Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

Shi Ming looked at Jiang Meng's gift and couldn't stop smiling.

Shi Baichuan also looked at the chocolate greedily, because the natural disaster had almost cut off the food harvest, which caused the prices to be extremely high. Chocolate like this could only be bought and tasted during festivals.

Seeing her son's greedy look, Li Xue immediately took out the chocolate, handed it to her son, and asked him to deliver it to his grandfather and grandparents.

As soon as Li Xue finished speaking, Shi Baichuan rushed out with the chocolate. Shi Ming looked at Shi Baichuan's actions and couldn't help laughing and said to Jiang Meng: "Look at this ignorant person."

Jiang Meng said nonchalantly, "I understand." After that, Jiang Meng didn't say much. Shi Ming didn't know that he was poor, so he could only drool at these things.

Then Shi Ming led Jiang Meng to the sofa to sit down and rest, and placed the brazier next to Jiang Meng, while Li Xue went to the kitchen to busy herself. Jiang Meng saw that there was also a brazier in the kitchen.

Jiang Meng was the first to speak to Shi Ming: "My boss has a lot of goods, how do you want to cooperate?"

Shi Ming, who was sitting next to him, confirmed his guess immediately after listening to Jiang Meng's words. Sure enough, there was someone behind Jiang Meng.

Shi Ming was silent for a while before saying, "Don't worry, the price won't be lower than yours, but it would be best if we can ensure a long-term supply of goods."

Jiang Meng nodded and said, "Then prepare a warehouse for me, and I will contact the boss to ship the goods over when the time comes."

Shi Ming naturally nodded in agreement and said, "Our Shi family still has several warehouses in this safe haven. After dinner, we can go and take a look."

Jiang Meng looked at Shi Ming after he finished speaking, nodded, and waited for Li Xue to demonstrate her craft.

After a while, Shi Baichuan came in with three old men. Jiang Meng heard the noise and looked back. The three old men were in good physique.

About 20 minutes later, 6 dishes were placed on the table. They looked simple, but the portions were large.

The seven people sat down quickly. At this time, Shi Ming took out the red wine in his hand. The three old men had already learned from Shi Baichuan that this was a gift brought by Jiang Meng.

After Shi Ming opened the red wine, he poured a glass for Li Xue and Jiang Meng, half a glass for the three old people, and finally poured a glass for himself.

Shi Baichuan was still waiting for his father to pour him some red wine, but he didn't expect that after pouring it for so long, there was still no wine for him.

Unconvinced, he looked at Shi Ming, only to hear Shi Ming say, "Why would a child drink alcohol?"

Shi Baichuan was dissatisfied and replied: "I am already 16 years old, how can I still be a child?"

Shi Ming said calmly: "If you are not an adult, you are just a child. You want to drink? Wait another two years."

Jiang Meng watched their interaction and suppressed the thought that she was not yet 18 years old. After all, it was only a few days away.

Because it was time to eat, everyone took off their masks, including Jiang Meng. Shi Ming had never seen Jiang Meng's appearance before, so he was very curious and immediately stared at her.

Shi Ming felt that Jiang Meng looked younger than Shi Baichuan, and his facial features seemed to have not fully grown. He asked in confusion, "How old are you this year? You look younger than my son."

Shi Baichuan on the side gloated and said, "She looks like she's not even 18 years old. Old Shi quickly took the red wine in front of her away."

Jiang Meng looked at the curious eyes of the people in front of him and replied calmly: "I will be 19 in a few days."

Li Xue and the others were clearly unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do.

After this, everyone ate peacefully.

Li Xue was picking up some meat for Jiang Meng, which made Shi Baichuan very jealous.

After dinner, Shi Baichuan took the elderly people back to their own homes.

Li Xue cleaned up the dishes, while Jiang Meng was taken out by Shi Ming. As the two walked on the road to the safe haven, the further they went inside, the more they saw that the passers-by around them were dressed better and better, with more beautiful styles.

Soon Shi Ming took Jiang Meng to see several warehouses. The one Jiang Meng was most satisfied with was the one that had no surveillance cameras and was in a remote location.

After Jiang Meng and Shi Ming expressed their ideas, Shi Ming contacted the person guarding the warehouse and gave Jiang Meng a key to the warehouse.

Jiang Meng said to Shi Ming: "After I contact the boss, the goods will be delivered soon. I need to keep the delivery process completely confidential. After the goods arrive, I will contact you to let you know when to receive them."

Shi Ming naturally nodded in agreement. It was good enough to be able to get the goods. Moreover, during the last transaction, Shi Ming knew that the quality of the goods Jiang Meng had was guaranteed.

However, the production dates above are a bit strange, as they are all this year. As we all know, the weather has been cold for years, and in addition to some cold-proof bases specially built in the shelter for growing crops, there is still some output.

There were no crops anywhere, which showed that the boss behind Jiang Meng was very powerful. Then Shi Ming passed on Jiang Meng's request.

After finishing everything, Shi Ming took Jiang Meng to the real estate agency. When they arrived, contrary to Jiang Meng's expectation, all the people there were official staff.

Following Shi Ming's recommendation, Jiang Meng looked at the selling prices of those houses and soon set her eyes on a two-bedroom house.

The rent is 5 yuan a month, which is a bit embarrassing for Jiang Meng who only has 2.2 yuan on his body. Fortunately, there is a place to exchange supplies nearby. Jiang Meng also found that gold can also be exchanged for yuan, but it is really not cost-effective for Jiang Meng.

Jiang Meng learned from the original owner's memory that gold and yuan were originally used as trading currencies. Later, because too many people used gold for trading, many wealthy businessmen took the opportunity to stockpile large quantities of goods, and many people also committed fraud, which led to the collapse of the gold trading system.

From Shi Ming's introduction, Jiang Meng knew that the rent in this safe haven was indeed high, but the prices were still cheaper than those outside.

Jiang Meng exchanged 8 bars of chocolate for 40 yuan at the exchange office.

The staff at the exchange office were also very happy that someone was actually coming to exchange this kind of thing. High-calorie items like this are hot-selling items.

Normally, people with a little money can’t even grab them, and for the poor, they can only take a look. After all, trading them for food to fill their stomachs is more valuable!

For the rich and powerful this is just low hanging fruit.

Soon after Jiang Meng paid for half a year, she got the key from the staff and went to Room 5, Unit 2, Building 601, accompanied by Shi Ming.

When I went in, I saw that there were wardrobes and beds, so I could move in right away.

Shi Ming brought Jiang Meng to his residence. Knowing that Jiang Meng still had to clean up the house, he said goodbye to Jiang Meng immediately.

After Shi Ming said goodbye, Jiang Meng took out a broom and mop from the mirror space and started cleaning the house.

After cleaning, Jiang Meng took out a four-piece set and a down quilt from the mirror space and made the bed.

Jiang Meng went downstairs to the supermarket and bought some random things. She asked the staff to cover her clothes tightly. On the way back, other people couldn't tell what Jiang Meng bought.

Then Jiang Meng started to boil water and take a bath.

The day passed like this, and Shi Ming waited at home for Jiang Meng's contact about receiving the goods.
