Chapter 175: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Prepare for a Rainy Day
Chapter 175: Extreme Cold Doomsday: Prepare for a Rainy Day
"Wow! Lollipop!"
"Spicy noodles! Spicy noodles!"
Seeing several children coming home, Zhang Dachuan, who had originally planned to put other things there first, changed his mind.
He first opened the boxes of various fast foods, drinks, and snacks and placed them on the shelves one by one.
He compared the price list of purchased goods and set the selling price of the snacks.
Two large buckets of fruit lollipops, one bucket with 100 lollipops, the purchase price is 25 yuan per bucket, so each lollipop is 25 yuan, and the selling price is 50 yuan.
As soon as the price tag was put on, Jiang Jiang immediately took out five dollars from his pocket and said arrogantly:
"Uncle Okawa, give me ten lollipops!"
"How can I charge for this?" Zhang Dachuan shook his head. This convenience store was only opened thanks to Jiang Jiang's help. How could he afford to take her money?
"Uncle Dachuan, just because you don't take my money today doesn't mean you won't charge me for things I buy in the future? What about other people in the village? Will you not charge them for things they buy?"
Jiang Jiang asked back.
Zhang Dachuan was speechless, but Zhang Heng saw something and advised his father:
"Dad, keep it. Jiang Jiang and the others came here specially to be our first customers."
With Zhang Heng's words, Zhang Dachuan reluctantly took the five dollars handed over by Jiang Jiang.
It was clearly only five dollars, but the moment Zhang Dachuan got the money, his eyes became moist.
After so many years, he can finally earn money for his family again.
Zhang Heng saw his father's appearance at this moment and turned around silently, not wanting him to see his slightly red eyes.
Jiang Jiang also inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment.
In order to break this somewhat subtle atmosphere, Jiang Jiang said:
"Come on, come on, choose your favorite lollipops, one for each of you."
The little kids each ate one lollipop, and she, being an adult, ate four, which was totally correct.
The children are no longer surprised by Jiang Jiang's generous behavior. According to Jiang Jiang, they work and she gives some food and snacks. This is a completely fair exchange.
Wang Yiran took a grape-flavored lollipop, but instead of putting it directly into her mouth like the other children did, she wanted to keep it and take it home for her mother.
There were a few villagers standing outside the door watching the fun, and Jiang Jiang's action of taking out money to buy candy was, to a certain extent, also for them to see.
Most of the people in the village are related to each other. If someone forgets to bring money, or if children come to eat, Zhang Dachuan will buy on credit or not.
If it is credit, what should I do if I don’t pay it back? If I don’t give credit, wouldn’t it be too unkind to our fellow villagers?
Jiang Jiang set an example for them. Jiang Jiang played a huge role in Zhang Dachuan's ability to open a convenience store. She had to pay for a lollipop and also paid for the children's food. What about others? Would they have the nerve to buy on credit or get it for free by relying on their connections?
Jiang Jiang ordered a lot of goods, and Zhang Dachuan had difficulty moving, so Jiang Jiang brought a few children to help.
"Xiao Bei, take this bag of spicy noodles to the bottom shelf."
"Yiran, come and take this box of instant noodles over and put it on the second to last shelf on the left."
......
When Zhang Heng saw Jiang Jiang instructing the children as if they were using his own arms, he suddenly felt that the image of Jiang Jiang in his mind had been overturned.
This time, when Jiang Jiang ordered various supplies, he had a lot of selfish motives.
We ordered several boxes of compressed biscuits alone. Just break off a small piece, soak it in hot water and it will become a paste, which is enough for one meal.
There were several boxes of instant noodles. In order to save space, she only bought one box of barrel-packed noodles, and the rest were all bagged versions, which offered increased quantity without increasing the price.
She bought quite a few spicy strips and candies, but only a small amount of puffed food that took up space.
Brown sugar, rock sugar, white sugar, soy sauce, vinegar...a full range of seasonings.
In addition to these foods, there are also many daily necessities.
Jiang Jiang has everything from small items like a sewing box, razor blades, and hair bands to various commonly used household hardware, pipes, frequently replaced light bulbs, hot water bottles, and even firecrackers for festivals.
The main focus is on comprehensive development.
As for wine, Jiang Jiang told Zhang Dachuan that when she went to the city, she would bring back a few large barrels of Erguotou.
This wine is strong and has a high alcohol content. Several people in the village who drink like it.
Everyone worked for a while before they put most of the things in place.
Zhang Dachuan pushed his wheelchair and quietly familiarized himself with the locations and prices of various goods.
"Our village finally has a store."
Jiang Jiang was so tired that he put his hands on his hips and looked at the neatly arranged shelves, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go to the mountain to find some wild grass and leaves!"
Needless to say, seeing the dazzling array of snacks and the various exercise books and stationery that Jiang Jiang specially bought for the children in the village, Wang Yiran consciously wanted to go up the mountain with a few friends.
They don't go into the deep mountains and forests, but just wander around the edges and pick up a lot of dry or wet branches and leaves.
These things were worthless in the past, but now, they can be exchanged for money and used to buy all kinds of things.
It is foreseeable that after the factory is built, even dead branches and leaves will be hard to pick up in the vicinity, so Wang Yiran wants to seize the opportunity with his younger brothers and sisters in the village while the adults are still at work.
Jiang Jiang did not join them this time. They just agreed that they would settle the bill when they had picked up a certain weight.
After saying hello to Zhang Dachuan's family who were still busy, Jiang Jiang left.
Returning home alone, Jiang Jiang can finally live a peaceful life again.
She returned to the bedroom.
The bedroom had been decorated at this time. The floor was covered with fluffy carpets, and the mattress and sheets were brand new. On the small and cute table were a cup of mango sago and a box of fruit salad that she had just taken out.
Jiang Jiang drew the curtains, turned on the projector, changed into home clothes, and lay on the bed, eating fruit, drinking milk tea, and watching the latest TV series.
There are a total of forty-seven episodes in the whole season, and only the twelfth episode has been aired so far. Jiang Jiang is a little worried. Maybe the TV series will not end when the cold wave comes.
After thinking about it, Jiang Jiang placed a foot-operated generator in the main room.
This type of generator is cheap and generates electricity mainly through manpower, but correspondingly, the generator can store less electricity.
It is enough to charge mobile phones, computers and lights, but it will be a bit difficult to charge other things.
She placed the generator at home so that people in the village could see it as they came and went, and it wouldn't be so conspicuous when she took it out later.
Jiang Jiang has already begun planning for future collective life. If everyone lives together, she will have to have something to say about playing with her phone and watching movies every day.
It would be so depressing to stay in the house in the freezing snow with no entertainment.
What she did was called preparing for a rainy day.
