The blizzard is coming: Start zero-dollar shopping in the apocalypse

Chapter 17 The final purchase restriction
An hour later, the manager of Building 401 issued a notice that one person from each household in the building must go downstairs to clear the snow.

Lu Ruisheng had already put on a super thick down jacket, put on his snow goggles, snow boots that reached down to his knees, and gloves and scarf, which were packed tightly, and he went out after receiving the notice.

When I arrived at the door, I met Chen Shaonan. Chen Shaonan was also tightly wrapped, but his down jacket was not as thick as Lu Ruisheng's, but he wore a lot more underneath, so he could bear it.

Gu Pan looked outside in front of the window. There were many people and strength. There was a snowplow truck spreading snow melting agent on the road in the distance, and there were people cleaning behind. Although the snow on both sides of the road was still about ten meters high, at least the main road could be walked. People Can go out.

Perhaps most people see hope at this time, but Gu Pan knows clearly that this cold wave will not pass so quickly, and the future will be endless disasters.

It took Lu Ruisheng an hour to come back. Because there was not much snow melting agent, they were still very economical in order to prevent the people in the buildings behind from running out of snow melting agent, so they naturally used more manpower.

Gu Pan cooked ginger soup for Lu Ruisheng. When he came back, he first let him drink a bowl to relieve the cold.

In the evening, people can finally go out of the unit doors in the entire community.

During dinner, the building manager @ everyone again: Tomorrow all supermarkets in the city will have limited sales at the entrance, so everyone should go to the nearest supermarket early and queue up to buy.

After reading the news, Gu Pan said to Lu Ruisheng: "Tomorrow is a limited-time purchase. Each person can only buy a random food package, either biscuits, instant noodles, or some rice noodles, and not everyone can buy it."

Lu Ruisheng could also imagine: "We are not a big province of grain, nor is it a necessary transit station. We don't have much reserves. At this temperature, the vegetables and fruits are all frozen. This is the only thing that can be sold. And at this time, there must be businessmen who will take it upon themselves to If you keep it, it will be sold at a high price.”

Gu Pan recalled his past life with emotion: "You are right. Before we died in the past life, there were still rich people who lived without worries about food and clothing. People with money and power will always suffer less."

"Then why don't we call the opposite door and line up early so that they can stock up on more things? It will also be a safety factor for our family." Lu Ruisheng asked Gu Pan.

Although the two of them have space, they cannot not go out completely, otherwise others will be suspicious of them. Normally, they still have to go out to buy like everyone else, so that others can see Lu Ruisheng's fighting power. This way, it is not strange that they are not short of food. It can also be hidden better.

There are also two physics and chemistry teachers across from each other. If the generator or something breaks down in the future, it will not be a bad thing for them to have a physics teacher, not only because they are neighbors.

"Okay, then you call Teacher Chen, and by the way, also call Dr. Feng from 601. After all, this doctor is useful to us."

"Then what time should I agree with them to queue up tomorrow?"

"On the first day, not many people were alert, as long as it was dawn, but starting from the second day, people stayed up late and queued up, but it only lasted three days."

After Lu Ruisheng heard this, he called Chen Shaonan and agreed on a time with him to go out at 05:30 tomorrow morning.

Then, Lu Ruisheng called Feng Zhekai, the doctor at 601, and told him to queue up early tomorrow and ask him if he wanted to go with him.

Feng Zhekai was very willing and said that we would have company together.

The next morning, Lu Ruisheng got up and dressed very lightly, wanting to queue up to buy things by himself.

However, the habit that Gu Pan had developed in the last days was awakened by the slightest voice: "We agreed to go together. I haven't been out for ten days, and I want to go out and breathe."

"It's so cold. If you want to get some air, just stand downstairs for a while."

"You went there by yourself in the previous life. I want to see it this time too. After all, such harmonious scenes will be rare in the future."

Lu Ruisheng also understood Gu Pan and did not stop him: "Okay, then put on more clothes and go out with all the equipment."

"Well, don't worry, I have all the memories from my previous life and I have experience."

As they talked, they put on their inner clothes, warm autumn clothes and long trousers, and sweaters and woolen trousers on the outside, and then had breakfast.After that, I wore a down jacket, down pants, a hat, gloves and scarf. Snow goggles are a must. If the sun is out, it is easy to hurt your eyes if you are not prepared.

Finally, they put on their snow cotton wool and went out.

Chen Shaonan was already ready. When he heard the door open here, he also came out. All three members of the family went, saying that the three of them could queue up separately and buy more.

Their family doesn't like to ask for help, so they would rather prepare too much than not have enough. Besides, the boy is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the couple also want to train him and let him experience the difficulty of life in this bitter cold.

When they went down to the 6th floor, Feng Zhekai went by himself. When he saw them coming down, he said hello and went out together.

When they went downstairs, they walked very lightly because there were still people living on the first and second floors in the corridor.

You can't drive now because the temperature is too low and the car won't start. And there is a supermarket 10 minutes' walk east of their community.

No one talked much on the way because it was too cold, and when we talked, the brim of the hood of the scarf and down jacket was covered with frost.

Because the location of the supermarket has been planted with red flags and light signs, it is very eye-catching. Although the snow on both sides of the road is very high, there are high-rise buildings to refer to and light signs to guide you, so you will not get lost.

The usually 10-minute walk took 15 minutes today. When they arrived, there were two queues, both with more than 20 people in line.

They quickly went over and lined up.

Because there are two teams, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng are on one side, because Gu Pan remembers that both sides have different supplies, so they can have everything.

Chen Shaonan said that it was safe for the men and women of both families to line up separately, so he and Gu Pan lined up on one side.

Duan Shumei, Chen Lang and Lu Ruisheng were on one side.

Feng Zhekai naturally stayed with Gu Pan and Chen Shaonan.

They stood up, and many people came from behind. By daybreak, more than 200 people could be discharged.

Tables were placed in front of both teams in advance, and the queues started from there, so everyone was very orderly.

While queuing up, they listened to the conversations of the people around them and knew that most families sent one person out. In such a cold weather, they all felt that it was time to go out after a few days. No one wanted to stock up on many things. After all, they could start selling. , then will we still be short of food in the future?
Those who come early just think that there will be a lot of people queuing up on the first day of sales. They arrive two hours early, finish their shopping early, and go home early. They don’t know how valuable their decision is.

At 07:30, the supermarket door opened to prepare for sales.

Because there are so many people queuing up, sales officially start at [-] o'clock. Each person is limited to one portion, so you can't jump in line.

Soon there was a queue waiting for them. There were six people in total, and they bought six portions, three portions of biscuits and instant noodles, three portions of rice and noodles. Each portion contained five bottles of drinks or mineral water, randomly placed. .

They are all packed in plastic bags. The biscuits are either compressed biscuits or ordinary biscuits of different brands. There are five bags of biscuits in one bag, ten bags of instant noodles of different flavors, five ham sausages and five braised eggs.

The bag of rice and noodles contains three kilograms of rice, two kilograms of noodles, and a piece of meat. At this temperature, they are all freezing, so there is no need to worry about them melting.

Both prices are the same, one hundred per bag. Although it is more expensive than usual, we all understand that workers arrived in advance to subcontract, and the supermarket suffered a lot of losses. The canned fruits and vegetables were all spoiled. At that time, the price was considered reasonable.

Of course, the prices are all the same, and some people who don’t like to cook can exchange them with those who do.
