Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

After the other two foam boxes were opened, a cloud of white smoke formed by cold air immediately came out, which immediately brightened people's eyes. After the white smoke dissipated, juicy cabbages were revealed. In the other foam box, there were big apples that exuded the fresh and sweet scent of fruit.

The man was pleasantly surprised to see fist-sized tomatoes, but he didn't expect to see cabbages that were not wilted at all in this weather, and even a box of apples that made him drool at the smell.

"Young boss, these are..." The man rubbed his hands, waiting eagerly for Gu Tongwan to explain.

"Oh, a friend of mine grows it on her farm, but it's just a hobby for her. She only has one acre of land, so the harvest isn't much. But she can't eat it all, so she brings it over to me to help sell some."

The woman behind him had her fingers slightly curled up behind her back, her fingertips slightly white, and a hint of cold air still emanating from them.

She is actually in charge of black market purchasing, and she usually comes into contact with a lot of goods. There is also a plantation in the black market base, which covers an area of ​​at least dozens of acres. However, after the flood and acid rain period, the deep soil was damaged. Despite many attempts, normal crops cannot be grown. No matter what is planted, the appearance and taste of the plants will undergo subtle changes in abnormal environments.

For example, when ordinary pumpkin seeds are planted, they do not produce pumpkins, but instead a black fruit. This fruit tastes bitter and has a strange smell.

The finished products from ordinary wheat and rice are not good either. The rice has a moldy smell and the wheat flour tastes grainy. It seems that in the apocalypse all crops and fruits and vegetables have mutated into another kind of creature.

Currently, 80 percent of the fruits, vegetables and plants before the end of the world cannot be grown, and the taste of the crops grown from a small number of improved seeds has also changed qualitatively.

This is also why agricultural products are in inflation both inside and outside the base. After all, the quantity of goods cannot keep up with people's demand, and a small part of them is used as people's daily staple food. Therefore, there is still a daily shortage of supply. After all, if you don't eat these, the human body will not get enough nutrition. Even if the price is expensive, there is no shortage of people buying them.

Because the woman was a black market worker, she usually received a lot of subsidies, and occasionally got fresh fruits, vegetables and agricultural products from the farm. She thought her usual diet exceeded that of most people, but she was still a little stunned when she saw the things in the foam box. She hadn't seen such fresh and juicy vegetables in three years, especially the box of apples, with their bright red skin and rich fruity aroma, which was a world of difference from the batch of frozen apples in her home, which were dry, dry, and even a bit sour.

The woman couldn't help but walk over, even forgetting to activate her supernatural powers, staring at the foam box in front of her with curiosity.

Two boxes of tomatoes, one box of cabbages, and one box of apples, which together look like only about two or three hundred kilograms of stuff.

It has to be said that no matter the size, color or freshness, they are enough to beat any fruits and vegetables seen on the market now. Even the expensive fruits and vegetables that are carefully selected on farms and supplied to the rich and powerful may not be as good as the goods in the hands of this small boss.

She finally understood why her colleagues were so cautious in receiving the young boss. It turned out that the young boss really had some capabilities.

The man stared at the fruits and vegetables, his face beaming with joy. He originally thought that the goods Gu Tongwan brought were nothing more than some fruits and vegetables with slightly better quality control. In fact, it was already a surprise enough to get tomatoes and cabbages in this season. But when he learned that there was another box of fruits, the man even decided to sell it to the homeless organization's base at a high price.

However, it is obvious that the quality control of this batch of fruits has exceeded his previous expectations, which should be said to be a big surprise.

I never thought that the boss had such a batch of good stuff.

"Little Boss, you are so kind. Is your friend a researcher at the Agricultural Science Institute?"

Gu Tongwan could only smile and shake her head: "No, she just likes to tinker with these things in her yard, and the yard is limited in size, so this time she just happened to plant some fruits and the like, but she is not a professional after all, so she didn't plant a large area."

