Chapter 144: Prescient
"You mean......" Li Jia looked at Li Han in surprise and asked, "Will this snow fall for a long time?" β
"yes, remember what I told you about El NiΓ±o last month? Recently, the low temperature has been going on for many days, setting a low temperature record in Kitatsune City, so there is a good chance that this snow will fall for a long time. Li Han nodded and said, "You see that the snow on the road is already more than ten centimeters, and the road will be closed tomorrow if it passes overnight tonight." β
"Fortunately, I heard that you stocked up on some ......food in advance," Li Jia said with some palpitations, "Then let's hurry up!" Go home early after selling! β
Next, they cleaned up all the bread with the regular customers who came to the store to buy bread, half sold and half gave away, and at the same time told the customers who came to the store to stock up on some food at home in advance to survive this snowstorm that may last for a long time.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, they emptied the cake and bread in the shop and prepared to close the store and go back. By this time, the snow outside had already covered the tires of the car.
"Get in the car, Jiajia, I'll send you back." Li Han opened the car door and said.
Now the snow is very thick, and even driving has become very inconvenient, so you can only move slowly, so the road conditions are also very poor, and there are many traffic jams on the road.
finally sent Li Jia home, and it was already past eleven o'clock.
"Jiajia, take care of yourself at home." Li Han admonished, "If you need help, contact me." β
"Well, it's not a big deal, isn't it just a snow? Maybe it will stop in a few days. Li Jia smiled disapprenousively, "I will go to play with you during the Chinese New Year, remember to prepare something to eat." β
After seeing Li Jia go upstairs, Li Han and Wang Man returned to the car.
"Why don't you go and see your uncle and aunt?" Wang Man looked at Li Han and asked worriedly, "The snow is so big, I'm a little worried......
"Well, then hurry up." Li Han nodded, and then drove back to his door with difficulty.
After knocking on the door, Li Jianguo came to answer the door: "Yo? Why did you go back at this time? β
"It's snowing too hard outside, I'm worried about you and your mom." Li Han explained, "Is there still food at home? This snow is likely to fall for a long time, so you have to stock up a little. β
"Yes, rest assured. That's enough for me and your mom for a week. Li Jianguo replied.
"Okay, then you two will stay at home for the next few days, don't run around." Li Han admonished.
He is ready, if his parents don't have anything to eat by then, he can get some fruits and vegetables from the vegetable market and bring them to his parents, not to mention that there is still canned food he has stocked up at home, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Yo, Meimei is here? Have you eaten? At this time, Ye Xiaofang saw Wang Man, and her face immediately smiled.
Wang Man also smiled sweetly: "Hello Auntie, I haven't eaten yet, I'm worried about the situation of you and your uncle." β
"What can I do with your uncle? Come on, come on, come in. Ye Xiaofang took Wang Man's hand and smiled, "Stay here for lunch, right?" By the way, how did you plan the Chinese New Year? Let's have a New Year's dinner together? β
"Hmmm! I thought so too! Wang Man nodded happily.
"We'll talk about it then." Li Han replied, "Depending on the situation, we will decide whether to go to our side or come here." β
"How's your mom? It's okay if she's alone at home, right? Ye Xiaofang took Wang Man's hand and asked worriedly, "Why don't you eat as soon as possible and go back early?" β
"It's okay for her to cook her own meals once in a while, she's been feeling better lately." Wang Man smiled and said, "Xiao Han and I can go back before the evening." β
"Ouch, then stay for a meal and have a good chat with your uncle and aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's still so beautiful......" Ye Xiaofang pulled Wang Man to sit down.
Li Han reminded his father as vaguely as possible of the unusual nature of this blizzard, and asked them to prepare in advance.
Then the two had a light meal at home, and Li Han and Wang Man said goodbye first.
"Mom and Dad, I'll go back first, the snow will be too thick to drive in a while." Li Han explained, "Wait a few days for New Year's dinner, and see if you come over to our side or if we come over." If you really can't do it, wait for this snow to pass and then make up for the New Year's dinner. β
"That won't do! The New Year's dinner has to be eaten during the New Year. Li Jianguo frowned and said, "It's okay, don't we still have the Cadillac you sent?" The car has good performance and can drive through snow even if there is snow. When the time comes, I'll go with your mother to see you. β
"Okay, uncle, I'll have two more drinks with you then." Wang Man smiled obediently.
After leaving from his parents, Li Han took Wang Man and drove back to the rented house.
On the way back, Li Han could feel the howling of the snowstorm outside the car window in the car, like a roaring monster, which made people feel uneasy.
When I finally arrived, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by strong winds, making it difficult to walk an inch.
Judging from this situation, I am afraid that the snow will reach more than 20 centimeters tomorrow.
After returning home, they first came to Dong Yuehua's side to check the situation and make sure that everything was okay at home before returning to the next door.
