Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 405

At the beginning, Zhou Shuwan went looking for supplies every night and searched all the big supermarkets in the city, so there were a lot of these things in the space, but the family used small quantities, so they definitely could not be used up. So he picked out some that were not in good condition and sold them.

Zhao Lijuan is very capable and manages everything in an orderly manner. The exchange price offered satisfies the customers, and Zhou Shuwan's family is also very satisfied.

Business was surprisingly good. Everyone was desperately short of supplies, and toothpaste and the like had long since run out, so everyone was just gargling with salt water.

They then took various supplies to exchange.

Zhao Lijuan is calm and patient when dealing with guests.

She is compassionate and will propose a solution to some guests who are short of money so that the host will not lose money but the guests can buy the much-needed supplies at the most favorable price.

Once, a ragged mother, holding a shivering child, wanted to exchange her cotton-padded jacket for the child. Chen Lijuan said, "I don't have many cotton-padded jackets here. They're all soaked in water, cleaned, and then dried. They're not very warm anymore. How about you trade me two kilograms of potatoes?"

The mother nodded quickly and took out a small cloth bag wrapped in rags from her arms. There were some potatoes in it. She counted them carefully and handed them to Chen Lijuan. She then took out the smallest cotton-padded jacket from a pile of clothes and wrapped it around the child.

Zhao Lijuan felt warm in her heart as she watched the mother leave with profuse gratitude.

Zhou Shuwan happened to be passing by her shop with her mother. Seeing this, Zhong Tiyun nodded and said, "It's not that I'm being too kind."

Zhou Shuwan took a look and said nothing.

When Zhao Lijuan turned around and saw them, she quickly waved and greeted them: "Sister Zhong, Wanwan, you're here. Come in."

Busy pouring tea and serving water.

Zhong Tiyun told her not to worry and to focus on the store first.

Just then, another guest came to the door, so Zhao Lijuan smiled apologetically and hurried outside to greet the guest.

From outside, I could hear her talking patiently with a guest.

Zhong Tiyun walked around the small store and saw that everything was neatly arranged and exceptionally clean. She nodded continuously and whispered in Zhou Shuwan's ear, "When you said you wanted to hire someone to help look after the store, I thought it was unreliable. With so many supplies, what would we do if someone with no background came and took them all? But I didn't expect this Zhao Lijuan to be so good."

Zhou Shuwan felt somewhat helpless: "Mom, you can't judge people by appearances. You opened the hardware store and dealt with so many people. How could you trust her in just one month? We have to wait and see."

Zhou Shuwan didn't deliberately lower his voice.

The footsteps coming in paused noticeably, and then Zhao Lijuan lifted the door curtain and said to them with a smile: "The guests have left. Sister Zhong, Wanwan, it's just right that you are here, let's go over the accounts."

She was only in her 30s, so of course she could read and write, and she kept very clear accounts every day.

Zhong Tiyun reconciles the accounts every two days. She is now the logistics team leader for Meng Mingyue. She reconciles the accounts quickly and accurately. Zhao Lijuan's accounts are very clear and they all match. This is the fundamental reason why she looks at her with admiration.

After checking the bills and finding no problems, Zhong Tiyun said to Zhao Lijuan with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Lijuan. Are you afraid of staying here at night? How about the child's father and I come to the store to keep you company?"

The shop cannot do without people, so Zhao Lijuan has been living in the shop recently.

Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "No, I can do it alone! Sister Zhong, you have elderly people and children at home, so don't worry too much about the store. I can take care of it."

"Thank you so much." Zhong Tiyun was very grateful.

After the two people left, someone else came to exchange supplies.

He was a burly man with a stern look on his face. He wanted to exchange half a moldy biscuit for a second-hand bicycle.

Zhao Lijuan raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile: "Hey, big brother, I'm afraid even mice wouldn't eat your cookies? You want to exchange them for my bicycle?"

The man stiffened his neck and said in a vicious tone, "What? This is my price! Do you want to change it? If not, I'll smash your store!"

As he spoke, he pretended to grab the bicycle parked at the door.

Chen Lijuan's eyes turned cold, and she quickly took action, grabbed the man's wrist and twisted it hard.

She learned some kung fu from Chen Fen's team, and was not afraid of those guests who came to provoke her deliberately.

Moreover, she also knew that the Zhou family had some connections in the base, and as long as there was a reason, the other party would be able to deal with her.

So, she acted without hesitation.

The man let out a scream, covering his wrist and stepping back repeatedly.

The guests around were startled by this sudden change and stepped back to make more space for the two.

Chen Lijuan said coldly, "Not just anyone can run wild in my shop! Get out of here! If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll break your legs!"

Seeing that Zhao Lijuan was not someone to be trifled with, the man ran away dejectedly, covering his wrist.

Seeing this, the onlookers all looked at Chen Lijuan with admiration.

Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun did not walk far, so they naturally saw all of this, and Zhong Tiyun had a better impression of her.

The next time she goes to the store to help, she will bring some frozen cooked food from home, which is a lot for people in the post-apocalyptic world.

"Lijuan, this is the braised chicken feet I made, please try it." Zhong Tiyun handed a braised chicken feet in a fresh-keeping box to Chen Lijuan.

Chen Lijuan was flattered and waved her hands quickly: "Sister Zhong, how can I be so embarrassed? I..."

Zhong Tiyun stuffed the braised chicken feet into her hand and said with a smile, "Take it. They're all homemade and not worth much. It's hard for you to work alone in the store. You should eat some nutrition."

The Zhou family raises chickens on the second-floor terrace. This is no secret. Sometimes they will exchange one or two chickens with their neighbors, so it is normal to give a few braised chicken feet as a gift, and there is no need to worry about exposing the secret of the space.

In addition to food, Zhong Tiyun also gave her some clothes, daily necessities and other things in the store. Chen Lijuan was very grateful. As time went by, the relationship between the two became close.

Perhaps because she was relying on others, she also wanted to please Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, who seemed to have a lot of influence in the Zhou family.

While Zhou Shuwan was helping, she took advantage of the opportunity to bring over a cup of hot water and said, "Wanwan, have some tea. It's freezing cold, drink a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

Zhou Shuwan took the teacup, said "thank you" lightly, then lowered his head to organize the goods on the shelf without even looking at her.

Chen Lijuan encountered setbacks, but she was not discouraged.

She turned to Qi Mingyu again and said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, you should have a cup of tea too."

Qi Mingyu just glanced at her casually without taking the tea, and said in a cold tone: "I'm not thirsty."
