CHAPTER 87: CHAPTER 87: SAVE SOME ENERGY

So she definitely couldn’t pass up such a good opportunity for discounts.

Jiang Xin certainly had to seize the chance to save on expenses.

She smiled at the owner of the plate stall and said:

"Thank you! I really do want to buy a few more."

"I’m moving in a while, so I need to get new plates and bowls and such."

Even though she’s renting the breakfast stall owner’s brother and sister-in-law’s house.

Everything inside, furniture and all, is very complete.

But certain things can’t just be used randomly, so Jiang Xin plans to replace them.

In this case, she calculated a bit and realized that there would be quite a bit of expense.

After all, living in this house should be comfortable, and she isn’t staying short-term; she’s renting it for a whole year.

Therefore, she plans to change some of the soft furnishings at home.

Those large items like the sofa, she won’t pick anew, but she will replace things like sheets and covers.

Also, there are the kitchenwares; pots, bowls, and pans all need to be replaced.

You can’t just use someone else’s old plates and bowls.

That’s really off-putting!

After all, these are things that need to enter your mouth. Not to mention, what if one of these people has some kind of infectious disease, and it gets passed on? That wouldn’t be good.

The medical standards of this era are indeed not as advanced as those of the future generations.

If she accidentally contracts a liver disease, it would be terrible, and besides, Jiang Xin doesn’t even know if she’s still immune right now.

And even if she isn’t disgusted and could use them, the breakfast stall owner’s brother and sister-in-law would probably feel uneasy.

Besides, as they’re moving to the provincial capital, they might as well take all these things with them.

After all, the fewer things she buys, the less money she spends.

Jiang Xin suddenly thought of many things, but upon looking at the plate stall owner still staring at her.

Jiang Xin then sped up her plate selection process, so as not to affect the other customers waiting to choose plates.

No matter how you look at it, you can’t affect their business.

So, she quickly speeded up her actions, swiftly taking the plates she found very pretty and the enamel basins in hand, then handed them to the plate stall owner to check the total cost.

Seeing Jiang Xin’s quick actions.

The plate stall owner was a bit stunned, not expecting her to be so fast.

After all, usual customers generally dawdle when selecting plates, as there are so many types, which can easily make one’s eyes spin.

Someone like Jiang Xin, moving at lightning speed, is quite rare.

But in business, if the goods can be sold, then surely there’s joy in that.

There’s no one who isn’t interested in making money, especially meeting a big customer like Jiang Xin, naturally, it’s a happy occasion.

The plate stall owner quickly adjusted his expression, hiding his original stunned look.

Then solemnly took the plates Jiang Xin selected from her hands.

Holding them, he carefully looked them over and calculated the price.

Jiang Xin picked quite a bit, totaling six plates, two large enamel basins, plus three or four bowls.

She didn’t pick up chopsticks since within Jiang Xin’s space, there are high-quality wooden chopsticks.

They’re a hundred times better in quality than the chopsticks from the stall, so she doesn’t need to use these inferior things.

The stall owner calculated the price quickly, it was basically just one or two minutes:

"All these plates and bowls together are twenty-five bucks."

"Since you bought so many, I’ll give you a discount."

"How about this, I’ll round it off for you, and just charge you twenty bucks instead of twenty-five."

"After all, it’s a small business, low profit but selling in volume. Since you bought a lot, I’ll do you a favor and you’ll be a returning customer."

Jiang Xin wasn’t surprised.

Regarding the stall owner reducing the price by five bucks, she thought it was quite normal, since these goods have a cost price.

Setting the price a bit higher, then giving customers a discount will naturally make them happy.

Jiang Xin casually pulled out twenty bucks from her pocket and handed it over to the plate stall owner.

Then she thanked the owner and took the packed plates in her hands.

Jiang Xin felt they had quite some weight.

After all, they are plates, made of ceramic, so it’s normal for them to be heavy.

Fortunately, the weight is within Jiang Xin’s acceptable range, she thought she could put these plates in her space later when she finds a quiet place, saving herself from the trouble of carrying them.

Jiang Xin had been shopping for quite some time, and after buying the plates, she looked down at the watch on her wrist.

She found that the time had almost passed, leaving only about half an hour until her appointment with Lin Ye.

Considering Lin Ye’s diligent nature, he probably would arrive early and wait for her at the market entrance.

If she went out late, she might just run into Lin Ye.

If at that time she had no cargo in hand and Lin Ye offered to help her move things, that would be bad.

So, Jiang Xin didn’t continue to waste time; she stopped dawdling and exited the market, finding a vacant, unmanned place.

Entered her space and moved all the goods she packed last night out.

Then she placed the newly bought plates and bowls on the shelves in her space.

After a busy bout, it was almost fifteen minutes to nine.

Jiang Xin stood still, waiting for Lin Ye’s arrival.

The place she and Lin Ye agreed upon yesterday was not at the market entrance but the corner she found yesterday.

Jiang Xin kept it simple, after all, carrying all these things by herself to the market entrance would take effort, so it’s better to move everything out from her space here and wait for Lin Ye, as Lin Ye knows this place.

That way, she could save quite a bit of effort.

Having finished everything.

About three or four minutes passed.
