Chapter 116: Showdown, no more pretending



Knowing that she was not an ordinary person, the sharp-nosed monkey said carefully: "It was just slaughtered this morning. I can give you 200 kilograms of it, including bones and skin."

The boss got a lot of supplies, which he obtained through special channels.

We just opened today and haven’t sold a single pound.

Just like she said, rich people have no shortage of meat, but poor people can't afford it at all, so it's not easy to find customers. Even if someone wants it, they only want half a pound or a pound. How long will it take to sell it?

Even the skin and bones are not allowed to be picked out. 200 kilograms may seem like a lot, but the beef bones are very heavy, and the pure meat is estimated to be no more than 120 kilograms.

But opportunities are hard to come by, and the less meat there is as time goes by.

Jiang Ning is a cunning man. He wants the beef leg upwards, and he guarantees that it will weigh 200 kilograms.

"You wait here, I need to ask the higher-ups." This is to avoid the boss beating him again.

The sharp-nosed monkey left in a hurry, and about twenty minutes later, he came back with another person, who was wrapped up so tightly that only his eyes were exposed.

The higher-ups agreed, but they had to inspect Jiang Ning’s goods.

Jiang Ning pretended to search his pocket and took out an extra small umbrella from the space.

Wang Meng Warrior is probably a part-time seller, and he has all kinds of sizes, but...

The key to successful sales, of course, is to sell the hard-to-sell items first.

The other party was very professional. He did not open the package, but checked the printing and seal of the package. "It is real."

200 kilograms of beef for 200 umbrellas, but who would carry so much stuff with them?

Even if the monkey was willing, Jiang Ning couldn't carry 200 kilograms.

For safety reasons, both parties requested multiple transactions, 50 kilograms each time.

After agreeing to go back and pick up the goods, they would make the transaction opposite the north gate of the department store.

Jiang Ning looked around and did not notice that he was being followed. He waited until the time was almost right before arriving at the agreed transaction location.

Not long after arriving, the sharp-nosed monkey came over carrying a black bag.

Jiang Ning checked carefully and found that the frozen meat was dark red in color. It was fresh and had no peculiar smell.

He lifted the weight and pulled out the spring scale from his bag.

The two sharp-nosed monkeys looked at each other. This woman was really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she didn't cheat them.

After testing the beef, Jiang Ning took out an umbrella.

The inspector frowned, "Why are they all extra small?"

Jiang Ning asked back, "Is there a problem?"

The monkey tried to smooth things over, "Brother, as long as it's genuine, it's not a big problem. You don't know those rich people. Although they are very good at making money, they are actually short-sighted and quick."

Jiang Ning, "..."

Is this something she can listen to?

The transaction went smoothly. Jiang Ning put the beef into a large backpack and walked to a deserted place to put it into the space.

Four trades in two hours, one step closer to beef freedom.

The sharp-nosed monkey was extremely sure that she was a fellow traveler, and when they left, they felt a sense of sympathy for each other, "Miss, don't forget to look for me if you have something good in the future."

"The same to you."

Since they were old acquaintances, Jiang Ning took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have any fresh vegetables?"

"There are frozen ones, but they are expensive. The price is about the same as meat."

Jiang Ning probed, "What are they?"

"Potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots."

Sharp-nosed Monkey doesn't sell this. If you want the product, you can only find a competitor. It's really worthless if it's been passed around a few times.

After asking about the market situation, Jiang Ning went home.

When she was almost at the community, she took out three bags of frozen potatoes, about 5 kilograms in weight, and also froze radishes, tomatoes and sweet potatoes, and did not forget to cut two kilograms of beef.

By then, if the three families can scrape together some stuff, it will be considered a good year compared to the other survivors.

When I got to the 17th floor, I happened to meet Grandma Zhong. Thinking about how much couplets and blessing characters there were, I gave her one, which made the old lady very happy.

Back on the 18th floor, Doudou and Coke were walking around each other. They were having so much fun that Doudou was secretly stuffing biscuits into the dog's mouth.

Seeing the owner coming back, the dog decisively abandoned his playmates and rushed towards Jiang Ning enthusiastically.

Instead of rushing home, I knocked on the door of 1801.

She took out the frozen potatoes, handed them to Huo Yishen and said, "This is for you."

This guy is smart, and it's impossible to hide it from him, but this is Jiang Ning's attitude, and he should be smart enough to understand it.

Taking the black-skinned frozen potatoes, Huo Yishen asked her to come in, "Do you want food or something else?"

"No need. You and Doudou feed Coke a lot every time. This is a small token of my appreciation."

A greedy dog ​​is stubborn. If you want to tame it, you must tempt it with snacks. Even after you get familiar with it, it will still dare to ask for food.

People gave it to Doudou without telling anyone, but Jiang Ning couldn't pretend she didn't know. After all, she didn't feed it to Doudou in private.

By the way, I also talked about the supplies I stockpiled for the New Year.

Forget about the personal share, but the New Year supplies have to be shared, and Huo Yishen insisted on giving it.

"We went to fight with the people who collected the grain a few times and collected gold chains, watches, cigarettes and other things. We can use these to trade. Then we can talk to Zhang Chao and the others about it."

Seeing that she had calculated it so clearly, Huo Yishen said nothing more.

Jiang Ning, who was acting, felt a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and asked, "Do you want firewood?"

"Need not."

Yes, 1801 is clean and tidy, unlike 1803 which is blackened everywhere by the smoke of firewood. You can tell at a glance that it is not short of charcoal.

Jiang Ning didn't force it and planned to go back to the house to rest.

"Aning, are you coming today?" Sparring.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Will it bother you?"

In fact, after living as an orphan for many years and three years of darkness in the apocalypse, her personality is not good. She is defensive, selfish, and even indifferent. Even she can't like herself, let alone others.

Even if there was space, she didn't tell Zhang Chao and others. Doesn't he really think she is selfish?

However, having seen the darkness of human nature, even though I am now bathed in the sun, the fear in my heart will not fade away.

So, Jiang Ning had no plan to change.

She hoped that Huo Yishen understood that there was no need to force himself to please others, so as to avoid future dissatisfaction.

"Even if you don't come, I still need to practice. Sparring can actually increase flexibility and adaptability."

Since 1803 was not around, Jiang Ning simply stopped pretending, "I don't have much food, and I won't share my vegetables with you."

What I mean is, don't set your sights on me!

Huo Yishen was amused by her, "Do you think I covet your things?"

"I know you're not, but I'm suspicious by nature."

"Don't worry, I won't take your things." Huo Yishen smiled, "Besides, I have something left with you. If I really want to covet your food and vegetables, you can just take them for yourself."

That's fine, a submachine gun, a pistol, and 500 peanuts.

How could he be so confident that she wouldn't embezzle it?

Well, he has already said that if anyone has ill intentions, his property will be swallowed up.

For several days in a row, Jiang Ning went out.

The living environment will only become worse in the future. It just so happens that Zhang Chao and the others are not here, so she can take this opportunity to find more things that are useful to her.

As soon as he arrived at the department store, before he even entered the door, Jiang Ning was being stared at.

The monkey pulled her to a corner and asked, "Miss, is that thing from yesterday still there?"

That’s 200 umbrellas. Could he be the second Wang Meng?

Jiang Ning was alert, "How much do you want?"

The monkey showed his true colors and said, "I can give you a whole cow, and 1,200 kilograms."
