92: Stay safe in Ping An supermarket

"Twice the price before the apocalypse."

Jiang Fei randomly picked a few items as examples: "For instance, a bag of instant noodles, which used to cost an average of 3 yuan, now sells for 6 grams of gold."

"Self-heating hot pot with meat, about 45 yuan, sells for 90 grams of gold. The vegetarian one, usually 20 yuan, sells for 40 grams of gold."

"Warm clothing has prices on it. Double them and put on the labels. For items without prices, sell them according to the Safety Shelter's prices."

"Loose food is uniformly 100 grams per jin."

Crippled Wang and Su Liuyuan took their subordinates to label the goods, while Jiang Fei was responsible for labeling tobacco and alcohol.

There were a total of 7 bottles of alcohol, each priced at 19,999 grams of gold.

A single cigarette was 88 grams of gold, a whole box was 6,666 grams, and a carton of 10 boxes was 88,888 grams.

The better the packaging, the higher the price.

Ordinary survivors rarely bought tobacco and alcohol, at most a few cigarettes to satisfy a craving.

Aside from single cigarettes, the other items were for customers in the wealthy circle.

A portion of the wealthy circle would compete with each other.

Now that tobacco and alcohol were scarce, whoever had them signified a substantial family fortune.

Whether for showing off or as gifts, tobacco and alcohol were very suitable.

After labeling the tobacco and alcohol, Jiang Fei moved a small round table in front of the cashier and two cardboard boxes.

The boxes contained food she had found previously. They had been soaked in a flood, and the outside of the bags was a bit dirty, but they were not broken or damaged and were edible. They had been piled up in the Supermarket warehouse.

She could take the opportunity to clear them out and even run a promotional event.

Jiang Fei took a pen and wrote on the whiteboard—[1 gram of gold for 1 item].

All the goods were labeled, and everyone went home to rest.

Sunday morning at 8 AM.

The teammates were off today and came to Ping An Supermarket with Jiang Fei.

The plaque had already been hung, covered with a red cloth.

Crippled Wang waited outside with his men.

Seeing Jiang Fei arrive, Crippled Wang showed the cloth bag in his hand: "Boss, I prepared something good for you."

Jiang Fei looked at the cloth bag in confusion; it was a string of bright red firecrackers.

Xiao Jin Yang Number 1 is really something!

He could even get firecrackers!

"Oh, and Boss, I've been putting all the gold from selling contraceptives in the store's lounge recently," Crippled Wang said, a network of wrinkles appearing on his face as he smiled:

"The wealthy circle doesn't trade in gold, but their children do. I've collected 10 kilograms of gold, two large suitcases full."

Jiang Fei: "Don't leave later, I'll treat you to a meal."

Once he's full, he can continue earning gold for her!

At exactly 9 AM, Jiang Fei pulled down the red cloth, revealing the Ping An Supermarket plaque.

At the same time, Crippled Wang lit the firecrackers.

The crackling sounds attracted the attention of many people.

Jiang Fei raised the handheld megaphone she brought. Unaccustomed to such occasions, she simply said, "Ping An Supermarket officially opens today. Everyone is welcome."

As the talkative ones, Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui enthusiastically shouted.

"Don't miss it! Ping An Supermarket has everything you want! Points items, gold items, all available!"

"Come on! Enter Ping An Supermarket for safety! Not superstitious! Just for peace of mind!"

Su Liuyuan wanted to join the duo, but he had to be at the cashier. He took the calculator and mini electronic scale he brought, went to the cashier, opened the window beside him, and poked his head out.

His peach blossom eyes curved slightly, alluring and captivating. He asked everyone who passed by, "Would you like to come in and take a look?"

Lu Yu couldn't shout, so he simply stood at the storefront as a mascot, with a gentle smile, refined and elegant.

The two successfully attracted many girls to stop and gaze.

Even though the Safety Shelter was well-built, after several months of survival, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted and had no mood to tidy themselves up.

Now seeing something pleasing to the eye, they naturally wanted to look a few more times.

Moreover, Ping An Supermarket was clean and tidy, unlike other shops that were crude and messy, so more people entered.

Some were curious, some came to join the fun.

Crippled Wang brought the Wu Brothers and A Meng to act as sales assistants.

Scarface and the other subordinates, looking fierce, were sent away by Crippled Wang to rest.

Jiang Fei was not needed in the store, nor was she needed to attract customers.

