On April 1, 2024, which was April Fool's Day, black holes appeared and meteors descended, plunging humanity into apocalyptic disasters.
The reborn Ling Tian relied on his infinite space t...
When Zhao Liang heard the price, he was secretly happy. He was indeed a newbie. This time he caught a big fish. He was going to make a fortune!
Seeing him remain silent, Ling Tian thought the price was too low. Just as he was about to raise it a bit, Zhao Liang replied crisply, "Okay, but I need a 30% deposit first."
"Don't bother. I want these melons now."
"Now?"
This was the first time Zhao Liang had encountered this. Usually, the delivery was not picked until four or five in the morning of the next day. However, the customer was king, so he had to do whatever he was told. He was also afraid of more trouble, so after a moment's hesitation, he agreed, "Okay, I'll call my wife to come over and help."
Not long after, a typical rural middle-aged woman appeared in front of Ling Tian. Without saying a word, she nodded and walked over to Huo Liang. She handed him a set of harvesting tools, and he walked down to the melon field with a headlamp on to start working.
"Boss Ling, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
"Okay, you go ahead!"
Ling Tian walked back to the car, lit a cigarette, looked at the starry sky, listened to the chirping of insects and frogs in the night, and felt the cool breeze, which made him feel relaxed both physically and mentally.
The quiet night washed away his inner loneliness. The word "home" appeared in his mind for the first time. What is home? He was confused...
"One, two, three, go..."
The voices of Zhao Liang and his wife attracted Ling Tian. He looked over and saw him carrying something on the field while she was pulling something on the shore. Both of them were smiling. This picture was deeply imprinted in Ling Tian's eyes, and he understood something.
"Maybe this is home."
Although Ling Tian has lived two lives, he has been an orphan since he could remember and he doesn't know what home is. At this moment, the two of them reminded him of home, which made his mind confused.
a long time!
The cigarette is gone and my mind has returned to calm.
"If possible, it's not a bad idea to try the taste of home."
Ling Tian lit another cigarette and looked at the night sky with a deep look in his eyes.
"Boss Ling, it's almost done. Let's weigh it."
"Hey, here they come!"
After getting off the car and walking over, dozens of baskets of wax gourds were already piled there. Seeing that only two hours had passed, the two of them were really efficient.
Looking at the two people sweating profusely, Ling Tian also went to lend a hand when weighing and loading the goods. He didn't think too much and just did it simply as he pleased.
Thanks to his help, weighing and loading were done very quickly and were almost completed in less than half an hour.
The total amount was 3,120 kilograms. Ling Tian paid in cash, so Huo Liang and his wife were very careful and checked every bill two or three times.
"The count is correct. Thank you, Boss Ling."
"We each seek what we need. I hope we can still have a chance to cooperate. I'm leaving now."
The rated load of the small truck is just over one and a half tons, but with twice the weight loaded, the entire body of the truck sank a lot. Ling Tian was quite worried, but fortunately this magical car was quite powerful. Although it was a little slow, there was still no problem.
Ling Tian drove the car to an open space not far from the village and climbed into the car under the cover of night. Not long after, the entire car body was visibly restored to its original position. Needless to say, from all these changes, it was clear that Ling Tian had brought the newly harvested wax gourds into the space.
I patted my hands and dusted off my body, then immediately drove back to the city. I finally arrived at ten o'clock in the evening. Without even taking care of my rumbling stomach, I continued to rush to Fucheng Market in the southern district.
He was not setting up a stall at this time, but to reserve a spot. Unfortunately, he looked down on other vendors who made a living from the market.
Almost all the roadside parking spaces are occupied by small trucks, and many of them are lit up and used for night markets.
Ling Tian circled twice and finally stopped at the very corner. It was a little off, but it was better than nothing.
I locked the car, strolled around the market, and bought an electronic scale and red and white plastic bags for business use at a hardware store.
On the way back, he ordered fried rice noodles with egg at a roadside night snack shop for seven yuan. When he paid, Ling Tian looked at the few coins in his pocket with a bitter expression. This reborn person had fallen to the point of eating fried rice noodles. How pathetic!
After eating the noodles, Ling Tian climbed into the carriage, closed the iron door, turned on the flashlight, and took out the soft mattress and quilt from the space. From now on, this carriage would be his living area.
Fortunately, there is a small window on the left side of the carriage, so you don’t have to worry about suffocating when sleeping at night.
He didn't even dream of taking a shower. The conditions were limited, so he could only bring out a bucket of the water he had gotten for free and use a towel to wipe his upper body. He couldn't handle his lower body because there were cameras everywhere around him and he wasn't an exhibitionist.
I washed my feet with the remaining water, dried them, and climbed into the compartment. I was really tired after a busy day. After a while, I heard snoring like a bellows. Especially in the low and narrow space, the sound was like thunder.
In the middle of the night, there were continuous rumbling sounds outside. Ling Tian, who had been woken up, could not fall asleep again. He looked at the time and it was only four o'clock in the morning.
I opened the door and looked out through the light scattered in by the street lamps. It was already bustling outside. Various delivery trucks were coming in one after another. The roar of the engines and the shouts of the merchants intertwined to create a picture of prosperity in this peaceful and prosperous era in the early hours of the morning.
Ling Tian got some water to wash his face, and was not in a hurry to prepare to set up the stall. It was his first time doing business, so he needed to observe more and perhaps learn some tricks from it.
As the day dawned, many more customers came to the market to buy vegetables, most of them were elderly. Ling Tian followed their footsteps and wandered around the stalls. It really gave him a lot of experience. He even knew the purchase prices of some vegetarian dishes. For example, he bought all the wax gourds. Several stall owners bought them in the range of two, three, two or four yuan, and the prices were basically all set at three and a half yuan.
Why is it so expensive to buy the goods? Why is it only 1.5 yuan for me?
Afterwards, he paid two bags of Yingshuang and got an answer from a stall owner named Liu in the market. For stalls like theirs that only consume a dozen or twenty kilograms of a single crop a day, growers would never sell to them. All the produce was bought in batches by buyers, then sold to wholesalers and finally to individual buyers.
This process goes through several hands, and with the transportation labor and losses, it would be strange if the vegetables are not expensive.
In other words, the price of first-hand goods like his will definitely be lower.
"It seems that the price I charged was also taken advantage of."
Ling Tian figured it all out, but he didn't care about being a fool for once. After all, everyone has a first time, and every experience is a lesson learned. He just needs to be more careful next time.
