"I'm going to get bugs on my body because of all the idleness." Cao'er slumped in the chair, holding an ice cream in one hand and spicy strips in the other, sighing as she ate with oil dripping from her mouth.
Farmers from the surrounding area rarely come here anymore, and only occasionally do they come to buy salt and other condiments.
It’s pretty good to have one business deal a day.
Sarah sat next to Cao'er, holding a chili-flavored lollipop in her hand, and asked curiously, "Isn't it good to be free?"
These days were so good that Sarah could never have dreamed of them. No one beat or scolded her, and there were all kinds of food to choose from. She had forgotten what it felt like to be hungry, and it seemed like the last time she was beaten was a thing of her previous life.
Now all she needs to do every day is lie down and bask in the sun. As a vampire, basking in the sun is an extremely luxurious thing.
Cao'er finished the last bite of ice cream, sat up and said, "Of course it's good to have a day off, but it's not good to have no time every day."
Sarah didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask.
Cao'er looked into the distance. She didn't think the mountains and rivers here were beautiful. She used to live in a village, and mountains and rivers were everywhere she looked. Compared to mountains, rivers, flowers and plants, she preferred the steel and concrete buildings she saw in Luoyang Base, and the houses that were taller than the trees.
Things that you see too much eventually become unremarkable.
"Someone is coming." Sarah said suddenly.
Cao'er was stunned and immediately looked in the direction Sarah was looking - she saw nothing.
But Cao'er didn't think Sarah was lying. She stood up and asked while sorting out her clothes, "How far is it? How long will it take them to get there? Are there many people? Have you been to the supermarket before?"
Sarah was used to Cao'er's trust, so she said slowly, "More than 30 people, they have never been to the supermarket before, they drove a horse-drawn carriage, they must be rich people."
Cao'er became excited: "Great! Rich people are great!"
Supermarkets never cheat the poor. There is really nothing to cheat the poor. Even if they want to cheat them, they don’t have money.
What's more, the immortal is soft-hearted and thinks about the business of the poor before doing business.
"I'll go call Brother Zou and the others." Cao'er threw the garbage in her hand into the trash can and reminded Sarah before leaving, "Be careful."
Sarah nodded, squinting her eyes and continuing to look into the distance.
They are all human, without a single person of other races.
Probably someone from the human town.
Sarah quickly looked away, she had no interest in people right now, she preferred studying the things in the supermarket rather than people.
But she is still not good at dealing with people. Apart from Cao'er, she only likes to talk to Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou sometimes felt that Sarah might have a little bit of a baby complex. He saved her, and when she was freed, she saw his own face, so her instinct told her that he was a non-threatening and safe presence.
And a sense of security is almost non-existent for Sarah, so she relies on him so much.
Ye Zhou even had a headache because of this.
He hoped that Sarah would get better, but it was obviously not a good thing for her to be so dependent on him.
"More than thirty people?" Ye Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard Li Gu say the number of people.
Not to mention the employees, he himself was almost going crazy from being idle. When he heard that there might be business, Ye Zhou couldn't wait to stand up.
Aunt Li was also happy. She now knew that only if the store’s business was good could they move on to the next small world.
Like her daughter, Aunt Li also prefers bases like the Luoyang Base. She likes to see the tall buildings and the moving iron lumps.
"Cao'er has already taken people out." Aunt Li praised Cao'er in a calm manner, "This child is different now."
Ye Zhou nodded: "The grass is very good."
The employees hired in Daliang Dynasty are now trained.
Not only can he handle things in the supermarket, but he can also use guns and knives.
Today, Ye Zhou is no longer afraid of dimension jumping. Not only does he have a protective shield, he also has a group of capable and powerful employees.
Whenever he thought about it, Ye Zhou felt that he was incredibly lucky.
At least it's better than the two predecessors he knew who died in accidents.
Ye Zhou walked out of the lounge, and when he walked out, he happened to see Zou Ming leaving the supermarket.
He stood there and thought about it before going out again.
Having Zou Ming is enough.
Although he didn't know how to face Zou Ming recently, he still trusted and felt at ease with him.
·
"We're almost there." The man leading the way hunched over. He turned his head and glanced at the guy on horseback. The jealousy in his eyes was so deep that it almost overflowed, but he still said in a flattering way, "I was shocked when I followed them here! It's such a big store, and you are the only one who can do business with them."
The man who was leading the way was called by the waiter to follow a group of country guys out of the city and find where they purchased their goods.
The man was small and hunched, and no one could see him hiding in the woods and bushes. The group of country folk were immersed in the joy of selling the goods and were eager to go home, so it was even more impossible for them to notice him.
He estimated that he could get a lot of rewards this time.
