Xia Chuhe strolled around the market, which mainly sold food and daily necessities, and its technological level was similar to that of modern society.
The people here don't seem to rely on the gods for sustenance, but rather on their own efforts. A large portion of their daily necessities are household and agricultural tools, which are relatively expensive.
Payment at the market is made by card, and the currency is energy points, which appears to be a form of digital currency.
Li Yue's saliva was about to drip from her eyes again.
Xia Chuhe sighed, "I've got a plan."
In just a few minutes, she had already come up with several ways to make money.
The simplest way is to perform on the street, like turning a flame into a few roses or something.
If you think that's too flashy, you can find some day-paid jobs. With space at your disposal, being a deliveryman or something like that would be awesome...
However, all of these methods have the same problem: they do not have cards that can be used for currency settlement.
Xia Chuhe decided to do just one big deal.
Xia Chuhe found the largest tool shop, half of which was filled with farm tools, mostly low-efficiency sickles, hoes, and plows, as well as a few small manual farm machines.
Xia Chuhe had Wang Yan and the others stand guard outside, while she only took Lu Danggui and Wang Gang inside.
Previously, Xia Chuhe had collected a large number of various agricultural machines in the basement of the Raptor Academy. She only has 64 square meters of land now and has no need for the machines, so she can trade some of them this time.
In front of the cashier, Xia Chuhe took a small planter from the farm. The small planter took up less than one square meter of space and was very similar to the models in the tool store.
"Planting machine, are you buying?"
The cashier raised an eyelid, unsurprised: "Do you accept secondhand items?"
"brand new."
"Three thousand energy points."
Xia Chuhe noticed that the price tag on the seeder in the sales area was five thousand. She readily agreed: "Okay."
Xia Chuhe lowered his voice: "I want to talk to your boss about a business deal. I have a large harvester. Is your boss willing to buy it?"
The cashier looked around; no one was coming to pay yet. He quickly asked, "Where did you get your goods?"
Xia Chuhe smiled and said, "I'll only talk to your boss."
The cashier pursed her lips and reluctantly called the boss.
Perhaps the allure of the harvester was too great, because the boss arrived very quickly.
Xia Chuhe had seen the owner of this shop before—the Mr. Ma who was strolling around the street wearing a big gold chain.
"Mr. Ma, it's an honor to meet you." Xia Chuhe greeted him in a seemingly familiar manner.
Mr. Ma was taken aback by her call; this person was a complete stranger. But his businessman's instincts kicked in, and he quickly smiled and continued Xia Chuhe's words.
When the cashier realized the two seemed to know each other, her expression changed, she greeted her colleague, and walked out.
Xia Chuhe and Boss Ma's conversation quickly got down to business. Boss Ma couldn't wait to see the harvester: "Did you bring the machine? When can we see it?"
"Find an open space, and you can see it right away."
Boss Ma led Xia Chuhe to the back of the shop, where there was a small courtyard.
Xia Chuhe made no attempt to hide anything and immediately took out the harvester. They only had five days left in the instance, and Boss Ma, who was capable of large-scale business, wasn't stupid; he would never publicize his "supplier's" information so openly.
Mr. Ma was an expert. After a brief test drive to confirm that the harvester was working properly, he said, "Name your price!"
Xia Chuhe said, "I don't want energy points, I want food, drinks and other necessities from the supermarket, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate."
Xia Chuhe tapped his finger on his trouser leg: "Mr. Ma, I can get my hands on other machines. If this collaboration goes well, next time..."
Mr. Ma smiled meaningfully, his mouth agape, and said, "I understand, I understand."
"By the way, here's a little tip for you: your cashier has some big ambitions."
The seeder was priced at 5,000, but the cashier offered it for 3,000. If he could simply buy the seeder out of his own pocket without making a sound, and then sell it for 5,000, he could immediately make a profit of 2,000.
Both men knew perfectly well that the two thousand was a benefit Xia Chuhe had given him.
But his problem was that he was too greedy and ambitious. One small seeder wasn't enough; he even considered getting a harvester.
Even if an ordinary cashier wanted to, they wouldn't be able to offer a price.
This suggests that he likely has another "employer" behind him.
Seeing that Mr. Ma was very straightforward, Xia Chuhe didn't mind reminding him. At worst, Mr. Ma would be wrong and wouldn't suffer any loss.
However, even before Mr. Ma could investigate, the cashier had already lost her composure.
He mistakenly thought that Xia Chuhe and Boss Ma were old acquaintances and wanted to run away in advance, but was stopped by Wang Yan and others who were guarding the door.
Mr. Ma showed no anger whatsoever: "Please wait here, I'll have someone bring the things over right away."
After that, Xia Chuhe didn't need to worry about anything; she just had to wait to receive the goods.
Xia Chuhe specifically instructed, "There are cupcake vendors on the roadside, buy a lot. Hmm... buy thirty."
These wastelanders probably haven't eaten much, so buy more so we don't run out.
Because of Xia Chuhe's words, the cupcakes were the fastest thing to be delivered.
Xia Chuhe gave Lu Dangui a strawberry-flavored one, and Lu Dangui took a small spoon and ate it in small bites.
Lu Dangui was already handsome, and now that he owns a house and has money at the Caishi Base, he is impeccably groomed and has changed into the latest style of clothes. As he eats cake, he even has the air of a civilized person.
Xia Chuhe, who usually doesn't have much of an appetite for cupcakes, picked one up and started eating it.
Mr. Ma, standing to the side: "..."
No, the big boss who can get his hands on a harvester, along with a group of super impressive employees (mainly Boss Xin and Wang Gang), are actually eating cupcakes that only kids like in his shop!
