Chapter 6: Heading to the Morning Market, Let's Shop!
It's 3 a.m.
Li Xing'er was once again awakened from a nightmare, with a ring of sweat still covering her body.
She was soaked to the bone.
After taking a shower, I looked out the window and thought that the wholesale market was where the crowds were at their peak.
There are only 9 days left before we have to travel through time, so we really can't afford to waste even a quarter of an hour now.
After washing up, she took a taxi directly to the West City Wholesale Market.
Although it was 3 a.m., the wholesale market was packed with people. There were workers unloading goods, vegetable vendors buying vegetables, and restaurant owners purchasing goods. Everyone was working hard to make a living.
She looked at the chili peppers on the ground, thought for a moment, and then gave up. Eating too many chili peppers could cause internal heat and breakouts, so she continued wandering around. When she saw a stall selling other vegetables, she went over and greeted the owner:
"Boss, you've prepared quite a lot of dishes."
The vegetable vendor laughed heartily:
"There's no other way; we have to make a living."
"You must have arrived very early!"
Li Xing'er guessed they would arrive around 1 or 2 PM.
The boss, wearing an apron, nodded:
"We all leave home at 12:50 and arrive here promptly at 1:00."
"So you all basically have to come at one or two o'clock?"
"Yes, that's right. It's to support my family."
"Then I'll take all of these, and deliver them all to this location."
After speaking, Li Xing'er looked at the amaranth, young ginger, potatoes, and other vegetables on the ground.
The vegetable vendor exclaimed in surprise:
"You want all of these? I just collected them yesterday?"
"Okay, I want it all. I'll give you the money now. Have someone deliver it to this warehouse at eight o'clock this morning. There's someone there to receive it."
"Okay, I'll take it. My sister is a straightforward person."
While she was calculating the cost with the vendor, she continued to look at the other dishes.
The phone lit up.
6730 yuan is gone.
She also bought a lot of other vegetables, such as loofah, bean sprouts, radishes, spinach, old pumpkin, sweet potatoes, lettuce, and kelp, spending a total of about 100,000 yuan.
We've bought almost all the groceries.
She continued looking at the fruit.
Myolie Li immediately set her sights on cantaloupe, bananas, grapes, apples, and so on.
This almost means buying all the products from whichever company you value.
This delighted the fruit vendors at the wholesale market.
They lined up one by one to take her to see the fruit.
This cost another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
Next, we need to buy meat.
Li Xing'er swept through the butcher shop, buying everything from pork belly, pig's trotters, ribs, large intestines, pig lungs, pig kidneys, and even the pork fat used to render lard.
This includes 4000 jin of pork belly, 2500 jin of pig trotters, 3000 jin of spare ribs, 1,000 jin of large intestines, 600 jin of pig lungs and kidneys, and 2000 jin of pork fat.
The total cost was 162865 yuan.
It was already 5 a.m.
She sent a message to the driver, telling her to wait at the warehouse the next morning to receive the goods.
She felt a little tired after sending the message.
Then I took a taxi back to my rented room.
First, I went to the space to drink a bowl of spiritual spring water, then had a good sleep. When I woke up, I was radiant. When I came out of the space again, it was only 6 a.m.
She continued reading the posts.
She looked at the comments from netizens, and most of the suggestions were quite good. She also realized that she hadn't stocked up enough; she hadn't bought enough salt, sugar, MSG, spices, or toilet paper.
I didn't buy any iron pots or anything like that.
Because the space can preserve food, following the recommendation of netizens in the lower left corner, you can get enough steamed buns, meat buns, cloth, cotton, etc.
In addition, netizens mentioned a tactical three-in-one raincoat, climbing rope, repeating crossbow bolts, arc baton, saw, axe, insecticide, mosquito net, lighter, sanitary napkins, medicated oil, and durable cloth shoes.
She plans to buy all of these online.
I bought 1000 raincoats, which cost 29900 yuan.
I bought 500 climbing ropes, each 106mm thick and 20 meters long, for a total cost of 36500 yuan.
200 repeating crossbow bolts cost 6000 yuan.
Other items I just noted down, such as chainsaws, Tang swords, daggers, axes, insecticides, mosquito nets, sanitary napkins, and toilet paper, cost an additional 136047 yuan.
The total cost so far is close to 500,000.
There's still a lot of money left.
After finishing her online shopping, she lay in bed and slept for another hour.
The alarm clock rang.
Li Xing'er hurriedly got up, washed up, and dressed. She went downstairs, ate a few bites of breakfast, and then went to the warehouse in the suburbs.
Outside the warehouse.
The driver, Sister Li, is already helping her count the goods; she gave her the list last night.
After getting closer, she and the driver counted the goods together, which took a full hour.
After taking inventory, she asked the driver to wait outside while she went into the warehouse and put all the purchased items into her storage space.
I only breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the warehouse was empty again.
This morning's plan is to buy watermelons.
Yesterday, watermelons at the wholesale market were about two yuan per jin (500g), which is a bit expensive.
The driver said she would drive her directly to the orchard to buy the fruit from the farmers.
This way there are no intermediary fees.
She nodded and went to buy watermelons and peaches in the morning.
After she locked the warehouse, she walked to the passenger seat of the driver's seat.
She dozed off the whole way, while the driver had a happy smile on her face.
Spending a few days with this little girl will cover the child's expenses for a whole semester.
She was happy.
Half an hour later, the truck had arrived at the watermelon field.
Don't say it.
The watermelon farmers are picking watermelons.
The driver, Sister Li, first went to the owner of the melon patch to explain the situation. The owner immediately cut a watermelon in half, took a plastic spoon, and walked towards Li Xing'er.
He chuckled and said:
"Hey little sister, I heard you're buying a watermelon?"
"You're paying a lot of money per pound!"
"How much do you usually sell it for per pound?"
"The market's not doing well lately, it's only 4.5 cents a pound. If you buy a lot, it'll be 4 cents a pound, okay?"
Li Xing'er raised her eyebrows upon hearing this. Although it was August, watermelons sold in the city, even on trucks, cost at least 2 yuan per jin. She hadn't expected them to be so cheap when bought from the fields.
She looked around and saw that all she could see were watermelon fields.
After thinking for a moment, I returned to:
"Okay, I'll take your watermelon, and the others' watermelons too."
The melon farmer's eyes nearly popped out of his head when he heard this. "What did you say? Are you serious? You're going to take all the watermelons from our village?"
"Um."
She nodded slightly.
If you go elsewhere, it costs two yuan per pound, but now it's only 4 cents in the countryside. She's not stupid, so of course she'll buy it all, and it's fresh too.
"You can start picking and weighing the watermelons now, and then deliver them to the location I specify. I'll give you a deposit first, and I'll give you the rest of the money when you arrive."
"Okay, okay, I'll go get help right away."
"Little sister, I'll find you a place to sit and rest. You can have some watermelon first, our watermelons are really delicious."
"Okay, no problem."
Next, she asked the driver to come along to look at the watermelons, and then the watermelon farmer went to find other people to sell the watermelons together.
The whole village suddenly became lively.
Everyone knew that the watermelon buyers had arrived, and they were going to buy watermelons at high prices. The whole village, young and old, treated it as a big event, and even the village dogs came to join in the fun.
The villagers were working with great enthusiasm.
A little kid even ran over happily to give her ice cream.
She ate her ice cream while watching the huge watermelon being picked.
Everyone's face was beaming with happiness.
The joy of a bountiful harvest was on full display at this moment.
