I run a food city in the last days

Chapter 49 Encountered again

Li Xuan became much calmer after crying. Jiang Yi wrapped some ice cubes in a towel from the dining car. She tilted her face up obediently and let out a hissing sound when the ice was applied.

"Be patient, otherwise your face will be swollen tomorrow."

In fact, Li Xuan's left cheek was a little scary at this moment. The man had no energy left at the first glance, and the four bright red finger marks were quickly turning purple.

Jiang Yiyin gave her a cold compress seriously and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of grudge does that person have against you? He was too cruel."

Li Xuan pursed her lips and said softly: "It's okay. We just have a little conflict. We can explain it clearly when we meet next time."

Since the other party didn't want to say anything, she couldn't ask any more questions.

While they were applying cold compresses, Gu Huaiting and the others came back. Seeing that their door was open, they came over to say hello, but they saw a stranger in the room.

A Xiong said carelessly: "Who is this?"

Li Xuan didn't expect so many people to suddenly appear, so she quickly turned around, not wanting others to see the left side of her face.

Little did they know that Gu Huaiting and others, as experienced psychics, could immediately see the details at a glance, so they all noticed her green and red face.

But even the most honest Axiong didn't mention this. When Jiang Yiyin said he had bought some fruit, he immediately cheered: "Long live the boss."

She laughed, handed over a large pot of strawberry juice prepared for them, and then handed over a large bag of apples, and told them, "Don't eat too much, Xiong, we will have to eat later."

"Don't worry, boss, even if I eat all the fruits, I can still eat five big bowls of rice."

He looked proud, and then Sun Hao jumped up and hit his head: "What is there to be proud of?"

Axiong was holding strawberry juice in one hand and started making trouble with him with the other. She was so frightened that she shouted: "Be careful not to hit him!"

The natural playfulness made Li Xuan less restrained. She carefully turned her head and looked at everyone, showing envy unknowingly.

It was soon time to have lunch, and she invited the other party to stay together, but Li Xuan firmly refused. She had to forcefully stuff the other party with a can of strawberry juice and two apples before watching the other party leave.

After they left, Sun Hao asked curiously: "What happened to that girl? Was she beaten?"

Jiang Yiyin told them about the several encounters with her today, and at the end he was a little angry: "Hitting someone is not a slap in the face. That man still tried his best. I really don't know what grudges there are."

Zheng Huijuan snorted coldly: "It's not that the little girl is weak and easy to bully, but if I look at it, his fingers will be broken one by one."

Several girls nodded in agreement. Sun Hao shrank his neck and muttered: "As expected of Mulan's tigress..."

"What did you say?" Zheng Huijuan's eyes widened.

He immediately said loudly: "I say, sisters and sisters, you are so sassy and cool. This kind of man should teach him a lesson. If you encounter someone next time and need you to take action? I will definitely beat him to the ground."

As he spoke, he patted his chest and looked like he was wrapping himself around me, finally escaping the fate of being slapped in the mouth.

After dinner, Gu Huaiting came to see her and Zheng Huijuan and told them about the morning's itinerary.

They went shopping, and he went too, but he wanted to learn about the consumption at Tongxin Base.

Jiang Yiyin couldn't help but feel ashamed. The atmosphere here was so much like the peaceful times. She got lost in it without realizing it and completely forgot about the main business.

"Boss Jiang spends most of his time in the wild. He rarely comes to Tongxin Base once, so he should take a good look around. This place is different from most survivor bases, and it is still worth a visit."

He probably saw her embarrassment, and comforted her with gentle words, which made her feel even more embarrassed. After racking her brains for a while, she said, "I went to the planting base here. The fields in Tongxin seem to be filled with fruits. Lord, they don’t lack staple food, do they?”

"Although Tongxin's base is not big, it is not weak in strength. Coupled with the location advantage, they are indeed not short of food. Boss Jiang probably doesn't know that there are nearly ten teams of merchants who specially detour through Tongxin's base every year, which is the coldest one every year. No one came to visit me during those two months.”

She was indeed surprised that the Tongxin Base was so powerful, which made her worried about their income: "Then will there be a market for our products here?"

"Don't worry," Gu Huaiting was sure, "your food is currently unique."

"That's good."

"Actually, according to my plan, half of the goods we carried were prepared for the Tongxin Base. But this time we arrived by chance. I went to inquire about it. The last traveling trader team came through the Eden Base and brought a lot of goods. There are very few foods with special effects, so our Tongxin probably won’t buy that much.”

She was a little confused: "But didn't you just say..."

"They will accept it, but they won't attach so much importance to the special effects of these foods. After all, Eden is the authority in everyone's mind. No matter what it is, if it has the Eden Group's anti-counterfeiting mark, it must be the best."

"That's true. After all, in peacetime, everyone updates the National People's Congress brand," she shook her head regretfully, "If things don't sell well in Tongxin, we don't need to go around here next time. These ingredients are not necessary anyway."

Although it was a pity that there was no source of fruit for the time being, she believed that sooner or later the system mall would have fruit for sale. After all, how could a food city be without stalls like Fruit Lao?

Gu Huaiting smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. I can guarantee that we will make a profit on this trip. We just need to let Tongxin Base know our existence first."

"Okay, listen to you."

"Tongxin is familiar with Eden. We can't use Changfeng's trick this time. Don't come forward yet. Sometimes it's important to maintain a sense of mystery."

She had no objection and wrote a list of the fruits she wanted to buy according to his wishes, and then she never cared about the negotiation again.

Gu Huaiting and Zheng Huijuan asked Axiong and Lan Ling to stay with her and Jingjing every day. Negotiations with Tongxin Base were much more difficult than with Changfeng. Two days in a row passed, and they still left early and came back late.

Jiang Yiyin couldn't help much in the negotiation this time, so he calmed down and wanted to see if he could complete the task of hiring people.

Who knew it was such a coincidence that she bumped into Li Xuan and that man again.

The two seemed to have reconciled and were walking slightly apart on the road. When she saw the two of them, she happened to hear a passerby greet them: "Brother Qiang, A-Xuan, are you going shopping together today?"

Li Xuan just didn't say anything, but Brother Qiang was more enthusiastic: "Yes, isn't it Xuanxuan's birthday? I'll accompany her to choose a gift."

"You guys have such a good relationship." The man looked envious.

Brother Qiang smiled and said: "Don't do this, your wife has been dead for so long. If you want to show affection, why don't you just find another one?"

The man was startled for a moment, then shook his head after a moment: "It's not that easy."

The other party lost interest in conversation and quickly said goodbye and left.

Brother Qiang's face changed in the blink of an eye, and he curled his lips and said, "Tsk, he obviously misses a woman, but he still pretends to be affectionate."

Li Xuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said calmly: "Brother Luo has always missed his deceased wife. He was truly devoted and didn't pretend."

"You know him so well, have you already fallen in love with him?" Brother Qiang's expression twisted, but he forced himself to hold it back.

He looked around and suddenly grabbed Li Xuan's arm and pulled her into a side alley.

Jiang Yiyin's face darkened, and he quickly called on the other three people to follow him quietly.
