The woman in Qin Shuai's arms asked him with some dissatisfaction: "Handsome, why do we spend so much money on such stale food? It will be difficult to deal with it after the snowstorm. You might as well buy me two more bags!"
"You little S-type, you don't understand this, do you? In this situation, food is much more important than money. Those lowly people are willing to gamble their lives. How can we compare with them? It's always a good thing to store more food. If you can't finish it, you can just throw it away. We have plenty of money! Haha~" Qin Shuai laughed.
Qin Shuai is the section chief of a land bureau in Jinghai District, Haidu City, and this woman is named Liu Lan, one of his mistresses. Qin Shuai has received a lot of "local specialties" while doing things for others over the years. In order to minimize the risk, he installed a large safe in each of his mistresses' homes to store the "local specialties" in them. Liu Lan is his favorite mistress, and the "local specialties" stored here are more than in other places.
Just when Qin Shuai was about to "punish" this ignorant woman, there was a knock on the door and Qin Shuai stood up with a start.
"Brother Qin, I'm Yang Suqing, here to deliver the goods to you!" a voice came from outside the door.
"Wait a moment!" Qin Shuai walked to the peephole of the door and looked through it. He saw a tightly wrapped man standing outside the door holding a bag of rice.
"Put the things on the ground and step away. I will leave the money for you after I take the things!" Qin Shuai said.
"Haha, Lao Qin, it's boring if you act like this. What if you take the things without paying?" Yang Suqing sneered.
Qin Shuai hesitated for a while and said, "How about this, you leave first, I'll put the money on the ground, you just take the money and leave the things!"
"Haha, it's up to you. I have 5 kilograms of rice here!" Yang Suqing said with a smile, and then left Qin Shuai's room.
"Pfft~ handsome guy, you are an official, why do you act like you are doing some illegal transaction?" Liu Lan smiled while covering her mouth.
"You know shit. The further we get to the back, the more we have to be on guard against these troublemakers." Qin Shuai said unhappily.
Then he opened the safe, took out the money, and walked carefully to the door. After confirming that there was no one around, he opened the door, threw the money on the ground, and quickly closed the door.
Not long after, Yang Suqing returned to the door, confirmed the cash, put down the rice and left.
"Damn it, this bastard is really a troublemaker." Qin Shuai took back the rice and saw that there was snow all under the rice. It seemed that it was good enough to get half of the 5 kilograms of rice. He couldn't help but curse.
After that, several more groups of people reached deals with Qin Shuai, but they were basically shortchanged on the weight, and one person even ran away with the money.
After the entire transaction, the amount was at least one-third short of the intended amount. Even so, he and the sellers in the chat group still gave each other positive reviews.
"Forget it. When it comes to material possessions, safety is the most important thing. At worst, I can just collect some more 'local specialties' after the disaster." Qin Shuai could only comfort himself in this way.
However, after seeing the food stored in the house, Qin Shuai couldn't help but smile again. He had not finished his previous food, and with the food he had just bought at a high price, it would be enough for the two of them to eat for at least another half a month.
"Knock, knock, knock~" Qin Shuai returned to bed and was planning to reward himself when the door rang again.
"Who?" Qin Shuai was shocked. All those who wanted to trade with him had already completed their transactions. Anyone who came to him at this time would naturally be worthy of his suspicion.
"Haha, brother, it's me, Yan Ping!" the person outside the door answered.
"Yan Ping from 1701? Why are you here?" Qin Shuai walked to the door and asked vigilantly.
At this moment, Qin Shuai's cell phone rang. When he opened it, it turned out to be a friend request for verification. The other party was Yan Ping.
"Haha, that's right. I have something here too. Are you interested?"
"Oh~? Don't you look down on this little bit of money I have?" Qin Shuai said jokingly.
"Haha, the money you gave is indeed a bit low. Do you know that the people in Building 3 have already raised the price of instant noodles to 3,000 yuan a pack, and there is still no demand?" Yan Ping said.
“Hmph~, 3000, then you can just sell it to them!” Qin Shuai snorted coldly. He also paid close attention to the owner group of Mingyue Community. Except for their Building 7, the people in other buildings had a bleak life these days, and most of them had run out of food.
"Haha, you're joking, brother. The temperature outside is over 70 degrees. Wouldn't it be courting death for me to go out and trade with them?" Yan Ping said with a wry smile.
"It's good that you understand this principle, Xiao Yan. I understand that you young people are under great financial pressure, but don't be greedy. The snowstorm will be over soon, and you have many places where you need to spend money." Qin Shuai said.
"How about this, I have 40 packs of instant noodles here, and I will sell them to you if you give me 100,000." Yan Ping didn't waste any more words and directly stated his purpose.
When Qin Shuai heard Yan Ping mention 40 packets of instant noodles, his mouth twitched. This kid was the poorest person before the unified allocation. Where did he get so many instant noodles?
However, Qin Shuai reacted quickly and looked at Yan Ping with a smile without saying anything. This kid was too ruthless in concealing the truth.
"Are you going to accept it or not? Just tell me the truth!" Yan Ping didn't care at all about the way Qin Shuai looked at him.
Qin Shuai pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Xiao Yan, you know that the food I collected just now is enough to last until the snowstorm is over. Now you give me such a large quantity and the price is so high! This..."
"Haha, then I won't bother you anymore." Yan Ping said and left decisively.
"Wait! According to the price we agreed on before, 40 packs of instant noodles cost 60,000 yuan. I'll take it." Qin Shuai naturally didn't want to miss out on such a large amount of supplies.
"If you really want it, I can give you 80,000." Yan Ping said calmly.
Qin Shuai was ecstatic at this moment, but there was still a conflicted expression on his face.
Just as Yan Ping shook his head and prepared to leave, Qin Shuai called him again and agreed to buy 40 packs of instant noodles for 80,000 yuan.
Since Yan Ping had a serious history of concealing supplies, Qin Shuai was very cautious during the transaction. Qin Shuai didn't care about losing money, but he was reluctant to give up the 40 packets of instant noodles. After all, if he ate sparingly, 40 packets of instant noodles could be his food for 10 days. Even if there were two of them, it would last at least 5 days.
After a series of complex operations, both parties finally got what they wanted.
Li Mu naturally saw the residents of Building 7 trading food, but he didn't say a word. These people were going to die anyway, so it was just a futile struggle. Money was like waste paper in the current world, and its only use was probably to burn firewood for heating, right? Qin Shuai was the one who made a lot of money!
