Vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, mineral water, and beverages were delivered to the warehouse in truckloads.
Zuo Ling was busy weighing and counting, her feet barely touching the ground, when a few tactless, uninvited women suddenly appeared.
The women couldn't hide the greed in their eyes; they touched this and looked at that.
Who are you looking for? What's the matter?
"Ah, we're from a nearby village. We'd like to see if they hire any temporary workers here."
Judging from the voice, it was the woman who knocked on the door yesterday.
"No, please leave. We're busy."
Zuo Ling shooed the people away, she had no patience to waste with them.
"If you're not going to invite us, then don't. Why push us away?"
"With so much stock, you can have two items stolen. Hurry up and leave, don't get in the way."
The woman's greed was undisguised, and Zuo Ling naturally didn't have a good word to say about it.
"What are you saying? We just came to take a look. What do you take us for?"
"Yeah, look what's wrong with us, they're treating us like thieves."
"This young girl is so young, yet she has no sense of propriety and dares to say the most hurtful things."
"What's with the attitude? Don't forget, you're renting a house in our village."
"..."
Having their thoughts exposed, the women lost face and criticized Zuo Ling for her harsh words.
Zuo Ling circled around, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect:
"Good people, you are all good people, alright? I beg you good people to leave quickly. If you are good people, who will cause trouble for others? Have a good journey, don't come back."
With a bang, Zuo Ling slammed the courtyard gate shut.
The women: "..."
Why does this sound so awkward? I have to leave, otherwise I'm not a good person.
Finding no benefit to be gained, the group walked away grumbling.
It's another busy day. All the goods have been stored in the storage space. I checked the time, and it's 8 p.m.
I opened a can of soda and gulped down more than half of it in one go. The rush of air up my throat gave me a burst of energy.
Take out a serving of spicy rabbit meat, a serving of red oil tripe strips, and two large, snow-white steamed buns.
Zuo Ling wagged her head and tail smugly, thinking that having a space was the best thing ever!
After finishing the meal, I didn't leave immediately.
I checked the doors and windows, turned off the lights, got into the car in the dark, and waited quietly.
One hour, two hours...
Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I heard someone outside trying to pry open the door and someone climbing the wall.
Quickly turn on the front and rear headlights, and simultaneously sound the loudspeaker:
"Help! Help! Fire! Fire! Help! Fire! Fire!"
A deep male voice came from the loudspeaker.
It was already night, but the noise was so loud that it startled the roosters and dogs in the village.
"Ouch……"
The chaotic voices, mixed with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the cries of pain, halfway through, were like kites that had lost their strings, sinking into the darkness, top-heavy and unsteady.
The chaotic sound of running footsteps gradually faded into the distance.
Someone in the village was shouting, "Fire! Fire!"
Turning off the loudspeaker, Zuo Ling exclaimed, "What a wonderful treasure!"
The loudspeaker was found in a corner of the warehouse; it was probably left behind by a previous tenant.
I don't know what it's for, but after listening to the recording inside, I learned it's for preventing theft.
The women who came during the day always seemed to be there to scout things out, which made Zuo Ling wary.
Remembering the agent's advice, I stayed put and didn't leave.
It was worth the wait, they finally arrived!
No wonder! It's a great warehouse, they rented it to her for such a low price.
It seems that similar incidents have happened quite often in the past.
After this incident, the thieves will know that the tenants are on guard, and they should be able to keep quiet for a few days.
Back at the hotel, Zuo Ling continued searching online for water storage tools.
Two jin of water a day, 70 years, 25 tons.
To ensure drinking water safety, Zuo Ling purchased 50 stainless steel water towers, each weighing 0.5 tons.
I negotiated the price with the online shop owner; it's 400 each.
For domestic water storage, there's no need to be too particular; a plastic water tank will suffice.
If you bribe officials to provide 5 tons of water per month, that's 4200 tons over 70 years!
Taking a deep breath, 5 tons seemed too much. Let's be frugal, 3 tons it is. The numbers on the calculator immediately looked much better: 2520 tons.
After searching for ages, even the cheapest 2-ton water towers cost 700 yuan. She needs... 1260 of them! Wow... 882,000 yuan! Buying water towers costs that much!!
Zuo Ling was reluctant to part with it; there was still 8.6 million left in the account, and there were many things she needed.
She's not a tycoon! Not a tycoon!! Ordinary people have to be careful with their money.
After counting on my fingers for a while, I realized that 3 tons of water was too extravagant, so I decided on 2 tons, which would require 1680 tons.
Plastic water towers are too expensive to afford, so we'll switch to home swimming pools. The largest home swimming pools, each holding 3 tons of water, would require 560.
After haggling with the shop owner for a long time, the lowest price was 480 yuan per piece. After thinking it over for a while, I bought 200 pieces.
Zuo Ling spent 116,000 yuan on water storage equipment alone.
To make up for the shortfall, rainwater, snow water, or ice are collected, purified, and replenished.
Ten sets of household water purifiers from well-known international brands, including the free filter cartridges and additional purchases, are enough to last for 70 years.
The key is that it's cheap; you can get everything for 20,000 yuan!
200 boxes of water purification tablets, 10 sets of rechargeable water and oil pumps, and 10 sets of water controllers.
The three items together cost less than 8,000 yuan.
Zuo Ling, who had spent over a million units, suddenly felt like he had gotten a great deal.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night. Remembering that I had to go out shopping tomorrow, I reluctantly turned off my phone.
On her way to Xinfa Market, Zuo Ling headed straight for the seafood section, when she caught a glimpse of the four large characters for "Daily Department Store".
I thought the farmers' wholesale market wouldn't have daily necessities, but since it does, I'll just buy them all.
One pack of toilet paper a month, 70 years, 840 packs, round it up to 1000 packs.
