From Cannon Fodder to '80s Tycoon with My Space Supermarket
Chapter 86: Giving You a Discount
CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: GIVING YOU A DISCOUNT
Upon learning about Jiang Xin and her idea of wanting to rent a warehouse, it was not a sudden whim but a decision made after careful consideration.
The breakfast stall owner’s wife reassuredly nodded.
After thinking for a moment, she really couldn’t recall anyone nearby planning to rent out a warehouse.
So she said to Jiang Xin:
"Don’t worry, leave it to me, dear. After I close up today, I’ll help you find out."
"You also know that around the vegetable market, they are all people doing small businesses. Basically, the warehouses nearby are idle, but whether anyone wants to rent out, I really don’t know."
"Come by tomorrow morning, and I’ll tell you the result of my inquiry. If there’s something available, I’ll take you to see it tomorrow."
The breakfast stall owner’s wife took complete charge of Jiang Xin’s request to rent a warehouse.
After all, she has been around this vegetable market for so many years.
Anyway, she has some connections. Renting a warehouse is just a small matter.
Moreover, in this vegetable market, they are all old acquaintances of hers. Anyone you mention has known her for at least ten years.
With such connections, renting a warehouse is not a difficult task at all.
After Jiang Xin received this assurance from the breakfast stall owner’s wife,
her heart settled.
Hearing the breakfast stall owner’s wife say to come back tomorrow morning to learn the results of her inquiry,
Jiang Xin smiled at her and nodded, saying:
"Sister, I’ll wait for your news!"
After saying this, Jiang Xin turned back, glancing at her watch, noticing it was still early, so she casually bade farewell to the breakfast stall owner’s wife.
She then wandered around the vegetable market.
She wanted to see what kinds of goods were being sold by the vendors in this market.
Recently, she had been diligently making money by selling goods in the vegetable market.
After so many days, she hadn’t even walked through the entire vegetable market.
With time on her side today, she decided to take a proper stroll.
After all, it was still a long time before her meeting with Lin Ye.
So, Jiang Xin wandered leisurely through the vegetable market to pass the time.
She thought that around nine o’clock, she would go to the market entrance to bring out the goods from her space.
In this way, she would have just enough time.
Jiang Xin observed that most people were there to buy vegetables, unlike her, who was just wandering around.
Jiang Xin pondered a bit, feeling that she didn’t seem to have anything she wanted to buy.
After all, she had everything in her space, lacking nothing in any category, so there were very few places she could spend money.
However, to pass the time, she continued to shop, and she had to admit that certain things from this era still attracted her. After all, they all had a unique aura belonging only to this era.
As Jiang Xin strolled, she unknowingly walked over to a section selling plates and bowls.
Her gaze was immediately drawn to the bowls and chopsticks on the stall, as well as the plates and other items.
Especially those enamel basins on the stall. Those were indeed absent from her space.
Jiang Xin’s interest was piqued, and she squatted down in front of the stall and began choosing.
Particularly those enamel cups with patterns on them. At first glance, Jiang Xin felt they were a bit tacky, but after a closer look, she found them quite pleasing.
The stall owner, a man in his thirties, found it odd to see a young girl like Jiang Xin squatting down to look at the plates.
After all, those who usually bought things from his stall were generally middle-aged women in their forties and fifties.
It was quite rare for a young girl like Jiang Xin to come around to buy plates and bowls.
These plates and bowls all had unique features of this era, quickly overwhelming Jiang Xin with choices.
The stall had one remarkable feature.
That was the clearly marked prices; almost every plate and bowl had a corresponding price in front.
Jiang Xin glanced at them and found the prices to be very cheap and entirely within her acceptable range, so she went on to pick more, one after another.
Jiang Xin was choosing so intently that she didn’t even notice the stall owner’s gaze studying her.
Ultimately, it was still the stall owner who spoke up, and only then did Jiang Xin realize that the man had been staring at her for quite a while:
"Young lady, did you come here alone? What kind of plates are you looking to buy? I have quite a variety here; if you like anything, feel free to take more."
"I see you picking one after another. Are you moving into a new home and need more plates and bowls?"
"If you take a lot, I can give you a discount. After all, it’s not easy to make money these days; I can offer you some reductions, a discount, something like that."
After hearing this, Jiang Xin thought about how, if she managed to divorce Fu Yu soon, she’d move out to live by herself.
She indeed needed some plates and bowls.
Though she had plenty of plates and bowls, and of a finer variety, in her space,
the plates from this era were also very nice, so why not buy a few more?
These items wouldn’t go bad; if she ended up with extras, she could keep them in her space, taking them out for admiration later.
Consider them as travel souvenirs.
After all, her random time-travel experiences were quite bizarre, and who knows when she might suddenly go back to her original time.
It’s possible, after all.
Having been reincarnated once, Jiang Xin has become more relaxed in her mind, taking a playful perspective toward many things, seeing many issues in a lighter way.
Therefore, after listening to what the stall owner said, Jiang Xin decisively agreed:
"Great, great, I’ll buy more, you better give me that discount!"
After all, there wasn’t much money left in her pocket; today’s goods hadn’t been sold yet, and she hadn’t received any funds.
Plus, she still had to rent the warehouse tomorrow and might have to pay rent, and she didn’t even know what the cost would be.
So naturally, saving a bit where she could was the way to go.
