Chapter 434 Agreement with Boss Zhang
Anjiu agreed, "I can go to the small supermarket downstairs and rent a few shovels."
Having the right tools can definitely make things easier.
The opportunity to obtain food is too rare in the hive. Even though she has a lot of supplies in the space now, she should not miss such an opportunity.
Besides, grandma is very tempted.
She really wanted to get some food for the family with her own hands.
This is a different sense of accomplishment from doing business and earning contribution points.
Anjiu understands grandma's thoughts very well and only encourages her instead of rejecting her. This way, grandma will become more confident and energetic.
At this time, A Ling hesitated and said, "Xiao Jiu, I think we can dig it with a furnace hook. Why don't you rent it and don't have to consider me."
Several grandmothers also quickly said that they didn't need shovels.
"It's just a little effort. We haven't done anything all winter and we're just feeling frustrated and have no place to put our effort. Haha!"
Anjiu then realized that everyone was short of money and had no contribution worth renting.
She readily agreed, "As long as it's useful, there's no need to spend this much money."
"Of course not. I told you that Xiaojiu is a good kid who knows how to live!"
"Sweet Potato Yang, you are so blessed. We can't even envy you for that!"
Grandma was so teased that she just smiled happily and said nothing.
Since we had to get up early the next day, we chatted for a while and then got up and went home.
Anjiu said hello to his grandmother, put on his down jacket and took the elevator to the 28th floor.
The sign at the door of the Cailutong store was lit up by a circle of small colored lights. Through the glass, one could see Boss Zhang sitting behind the counter, his chin propped up by his hand, looking drowsy.
——It’s almost like this every time I come.
Anjiu pushed the door open and the wind chimes hanging behind the door made a crisp tinkling sound.
"Welcome, take your pick and look at whatever you like, buy it if you like it. Life is hard anyway, there's no need to mistreat yourself."
Boss Zhang closed his eyes and spoke skillfully.
An Jiu walked straight to the cashier counter and said, "Boss Zhang, let's talk about a small business."
He opened one eye and looked, then opened the other eye, then sat up straight, "Not bad, not bad, tell me in detail."
"Rent five shovels."
"Rent? Although I usually sell...renting is fine! But first, I have to collect a deposit."
An Jiu said quietly, "It's because I can't afford to buy it that I want to rent it. How much does it cost to rent it?"
"You don't look like it with the clothes you're wearing. Don't worry, it's not expensive. I'll give it to you at a lower price. This amount is fine." Boss Zhang smiled and held out five fingers.
"Fifty contribution points? Plus the deposit? Deal."
A shovel doesn't even cost ten contribution points, which is really not expensive, and the wear and tear is not taken into account, which makes Anjiu's prepared excuses useless.
Boss Zhang was even more stunned than her, "I didn't say——"
Seeing that he was about to go back on his word, An Jiu quickly stopped him from saying, "Can you get some mineral water that's cheaper than the supermarket? If the price is right, I'll buy one thousand contribution points."
"Of course I can do that!" Boss Zhang was completely excited. "Are you sure you want to?"
"Well, there are so many people, and they drink fast. If yours is cheaper, I won't buy from the supermarket. Of course, the premise is that the goods are good and the price is favorable. Otherwise, I would rather go to a large supermarket to buy."
"Don't worry! They are all from the same source! If you want more, I can give you a discount!"
Boss Zhang rarely comes across a big deal, so how could he let the contribution points go away?
He immediately walked out of the cashier counter, took Anjiu and looked at the water, "Do you want this kind?"
An Jiu pretended to recall for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, this is the brand. Is it in stock now?"
"Not many. There are only two in the store right now. You know, winter has just passed and people are not spending much. I don't dare to buy too much. If you are sure you want it, I will arrange for it right away."
Boss Zhang was really afraid that this deal would fall through, so he added, "Well, if you're sure you want goods worth one thousand, once you pay the balance, you can waive the shovel rental fee today!"
Anjiu: "It's not necessary to give it for free, just give me some water."
The rent is only fifty, and the value of water is higher than that. Moreover, on the one hand, there is virtual currency that is being spent in a hurry, and on the other hand, there are resources that are being stockpiled. It is easy to judge which is more important.
Boss Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! These are just small matters. I'll give it to you!"
The two discussed the price again and agreed to come and pick up part of the goods in three days.
After Anjiu paid 120 contribution points, he went home carrying five shovels and two buckets of water.
Grandma had already prepared the meal. When she heard her footsteps, she immediately opened the door and asked, "Why did you buy so much?"
"Not much, all rented." Anjiu avoided grandma's hand and put the shovel into the small kitchen.
The meal has just been cooked here and the house smells delicious.
Although the sun is shining brightly today, the snow outside has melted and the perceived temperature still feels colder than on a snowy day.
It would be a real pleasure to have a hot meal and then sit by the fire.
Anjiu washed his hands, sat at the table, and picked up his bowl to eat.
Grandma picked up some meat for her and asked, "Is it expensive?"
"It's not expensive, only fifty, and it includes the deposit," An Jiu calculated, "If I dig more tomorrow, this contribution value will be worth it."
Even if you can only dig up a shopping bag, its value is far more than fifty contribution points.
After grandma figured it out, she stopped worrying about the contribution value. She put down her chopsticks and prepared to find a few more sturdy bags to pack the fruits in tomorrow.
Anjiu never interferes in such trivial matters so that his grandmother would have something to do and avoid becoming depressed because she thought she had contributed too little to the family.
After washing the dishes, she did some simple exercises, and after her grandmother packed out the clothes for tomorrow, they both went to bed early.
Even though there is no clock at home, I can always get up at the most appropriate time.
"Just lie down in the quilt for a while, and wait until grandma lights the stove and the house is warm before coming out."
The grandmother loved her precious granddaughter so much that she would get up early and light a fire just to prevent her granddaughter from freezing.
An Jiu was already half asleep, and upon hearing that, he buried his face in the warm quilt, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
When the room got warmer, her grandmother woke her up.
"We may have to go all day today, so eat more. I'll prepare some dry food for you to carry on your back later, so you'll have something to eat when you get there."
Grandma asked her to eat first while she was busy kneading the dough to make pancakes.
"Put some more sugar in it, it will taste good."
Moreover, the sugar biscuits can quickly replenish energy and taste good.
Anjiu took out a thermos bucket and a large thermos cup from the space, one to put the cakes in and the other to fill with hot water.
After eating, she took over her grandmother's job of making pancakes so that her grandmother could eat quickly.
At 5:45, A-Ling and her friends' voices came from outside the door: "Aunt, are you and Xiaojiu ready? The time is almost up, let's go and line up early."
