Chapter 92 Good Stuff
Chapter 92 Good Stuff
"Alright, you little rascal, you know what your Uncle Wang sells here. What are you planning to buy this time?"
In my opinion, it's best to buy more food with a long shelf life and stock up at this time. After all, having food on hand is always reassuring, no matter what.
I've managed to get my hands on some good stuff; I advise you to buy as much as you can if you have any coupons.
"If it weren't for you coming, and someone else had come, I wouldn't have brought out something so good."
Hearing what Uncle Wang, the shop owner, said, not only Shao Kai, but also Dong Qi felt a little curious.
Seeing the curious looks on the faces of the two people at the door, the shop owner, Lao Wang, turned around and went into the shop. He then struggled to carry a large box out of the shop.
Old Wang carefully placed the box on the ground before opening it and sorting out the contents of the box, placing them one by one on the ground.
He then continued, "This is an army field squad supply box. Don't be fooled by its small size; it contains enough supplies to sustain a standard 12-man squad for ten days."
Dong Qi squatted down and carefully observed the types of supplies placed on the ground, from the most basic water and compressed food to slightly more advanced energy drinks and high-calorie supplements.
In addition to food and drinking water, the room also contained basic disinfectant, antibiotics, and a universal antidote.
In addition, there are different kinds of fire-starting items and various kinds of lighting products.
If Dong Qi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, and hadn't known that Lao Wang had personally taken these things out of the box, he would never have imagined that a box that looked only the size of a large suitcase could contain not only a large quantity of survival supplies, but also a very comprehensive range of them.
After Shao Kai and Dong Qi learned what supplies were in the box, Old Wang skillfully stuffed them back into the box.
Before Lao Wang could even carry the boxes back into the shop, Shao Kai asked impatiently, "Uncle Wang, how much is a box of these?"
Upon hearing Shao Kai's question, Old Wang did not speak, but instead held up three fingers.
Seeing Lao Wang's gesture, Shao Kai asked somewhat uncertainly, "Three rolls for a box? Is it that cheap?"
"You also think it's cheap, right? This stuff was delivered at a subsidized price, so the price isn't high. It's just that some people have high standards and look down on these basic supplies." Old Wang said sarcastically, expressing his thoughts.
Shao Kai didn't care who had provoked Lao Wang; he figured it would be a shame not to take advantage of the situation.
He then stuffed all the quota coupons he had just received into Old Wang's hands and said excitedly, "Uncle Wang, these are the quota coupons I just received. I'll take as many as I can buy."
Seeing Shao Kai's somewhat excited expression, Old Wang felt a little helpless before saying, "According to the rules, each person can only buy one box per month. You should know that the supplies in this box are theoretically enough to meet a person's minimum living standard for a quarter."
It's highly unlikely you'll be able to buy more. If it weren't for the purchase limits, this stuff wouldn't be so cheap.
Even though Old Wang had already said that, Shao Kai still continued, "Alright, Uncle Wang, we've known each other for so long, I know your personality inside and out."
If this thing were so popular that it was subject to purchase restrictions, would you still be introducing it to me in the same tone you were using? It's because those people are blind and can't see its actual value right now.
Since others don't care about this stuff, you might as well sell it all to me. Don't think I don't know that even for those limited-purchase items, you have a monthly restocking quota. Even if it's all sold out now, you can still restock normally next month.
Upon hearing Shao Kai's words, the serious expression on Old Wang's face vanished instantly, replaced by a nonchalant smile as he said, "You're the only one who understands me, you carefree rascal."
This thing was delivered to me a few months ago. I recommended it to people who came to my shop, but as you know, most of the people who come here to buy things are women at home.
Most of them are short-sighted and ignorant. They see that other supplies in the market have never been cut off, so they look down on the emergency supplies I sell.
However, you should know that your uncle has a sharp eye, so I've bought all the supply boxes that have been delivered these past few months. Even though I don't have enough quota coupons, ordinary people who want to buy these things are still subject to the rules and limited sales.
"It's just that you and I have a good relationship. Since you've already asked, there's no need to bring up the limit issue. You probably drove here, right? Drive to the pickup area in the back, and I'll go to the warehouse to get the goods for you."
Without waiting for Shao Kai's reply, Lao Wang casually carried the supply box into the store and then hung a sign on the door saying he was out on business.
Seeing Lao Wang's energetic demeanor, Shao Kai felt somewhat helpless about his friend's personality, which was different from his own. He then said to Dong Qi beside him, "Let's go. Since we've already spent all the money, it seems we don't need to continue shopping at the market."
"Being able to buy this is more than enough for us. As for the other things in the market, it's pointless to just look at them."
Shao Kai wholeheartedly agreed with Dong Qi's answer. After all, most men have a clear goal when they go to supermarkets and markets, and they usually buy what they need and leave without wandering around aimlessly.
When the two arrived at the warehouse area, they saw that Lao Wang had already used a tray to pull out the supply box that Shao Kai had bought.
When Lao Wang saw that Shao Kai had brought an Iveco van, his expression instantly became somewhat strange.
As soon as he saw Shao Kai get out of the passenger seat, he immediately said, "You little rascal, you didn't even tell me beforehand that you came in this kind of car."
This truck can't possibly haul all thirty-odd boxes away in one trip. Even if it could fit them all, each of these supply boxes is quite heavy; a standard 4.2-meter box would be difficult to load and move in one trip.
Upon hearing what Lao Wang said, Shao Kai did not immediately refute it, but instead directly opened the trunk of Dong Qi's car.
"I'm telling you, the goods have already been taken out of the warehouse, and it's a bit troublesome to put them back in, so one of you two will have to stay here for a while..."
Just as Lao Wang was giving instructions and making arrangements, he glanced at the scene inside the carriage and immediately stopped talking, then froze on the spot.
