Chapter 121 Economic Crisis 2

Su Han stuffed her wallet into her backpack, thinking about how to make money. At this moment, she unexpectedly met a test player.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Su Han approached calmly.

In the corner, intermittent voices came over, "...I'm in urgent need of money for business...Can you help me cash it out?"

"Don't worry, you won't be deducted from the handling fee."

"The price is too high... You're not the only one here that cashes out credit cards..."

"One price...if it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it. I'll find someone else."

After a long while, the two men, after finishing their discussion, simultaneously revealed satisfied smiles, and it was obvious that they had reached a consensus.

"Let's go." After saying the last sentence, the test player left.

Su Han, who was listening to the whole process, "..."

The economic crisis is about to happen, and there are people who are so bold as to use credit cards to cash out and do business. She respects this man as a real man. But she is afraid that the bolder he is, the faster he will be in trouble.

Su Han shook his head and left quietly.

The business district is still bustling with people, and from the outside, there is no sign of decline.

She quickly calculated that she only had 900 shells left, but she had to survive for 20 days, so she could only spend 45 shells a day on average. This included food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. She might as well buy some medicine to stock up, just in case.

Should I find a job with food and accommodation, or open a stall to start a small business? Su Han was troubled.

Considering her own lack of funds and not wanting to borrow money to run her business, she finally decided to find a job.

There are job opening notices everywhere on the streets and alleys, and many shops are in urgent need of staff.

For example, a bakery apprentice works from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and earns $80 a day.

For example, the night shift staff of the hotel work from 8pm to 8am, with a daily salary of 100 yuan and accommodation included.

For example, a shopping guide in a shopping mall works from 9 to 5, has a basic salary of 50 yuan per day, and receives a 10% commission for making sales.

He directly passed the shopping guide position in the mall, hesitated for a moment between the bakery apprentice and the hotel night shift staff, and finally Su Han chose the bakery apprentice position.

The interview process was very simple. The boss, a man in his forties named Zhang, asked about his age and whether he could endure hardships, and then decided to hire Su Han on the spot.

Su Han thought that he would be hired because he looked hardworking and honest, but later he found out that was not the case. The bakery was particularly short of staff, so the boss didn't care to be picky...

Su Han had made bread and cakes at home, so he had some basic skills. So after Boss Zhang taught him once or twice, he was able to get the hang of it quickly. Mixing, kneading, and baking, he did the work very carefully, just like a veteran.

For this, Boss Zhang couldn't help but praise her, "The little girl is very good at making bread. Have you learned it before?"

Su Han replied without hesitation, "I have learned it." Although he was self-taught.

Even though there was one more person to help, the bakery's bread was still in short supply. A long line had already formed in front of the cashier, and many people were waiting to pay. And every time the freshly baked bread was put in the window, it would be snapped up in the blink of an eye.

Su Han worked hard, occasionally looking around inconspicuously. Gradually, she began to feel that the customers' pockets were not filled with money, but waste paper, so they could not wait to spend the waste paper.

After 5pm, the number of customers gradually dwindled, and Su Han finally had some free time to sit down and rest.

At 6:45 in the evening, Boss Zhang packed up and prepared to close the shop. He asked loudly, "Who wants the remaining bread?"

Su Han was stunned. She chose to be an apprentice in a bakery because she knew that bread must be fresh and sold on the same day. If the bread was not sold at night, it would often be discounted and sold at a low price.

She just wanted to get a bargain, but she never expected that the boss would be so generous that he actually planned to give the remaining bread directly to the employees!

Su Han raised his hand without hesitation, "I want it."

The other two employees were very pleased and offered to give it all to you.

"Take it. Don't hesitate."

Su Han was very surprised, "You don't want it?"

An old employee suddenly showed a vicissitudes of life expression and said in a very melancholy tone, "Before you came, the remaining bread was divided equally between the two of us..." The implication was that they were about to vomit from eating it.

So Su Han stopped being polite and happily accepted them all.

The bakery was doing very well, and the goods were sold out very quickly. But because there were so many varieties, there were always a few items that were overproduced and left over. In the end, Su Han got two croissants, a spicy pork floss bread, two sandwiches, five milk-flavored slices, and three cheese buns.

There are so many delicious foods! Su Han smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Before leaving get off work, Boss Zhang called the new employee to a corner and discussed with him, "You won't start working until after noon, so today you'll only be paid half a day's salary, and I'll give you 50 Bei. You'll start working normally tomorrow, and I'll pay you the full amount. Is that okay?"

Su Han held a bag of bread in her left hand and another bag of bread in her right hand, and she felt what happiness was from the bottom of her heart. She simply agreed, "No problem."

After everything was discussed, Boss Zhang turned off the lights, closed the door, and closed the shop.

Su Han ate two sandwiches, then carried two large bags of bread and happily went shopping in the supermarket. The newly received salary of 50 Bei was just enough to buy ten bars of soap, so she spent it without hesitation, put the soap into her backpack, and then took the bread to the park.

The so-called economic crisis refers to the gradual decline of the economy. The main manifestations are: rising unemployment, falling wages, increasing debts, significantly lower living standards, and rising crime rates. Although there are many goods in the stores, the poor have no money in their pockets and cannot even afford the most basic three meals a day.

