Chen Yan glanced at Liu Xiaolu's stall and found that the variety of vegetables was quite complete.
Radishes, potatoes, cabbages, celery, spinach, rapeseed, tomatoes, leeks, cucumbers, and even a few vegetables that Chen Yan couldn't recognize at first glance.
As for the demand for vegetables in the wasteland world, Chen Yan actually didn't think about how abundant the supply should be.
Because there is no need.
Some of it is good to eat, so naturally buy whatever is cheap and has the best value for money.
You don't buy cabbage that costs a few cents per pound, but insist on buying green beans that cost eight or nine yuan per pound. Aren't you just looking for trouble?
Of course, I buy from whoever I want. Since I met Liu Xiaolu in the vegetable market, I might as well buy all the goods from her stall first, killing two birds with one stone.
If there is any future demand, please tell Liu Xiaolu in advance and ask Liu Xiaolu to purchase more cheap vegetables specifically for him!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan gestured with his hands and said, "Sister Liu, pack up all these vegetables on your stall. I want them all."
Liu Xiaolu was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Xiao Chen, there's no need to be like this. No matter how bad my business is, I won't starve. After all, the monthly rent is a fixed income. I just feel that at my age, I can't really do any part-time work.
Now, when I work part-time at fast food restaurants and milk tea shops, my competitors are all young women in their early twenties, and I can't compete with them. I don't have a driver's license, so I can't work for an online ride-hailing company. Delivering food is too risky and unsafe, so I'm thinking about setting up a stall.
I'm just trying this stall out for a few days. If I can make it work, I'll do it. If I can't, that's fine too. Anyway, I took over the stall from someone else, and the lease isn't long. Even if I can't make it work, I won't lose much money. Don't spend so much money on me."
When Chen Yan saw that Liu Xiaolu had misunderstood, he quickly reached out to stop Liu Xiaolu from continuing.
She explained sincerely, "Sister Liu, if you say I have no intention of helping you at all, that's definitely a lie. But if you say I bought a bunch of food that I couldn't finish just to help you, that's absolutely nonsense.
I can't explain to you why I bought so many vegetables now. The only thing I can say is that these vegetables are really useful to me. And these vegetables are actually not enough. In the future, I will need to buy a large amount of vegetables every once in a while.
Even if I don't buy from you, I'll have to buy from other vendors. So why shouldn't I just buy from you? We're at least family, and if nothing else, you won't gouge me on price, right?"
When Liu Xiaolu heard Chen Yan say that they were family, her cheeks immediately turned red.
Seeing that Chen Yan's expression didn't seem like he was making up stories, Liu Xiaolu couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "Really? You...didn't lie to me?"
Chen Yan nodded seriously and said, "It's more real than real gold. If you don't believe me, just look at my sincere eyes! Sister, just think of it as doing me a favor, okay? I'm not just buying vegetables, I also have to buy meat, fruits and eggs. Although the purchase amount is not large, it's not small either. If I really get cheated, I will be taken advantage of, right?
Of course, the money isn't really important. Even if I get ripped off, it won't be much. But being taken advantage of is unacceptable. I can't handle that! So, sis, here's what I'm thinking. What do you think? I'll transfer the money to you, and then you can help me buy the leftovers at the market.
I have 20,000 yuan left from my purchase this time. After I transfer it to you, you can calculate the total sales of the vegetables on your stall and deduct everything. With the remaining money, you can help me buy meat, fruit, and eggs. I don't need high quality, the cheaper the better. After the purchase, I can have the seller deliver it to our neighborhood, okay?"
Liu Xiaolu asked in confusion, "Xiao Chen, are you working as a purchasing agent for a big restaurant? I've sold out all the vegetables on my stall, and they're only worth around 5,000. So you're going to have to buy another 15,000 worth of meat, eggs, and fruit?"
Chen Yan said with a smile, "You can think of me as a purchasing agent for a big hotel, but I only have two requirements. First, spend all your money. Second, don't buy expensive beef or mutton, or expensive ribs or tenderloins. Just buy cheap backs, pork knuckles, chicken breasts, duck, etc. If they're available, buy frozen. If not, buy fresh. The same goes for fruit and eggs. Only buy the right ones, not the expensive ones."
Liu Xiaolu felt a little puzzled by Chen Yan's request.
If I were really working as a purchasing agent for a big restaurant, I would definitely have to prepare all kinds of meat. I couldn't just buy cheap ones...
But Chen Yan obviously didn't want to say more, so Liu Xiaolu naturally didn't ask more questions.
After confirming that Chen Yan really needed to buy these things and not just to help herself, Liu Xiaolu felt a lot more at ease, and at the same time, she felt a little happy in her heart.
He was not only happy that his business was improving, but also happy that Chen Yan seemed to have a better job.
"That's it for now. I have something to do tonight, so I probably won't be home early. Sister Liu, after you finish shopping, have them deliver the goods to your door and move them into the warehouse in my house."
As Chen Yan spoke, he transferred 20,000 yuan to Liu Xiaolu via his mobile phone.
He didn't even have time to enjoy the 30,000 yuan bonus he had just received before he spent it all.
The money in the card shrank to less than a thousand in an instant, which made Chen Yan a little panicked.
But all-in is a kind of wisdom!
So it’s not a big problem!
After saying goodbye to Liu Xiaolu, Chen Yan returned to the stall where he had bought rice, flour, salt and oil before.
The amount of goods was not small. Although the stall owner and his wife had found a small truck, they had only moved less than one-third of the goods on it.
Seeing this, Chen Yan simply went over to help.
With the bonus of the physical fitness from the third-level awakening, each bag of rice and flour weighing about 100 kilograms was a piece of cake for Chen Yan.
With Chen Yan's joining, the efficiency of moving goods was significantly improved, leaving the stall owner couple stunned.
Everything was moved in a short while. The stall owner left his wife to look after the business, drove the pickup truck, and took Chen Yan with him. They soon arrived downstairs of Chen Yan's rented house.
Old buildings have their advantages. The small-property houses that Chen Yan rented were built with collective funds in the village. They were all six-story residences that were very popular more than 20 years ago.
And in order to avoid moisture, the so-called first floor is actually equivalent to the second floor.
Because the entire first floor of the building was actually turned into an above-ground warehouse.
Although not every household can afford one, the house Chen Yan rented comes with a warehouse, and Liu Xiaolu has not collected the rent for his warehouse.
From the perspective of a residential warehouse, the usable area is quite large, almost eight square meters, plus a floor height of two meters and two, the storage volume exceeds seventeen cubic meters!
It is more than enough to store the rice, flour, oil and salt you buy.
