Zuo Lingdao:
“I need to buy some more things. Call me when you’re ready, and I might be able to deliver them all at once.”
The shopkeeper quickly said:
"Is there anything else you need, young lady? I'm familiar with Xinfa Market, and I can introduce you to some shops I know."
Zuo Ling: "..."
Are all businesses this shrewd? They don't miss a single business opportunity.
He thought Zuo Ling didn't believe him:
"Don't worry, young lady, it's definitely good quality and inexpensive. We're in this business for repeat customers, we wouldn't dare to cheat you. Wholesale businesses that cheat don't last long. Whether it's good or bad, we'll tell you clearly."
Zuo Ling took out a few sheets of paper.
There's all sorts of things, it's enough to give an old person a headache.
"Miss, if I may ask, what are you going to do with all these things?"
Zuo Ling had already prepared her explanation: "Our boss is a philanthropist; he donates all his money to orphanages."
The old man looked suspicious, but said:
"The female boss is not only kind-hearted, but also meticulous and thoughtful."
The old man spoke a few words to the people in the shop, arranged for Zuo Ling to sort and load the goods onto the cart, and then took Zuo Ling to the general store first.
The grocery section is not far from the grain and oil section, separated by an aisle.
The shop they went to was run by a thin young man in his twenties.
"Liangzi, is your mom home?"
Liangzi cheerfully called out, "Uncle, my mom went to the warehouse."
Seeing the old man leading a young woman, he nodded to Zuo Ling.
The old man had a close relationship with Liangzi's family:
"I'm bringing you a customer. She just placed an order with me. She wants a lot of groceries. Take a look at the order form first. Make sure you have all the items listed. Give me a fair price, and guarantee the quality and quantity. Don't make your uncle lose face."
The skinny young man grinned and replied, "If you've given the order, I'll definitely do as you say."
The old man handed the order to Liangzi, who quickly scanned it and smiled even more broadly.
"You get ready first, she needs to buy other things, I'll take her to the meat processing plant."
"Okay, you're busy, just come over in a bit, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
The skinny young man bowed and scraped as he saw the two off.
Zuo Ling: "..."
The old woman was a master of time management; she had all sorts of things that kept the general store clerk busy for half a day.
While the skinny young man was sorting the goods, they could go to another store.
The meat section was quite far apart, separated by a snack section, a vegetable section, and a fruit section. It took more than ten minutes to walk there.
Zuo Ling said embarrassedly:
"Uncle, I didn't know it was so far. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
The old man waved his hand:
"It's no trouble at all. I'm used to walking this way and don't think it's far. Why would I complain about distance when I'm doing business? How can I do business if I complain about distance?"
He glanced at Zuo Ling's small frame with disdain, "You young people are so out of shape, you're not even as fit as us old folks."
Zuo Ling felt ashamed and offered some nice words:
“You’re not old. According to the internationally accepted calculation method, you’re under 65 and considered a young or middle-aged person.”
Upon hearing this, the old man realized that he was considered middle-aged, but had grown two inches taller, and was afraid of embarrassing the middle-aged and young people.
A single stall at the meat processing plant occupies over 100 meters of space.
Rows of pig carcasses, sheep carcasses, and cow carcasses were neatly suspended on the elevated road...
Zuo Ling was shocked to see so many corpses piled up for the first time.
A burly man, intimidating in appearance, spotted the old man from afar and called out to him:
"Old Hong, what brings you here?"
His voice was booming and powerful, attracting the attention of many.
He asked Lao Hong, but his eyes were glancing at Zuo Ling.
"I'll show you a customer who just placed an order with me."
A short sentence that expresses a thousand words.
It means, don't underestimate this young girl just because she's young; she's spending real money, so don't take it lightly.
Sure enough, the rough-looking man's facial features immediately softened.
His eyes were trying to figure out Zuo Ling's identity. She didn't seem like a butcher or a buyer... Question marks kept popping up on his forehead.
The old man explained:
"Her boss is a very kind person; he orders goods to donate to welfare homes."
The rough-looking man suddenly realized, "That's it!"
A subtle question mark emanated an ambiguous, pinkish glow. What was the relationship between this philanthropist and the girl before him? Relatives? Lovers? ...
Anyway, their relationship is special, and such a lucrative position wouldn't fall into the hands of someone unrelated for no reason.
Zuo Ling handed him the order.
2000 jin of pork belly, 2000 jin of pork butt, 2000 jin of spare ribs, 2000 jin of pork bones with meat, 2000 jin of pork tenderloin, 2000 jin of large intestine, 2000 pig trotters, 1000 pig hocks, and 20 pig heads.
5,000 jin of beef shank, 2,000 jin of beef tenderloin, 2,000 jin of beef steak, 2,000 jin of beef bone, 1,000 jin of beef tripe, and 1,000 jin of beef honeycomb tripe.
Mutton: 20 heads of Yanchi Tan sheep, 20 heads of Altay fat-tailed sheep, 20 heads of Ujumqin sheep, 20 heads of Jingyuan sheep, 20 heads of Hengshan sheep, and 20 heads of Ulan Chaka sheep.
To save money, it's best to buy whole pork and beef, but Zuo Ling doesn't know how to do it and finds it too troublesome.
She likes to eat hot pot and barbecue.
If the sheep are small, I'll get a few to practice my knife skills, just for fun in this apocalyptic world.
After reviewing the order, the rough-looking man was suspicious. These days, are all the philanthropists... this virtuous? They even specified the origin of the mutton!
If you give it to someone else, they'll be able to tell the difference. It's free, so who would dare to complain?
I've never seen anything like this before!
The smile on his face became even more genuine:
"Other things are easy to discuss, but the sheep, the girl wants all of them, I need to gather them, it will take a few days, and the price is not low."
The rough-looking man served sheep from local farms when the customers didn't specify their names. Zuo Ling, however, wanted the six most famous sheep with the best meat, which were significantly more expensive.
Several days later, Zuo Ling waited, and the apocalypse arrived, causing many species to become extinct.
