Chen Yuanyuan and his party saw that there was nothing left to eat, so Zhang Linlin and Chen Yuanyuan carried 20 kilograms of whole grains on their backs and prepared to go to the hardware store to find stainless steel welding rods.
He Yuehua and Grandma He planned to stroll around the market and buy some things before going home.
"You have pretty good physical strength. You can walk easily even with ten kilograms of stuff on your back." Chen Yuanyuan has always exercised and it was very easy to carry ten kilograms on her back. Unexpectedly, Zhang Linlin was not out of breath either.
"I have been doing a lot of weight-bearing training at home recently. It will be trivial to carry twelve flights of stairs in the future!" Zhang Linlin knew that her agility was not as good as Chen Yuanyuan's, and she did not have He Yuehua's height advantage, so she worked harder on endurance and weight-bearing.
The two walked to the hardware store and found that it was also crowded with people, and they couldn't squeeze through.
"It is estimated that many people will have to repair doors and windows after the hurricane, and by the time we get in, the items will be sold out." Chen Yuanyuan said, looking at the crowd vying for goods.
"Let's go to the nearby 4S store and have a look. I know where everything is stored." After that, Zhang Linlin took Chen Yuanyuan to the next street.
In addition to a few 4S stores, there are also several car beauty shops and car repair shops, but their doors are basically closed.
"Come on, I used to work in a 4S store. I'll take you through the back door." Zhang Linlin took Chen Yuanyuan to the back alley. As expected, many stores asked questions.
"The door is locked, let's pry it hard." Chen Yuanyuan was about to take out the crowbar in the space, but Zhang Linlin stopped her.
"Do you have iron wire? Hairpins or paper clips are also acceptable." Zhang Linlin asked.
"Yes." Chen Yuanyuan took out all three models from the space.
Zhang Linlin took a piece of thin iron wire and a hairpin, turned the tip into a hook shape, and pulled the door lock a few times before opening the door.
"Okay!" Zhang Linlin said happily.
"When did you learn this trick? It's amazing!" Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect Zhang Linlin to have lock-picking skills.
"Hehe, I always forgot to bring my luggage when I went out, and I also lost the key to the company's locker several times. After calling the locksmith several times, I also figured out the skills." Zhang Linlin said with a smile.
"It's up to you to search for supplies from now on. This saves a lot of time!" Chen Yuanyuan praised.
It's not like Chen Yuanyuan has never thought about buying those universal keys and unlocking artifacts, but she couldn't find them when she searched online before. After thinking about it, she decided to resort to violence. She didn't expect Zhang Linlin to have such skills.
"Ordinary door locks are still OK. I haven't tried the electronic locks or the ones at home." After Zhang Linlin said that, she took Chen Yuanyuan to the maintenance department of the 4S store to search for supplies.
After entering the 4S store, Chen Yuanyuan first put twenty kilograms of coarse grains into the space. After going to the maintenance department to find the steel bars she needed, Chen Yuanyuan did not waste the opportunity. Apart from the common wrenches and accessories, Chen Yuanyuan did not buy many car repair equipment. .
A tire stripping machine, a workbench for various special tools, an air compressor, spare parts, a lift, etc. Chen Yuanyuan had no experience in repairing cars, but with the cooperation of Zhang Linlin, she swept away all the needed supplies.
"Want to pick up a new car?" Zhang Linlin took a bunch of car keys and shook them.
Good guy, even Zhang Linlin knows where the hidden new car title is, seeing as her one year at the 4S shop was not in vain.
Chen Yuanyuan swept away all the cars in the exhibition hall. Although there are cars in the space, several people can't drive two at a time, but they might as well be used as spare cars or parts warehouses.
After sweeping away all the 4S shops, Zhang Linlin and Chen Yuanyuan continued to sweep several car repair shops.
Although the harvest was similar, what surprised Chen Yuanyuan was that there was a court prison car ready to be repainted.
Although driving a prison van on the road is too ostentatious, it is not only safe but also highly private.
The two of them collected the food for more than two hours, and when they saw that it was almost time for dinner, they were ready to go home.
"Linlin, do you know there is a bicycle shop near here?" Chen Yuanyuan thought that today is the day to collect transportation tools anyway, so why not arrange for her own bicycle that she forgot to buy before?
"I know, it's just at the intersection where you turn left." Zhang Linlin was in charge of decoration before. She walked around the area in her free time, and she went shopping around the Splendid Garden.
The two of them walked to the bicycle store, but they didn't expect that the store was open. Although they couldn't buy it for zero yuan, there was a sign outside the store that everything was half price. The price was right and it was not a bad idea to buy a few bikes first for transportation.
When the two were collecting bicycles in the store, a short-haired young man came into the store and kept begging the boss to buy his bicycle.
"Boss, please, I'm begging you. This is an imported carbon fiber bicycle. I spent more than 30,000 yuan on it. I only want 5,000, no, 3,000." The short-haired young man begged.
"Brother, I only have a small bicycle shop here. The price of the car is one thousand yuan. If it is so expensive and it is a second-hand car, it is difficult for us to sell it." The owner of the bicycle shop said awkwardly.
"Do you want to sell this car?" Chen Yuanyuan walked up to the young man to look at the car.
I just walked around the store, and although there are many models, I couldn't find any lightweight bicycles.
Chen Yuanyuan may not go out with them every time. In the future, if they want to use a car, they will have to carry it up 12 floors. If there are some heavy-duty vehicles, it will undoubtedly increase the load.
"Yes, do you want to buy a bicycle? This brand is a competition-specific bicycle, and the frame is made of carbon fiber," the short-haired young man introduced.
"How much do you plan to sell it for?" Chen Yuanyuan picked up the bicycle with one hand and weighed it. It was about 20 kilograms, which was indeed nearly ten kilograms lighter than the bike in the store.
"Three thousand, three thousand is enough. I just want cash. Please, my mother is dying of illness. The pharmacy only accepts cash." The short-haired young man's eyes turned red.
"Okay." Chen Yuanyuan readily took out three thousand-yuan bills from her backpack and handed them to the short-haired young man.
"Thank you! Thank you!" After receiving the money, the short-haired young man was about to leave.
"Do you have any other bicycles to sell?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"I have three more bikes at home. Do you want them?" Although the short-haired young man has a good family, he has already used up all his cash and jewelry in exchange for food in the past two months. There are very few people who are willing to take over the bikes, which are either priced at cabbage prices. When it comes to scrap collection, it’s rare to find such a cheerful buyer.
"Yes, do you live nearby?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Yes, I'm at Wanli Haoting, are you too?" Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's lavish spending, the short-haired man thought he was also the owner of Wanli Haoting, a high-end community.
"No, if it's convenient for you, let's go to Wanli Haoting to pick up the car at ten o'clock tomorrow. If the quality is about the same, I'll pay you according to the current standards." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay, my name is Du Zhanda. Let's wait at the south gate of Wanli Haoting tomorrow. There will be fewer people there." Du Zhanda did not dare to collect money blatantly at the gate of the community.
"Okay, Linlin, you can choose another seven or eight bicycles, and I will drive over." Chen Yuanyuan said.
The owner of the bicycle shop originally thought that if Chen Yuanyuan bought bicycles at Du Zhandana, these cheap bicycles would not be sold.
Just when he was worried about how to cash out, he didn't expect Chen Yuanyuan to buy seven or eight cars, so he immediately enthusiastically greeted Zhang Linlin to buy.
