The seed shop owner took Ling Xue to the warehouse to check the inventory, and Ling Xue found that there were still quite a lot of things left.
"If you want it all, I'll give you the seeds, nutrient solution, soil, and pots. The total price is 50,000 yuan."
Ling Xue took a closer look and agreed. In the past, these things would have cost at least 180,000 to 200,000 yuan to buy, so she was lucky to get a bargain.
"Okay, this is considered to be due to the boss's help."
The seed shop owner shook his head helplessly. "There are no customers in this weather. I can't keep doing business. I'm wasting time here all day. I might as well go back home and take care of my family. At least they can have an easier time buying supplies!"
"Yeah, the weather is getting hotter. Let's stock up on some things to be prepared!" Ling Xue did not hesitate to remind the seed shop owner.
"That's right. Our family is experiencing phased power cuts right now, and the kids can't stand the heat, so my mom and my wife cleaned up the abandoned cave and moved in."
Ling Xue heard this topic that interested her and quickly changed the subject: "A cave dwelling is much cooler than an ordinary house, right?"
Speaking of the shop owner's knowledge of the field, he became excited: "That's right, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, and the highest temperature never exceeds 45 degrees Celsius. It's much more comfortable than living in a building."
"It's so nice, I want to live there!" Ling Xue's face was full of envy. She was not pretending. Ling Xue was really interested in this kind of characteristic folk house. She had only seen it on the Internet before and had long wanted to try living in it. Now she finally had the chance.
Ling Xue remembered that the municipal government seemed to organize residents to dig caves to live in, so she had to make preparations early.
Why is this activity possible? First, there are some vagrant criminals who often set fires, smash and loot, affecting the normal lives of residents. Wherever they go, it is almost like the Japanese's Three Alls Policy. Not only do they rob, they also beat and kill many residents.
You have to know that once they set a fire, it will not just affect one or two houses, but the entire building or even the entire community will suffer.
It would be much safer if the residents were dispersed.
Secondly, as the temperature rises, electricity and fresh water are not enough. Living in a cave where the temperature is low at least allows residents to sleep well.
Ling Xue chatted with the boss for a while before returning with a tricycle full of goods. The owner of the seed shop gave Ling Xue a key to the shop and told her to just slip it through the crack in the door after use.
These things cannot be taken away all at once. Ling Xue plans to make a few more trips to try to find a good place to put these things that have been loaded into the safe house.
Otherwise, if you don't bring anything back but have everything you need, even a fool would know that there is a problem.
In order to avoid trouble, Ling Xue still honestly carried out a few trips of cargo.
Ling Xue drove the tricycle back home, and the people living in the same building couldn't help but be curious: "Xiao Xue, what good stuff did you get? Look, it's all neatly packed."
"I bought some seeds and nutrient soil, planning to plant more vegetables." Ling Xue was afraid that her neighbors would not believe her, so she opened the package and showed it to them again and again.
The envious looks on their faces immediately changed: "Xiaoxue, this girl really doesn't know how to live. It's already this late and she still hasn't stockpiled more food and water. What's the point of all this fancy stuff?"
"Yeah, and still growing vegetables? How can we grow vegetables when we're running out of drinking water?"
Ling Xue didn't take it seriously. As long as they didn't think they had too many supplies, it would be fine.
