The next morning, Xu Xiangyang changed his clothes and walked briskly towards the department store.
Having money makes all the difference; you can go wherever you want.
If you have nothing to do, just take a stroll, that's all.
Upon arriving at the department store, Xu Xiangyang first bought a few packs of cigarettes; he needed to prepare some of that.
He usually has a hard time finding cigarette coupons. There are no cigarettes in his space. He found a few cartons of good cigarettes in his office when he searched his space before, but he has to save them to smoke slowly.
There is a supermarket at the entrance of the logistics port, but it is cordoned off.
What a pity, otherwise it would have been mine.
Now he can only buy cigarettes outside; he can't skimp on things he needs for social interactions.
A pack of cigarettes costs at most one yuan, and it's a Zhonghua brand. You can't be out and about without cigarettes, can you?
Xu Xiangyang didn't buy anything that expensive; a few cents' worth of Daqianmen cigarettes would suffice.
He bought some random things that weren't in his inventory, so he went out to buy them so that people could see them when he brought them back.
As soon as Xu Xiangyang came out of the department store, he ran into Director Yang.
The man was buying things at the door with his wife and children, but neither of the adults had a smile on their face.
He thought for a moment, and figured he couldn't just walk over and not say hello.
"Director Yang, shopping?" he greeted with a smile.
Director Yang turned his head and saw Xu Xiangyang. He was stunned for a moment, then remembered him.
"Are you Xiao Xu, the driver at work? What are you doing out during working hours?" He looked serious, as if he was about to start lecturing someone.
Why are you out shopping during working hours, carrying so many things?
This behavior is unacceptable and must be criticized and educated.
Xu Xiangyang wasn't oblivious to the situation, and seeing this, he quickly said, "Director Yang, I just got back from a business trip. Today is my second day off. I'll be back at work tomorrow."
This person is so impulsive, he won't even let anyone say a word against him.
That's enough! Why did you have to come over and say hello like that? Just pretend you didn't see me!
Upon hearing this, Director Yang's expression softened, and he nodded, saying, "Since you're resting, then go back and get some rest."
He finished shopping and left with his wife and children.
Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief. He should avoid being a troublemaker in the future, or he'd easily get scolded.
He didn't linger, carrying his things, and quickly found a place to store them in his spatial storage before turning around and heading to the city gate tower to wait.
After waiting for a while, Xu Xiangyang realized that he hadn't changed his clothes yet, so he quickly went to find a place to disguise himself.
She still had her signature side-parted hair and wore the same nice clothes.
They just go for the high-profile way possible, which is all about deceiving people.
More than half an hour later, he saw a truck parked not far away, and the person who got out of the driver's seat was Feng Jiunian, whom he had seen before.
Xu Xiangyang walked over and greeted him, saying, "Brother Feng is here. Shall we go get our things first?"
After all, they came here for the goods, so let's ask first.
Feng Jiunian nodded. "Get in the car, you lead the way."
He must have been quite tired from driving all that way, so he got up in the middle of the night to rush here.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say much, got in the car and gave him directions.
The two drove to the abandoned church they had visited before. Xu Xiangyang looked around and then said, "Brother Feng, wait a moment, I'll go in and take a look."
The things haven't been put away yet. We can't exactly let him go in with us and then perform some kind of magic trick to conjure things out of thin air, can we?
Feng Jiunian nodded, then got out of the car and lit a cigarette to refresh himself.
After Xu Xiangyang went in, he placed the things he had prepared in advance on the open space, and then asked him to come in again.
When Feng Jiunian saw what was inside, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, never expecting that this person had actually brought so many things.
this……
"Brother Feng, take a look at this. What do you think of it? We can study it after you've looked at it." Xu Xiangyang ignored his surprise and then smiled as he pointed to the item in front of him.
Feng Jiunian nodded. Since there was something, that was naturally the best thing.
He went over and checked, and found that the cured pork and sausages were of very high quality, and the other dried chicken and duck were also quite good.
He was a little confused by the fact that the canned food was unpackaged; it was in a metal can, and he couldn't see what was inside.
So he guessed, was it canned fruit?
Although this stuff doesn't sell as well as meat, it's still good stuff. He's very satisfied with all of it; he's sure he can make a small profit by taking it home.
“These dried chickens and ducks are all the same price, two yuan each, cured meat and sausages are one yuan and one jiao, and there are canned goods…” Feng Jiunian paused as he spoke, thought for a moment and said, “Canned fruit is usually one yuan and two jiao, I’ll buy yours for one yuan and three jiao.”
He offered normal prices for everything else; he always buys things at a lower price because of the large volume.
However, since this was his first business deal with Xu Xiangyang, raising the price a little was no big deal; he could just consider it a chance to make friends.
Xu Xiangyang: ? ? ?
Do you accept canned pork ribs as canned fruit when you make friends?
He said, somewhat speechless, "Dude, this isn't canned fruit..."
Not canned fruit?
Feng Jiunian was taken aback. Could it be canned fruit in syrup? This stuff isn't worth much.
"This is a can of pork ribs, it contains braised pork ribs." Xu Xiangyang looked at his bewildered face and opened a can to show him.
The meat had already solidified, and since it was canned meat, it looked very oily.
Most people buy it and cook it with some cabbage and potatoes, which is enough for a family to have a meal.
Feng Jiunian had seen canned meat before, but this was the first time he had seen it smell so good. The canned pork belly he had seen before was always white, and it was the same when he ate it in stew.
But the canned pork ribs looked incredibly tempting, so he didn't hesitate and just grabbed a piece to eat.
"Hmm." He nodded. It tasted good, much better than regular canned meat.
Xu Xiangyang was stunned when he saw what he was doing. Such oily food, not even heated up, how awful it must taste…
However, judging from Feng Jiunian's expression, he didn't think it tasted bad; in fact, he thought it was quite delicious.
this……
“This canned food is good, but we usually buy canned food for around one dollar and fifty cents. I can offer one dollar and fifty cents. If you can accept this price, we can make a deal.” Feng Jiunian gave his price directly.
This price might not be considered high on the black market, but it's not low either.
Moreover, canned meat is always in short supply, since cured meat is just cured meat, while canned meat stew tastes just as good as freshly made, which undoubtedly raises the price of canned meat.
Xu Xiangyang had also inquired about the prices, and they were about the same, plus the prices of other items were not low either.
"Okay, let's calculate it." He nodded in agreement.
Two hundred and twenty for Chinese sausages and cured pork, four hundred for dried chicken and duck, plus two boxes of canned goods.
This box contains twenty cans, making a total of forty cans. Subtracting the can that Feng Jiunian just opened, that's fifty-eight yuan and fifty cents.
