Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili continued to walk forward, passing by other small supermarkets. It was full of people grabbing things, and some people were already fighting.
After those three years, everyone was very brave in stocking up.
In this unknown situation, people could only be braver.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Ruan Ning stopped.
Cheng Jili took out the candle that her brother gave her, lit it, and found that it was a hot pot store not far from the community. The door of the store was closed and there was no one around.
Ruan Ning knocked on the door: “Boss? Is the boss here?”
There was no sound inside.
Ruan Ning continued: “We are here to buy vegetables. These things can’t be stored for a few days, and you have already prepared a lot. Why don’t you give some of it and sell it to us? I’m willing to pay double the price.”
After about half a minute, the rolling shutter door was gently pulled up.
The young male boss said, “Come in quickly.”
Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili looked at each other and entered the store warily.
The store was not big. Only the candle in Cheng Jili’s hand emitted light. In addition to the young male boss, there was also his wife who did business with him.
The boss’s wife held a little baby in her arms, and the child was sleeping.
Ruan Ning didn’t waste any time: “We bought whatever vegetables you have left. If there is extra food, we will also buy it.”
The male boss hesitated and said: “There are still a lot of vegetables and some frozen food, but we don’t sell noodles.”
Ruan Ning nodded: “I understand.”
The boss quickly packed up half of the vegetables, including cabbage, spinach, coriander, leeks, enoki mushrooms, mushrooms, etc.
There were also sweet potatoes, potatoes, dried fragrant seeds, lotus roots, radishes, and kelp. Some of these had been washed, while some had not been processed.
The boss also packed some frozen beef, pork belly, chicken feet, beef balls, fish balls, and other meats.
Hot pot stores would also sell vermicelli, sweet potato noodles, instant noodles, and other staple foods. Generally, the boss would take dry goods when purchasing these items and just soak them before selling them.
Ruan Ning saw many boxes from his kitchen warehouse. There were about twenty boxes of instant noodles, but she didn’t say anything.
Naturally, the male boss saw the look in her eyes and saw the two girls. He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s not certain that anything will happen now. I just got some goods here and I’ll give you two boxes of instant noodles.”
This thing was nothing to Ruan Ning, but it was a good thing to Cheng Jili.
Her eyes lit up: “Great! My brother just told me to buy something easy to preserve.”
The male boss looked reluctant. Now no one knew what happened, but he still wanted to help a little bit. After all, he still had a lot of inventory.
He couldn’t be without food in the future, right? It was just a power outage.
Ruan Ning looked at the honest appearance of the young couple and suddenly said: “Well, I have a can of baby milk powder here, which should be useful to you. I will trade this with you for two boxes of instant noodles.”
The boss’s wife holding the baby was immediately delighted: “Really?”
She was busy working all day, and her milk supply was not enough. But, their milk powder was almost used up!
Ruan Ning pretended to take out a bucket of milk powder from her backpack, but actually, she took it out of the space and handed it to the two of them.
“This is a brand-name product, so you can rest assured. I happened to buy it for my nephew and forgot to take it out of the bag. There is no use for me to keep it now.”
The couple exchanged glances, and the male boss quickly took the milk powder: “Okay, let’s exchange for two boxes of instant noodles.”
Because of this bucket of milk powder, the boss’s wife refused to charge double the price, so she gave it to the two of them according to the price of the food that she bought.
