Chapter 43 Go downstairs to get food
Although vegetables grow very well in the space, other things do not.
The tea trees and fruit trees she planted in the space...cannot be described as ordinary.
It was fine when it was first planted, but the nutrients in the tree were soon absorbed by the soil in the space. The branches gradually turned into dead branches, then turned into dry firewood, and finally turned into fertilizer and was completely absorbed by the space, leaving no residue.
The whole process was completed in just one day, so when Lan Jin entered the space again, he couldn't even see the shadow of the plants he had planted. In the end, he stayed up all night to guard the space and discovered that there was such a thing in the space.
But Lan Jin didn't believe it. If ordinary land couldn't grow crops, what about black soil? Lan Jin planted the tree that had not been planted in the space into the black soil. Unexpectedly, the tree not only grew overnight, but also produced ripe fruits after another night.
Unlike vegetables, after the tree is planted, the fruit can grow indefinitely. Except that it still takes one day to mature, it is much more convenient than vegetables.
Afterwards, Lan Jin took Ren Siqiao to eat the fruits in the space that she had bought when she was preparing supplies. Then she washed all the fruit cores and threw them directly into the black soil without any seedlings. Two days later, they would be able to eat the same fruits grown in the space.
In the days that followed, when she was bored, she would go to the space to plant and pick some fruits, so that the empty space next to her house was now piled with some fruits and vegetables. At this moment, Lan Jin took out some fruits and had them as afternoon tea for the two of them and the dog, which was delicious.
The next day.
Almost at dawn, we received a reminder that the staff was delivering meals, but there were many buildings and few staff, so the delivery could only be done in different areas. Even though everyone was waiting anxiously, they could only wait at home.
Finally at 11:40 am, the long-awaited food was delivered to their downstairs.
At the staff's command, almost everyone opened their doors, took their residence permits, went downstairs and lined up.
Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe never join in the fun at times like this, but there is no time limit for getting supplies, and people will naturally leave after a while if they can't wait any longer. The two estimated the time, and half an hour later she went downstairs with Huang Jinghe.
The two first met at the safety passage. Listening to the noisy conversations in the safety passage, they walked down slowly. But even though they were half an hour late, the team still lined up at the 6th floor.
Lan Jin was stunned. "There are too many people."
"That's right. We're already half an hour late, and there are still so many people." Huang Jinghe was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He quickly said, "Why don't we come down later tomorrow?"
Lan Jin nodded, "I think we can come down in an hour."
The girl in front of Lan Jin saw the two chatting and started chatting with them in a familiar manner. "You guys are lucky. I came down as soon as I got the message. My house is on the 12th floor, and when I left, the line had already stretched to the 10th floor. If I had waited a little longer, it would have been all the way to my door."
That means it took them a full half an hour to sort out the four-story gap. While that's an exaggeration, it's not surprising. "It's probably because the goods just arrived and they haven't been sorted out yet. Plus, there are so many people and supplies ahead of us, so it's inconvenient to find them. The team behind us should be faster."
Another thing is that as time goes on, fewer and fewer people buy supplies. Even if you can exchange everything in your home for supplies, there are only so many supplies in a home, and what will you use to exchange them after you have exchanged them all? This is why people bought more at the beginning because they had been hungry for a long time.
However, from now on, if Lan Jin sees that others buy less, he will reduce the number of times he buys from the cafeteria. After all, if others don't have money but you do, how can you not become the target of public criticism?
After waiting in line for another half an hour, they finally reached the second floor. After more than ten minutes, they turned a corner, and Lan Jin could see clearly how the staff below were working.
The team consists of five staff members and one soldier. Three of them search for supplies in the pile of supplies, and one staff member checks the order on the mobile phone of the person who takes the supplies, and registers the last name and mobile phone number of the person who ordered the supplies. After the three of them find the supplies, they hand them to another person's table.
The other person was holding a machine similar to a POS machine. She first entered the contribution points to be deducted, and then put the residence permit on it. Once the bill was issued, the contribution points were directly deducted. This was the same process as when they went shopping in supermarkets and convenience stores before. They didn't even need to enter a password, and the balance of contribution points could be seen on the printed bill.
As for security issues, there is no need to worry. There is a photo of the person on the residence permit. If the person and the photo do not match, the staff will ask about the relationship with the cardholder, and then use the community's special machine to scan the residence permit for inquiry, so there is no problem of impersonation.
As for the soldier, he must have been standing next to the staff who deducted contribution points. After all, everyone's personalities have gradually become more violent since the poisonous fog. If there is no one to control them, who knows what will happen.
Although Lan Jin came down late, there were many people in front of her in the queue, so she really saw that almost everyone was holding two large bags in their hands. One bag was the lunch box from the cafeteria, and the other was the limited supplies in the supermarket. However, when it came to Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe, the three meager meals seemed a little pitiful.
Lan Jin's place was not bad, but Huang Jinghe hadn't eaten fresh stir-fried food in a long time. Even though it was just a box lunch, he was still looking forward to it. After receiving the box lunch, he smiled and said, "Sister Lan, this box lunch is so big. It should be enough for me to eat one box lunch by myself."
Lan Jin nodded. "Yes, I originally planned to share a box with my child, but I didn't expect the portion to be so large. I guess we can't finish it even if we eat it together."
But she definitely didn't want to throw away the leftovers, so she added, "Luckily there's no power outage, so if we can't finish the food, we can heat it up and eat it tomorrow or tonight."
When the two of them reached the 30th floor, Huang Jinghe asked, "Sister Lan, are you still booking for tomorrow?"
"Of course you will, too." Lan Jin replied.
Huang Jinghe then nodded seriously, walking up while whispering, "I order food every day, Sister Lan. My mother told me that after the canteen opens, I should order food every day if there's food there, and I should put away the food at home if I can. Although my mother didn't elaborate, I always feel that what she said is not simple. She..."
