The Rookie Returns: Soaring in the Apocalypse

On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.

However, on the verge of death, s...

Chapter 13 Someone Knocks on the Door

5 tons of chicken eggs, 2 tons each of duck eggs and goose eggs.

2000 salted eggs and 2000 preserved eggs.

Old Ding's goods are simple, and the prices are easy to calculate.

Chicken is 8 yuan/jin, duck is 4.5 yuan/jin, goose is 11 yuan/jin, and rabbit is 10 yuan/jin. All are slaughtered.

Chicken eggs are 4.5 yuan per jin, duck eggs are 14.8 yuan per jin, and goose eggs are 12 yuan per jin.

Salted eggs are 7.5 yuan per jin (500g), and preserved eggs are 0.6 yuan each.

"Young lady, the eggs can be weighed, but the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits need to be slaughtered and weighed on the spot. The price will be known after the weight is measured. We have chickens and ducks, but we don't have enough geese and rabbits, so they need to be slaughtered on the spot and we can deliver them tomorrow."

“No problem, I’ll pay a deposit of 100,000 first, and the rest will be paid upon delivery.”

Roughly calculated, the total payment was over 300,000 yuan, with Zuo Ling paying 100,000 yuan, which is reasonable.

"Okay, okay, okay, no problem. Shall I deliver the egg to you today?"

"Okay, call me before you send it."

With just a few words, a large chunk of the matter was settled, making Zuo Ling feel much more relaxed.

Lao He wanted to take Zuo Ling to the seafood section, but Zuo Ling, remembering yesterday's lesson, refused.

"Time is too tight, let's do it another day, I have other goods to pick up."

"Then you go ahead with your work, and contact me if you need anything."

"Don't be too greedy after closing one deal," Lao He was good at comforting himself.

After leaving Xinfa Market, Zuo Ling went to a steamed bun shop.

The owners worked non-stop, their hands almost cramping from wrapping the buns, but they finally finished wrapping 10,000 buns and froze them in the freezer.

Since we're here, we should definitely have a nice, satisfying meal before we leave.

There won't be another chance!

Zuo Ling ate her fill of seaweed and egg drop soup, two steamers of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and two kinds of cold dishes.

Check out and return to the warehouse.

She didn't want to go anywhere else; she just wanted to wait for the goods.

Halfway there, the young man from the hardware store called to ask if a batch of shelves could be delivered first, since they were already finished.

Zuo Ling was worried about not having any shelves to use.

The shelves arrived before the eggs, and the delivery driver installed them on-site, delivering 300 sets first.

The project was bigger than Zuo Ling had imagined; the eggs had arrived, but the shelves weren't even fully loaded yet.

Nine tons of eggs were neatly arranged on the shelves, a pleasing sight to behold.

The master kindly reminded:

"Miss, the shelves you ordered are large, and there are still 200 that haven't been delivered yet. I'm afraid there won't be enough space."

Even if you force it in, it will fit. The workers mean that you need to leave an aisle in the middle. Otherwise, how will you put the goods in?

They sent over a batch first because the factory had no room to store them.

Therefore, let me add one more thing.

Zuo Ling waved her hand: "It's alright, I'll take it away anyway."

The driver was bewildered: "Loading it up and then hauling it takes up space and is difficult to load onto the truck. It would be much better to load it when we get there."

Zuo Ling jolted awake, forgetting about the matter, and forced herself to say:

"They're too lazy to assemble it themselves, they prefer to leave it like this. Oh well, don't worry about it, someone else will take care of it anyway."

The master looked at me like I was an idiot. Strange things happen every year, and this year I've encountered one too.

Zuo Ling sighed, "Why are you all so rational? If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have felt any leaks."

She was sweating profusely, but luckily she was just a nobody and no one was watching her 24/7.

Otherwise, hmph, hmph...

After seeing the masters off, Zuo Ling closed the courtyard gate and let out a long sigh of relief.

With a wave of the hand, shelves filled with eggs appeared in the space.

The remaining shelves were moved into the space, and the goods ordered yesterday were arranged, freeing up quite a few shelves.

Thinking that a lot of groceries would arrive tomorrow, I moved the empty ones out again.

After finishing everything, I was so exhausted that I was almost completely drained.

She can't access the space now, so she can only use her consciousness to adjust the goods.

The time spent in the awakening space is too short, and consciousness cannot withstand the long-term burden.

Someone knocked on the door, but Zuo Ling remained silent, lost in thought.

The outer wall only keeps out honest people, not scoundrels.

I'm curious to know if anyone will try to force their way in if no one answers.
