Seeing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
I originally thought this young man must be a well-known figure in the area, but I didn't expect him to suffer a setback on his first try.
Lu Yuan originally intended to find out who the other party was, but now that it seemed that the other party hadn't sold a single item, he became curious about what Zhenheng Trading Company actually did.
Then, the young man left the group with a helpless expression, seemingly looking for his next target.
Lu Yuan was even more curious and decided to follow the other party to see what was going on.
The young man wandered around the area for a while, when he suddenly heard a burst of curses coming from the front of the group. A look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
"The opportunity has arrived!"
Lu Yuan looked ahead and saw that the gate to the supply depot at the front of the column had suddenly closed.
Then a man stood on a high platform and shouted into the crowd through a megaphone.
"Everyone, all the food for today is sold out. If you need anything, please come back early tomorrow! You may leave now!"
After saying that, the other person jumped off the table, went inside the sales point, and locked the door.
Upon seeing the gates of the supply depot closed, a chorus of regret and curses erupted from the crowd.
"Seriously! This is all the food they provide for the day, who's going to eat that much?!"
"Exactly! I've been queuing here all day, when am I going to get my food? My whole family is waiting!"
"Forget it! Let's keep waiting! We've already waited all day! We can't let the scalpers buy up all the food!"
"That's right! Those damn scalpers, I hope I don't run into them again, or I'll beat them up every time I see them!"
"Aren't you leaving? What's the point of staying here? Even if you do come tomorrow, you might not be able to buy it!"
"Tch! Then what are you waiting here for? Isn't it just to get a spot in the front row? Everyone thinks the same way!"
"Forget it! Damn it, I've been waiting for two days and still haven't bought anything. I'll just go to the black market!"
"The black market? Can you eat the stuff on the black market? Would you dare to eat it?"
"Don't dare to eat? Then go hungry! It's better than going hungry!"
The young man watched from the side and saw several people leave the crowd helplessly, then he quickly followed them.
"Hey! You guys, are you here to buy food?"
"Isn't that obvious? We're not here to buy food, are we? Are we just going to sit here and chat with them? That's ridiculous!"
The young man wasn't angry, and then he secretly waved to the two of them.
"I have a batch of pork here, would you like to come and take a look?"
Several people's eyes lit up when they heard his words.
"Pork? Really? Even the grain supply and demand department might not be able to sell pork, how do you have it?"
Then the group suddenly realized what was going on.
The man added in a low voice, "Don't say anything, just follow me! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
However, the group still hesitated.
"How long have you been soaking this meat in water?"
Seeing that they already knew it was water-soaked meat, the young man wasn't angry. He said directly, "Since you all know this is water-soaked meat, I won't beat around the bush with you! It was just fished out the day before yesterday! If you want it, it's a flat price of five hundred per catty!"
Upon hearing the young man's words, the group gasped in shock.
"Holy crap! You dare to sell water-soaked pork for such a high price?"
"Exactly! Five hundred per jin? How can you even say that? That price is enough to buy ten jin of rice!"
The other person wasn't angry and still had a smile on their face.
"Haha! But you didn't manage to buy rice either! The food shortage is no secret! If you don't buy now, you won't be able to buy it later! Besides, if it's not soaked meat, even if you offer two thousand yuan per kilogram, you might not be able to buy it! Those things are basically only supplied to high-ranking people! How can people like us buy them!"
The people next to him hesitated.
"It's said that eating this soaked meat can easily cause diarrhea, and in severe cases, it can even be fatal!"
"Yes! Soaked meat is not only of poor quality, but it also rots. Is it safe to eat if we buy it?"
"I know this all too well. If you get diarrhea, you'll be queuing to use the toilet all day long! Who can stand that!"
Seeing that several people were starting to hesitate, the young man rolled his eyes and continued.
"Hey! Don't listen to that nonsense. Why can't you eat meat soaked in water? Even before the apocalypse, you could still eat meat soaked in water! What meat you buy normally isn't injected with water? They're all the same! As long as you fry the meat a little longer to dry out the moisture, it'll be fine!"
"If you come with me now, I'll give you a 20% discount! How about it? Don't hesitate! Otherwise, I'll find someone else!"
After saying that, the young man made a move to leave, but the others exchanged glances and immediately stopped him.
"No, we'll buy it, okay? But let's make this clear first! If any problems arise from eating it, you'll be responsible!"
"Haha! Of course, no problem! If any issues arise, you can contact Zhenheng Company! They have a dedicated after-sales department to handle these matters! We guarantee you won't suffer any losses!"
The group nodded and followed the other person toward the distance.
Lu Yuanyuan followed behind them, and soon they arrived at a place filled with shipping containers.
This used to be an abandoned construction site, where most of the buildings were only built to a dozen stories. Later, due to a superstorm, the project was abandoned.
Some reinforced concrete was left lying on the roof, and several shipping containers were dragged into the building to serve as their own housing.
However, just as Lu Yuan was about to go in, he saw several guards standing by, and everyone who went in was basically checked.
Just as the young man was about to lead the group inside, he suddenly reached out to touch his ID, only to find that he had lost it sometime during the night.
"Holy crap! Where's my ID card? Damn it! Where did it fall?"
Seeing the man's anxious expression, the security guard couldn't help but tease him, "Alright! Stop pretending! We're all on the same side, why do you need any ID? Go in! Take these people with you, and don't let them go where they're not supposed to, understand?"
The young man's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he led a few people into the building.
Lu Yuanyuan hung far away, and after seeing everything that was happening in the distance, he immediately took out his identity card.
"So this is Zhenheng Company's headquarters! Let's go check it out!"
