For the sake of a pack of cigarettes, Lao Luo reminded them, "Don't buy from small stalls. A lot of coarse sea salt is mixed with sand, and dried seafood is not fresh."

Several households in the villa area are businessmen. They were cheated a lot when they first came here, but later they learned to be smart.

After chatting about some random things, seeing that Huo Yishen had no objection, Jiang Ning planned to rent the villa.

He wanted the one on the top of the mountain, which was far away from other residents, so it would not be easy for people to find out what he was doing.

Upon learning that the two lived on the top of the mountain, Lao Luo was surprised but didn't say anything. "Okay, please follow us down 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 in the car.

When Doudou got on the car, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he seemed to be used to it and didn't ask anything.

Back at the security booth, not only did they have to register their ID cards, but they also took photos of the three people, saying that it was for all security guards to recognize their faces, so that no messy people would sneak in and disturb the tenants.

At the same time, they also issued access passes, which was quite professional.

Accustomed to seeing rich people, they were not surprised by the ordinary potatoes that Jiang Ning took out. They weighed them skillfully and received 450 kilograms.

Lao Luo was very enthusiastic and told them where they could buy furniture. If they needed it, they could also ask the security guard for help.

After completing the formalities, Jiang Ning drove back to the top of the mountain.

The first thing he did was not to clean the room, but to turn on the air conditioner. It was so hot that he almost died.

Who knew that the air conditioner was broken?

Help!

Jiang Ning didn't want the furniture in the villa, so he closed the door and kept taking things from the space.

There might not be much else, but the furniture and appliances were definitely not bad.

For safety and vision considerations, 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 conditioners, refrigerators, humidifiers, washing machines, dishwashers, beds, sofas, tables, clothes, quilts...

It's good to be neighbors with rich people. You have it, I have it, and everyone has it. There is no need to avoid it at all.

The room was filled with them, and then they were taken out one by one.

The air conditioner needed to be reinstalled, so Jiang Ning first used ice cubes and the air conditioner fan to cool down.

Doudou was not idle. After applying ice to his forehead, he began to sweep and mop the floor...

The little guy was busy and happy. The dog also wanted to help, but Jiang Ning thought it was a hindrance. "Kole, your job is to guard the house and not let bad people break in.

If bad people break in, it means you have failed in your job and your dog food will be deducted."

The dog took the task and immediately went to the balcony to stand guard.

Huo Yishen was the main force, and Jiang Ning helped. It took two hours to install three air conditioners.

As for the old ones, they were all thrown into another room.

First, he took the battery box and put it on top. The brand new air conditioner blew out the cool air of cooling, and he was finally saved.

With the air conditioner on, he continued to work after lunch.

It took another two hours to decorate the three rooms and clean the living room, kitchen, and toilet.

In the evening, Jiang Ning took out the power grid he got from the sharp-nosed monkey, and he and Huo Yishen teamed up to enclose the villa yard.

Although the security measures are okay, the end of the world is the most unpredictable in natural disasters, and we must not take it lightly at any time.

He surrounded the villa with the power grid and repeatedly reminded the two cats that if they didn't want to become barbecue, they must not touch the power grid.

In order to teach the two a lesson, Jiang Ning threw the cockroaches he caught while cleaning into the power grid, which soon gave off a burnt smell. "Want some barbecue?"

The two were so scared that they backed away.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and the survivors who had been hiding began to move out. The beach was crowded with people.

Everyone was 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 of the fishing village through a telescope.

People, people everywhere, so densely packed that it was creepy to look at.

Jiang Ning suggested, "Let's go for a walk."

Now that we are here, we can't forget the business, so we should go to the market to check the situation first.

So, the three of us and the dog got in the car. Before we left, we turned up the current of the power grid and put a friendly reminder on the car: The power grid is high voltage. Do not touch it. You will be at your own risk!

We drove very fast and arrived at the seafood market in the fishing village in ten minutes.

The market, which used to be bustling, is now extremely quiet. Dried seafood can be seen everywhere, including shrimp, shrimp skin, dried fish, dried shellfish, fish glue, dried squid, shark fin, squid, dried cuttlefish, dried snail meat, dried silverfish, etc.

There are so many things to see, but there is no raw seafood.

There is no way. Fresh seafood will start to stink in a few hours in the hot weather if it is not processed in time after it comes ashore.

Living by the sea, people can eat by the sea. The dried goods in the wholesale market are not expensive. Two kilograms of grain can be exchanged for one kilogram of dried goods.

Sea salt is even cheaper, one kilogram for one kilogram.

There is no other way. They can only produce salt and dried goods in this place.

Even though dried seafood is nutritious and is real meat, they will get tired of eating seafood for three meals a day, no matter how delicious it is.

They want to eat rice, noodles, or vegetables.

But the weather is too hot, the sea water cannot be purified, and rice cannot be grown. As for vegetables... they are pulled up as soon as they sprout.

This place is close to the sea, unlike other cities where water shortage is serious. There is water in the wells dozens of meters below.

But because of the depletion of surface water, seawater has invaded. Even after filtering through the soil layer, it still has a salty smell.

Drinking makes you thirsty, and not drinking makes you thirstier.

Therefore, there is even a trade of fresh water, 1 catty of salt for 10 liters of fresh water; or 1 catty of dry goods for 20 liters of fresh water.

Jiang Ning is not short of life experience. He compares and chooses from three stores. When he encounters a large store with reasonable prices, he will trade potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Not much, just one or two catties.

The fisherman's seafood market is a mixed bag. Huo Yishen takes two people to guard in the car, and Jiang Ning is responsible for the investigation.

After leaving the seafood market, we went to the military-led seafood exchange.

Yes, in order to obtain survival supplies, the municipal government and the army jointly set up a department with professional fishing boats and salt fields.

The caught seafood can be sold to the public, but there are strict quota restrictions.

With an access card, individuals can purchase 10 kilograms of raw seafood and 5 kilograms of dried seafood within seven days.

One kilogram of raw seafood can be exchanged for one kilogram of food, and dried seafood requires two kilograms of food. Half a kilogram of coarse sea salt is given free of charge.

After seven days, the daily quota per person is 1 kilogram, and the price doubles.

Huo Yishen explained, "The biggest purpose of the establishment of the Ministry of Marine Products is to transport supplies to the municipal government and the base, and at the same time provide limited assistance to ordinary survivors who come to the sea to survive."

As for not restricting private groups from catching or making salt, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to leave a way for the masses to survive and give them more ways to obtain survival supplies.

Jiang Ning queued up and bought one kilogram of dried squid with cold-resistant potatoes.

There is no raw seafood. If you want it, you need to queue up before eight in the morning, because the fishing boats will dock at two or three in the morning. After eight in the morning, it will not be fresh.

After getting the dried goods, Jiang Ning went back to the car to compare.

I have to admit that the price is expensive for a reason. The official seafood is not only bigger, but also looks shiny, smells and tastes better.

The same is true for sea salt, which looks clean and has no impurities.

If possible, it is best to buy from the official, but the official price is expensive and there is a purchase limit.

They not only limit purchases for individuals, but also for teams, and they have to show a letter of introduction with the seal of the neighborhood committee.
