Chapter 54 Specialty Shop
Lu Yuan led the two of them and walked carefully left and right in the heavy rain. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at a small shop in the alley.
This is a specialty store that sells local specialties from Pengcheng and Peng Province, as well as other foods that are convenient for giving as gifts.
Lu Yuan had bought a lot of things here before.
The store is not big and the owner is an old lady in her sixties.
At this moment, the heavy rain outside seemed to have nothing to do with her small shop. She sat quietly in front of the cashier counter wearing reading glasses, flipping through a book.
"Oh my, there are still people buying things in this heavy rain?"
The boss smiled widely when he saw the three young men walking in from the rain.
There seems to be a lot of things in the specialty store.
There are boxes of beautifully packaged pastries, various kinds of dried meat, meat jerky, candied fruit, dried fruit, dried tofu, biscuits, tea, wine, etc.
There are even boxes of meat sauce and bacon!
"Boss, are you selling your stuff?"
Wu Tingfang's eyes lit up when she saw these things.
Although I can’t buy rice and flour anymore, it’s still good to have these things.
"You asked, sell it, of course sell it!"
Their store is a specialty store, and the items they sell are relatively expensive.
But it is not a staple food nor a must-eat, so to be honest, business has become much worse after the heavy rain, resulting in not much of the entire batch of goods that was previously imported being sold.
When Wu Tingfang heard the affirmative answer, she immediately smiled widely.
She looked at Han Ying and Lu Yuan, and when she saw them both nodded, she started moving things.
Seeing the three people moving their things as if for free, the boss's face was filled with worry and joy.
She was happy that the store had business, but she was worried that these three people would be like bandits and bully her, an old woman, without paying.
"Uh, these things of mine are quite expensive, do you really want to buy so many?"
Although these three young men don’t look like bad people, you can’t judge a book by its cover!
It was a rainy night like this, it was impossible to say that she was not worried.
Just when the boss was thinking about calling his wife upstairs to ask him to come down, he heard the little girl among the three people speak:
"Boss, let's check the amount first and remember to give us the order!"
They had already discussed it when they were in the elevator just now. After coming out, they should buy as much as they can take back and divide it up after they get back!
The boss also knows that the prices of food outside are rising.
So even though she still has a lot of inventory, she still has to make the money she should make, and if others raise their prices, of course she has to follow suit!
"Boss, do you still have this bacon and meat sauce?"
Wu Tingfang moved two boxes of bacon from the shelf to the counter and asked.
"Yes, yes. We still have five or six boxes of bacon, and I think there are three or four boxes of meat sauce. How much do you want?"
While settling the bills, the boss pointed to the location of the warehouse.
"These meat sauces and bacon are very durable. I want to get a few more boxes. How many do you want?"
Wu Tingfang looked at Lu Yuan who was moving the jerky and Han Ying who was getting coffee and asked.
"I'll take one box of each!"
Han Ying took down several bottles of coffee from the shelf before speaking.
Lu Yuan: "Me too!"
The three of them emptied almost all the existing items on the shelves of the specialty store, and only stopped after asking the boss to take out a lot of items from the warehouse.
"The total is RMB. I'll remove the zero and make it even!"
After paying for everything, the boss himself was shocked. Did these three young people really want to buy so much?
"Each of you pay 25,000 first, and I'll pay the rest. We'll settle it when we get back!"
I knew that prices would go up, but I didn't expect that even specialty stores would increase prices so drastically.
Under normal circumstances, these things wouldn’t even cost 30,000!
However, it is very rare to find a store to buy supplies now, so naturally you can't complain about the prices.
Wu Tingfang took out her mobile phone and scanned it directly to the boss. Han Ying and Lu Yuan each scanned it.
When the boss heard the sound of money coming in, his wrinkles on his face were squeezed together with a smile.
While happily helping them move things up, I also reminded them to be careful on the road.
While moving things, Han Ying set her eyes on a vacuum packaging machine in the corner of the cash register.
"Boss, are you selling this vacuum machine?"
There are actually many such vacuum machines in Han Ying's space.
But now that she has seen it, she will take it as an excuse to give her neighbors an excuse to stock up on one, and to thank them for taking care of her in her previous life.
With a vacuum machine, some things can be preserved in a vacuum, which may allow their family to preserve more things during a tsunami.
"But this one is old! I have a new one in my warehouse. This old one broke last month, so my son in another province bought another one online and sent it back. Later, this one was repaired, and the new one was not used. If you want it, I'll give you the original price of the new one!"
The boss smiled and said that there was no use for the vacuum machine, so it would be better to move it away so that it wouldn't take up space.
"Okay, Sister Wu, my card has reached its limit today. Can you help me swipe it? Then we can treat it as a joint purchase between the three of us!"
Han Ying bought this vacuum machine for Wu Tingfang, but she couldn't say it so obviously, so she could only say this.
I glanced at Lu Yuan next to me and he didn't seem to have any objection.
"That's fine!"
In fact, Wu Tingfang also has a vacuum machine at home, but it is relatively small and cannot be used continuously or it will stop working, so she did not refuse.
"Do you want the vacuum bags? I still have fifteen or sixteen boxes in my warehouse. They were all bought when my son bought the vacuum machine. I can't use them all. I don't know why I bought so many!"
After the boss moved out the vacuum machine, he looked at Han Ying and asked.
"Yes, whatever specifications are available, take them as you like. I want 9 boxes in total, is that okay?"
I already said that three of us bought this together, so we divided them up according to size, with each person getting 3 boxes, which is very even!
"well!"
The boss was very happy; she was worried about the vacuum bags piling up in the warehouse taking up space.
The large box contains 300 pieces, the medium box contains 500 pieces, and the small box contains 1000 pieces!
If they use it, it may take more than ten years to use it up. It's such a waste.
"Xiao Han, can we carry so many boxes back home?"
Seeing that there was still a lot of things on the ground that had not been moved, Wu Tingfang felt a little worried.
"It's okay, just pile it up a little higher and it will be fine if you organize it properly!"
Lu Yuan on the side seemed to have seen through Han Ying's thoughts and said affirmatively.
However, when he heard Han Ying say that she wanted to buy so many vacuum bags, he was also surprised and thought about something.
Most of the supplies piled up in his house were bought and sealed himself in tin cans and plastic cans using a can sealing machine.
This will not only preserve it for a longer time but also prevent it from getting wet.
Those that cannot be sealed with a canning machine are also sealed with a vacuum machine, so there is no need to worry about water entering.
But Han Ying obviously bought so many vacuum bags now for this reason.
So this inevitably deepened Lu Yuan's suspicion of Han Ying.
