"Hey, sister, sister, don't go. Come back. Business is a two-way thing. Why are you standing up and leaving? Just tell me how much you want to pay?" When the eldest sister saw Ji He standing up, she quickly reached out and grabbed her.
Ji He squatted down and followed suit.
"How about 100?"
The shoe saleswoman rolled her eyes and said, "Sister, are you making fun of me? You're bargaining too hard. 100 yuan can only buy half a pound of rice now."
"Big sister, tell me a real price. If it works, I'll buy it. If not, forget it."
The elder sister thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I'm not going to fool you. How about you take 300 yuan and take the shoes?"
Ji He frowned. Isn't this asking for her entire fortune?
"300, I want 3 pairs of shoes. If you agree, forget it."
The shoe seller was very hesitant, thinking that she would lose a lot of money at this price.
But clothes and shoes are not easy to sell right now. There are more than 10 shoe stores near her. If she hesitates, the person may not buy from her.
But the price is too low...
"Sister, this is really not possible. 300 is too low. Please give me some more."
"Then I'll give you another pack of pickles, 80 grams."
"Okay...Okay." The shoe saleswoman gritted her teeth and agreed. This price was just a joke before it became extremely popular. If you told others about it, it would make people laugh to death!
Who knew that pickles would become a good thing nowadays.
Ji He squatted on the ground, took out 300 yuan and a bag of pickles from his pocket and handed them over.
"Then I'll pick 3 pairs."
"Okay, sister, you can choose it yourself, and tell me when you are done."
The elder sister took the pickles and put them in her pocket, then stood up to entertain other customers.
Ji He nodded, lowered his head and selected three pairs of dark-colored ones.
After saying hello, Ji He lowered his head to put his shoes into his backpack, then stood up and continued to stroll around the free market.
There are quite a few people visiting this market.
The air is hot and stuffy.
Ji He smelled a bad odor coming from many people.
It's so hot and there's only water for two hours a day. It's good enough if I can wipe my body. Taking a bath is a dream. It would be strange if I didn't smell.
Ji He had a blank expression on her face. Although she could tolerate it, it didn't mean she was willing to smell it.
After quickly buying the supplies he wanted, Ji He returned the same way and soon left the market.
This time she bought several bamboo products such as dustpans and bamboo baskets, some disposable lunch boxes, food-grade plastic bags and a mobile stove.
After the vegetables in the space are ripe, if she can't finish eating them, she can use a winnowing basket to dry them into dried vegetables, so that she will have something prepared in case she needs them in the future.
The food she eats now is the most expensive, and these winnowing baskets only cost her 3 taels in total.
Disposable lunch boxes are even simpler. Now that the weather is hot, water has become precious. Washing dishes every day consumes too much water. Using disposable lunch boxes not only saves water but also saves time for washing dishes.
There was still a long queue of people in front of the supermarket.
The line was longer than when Ji He first arrived.
If it wasn't so hot during the day, Ji He thought they could move the tent over.
After all, official supermarkets are the only channel to buy food now.
Even if you place an order online, the manufacturer still hasn’t shipped the goods, and logistics is basically interrupted.
All the small supermarkets around my home are closed. If I don’t come here to queue up, will I starve?
Ji He held the winnowing basket and walked slowly home.
A group of criminals were arrested a while ago. There are still lights on the road near the supermarket, so the public security is relatively good.
Of course, it could also be that the dustpan she was holding was so difficult for anyone to even think of snatching from it.
Ji He walked into the darkness, found an empty corner, and stood there for a few minutes until he was sure that there was no one behind him, then he put the dustpan into the space.
Take out the tricycle to pull the feed.
The warehouse of the feed seller was not too far from here. It took half an hour to ride the tricycle and make a few trips back and forth to move all the fish feed and wheat bran away.
The boss happily sent Ji He away and told her to come back when she needed him.
Ji He nodded.
She probably won't come again. After finishing this batch of feed, she plans to study how to make fish feed herself.
Ji He rode the tricycle until he was two blocks away from home and then put it into the space.
She prepared to walk back so as not to attract attention.
I walked while holding a flashlight to avoid stepping on any bombs. No one was working during that time, so there was a lot of garbage piled on the streets, and it smelled terrible.
On the way, Ji He saw some plastic baskets that were used to hold fruits and thrown on the street. They looked relatively clean, so he picked up a few, tied them up with ropes, and prepared to take them home to see if he could grow anything there.