"I see. That's a pity. But does she have any plans to work in this field? Ah, I mean, we have our own plantations and farms here, so..."

Before the man could finish his words, the woman who had been standing behind him patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Chen, stop talking. Can't you see that the boss is in a difficult situation? Let's check the goods first." Worried that the man would scare the girl away by asking too much, the woman quickly stopped him from asking any more questions.

The man also reacted at this time, and then scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I was a little too emotional just now."

Yan Fan glanced at Gu Tongwan lightly, and heard Gu Tongwan say in a calm voice: "You can check the goods first, you can taste them all, if there is no big problem with the taste, we can discuss the price."

It seemed that the woman was waiting for these words. Her eyes were filled with smiles. "Leave the apple to me. I often eat it at home and I often go to the farm in our camp. I am very familiar with it." As she said that, she picked up an apple from the foam box without hesitation. There were still some water stains on the apple. The woman wiped it clean carefully. She did not take a bite eagerly. Instead, she put it close to her nose and sniffed it. Sure enough, she smelled the unique fruity fragrance of apple.

It has been several years since she smelled this kind of fragrance. The woman couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy it, but suddenly she felt a burning gaze staring at her, so she opened her eyes awkwardly, and then took a small bite cautiously.

"Click"

It is crispy and sweet when eaten, with thin skin, plenty of flesh and rich juice. It was the top-quality Red Fuji fruit sold in fruit shops in the past.

After taking one bite, the woman seemed unable to stop and took several more bites in succession. Everyone saw her taking one bite after another. The apple seemed very crisp and each bite made a sound. You could also see the juice being squeezed out, so everyone started swallowing their saliva unconsciously.

"Sister Pan, you just ate it, tell me what you think, what is the quality of this apple?"

For general food, especially fresh fruits and vegetables or meat, the black market usually uses three types of markings: [Top Quality], [Middle Quality] and [Low Quality] when receiving goods.

The so-called [superior quality] refers to the goods with the best quality, almost no flaws and trading value; [middle quality] is also easy to understand, which is the goods with quality control above the passing line and can be sold at a good price; the worst is [inferior quality], which is barely of passing quality and has trading value but the profit to be obtained from it is very small. Generally, [inferior quality] goods are not very popular in the black market, but because food has been in short supply in extremely hot weather, even [inferior quality] food can be sold at a good price recently.

"【Top Grade】No doubt," the woman said confidently, swallowing the apple in her mouth. She then added, "I will take some of these apples away later."

The man could only smile bitterly: "Sister Pan, there aren't many apples here. If you take them away, it will be difficult for us to do business later."

"You are afraid of nothing. I won't let you suffer any loss. Just give me a 20% discount. I won't be too excessive." In fact, even if it is a 20% discount, the profit is enough for the man to make a fortune.

The man curled his lips, but did not dare to provoke the woman. After all, the other party was a C-level mutant, and his family had some background. It was only half a box of apples, so it was not a loss.

The man took a tomato and smelled it carefully. He didn't smell any pesticides. He looked up in surprise and said, "Little boss, your friend didn't use any pesticides?"

"No, it's completely natural."

The man's eyes suddenly changed, and he stared at the tomato in front of him with some disbelief.

In fact, the reason why the man was shocked was that it was less than a month since the insect plague ended, and their farm was like it had experienced a terrible catastrophe. All the plants including the lawn were eaten up by the mutated locusts and cockroaches. The vegetables with protective nets or in greenhouses survived, but their quality was poor and the taste was not very good. The man also went to the base with someone else's brand-name card, and the fruits and vegetables in the base supply and marketing cooperative and the farmer's market were basically the same as those on the black market farm.

I couldn't help but pick up a tomato. This tomato was basically ripe, with a rosy color and a plump size. It was basically as good as a batch of greenhouse tomatoes grown on their farm.

