Apocalyptic Disaster: I Hoard Billions in Supplies and Kill the Saint

26: Chapter 26 Hoarding at the Farmers’ Market 2”We do. We have all kinds of brands.”

Ye Nanxing glanced over them and said directly, ”I’ll take 500 boxes of each.”

The old man smiled and calculated the price: Total: 506,000 yuan.

The old woman said with a smile, ”Young lady, let’s call it 500,000. We’ll knock off 6,000. We’ve never seen anyone buy so much before.”

Ye Nanxing chuckled, ”Then thank you very much.”

In the end, Ye Nanxing’s order cost a total of 2.907 million yuan.

The elderly couple was too stunned to speak. The old man simply patted Ye Nanxing on the shoulder and laughed heartily, ”Young lady, you really have guts! If you need to buy grain in the future, come straight to us!”

The old woman was full of emotion, ”People these days are too restless. There are very few who can stockpile supplies as steadily as you, young lady.”

Ye Nanxing smiled slightly and said indifferently, ”Good things are worth stockpiling.”

A few hours later, all the supplies were delivered to the warehouse. Ye Nanxing confirmed that there was no one around, took a deep breath, and with a thought— ”Store!”

Hum—! Hundreds of tons of supplies vanished instantly, collected into her space!

She closed her eyes, feeling the changes in the space, and felt immensely satisfied.

The vegetable section of the Hanhai Agricultural Market was a scene of bustling activity.

Unlike the wholesale market for grains, oils, and dry goods, agricultural products from all over the country were transported here every morning, supplying wet markets, supermarkets, and restaurants throughout South City and even several surrounding cities.

Ye Nanxing knew that one of the biggest shortages after the Apocalypse would be fresh vegetables and sources of vitamins.

Even though her space could be used for farming, she still needed to stockpile enough vegetables at the beginning to cope with the possible ”initial chaotic period”!

”Young lady, how much do you want to buy?” In the vegetable wholesale area, a middle-aged vendor in his forties looked at Ye Nanxing with a puzzled smile.

These days, most people who came here to buy vegetables were purchasing agents for restaurants or supermarkets. It was rare to see someone like Ye Nanxing come alone.

Ye Nanxing smiled faintly, ”For all root vegetables, I’ll take 10 tons of each to start.”

The middle-aged vendor’s pupils constricted, and his voice changed, ”...10 tons?!”

”We have potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, ginger, and yams.” The middle-aged vendor swallowed hard and continued, ”Are you sure you want 10 tons of each?”

Ye Nanxing nodded, then suddenly changed her tone, ”Wait, no.”

The middle-aged vendor looked at Ye Nanxing’s expression and calmed down internally. Just as expected, it was just a young girl talking big without any substance.

However, before the middle-aged vendor could continue, Ye Nanxing seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, ”I’ll take 20 tons each of potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions, and 10 tons each of the rest.”

”Do you have them in stock?”

The middle-aged vendor stuttered, ”We have them... but young lady, you’re buying so much by yourself, will you have anywhere to put it?”

Ye Nanxing smiled slightly, ”I have my own arrangements.”

The middle-aged vendor didn’t ask any more questions. After all, with the money in hand, who cared how much someone else was stockpiling?

This cost a total of 415,000 yuan, and the boss knocked off the 5,000 yuan remainder.

”Young lady, we can load up what you want today, and it will be delivered first thing tomorrow morning.”

Ye Nanxing nodded slightly, ”Fine, I’ll send you the delivery address in a moment.”

After sorting out the root vegetables, Ye Nanxing walked to another stall specializing in leafy vegetables and melons/fruits.

The selection here was even richer, with the shelves neatly stocked with: tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, winter melons, pumpkins, cabbage, lettuce, celery, eggplants, chili peppers...

”Young lady, what would you like?” This time, she was greeted by a female boss in her thirties, who was quick and had shrewd eyes.

Ye Nanxing glanced over and said directly, ”I’ll take 5,000 jin of every vegetable you have, and 5 tons of every melon and fruit variety to start.”

The female boss’s eyelids twitched violently, ”Young lady, does your family run a large restaurant?”

Ye Nanxing smiled faintly, ”No, it’s for the orphanage.”

The female boss realized, and then readily agreed, ”Fine! Since you want so much, I’ll definitely give you the lowest price.”

”Young lady, since you’re so generous, I’ll give you a discount. The total will be 150,000 yuan, and I’ll throw in 100 jin of chives.”

Ye Nanxing smiled, ”Good, deliver it first thing tomorrow morning.”

After purchasing the vegetables, Ye Nanxing headed straight to the cold storage area of the market.

This was the largest frozen goods trading center in all of South City, where large quantities of beef, lamb, pork, and chicken were transported in and out every day, supplying major hotels, supermarkets, and chain restaurants.

At the entrance of the cold storage, several workers wearing heavy cotton coats were pushing frozen meat, forklifts were shuttling back and forth, and the air was filled with cold air and a faint smell of blood.

She walked up to the largest frozen meat wholesale shop. As soon as she entered, she saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting behind the counter, discussing shipments with his subordinates.

Hearing someone come in, he didn’t even look up as he asked, ”Buying frozen meat? Wholesale or retail?”

Ye Nanxing said calmly, ”Wholesale. Beef, lamb, chicken, pork, 20 tons of each.”

”Clang—” The calculator in the chubby boss’s hand almost fell to the floor! ”You, you said how much?!”

Ye Nanxing’s expression didn’t change, ”20 tons of each.”

The chubby boss looked up sharply, staring at her with shock in his eyes. These days, restaurant purchasing agents would buy at most five or six hundred jin at a time, and even the biggest supermarkets wouldn’t buy over a hundred tons of frozen meat in one go. It was his first time seeing such a big spender!

”Young lady, are you sure?” the chubby boss couldn’t help but ask. ”Are you planning to open a chain of restaurants?”

Ye Nanxing said casually, ”It’s for the orphanage’s reserves.”

The chubby boss swallowed, then became excited and immediately quoted the price, ”Young lady, our frozen meat is export-grade. The price will be a bit higher, but you can rest assured about the quality.”

After the final calculation, the total came to 31.2 million yuan. The chubby boss’s hands were shaking as he confirmed again, ”Young lady, do you really want it?”

Ye Nanxing nodded and then scanned the code to pay, ”Deliver it first thing tomorrow morning.”

The chubby boss was instantly beaming, ”Young lady, just wait, I’ll arrange the cold chain trucks right now!”

After the chubby boss excitedly finalized the transaction, he suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, ”Young lady, is this for long-term storage or short-term use?”

Ye Nanxing raised an eyebrow, ”What’s the difference?”

The chubby boss lowered his voice, ”To be honest, although frozen meat has a long shelf life, its taste and freshness definitely can’t compare to freshly slaughtered meat. If you need good, fresh meat, I can introduce you to the city’s largest slaughterhouse. I guarantee the source is first-hand, slaughtered on-site, and of higher quality than what’s in the cold storage!”

Ye Nanxing’s eyes flickered. Of course, she preferred fresh meat. After all, the refrigeration effect in her space far exceeded reality; fresh ingredients placed inside could retain their original flavor, unlike frozen meat that would become dry and fibrous. She asked in an unchanged tone, ”Where is the slaughterhouse?”
