Chapter 231 Come, load the goods
"Teacher, please apply for a card quickly so that you can charge more crystal cores into it." The young man anxiously pulled the female teacher's arm and shook it.
"...Okay, okay, I'll do it right away."
The female teacher's hands were shaking more severely than last time. Her whole body was swaying and her lips were a little dry.
The classmate next to him was even more anxious. He took out three secondary crystal cores and stuffed them into the card processing machine.
"Three, that's too many." The female teacher felt distressed and wanted to take back two of them. They were already few in number, and he had spent them lavishly on her.
"Not much, not much. Teacher, you need to eat more. If you are too thin, you will get sick easily. Bah, bah, bah, it doesn't count."
A group of young men coaxed and tricked her into buying her a new set of bedding, and then accompanied the teacher as she left to clean up her new home.
Xia Yan smiled faintly as he looked at their backs. The female teacher looked even smaller among the young men, but when she was angry, the group of students were so scared that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. It was quite interesting.
Xiongxiong had been standing by the window watching the snow, looking very curious, so she let Xiongxiong go out and play.
She took this time to restock the shelves. Thinking of the female teacher's dry lips, she put some lipstick on the shelf. Then she pinched the back of her hand and thought, "Well, add some hand cream."
It's one of those old-fashioned stick-like hand creams that has natural honey added to it, which is perfect for moisturizing cracked fingers.
Xia Yan also opened one and carefully applied it on her hands. The sweet smell was very pleasant.
In order to make it easier for customers to understand the prices, she put price tags under each product. At this moment, someone pushed the door open, looked around, picked up the bedding, walked to the table to pay, and found the card application instructions on the table. He squinted his eyes and moved closer, then took out a crystal core to apply for the card.
Perhaps the news that a grocery store had opened in the base had spread, and all the survivors who were able to move around and had allocated accommodations rushed over.
Not everyone has the ability to travel in space, and many things were left behind along the way when escaping, so now I have a place to live but no daily necessities.
When they heard that the grocery store had a full range of supplies at low prices, everyone, except for the person lying on the wooden board unable to move, rushed over eagerly with their clumsy legs.
Xiong Xiong, who was playing in the snow outside, was frightened by the noisy voices. He turned around and saw that the store door was almost collapsed. He was so scared that he jumped out of the snow pile and rushed back to help.
"Please make way and let me in."
The harder it tries to squeeze in, the more united the people in front become, forming a solid human wall and preventing those behind from cutting in line.
Even so, there is still a steady stream of people rushing here from the residential buildings.
People inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.
Chu Wanfu was soon alarmed. He hurriedly led a team of soldiers to maintain order. His heart trembled when he saw the shop surrounded by people.
But don't make Boss Xia angry. If he doesn't sell the goods, where will he get so many supplies?
"Quick, get them in line."
...
Xia Yan walked among the crowd holding a card machine. The goods on the shelves were flashing with dazzling light strips, and the words "resort hotel products" floated above them. Anyone who tried to touch and take something down would find nothing.
If you don't have a card, no one can take it away.
"Don't worry, everyone. You can get the goods after you get the card. Now hold the crystal core in your hand and raise it up. I will come over as soon as I see it." She shouted, and then everyone raised their hands high and waited for her quietly, without any noise at all.
This batch of customers is really easy to deal with.
After completing the card application, customers walk directly to the shelf and take what they want. At the same time, they see the points on their forearms automatically decrease.
Xia Yan walked to the door and waved his arms to signal everyone to look over, then shouted:
"Customers who have had their points deducted can leave on their own. Customers outside please queue quietly and do not block the entrance."
When she saw the bear who was trying to squeeze in after the crowd, she said, "Hurry up and let that bear come in to help me stock up. Without the stock, no one can buy anything."
After hearing what she said, everyone turned back to look for the bear and made way for it. At the same time, Chu Wanfu's men came forward to maintain order and arranged them to line up.
"Xiongxiong, you come and apply for the card. I'll go get the goods." Xia Yan stuffed the card machine into its hands. "Go to this bear to apply for the card!"
She took out bags of bedding and placed them on the ground, then restocked the other empty shelves.
"If you have any other needs, you can write them down in the notebook. I will count them up later and put them in the store for sale as long as I have the stock."
She also took this opportunity to recommend a number of restaurants, because she found that many people thought that the food in restaurants was super expensive and they couldn't afford it. How could Xia Yan allow customers to have such a misunderstanding? Of course, she had to introduce them well.
Sure enough, when the customers heard her say that they could get fried dumplings with just one point, the light in their eyes ignited everything.
As night was about to fall, Xia Yan walked out the door, pounding her sore waist, and was shocked to find that there were still many customers squatting outside, huddled up and looking at her eagerly.
"What's going on, everyone? Is there something wrong?" Xia Yan looked at the staff member beside him and asked, who shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
After seeing that the situation had stabilized, Chu Wanfu had already gone back to deal with other emergencies. After completing their tasks, the staff also walked into the grocery store and watched outside for a whole day, watching with trepidation as one set of bedding after another was taken away, fearing that it was the last set.
Now it’s finally their turn, so they quickly move back home.
When most of the staff had left, the group was still staying outside.
Xia Yan guessed that they might have some difficulties, so he walked over to ask them the reason.
The middle-aged woman, her eyes wrinkled and her red face covered in brown frostbite, coughed a few times and said in a trembling voice, "...Do we... have to use crystal cores to buy it?"
Another old man with pale hair and desperate eyes continued, "There are no crystal cores left. Not a single one is left. They were all taken away by that liar."
"He must have died a miserable death!" the others echoed, tears streaming from their yellow eyes. The fingers they used to wipe their tears were abnormally red and swollen, and there was a round blister on their thumb that was bigger than their fingernail.
Xia Yan sighed and asked them to come in to warm themselves up. If their bodies, which had just recovered, were blown by the cold wind again, they would really fall down.
She closed the door, picked up the card application instructions, pointed to one of them and said:
"In addition to crystal cores, gold and silver jewelry are also acceptable. You can also apply for a credit card to eat and buy things."
"I have a gold ring! It's just covered in dust. Can I top it up with points?"
"able."
"Where's the diamond ring?"
"Alright."
"Boss, I only have half a crystal core fragment, is that okay?"
"Uh, that should be fine."
Xia Yan raised his hand to ask everyone to calm down, and asked Xiong Xiong to go back and get the estimator for everything. He placed the small scale on the table, and there was a very imposing sound of "thud".
"Come on, load up the goods."