The man seemed reluctant to eat it, but when he saw the woman next to him eating an apple cleanly and even licking her fingers with a sense of satisfaction, he struggled in his heart, and finally wiped the ice water off the tomato and took a bite. The sandy tomato was sweet and sour and juicy, and the juice burst in his mouth all of a sudden, and his whole mouth was filled with the aroma of tomato.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he instinctively took big mouthfuls of the food, almost like a wolf swallowing it.

Yan Fan couldn't help but sneer, but then he thought about how he couldn't help but eat a tomato she handed to him in the car. He could already imagine that anyone would do the same to a man when eating this tomato for the first time.

The man swallowed the whole tomato in less than a minute, and felt a little regretful after eating it. He thought that such a good thing should be savored slowly, and stuffing it into his mouth like this was a waste of deliciousness.

"Boss, I won't bargain with you. These things are really good stuff. I'll give you the price according to the [medium quality]." The man seemed very generous, and the smile on his face was brighter than before. He continued: "Last month, the market price of [medium quality] tomatoes was 18 points per kilogram. This month, the prices of goods are rising, so the current price is 25 points per kilogram. I estimate that your two boxes of tomatoes are only 70 to 80 kilograms. I will give you 80 kilograms, which is a total of 1,000 points. As for apples and cabbages, the current price of [medium quality] apples is 35 points per kilogram, and the price of cabbages is 30 points per kilogram. The total weight of these is, let me see, um, the total is 4,750 points."

The man moved the electronic scale on the ground, then stretched out his hand to pull a few foam boxes to his side, but was blocked by a hand.

When he looked up, he found that it was Gu Tongwan who stopped him. There was no smile on his face, but he walked slowly to the front of the goods.

Yan Fan behind him had good eyesight and quickly put the lids back on the foam boxes that had been moved to the other side.

The woman sighed in her heart and muttered "idiot" silently. These good stuffs, let alone [top quality] ones, would be scrambled for if they were auctioned by the box at an auction house. But he just wanted to take advantage of the huge price difference and deliberately described other people's good stuff as [medium quality]. No wonder the boss was angry.

"I'm sorry, the price is a bit different from what I expected. I'd better set up a stall and sell it myself." Gu Tongwan didn't like nonsense. If the other party felt that she didn't understand the market and wanted to cheat her, then it didn't matter if she didn't do the business. She believed that these things could be sold out in a short time at the stall tonight.

The woman's eyes rolled, and she immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Little boss, I will give you these goods according to the [top quality], what do you think?"

Seeing that Gu Tongwan didn't respond, the woman didn't rush and continued, "Though these things are good, if you really want to set up a stall outside in such hot weather, in two hours, the tomatoes and apples might be fine, but the cabbage will really wilt."

In fact, the woman's words were not completely bluffing. The temperature outside was 46 or 47 degrees Celsius. A bottle of iced water left outside would melt to room temperature in less than an hour, not to mention this box of cabbages.

"What's the price for [Top Quality]?" Gu Tongwan's eyes were clear and if it weren't for his messy beard, the woman would have subconsciously said what beautiful eyes he had.

After being stunned for a while, the woman quickly came to her senses, "Tomatoes are 51 kilograms, cabbages are 65 kilograms, and apples are 71 kilograms." In fact, the woman had already given a very high price. If she sold them individually, she would basically make about 15 points per kilogram, which is quite reasonable.

"Sister Pan, you! You are obviously trying to mess things up, aren't you?" The man glared at the woman and growled in a low voice.

The woman named Sister Pan didn't pay any attention to this man at all. It was his own fault for being dishonest in doing business. But I heard that the weather has been too hot recently, so his business has gone down a lot and he hasn't been able to get any good goods. I guess that's why she wanted to make a fortune from this small boss.

But unfortunately, doing business always requires honesty and trust between both parties. But I also have to thank the man for his momentary greed, otherwise I would not have been able to get such a bargain today.
