A six-year-old child can achieve this level, which is already impressive. Huo Yishen’s education is successful.
However, this occasion doesn’t seem suitable for outsiders.
Jiang Ning pats her stomach, “No, I’m too full to eat, I need to go and lie down. See you tonight.”
Taking the dog, she quickly leaves.
Doudou tightly hugs her brother’s arm, “Brother, I’m sorry.”
Huo Yishen comforts her, “You’re not wrong, but things are different now. Many people outside are hungry. If they know we have good things, they will come with knives to steal. Then not only will the good things be taken away, but brother or sister will also die. What will you do then?”
Doudou is frightened, trembling in her brother’s arms, “Brother, don’t die, I’ll miss you like mom and dad.”
“Don’t be afraid, even if mom and dad are not here, brother will protect you.”
Only through pain can one remember.
Huo Yishen comforts her in a low voice, educating her through actions.
“Brother, I won’t even mention Coke in the future.”
As the temperature continues to drop, apart from hiding under the covers, they practice fighting. Jiang Ning doesn’t need to worry about the potatoes anymore, as Huo Yishen takes care of them very well.
Even though the secret of space has been exposed, considering that Huo Yishen doesn’t know what she really has, she still has to pretend.
About once a week, she will go out. “Is there anything I need to bring?”
“No, thank you.”
Every time, she knocks on the door with a bulging bag, and takes the dog back home.
Just as she was about to go out this time, unexpectedly, Huo Yishen spoke up, “Together.”
Ah, she was just pretending!
“No one can be absent on the 18th floor. Shall we go separately?”
“No need, today Zhong’s family is resting, just tell them.”
Doudou ran out, “Sister, we’re going shopping.”
Alright, they are all equipped.
It’s just the dog… With three members missing from the 18th floor, they dare not let it walk around.
Huo Yishen asked softly, “Do you want to stay at home or get in the backpack?”
Coke tilted its head, then turned around and fetched the big backpack.
Jiang Ning, who didn’t want to carry the dog, “…”
Carrying a dog weighing seventy to eighty pounds all the way, I can’t do it!
Huo Yishen put the dog in the backpack, leaving a gap on purpose, “Let’s go.”
Doudou grabbed Jiang Ning’s hand, “Sister, let’s go.”
So, after saying hello to the Zhong family, they walked out of the unit building.
It’s been a long time since they came out, and the public security during the day is still okay.
With the continuous release of new job demands by the municipal government, many people without the talent for robbery, or those whose skills are inferior, ultimately choose to give up shortcuts and obey the call by exchanging rewards through hard work.
In addition, with a large number of survivors gradually finding jobs, the robbers who stayed on the road suffered from hunger and cold, sometimes not finding a target for several days in a row.
So, when Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen appeared, they were immediately noticed by several sharp-eyed people.
Jiang Ning no longer had the impulse she had at the beginning towards these scums, especially considering the improvement in public security and the patrols by the security team. It’s not easy to kill criminals at will.
If caught, one has to take responsibility.
There were no patrols around, so Jiang Ning decisively pulled out her gun—a high-quality plastic one.
No need to speak, the first group of people were scared witless and ran away while clutching their heads.
The second group was puzzled, but seeing the ones in front running away, they didn’t dare to rush forward and instead retreated.
Doudou admired, “Sister, you’re so amazing.”
Not at all, her brother is even more amazing.
Just as they arrived at the department store, the tightly wrapped sharp-mouthed monkey ran over, “Sister, do you still have the goods from last time?”
Uh, have you finished over a thousand umbrellas?
Jiang Ning was embarrassed and firmly refused, “No, they’re all gone.”
“Sister, you’re my only sister.” The sharp-mouthed monkey was anxious, “Think of a way, get me some more.”
“Really, there’s none left.”
Jiang Ning said in a deep voice, really afraid that the next second he would mention “umbrellas.”
The sharp-mouthed monkey felt disappointed, but quickly cheered up, “Sister, what do you want? I have everything here.”