Jiang Fei found another small round table from the small warehouse, moved it to the storefront, placed 5 cigarettes on it, and pulled up the whiteboard to write.

[A cigarette is 88 grams of gold. The store also sells whole boxes of cigarettes and fine alcohol.]

"Little Jiang!" Old Mrs. Xu walked over in a festive red cotton-padded jacket:

"I heard Qian Yao say you're opening today. I wish you a prosperous business. This is Grandma's opening red packet for you, you must accept it."

"Thank you, Grandma Xu." Jiang Fei took Old Mrs. Xu's red packet with both hands. Just as she put it into her jacket pocket, Old Mr. Wu arrived, leaning on his cane.

"Miss Jiang, congratulations on your grand opening. I wish you a prosperous business." Old Mr. Wu also took out a red packet.

"Thank you, Old Mr. Wu. I'll take you to the lounge."

Jiang Fei was about to ask Xiao Chuxia to help watch the stall, but Old Mr. Wu stopped her.

"You go about your business. I just came to show my support."

"Little Jiang, you're busy today. I'll come again when you have time."

Old Mrs. Xu and Old Mr. Wu left after speaking, afraid that Jiang Fei would keep them.

Watching the two elders leave, Jiang Fei's eyes softened. She habitually used her pocket to store the red packets in the Supermarket warehouse.

[Ding — Detected gold: 88 grams]

[Ding — Detected gold: 66 grams]

Unexpected gains!

Grandma Xu and Old Mr. Wu knew she liked gold and specifically sent it on opening day, both auspicious numbers. A warm current flowed through Jiang Fei's heart.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

"Poor ghost, what good alcohol do you have in the store?"

The man in a mink coat looked at Jiang Fei arrogantly.

He wore a gold chain as thick as a pinky finger around his neck, two thumb rings on his hands, and a heavy gold watch on each wrist.

Xiao Jin Yang Number 3!

Jiang Fei had a deep impression of the leopard-print gold man.

Yao Jin, however, did not recognize Jiang Fei.

It was too cold in Longxing Town before, and Jiang Fei and her companions all wore warm face masks, only revealing their eyes. Yao Jin had never seen what any of them looked like.

Jiang Fei mimicked Yao Jin, raising her head and looking at him through her nostrils: "We have baijiu, red wine, and foreign spirits. Each bottle is 19,999 grams of gold. Can you afford it?"

To deal with this kind of person, one must use provocation.

As expected, Yao Jin scoffed: "Niu Er, go home and get two boxes of gold bars."

Niu Er immediately complied.

In less than half an hour, Niu Er returned, panting, carrying two suitcases, which he slammed onto the table, crushing 5 cigarettes.

Yao Jin opened the top suitcase and threw out a 500-gram gold bar: "This is for your cigarettes, is it enough?"

Jiang Fei glanced at the box, feigning disdain: "It's enough for the cigarettes, but probably not enough for the alcohol."

"This box of yours has 20 pieces of 500-gram gold, plus the one below, minus what you spent on cigarettes, that's only 19,500 grams."

Hating to be looked down upon, Yao Jin took off his necklace and thumb rings and threw them into the box: "These are enough for 500 grams. The extra is for you."

"To get you, a poor ghost, a good pair of eyes."

Automatically ignoring Yao Jin's words, Jiang Fei asked Ling Zhaorui to help move the boxes into the store and had Su Liuyuan weigh the gold jewelry.

Two thumb rings plus one necklace, 606 grams.

After confirming all the gold was fine, Crippled Wang took it to the lounge and locked it up.

Jiang Fei took another 5 cigarettes to sell outside, while Ling Zhaorui was responsible for receiving Yao Jin.

"All the alcohol in the store is in the display cabinet. Which bottle do you want?"

"moutai."

No sooner had Yao Jin spoken than a woman's voice rang out from outside.

"Jiang Fei! Happy grand opening! This is a golden lucky cat that Director Ning and our Rescue Team collectively gave you! Wishing you a prosperous business!"

Yao Jin suddenly ran out of the store.

Surrounding Jiang Fei were Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing of the Lin City Rescue Team, who had checked his ID card and given him food.

Jiang Fei... He remembered that name!

No wonder he thought the other person's voice sounded a bit familiar!

Thinking that he had spent so much gold and been tricked again, Yao Jin angrily smashed the moutai on the ground at the entrance.

Jiang Fei and the others looked over at the sound.

Yao Jin gritted his teeth: "Damn poor ghost!"