Therefore, during the good years, Su Han consciously cut back on her spending, intending to save money for after the economic crisis. To this end, she even planned to sleep on a long bench in the park to save on rent.

Although we don’t know when the economic crisis will strike, that day will eventually come, it is just a matter of sooner or later.

Sitting on the long bench, Su Han glanced at the bag in his hand and sighed imperceptibly. It's inconvenient to not have a portable space! If this can be put into the space, why worry about eating in the future? But now I can only carry it in my hand and have nowhere to put it. The normal shelf life of bread is only three days. If you eat it after that, you may experience negative effects.

Just as I was worrying, a familiar voice sounded, "What are you doing? Are you planning to sleep on the park bench tonight?"

It’s Zhong Rui!

Su Han smiled bitterly and answered, "I'm currently experiencing life, and understanding what it feels like to go from a rich man to a poor peasant overnight." As she spoke, she couldn't help but miss the supplies she had stockpiled in the past, and the portable warehouse that had the function of keeping warm and fresh.

Zhong Rui sat down on the long bench and whispered, "The character I drew has a portable warehouse."

Su Han was surprised and turned his head suddenly.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Rui did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he looked quite irritable. “Except for the portable space, 500 shells in cash, and a credit card, I have nothing else.” He was extremely poor.

"Also, the satiety is 200, the cleanliness is 200, and the stamina is 200. The attributes are so low that I can't even look at them."

"The worst thing is that the profession is a mid-level milkman. In the dungeon, there is a 45% chance of getting a bottle of milk, a 10% chance of getting two bottles of milk, and a 1% chance of getting ten bottles of milk every day. The effect is so useless that it makes me want to vomit blood."

"At least he's better than me. Same attributes, intermediate silversmith profession, also useless. Besides, I only got 1,000 shells in cash and a credit card." Su Hanxin said, she would rather spend 500 shells in exchange for a portable warehouse.

"Don't talk about these sad things. Have you eaten?" Zhong Rui changed the subject.

Su Han replied, "I work in a bakery. You can take away the unsold bread. I've just had dinner. Would you like some?"

"I ate it. I ate barbecued skewers." Zhong Rui leaned back on a bench and recounted his experience. "I saw that business was good recently, so I bought some lamb hind legs and bamboo sticks, and skewered the lamb to sell for barbecue."

Su Han took the initiative to hand over the bag and said, "The bread is with you." After all, his friend had a portable warehouse.

"Aren't you afraid that I will embezzle it?" Zhong Rui joked.

"You didn't betray me in the final battle, but now you betray me for two bags of bread?" Su Han asked back.

Zhong Rui was speechless. This really didn't make sense.

Su Han used two bars of soap to restore the cleanliness to full value. Then he put his head on his friend's shoulder and said very naturally, "I plan to sleep on the long bench. Lend me your shoulder."

Zhong Rui froze. Happiness came too suddenly, catching him off guard.

"Why?" he asked gloomily.

Su Han yawned, his voice unclear, "Of course I take advantage of your love for me to do whatever I want..."

What else can Zhong Rui do? Of course he pampers her.

He silently took off his coat, put it on Su Han, and put his left arm around Su Han's shoulders, so that the two of them got closer.

Su Han didn't seem to notice it, or she seemed to notice it but didn't intend to resist. Anyway, she soon fell asleep with a smile on her face.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Su Han woke up slowly.

Zhong Rui took out two bottles of milk, then took a bite of spicy pork floss bread and a sip of milk and started eating breakfast.

Su Han didn't hesitate to take another bottle of milk, grabbed the cheese bag and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

"What are your plans?" Zhong Rui asked.

"Make money to support the family, and pack up the remaining bread and bring it back." Su Han gulped down the milk and asked casually, "What about you?"

“Sell the kebabs and barbecue to make money, and if you can’t sell them, save them for dinner.” Zhong Rui replied.

Su Han's eyes lit up. She actually hoped that the mutton skewers would not be sold out. But she knew that was impossible. People have been spending money lavishly recently, as if they have a grudge against money. So she encouraged him, "Keep working hard and make money."

"Yes." Zhong Rui responded and agreed, "We'll meet here again in the evening."

"Okay." Su Han simply agreed.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the system's mechanical voice sounded on time, "Game Day 2."

Su Han was kneading dough when she suddenly found a silver bracelet on her right wrist. She quickly took it off and put it in her trouser pocket, then pretended nothing happened and continued to work.

There was an hour for lunch at noon, and Su Han took the opportunity to sneak out of the bakery and find a silver jewelry store to authenticate the bracelet.

After some measurements, the staff of the silver jewelry store concluded, "Silver bracelet, 999 silver, a total of 15 grams. If you sell it, our store is willing to buy it at a price of 3 bails per gram."

3 belergi per gram, 15 grams is 45 belergi.

Su Han was not giving up. "Can the price be higher? Look at the workmanship..."

Before I could finish my words, the staff smiled politely and said, "Sorry, when we recycle, we don't consider the workmanship, we only calculate the silver price."

Su Han couldn't help but feel discouraged. But thinking that 45 Bei was at least half a day's salary, she agreed to sell it.

At nearly 7 o'clock in the evening, Su Han had harvested two small honey cakes, four egg tarts, three sandwiches, a loaf of whole wheat bread, and three red bean breads. After packing up her things, she happily left work.
