Chapter 86
The red envelope popped up first, with the note 'Request a power bank!'
Other diligent group leaders were also sending out red envelopes to start the group. Zhou Jiani grabbed two of them immediately after sending them out, earning a total of 31 cents.
The items of other group leaders will be sent out first. The first thing to start the group is the hard goods, such as fresh frozen hairtail and yellow croaker.
After his group had sent a series of messages, the content about Zhou Jiani's handkerchief came out. The relevant introduction information was still the same as before, but with an extra sentence added in the middle (looking for large-capacity mobile power supplies, open-flame kettles, multi-layer steamers, spatulas, non-stick frying pans, thermal underwear, and hot packs, and some off-season discounts).
She just thought of a few things that could be purchased and added them in.
Purchase information has also been added to the last few items.
Tableware must not be used in front of others. It is just for emergency use. In the current situation where no one is at home and there are not enough tableware on hand, wouldn’t it be more convenient if she had her own?
Put it aside after buying it, otherwise you won’t be able to get it when you need it urgently.
Take some time to go to the town and ask the blacksmith to make a few more kitchen knives. Keep a spare for yourself, and save the extra ones to sell in the group.
She remembered that the purely handmade kitchen knives in later generations cost hundreds of dollars each.
This was the first time Zhou Jiani was opening a large group order, so she didn’t rush to open more. She waited until this batch was sold out before opening other ones.
The fish leader in front moved very fast, and her handkerchief disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Jiani sucked her teeth and decided to sum up her experience. It didn’t matter what time period it was, as long as she didn’t run into something more popular.
Another group leader also posted something, which was a physical cooling ice pack patch, priced at 9.940 yuan. Zhou Jiani bought a set. It can't be used at this temperature now, but she has it ready for use in case she catches a cold or fever someday.
During the break in the group chat, I logged out and went into the warehouse to get out a row of lactic acid bacteria. I inserted a straw and drank it slowly, then returned to the group to continue watching. After a while, my eyes lit up and I realized that the shredded pork and shrimp paste were back together again.
This shrimp paste tastes good, you can continue to buy some.
Zhou Jiani bought five sets of two bottles each and took them out to be transferred to the warehouse.
The small handkerchiefs had to survive among a bunch of popular goods. Although it was difficult, the speed of the chain was gradually increasing.
After drinking a row of lactic acid bacteria, the bottles were collected and destroyed, and the enamel tank she set up also came out.
Zhou Jiani got up and moved around, then went into the house to get a book to read. She read for a while, occasionally flipping through her phone, quickly browsing through it, and closing it if there was nothing else she needed to read and continuing to read.
When your palm vibrates, go in to grab the red envelope and get the message: Power bank group is starting!
I was lucky this time and I think I ran into a group that was preparing to start a power bank group.
She was shocked and stared at the screen. After about five minutes, the information about the power bank appeared. It was a power bank of a certain brand, 50,000 mAh, and the group purchase price was 119.
She didn't know whether the price was expensive or not, but it was not convenient for her to compare prices in different stores. So Zhou Jiani gritted her teeth and bought four pieces, then picked them up and paid instantly.
It has 90% of power. Zhou Jiani connected one of them to the charging board and replaced it with the next one after it was fully charged.
The charging plate only has two USB ports. The desk lamp is not fully charged yet, so it occupies one and the other is used to charge the power bank.
Although she felt a little sad to spend hundreds of dollars in one go, Zhou Jiani felt more happy that owning a power bank was like owning the whole world, and began to think about the small appliances she could buy.
It must be powered by a mobile power supply.
You can ask for USB shoe dryers and wireless hair dryers in the group.
However, the timing of starting the group sale was not good, and it fell into the trap of popular products, especially the group leader who sold fish at the beginning. The next three groups were all seafood products. After his seafood was sold out, other group leaders started selling crayfish and bulk duck products, which also sold well.
In addition, the quantity of her group purchase was large this time, so the five products were squeezed in the gap and still not sold out after an entire morning.
Of course, there is no need to panic. If you can’t sell out today, you can open more tomorrow. You just have to pay an extra three yuan for the red envelope.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, Zhou Jiani picked up the things on the ground and put them in the warehouse.
The desk lamp was fully charged, several power banks were also fully charged, and finally the arc stick was also charged.
The solar charging panel is indeed good, but the intensity of sunlight has a great impact on the charging speed. When I first charged the desk lamp, the power was replenished extremely slowly. Later, when the sunlight became stronger, the speed increased rapidly.
In short, she was still very satisfied.
The two girls cooked in the morning and she cooked at noon.
There are still some dishes from yesterday, and a small piece of meat left. It's hanging in the house and hasn't gone bad.
However, the steamed buns from yesterday were finished, so Zhou Jiani did not borrow a pot again. She used white flour, corn flour and a little bean flour to make multi-grain hand-rolled noodles.
After rolling the noodles, I made stir-fried meat with peppers and eggplant, and also made a loofah and egg soup as a topping.
There is no need to cook porridge with this combination. In the morning, the two girls cooked porridge in a big iron pot for cooking. After the porridge was cooked, they had to scrape it out and wash it clean before cooking the dishes. It was really hard for them.
When the two of them came home from work, the smell of food was already wafting through the yard.
Zhou Jiani also kneaded some more dough to keep herself awake, preparing to go out and borrow a pot to steam some buns after lunch.
Of course, I also told them the amount of flour and corn flour used.