Jiang Ning have rice, flour, and oil, so she doesn’t have any idea.
So, she asked beside her, “What do you want?”
Huo Yishen thought for a moment and said to the sharp-mouthed monkey, “Do you have planting troughs and fertilizer?”
The sharp-mouthed monkey was surprised, “Brother, what do you need these for?”
Huo Yishen’s eyes sank, “Do you have them or not?”
Forced by his powerful aura, the sharp-mouthed monkey subconsciously swallowed, “Yes, but the planting troughs are plastic, they are easy to break in this weather.”
Without a clue, he couldn’t make much money.
“We want a batch, what’s the price?”
Actually, Jiang Ning’s space still had over a dozen large planting pots, but Huo Yishen probably wanted to plant potatoes in large quantities.
The potatoes were growing well, and after the harvest, they would probably be planted in large quantities. Before the extreme heat arrived, they could stock up heavily, either for themselves or for exchanging for other goods.
The sharp-mouthed monkey calculated, “There are about 30, 30*80 in size, and there are about 200 kilograms of compound fertilizer. What are you offering?”
“Hongmao Medicinal Wine, for kidney tonification.”
Wow, indeed, she’s his only sister, her moves are extraordinary. This stuff is great, rich people love it the most.
The sharp-mouthed monkey asked for a lot, “You want quite a lot of stuff, it’ll take 5 bottles of medicinal wine.”
Jiang Ning wasn’t a fool, “1 bottle.”
“Sister, you can’t do business like this.”
“This is to help you clear inventory. If we don’t take it, who else will you sell it to?”
The sharp-mouthed monkey was irritated, couldn’t she let him have some advantage?
After giving him a blow, Jiang Ning gave him a candy, “Don’t worry, if we have good stuff to exchange in the future, we’ll come to you.”
“Okay, since you’re my only sister.” The sharp-mouthed monkey agreed, reminding, “Remember, if there’s anything good, make sure to find me.”
They agreed on the time and the place of transaction, Huo Yishen carried the dog while Jiang Ning holds Doudou, they headed to the trading street.
Without shopping, they wouldn’t be aware. They found someone was secretly selling cold-resistant potatoes and solutions, they exchanged 1 portion required for 5 kilograms of rice, but unfortunately, not many people believed it.
Even if they did believe, how many could afford 5 kilograms of rice?
Some people had cotton shoes with thousands of layers, the uppers were knitted with wool, wrapped in cotton inside.
Jiang Ning picked them up and examined them. They felt warm, the wool was new, and there was no strange smell. The soles were waterproof and not stiff.
The shoes were good, but survivors couldn’t even fill their stomachs, who would be willing to exchange precious food for them, even if they needed them, they would buy second-hand ones.
As for where the second-hand goods came from, as long as they were cheap enough, don’t think about it too much.
A pair of shoes required half a kilogram of rice, bargaining could be done with 1 kilogram of frozen potatoes.
Jiang Ning picked three pairs, Doudou also picked one, “Brother, I want this one.”
Huo Yishen squatted down to pick for her and took two pairs of the same size.
Men weren’t careful with children, Jiang Ning suggested, “These shoes are durable, they won’t break even after a few years of wearing. Doudou grows fast, I suggest you buy a bigger size.”
Huo Yishen didn’t understand, “Please help Doudou pick two pairs.”
Helping the Buddha to the West and for the sake of carrying her dog, Jiang Ning really picked two pairs for him, bought a pair that was two sizes larger for Doudou after trying them on, and another pair for about ten years old.
“Sister, brother also wants.”
Saying that, she took a pair of red ones for Huo Yishen.
Jiang Ning almost laughed, “What size?”
After getting the size, she picked two pairs of gray ones.
Huo Yishen didn’t try them on and just took them.
The wealth needed to be kept secret, getting the things from the big backpack, Jiang Ning also paid for her share, a total of 7 kilograms of frozen potatoes.
After wandering around without finding what they wanted, seeing that the time was almost up, they went to the agreed place to find the sharp-mouthed monkey…
