Chapter 82: Binghuo Town (2)
After a brief chat with the shopkeeper, Ye Yuan learned that this town is located in the Saharaka Basin, although it is in the middle of the forest, there is no river, and the tap water system is not connected to the town, and the town's water is all from the town's three wells and transported from outside. The government has also increased its water tax to increase revenue and transport more water to the town.
Knowing the preciousness of water resources, Ye Yuan wondered, "Then if I want to buy a batch of bottled water, can't I buy it in the store?" ”
"It depends on how much you buy." The shopkeeper laughed.
"Sixty liters." Looking at the smiling shopkeeper, Ye Yuan skillfully handed over a large bill. "Trouble boss to help."
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and looked at the immature face of the girl in front of him, but he seemed to be very old-fashioned. After collecting the money, he said softly, "Count yourself lucky, I have a batch of goods here that have just come in, I can count you cheaper, come with me." ”
"Okay."
The shopkeeper took Ye Yuan to the back kitchen, walked through an alley, and came to a dilapidated iron door, opening it and a sour smell came to his nose.
'Host, there are four floors down there. The Awakening System said as it looked at the scans.
'Can you scan the underground now?' Ye Yuan said in surprise.
Although the restrictions in the copy are so great that the nanobots can't be activated, the scanning function still lifts some restrictions, so you can't absorb energy in vain. The Awakening System said triumphantly.
'Any other information?' ’
'Well, this hasn't been scanned, is it going down?' ’
The shopkeeper felt that no one was following behind him and looked back, and the girl stopped and hesitated, and asked, "Little girl, do you still buy it?" ”
The Awakening System looked at the shopkeeper's appearance, coupled with the dim and uninhabited alley, and suggested, "Host, let's go to the store first and make plans." It feels like it's not that simple. ’
A 20 percent tax is charged on a glass of water, which shows that water resources are controlled very strictly. If I miss this time, I'm afraid I don't know where to get a month's worth of water at once. ’
'But...'
"Buy!" Ye Yuan didn't wait for the awakening system to finish speaking, and said in a deep voice, keeping up with the shopkeeper again. Glancing at the small metal ball that was tightly suspended beside her, Ye Yuan said with relief, "I have been mixed in the Awakening Era for more than four years, and I still have some basic judgments about the good and evil of people. This boss, it is estimated that the goods in his hand are hot, and he is in a hurry to clean them out, so he will not do anything to me. ’
'How do you know?' ’
'A woman's sixth sense! ’
Ye Yuan followed the shopkeeper down two floors, which was supposed to be a slaughterhouse before, and there were many abandoned slaughtering tools on the scene. When passing by the workbench, he quietly collected two long sharp knives that were not completely rusted and threw them into the space. Even if you have a basic judgment, you still have to be on guard.
The shopkeeper stopped at a broken wooden door in front of him and knocked rhythmically.
The door was opened by an old man with a hunched back, looking at the person who came, and gesturing with a gesture that Ye Yuan couldn't understand.
"Pick up the goods." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, the rickety old man glanced at Ye Yuan before letting the two of them in.
It's the old man's bedroom, although it's underground, it's still clean, and the sour smell is much less.
Passed through the two iron gates again, and the loud shouts of people reached Ye Yuan's ears. Looking at the ring surrounded by everyone, two shirtless men were fighting.
I said, "Why is it so deep!" It turns out that there are still black boxers. Ye Yuan looked at the crowd in front of her who was frenzied by the bloody violence in the ring, and frowned.
The man in the yellow pants is dying. The Awakening System said.
Sure enough, I didn't take two steps to see a man in black pants, and a punch hit the head of the man in yellow pants, and he fell directly to the ground. The referee came up and read the seconds, and directly raised the hand of the man in black pants and announced, "Black Panther wins!" Prize: Twenty liters of edible water. ”
Seeing that the man in yellow pants was dying, Ye Yuan retracted her gaze, followed the shopkeeper honestly, and said to the awakening system, "Most of the lives are only two liters of water, is it that water is the key this time?" ’
'Possibly! The Awakening System isn't so sure.
"What's my little sister's name?" The shopkeeper stood at the door of a private room and suddenly turned around and asked Ye Yuan.
"Leaf Pearl." Ye Yuan directly moved out the name used in the last copy, anyway, Concubine Ai will help modify the documents in the copy, she is not afraid of the man in front of her to check it at all. "What's the boss's last name?"
"Don't be surnamed Wang." Boss Wang looked at the girl in front of him, even if he came to such a bloody and dark place, his face did not change, and he couldn't help but praise his eyes in his heart. opened the box door and beckoned to Ye Yuan, "Pearl girl, come in, the goods are here." ”
Stepping into the box, there were no other people sitting inside, and there were four large buckets of bottled water.
'Host, water is fine, there are eighty liters here. ’
Boss Wang skillfully poured two small glasses of water, handed one of them over and said, "Inspect the goods? ”
Knowing that the water was fine, Ye Yuan was not hypocritical, and drank it directly. "Boss Wang, what price are you going to sell?"
"The girl is really a cheerful person, so I'll keep my capital and earn back the money for transportation." Boss Wang said briskly, "Two hundred yuan a liter." ”
"Isn't this..."Ye Yuan looked embarrassed, isn't this after buying water, she is going to live in poverty again?
"Girl, there isn't so much water to sell to you in the mall outside. Even if there is, it's not at this price. ”
"Boss Wang, I'm new here, I really didn't expect the town to be like this, I have the money in hand..."
Seeing that the girl's beautiful peach blossom eyes showed a look of embarrassment, Boss Wang's heart softened a little, "One hundred and eighteen, it can't be less." ”
"Boss, can it be cheaper?"
"Pearl girl, I posted my own book to sell you. If you think about it, a glass of lemonade in my store is more than that. ”
Looking at Boss Wang, who was no longer shaken, Ye Yuan calculated the price and gritted her teeth and said, "Deal." ”
Exchanged 10,000 yuan in cash on the platform again, and Boss Wang asked someone to move three buckets and put them on the cart and seal them all with cardboard boxes. Until the entrance of the alley, Ye Yuan settled the account and pushed the cart away.
Not long after leaving the alley, the awakening system hurriedly said, "Host, there is a tail. ’
'Well, I noticed, it should be the underground boxing house that followed. ’
That Boss Wang went too far, and he still thought that he couldn't get both. ’
'It doesn't have to be sent by Boss Wang, when I just came out of the boxing village, the cart had to pass through the ring. There are so many people that it's understandable that others have noticed. ’
A little girl, pushing precious water resources, is a good target for robbery no matter how you look at it.
Ye Yuan borrowed the glass of the shop on the road, observed the people who came up and said, "Find a quiet place, put the things first, and then clean up the tail by the way." ’
