Chapter 20 The value of a box of mineral water

Although the gas company said it was just a malfunction and was undergoing emergency repairs, without natural gas, they couldn't even heat the river water and boil it for drinking.

So Huo Jing made up his mind and brought all the cash at home to find Hua Mi.

He sat opposite Hua Mi with a look of shame on his face,

"Actually, I also went to the water plant this morning, but the entrance to the water plant was full of people buying water. Almost every few boxes of water that the water plant put out were sold out."

Oh, actually the word "buy" should not be used, but the word "grab" should be more appropriate.

"We have also tried to order water online."

But they did not accurately judge the seriousness of the situation. Although the logistics was still running, they could not enter the city at all. Even if they entered the city, they would be delivered to an unknown express station in the city.

Nowadays, it is very difficult for people in Xiangcheng to pick up express delivery. Sometimes people in the city have to go outside the city to pick up express delivery.

Inconvenient logistics have resulted in a lack of good supply of food and water.

Everyone is panicking, everyone is desperately hoarding food and water, and some people even live in temporary rescue centers.

Some people really couldn't bear the earthquake in Xiangcheng, so they simply left Xiangcheng with their families.

For example, those who set up stalls outside the temporary ambulance center to clear goods.

At the end of Huo Jing's words, the expression on his face was almost pleading,

"Miss Hua, just sell me some water. No matter who says it this time, I won't sell it."

Hua Mi ate a piece of dried orchid and felt a little tired.

She pointed to the small open space around the supermarket with her chopsticks.

"The price you gave is too low. Look at how much a bottle of water sells for outside now. It starts at least 50 per bottle. How many bottles can you buy with just a few wads of money?"

Huo Jing lowered his head dejectedly and slumped his shoulders.

Thinking of the 3,000 bottles of mineral water he was tricked into selling by his relatives, he raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

"Don't go to extremes, keep a calm mind at this time, and slide into the abyss more slowly."

Hua Mi had already finished a large bowl of Malatang and said,

"I happen to be building a barbed wire fence here. If you help me with the work for a day, I will give you a box of mineral water."

She was really a little tired. After eating, she kept wanting to doze off.

At this time I really want to take a nap.

But her Level 4 factory and Level 4 warehouse are waiting to be upgraded, so what if 1 square meter of black land does not support them, which will delay her career.

Huo Jing, who was sitting opposite, heard this and thought, "Hey, there is such a good thing."

Based on the fact that a bottle of mineral water outside costs 50 yuan, and there are 24 bottles of mineral water in a box, doesn’t he earn 1,200 yuan for a day’s work?

Huo Jing immediately nodded in agreement.

In the next sentence, Hua Mi said:

"You still have to pay cash, all cash!"

Therefore, the value of a box of mineral water per day is Huo Jing’s cash + Huo Jing’s labor.

Even so, Huo Jing could only nod in agreement. After all, he only had to work for Hua Mi for one day and he would get a box of mineral water.

But if you work outside for a day, you may not be able to get a box of mineral water.

After making arrangements for Huo Jing, Hua Mi returned to the supermarket.

The generator set has been installed and is running rumblingly behind the supermarket.

As soon as she returned to the second floor of the supermarket, she opened the control panel and saw the health bar on the level 4 factory icon flashing.

Indicates that it is charging energy.

The problem is that the generator set outside is too noisy, and the energy is charged too slowly.

If you charge it slowly and leisurely like this, it is estimated that the diesel will be used up before the level 4 factory is fully charged.

This kind of energy will slowly become more expensive and less available as the environment becomes worse day by day.

In the end, there is a price but no market.

Hua Mi looked helpless. She couldn't move the supermarket to the temporary rescue center to recharge.

So now she can only do this for the time being, and later she will buy some gasoline and diesel to stock up.

After making up her mind, Hua Mi plugged a power bank into every socket in her supermarket and fell asleep.

Originally I just wanted to sleep for a few hours before getting up, but ended up sleeping until dawn the next day.

She had a good habit of turning off her phone while sleeping. When she woke up and opened her phone, she found that the text messages on her phone were full.

The director of the water plant urged her to quickly bring hundreds of thousands more mineral water bottles to the water plant.

Ah Fu said that he had sent a car full of empty mineral water bottles to the water production plant, but the water production plant did not have a bottle of water that Hua Mi could bring back.

Because all the mineral water is ordered away as soon as it comes off the assembly line.

Everyone was very anxious and said how much they needed these mineral waters.

There's just no way around it.

Huo Jing also left a message for her. The barbed wire fence had been pulled halfway. He had left as agreed and would come back today to finish the remaining half of the work.

Then, he also told Hua Mi that he found a large pile of mats twenty meters away from the supermarket, so he cut them off on his own initiative and made a mat broom.

He also helped Hua Mi scan the empty supermarket.

Hua Mi ran downstairs and took a look. Sure enough, the supermarket that had a layer of dust before was cleaned by Huo Jing.

This guy can handle it.

She ran out again and looked at the half-encircled barbed wire fence. Huo Jing did a very good job.

Finally, Hua Mi remembered the mats on her patch of black land.

When she left two days ago, she casually scattered a handful of mat grass seeds on the black soil. Did it grow?

She quickly teleported to the black land and saw that another square meter of buds had sprouted from the mat Huo Jing had just cut.

It is estimated that in less than two days, another crop of mat grass will be harvested.

Is this black land so magical?

Hua Mi immediately regretted it. She bought a lot of fruit seeds last time. If she had known what kind of mats to plant, if she had directly planted fruits, she would be able to eat fresh fruits today.

Hua Mi, who was quite helpless, could only turn her grief and anger into motivation. After Huo Jing arrived, she gave Huo Jing a box of mineral water, plus a bag of bread and instant noodles, and she walked out of the ruins.

Today, she planned to go to the street stall outside the rescue center to buy some things that could be used as safety precautions.

Passing Ah Fu's large truck, Hua Mi slowed down a little, patted the truck bed with her palms, and silently filled the huge truck bed with empty mineral water bottles.

These empty mineral water bottles are all used to exchange diesel fuel with the director of the water production plant.

Then she first went outside the city to pick up the express delivery, and then slowly arrived outside the ambulance center.

Before entering the stall area, Hua Mi found a secluded place, dragged his electric flatbed truck out of the level 4 warehouse, and drove into the stall area.

To be honest, she actually came here with the purpose of searching for building materials.

But as soon as I approached the stall area, I saw a stall selling auntie towels.

The pile of air sanitary napkins, antibacterial pads, tampons, and pajamas is higher than a mountain.
