Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Chapter 723 Acid Rain Part 2

Li Zhen suddenly became a little worried and said, "Will the prices of things in the wholesale market also go up?"

Wu Shun shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Li Zhen's heart immediately became a little uneasy.

You have to know that her living expenses are fixed every month.

If the prices of things in the wholesale market go up, how much can she buy with her living expenses?

As the taxi stopped, Jiang Meng and Li Zhen both knew they had arrived.

Li Zhen quickly took out the money and paid it to Wu Shun.

And Wu Shun did not refuse. Although yesterday was free, he still had to make a living.

Jiang Meng transferred half of the fare from his mobile phone to Li Zhen.

Then Jiang Meng said to Wu Shun, "Uncle Wu, I'll give you some extra money. Can you wait for us outside for a while?"

After Wu Shun heard what Jiang Meng said, he immediately understood and said to Jiang Meng, "Do you want me to take you back again?"

Li Zhen, who was standing by, brightened his eyes when he heard Jiang Meng's words, and thought to himself, why didn't she think of this?

What would we do if the same situation as yesterday happened again today?

So Li Zhen also said to Wu Shun: "Yes, Uncle Wu, you just wait for us outside, we will be out in no time."

Wu Shun was silent for a while, then said to Jiang Meng and Li Zhen, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

Jiang Meng said, Wu Shun nodded, and said to Li Zhen, "Let's go in."

After getting off the car, they walked towards the wholesale market.

You can see that there are a lot more people in the wholesale market than yesterday.

I didn’t see any people on the way here, but here, there are so many people.

At first glance, there were crowds of people everywhere, making it crowded.

Many people gathered in front of many stores, discussing something in groups of three or five. It was obvious that they were very interested in the things in the stores.

Li Zhen, who was standing by, was also shocked by the situation: "So many people!"

Jiang Meng replied calmly: "There are still a lot of smart people."

After hearing Jiang Meng's words, Li Zhen nodded.

They came here because they were worried about the future.

After Jiang Meng finished speaking, he walked inside. When passing by Shengyuan Leisure Food Store, Jiang Meng said to Li Zhen, "Do you still want to go to this store?"

After hearing this, Li Zhen looked towards Shengyuan Snack Food Store.

I immediately saw the owner of Shengyuan store, busy greeting customers.

The situation in the store was different from yesterday.

There are too many customers in the store today! There is almost no empty seat inside, all of them are people choosing food.

Li Zhen paused and said to Jiang Meng, "Forget it. We bought so much from this store and haven't finished eating yet. Let's go to another store today."

After Jiang Meng heard what Li Zhen said, she said, "Okay, let's go check out other stores."

The two followed the crowd and walked a long way forward before they heard a loudspeaker voice: "Fresh and frozen food on sale! Fresh and frozen food on sale!"

Jiang Meng was attracted by the sound and moved towards the source of the sound. Li Zhen followed behind Jiang Meng, carefully protecting his backpack.

I heard that there are quite a few thieves in places like this, especially with so many people here today, so you must keep an eye on your cell phone and wallet.

After a while, Jiang Meng followed the sound of the horn and came to the outside of a store.

I saw that this was a store selling frozen food, with countless freezers placed outside.

There are still a lot of guests around.

Li Zhen looked at the price tag on the freezer and said, "So cheap."

Jiang Meng walked over and looked at the freezers, and found that there were frozen chicken legs, chicken livers, chicken wings, beef, pork, pork ribs, pig trotters, chicken feet, frozen shrimps, Basa fish, squid, hairtail...

The categories are quite comprehensive and the prices are really cheap.

Jiang Meng guessed that it might be because of the power outage, so the price was so cheap. You know, the power outage has lasted for several days.

Even if we have generators, it is better to sell these things first.

Li Zhen was there too, looking at the frozen food with a hint of yearning on his face, and said, "It would be great if we could cook in our dormitory."

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Jiang Meng said to Li Zhen: "Do you want to buy it?"

Li Zhen sighed softly and said helplessly, "I want to buy it, but even if we buy it back, we can't do it."

Jiang Meng nodded, was silent for a while, and said nothing.

