Chapter 75: Touching Porcelain (13)
But Lan Jin still had a question. "Isn't this invitation based on the number of people? I'm bringing my child and dog with me. Can we get in?"
When talking about children and dogs, Ren Siqiao and Nana were very aware that they were being talked about, and their heads all looked towards Huang Jinghe.
Huang Jinghe had naturally asked this question in advance, otherwise there wouldn't have been just one invitation. "Sure, your underage children and your dog can come with you to the base. They don't need separate invitations. Otherwise, I'd definitely request a few more."
If that was the case, Lan Jin would feel relieved. Otherwise, she was the only one who could enter the base, but what about the child and the dog?
With the invitation letter and the supplies she had, it shouldn't be difficult for her to enter the base again.
The Huang family helped her solve such a big problem, she should thank them very much... Huang Jinghe, as for what to thank, what she needed most at the moment was undoubtedly the power generation equipment. Although she had it in her space, no matter how much she thanked her, she could not reveal it to the space.
But the timing is good now. The supply and marketing cooperative will be open tomorrow, and the power generation equipment will definitely be sold there. No matter how expensive it is, it is worth it compared to the invitation letter, so I can just go and buy it tomorrow.
…
The next day, Lan Jin squeezed in as soon as the supply and marketing cooperative opened.
Just like last time, not only was it overcrowded, but all supplies had to be snatched away. However, because there were staff watching every corner, no major incidents occurred even if people dumped the goods randomly.
Most of the things sold in the supply and marketing cooperative are similar to last time, but because of the power outage and high temperature, there are many more power generation and heat insulation equipment. Isn’t this Lan Jin’s goal this time?
This battery (panel) is indeed very durable. Place it in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, and it will absorb energy from the entire day and store it in its battery.
It can be used while charging, and it can also be used after charging. The electricity stored in it is really durable. It can be charged for a day and used continuously as an air conditioner fan for a whole night without consuming much electricity. Not only does it make little noise, it is really practical.
But precisely because it is practical, the price is also very high.
Lan Jin bought two boards. Before the end of the world, a gold necklace was enough for her, but now she had to use five gold necklaces to buy two batteries.
Of course she felt bad about it, but the brands sold by the supply and marketing cooperative were different from the brands in her space. Even if she wanted to save that money, she couldn't.
After buying the batteries, Lan Jin left the supply and marketing cooperative. Although batteries were expensive, many people bought them. After all, everyone who could afford to live in a commercial house had a few gold ornaments. In the eyes of everyone, the batteries in Lan Jin's hand were not so eye-catching.
Lan Jin was well prepared. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he put the battery in a cart and then dragged it all the way home.
Perhaps the battery was too conspicuous, but before she had gone far, an elderly man approached her with a warm expression and said to her, "Hey, girl, wait a minute."
The old man had a very loud voice, which immediately attracted Lan Jin's attention. But perhaps the old man's smile was too malicious, so she just glanced at the old man and walked towards him.
Seeing that Lan Jin ignored her, the old woman jumped in front of Lan Jin and blocked her way.
At this time, the old man's expression was no longer as pleasant as before. His eyes were even sharp and contained some hatred.
Lan Jin felt something was wrong. Could this person be trying to blackmail her? No, she didn't want to argue with the old man. There were so many people here. Even if she was not wrong, she might be wrong after a few words. So she pretended to be frightened and took several steps back. Then she pretended to accidentally slip and fell to the ground. When she fell, she not only held the battery in her hand to protect it, but also said "ouch" in cooperation.
The acting was smooth and there was not a single stutter. If someone didn't pay attention to what was happening over there, they wouldn't notice it. But if someone was watching them, they would definitely be able to see her poor acting.
Lan Jin's "ouch" successfully attracted the attention of the people around him.
There was an old man with a fierce face and a pitiful woman lying on the ground. Without asking why, everyone started to blame the old man, "Old man, what are you doing?"
After saying that, a woman of similar age came to Lan Jin. She tried to help Lan Jin up, but Lan Jin was supporting herself with her arms and refused to be helped up for a long time.
She definitely can’t be helped up, even if she is helped up, why would she still pretend to be pitiful?
But looking at Lan Jinrou's weak appearance, the old man was confused, "I, I didn't do anything."
The woman looked unconvinced and asked, "If you didn't do anything, why are you glaring at me so fiercely?"
"I didn't glare at her. Her fall had nothing to do with me, really nothing to do with me." The old man continued to explain.
However, not only the woman, but everyone around them clearly did not believe what the old man said.
"It wasn't me, she was trying to scam me. I didn't even touch her, she fell on purpose." The old man stomped his feet excitedly, but anyone with a little memory would remember that the last time he bought supplies at the supply and marketing cooperative, he used the same trick in reverse.
That’s right, the old man played the same trick last time, except that he was lying on the ground, and the victim had to pay a huge gift to get over the incident.
Life has been boring recently, and any little thing that happens can attract everyone's attention. It didn't take long for someone to recognize who this old man was.
"Oh, I know you. You were the one who fell to the ground when the supply and marketing cooperative opened last time."
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I do have an impression of that."
The group looked at Lan Jin lying on the ground. No matter whether Lan Jin really fell or pretended to fall, he couldn't possibly fall on anyone. It seemed that the last incident was quite exaggerated. More and more people gathered around, and more and more people were whispering about it.
The victim from last time also jumped out from the crowd, pointed at the old woman and said, "She's pretending, don't believe her. She extorted quite a bit from me last time. Sister, this old woman must have seen you buy batteries, so she wanted to extort you, but she accidentally hurt you. Are you okay?"
Lan Jin continued to pretend to be weak, waving her hands and saying, "I'm fine, just give me some time and I'll be able to get up. It's okay."
However, not only did Lan Jin not get up, but there were also two women standing beside her. Adding to the pressure of the surrounding "public opinion", the old man felt that he would not get any good results today and turned around and ran away.
But there were so many people watching the fun around that the old man squeezed for a long time but couldn't find a gap to get out. In the end, he bumped into the little girl and finally made a hole. Then he left without looking back.
