The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 543 Procurement Task
Since we're already here, we won't feel right if we don't take advantage of some deals.

This was also He Luo's earnest advice to him before he came: he must carry it through to the end and bring back more local specialties to share with his brothers.

Zhang Ye chuckled twice at Lu Li in a flattering manner, and the latter responded with a faint smile.

Take it, take it, as long as it fits.

Afterwards, the group came out of the hot pot restaurant, and Lu Li thought they were about to head home.

After all, they were in such a hurry before, wishing they had a time portal to teleport them there.

But Zhang Ye was quite relaxed at the moment, with his hands behind his back, looking left and right, surveying the shops around him.

He suddenly snapped his fingers. "Shall we go to the market and buy some things to take back?"

Lu Li asked in confusion, "Isn't there a vegetable market at the Central Base?"

Zhang Ye said regretfully, "No, Boss Lu! There are only five shops outside the Central Base right now!"

So few?

It feels like there's a lot.

I realized I was copying the store too late, wasting so many days.

"There's not even a vegetable market? What did I leave behind?" Lu Li asked incredulously.

Zhang Ye counted on his fingers, as if reciting a familiar list: "Clinic, appliance store, factory, hardware store, bank, just these five."

Lu Li touched her chin, trying hard to recall, but she couldn't remember, even though Zhang Ye had said so.

It must have leaked.

That's outrageous.

She waved her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the market and buy everything we can."

Zhang Ye let out a small "Oh yeah!" and happily followed Lu Li's footsteps.

The wet market is bustling with people and can be considered one of the shops with the highest foot traffic.

However, today is already the fifth day at the Wolf Base.

Over the first four days, we replicated five shops: a clinic, a factory, an electronics mall, and a farmers' market.

By separating the two vegetable markets, they actually made more money.

Lu Li and her group randomly entered a vegetable market, and the layout and decoration were exactly the same.

As soon as they entered, Zhang Ye said to the ten bodyguards, "Don't follow me anymore, go and explore. I'm safe with Boss Lu. Meet here in an hour."

That's what they said, but they still left two people with Zhang Ye.

The same measures as in the morning were adopted, with staff taking turns providing protection.

So, Lu Li led Zhang Ye and the other two around with practiced ease, introducing the sights as they went.

"This is the vegetable section, that's the meat section, and there's also the seafood section and the grocery section."

Zhang Ye hadn't been here often and wasn't familiar with the place, let alone the two bodyguards behind him, who had never been here before.

“It’s alright, we’ll take it one at a time,” Zhang Ye said.

Lu Li: "Oh, you're not in a hurry now?" Weren't you in a rush before? You even used hot pot to save the food.

Zhang Ye waved his hand dismissively and said, "Well, anyway, we won't get back until the early hours of the morning, so why not take the train that arrives tomorrow morning?"

That makes sense.

Zhang Ye was tasked with the procurement of goods by He Luo, Shen Lao, and others, and could not afford to delay for even a moment.

He kept muttering to himself as he looked at the purchase list.

"Twenty heads of lettuce, ten packs of baby bok choy, thirty cloves of garlic, fifteen tomatoes..."

The minimum is ten.

Lu Li felt that Zhang Ye had a very important task. Since she had nothing else to do, she took the initiative to say, "Come on, share the list with me, and we'll each buy half."

Zhang Ye seemed to have seen a savior, and nodded with eyes full of gratitude.

She immediately sent half of the list to Lu Li, saying, "We're counting on you to feed everyone, Boss Lu!"

It sounds like he's entrusting his orphan to someone.

She's a very good actress.

Lu Li played along, saying, "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission. Let's split up then. I'll take charge of the seafood section, and you take charge of the vegetable section." Zhang Ye nodded emphatically, and was about to turn and leave with a flourish when he heard Lu Li say, "Remember to pay!"

The atmosphere was immediately shattered.

Zhang Ye's lips twitched twice, and he deliberately lowered his voice to continue acting, "It definitely will!"

The two shopped separately, with Luli heading to the seafood section.

Looking at the purchase list, I was secretly amazed at how much stuff this group wanted.

Ten pounds of crayfish, five pounds of mantis shrimp, twenty pounds of prawns, twenty pounds of clams, two pounds of squid...

Life is getting better now, and we're buying seafood by the pound.

She's very fast; she looks at an item, buys it, and crosses it off so she doesn't buy the same thing twice.

After packing everything into bags, I put them in the storage space and finished buying all the seafood from the list in twenty minutes.

Next, we headed to the general merchandise section: five bags of rice, two bags of flour, ten packets of hot pot base, and star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and cumin powder...

It's very complete.

This is because I want to bring home everything I want all at once.

Another long half hour passed before Lu Li finally finished the list sent by Zhang Ye.

She checked everything again from the beginning, making sure that everything was crossed out before she felt at ease.

Then they went back to find Zhang Ye, who was in charge of the vegetable and meat sections.

It will probably wander around the meat section.

Sure enough, Zhang Ye was picking out beef, looking incredibly serious, as if he knew a lot about it.

When he saw Lu Li arrive, he earnestly asked, "Boss Lu, do you think I should buy this one or this one?"

Lu Li rubbed her chin, thought for a while, and finally said, "Buy them all. Adults don't make choices."

That makes sense, but you have to make a choice with your wallet.

Zhang Ye thought both were good and ultimately bought them both. Lu Li crossed her arms, speechless with emotion.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered with it.

She asked, "How's the shopping? How much is left?"

Zhang Ye's progress was similar to hers. He glanced at the list and said, "We're still missing the meatballs."

The meatballs were packaged in bags and neatly stacked in the freezer.

It contains not only various kinds of meatballs, but also dumplings and glutinous rice balls with various fillings.

He picked it up while muttering to himself, as if that would help him remember it more clearly.

"Five packs of beef tendon balls, two packs of small fish balls, two packs of shrimp balls, three packs of beef balls, one pack of preserved vegetable meat balls..."

"Two packs of celery and pork dumplings, and one pack each of cabbage and pork, and fennel and pork. And one pack of mini glutinous rice balls too..."

Luli watched as he took one of everything, almost a bag of each.

Looking at it this way, it's clear that Old Shen and his group are quite wealthy; they certainly don't skimp on food.

This trip will cost quite a bit of money.

Finally, all the items on the list were purchased, and the group left the market satisfied.

Lu Li suddenly remembered something and asked, "I remember, don't food delivery platforms have wet markets?"

Zhang Ye scratched his head. "Really?"

Lu Li affirmed, "Yes."

She remembered that she was there at the time, and vaguely it was she who took Cai Ling (the vegetable market) to find Jiang Xinlong (the express delivery station).

Although food delivery platforms are slightly more expensive than physical stores and require delivery fees.

Okay, that's why you need Zhang Ye to buy things for you.

To save money!

How many vegetables could we buy with the money we saved?

OK.

Lu Li understood; since someone had finally come, they definitely had to be taken advantage of.
