This was Wang Feifei's first time visiting the fruit wholesale market in the south of the city. Several huge trucks were parked inside, and each boss was busy unloading and loading goods with several of his subordinates.
Fruits from all over the country gather here and are then sold to every corner of the city.
Wang Feifei thought to herself, "I've really come to the right place!"
She bought a large quantity of fruit this time, and to avoid any mishaps, it was best to choose a store with the best brand reputation. She didn't want to buy fruit that was neither tasty nor fresh.
Large stores have a stable supply of goods, and with their reputation built up over many years, they dare not easily lose their brand.
After walking around, Wang Feifei finally chose the largest store. Just to be on the safe side, she also checked the store online and found that the reviews were excellent.
Let's go with this one!
At this time, several large trucks were parked in front of the store, some of the goods were transported directly from the airport.
The boss stood behind the truck, directing the scene, while a dozen employees carried out the unloading in an orderly manner.
He was very cautious, personally inspecting each box of goods to ensure they met quality standards before allowing employees to move them into the cold storage.
Wang Feifei stepped forward and greeted them politely:
"Hello, boss, I'd like to buy some fruit."
The boss glanced at her but didn't stop what he was doing: "Okay, take a look first. If you want to buy anything, just pack it up. I'll have my staff weigh it for you later."
Wang Feifei smiled and handed him a list, which listed the fruits and quantities she wanted to buy.
The boss's eyes lit up at just one glance; this was a big order!
Then he looked her over carefully again:
"Young lady, are you buying such a large quantity?"
"Yes, that's right. My store is the only one within a radius of dozens of kilometers, so the demand is quite high."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
The boss called over his most capable assistant, instructed him on what to do after taking over, and then turned to Wang Feifei:
"Come on, I'll take you to the cold storage to see the goods."
Wang Feifei followed him through the shop to a small door: "Would you like to come in and take a look?"
"Is it okay? I'd like to take a look."
"No problem, put on some clothes and come with me."
The temperature in the cold storage was indeed much lower, and there were many large boxes neatly stacked inside. Each piece of fruit was carefully wrapped in shock-absorbing paper and stored in an orderly manner.
Not only are they large, but their stems are also very green, indicating that they are very fresh.
"We've been in business for twenty years, so you can rest assured about the quality. I'm not bragging, but the most upscale fruit shops in the city get their supplies from us!"
After saying that, the shopkeeper casually grabbed a mangosteen and handed it to Wang Feifei: "Try it, the taste is absolutely first-class!"
Wang Feifei took it, peeled off the skin, and inside lay several segments of white and tender fruit, which were indeed sweet!
"Boss, your goods are really good. Please help me check them out this time. If they sell well, I will only buy from you from now on."
The shop owner was very pleased to hear this: "Young lady, you bought a large quantity this time. Feel free to try the fruit. If you're satisfied, we'll deliver it to your door today."
"By the way, does your store have cold storage? This is quite a lot; it'll definitely spoil if left out for too long," the owner thoughtfully reminded her.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me. By the way, could you deliver in the early morning? Three or four o'clock is fine."
Wang Feifei thought of that troublesome neighbor and realized she had to find a way to avoid him. Three or four o'clock should be relatively safe, as most people are asleep and it would be difficult to be discovered.
In addition, she estimates that the temperature will be around 5 degrees Celsius early tomorrow morning, which will make storage conditions better.
"This is the first time I've heard of such a request. We have no problem with 3 o'clock, as that's usually the time to pick up goods from the airport. But... is it convenient for you?"
"If that's convenient, let's agree on three o'clock. I'll wait for you here." After saying that, Wang Feifei handed the shopkeeper a piece of paper with an address written on it.
"Okay, I'll call you before I leave."
Wang Feifei readily paid the deposit; the fruit alone cost over 20,000 yuan. She checked her balance and found she still had over 8 million yuan.
"It should be enough. We'll definitely use it all up before the apocalypse. No amount of money is as useful as supplies!"
This time, Wang Feifei drove straight home.
She remembered her lesson from last time and would never again risk wandering around the city.
The next step is to buy meat!
Her mind was already filled with images of juicy, tender meat: braised beef brisket, pork ribs stewed with corn, braised pork knuckle, chicken soup with mushrooms, braised baby back ribs...
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
Oh, and the boiler and oven are amazing too! We'll also make all sorts of barbecue sauces!
I really hope the temperature drops soon!

Xiao Liu, a former real estate agent, has been quite busy these past few days. Just a few days ago, he was an ordinary henchman in Hu Tianhao's sphere of influence.
As the younger brother, he used his years of experience in the real estate industry to help Hu Tianhao's contractors resolve several thorny legal risks.
Having successfully gained Hu Tianhao's favor, he was promoted several ranks and became his "confidant," taking on the role of "advisor" in the team and beginning to wield some real power.
Having tasted power for the first time, he regretted all the hard work he had done over the years. Now that he's no longer a middleman, he's discovered that the outside world is much bigger.
He truly realized how important perspective and information gaps are for people at the bottom of society.
Now, his monthly income is equivalent to his annual income as a real estate agent. At this rate, buying a house is no big deal!
He experienced an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
At the same time, he knew that his time was running out. In this sweltering heat, the temperature was dropping day by day, and that day was clearly fast approaching.
He knew that he had to gain a foothold before the natural disaster struck and strive to climb to a higher position.
Only when Hu Tianhao is nearby will there be an opportunity to "stab" him in the back...
His approach to dealing with the apocalypse differed fundamentally from Wang Feifei's; he sought the support of the many apostles of the Cold Ice Society.
Even if the apocalypse lasts for a hundred years, he is confident that he will not fall; what he wants is supreme power.
He felt that his own strength was insufficient to fight against the apocalypse, so he wanted to gain the favor of Hu Tianhao, the leader of the Ice Society, as soon as possible, to help him rise rapidly when the apocalypse came, and then achieve his goals step by step.
As for Wang Feifei, he and she are just two people on different tracks. The only possible intersection in the future is probably when resources are extremely scarce, and she may become his last "trump card".
He won't use this "trump card" lightly.
Ever since he discovered that Wang Feifei was also a reincarnated person, he was certain that she couldn't have been completely unprepared.
There should be supplies on at least the lower floors.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes last time, he was certain that someone as intelligent as Wang Feifei was a real person.
She must be preparing as well.

"Knock knock knock..."
"Come in."
Xu Neng sat at the table, fiddling with a Rubik's Cube...
Xiao Gao stood beside the table, his head slightly lowered:
"Mr. Xu, we've found some information on the two men. Which one would you like to hear about first?"
"Let's talk about Chu Xiang first..."
