Chapter 3 Stockpiling Begins
The middle-aged boss heard the voice and turned around to see a young woman running towards him. She looked to be in her early twenties, with a high ponytail, tall figure and long legs.
The face looked very delicate from a distance, and she was obviously a bright and beautiful woman. But as she got closer, I could see several bruises on her face, and it looked like she had just been beaten. Dust could be seen in her hair, and her clothes were dirty and stained with blood.
The middle-aged boss felt nervous, wondering if something had happened to this man.
Coming here like this, I can tell there's something wrong with me!
He was no longer in the mood to do business. He ran back into the store and reached out to pull the door. It was late at night and he didn't want to get into trouble.
"Boss, I want to wholesale rice!" A hand was placed on the middle-aged man's hand, stopping him from closing the door. Being closer, the middle-aged man could see more clearly the wound under the other person's somewhat tattered clothes.
My heart trembled. It was obvious that this woman had met with something bad and was seriously injured. But she didn't go to the hospital for treatment, but came here to buy rice. It was strange no matter how I looked at it.
In an instant, he thought of something horrible. Could it be that this woman had been murdered and she didn't know it?
His body began to tremble. Qin Xingyue saw that he looked scared, so she couldn't help but repeat herself: "Boss, I want to wholesale rice. I want all the rice you have now!"
From the other person's pupils, she could see clearly what she looked like at the moment, and she could immediately understand what the other person was afraid of.
She has lived in the apocalypse for seven years and has seen all kinds of people. When they were in a mess, they looked much more miserable than they do now. She has long been accustomed to it.
But this is still a civilized society, and her current appearance is not normal in the eyes of others!
Qin Xingyue smiled carefreely: "Boss, don't worry, I am a living person. Look, I have a shadow!"
The middle-aged boss lowered his head and saw indeed a shadow, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The next moment, he heard the other party urging him impatiently: "Hurry up!"
He looked up and saw that the woman in front of him was smiling, but her eyes were filled with impatience. He suddenly realized what she had said before, and a huge joy surged in his heart: "Beauty, are you sure you want them all?"
"I want them all!" Qin Xingyue nodded affirmatively.
The middle-aged boss no longer cared about his previous fear. The corners of his mouth were about to crack. He nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I have all the best Wuchang rice. I have more than 8,000 bags of 50-jin bags and more than 2,000 bags of 30-jin bags. If you want more, I will definitely give you the lowest price!"
The boss spoke in an enthusiastic tone as he led Qin Xingyue inside.
Qin Xingyue looked over and saw that there were bags of rice piled densely on the ground. She nodded: "I want them all, but you have to ensure that there will be no quality problems!"
"Otherwise, I will make you puke out everything you earned from me!" Qin Xingyue said calmly, but there was hostility in her words.
The boss' heart trembled, then patted his chest and said, "Oh, don't worry, I, Lao Chen, always value sincerity in doing business. I can't run away from such a big shop. If you have any questions, you can always come to me!"
Qin Xingyue softened her tone: "That's good. After all, I still need more money later. I hope to cooperate with you again!"
The boss was shocked when he heard this. Is this not enough?
He subconsciously asked: "Beauty, you want so much stuff, what are you going to do?"
Qin Xingyue was looking at the goods. When she heard this, she turned around and looked at the other person with a smile: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, or you'll get into trouble!"
The boss was startled, slapped his lips and laughed: "Yes, yes, Old Chen, I am too nosy, beautiful lady, I am the only one doing rice business in this market, you can take this batch of goods today, I will go get new goods soon, if you need more then, I will contact you!"
Qin Xingyue thought, although this amount of rice seemed like a lot, it would still not be enough in the end of the world. She needed to get more food. She had suffered a lot from hunger in her previous life, and only plenty of food could give her a sense of security.
Although she couldn't spend all the money she had on buying rice, she would definitely think of other ways to get money these days so that she could buy rice when the time came.
So she nodded and said, "As long as the price is agreed, everything else is negotiable. I want all the goods except the ones you have now. I'll give you another ten days. Within ten days, I'll take as many goods as you can get!"
The boss was shocked: "Beautiful lady, don't worry, the price I give you will definitely satisfy you!"
Soon after, both of them showed satisfied smiles on their faces. They agreed on the delivery time tomorrow, paid the deposit, left their contact information, and Qin Xingyue drove away contentedly in the small truck loaded with dozens of bags of rice.
Those dozens of bags of rice were a gift from Lao Chen for her to taste.
…
After leaving the rice shop, Qin Xingyue went straight to the wholesale market. The rice in the back seat had been put into her space.
It was not a good time today, but at least she had solved the problem of rice, the basic survival food. She still had a month to prepare the rest.
When she gets back later, she will plan how to buy it first, and then continue working hard tomorrow.
And money—
The few million she had was not enough. She had to pay the balance tomorrow for the rice she had just bought, and she would be left with a few hundred thousand. But that was not enough. She still lacked a lot of things.
But Qin Xingyue was not worried. Buying it with money was only one of the solutions. If it didn't work, she wouldn't just sit there and do nothing!
Humming a little tune, Qin Xingyue was driving on the streets of Haishi. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a lottery shop on the side of the road and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
A few seconds later, she stopped the car, got out, and walked straight to the lottery shop. She came out of the shop after a while, her face as calm as water.
Although she was reborn, she had never paid attention to lottery in her previous life, so she had no idea what the winning numbers would be on any given day.
But it seemed a bit unreasonable for her not to try this store when she was short of money.
“It smells so good!”
"Gulu"
At the same time as she spoke, she began to cry out in hunger. She had eaten something in the abandoned warehouse before, but after so much time had passed and she had consumed so much energy, she was hungry again.
Smelling the aroma coming from the night snack street next door and thinking of the various delicious snacks that she had not eaten for seven years, she no longer hesitated, strode to a barbecue restaurant, took the menu and ordered a lot of things.
"Hey, isn't this the beautiful Qin from our previous class? Why is she so embarrassed?"
"Qin Xingyue, I heard that you are the real daughter of the Qin family. How come you are a daughter of a rich family, but you still come to this kind of place to spend money? Don't your family give you money to spend?"
An inappropriate male voice interrupted Qin Xingyue's meal. She looked up and felt that the person in front of her was somewhat strange and somewhat familiar.
She had been in the apocalypse for too long. Many people she once knew were either dead or she had never seen them again. She had even forgotten many of them.
