Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Not Convinced

"Song Yi, what is that laboratory for?"

"I’m not very clear about it myself, but I will ask around these next couple of days.

Also, Jhiang Yuan, after work, make sure you come back early and definitely do not go out.

We are close to the Qinling mountain, and there are many wild animals..."

"I know, don’t worry."

Thinking about that pack of wolves from last time still gives me the creeps.

I won’t go out, absolutely not.

And since he said this, I guess Qin Yue will still have to work.

Taking a day or two off is okay.

Xiao Nuan can’t possibly be home alone with so many dodgy people around, who knows which one might be a pervert.

The next day at noon, Ye Mianmian and Fan Qing came looking for her.

"It’s just past one, it’s a bit too early to start work, isn’t it?"

In fact, they were waiting for Jiang Xingzhi to come back and eat together; they had just lain down.

"Sister Yuan, there’s nothing at home, it’s very inconvenient.

We want to buy a thermos, come with us."

Well, that’s indeed the case.

"Alright, just wait for me."

Jhiang Yuan went back to get dressed, then followed the two out.

This store is in the southern part of the village.

After going there, it’s also convenient to go to the greenhouse.

Yesterday, Song Yi had shown her a map, and it seemed that the greenhouse should be outside the fence.

Logically, things like food should best be kept within one’s own secure area, I don’t know what they are thinking.

The only explanation is that building walls is too wasteful of manpower and resources.

After all, those few greenhouses cover a not-so-small area.

And later, there might be even more.

The few people didn’t dare to chat, although there was no explicit order to rest inside the houses.

Basically, there were no people on the road, excluding the patrol team.

Finally, they reached the place, which was a very inconspicuous storefront.

It didn’t even have a signboard and was normally inaccessible.

Whatever you needed, you had to wait at a small window, where a staff member would fetch it for you.

In times of scarcity, there was no helping it.

Meanwhile, this was also why they chose to come at noon.

If it were evening, there would probably be a long queue.

Right now, the small window was closed, probably taking a break.

Jhiang Yuan took a special look but there was no sign indicating working hours.

Just as she was wondering whether to disturb them or not, Ye Mianmian actually knocked on the glass.

The "thud, thud, thud" sound was quite jarring in the quiet environment.

Seeing Jhiang Yuan look over, she seemed at a loss.

"Sister Yuan, what’s wrong, shouldn’t I have knocked?"

Theoretically yes, since Song Yi had told her to be extra careful.

Before she could speak, the window was pulled open from inside.

They unconsciously stepped back and watched intently.

"What do you want?"

The speaker was also a woman, her tone slightly impatient.

"Um, we wanted a thermos, no no no, three of them, do you have any?"

Ye Mianmian was somewhat frightened and garbled her words.

"Snap!"

The small window was pulled shut, the three of them looked at each other, confused by the reaction.

"Snap..."

The small window reopened, just a minute later.

"One hundred each, three hundred total..."

She had three thermoses in her hand but didn’t hand them over; it was clear she wanted the money first.

"Ah, that’s so expensive!"

Fan Qing muttered softly, and she happened to hear it.

"What do you mean, if you can’t afford it then don’t waste my time. Are you buying it or not?"

"Yes, we will take it..."

Without it, it really was inconvenient, so Jhiang Yuan quickly handed over the money.

The two people behind her also hastily took out their wallets.

Once the transaction was complete, the person slammed the small window shut with a "snap".

It sounded like he locked it with a couple of clicks.

"Why is this person like this?"

"Stop talking about it, we have ruined what they had going on."

Indeed, since they had arrived, everyone they met had been nice.

This one was an exception.

"What was going on, Sister Yuan, did you see something?"

She had been at the front, even though the window was small.

But when she went to take the thermos, she really did see something she shouldn’t have.

However, these were just her guesses, she couldn’t say them out loud.

"Grown-ups’ business is not for children to inquire about..."

"Uh!"

Ye Mianmian understood instantly, what else could it be?

This bad attitude, aside from being angry, was mostly out of guilt.

"However, this is too expensive, a thermos costing one hundred yuan.

In the past, it was only about twenty or thirty yuan."

Jhiang Yuan sighed deeply, it really was expensive, but there was no choice.

"This thing is meant for long-term use, and besides, it’s probably limited in quantity. Her selling it for a bit more is normal."

Even so, she had some other thoughts in her mind.

This group of people wants to get the currency circulating, so there needs to be buying and selling.

The medium in between, is the product.

If the quantity is small, they must sell it at a high price.

If the quantity is large, it probably isn’t cheap either.

Eating isn’t very expensive, mainly because it involves the national economy and people’s livelihoods.

I always feel that the people in power here are extraordinary, making it hard to guess what they are up to.

This urgent collection of currency, could it be that there is something...

"Right!"

Jhiang Yuan suddenly got excited, causing the other two to jump.

"What’s wrong, Sister Yuan, did you figure something out?"

"Ah, no, oh, I was thinking, walking around with this thermos is a bit conspicuous.

Let’s find a place later on to hide the thing."

"Right, it is a bit conspicuous."

The women in this greenhouse also had their competitions.

Sister Zuo had now become familiar and was thinking about making good relationships with everyone.

Moreover, this morning, the way she looked at Sister Ying was particularly unpleasant.

It was that kind of contemptuous look, even with a slight sneer.

Jhiang Yuan did not know why she had changed so much, nor did she dare to ask more, mainly because it was unnecessary.

Having agreed, when they reached the front of the greenhouse, she took all three thermoses over.

"Sister Yuan, I’ll come with you."

"No need, you and Qingqing stay here to keep watch. Make sure to alert me if someone comes."

"Okay, you can count on me."

While they said they were hiding it, they actually just put it into the space.

Once that was done, she called the two others to hurry inside.

This afternoon was all about planting sweet potato sprouts, not very complicated, but indeed tiring.

"Damn, not even a single break, this is just like Huang Shiren."

Sister Zuo suddenly cursed, then sat down on the ridges.

Sister Ying saw it, came over, her face all serious.

"Hurry up, get back to work."

Sister Zuo wasn’t going to take it lying down, initially she was flattering, but now she was completely annoyed.

"Why are you always walking around, not doing any work at all, why is that!"