"Ouch, finally home." Wang Man breathed a sigh of relief, took off his snowshoes, covered his little feet and complained: "My feet are cold to death......"
"Let's go take a hot shower." Li Han covered her little feet and smiled evilly, "Maybe I can join you?" β
Wang Manmei looked at him with silky eyes and smiled: "Well-yes, it's so cold today...... Then the girl was merciful and allowed you to join me. β
"Yo?" Li Han raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Man in surprise: "Really? β
Wang Man walked towards the bathroom with graceful steps: "Hurry up?" Otherwise, I'll regret it later. β
"It's coming, it's coming!" Li Han put the blizzard behind him and quickly followed Wang Man.
After taking a shower, the two of them also warmed up and changed into home clothes.
"I said that I would go up to twice a week, but I ended up exceeding ......the standard every week," Wang Man glared at Li Han in the mirror while brushing his teeth.
Li Han looked reasonable: "My girlfriend is so cute, what can I do?" β
Wang Man finally rinsed his mouth, and then reprimanded with wide eyes: "No, yes, face!" β
"Next time, I'll eat it below, okay?" Li Han scratched her nose and teased: "Go and blow your hair, it's so cold, beware of catching a cold." β
While Wang Man was blowing his hair, Li Han confirmed the situation at home, the refrigerators of the two houses were stuffed with all kinds of vegetables, meat and eggs, and the materials in the two refrigerators were enough for the three of them to eat for two weeks, in addition to instant noodles, bread, snacks and canned food, Dong Yuehua's medicine was also well prepared, and there was enough cat food and dog food.
"Well, it should be fine...... Li Han checked it all over, nodded with satisfaction, and looked back to see that Wang Man had already made the bed, sat on the bed and waved his little hand to him: "Come here!" What are you doing out there? β
"It's only four o'clock in the afternoon, huh?" Li Han couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's go to bed?" β
"Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, I can be lazy all year round." Wang Manjiao snorted and got into the quilt, and then shivered with cold, "Hurry up, it's cold in the quilt, I need my man's ......"
Li Han was amused by her, and also got into the quilt: "Okay, let's get up again after dinner." β
"Hehe...... Wang Man smiled happily and put his little feet on his legs, "It's snowing heavily outside, and my man and I are watching the drama under the quilt...... It's like the life of my dreams. β
Li Han also has to admit that this kind of life is indeed very comfortable.
But the next morning, January 21, two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, when they got up, the snow outside had reached half a meter deep, and the government had declared a citywide holiday.
At present, because it has just been blocked by heavy snow, everyone has not used up the supplies on hand, but the Chinese New Year is coming in two days, and everyone plans to stock up on a little supplies in advance, so at this time, you can see people struggling to advance in the blizzard everywhere outside.
However, because the road was blocked by snow and the logistics were cut off, most of the vegetable markets lost their supply, and the only few vegetable markets took the opportunity to increase the price, and there has been a situation on the Internet where a Chinese cabbage has risen to more than 40 yuan.
At this time, Li Han's preparations in advance showed the effect.
The snow plough he arranged for him to start work in the city, and although it is impossible for two snow plows to dredge the logistics of the entire city, they can clear the routes of the four vegetable markets, so as to at least ensure that the supply of these four vegetable markets will not be cut off.
"It's worthy of Mr. Li, it's really prescient!" Feng Shaobo said on the other end of the phone that he had to shout because of the strong wind: "At present, the four vegetable markets are in short supply!" Are we going to raise the price?! The rest of the wet market is going crazy! β
"No, isn't the price increase taking advantage of the fire at this time? What's more, we can't make a fortune by relying on this profit alone, so we have to take a long-term view and establish a good reputation first. Li Han immediately refused, "Inform the vegetable market to adopt a distribution system, so that everyone who comes can buy some fruits and vegetables as much as possible." Then set up a group for guests to scan the code to join the group, and then notify everyone when the new supply is added. β
"Okay, Mr. Li! I'm going to let them know! Feng Shaobo said and hung up the phone.
Li Han immediately contacted the company again, asking them to contact the government and the neighborhood committee to confirm that the families in difficulty should make statistics, and then distribute the instant noodles, canned food, bread, electric blankets and other materials they had hoarded before. Send the supplies ahead of time now, and then you can ensure that everyone has a good year.
But he was still a little worried about the situation in the vegetable market, so he was ready to go and see for himself.
After changing his clothes, Li Han turned around and found that Wang Man had also changed his clothes: "I'll go with you." β
"It's cold outside, fool." Li Han frowned.
"Even if I freeze to death, I'll be with you." Wang Manjiao snorted and grabbed his arm: "Elbow!" β
"Alas, I really can't do anything about you......" Li Han flicked her forehead helplessly, and then helped her pull up her hat: "Wrap it up!" β
(I don't know if it's due to the system or what, in the original manuscript on my backstage, it clearly shows "you", but many places in the text have become "δΌ±", which is very uncomfortable.) οΌ
