Around 8 p.m., Cheng Zhi and her group arrived at Hefeng Valley.
Before the disaster, this place was a very prosperous area. Although it is not as prosperous as before, there are still people here. In some large squares, there are even people setting up stalls to sell things.
Since they were already there, the young women decided to do some shopping, so their parents decided to stay in the car and wait for them.
As they walked along, Xiao Feiran felt a pang of nostalgia; they had had a very happy time during those days of setting up their stall.
Cheng Zhi's eyes kept searching through the stalls, as if she wanted to buy something.
Xiao Feiran noticed her gaze, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to buy?"
Cheng Zhi answered in a low voice, "I want to buy some gasoline. I don't have much of what I stockpiled in Xiashan and Liancheng."
Finally, Cheng Zhi found it at a small stall in the distance.
Cheng Zhi winked at Xiao Feiran, signaling her to take Cheng Ye away.
Having successfully received the message, Xiao Feiran immediately pulled Cheng Ye to a stop, saying, "There are seeds for sale here, Cheng Ye. Do you have any vegetables you like to eat? Let's buy some to plant."
Cheng Ye stopped naturally and squatted down to examine it carefully.
Seeing that the two women had stopped picking seeds, Cheng Zhi continued walking forward. Huang Yiyi, worried, quickly followed Cheng Zhi's pace.
"Boss, how much is the gasoline?" Cheng Zhi asked as she walked over.
The little boy wearing a mask looked Cheng Zhi up and down, his tone disdainful. "You want to buy it? A kilogram of grain and a liter of oil, can you afford it?"
Cheng Zhi thought for a moment and said calmly, "I want 200 liters."
The boss clearly didn't believe it; he even laughed, "Hahahaha, don't talk nonsense, okay? You guys really dare to say 200 liters."
It would take time to get so much food out of the space, and Huang Yiyi didn't want to delay.
She was getting a little impatient. "What am I doing here late at night, just teasing you? Tell me if you're going to do this business or not. 200 liters is no small amount. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss out."
The boy opposite thought for a moment after hearing this, then put away his small stool and sign. "Cash on delivery, you better not be playing me."
While following the boss to pick up the goods, Huang Yiyi deliberately fell behind when they were almost at their destination. She found a dark place, took out all the items, and put them in the SUV with the broken window.
The owner opened the gate to the courtyard and patted the large iron barrel in front of him. "200 liters."
Then he pointed to a row of small buckets placed against the wall in the distance, "Those are all 20-yuan buckets."
Cheng Zhi glanced at them and said, "I'll take the 200 one, and I'll take three of the smaller ones too."
Huang Yiyi, who had rushed over, pointed to the car outside the yard and said, "I brought everything for you. You should weigh it quickly."
Not knowing when the other party had driven over, the boss immediately became wary. He retreated behind the oil drums, thinking, "You didn't bring a whole carload of people to rob me, did you? If I get close, someone inside will kill me!"
The two people: "..."
How come you, a local, are more afraid than us two outsiders?
Huang Yiyi was speechless. "Boss, we just wanted to buy some simple things. That truck was empty, but when we opened it, it was full of big potatoes and sweet potatoes!"
The boss's face clearly said, "You can say whatever you want, but I don't believe you."
Having no other choice, Huang Yiyi went over, turned the car around, and opened the trunk to show the boss.
The shop owner shone a flashlight on the potatoes and looked around, then asked, "You really don't have anyone hiding under your sweet potatoes?"
Cheng Zhi's remaining patience vanished completely at this moment. She rolled her eyes dramatically and raised her voice, "Boss, your idea is so lame! Actually, my sweet potatoes and potatoes turn into people on the night of the full moon! Do you believe I'm a potato that turns into people?!"
The shop owner trembled at Cheng Zhi's shout, "...Don't be angry, I'm just being a little cautious, I'll weigh it now."
"Right now, immediately!"
"good!"
The boss finally got to work, and Cheng Zhi and Huang Yi leaned against the car to supervise the work.
If the weight matches, the boss will help them load the truck.
The two women glared at him angrily, and he felt a chill run down his spine, fearing that he would be killed by these two fierce-looking women at any moment.
After everything was moved, the boss even gave them a 10-liter bucket of oil with a smile.
After asking them to leave the yard, the owner slammed the gate shut.
In the dark, with no one around, Cheng Zhi quickly put the largest gasoline can into her spatial storage.
The two got into the car, and Huang Yiyi suddenly patted her chest a few times. "Ugh, this boss was so slow and indecisive, he almost drove me crazy!"
The two of them rushed back, afraid that their parents would worry if they stayed too long.
When they got back to the square, they found that the people there weren't in a hurry at all; in fact, they had already started socializing.
And the people they were with were none other than their friends who had come all the way from Yudu.
When Zheng Wan saw them return, she immediately rushed over, "Surprise! I finally caught up with you after all that rushing!"
Chen Siyu, holding her younger sister's hand, jogged over. Zhiyu was especially excited to see Cheng Zhi and pounced on her, clinging to her, "Sister! You haven't come to see me these past few days!"
Cheng Zhi quickly hugged Zhi Yu tightly, afraid that she would fall. "Because I have to pack my things. Once we get there, we can play together every day."
