40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

The shopkeeper's fingers fiddled quickly, and after a few minutes, he looked up at Yun Feifei.

"Master, your batch of goods costs a total of 189 dollars. Do you want to pick it up yourself, or do you want us to deliver it to your door?"

It's impossible to deliver the goods to the door. If he were to send it back to Yunjia Village, not to mention what the villagers would think, the original owner's grandmother would definitely stick to him like a dog-skin ointment.

Given Wang Yulan's personality, she would definitely take all the goods for herself, and would even ask Yun Feifei about the source of the money and ask her to hand over the remaining property.

Yun Feifei shook her head at the shopkeeper and said, "Please help me prepare the goods first. I will come over in two hours to tell you the address."

Yun Feifei put down twenty dollars as a deposit, walked out of the grocery store and continued walking forward.

There are still many things to buy, and she can't carry them all by herself. How about buying a carriage?

Yun Feifei quickly rejected this decision. How many trips would it take her to carry the goods back and forth by herself using a horse-drawn carriage?

What a waste of time!

She should go see if there is any place for rent and rent a place to store her things so that she can take back the space all at once.

I happened to see a pastry shop, so I went in to take a look. There were no customers in the shop at that time. On the counter were mung bean cakes, lotus cakes, jujube paste cakes, and fermented rice cakes...

These pastries whetted people's appetite at first sight, so Yun Feifei asked the shopkeeper to give her three servings each.

"Boy, you really want three of each. Do you have the money to pay for it? This is not cheap!"

With experience, Yun Feifei didn't want to waste time and directly took out her wallet.

Seeing Yun Feifei holding the money bag, the shopkeeper said nothing. He picked up an abacus and started counting.

In this current situation, you would be a fool not to make money.

Just these pastries cost her twenty dollars. No wonder there are so few customers in this shop. These are not something that ordinary people can afford.

Then I watched the shopkeeper wrap it in kraft paper and then pack it in a cross shape with rope.

Yun Feifei stacked the cakes into the backpack layer by layer, just filling it up.

When Yun Feifei left the pastry shop, the pastries in the basket had already been transferred into the space.

Yun Feifei walked forward, looking for the information she had just heard from the owner of the pastry shop.

Yun Feifei originally wanted to ask him where to rent a house, but the shopkeeper said that his friend happened to have a house for rent, so Yun Feifei asked him for the address.

Yun Feifei rode her bicycle into an alley. The alley was less than two meters wide, with quaint courtyards on both sides.

She found the owner's location according to the house number, got off her bike and knocked on the gate.

The person who opened the door was an old man with a long beard. He first looked Yun Feifei up and down, and based on the way Yun Feifei was dressed, he thought she was a beggar.

The old man said, "Wait," and turned and walked in.

After a while, the old man came out with a bowl full of porridge and some pickles and handed it to Yun Feifei.

"Here, eat quickly. Just leave the bowl at the door when you're done!" After saying that, the old man motioned Yun Feifei to take it quickly.

Yun Feifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She raised her hand and shook it at him, "I'm here to rent a house!"

When the old man heard Yun Feifei say this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he had experienced a lot and his expression quickly recovered.

He put the bowl aside and opened the door. "You want to rent a house, come in and take a look!"

As soon as Yun Feifei stepped through the gate, she saw a tree in the yard, a bare tree with only the trunk left.

The old man noticed Yun Feifei's gaze and explained, "This is a jujube tree. It originally had a few jujubes on it, but yesterday a swarm of locusts attacked and it became like this!"

Yun Feifei followed the old man and walked around. It was a small courtyard with three rooms, a main room, a kitchen, and a well in the yard.

Yun Feifei looked into the well and saw a little water at the bottom.

There was only a bedroom with a bed, and a living room with a table and a few chairs, and no other furniture.

She is not using the house for residence, but as an intermediary to transfer materials, so this house is suitable.

After some bargaining with the old man, I rented it for five dollars a month.

Including the deposit, Yun Feifei gave the old man ten dollars and took the key to the house from him.
