But it was said that December was coming soon, and the city was determined to successfully supply desalinated seawater before the new year. As a New Year gift, it would be given to the people of the city, so it has been working overtime to desalinize seawater.

The progress is also reported on the news every day, giving confidence to the citizens who are almost unable to carry it anymore and are out of water.

It’s true that I can’t bear it any longer.

The water supply was stopped for more than two months, which was a disaster for the city.

Even if some people have stored water, some people have underestimated it and thought that desalination of seawater in the city will be available soon, so they do not store so much water. After all, not everyone is like An Ran and Zhang Yuanyuan, who save two or three tons.

For some people, one ton is enough. After all, large water storage tanks will take up space at home. Many people don’t have much space. Now they need to store not only water, but also food and other things at home.

It was so crowded with things that there was nowhere to put several large water storage tanks. After all, the city was not like the countryside, where the place was so big. Many people in the city bought very small houses, so there was no such a large area to store too many things.

Because we couldn’t store so many things, we stopped running water for more than two months. Many people’s stored water was almost gone, so it’s normal.

At first, people who were short of water could find others to buy it. As more and more people were short of water, more and more people were buying water, and fewer and fewer people were left with water.

People were also afraid that the desalinated seawater would not come for a while, so they did not dare to sell it, so it became increasingly difficult to buy water. Soon the price of a pound of water exceeded the price of a pound of rice.

This is also normal. After all, rice is now supplied by the country at a low price, so it cannot rise for the time being. However, water is temporarily unavailable, and people have to drink water, so it is normal for prices to rise all the way.

More and more people come to An Ran's house to buy water, and many of them are repeat customers. Knowing that her house has water but cannot buy it elsewhere, they come to her to try their luck again.

Because Anron knew that water supply would be available soon, he sold some to them.

Anyway, she won’t sell more. She will stick to the two tons of water she has saved. Until it is sold out, she will not take any extra water from the space to continue selling. After all, the water stored in the space is for Miaomiao to drink.

of.

Soon, seawater desalination was finally supplied, and during this period, Enron sold about a thousand kilograms of water, got hundreds of thousands of yuan, and hundreds of kilograms of grain - some people had no money, so they used grain.

Replaced.

Seeing so much money, Anron used it to pay off all the mortgages and the extra money, and exchanged it for some food - because there is a national supply of cheap food, as long as you have money, you can really buy food now, and there is plenty of it.

Like Wang Xinguo, the family doesn't have enough money, so they have to exchange grain for money.

Desalinated seawater has no other problems except that it is expensive per ton, tastes bad, and is said to be bad for your health.

It can only guarantee the most basic supply for residents, and it is impossible to use water casually.

Of course, this is now. With development in the future, it will be better when there is more water, but it cannot be used casually, but in stages - the basic supply of water is supplied at the current price; the price of excess water is extremely expensive, and it does not mean that you have money.

People can’t afford it.

Although it can only guarantee the most basic supply for residents, the availability of desalinated seawater on the market means that the water problem has been solved. As a result, the previously skyrocketing water price has plummeted. However, no matter how sharply it plummets, it still remains at 100 yuan per pound.

The reason why it is still so expensive is that some people, like An Ran and Zhang Yuanyuan, want to buy fresh water for their children to drink. In this case, there are people buying it, and there is less and less fresh water, so the money cannot fall. In fact,

, the price of fresh water will continue to rise in the future, because there are always people who want to buy fresh water, but fresh water resources are becoming less and less. As it is almost a non-renewable resource, it is not getting more and more expensive.

The reason why it is said that it is almost a non-renewable resource is because although there is basically no rain due to drought, it only rains basically once a year, but the rain is not heavy. If you want to collect water, you can only collect it.

Just a little bit.

Since it can still rain and receive a little water, filter this natural water and it will naturally become fresh water.

In addition, some people dig deep wells to collect water in places where the land used to be humid in the south, and some go to icebergs to obtain melted water. These are also very effective - collecting melted water from icebergs is prohibited. After all, they have to take care of the survival needs of ice animals.

But there are always people who take risks and steal.

In other words, there is still some fresh water, but there is just less of it. Because it is scarce and some people need it, it is expensive.

There is water and food. Currently, the country is still supplying affordable food, and everyone has enough to eat. So Q City, which was almost in chaos, has calmed down again. An Ran also breathed a sigh of relief. The secret is very good. At least the supply of affordable food in the country has been cut off.

By now, the public security situation will be stable, and there will be no need to worry about it in my hometown.

With the supply of sea water, Li's father and Li's mother had water to drink for the time being, so An Ran suggested spending some money to dig the well at home deeper, so that there might be more water.

They didn't dare to dig a well before because the water supply in the city was cut off, so they lived on the well water. Now they have sea water to drink. They can use sea water for a while. When the well water is ready, they can drink the well water. Anyway, the well water

Water is always better than sea water.

I am originally from Q City, which is considered a water town in the south. Otherwise, there would be no big rivers passing through the city. In this case, the groundwater is still very rich, so if you dig a deeper well, there will definitely be water, which can last

In the case of drought, water supply can be maintained for a long time.

Father Li and Mother Li were moved by An Ran's persuasion. Of course, the main reason was that An Ran said that she had sold a lot of fresh water she had saved before and made a lot of money. She had money to dig a well, so she told them to do it without worries, and she also said that she was looking forward to it.

I will be able to drink fresh water in the future instead of having to drink sea water; also, if there is enough water, I can farm, and if there is more, I can even sell it to make money.

An Ran's words completely moved Father Li and Mother Li. They had also heard that desalinated seawater was not good. It would not be a problem for them to drink it when they were old, but they could not let children drink it. Besides, it would be great to have extra water for farming.

, so Li’s father and Li’s mother agreed after hearing what An Ran said.

An Ran saw that Father Li and Mother Li agreed, and immediately hired a construction team to dig a well.

There have been a lot of construction teams digging wells recently. After all, people in many places want to dig their wells deeper and have water to drink, so their business is naturally getting busier and busier.

It's the end of the world, some companies have gone bankrupt, but some companies are getting better and better. Obviously, this kind of well-drilling company has a very easy life, and there is no shortage of business anyway.

Because there is no shortage of business, the price of drilling a well is much more expensive than before the end of the world, directly ten times as much as before. That's it, they are not worried about business. Anyway, there are many people in Q City who want to drill deep wells. This company
