi ordered online were delivered to the nearest market town to the city gate.
But the closest one... the distance is a bit uncertain.
It took Hua Mi more than an hour to get there on a flatbed cart!
I don't know why, maybe it's because I've been too tired lately, but today Hua Mi feels especially hungry.
Hua Mi, who usually has good physical strength, was almost starving when she arrived in the town.
The town has not yet been affected by the earthquake, and everything seems calm, although people are constantly talking about the recent frequent earthquakes in Xiangcheng.
Hua Mi didn't have time to pick up the package, so she just went to a noodle shop and ordered two bowls of noodles.
Two bowls! Bowls bigger than her face.
After eating, Hua Mi finally recovered. What kind of stomach did she have? She had never eaten so much in one meal before.
"Girl, you can really eat!"
The noodle shop owner came to collect the bowls and was surprised to see Hua Mi finish eating from two large bowls, leaving not a drop of soup.
It's unbelievable! This girl looks so delicate and frail, yet she has such a huge appetite.
Hua Mi paused, turned her head, and looked at the proprietress with a smile, asking:
"Where can I buy a used electric flatbed truck?"
Money doesn't last long, and Hua Mi didn't have much money left, but fortunately, an electric flatbed truck wasn't expensive.
The noodle shop owner has been doing business in this small town for decades. She knows exactly what everyone has to sell, and she's the one who greets and sees everyone off.
Soon, she very kindly called an old man over for Hua Mi.
When the old man arrived, he drove an old-looking but very large and sturdy electric flatbed truck, asking for 400 yuan, not a penny less.
Hua Mi slammed her hand on the table.
"200, no more."
After saying that, she prepared to get up and leave.
It wasn't that she couldn't afford 400 yuan, but the other party's attitude made Hua Mi unable to resist bargaining!
Bargaining is a stubbornness etched into a woman's soul!
Finally, the old man stopped them, and after some bargaining, they agreed on a price of 250.
Yeah, 250.
The old man looked at Hua Mi with the eyes of someone looking at a fool and transferred the money to him.
He had been trying to sell his electric flatbed cart, which he had used for over ten years, for a long time without anyone buying it... but he finally sold it today.
Hua Mi drove her newly acquired second-hand flatbed truck to the courier point to pick up her instant noodles.
Because the orders were placed from different stores and there were quite a few, the instant noodles didn't all arrive at the courier station at once.
The first batch of a dozen or so boxes of instant noodles filled the flatbed truck.
Hua Mi dragged more than a dozen boxes of instant noodles out of the town and came to a secluded place where there was no possibility of surveillance or anyone watching. She turned around, put her hand on the boxes of instant noodles behind her, and put the dozen or so boxes of instant noodles back into the Level 4 warehouse.
She returned to the market town.
I bought some cooked food in the market town and packed two hundred servings of kimchi and two hundred servings of spicy hot pot.
Of course, she couldn't have bought all of these from the same store; she's not stupid.
Moreover, her Level 4 storage has automatic preservation and freezing functions, which is similar to the spaces in novels. Hot food can be put in and taken out again after a long time, still as hot as when it was put in.
This eliminates the problem of food exceeding its shelf life.
