Chapter 88

The bus was so crowded that Zhou Jiani stood all the way to the county town. After arriving at the county town, many people got off the bus, so Zhou Jiani managed to grab a seat by the window. As soon as she sat down, another group of people squeezed in, and the bus was crowded again before she even left the county town.

The experience of using public transportation these days is really not good. Besides being bumpy, the smell is also particularly turbid. Zhou Jiani was worried about motion sickness before going out, so she cut a few slices of ginger and wrapped them in a small handkerchief. When she felt uncomfortable, she put a piece in her mouth. She didn't dare to stare at her phone all the time. Occasionally she would grab a red envelope, swipe it twice quickly, and then look up quickly, otherwise she would feel even more uncomfortable.

She hasn't started the group shopping today, and the items that haven't been shipped out yet in the warehouse include storage stools, dried cowpeas, and the corn, sweet potatoes, and red dates that Zhao's eldest brother had just sent her when she went to Zhao Mei last night. After settling the accounts, she left Zhao Mei ten yuan and also got six finished hats, three green and three blue.

The corn and sweet potatoes haven't been packed yet. I'll do that after I settle down in the city.

The car drove all the way to the city. Zhou Jiani didn't feel so uncomfortable with the ginger in her mouth, but after getting off the car, she found a place to relax, took out the military water bottle that could be easily obtained, drank some water, and then looked at the Fuyong District Station at this time.

Fuyong District is the city center of Zhengfeng City. It has not yet shown the prosperity of the future, but Zhou Jiani also knows where the department store in the city is.

Let’s find a place to eat something first and then take the bus there.

I was worried about the discomfort of riding in the car this morning, so I only ate a little. Now I feel a little hungry, so I went to the nearby state-owned station restaurant to eat.

The meal was light. We ordered stir-fried vegetables, millet porridge and steamed buns. After eating, we bought two sugar triangles and two steamed buns before leaving and went to the department store.

Looking at the two-story department store in front of her, Zhou Jiani felt a little complicated. This was the place where she often came to buy discounted clothes in her previous life, and finally met Liu Ailing, fainted, and was reborn.

After bankruptcy in the late 1990s, it was acquired and changed to Fuyong Shopping Mall. Later, it experienced bankruptcy again and was changed to "Jinlin Commerce". It is estimated that Jinlin Commerce should be the industry in which Liu Ailing's family participated in investment.

The department store in front of us was in its heyday. There were many people coming in and out. When we entered the lobby, it was also very crowded and bill clips were flying all over the place.

Although its scale cannot be compared with the department stores in the provincial capital, and the shelves are not divided as detailed, most of the items are mixed and squeezed on a shelf, it is also a famous building in Zhengfeng City.

Zhou Jiani had originally just planned to come here to buy some goods, but for some reason, after walking in, she felt as if she was floating, and her complicated emotions couldn't be calmed down. She found a corner with few people and stood there for a while before she felt like she was returning to consciousness.

Yes, there was a moment just now when it seemed as if my consciousness was about to escape, but I didn’t feel scared or panicked, and now I don’t have that strange feeling anymore.

Zhou Jiani began to squeeze into the crowd to buy things.

"I want three bamboo thermoses... Comrade, three bamboo thermoses, please give me the receipt." Zhou Jiani was standing behind the two older sisters, holding up the banknotes and reaching through their shoulders, shouting loudly.

The teller was very busy. After Zhou Jiani shouted five or six times, he took the money and bill from her hand, counted them, wrote out the receipt, and threw it to the cashier.

The next step is to wait for the cashier to send the stamped receipt back to her.

After waiting for nearly ten minutes, her receipt finally came back. She picked up the goods and held them high up as she squeezed out of the crowd. Seeing that there were more people on the cloth side, she went to the side selling enamel products first.

There are so many people and so little space here that her purchasing efficiency is much lower. After working for more than three hours and feeling like she was almost out of oxygen, she only bought three thermoses, four enamel pots, ten handkerchiefs, two enamel basins, five baskets, and six brooms for sweeping the kang.

The time she spent waiting at the counter for the receipt was not as long as the time she spent out restocking the goods.

I was busy and sweating.

Zhou Jiani didn't plan to buy any more and would come back early tomorrow.

The advantage of having so many people is that the teller is so busy that she doesn't even look up. I probably can't remember what she looks like. I can come back tomorrow to buy some, then go to the Second Department Store in the North District, and then slowly walk around the city.

There was a guesthouse nearby, so Zhou Jiani checked into a single room. She had a shower in the hotel, so she grabbed her things and went in. Then, after returning to her room and locking the door, she pulled out a cordless hair dryer and began to blow-dry her hair.

The only things she wanted to buy a few days ago were a shoe dryer and thermal underwear, but no one had opened them yet. She bought everything else.

Especially this wireless hair dryer, which can be charged with a mobile power bank and is quiet, which is super convenient.

I blew my hair dry and planned to lie down for a while before getting up to eat.

She didn't plan to go out in the evening, so she ate the candied triangles and steamed buns she bought at noon, with shrimp paste and ham.

She also took some of the fried noodles that Aunt Zhang gave her that day, so she could make a bowl of it as porridge.

I felt a little carsick today, and after being squeezed in the department store for three hours, I felt the aftereffects were starting to kick in and my head was a little swollen. Zhou Jiani originally planned to lie down and browse her phone to divert her attention, and open a group chat by the way, but she fell asleep as soon as she stretched out her mind.

After falling asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, there was a huge screen above the void in front of her eyes. The content on the screen was her golden finger group buying group. She tried to reach out and poke it, but a prompt popped up saying that the version was being upgraded and the operation could not be performed.