The boss in the carriage stuck his head out, and as the convoy moved forward, he saw the supermarket not far away.
Although half of it is blocked by the city wall, you can still tell at a glance how big the store is.
At least it's bigger than his store, much bigger.
"Such a store..." The boss frowned and muttered to himself, "Why is it opened here?"
Although the land in the countryside is not valuable, the fact that such a square, integrated house can be built can also prove the financial strength of the store owner.
With the financial resources, why would you stay in a place like this?
Don’t you want to make money?
If he hadn't sent people to follow that group of country bumpkins, they would have had no idea there was a town here. They had never heard of it before. In everyone's impression, there were only a few scattered villages on this land, and even if the people from these villages were put together, the money they could squeeze out wouldn't even be enough to buy a few cans of salt.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and when it was almost there, the boss asked the guys to stop and jumped out of the car himself.
"Go ahead," the boss said, "so you can see it more carefully."
He wanted to find out how many people were in the store and how many people were nearby who could help them.
If you can get it, you can just do a business with no cost. If you catch the owner of this store and tie him up, you will always know where his goods come from.
Even if the other party is a tough guy and won't open his mouth even if he is beaten to death, it doesn't matter. This store is so big and the goods are enough for him to sell.
But if you can't make a deal without any cost, then you can only sit down and negotiate the price honestly.
The boss rubbed his neck. If possible, he could still make a deal with no capital.
It might cost a few lives on his side, but human lives are worthless, at least not as valuable as these goods in his eyes.
After looking around, the boss also saw several people standing at the city gate.
The leader was a black-haired man wearing a style of clothes that the boss had never seen before. It was not very close-fitting but rather loose, but he did not look bloated. Instead, it made people think that he must have a good figure under the clothes.
Well...clothes like this are not bad, I can tie up the tailor as well.
Although the people standing at the door were all young people, the boss didn't think they could compare with the people he brought.
His guys are not ordinary people, some of them have even killed people.
But he was not completely reassured. After all, it was such a big store and perhaps only a few people came out.
"Don't move." As he was about to walk in, the boss had a smile on his face, but his tone was extremely cold, "Go in and take a look first."
The guys all had that "we all get it" look on their faces.
Cao'er stood behind Zou Ming and looked at the people walking towards them. She suddenly said, "Brother Zou, why do I feel like they are weird?"
"It looks a bit like... like someone is trying to grab water."
Wu Yan, who was standing nearby, understood what Cao'er meant. When the drought first started, the streams and rivers had not completely dried up.
Those upstream would use stones to block the river channel and let the water stop at their own village.
The only option for the low-class people is to go to the door and fight. When two villages fight for water, it is a minor matter for them to get bloodied. It is more common for people to die.
Wu Yan suddenly became nervous. He looked at Zou Ming and said, "Brother Zou?"
Zou Ming said calmly: "Your gun is not just for display."
Wu Yan suddenly reacted at this moment and said "Oh" twice in a hurry.
Seeing that the other side had more people, I almost forgot about this. Even if they didn’t have guns, they still had crossbows.
It looked like the other party was holding a knife at most.
Cao'er asked quietly, "How did they know about us?"
Zhou Wen also whispered beside him: "The young people who went out before are back. I guess they brought it back."
Cao'er's eyes widened, revealing a bit of a fierce look: "They let the wolf into the house?"
Wu Yan: "Sure, Cao'er, you can say idioms now."
Cao Er said modestly: "It's just so-so. I'm still not good at relaying."
With the sense of security brought by the guns, the employees relaxed again.
They watched the group approach, and the leader knew the boss at a glance - with a belly like that, it would be strange if he couldn't see it.
"Hello." The boss took off his hat and greeted them with a smile.
Zou Ming nodded slightly and responded.
The boss looked at Zou Ming's face - young, and youth means easy to be cheated.
"My name is Stan." The boss looked at Zou Ming with a smile, "Are you the owner of this store?"
Zou Ming: “No.”
The boss's expression did not change, and he was still very friendly: "I want to meet your boss and discuss a business deal with him."
Zou Ming glanced behind Stan and said, "Only you can go in."
Stan laughed and said, "They are all my buddies. I have to rely on them to pick the goods."
Zou Ming glanced at Stan and said, "Let's talk about it and then we can choose. Now you are the only one who can go in."
Stan's face darkened. "You're just a buddy. Let your boss do it."
"I've never seen a clerk make decisions for the boss."
Zou Ming took a step forward. He was almost a head taller than Stan. At this moment, he looked down at Stan. His lips slightly parted, and he still looked calm: "Now you see it."
Stan stared up at him blankly.
You don't feel it when the other person is not close to you, but when he gets close, there is an irresistible feeling of oppression.
He swallowed subconsciously.
Is this guy really just a guy?
