Chapter 59: Food Purchase Troubles



The staff member said with a sullen face: "No sale without a grain certificate, next one!"

The old man was not happy with this. The smile on his face disappeared and he shouted, "I have the ticket, why don't you sell it to me?"

"Where did you get the ticket? Leave now if you don't have the food allowance." The staff member said with a hint of threat in his tone.

Unfortunately, the old man didn't hear it and continued to yell, "What do you care where I got the ticket from? Hurry up and give me the receipt."

The staff member also got angry and stood up and walked into the inner room. He didn't come out until two or three minutes later.

Ning Xi was waiting outside for her number to be called, and watching the show at the same time. She found that within two minutes of the person who issued the note returning to his post, another staff member came out of the grain station and rode away on a bicycle.

Over there...isn't that the direction of the police station?

This is not the time to get off work.

The old man was still yelling inside, blocking the next person from coming forward to buy food. It was noisy and chaotic inside.

"The police are here!"

Ning Xi turned around and saw three men on bicycles coming. One of them was the staff member who had just left, and the other two were obviously police officers based on their clothes.

Seeing that the police were coming to the grain station, everyone made way for them.

"It's him." The staff pointed at the old man who was causing trouble.

"Hello! We received a report that your money and bills are of illegal origin. Please come with us to the police station to assist in the investigation." Two police officers came forward, surrounded the old man on the left and right, and took him away.

Ning Xi didn't expect things to turn out this way.

Buying too much stuff can actually lead to being reported. If there's no reason to explain, is this old man suspected of reselling tickets? This is a serious crime now.

"Number 30."

"I'm coming!" Ning Xi took the note, rice bag and oil bottle, answered loudly and ran over.

Although she has always been cautious, this incident still sounded a wake-up call for her. It seems that even if she has money and tickets, she cannot squander them lavishly at this time.

Whether or not you have anything to sell is one thing, but you may also get into unnecessary trouble.

"Okay!" The staff took the note and started weighing the noodles and rice.

The original owner had never bought food and had no related memories, so Ning Xi just deliberately observed this side and just happened to learn and use it right away.

The grain is stored in a row of large grain cabinets, each with a funnel attached to the outside. She has to put the bag on the pipe mouth under the funnel, and then pour it out from above after the staff has weighed it.

The oil is measured more finely, and it looks like not a drop more is given.

"Ouch!"

Just after tying the food to the back seat of the bicycle, Ning Xi heard a muffled groan. Looking towards the source of the sound, she saw a thin woman carrying a bag of food.

I don’t know if she sprained her waist or what, but she held the bag of grain tightly with one hand and pressed her waist with the other hand, then quickly let go, her face distorted and grinning.

In this day and age, there is no need to worry about the problem of fraud, and since the other party is also a woman, Ning Xi quickly stepped forward to help her hold the food.