Zhou Jiani looked up and stared. As the progress bar continued to advance, other images on the screen jumped and disappeared.

For example, her cheat group originally did not display the number of people, but now during the upgrade process, there is suddenly a bracket after the group name and a number (9999) is displayed.

【Daily welfare group purchase group (9999)】

Zhou Jiani couldn't help but laugh even in her dreams, wondering when WeChat would open a group with 10,000 members? After all, according to normal understanding, the number in brackets is the number of group members displayed.

And they have become one group, so could there be two groups?

The upgrade progress bar is still moving forward, and the small icons on the interface are flashing continuously. There is a trash can icon in the lower left corner of the main page'Click me to start a group', and a small curved arrow icon in the lower right corner.

I don’t know how long it took, the subsequent content of the dream gradually became blurred, and Zhou Jiani woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that the dream was still clearly lingering in the back of her mind. She laughed. Maybe she had been checking her phone too frequently in the past two days, and the dreams were all about her golden fingers.

I stopped checking my phone and upgraded in my dreams.

The light in the room had dimmed. Zhou Jiani touched the cord at the head of the bed and turned on the light. The dim light was only slightly brighter than a candle.

He got up and sat against the head of the bed, opened his phone and was about to take out the thermos to drink water, but his expression froze when he looked over. The next second he shuddered and was completely awake.

I stared at the interface for a long while before reacting: "Oh my god, the version has really been upgraded?"

Previously it was 'Daily Welfare Group Buying Group', now it is 'Daily Welfare Group Buying Group 1 (9999)'.

Go back to the main page and click on the trash can in the lower left corner. Two options will pop up: 'Scan and destroy' and 'Scan for paid recycling'.

She hurried into the warehouse and found the trash can there, its function unchanged. An idea suddenly occurred to her, so she took out a bottle of lactic acid bacteria and drank it in a few sips. She put the bottle on the bed and scanned it with the trash can newly added on the main page. The bottle disappeared by itself.

Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "In the past, I had to scan them into the warehouse first and then destroy them from there. Now I can destroy them directly on the main page."

It is quite convenient.

The operation method of paid recycling should be similar, so that if you have cardboard boxes, waste paper, empty bottles and other garbage in the future, you can choose to recycle them for a fee.

“This feature is pretty good!”

Look at the small arrow in the lower right corner, click it, and a prompt will pop up: [The entrance to the second group is for information transmission only, you cannot enter].

Zhou Jiani scratched her head, a little confused: "It can only transmit information, but cannot enter... Then how to transmit information?"

Moreover, this is really a second group!

I returned to the group, looked carefully at the group purchase content, and suddenly said "Oh".

Understood!

[[Transfer to Group 2] Blueberry group sale, today's special offer price 14.9/catties, 29/2kg, enter the link to grab it, link...]

"So this is the information forwarded from Group 2?"

The chain message also changed, and it moved very quickly, with some members even adding the words "Group 2" at the end.

It doesn’t really make any difference whether she adds the group or not, after all, she still can’t view the group member information.

However, the cheat code version can be upgraded, and this function may be opened in the future.

Continue to read the messages in the group.

[Golden Pillow Durian Group Sale Opening! Super high-quality durian, today's special discount price... Enter the link to grab it. The link... has been transferred to Group 2...]

Zhou Jiani chose the blueberry that was transferred from the second group and placed an order. Well, the purchase and pickup process was still the same as before, except that there was an additional trading channel.

It just so happened that she was planning to open the storage stool and the dried cowpea group to try out the new function.

First take out the corn, sweet potatoes and red dates and pack them in plastic bags. Oh, she should buy a portable electronic scale. She has been using the background to check and pack, and forgot that she can also buy a scale.

I sent a red envelope first and marked it: Looking to buy an electronic scale!

Then I slightly edited the group order information for dried cowpeas. I didn’t set a scheduled delivery time, but started the group order directly.

There was nothing special on the editing interface, but when she pressed OK, a prompt popped up: Do you want to transfer to Group 2? A 0.1% transfer fee will be charged.

There is a fee, but the price is really reasonable, and there is an additional sales channel.

Zhou Jiani pressed OK, and after the group purchase information was sent, there was another prompt: The second group link was sent successfully!

"pretty!"

Continue to organize the group and sell the hats brought out this time.

[Military uniform role-playing retro five-pointed star octagonal hat for children, suitable for ages 6-8, limited group buy discount price 7.9/piece.]

Go up and buy the plastic woven baskets that were not sold out last time.

Everyone chooses to join the second group, as there are multiple channels. Things that are hard to sell here may just happen to be wanted by someone over there.

The storage stool is priced at 59 for the small one and 89 for the large one. Try selling them and see how quickly they sell to know whether the market demand and price are suitable.

However, this experiment probably won’t reveal anything, as the hats and storage stools are not large in size.

However, the speed of the dried cowpea chain was really fast. It swept across the screen and knocked away the shrimp balls that others had inserted. Seeing this, Zhou Jiani couldn't help but smile, and quickly pulled the shrimp balls back and grabbed a few pounds.

Finally, the sweet potatoes.

Well, in order to make the quantity look better, she didn't make each package of ten kilograms this time, but five kilograms. After all, there were only fifty kilograms, and ten people bought them all. Just like the plastic woven baskets that just ended, the sold-out information added among the dozens or hundreds of chain numbers looked a bit shabby, only five.

That day there were only five left.

After she posted the information about the sweet potato group sale, her storage stool was also sold out.

Multiple channels really make a difference, and the group is very lively today.
