Tang Qingxi sat at the cashier, sipping her iced milk tea and staring out the door. Only a few mermaids came to exchange their candy; otherwise, she wouldn't have the time to drink milk tea here.
The supermarket's first day of opening was a success, as it only needed to serve 100 customers. The rest of the year was earned. Tang Qingxi happily calculated his assets.
Ever since they learned that the fish everywhere around them could be exchanged for goods from the supermarket, the mermaids have been fishing tirelessly and then exchanging them for goods from the supermarket.
The fish and shrimp in the area of the mermaids have been caught crazily in recent days, and they were scared to run as far as they could, leaving only a few that could not escape.
They had already exchanged enough for daily necessities, and also exchanged a lot of glass, wine and various exquisite toys, ready to take them to the sea market to exchange with human merchants.
Only the little mermaids were working hard to store candy for themselves. Despite their small size, they were skilled fishermen, catching crabs, abalone, and Buddha's hand snails. They also knew where to find corals and shells, and their catch over the past few days was no less than that of the adults.
Anyway, after the mission is completed, even if the supermarket is open again, only a few mermaids will come to exchange goods, so there is no need to open it again.
The day of the Zhengtu Haishi is approaching.
Ye Qingyi was entertaining the little mermaid at the door when she saw Tianchi walking towards her with the old turtle.
He stood up with a smile, "Old Turtle, wake up."
The old turtle stroked his beard and said, "It's so lively, I guess he's awake now. Did you bring the wine?"
"Dang, you can choose any wine from the supermarket. It's on me."
Ye Qingyi and his friend hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to talk about. He handed over the things at hand to Niu Dawu and went to the backyard with Lao Gui.
Tianchi came to find Tang Qingxi and invited Tang Qingxi to go with them to Hai City.
"Dianyu, we, the East Sea Mermaids, are going to Hai City the day after tomorrow. Can you come with us?"
Tang Qingxi and Ye Qingyi learned about the situation of Haishi. The island where Haishi is located is very far away from here. At the speed of the mermaid in the water, it takes 3 days to get to Haishi.
Besides, the weather at sea changes rapidly, and no one can guarantee that the sky will be clear all the time on the road. If you travel with a mermaid, there will be someone to look after you.
"Let's go together." Tang Qingxi agreed with a smile. "By the way, Chief, the supermarket will be closed starting tomorrow. Anyone who wants to exchange items should do so quickly."
Several warehouses in the supermarket were empty, but they were quickly filled with seafood, displayed in a messy manner. There was also a warehouse filled with pearls, corals, giant clams, and hawksbill turtles.
The same goes for the shelves. After all, there are only three of us, and even with magic, we can't handle it all.
Tang Qingxi needed to organize the supermarket's warehouse and shelves, and also sort out the goods to be taken to Hai City, so he simply closed the store tomorrow.
Tianchi smiled and said, "The tribesmen have all changed what they need to change, and it's time for the innkeeper to take a break.
"By the way, the mermaids from the other three seas have already left for the sea market with their water-repellent beads and storage shells. They also want to exchange the mermaid beads and the store for some necessities. The quantity is quite large, I wonder if the store has enough?"
Tang Qingxi looked at the cautious Tianchi and said, "It's okay. I have plenty of stuff. Bring me the list of supplies they need and I'll take them directly to Haishi.
The supermarket hadn't sold any of its stock before it traveled here. Even if the mermen tried to change, they only had a thousand or so people. They hadn't even consumed half of their current stock.
Tianchi breathed a sigh of relief, took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Qingxi.
The life of the mermaids of the East China Sea suddenly became better because of the store, but the other mermaids were still living in poverty. They, the mermaids of the East China Sea, could not just stand by and watch, and the best thing was for them to live together.
Tang Qingxi took the list and looked at it. Salt, sugar, grain, medicine. They were all necessities of life, and the inventory was more than enough.
Putting away the list, Tang Qingxi said to Tianchi, "That's all. Don't you need anything else?"
Listening to the shopkeeper's relaxed tone, Tianchi felt in his heart that the shopkeeper was indeed a master in the world of games, otherwise he would not have so many things and would not exchange them for the mermaid pearls.
It's a pity that I hurriedly delivered the letter to the other three mermaids after getting the salt-making manual that day, and didn't have time to go shopping in the supermarket. Otherwise, I would have told them that there were so many other things in the store and asked them to bring enough mermaid pearls.
"Yes, yes. It's too late to send the letter now. But we mermaids will bring all the mermaid pearls when we go to the sea market. We will exchange them with the shopkeeper then." Tianchi said hurriedly.
Tang Qingxi was satisfied after hearing this. How could the mermaid pearls from the East China Sea mermaid be enough? He didn't know if he could get more. Of course, it would be better to take all the mermaid pearls from the mermaids in the four seas. You can never have too much.
"Okay, is there anything else? If not, then we'll meet at the beach the day after tomorrow morning." Tang Qingxi felt awkward seeing an old man from Tianchi bowing respectfully to him, so he just finished his business and quickly sent the man away.
After seeing Tianchi off, he ran into Ye Qingyi coming in from the backyard. Tang Qingxi asked, "Haven't you seen Old Turtle for a long time? Why don't you talk to him for a while?"
Ye Qingyi smiled and shook her head: "My current wine can't compare to the fine wine in the supermarket. He has always been addicted to alcohol. Go buy some wine."
Tang Qingxi also laughed a little: "I didn't even have time to talk, and I can't escape the alcohol."
"It's okay, let him satisfy his drinking craving. It will take us three days to get to Hai City, and we'll have a lot to talk about by then." Ye Qingyi said indifferently.
Tang Qingxi: "After Laogui leaves, we'll close the store and tidy up the supermarket. You've been to Haishi, so tell me what's selling well there."
Ye Qingyi waved her hand: "Don't worry, as long as it's something sold in the supermarket, there's nothing I don't want."
The old turtle shuttled between the shelves, feeling like he was dreaming. No wonder the mermaids worked so hard to catch fish in exchange for goods, even his friends did this job.
Many of the products in this supermarket are unheard of and unseen. Just take all this wine, for example. How much grain is needed? Even a small country can't consume all the grain needed to make wine every year.
I must buy more this time, hide it and drink it slowly, so that I will never be short of wine in the future.
Well, there is also wine from the Western Regions, buy it.
What kind of alcohol is beer? No matter what, it’s alcohol. Buy it.
Fruit wine is just fruit juice, buy it.
Laogui was so happy among the wine and beverage shelves that he didn't want to leave. Finally, Tianchi, who had been waiting for Laogui for a long time, dragged him back.
After the old turtle left, Tang Qingxi took a look and saw that the liquor shelves were half empty. As expected, he was addicted to alcohol.
