Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 344 Emergencies



Chapter 344 Emergencies

Qin Anran then went to the fresh meat section. Compared to the vegetables and fruits, Anran was now quite calm about the price of the fresh meat.

Because the high price was something she expected, and she even felt it wasn't as expensive as she had imagined.

Nie Ming and her companions had all bought some meat from the butcher shop and packed it up. She thought about it and decided to buy some meat too, since she felt like she hadn't eaten anything without some meat.

She went to the row of pork stalls, where the price tag read 6 points per pound. She bought half a pound; any more and she wouldn't be able to finish it, and the refrigerator was out of power, so it would spoil in a few days.

Wait a minute! Right, there's no electricity at home! And no gas either, how is she going to cook all this food?!

After thinking for a moment, she ran to the household goods section and kept scanning the area with her eyes.

I've been searching for so long, ah! I found it!

Qin Anran took it down: a small gas stove and a small gas cylinder.

They're all in one place: a gas stove costs 28 points, and a gas cylinder costs 5 points.

Qin Anran deftly grabbed a gas stove and four small gas cylinders.

Four gas cylinders hold about 30 cubic meters of natural gas, enough for her to cook for several days.

The gas stove and gas cylinder were both taken out of a dimensional pocket.

Since there's no space available for iron and natural gas, it's impossible to produce anything related to them; therefore, these resources are finite.

However, these are necessities for them now, and they can't afford to be short of them. Yufei didn't set the price too high; if they run out, so be it. They'll figure it out themselves, Yufei thought irresponsibly.

After buying the gas stove and gas cylinder, Anran continued shopping.

Then her eyes lit up: a speedboat!

Qin Anran hurriedly looked at the price again: 150 points each. So expensive! She couldn't afford it.

An Ran reluctantly looked away from the five assault boats; she knew that if she didn't buy them this time, he basically wouldn't get any.

She had considered discussing buying an inflatable boat with the others who had come with her, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

It's much more convenient to have your own means of transportation; you can go out whenever you want. If you share a speedboat with them, what's the difference between you and them now?

Thinking about it, she continued looking. Next to the speedboat were fishing boats, and these fishing boats, which were larger than the speedboats, were actually cheaper, costing only 90 points each.

Huh?! Why is a fishing boat, which is even larger than a speedboat, cheaper than a speedboat?

An Ran, puzzled, compared the assault boat and the fishing boat and discovered the reason: the fishing boat required manual operation. Hmm, that was indeed a problem.

Then someone will have to row the boat when we go out, and if we get robbed... um... that won't do.

Qin Anran shook her head and continued looking to the side. There were inflatable rafts nearby. These rafts were also prepared by the Great Xia government for Yufei. Because they take up little space, the government prepared quite a few; Yufei alone had twenty or thirty in her dimensional pocket, and Cui Yu'an had about twenty or thirty as well.

The quantity is significantly greater than that of the assault boats, therefore the price will also be higher, at 60 points each.

Anran calculated her remaining points and realized she could buy it! Her eyes lit up as she added the inflatable raft and inflatable stick to her shopping cart – a total of 61 points.

Qin Anran calculated that the items in her shopping cart currently amounted to approximately 146.3 points.

Uh, that's too much! Anran looked at the items in her shopping cart; she still didn't have enough points!

She took a canister of natural gas from her shopping cart and bought some seasonings.

The total bill at Yufei's place was 145.7, wow, it's all gone in no time!

An Ran's other companions were all boys, and boys usually shop very quickly. Sure enough, Nie Ming and the others had already bought what they needed, except for Lin Wei with 76 points and Nie Ming who had a raft.

The others all bought a kayak, but Lin Wei, who hadn't, was getting anxious. He couldn't wait to get home and come back again.

Hopefully, they'll still have kayaks to sell next time I come.

After Qin Anran and her companions finished paying, they hurriedly left. When they returned to Yufei Supermarket, there were already quite a few people there signing up for membership cards and shopping.

Fortunately, most of the people who came to get a card and shop didn't have much to exchange for.

Lin Wei prayed silently that he would get a chance to ride a raft.

Their turn will be soon.

"Boss, we're here again!" An Ran greeted Yu Fei with a big laugh.

Yufei glanced up at Anran and thought to herself, "Oh, these few." She nodded to Anran and the others, indicating that they could proceed with the exchange.

This time, An Ran and her group brought much more gold and silver items; An Ran even brought a jade bracelet.

This was bought by her mother, who was away on a business trip abroad. Thinking of her mother, her eyes dimmed again. She had lost contact with her parents for a week now and wondered how they were doing.

I also hope that they can encounter such a supermarket, just like she did.

An Ran didn't think much of it and took the recharged card to enter the supermarket.

She now has 3425 points in her card. It seems like a lot, but it feels like she'll use them all up in no time.

An Ran, holding the card, went straight to the inflatable boat area. She figured if they weren't sold out, she'd buy another one; it's always good to have more of these kinds of transportation.

However, just as she had expected, the speedboats were gone, but the fishing boat was still there, and there were still a few inflatable rafts.

She thought about it and decided to take one out as a spare, just in case the raft she had just bought broke down, at least she would have something to keep.

Then she ran to the grain section. Now she had her own raft and lots of points on her card, so she could shop to her heart's content.

She planned to fill her kayak with cargo before heading back, and she believed the others thought the same.

Some people, though smiling broadly, left in a hurry. I'm 800% confident they'll come back.

Just then, an accident occurred.

"Hey~ Where did this pretty young lady come from? Running this supermarket all by yourself must be tough~ And you've got a disabled person with you. Come on, let your big brother take care of you."

A burst of noise erupted. The ordeal of the past two days had taught Anran not to meddle, but perhaps the atmosphere of shopping here was too much like the scene before the disaster.

An Ran couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound, only to see several burly men, some holding butcher knives and others baseball bats, standing in front of the female supermarket owner.

Another man, with a scar running from his forehead down to his chin, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, was harassing the female boss.

An Ran was a little worried. The female boss seemed to be in serious trouble. Was it still safe to buy this item? An Ran was anxious.

Sure enough, the man and his gang shouted at them to put down the supplies, saying they were taking over the area.

Chaos erupted instantly in the supermarket. Some timid women screamed and covered their heads, repeatedly saying it had nothing to do with them.

Some people also started to have crooked ideas.
