The refrigerator is key to keeping food from spoiling, so its condition is of utmost importance. Therefore, Li Ming is currently only supplying power from the generator to the refrigerator and the fan. After all, there isn't much diesel left so he has to conserve it.
He also remembered the things in the three large freezers in the supermarket…he hadn't even finished packing up half the stuff in them. It seemed like a waste to just abandon them.
In this kind of weather, if the power outage continues, the stuff in the refrigerator will spoil in a matter of days.
But without giving up, and without power, how could he solve this problem?
"I need to move the generator from the internet cafe. There is a storeroom near the supermarket refrigerator. I can install the noisy generator from the cafe in the storeroom, and supply power to the supermarket's refrigerator to preserve the food."