"Hmm, so satisfying, so happy." Yu Wanxia sipped her drink and sighed, "When I was at home, my least favorite thing to eat was loofah. After coming here, Sister Zhao Mei has fried it a few times, but I'm not particularly fond of it. I barely touched the loofah and egg soup last night. But Jiani, the topping on the loofah and egg soup you made today is really delicious. It's sour and appetizing."
Zhou Jiani added a little more vinegar.
After Sun Ping finished the last mouthful of soup, she burped and looked very satisfied.
I have had a few satisfying meals here, including this lunch today, last night, and the dumplings for Mid-Autumn Festival.
It cannot be said that Sister Zhao Mei’s cooking is not delicious, it’s just that people who are used to being frugal calculate every drop of oil they use. If the conditions are good, who doesn’t want to eat better?
Now even she couldn't help but want to calculate whether the three taels of oil each of them was given every month could last until the end of the month at this rate of consumption.
But no matter what, she enjoyed these meals so much that she would accept it even if she had to eat dry steamed bread for the last few days.
Just as he put down his chopsticks, Qiu Zeming came in. He sniffed the aroma wafting in the air, swallowed quietly, and asked with a smile, "Are you done eating?"
He brought two pieces of lotus root.
This is simply, this is simply too rare. Zhou Jiani almost jumped up and rushed out, asking, "Where did the lotus root come from?"
Qiu Zeming smiled and said, "It was sent by the commune as a reward."
A total of 100 kilograms of lotus roots were delivered, which was not enough to be divided. Zhang Baosheng took the one who contributed the most and gave none to himself. He gave two sections to Zhou Jiani and two sections to Qiu Zeming. The rest were given to the processing workshop according to the head. As for the rest, each team leader was asked to recommend a household, and each household would get one section.
Zhou Jiani said a little embarrassedly: "None of the village leaders are there?"
"I'm happy even if you don't have any. Just take it. This is an honor. The team leader said that in previous years, when the commune distributed rare supplies, Qianjin Brigade didn't get any. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling." Qiu Zeming smiled. "But it also reminded me. I asked Qianjin to ask his brother-in-law to see if they can procure some from Qingshui County. Of course, whoever wants it pays for it."
There are some in Qingshui County, but the supply is tight, so you may not be able to get a lot even if you negotiate.
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "If the villagers ask for less, I will ask for more. If everyone asks for more, the quantity will be evenly distributed."
Qiu Zeming nodded: "Okay!"
"By the way, that piece of ham yesterday..."
"You guys keep it for yourself, no one wants to eat it over there."
Bai Haoyang, who was mumbling about how delicious ham was in his dream last night: ...
Zhou Jiani didn't believe it either. Who doesn't need to eat these days? How could she not want it? She said, "This thing is hard to buy. I'll pay for half and you guys can have half. It will be delicious in any dish you make."
Qiu Zeming scratched his head and said, "Then I'll cut half and take it. You don't have to pay for the other half, and my friend didn't ask me for money. But if you still want it, ask him to take it alone next time, and we'll settle it then."
Zhou Jiani's eyes lit up. "Can I buy three or five pieces? I don't have that many meat tickets. Is it okay if I don't give you tickets at a high price?"
A leg is so heavy, she really doesn't have that much meat tickets, and she can't get that much on the black market.
Qiu Zeming: ...
Comrade Xiao Zhou likes ham so much?
"Let me ask!"
There was also a lunch box of loofah and egg soup that had not been opened, and Zhou Jiani asked him to take it back.
I woke up in the afternoon and was about to go to my neighbor's house to borrow a steamer when Bai Haoyang came in with a brand new large aluminum pot in his left hand and a kettle in his right hand. He said, "Comrade Zhou, Brother Qiu ordered this from the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago. This is your share."
"Thanks. I was just about to borrow it. I'll talk to Wanxia about the money and tickets and send them to you later."
Yu Wanxia and the other two went to work. Zhou Jiani cleaned the new pots and kettles with detergent, boiled water over them, and steamed two large pots of steamed buns made from two-grain flour.
We had lotus root for dinner, one dish was braised in oil, the other was stir-fried with chili peppers, and some ham was added. It was so delicious.
After dark, she went to Zhao Mei's house and politely declined Zhao Mei's help. She first carried out 30 kilograms of walnuts, but did not go home after she came out. She found a corner to hide. When she calculated that it was almost time, she went back again and picked up the 45 kilograms of peanuts. She again politely declined the enthusiastic comrade Zhao Mei and agreed to pick up the rest of the things tomorrow night. She put them in the warehouse and went back with a flashlight.
When she got home, Yu Wanxia and Sun Ping were hanging out clothes. When she saw her come in, she asked, "Jia Ni, are all the clothes hanging outside? Look at the brightness of the stars in the sky, it definitely won't rain tonight."
Zhou Jiani cooked two meals in a row, and they were delicious, so the two of them helped her wash clothes.
"Well, just hang it outside."
After Wanxia finished her work, she settled the money and tickets for the tableware with her and sent them to Qiu Zeming.
At night, after the lights in the west room were turned off, Zhou Jiani waited patiently for a while before she began to light a candle and quietly pack the walnuts and peanuts.
In the afternoon, a group order for plastic bags was started in the group. We bought several rolls of plastic bags. We also had the non-stick frying pan she wanted, but no one responded to the remaining items.
The items she had group-sold today were also shown as sold out at around 3:00 p.m.
Walnuts and peanuts are both packed in two-pound portions, and she keeps the remaining peanuts for herself to make porridge.
She won’t be so active when starting a group tomorrow morning. She’ll first see what other people are selling before starting one.
