In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

An hour later, Hongtang met Uncle He.

Uncle He was even more straightforward. He bought rice with the husk on for 1.5 yuan per jin (1 catties), and gathered 10 jin from several villagers. He harvested all the red rice; the husks could be used to feed livestock, and they also produced some broken rice, perfect for feeding chickens, ducks, and geese.

As for pumping water, Uncle He said it was free, as the water was all groundwater with no cost, and the electricity cost for pumping was minimal.

But Hongtang needed to pump water from 1000 water towers, and how could she possibly take advantage of such a cheap deal? So, through a combination of coaxing and persuasion, they finally reached a deal for 100 yuan per water tower, with the price including pumping and transportation costs.

However, Hongtang only traded 300 units with Uncle He. For the remaining 700 units, she found villagers in two other towns to divert their attention. The agreed-upon water delivery times for the three towns were staggered.

May Day is a concentrated irrigation period for rice, so a large amount of water use is normal. And it's not like one household gets a contract and only one electric well pumps water continuously; usually several households pump and deliver water together, sharing the profits. Although it's not a huge sum, it fosters mutual help among villagers, ensuring they can support each other in case of future problems.

So for the next month, Hongtang wandered between the warehouse and the suburbs, either collecting goods or inspecting some shops.

She no longer wanted to order daily necessities one by one; she wanted to acquire a supermarket with a complete range of products, preferably one that was going out of business and was being sold off, so that the costs would be lower.

During this period, we also talked to several supermarkets, but either we couldn't agree on the price or the supermarkets didn't have a complete range of products.

Seven days later, she finally found a special supermarket.

This is a medium-sized discount supermarket located in a huge housing development on the outskirts of the city. What attracted her was the bright red banner on the supermarket's entrance.

"Warmly celebrate the successful human migration to another planet! Enjoy a 7% discount on all items in the store, all categories available."

What a shrewd businessman! He could have leveraged this opportunity, but it seems the results weren't great.

When Hongtang entered the supermarket, she found that there weren't many shoppers. Perhaps it was because of the hot weather that people didn't want to move around.

After walking around twice, Hongtang was very satisfied with the supermarket; the selection was indeed comprehensive. The supermarket had two floors, totaling about 3000 square meters, and covered categories including toiletries, fresh fruits and vegetables, daily necessities, snacks, household goods, alcoholic beverages and condiments, stationery, and some small appliances.

The brands are all mainstream and affordable, many are domestic brands, and offer great value for money. It seems the shop owner is patriotic.

Hongtang called over a shop assistant, saying she wanted the owner's phone number because she wanted to buy a large quantity of goods from the supermarket.

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant immediately took it seriously, went out for a while, and quickly returned, taking Hongtang to an office.

It turned out that the boss was taking inventory in the warehouse. Upon hearing the employee's report, he invited the person in to chat, regardless of whether it was true or not.

After some introduction, it turned out that the boss had a son who was in the military and had made many contributions while on a mission abroad. He was among the first batch of people allowed to settle on the alien planet Blue Planet and was allowed to bring one family member with him according to regulations.

The father and son depended on each other for survival. The son was going to another planet, and the father, having this rare opportunity, naturally wanted to go with him. Therefore, he needed to clear out the stock at this supermarket. The space was rented, and the lease had two months remaining.

If Hongtang really wants to take over the inventory, the price is negotiable.

The shop owner spoke with obvious pride and joy, his face beaming with a smile, his happiness impossible to conceal. This story must be true.

Emma, ​​Hongtang had always thought that landing on an alien planet was something very far away for her, but unexpectedly, there was someone in front of her who was about to go to an alien planet, and her heart began to race.

She immediately agreed, and with a wave of her hand, she said she wanted all the goods here!

The main reason is that the price is too attractive, only 400 million.

Hongtang said she wanted to increase the quantity of goods, and the shop owner readily agreed.

Taking the inventory list from the shop owner, Hongtang marked it up, adding items such as salt, oil, sugar, and seasonings, as well as daily necessities like paper products and toiletries, disposable items, liquor, white vinegar, eggs, high-calorie foods (chocolate, energy bars, etc.), side dishes, ice cream, popsicles, and nearly 50 other categories. In the end, she added about 400 million units of goods.

The total stock is enough for Hongtang to use for at least 150 years. But if she were to buy these herself, she definitely wouldn't be able to get such a low unit price.

The shop owner quickly had his secretary compile the revised list and give it to Hongtang for confirmation.

"Ms. Tang, here is the list you requested. Please see if there are any parts that need adjustment."

The densely packed 20-plus pages were enough to give anyone a headache. Hongtang only confirmed the most essential few dozen items before nodding and signing, along with the contract. As for the rest, she could raise, grow, and process most of them herself.

"That's settled then. The staff here can leave tonight, and I'll arrange for someone to come and move the goods. As for the additional 400 million worth of goods, please have them all ready in 7 days. They can all be placed on the first floor of the supermarket. The first floor will be cleared out by then. I will move all the goods out within half a month, so it won't affect your lease termination."

“Ms. Tang, you’re very helpful. I’ll have my staff clear the store right away, and I’ll leave you a copy of the supermarket key. But seven days is a bit tight. I can complete the stocking in two batches over ten days.”

"Okay, I'll pay you 300 million first, and the remaining 500 million will be paid in installments according to the arrival of the goods."

"Ok, no problem."

Holding the set of keys given to her by the shop owner, Hongtang hurriedly left. A shipment of water had arrived at the wastewater treatment plant warehouse, and she needed to go and collect it.

Busy as ever, Hongtang was still asleep the next morning when the phone rang and woke her up. It was Li Rui from the administration department.

"Sister Tang, your annual leave has already lasted two days. Aren't you coming to work today? Do you need me to ask for more personal leave for you?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very sweet, which soothed some of Hong Tang's morning grumpiness.

Oh, you're addicted to shopping, you've completely forgotten you even have a job.

"Hehe, Li Rui, I have some family matters to attend to recently and can't get away. Thank you for helping me ask for leave earlier, but I need to ask for more leave. I won't be able to go to work this month."

I'll finish receiving all these goods just before the end of the month, so I might as well take a month off.

"Oh, does it take that long? Taking a month's leave requires going through the proper procedures. Sister Tang, you should call Manager Tang Li yourself, but I'm afraid she won't agree. She's furious because you haven't been to work these past two days."

After a pause, Li Rui whispered a reminder, "She values ​​the Beishan villa project you're working on a lot, so be careful not to let her steal the deal."

"Okay, I'll go through the process in a bit. Thanks for reminding me, my darling Li Rui, I love you so much, I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."

After Hongtang made a call to ask for leave, she ignored the crazy manager Tang Li and continued to collect goods.