Instead, Jiang Meng asked for the boss's number and said to Li Zhen, "Then let's go somewhere else."

After the two left the frozen food store, they soon arrived at a store that also sold snacks.

While Li Zhen was selecting food, Jiang Meng said to the boss beside him, "Give me 5 boxes of those things, for me and her, at a reasonable price."

When the owner of the snack food store heard Jiang Meng speak so decisively, he knew that Jiang Meng was a veteran.

So he didn't dare to fool Jiang Meng, so the owner of the leisure food store said to Jiang Meng: "Well, I'll give you 8.8% off, a lucky number."

Li Zhen, who was selecting food, was surprised when he heard the boss' words: "It's more expensive than yesterday, Jiang Meng, how about we go to the store we bought yesterday?"

As Li Zhen was speaking, he was preparing to put the selected food back.

The owner of the leisure food store, after hearing what Li Zhen said, immediately said: "You also know that it was yesterday, and now the prices are getting higher day by day.

It’s not that we want to raise prices, it’s just that prices are rising at the source, so we have to raise them.”

Jiang Meng didn't react much. He had an idea of ​​the prices of the things he bought.

So Jiang Meng said to the boss calmly, "How about this, you can give my friend an 8.5% discount on the items he picked out, and you can give me two thousand less for mine."

When the owner of the snack food store heard the first half of Jiang Meng's words, he felt that business with Jiang Meng could still be negotiated.

But after hearing the whole sentence, the boss waved his hands and said to Jiang Meng: "No, no, I will lose too much this way."

The boss's answer was within Jiang Meng's expectations.

So Jiang Meng acted very conflicted and said to the owner of the snack shop, "That's it, let's each take a step back.

Mine will be one thousand less, and my friend's price will remain the same."

After hearing what Jiang Meng said, the boss felt that he could still accept what Jiang Meng said, but who doesn't want to earn more money?

So the boss waved his hand to Jiang Meng and said, "I can only give you 300 less."

As soon as Jiang Meng heard the boss's answer, she knew that he was not sincere and did not want to do business.

Jiang Meng also knew that in this period, the boss’s things had no trouble selling and the prices were changing every day.

So the boss is not afraid of losing this customer.

Looking at the boss's expression, Jiang Meng knew that the boss was also very aware of this.

Jiang Meng was silent for a long time, then he said to the owner of the snack shop sincerely, "How about 700 yuan less?"

The owner of the snack food store didn't nod or shake his head, but said to Jiang Meng: "Just 500. If it's still not enough, forget it."

After hearing the price, Jiang Meng knew it was nothing and there was no point in hesitating any further.

So Jiang Meng handed the boss a piece of paper with the original owner's parents' address, and said to the boss: "Okay, then please arrange for someone to deliver it to this address for me."

The owner of the leisure food store took the note and said to Jiang Meng, "You are responsible for the shipping fee, and the prices these two days are a bit high."

Jiang Meng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I understand."

After Jiang Meng paid the money, she waited for Li Zhen to choose her food.

Li Zhen did hear the conversation between Jiang Meng and the boss.

Seeing Jiang Meng buying so many things, it’s impossible not to be surprised.

In just these two days, Jiang Meng spent almost 30,000 yuan, which is comparable to their four years of tuition.

But Li Zhen didn't say much. How Jiang Meng spent her money was her own freedom.

What's more, Jiang Meng also helped me bargain.

The price of food is getting more and more expensive now, and suddenly Li Zhen thought of something.

His eyes suddenly lit up, Li Zhen picked up the phone, clicked on the address book, and called the person named Mom.

After a while, the call was connected.

Although the current network is quite poor, there is still no problem in making and receiving calls.

Li Zhen's mother's voice came from Li Zhen's phone: "Zhen Zhen, what's the matter?"

After hearing her mother's voice, Li Zhen immediately replied, "Mom, has the price of food increased over there?"

Li Zhen's mother didn't expect Li Zhen to care about this question. She immediately said in surprise, "Zhen Zhen, why would you ask this question?"

Li Zhen repeated anxiously, "Mom, just answer me."

