It's broken! I was targeted by the villain after the apocalypse

After leaving Qin Yue's place, Liu Jinan had a map to Gangli Village in his hand. Qin Yue was indeed a rare all-rounder who was quite accomplished in drawing maps.

"Shall we leave the city tonight?" Duan Haiping asked Liu Jinan about his plan.

Liu Jinan strolled into the kitchen and said, "It's getting late. Let's leave the city tomorrow."

Duan Haiping understood: "Are you hungry?"

Liu Jinan admitted it honestly.

That’s right, he has been busy for so long but hasn’t even had a bite of hot food, and his stomach is already protesting.

He lifted the lid and looked at the empty pot and the wilted vegetables in the basket next to it, his inner depression was beyond words.

"Qin Yue currently has no source of income, and his companions are in the same situation as him. It's conceivable that their food is not that good."

Duan Haiping found Liu Jinan's sad expression somewhat amusing.

This little guy said he couldn't even get any food when he was begging for food, and now that he has food to eat he's still being picky.

"Xiao Duan, I want to eat meat." Liu Jinan was not going to let his stomach suffer. "We've made a lot of money, how about using some of it to improve our food?"

Duan Haiping pretended to disagree: "Didn't you say that the money should be left to Qin Lingyue to help her realize her wish?"

Liu Jinan said confidently: "Xiaoyue is in the growth stage, so we should buy more meat to supplement her. Chickens will be listless if they don't eat, and people will be deficient in nutrition if they don't eat meat."

"After all the explanations, in the end you still have to use our small treasury?" Duan Haiping said helplessly.

He doesn't want to beg every day.

Liu Jinan, knowing that he was in the wrong, assured, "It won't cost much, just look at me."

They disguised themselves a little, covering the lower half of their faces with black cloth, and then set off for the market.

In the evening, most vendors closed their stalls early, and only a few were still open.

Liu Jinan found a small stall selling seafood and fiddled with the half-dead fish and shrimp with a look of disgust, and was reluctant to ask the price.

The stall owner couldn't help but ask: "Do you want to buy it or not? If not, don't rummage around, or you might kill my fish!"

Liu Jinan didn't want to linger and turned to leave.

The stall owner quickly stopped him and said, "It's already this late. If you want to buy seafood, there aren't many places that sell it except mine!"

Liu Jinan paused slightly, as if convinced by his boss's words, and squatted down to look through it again.

After a long while, the stall owner asked him reluctantly: "Have you looked through enough? What do you want? If you can't find it, I can choose it for you."

Liu Jinan just made a "tsk" sound.

"I'll give you a lower price. I dare say there's no other place in the market that's cheaper than mine!"

Hearing this, Liu Jinan slowly spoke: "I want them all. Will you sell them for one silver dollar?"

Is it a child?

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "One silver dollar? You must be kidding. I would not sell these fish and shrimps for just one silver dollar if I were to sell them to merchants specializing in seafood!"

Liu Jinan: "Forget it, I'll look at other stalls."

"You kid," the stall owner rubbed his face, "I didn't say I won't sell it to you. If you add a little, I'll help you clean the internal organs and remove the scales, okay?"

"Add another dime, no more, no more." Liu Jinan said decisively.

After buying the candied haws, he had some idea about the currency of that era.

Based on the current purchasing power, one silver dollar can buy eight kilograms of pork. It is indeed a bit difficult to buy almost twenty kilograms of fish and shrimp.

But in business, how can he get the benefits without forcing others and bargaining?

The reason why he didn't ask the price right away was the same. Once the stall owner knew he was a child, his momentum would be weakened, and bargaining would be ineffective.

"Oh, forget it, one yuan and one dime is one yuan and one dime. It's such a huge loss!" The stall owner shook his head and sighed, as if he was being taken advantage of.

Liu Jinan and Duan Haiping knew very well that this price was still within the stall owner's psychological expectations.

If these fish and shrimps are kept until the next day, they will definitely not be sold at this price. The boss is cutting his losses in time.

The last weighing showed 15 pounds of fish and 10 pounds of shrimp.

The fish were strung together with straw ropes, and all the shrimps were put into the shrimp basket that Liu Jinan took from the kitchen.

"Boss, the fish hasn't been processed yet." Liu Jinan reminded.

The stall owner gasped: "I sold it to you at a loss, and you asked me to handle the fish for you. Do you have any heart?"

Liu Jinan smiled and said, "If I don't cover the cost for you, you will have to sell it for a long time. I saved you time, shouldn't you give me convenience?"

Wow, what a powerful mouth!

The stall owner couldn't argue with Liu Jinan, so he had to hold his breath and help him clean the fish: "Here!"

"thank you boss."

After buying the fish and shrimp, he realized that both he and Duan Haiping had shrunk in size, and taking these fish and shrimp was already their limit.

"This is enough to last us three to five days," Duan Haiping said, seeing that he wanted to buy meat, and stopped him. "We have to leave tomorrow, so why not wait until we return from Gengli Village before buying meat."

"Alright."

If you buy too much, the taste will probably be much worse with the current preservation methods that rely on salting and sugaring.

The two brought the fish and shrimp back to the base, attracting the covetous eyes of Qin Yue and his companions.

Liu Jinan didn't mind everyone having a bite together, but there was one thing: "These are mainly bought for Xiaoyue's body. Others are not allowed to think about Xiaoyue's share."

Qin Lingyue had been drooling at the sight of fish and shrimps, but when she was at home, her parents always thought she was a waste of money.

Whenever there was something delicious, her parents would always give it to her brother first and never ask her if she wanted to eat it.

But Brother An An said in front of everyone that all the fish and shrimps must be given to her.

She couldn't help but look at Uncle Qin: "Is it really okay?"

Do I really deserve to be given priority in eating these fish and shrimp?

Before Qin Yue could answer, Liu Jinan told her decisively: "Of course you are worth it!"

Even if it wasn't for the purpose of completing the mission or taking this test, he would give the delicious food to Qin Lingyue.

It was not until this moment that Qin Yue realized that he seemed to have never fulfilled his responsibilities as an uncle.

He only brought Xiaoyue out of the cage that oppressed her, but did not teach her how to build her own life.

He had never dispelled the darkness for Qin Lingyue. Once he was gone, Xiaoyue would fall into hell again.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyue. It's uncle's fault."

Qin Yue squatted down, hugged the little girl tightly, tears streaming down his face.

Liu Jinan took this opportunity to quietly send the food to the kitchen. After the cook prepared the food, they could start eating.

But he still didn't understand: "Why is Qin Yue crying for no reason?"

"He might be afraid." Duan Haiping could understand Qin Yue's emotions, "He almost ruined Qin Lingyue."

"Ah?" Liu Jinan didn't quite understand what Xiao Duan meant.

Duan Haiping did not want to explain. He just called out in a low voice: "Liu Jinan."

"what happened?"

"Promise me that you will live well and not die." Duan Hai ordered with a stern face.

I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light.

I never thought that even though I didn't believe in gods or Buddhas, one day I would not be able to help but pray to God not to take away my light forever.
