Chapter 7 Urgency
Miajiu imagined the future in her mind, and her steps became much lighter without realizing it.
When it came to buying a car, she browsed some websites online and read some reviews, but she still planned to buy it in a physical store.
When she gets the demolition compensation money tomorrow, she will go to a second-hand car dealer to look around.
Thinking of the demolition money, Mi Ajiu sighed slightly. She originally wanted to use the money to buy a small apartment, so that she would have her own nest in this city.
But according to the current situation, if the heat continues and as "Qi Mingyuan" said, the immortal virus has penetrated into the human world... the more people there are in the future, the less safe it will be.
So she didn't buy the house for the time being. She planned to save some money and supplies while the order was still there, then go back to her hometown, or to a more remote mountainous area, and then build a small base or something by herself. It couldn't be more dense than this one.
Yes, urban communities like hives are safer.
There were no pedestrians on the street, and there were only a few cars on the road. There were only buses covered with armor-like photovoltaic panels that drove tirelessly.
There are many snack shops nearby, selling various steamed, stewed, stir-fried and fried side dishes, fried rice, beef and chicken soup, miscellaneous sauce, sausage and other noodles and vermicelli with toppings, as well as selling various pastries and drinks...
Although the taste is good, the price is indeed a bit expensive. In the past, because I was working and holding two or three jobs at the same time, I was running around every day and just wanted to save more, so Mi Ajiu rarely ate out.
Mi Ajiu ordered a large bowl of rice rolls with two knots and two braised eggs. The price was 85, which was about double the price two years ago.
A bowl of it will relieve your hunger.
Mi Ajiu thought about her more than 1.2 million yuan in demolition money. According to the current purchasing power, she could at most have more than 10,000 servings of rice rolls.
Therefore, she gave up the idea of ordering ready-made noodle fried rice boxes directly from the store.
After leaving the Fat Rice Roll Shop, there was a pastry shop next to it. Even though there were several layers of insulation curtains, there was still a strong sweet aroma permeating out.
There are big tempting pictures posted on the glass door, which makes me want to take a bite when I look at them.
Mi Ajiu looked at the prices above. A cake as big as a palm costs more than forty yuan... but the energy it provides is far less than that of fried dough sticks and steamed buns that cost forty yuan.
So out of cost-effectiveness considerations, Mi Ajiu passed directly by the cake shop and rounded up all the boss's leftover steamed buns from another snack shop: the steamed buns were three and a half yuan each, with nearly fifty left; the plain steamed buns were eight yuan.
, ten pieces of meat buns, more than twenty in total.
I picked up three big bags and moved them to an unoccupied corner.
I passed by a fried shop that sold fried dough sticks for seven yuan a piece and deep-fried pancakes for ten yuan each, so I bought ten of each.
After stuffing all these into the space, Miajiu entered the largest supermarket nearby.
Outside the supermarket looks deserted, but inside it is crowded, even the aisles are full of people.
Most of them come here to enjoy the air conditioning. Even if they are equipped with photovoltaic power generation, it cannot fully support the electricity consumption throughout the day. Moreover, there are many people here, so everyone can chat, which is lively and saves electricity.
Prices of rice, flour, grains and oils in supermarkets are quite stable. Better rice packed in vacuum bags costs more than 10 yuan per catty, while ordinary rice stacked in display cabinets only costs 4.5 yuan, ordinary wheat flour costs 5 yuan per catty, and 5-liter edible oils are available in supermarkets.
It ranges from one hundred to five hundred to four to five hundred.
The price of meat is more than 40 per kilogram, and fish is relatively expensive. After all, many rivers and ponds have dried up. The transportation cost of sea fish is higher, and the price is upwards of 70.
In addition, the news and many short videos during this period are saying that the oceans are seriously polluted, many marine creatures are either dead, rotting or mutating, and their bodies are filled with garbage, heavy metals, nuclear waste, etc.
Mi Ajiu pushed two carts, loading them with barrels of oil, bags of rice, flour, and noodles, as well as meat, vegetables, and sauces.
This time I spent more than 3,000. I pushed the shopping cart to the underground parking lot and found a corner to store it in.
I changed to a small supermarket and bought a lot of things, and then moved to another supermarket to continue buying.
I have never been able to buy and buy as freely as I do now, and it feels so good to spend money.
Especially now that she has such a large storage space to store her things, the key is that she no longer has to worry about the shelf life of food, which makes her feel even better.
It wasn't until after seven o'clock in the afternoon that Mi Ajiu returned to the rental house, exhausted but satisfied.
Walking into the old resettlement housing community, Mi Ajiu saw people coming out of the houses one after another under the setting sun, hanging out in twos and threes, shopping and chatting lively, and she couldn't help but feel in a trance.
It was as if everything I experienced on this day was as unreal as a dream.
Has the immortal virus really penetrated into life and wandered around in human skin?
She doubted whether the people she saw in the villa who were parasitized by the immortal virus were real? Are those monsters condensed into a big ball of silk threads really turned into humans? Could it be that she just imagined it after watching a horror movie?
Picture?
Sitting on the sofa, Mi Ajiu was eating a large portion of green pepper fried pork rice bowl while sorting out the things she bought this afternoon.
There are seven 50-pound bags of rice, four 20-pound bags of flour, eight 5-liter barrels of cooking oil, various sauces, vegetables such as potatoes and eggplants, more than 20 pounds of pork, etc.
It occupies exactly one space cell.
Mi Ajiu made a rough calculation and found that if all these were made into finished products, it would be enough to make about a thousand portions of lazy stewed rice and five to six hundred steamed buns or fried dough sticks... According to her current appetite, it would not be enough to last her for a year.
Well, I have to stock up again.
Of course, in addition to food and drink, life-saving things are also important.
After eating and resting, her physical strength and energy were fully restored, and Mi Ajiu decided to go shopping elsewhere.
The feeling of being helpless when facing the original nucleus in the basement today was still fresh in her mind, so she decided that in addition to buying some conventional self-defense and life-saving items, it was more important to improve her physical fitness and speed and agility.
For a while, she didn't know how to improve her endurance, speed and agility, but she had to schedule it.
There is a night market two streets next to the resettlement area, where you can buy some things that are not sold in ordinary supermarkets. She bought her spray and flame spray gun there.
She decided to buy some more tonight, by the way, protective clothing, outdoor equipment and so on.
After all, now I have space to store these things, so I’m prepared.
As night falls, there is no direct sunlight and the temperature drops slightly.
The street lamps illuminated the streets like daylight, and small stalls were set up one by one, selling steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and tofu curd, as well as noodles, rice rolls, steamed dumplings, small pan-fried buns, as well as fire-roasted, braised, stir-fried noodles, etc.
.
Pedestrians were coming and going on the road, which was very lively.
From time to time, the shouts of vendors and the voices of people can be heard, mixed with various fragrances into the corners of the city.
Mi Ajiu used to go to work between 2 a.m. and 1 a.m. and often go to this community to eat.
Breakfast is usually a fried dough stick or a steamed bun and a cup of soy milk. Later, I found that freshly made soy milk is more expensive than milk, so I bought milk and frozen steamed buns from the supermarket.
Occasionally, I would buy a small portion of maocai, duck, braised goose, etc. for a change of taste.
Mi Ajiu saw so many snacks, which tempted her senses in all aspects of color, smell, taste and appearance.
I felt my belly and it seemed that the green pepper rice bowl I just ate was already empty.
Well, for the sake of doing two big things today, quitting her job and getting rid of the dangerous boyfriend who is clinging to her, Mi Ajiu decided to treat herself well. Then... let's have a few of each.
Chapter completed!
