Chapter 16 A Reminder
Depart in the morning, arrive in the afternoon, what about going back?
Thinking about the people he often saw spending the night in the underground passage, Xu Sichen suddenly understood.
Following the navigation, we drove into Donghu Mountain, and then, following the instructions of an old farmer, drove on the mountain road for half an hour, and finally arrived at the Banshan Village that the old farmer had mentioned.
Banshan Village, as its name suggests, is located halfway up the mountain above East Lake.
All the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone down the mountain, and only some elderly people are left in the village, which seems a bit deserted and depressed.
But when Xu Sichen saw the mountain full of fruits, he suddenly felt that his trip was worth it.
Pears, apples, pomegranates, persimmons, grapes, winter dates, oranges.
She didn't expect that such a small mountain village would have so many kinds of fruits, which was beyond her expectation.
"Uncle, are all these fruits in your village for sale? If so, I want to buy them all!" Xu Sichen raised his hand and pointed to the large orchard in front.
"Girl, you mean buy all? You want to buy all the fruits in our village?" The old farmer looked at her in disbelief when he heard that.
Xu Sichen nodded, then looked at the various dried vegetables drying on the ground and said, "If possible, I would like to collect some more dried vegetables."
"Sell them! We're selling them all! We rely on selling them to supplement our family income. Why wouldn't we sell them?" the old farmer said excitedly. "Miss Xu, wait a minute. I'll go get the village chief."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
When it comes to transactions involving the entire village, the village chief will naturally have to step in.
When Village Chief Wang heard that Xu Sichen was going to buy the fruits and dried vegetables from their village at market price, his face suddenly turned into a chrysanthemum.
"Miss Xu, don't worry. I guarantee with my character that everything in our village is good. If you don't find it, come to me!"
As he said this, he patted his not-so-strong chest to give his assurance.
Xu Sichen said with a smile, "Okay, then let's do as we agreed. I'll buy all the fruits in your village. Just a little of each dried vegetable will do. You just need to pack the goods and deliver them to the parking lot at the entrance of the village."
Originally, she wanted to hug these dried vegetables in a round shape, but when she thought of the coming apocalypse, she immediately changed her mind.
After all, these things that preserve time can prevent them from having a hard time when the end of the world comes.
Next, the village chief and the old farmer who brought Xu Sichen up weighed and recorded the items sent by each household.
After receiving the payment, we will help load the goods.
After the carriage was full, Xu Sichen drove to a deserted place and put the things into the space, then made a small circle and went back.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Village Chief Wang asked curiously.
Xu Sichen said calmly, "I'll find someone to pick me up at the foot of the mountain. I'll deliver the things directly down there. It won't take long."
It took the whole afternoon to fill up a truck and take away a truck.
It was not until the sun set that all the fruits and mountain products in Banshan Village were harvested.
Xu Sichen solved the sales problem of the village's mountain products, which was equivalent to giving a way out to the elderly people who stayed behind in the mountain village.
This made the villagers feel very grateful to Xu Si.
When an elderly woman received payment for her goods, she held Xu Sichen's hand for a long time and said, "Thank you, young lady. Thank you so much. Thank you for giving us a way to survive. This is the harvest we have been looking forward to for years. If it had rotted in the fields, we would have been dead."
As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down to Xu Sichen.
Xu Sichen quickly raised his hand to stop him.
She didn't feel that she had done them much of a favor. It was a business transaction where money was exchanged for goods, and both parties were willing. No one owed anyone anything.
Seeing that the last batch of goods had been loaded onto the car, Xu Sichen opened the door and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Village Chief Wang and several others caught up with them, each holding a basket in his hand.
Xu Sichen looked at the eggs, live chicken, and bacon that were handed to him...
"This is?"
"Ms. Xu, thank you for helping us solve the sales problem of our fruit. This is a gift from our village, please accept it." Village chief Wang said with gratitude.
"Miss Xu, these are all our own pets. They are not worth much. You can keep them!"
Fearing that Xu Sichen would refuse, the villagers simply put the things in their hands at her feet and left quickly.
Looking at the "worthless" things all over the floor, Xu Sichen's cold heart seemed to warm up a little.
"Village Chief Wang!"
After thinking for a while, Xu Sichen finally called out to the village chief.
"What's wrong?" The village chief looked at Xu Sichen, who had a serious and hesitant face, and was a little puzzled.
He thought Xu Sichen had thought of something else to buy and wanted to tell him, so he said, "If you need anything else, tell me. Although our Banshan Village is poor, the output of the land is still good."
"Village Chief Wang, I have a friend who works at the Meteorological Bureau. He told me not long ago that this rain will continue for a long time and may even get heavier, causing widespread flooding in the city. If possible, please have everyone buy more food and daily necessities, especially medicine, so that they will be in good condition."
The old people in the village are all old, and when the end of the world comes, it will be the beginning of hell for them.
But when faced with the kindness of the old people, Xu Sichen couldn't bear it after all.
After all, the altitude of Banshan Village is very high. If there is enough food and medicine, at least they will not be so miserable in the early days of the apocalypse.
But that was all she could tell them.
As for whether they listen or believe it or not, it is not up to her to decide.
Ultimately, she has to prioritize her own safety.
After saying that, without waiting for the village chief to react, he waved his hand and drove away.
Only Village Chief Wang was left standing there for a long time before he left leisurely.
…
Seeing that the delivery time agreed with the wholesale market was approaching, Xu Sichen sped away at the maximum speed limit.
When she arrived at the wholesale market parking lot, she found it was densely packed with various foam boxes.
Manager Chen from the marketing department was also among them.
Behind him were the various fruits he had helped to purchase, ten-pound boxes that took up half of the parking lot.
"Ms. Xu, these are the fruits I purchased according to your requirements. They are all the best quality in the market. Take a look. If there is no problem, I will have someone help you load them into the car."
Even though they had been waiting in the rain for quite some time, Manager Chen still had a smile on his face, showing no sign of impatience.
"Sorry to trouble you, Manager Chen." Xu Sichen said as he opened the box and began to check.
Bananas, apples, oranges, peaches, coconuts, cherries, watermelons...
There are many varieties, some are domestic and some are imported; some are cultivated in greenhouses and some are planted seasonally.
