To get to Storm City, you can't just drive there; you have to take the railway train through the yellow sand. The train tickets are divided into different carriages, with the expensive ones costing 10 silver coins per person and the cheaper ones costing 100 copper coins per person.
Of course, one side is crowded like sardine cans, while the other side is bright and spacious, offering a view of the endless desert landscape.
Qin Yiyi found a communications station and called Sid. This damned wasteland technology skill level is so unpredictable. She must buy a communicator, medicine, and firearms for the slave warriors when she goes to Storm City this time. (To put it another way, I may mention this many times later. I'm afraid of being censored. Just know that this is some QZ and DY.)
The train on the railway tracks in the yellow sand only runs twice a day, in the early morning and in the evening. Qin Yiyi took the evening train, paid 20 silver coins, and got a private little compartment.
The tentacle monster burped, its stomach rumbling.
Qin Yiyi frowned, clearly displeased.
"Did you get hungry this quickly when you were in the deep sea? I'm covered in seaweed rice rolls and fish balls that I'm going to trade!"
The tentacle monster looked aggrieved and dared not speak. He was in so much pain in the deep sea that he fell into a deep sleep. He ate about once a year. Later, the pain became too much, so he went to the City of Mist. The mist helped relieve his pain a lot. He then discovered that eating the food of the black and white whales could relieve his pain. After that, he ate more of Qin Yiyi's cooking and the pain disappeared completely. He really did eat a lot and the pain disappeared completely, except... he got hungry very quickly!
"Let me tell you, this trip is very important, and you can only eat one seaweed rice roll per meal!"
The tentacle monster looked at Qin Yiyi, and then a tentacle stretched out from its back—two tentacles, three tentacles…
Kraken looked at Qin Yiyi with his innocent, big eyes.
Qin Yiyi pouted and gave him a steamed bun, a fish ball, and a seaweed rice roll.
"This is your portion size. I won't eat much more; I'll only eat this much!"
She coughed but didn't compare the Kraken's appetite to that of a fragile human. Ah! She's no longer a fragile human!
[Hands want to eat fish balls!]
[Pah! Go eat your steamed bun!]
Haha, you can't even get a steamed bun!
Hundreds of tentacles were scrambling for such a small amount of food, making the originally spacious carriage incredibly crowded. As the sun gradually set outside, the tentacles inside were still overjoyed to have eaten a few crumbs of steamed bun.
One tentacle mocks the other.
Knock knock knock~
The carriage door opened.
Countless tentacles instantly returned to Kraken's body.
"Come in."
A small bee with yellow and black striped wings walked in.
"Distinguished guests, we have just received this year's honey. It's all from our own beekeepers, pure local honey. Would you two like to try some?"
Qin Yiyi glanced at the little bee and believed it was honey from her own wild bee farm.
She took a sip; it was sweet. To be honest, it wasn't easy to find anything sweet in the wasteland. Things like rock sugar and brown sugar were really hard to find. Even feminine hygiene products like sanitary napkins were hard to find; those were for nobles. Nowadays, people would sew their own sanitary pads using wood ash.
"Not bad~"
Qin Yiyi expressed her approval of the honey water, and the little bee carrying the tray narrowed its eyes with joy.
"Dear guest, you are a VIP guest in our private room. If you choose to purchase, you can get an 88% discount! Our honey is all homemade Tujia honey, currently priced at 10 silver coins per tael. If you buy a pound, in addition to the 88% discount, we will also give you an extra tael!"
The little bee looked at Qin Yiyi with sparkling eyes.
Qin Yiyi rested her chin on her hand, also watching the little bee.
Well, no matter what kind of world it is, the sales model remains the same.
"So that means if I buy ten pounds, you can give me one pound free, right?"
The little bee's wings fluttered excitedly.
"Yes, sir. One jin costs one gold coin, ten jin costs ten gold coins. If you buy ten jin, I can give you a 20% discount, which is eight gold coins, and I'll even give you an extra jin for free!"
Qin Yiyi tapped the table with one hand and looked at the little bee with the other. It would take a full ten hours by train to get to Storm Territory.
"Give me ten pounds, cash on delivery!"
Little Bee nodded and hurried off to report on her performance; this new saleswoman had actually secured a 10-pound order!
Her heart started pounding.
She carefully selected the best honey and put it into jars. A senior employee walked over, glanced at her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked affectionately, "Oh, you've already made a big order so soon after starting this job!"
The little bee was very happy.
"Yes, a customer wants ten jin!"
She wrapped the jars up, and the senior employee next to her picked up a tray and said affectionately, "You have to deliver one pound for every ten pounds you have, that's eleven pounds in total. One tray can't hold all these jars, let me go deliver them with you!"
this....
A slight unease crossed the little bee's mind, but she politely declined, saying, "No need, sister. I've already delivered some to this customer. I can deliver the rest myself!"
The veteran employee's expression changed: "What, do you think I'm trying to steal your sales?"
"No, sis..."
The flight attendant walked over, saw the cans, and smiled: "Oh, did you make a big order?"
Before the flight attendant could speak, the veteran employee said, "Yes, Chief Flight Attendant, my sister and I are just about to deliver the goods. The customer ordered a lot, so it's perfect that the two of us can deliver them together. We can manage!"
"See, with so many orders, we can split a lot between the two of us!"
The veteran employee smiled, and Little Bee's heart skipped a beat; she was about to explain.
But this senior employee kept interrupting her. It was clearly her order, so why was half of it being taken away from her?
Her eyes misted over.
Qin Yiyi walked into the train's dining car and could hear the shameless employee talking from afar.
She was wearing her little leather boots. She had heard that Storm City was particularly cold, so she had bought a new fur coat and black leather boots for that purpose. All that was missing was a small leather whip in her hand.
"What's wrong with you? Are you even going to do business? I said I wanted ten pounds, why are you taking so long to deliver it? Are you even going to do this order?"
Qin Yiyi crossed her arms and glanced sideways at the little bee.
"Get this to the carriage right away! One pound free for every ten pounds, so hurry up and get eleven pounds done!"
The experienced employee recognized him as the big-order customer and quickly smiled apologetically, "It's just that the new employee is inexperienced. I'll bring it to you right away. Don't worry, I'll make sure you get the best honey!"
Qin Yiyi snorted coldly.
"Wasn't she the only one pushing my order to me? When did you, this beast, get added to the mix? Is it because you delayed my order of honey? Dragging your feet, what, you were stealing business from me and wasting my time? Fine, I don't want this order!"
