For the sake of a pack of cigarettes, Lao Luo reminded them, "Don't buy from small vendors. A lot of coarse sea salt is mixed with sand, and dried seafood is not fresh."
Several households living in the villa area are businessmen. They were cheated a lot when they first arrived, but they learned their lesson later.
After chatting about some random things, Jiang Ning decided to rent the villa when he saw that Huo Yishen had no objection.
I want the one on the top of the mountain. It's far away from other residents, so it's not easy for people to discover what you're doing.
Upon learning that the two lived on the top of the mountain, Lao Luo was surprised but said nothing. "Okay, please come with us to handle the formalities."
While Huo Yishen was checking Doudou's forehead wound, Jiang Ning took out several large bags of potatoes from the space and unloaded them into the carriage.
When Doudou got on the bus, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't ask anything.
When we returned to the security booth, we not only had to register our ID cards, but we also had our photos taken of the three of us, so that all the security guards would recognize our faces and avoid any random people sneaking in and disturbing the tenants.
At the same time, they also issued passes, which was quite professional.
Being used to seeing wealthy people, they were not surprised by the ordinary potatoes that Jiang Ning took out. They weighed them skillfully and found that the potatoes weighed 450 kilograms.
Lao Luo was very enthusiastic and told the two people where they could buy furniture and that they could call the security guard for help if necessary.
After completing the formalities, Jiang Ning drove back to the top of the mountain.
The first thing I did was not to clean the room, but to turn on the air conditioner. It was so hot.
Unexpectedly, the air conditioner was broken.
Help!
Not wanting the furniture in the villa, Jiang Ning closed the door and kept taking things from the space.
There may not be much else, but the furniture and appliances are definitely not bad.
For reasons of safety and visibility, the two chose to live on the second floor and planned to clean up three rooms.
The solar generator can finally be used openly.
Air conditioner, refrigerator, humidifier, washing machine, dishwasher, bed, sofa, table, clothes, quilt...
It's good to be neighbors with rich people. You have it, I have it, and everyone has it. There's no need to be shy about it.
They filled up the entire room and then took them out one by one.
The air conditioner needed to be reinstalled, so Jiang Ning first used ice cubes and the air-conditioning fan to cool down.
Doudou was not idle. After applying ice to his forehead, he started sweeping and mopping the floor...
The little guy was busy and happy, and the dog also wanted to help, but Jiang Ning thought it was in the way, "Kole, your job is to guard the house and not let the bad guys in.
If bad guys break in, it means you are derelict in your duty and you will be fined."
Gouzi received the task and immediately went to the balcony to stand guard.
Huo Yishen took the lead and Jiang Ning assisted him. It took them two hours to install three air conditioners.
As for the old ones, they were all thrown into another room.
First, we took the battery box and put it on top. Then the brand new air conditioner blew out cool air, and we were finally saved.
With the air conditioning on, I continued to work after lunch.
It took another two hours to decorate the three rooms and clean the living room, kitchen and bathroom.
In the evening, Jiang Ning took out the electric fence he had exchanged from the sharp-nosed monkey, and worked together with Huo Yishen to enclose the villa yard.
Even though the security measures are in place, natural disasters and the end of the world are the most unpredictable and we must not take it lightly at any time.
We surrounded the villa with an electric fence and repeatedly warned the two cats not to touch the fence if they didn't want to become barbecued.
In order to teach them a lesson, Jiang Ning threw the cockroaches he caught while cleaning into the electric fence, which soon gave off a burnt smell. "Want some barbecue?"
The two were so scared that they retreated repeatedly.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the dormant survivors began to move out, and the beach was crowded with people.
They were all tanned like charcoal. After being baked by the hot weather all day, they jumped into the sea like dumplings.
Jiang Ning stood on the rooftop and carefully observed the beach and the villagers in the fishing village through a telescope.
There were people everywhere, so densely packed that it was creepy to look at.
Jiang Ning suggested, "Let's go shopping."
Now that we are here, we can’t forget the important things. Let’s go to the market to check the situation first.
So, the three people and the dog got in the car, and before leaving, they increased the current of the power grid and did not forget to post a friendly reminder: The power grid is high voltage, touching is strictly prohibited, life and death are at your own risk!
It’s a quick drive and only takes about ten minutes to reach the seafood market in the fishing village.
The once bustling market is now extremely quiet. Dried seafood can be seen everywhere, including shrimps, dried shrimp skins, dried fish, scallops, isinglass, dried squid, shark fins, squid, dried cuttlefish, dried snail meat, dried whitebait, etc.
There are so many kinds of food, but there is no raw seafood.
There is no way. If the fresh fish is not handled in time after being brought ashore, it will start to stink within a few hours in hot weather.
Live by the sea, the dry goods in the wholesale market are not expensive, 2 kilograms of grain can be exchanged for 1 kilogram of dry goods.
Sea salt is cheaper, pound for pound.
There's no way, their place can only produce salt and dried goods.
Even though dried seafood is nutritious and is real meat, if you eat seafood for three meals a day, you will get tired of it no matter how delicious it is.
They want to eat rice, noodles, or vegetables.
But the weather was too hot, the seawater could not be purified, and rice could not be grown. As for the vegetables... they were pulled out as soon as they sprouted green leaves.
This place is close to the sea, so unlike other cities where water shortage is serious, there is water if you dig a few dozen meters down.
However, due to the depletion of surface water, seawater has been invading and even after being filtered through the soil, it still has a salty smell.
Drinking makes you thirsty, and not drinking makes you even thirstier.
Therefore, there was even a fresh water trade, with 1 pound of salt being exchanged for 10 liters of fresh water; or 1 pound of dry goods being exchanged for 20 liters of fresh water.
Jiang Ning is not lacking in life experience. He compares prices from three different stores and when he comes across a large store offering reasonable prices, he will trade for potatoes or sweet potatoes.
