Chapter 284 Big Sale
"That's wonderful! Doesn't that mean we've already completed more than a fifth of the 1000+ treatment pods we were eyeing?"
Let me see, how many kilograms of these things should we prepare for tomorrow? Should we use a small cart to haul them over, or will you continue to carry them on your backs?
Yufei was overjoyed to hear this good news. She rummaged through her spatial storage to see how much she needed to prepare.
"Well, let's carry them! I can carry almost 80 pounds, and He Junlin weighs about 100 pounds. I checked the black market today, and they didn't prepare any carts. They probably can't afford anything made of wood. As for vehicles, the models on Blue Star are different from those here, and a tricycle would attract too much attention."
We'll prepare this quantity tomorrow, and then see how things go. If things are great and we sell a lot, we'll buy a small truck from here.
Xie Yiren was initially tempted to drive there, but then realized it wasn't realistic and had to give up.
Yufei had never been to the black market and wouldn't offer an opinion, so she nodded.
He told He Junlin to tell Cui Yu'an about this later, and the three of them cooked a meal. After eating, they went back to their rooms to do their own things.
On her second day selling things on the black market, Xie Yiren felt that class time used to pass by so quickly; she was either absorbing knowledge or on her way to absorb knowledge.
Unlike now, when time seems to drag on endlessly, she's eager to go to the black market to check on yesterday's results, wondering if yesterday's sales will open up the market.
Or perhaps their products didn't adapt well to the local environment and couldn't be sold?
This would have to wait until they got out of school. At 6 p.m., Xie Yiren and He Junlin quickly finished their meal, then set off carrying two large bags of things to sell.
"He Junlin, isn't that our booth over there?!"
Looking at the long queues at the stalls, Xie Yiren asked somewhat uncertainly.
“That’s right,” He Junlin was quite certain of this, but what was going on? Did someone take their spot yesterday because they saw how well they were selling?
That's unlikely. The stalls here have all paid their fees and are permanently assigned. They've paid a month's fee, so this place could only belong to them!
Then some people in line noticed them.
"The bosses are here! You two bosses have finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages! Come on, get to your stall!"
The people in line were talking all at once, and Xie Yiren and He Junlin finally understood. A weight was lifted from their shoulders; this group had come for them.
Without saying much, the two of them quickly went to the stall and took out the things from their pockets.
The one at the very front, who was also the first to buy food yesterday, is Musen.
"Good evening, boss! It's so good to see you all again. I forgot to ask you yesterday if you were still open today. I felt strange and uneasy while waiting, thinking you weren't coming. Thankfully, I waited."
The food is delicious. Today I'm going to buy two boxes of strawberries, ten potatoes, ten sweet potatoes, and two bags of cabbage.
Oh, and by the way, are you coming again tomorrow? If not, I might want to buy more.
Musen awkwardly scratched the back of his head. He did want to buy more, but looking at the incredibly long queue behind him...
The black market is different from the legitimate markets outside; these items are very valuable, and buying too much will make others covet them.
He wasn't afraid, but he was afraid of trouble.
“It’s arranged!” He Junlin answered Mu Sen’s question while packing his things.
As for Xie Yiren collecting the money, she then asked the next customer what they wanted to buy.
Xie Yiren noticed that the customers at the front of the line were all somewhat familiar; they were probably repeat customers from yesterday.
Yes, just as Xie Yiren guessed, the first twenty or thirty people were all repeat customers who bought their products yesterday, a 100% return rate.
So much so that Kaslant and her two brothers were ranked more than ten people in line.
Kaslant was growing increasingly anxious, fearing that someone ahead of him might have the same idea as the three siblings and try to buy everything.
She couldn't blame her older brothers; it was her own fault today. After all, she was still a student!
The military university she attended was notoriously strict; even skipping class was a luxury.
Of course, her second and eldest brothers also wouldn't allow her to skip classes.
Originally, her two older brothers meant that only the two of them would come and buy it, and she could just stay home and wait after class.
She definitely wouldn't do it. She finally got the chance to come to the black market, and she didn't want to give it up.
She had anticipated that not many people would know about the special health benefits of these foods, and even repeat customers wouldn't go very early.
As it turned out, she underestimated the foodie spirit of their base.
When they arrived, there were already more than a dozen people waiting there.
They were quite taken aback, thinking that so many people had experienced the wonder of the food, only to find out through subtle questioning that the group in front of them simply thought it tasted good.
I came early to queue up because I was afraid others would also think it was delicious and there would be too many people to get a table.
Anil felt that most of these people were speaking from the heart, although there might be a few who weren't simply after food.
One of Anil's superpowers is telepathy; he can sense whether someone he's questioning is lying.
He had complete confidence in his superpowers and felt completely at ease.
My only worry now is whether the items the two vendors bought will sell out.
Recently, people have been watching "Investiture of the Gods," and they've started praying to heaven and earth for blessings.
Especially now, regardless of whether they're useful or not, the three Caslant siblings all silently prayed that those items wouldn't sell out before they could buy them.
Perhaps their sincerity moved some deity of the Great Xia Dynasty; in any case, there were still quite a few goods on the stall before they made their purchase.
Kaslant spoke to Xie Yiren with a particularly domineering air.
"Boss lady, I'll take all these goods. Could you pack them up and calculate the price? I'll transfer the money to you."
"Haha~ I'm not the boss lady at all. I'm a business partner with that guy. My surname is Yi, so you can just call me Stall Owner Yi. His surname is Lin, so you can just call him Stall Owner Lin."
Xie Yiren was addressed as "Boss Lady" by Caslant, and on the surface, she acted very magnanimously and spoke to Caslant generously. However, her red ears betrayed her embarrassment.
Although they were wearing makeup, which made them look much older than their actual age, they shouldn't be mistaken for a married couple!
In this world, people generally don't like to get married, so all the bases here have jointly decided...
For teenagers who are over 120 years old and still unmarried, each base will randomly assign them a partner, so most of them will try to get married around the age of 120.
They wouldn't get married early unless they met true love, and that would be after they're 80. Do they even look over 80 now?!
Furthermore, Xie Yiren always remembered that they were in a black market and did not tell the group buying vegetables from them their real surnames; instead, she used one of the characters from the general name to represent their surnames.
Let this group of people also have a name for the two of them.
Those behind Caslant didn't even have time to pay attention to their surnames.
Everyone chimed in, expressing their dissatisfaction.
