Hua Mi hadn't been recuperating in the RV for more than a few days when Ye Rong found her.
She reported the shipment status of supplies over the past few days to Hua Mi, and then said,
“Ami, the 300,000 servings of semi-finished sauerkraut fish you just wholesaled have all been bought up by the survivors in one go.”
Hua Mi was momentarily surprised, then quickly thought of Qin Zhen. There was no one else but Qin Zhen who could be so generous as to buy 300,000 servings of pickled fish in one go.
But Ye Rong shook her head and said to Hua Mi...
"It wasn't Qin Zhen. This batch of semi-finished pickled fish didn't leave Xiangcheng. It was transported directly to a cluster of tents where survivors were gathered."
Such a large quantity of supplies was purchased all at once without any attempt to conceal it. Even if Ye Rong didn't notice, all the vendors in Xiangcheng were watching closely.
If it were to be transported out of Xiangcheng, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
As for the transport planes in City C, they are all parked at the wood-cutting factory near the RV supermarket. There is a large open space there, which is temporarily used to park the transport planes in City C.
Upon hearing Ye Rong's words, Hua Mi leaned back in her chair, pondering.
"Who's that stupid?"
Buying 300,000 servings of semi-finished pickled fish in one go, and not just for one city, is, from the perspective of the survivors, a stupid act.
Because this is tantamount to telling everyone: Look, I have a lot of money and supplies, I don't have any garrison protection, I still live in Xiangcheng, and my supplies are in Xiangcheng, so come and get me!
Only someone with a brain can do something like this.
Just then, Ye Rong's phone rang; it was Da Fu calling.
After Ye Rong answered the phone and said a few words, her expression changed, and she said to Hua Mi,
"The other party is here again, saying they want to buy the supplies for 1,000 trucks at once."
Hua Mi got excited as soon as she heard that.
“Sell them, sell them 1,000 truckloads of oranges, pomelos and apples.”
These three fruit trees have now been taken into storage room number 24 by Hua Mi, because they have grown into enormous trees and it is no longer appropriate to leave them outside to flaunt.
The fruit produced by these three trees always fills Warehouse 24-2 to the brim.
No matter how many oranges, pomelos, and apples Hua Mi sends out each day, Warehouse No. 24 always teeters on the brink of bursting.
With such a good deal, why wouldn't she sell it and keep it?
Ye Rong immediately made a phone call and asked Dafu to tell the other party that they had 1,000 truckloads of oranges, pomelos, and apples, and asked if they wanted to buy them. If not, then forget it.
The news reached the survivor settlement where An Xiaoyu and Qin's mother were located.
The gathering place was filled with jubilation. Several women surrounded Ma Zhixuan, chattering like sparrows.
This made Ma Zhixuan very happy.
Because of Ma Zhixuan's generous purchase of 300,000 servings of semi-finished pickled fish for their team of over 1,000 people, Ma Zhixuan's status here has risen accordingly.
Qin's mother walked over with a kind and gentle expression, as if she hadn't seen the women nestled beside Ma Zhixuan at all.
She told Ma Zhixuan that the RV supermarket only sold oranges, pomelos, and apples from 1,000 trucks.
Originally, Qin's mother thought Ma Zhixuan would refuse, after all, there were so many oranges, pomelos and apples in so many trucks, and they only had a little over 1,000 people, they simply couldn't finish them all.
It's a bit better now that it's cold. If it gets hot, all this fruit will go to waste.
But Ma Zhixuan is rich, and he's not even using his own money, so he doesn't feel the pinch at all.
He waved his hand.
“We’ll buy it. Now that we have supplies, many survivors will come to us for help, and we’ll move out of Xiangcheng to live.”
What is a team of more than 1,000 people? Ma Zhixuan thought it was too few. As long as he had the resources, his team could expand rapidly.
By then, the entire city of Xiangcheng won't be able to accommodate his team.
Hearing him say that, Qin's mother beamed with joy. She had found Ma Zhixuan for An Xiaoyu's team, and because of Ma Zhixuan's generous spending, Qin's mother's status in the team had also risen accordingly.
Moreover, she was convinced that Hua Mi's supplies were found by her son, so she wanted them to belong to her.
Anyway, the money for Ma Zhixuan to buy supplies wasn't paid by Qin's mother. As long as Hua Mi had all the supplies, no matter what they were, she wouldn't care.
Oranges, pomelos, and apples were also supplies, which Qin Ziran had also found.
So now it's just a matter of buying whatever we want. Qin's mother doesn't care about the consequences at all; she just encourages and supports Ma Zhixuan to buy whatever he wants.
At this moment, An Xiaoyu led a large group of people over, braving the heavy snow.
He waved happily to Qin's mother and Ma Zhixuan.
"This team said they wanted to join us, and now our team is growing again."
Thanks to the abundance of supplies, their team expanded rapidly within just a few days, with several hundred people already joining them.
The newly arrived group of survivors stared eagerly at the large pile of neatly arranged semi-finished sauerkraut fish on the open ground.
Someone said to An Xiaoyu,
"What? Your team didn't prepare any firewood? It's so cold now, of course you need to have enough firewood."
"Without firewood for heating, you won't be able to grow much, and we don't want to stay here anymore."
"That's right, you said you were recruiting members from outside the group, and now that we've come, why are you treating us like this?"
An Xiaoyu was at a loss and looked at Qin's mother.
Indeed, the weather is too cold; how can we manage without firewood?
Qin's mother had never experienced such a big event before. She looked at Ma Zhixuan and advised:
"If we want to go far, we should listen to the opinions of our members and be a leader who listens to all sides."
Ma Zhixuan thought for a moment, then stepped out from the group of women.
“I already have a plan for this matter. We will move out of Xiangcheng in a few days. After all, we are still subject to the control of the garrison in Xiangcheng.”
"You can collect firewood from the wild yourselves later. The firewood at Hua Mi's place costs 5 yuan a pound, which is far too expensive."
Before he could finish speaking, someone made a move to turn back.
"What? In this freezing weather, we're supposed to go out into the wild and gather firewood ourselves? Why should I join your team then?"
Immediately, others echoed this sentiment.
"Exactly, we're exhausted. We thought we'd have a better life after joining your team. You have so many supplies and you're so generous, you don't seem short of money. Why didn't you even buy some firewood to stock up?"
They came here to live a better life because they knew Ma Zhixuan was rich. So they joined the team so they wouldn't have to suffer like the other survivors in this freezing weather.
Otherwise, why would you choose to join Ma Zhixuan's team when you could join other teams?
When there are good days to live, who would want to suffer?
Ma Zhixuan, right? Isn't he rich? He supports his team, ensuring everyone has enough to eat and drink without having to work. What's wrong with that?
The baby has a fever and is vomiting, and can't eat anything. We've arrived at the Women and Children's Hospital now.