After hearing Li Zhen's anxious voice, Li Zhen's mother replied, "It is true that the price has increased, and it has increased quite a lot. What's wrong?"

Speaking of this, Li Zhen's mother was indeed a little helpless, although the prices of food had increased.

But she still had to buy it, otherwise she would go hungry. People always need food.

Li Zhen looked at the dazzling array of food in front of him and said into the microphone of his mobile phone: "Mom, I'm in the wholesale market now. Everything here is 8.5% off. Do you think it's cheap?"

Li Zhen's mother was not excited at all after hearing what Li Zhen said.

Instead, he said quietly, "Is it the kind where the original price is 50, then they raise it to 100, and then they give you a discount?"

After hearing this, Li Zhen quickly said, "No, if the network was not bad, I would send you the photo.

Mom, this is a wholesale market, the prices are really cheap!

Just take the Happy brand potato chips, which cost 5 yuan outside, but only 3 yuan here, and they are even offering a 9% discount right now.”

In fact, the wholesale price was cheaper before, but as the acid rain fell, the price has been rising.

After listening to what Li Zhen said, Li Zhen's mother felt that the price was indeed a bit cheap.

She also has Happy brand potato chips, but they are not just 5 yuan, but 7 yuan, not to mention other things.

So Li Zhen's mother said into the microphone of her mobile phone: "What do you think?"

Li Zhen immediately replied: "Mom, please transfer some money to me. I will buy the goods here and sell them wholesale to you."

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Li Zhen's mother said with some distress: "The Internet is so bad nowadays. If I want to transfer money to you, I have to go to the bank."

As soon as Li Zhen's mother finished speaking, Li Zhen said into the microphone of his mobile phone: "Thank you, Mom, for going to the bank. When the money arrives, we will choose what food to wholesale together."

The two exchanged a few words casually before hanging up the phone.

After Li Zhen put his phone back in his pocket, he said to Jiang Meng, "Jiang Meng, I'll ask my mom to transfer some money. I want to wholesale more food and send it back home."

Jiang Meng had been sitting aside, fiddling with his cell phone.

After hearing what Li Zhen said, Jiang Meng looked up at Li Zhen and said, "Very good."

Li Zhen immediately replied: "So we have to wait here for a little longer."

Jiang Meng looked at Li Zhen and said, "I can't wait with you."

Seeing Li Zhen with puzzled eyes, Jiang Meng said to Li Zhen: "I have my own things to do, go somewhere else."

After hearing Jiang Meng's words, Li Zhen realized that it was indeed him who wasted time and he didn't know how long it would take to complete this matter.

If I had thought about this before coming out or in the car, maybe I would have finished wholesale food and left with Jiang Meng by now.

And Li Zhen knew that Wu Shun was still waiting outside, so Li Zhen said to Jiang Meng, "Then you go first. I will go back by myself after I finish my work."

Jiang Meng nodded to Li Zhen, then stood up and walked outside.

Just now, while fiddling with his phone, Jiang Meng placed many orders with the owner of the frozen food store.

After all, the price is so cheap now, Jiang Meng really can't help but buy it.

I guess everyone is packing up now.

When Jiang Meng went out, he passed by a frozen food store. At a glance, he saw the owner and employees of the frozen food store busy with something.

However, Jiang Meng had no plans to go there, because the address of the warehouse was left, so Jiang Meng naturally had to go to the warehouse.

While going out to the wholesale market, Jiang Meng bought wholesale goods in the shops he passed by.

Jiang Meng bought all kinds of things, whether they were useful goods, useless goods, or things that were seldom used.

As for the addresses left, they are of course the addresses of the warehouses.

After Jiang Meng left the wholesale market, he got into Wu Shun's taxi. After telling Uncle Wu the address of the warehouse, Uncle Wu set off.

When Wu Shun saw that Jiang Meng was the only one who came out, he was curious about where the other person had gone.

When thinking about this, Wu Shun asked, "Where is the other little girl?"

After hearing what Wu Shun said, Jiang Meng replied calmly, "She still has things to buy, and I have to go back to pick her up later."
