Plane Supermarket

Chapter 187

Since the opening of the small supermarket, Ye Zhou has not been there twice. He spends almost all of his time on Xiao Zou Ming, and the rest of the time is given to Zhao Qing's group of top people in the base. Although he doesn't go to the supermarket very much, Ye Zhou is still very busy. Not a single gap.

Just as he thought before, Zhao Qing found Ye Zhou again on the third day after the banquet.

And this time he didn't come alone, but with Zhao Lei.

When Ye Zhou opened the door and saw Zhao Qing and Zhao Lei, he was speechless for a moment, but he politely asked them to come in and sit down.

It happened that there were only him and Sarah in the "home" at this time, Zou Ming went out again, and Cao'er had to go to work.

"You don't need to change your shoes." Ye Zhou said to the two people who bent over to take off their shoes after entering.

He'd rather clean up after they're gone than smell his feet.

It was the first time for Zhao Qing to enter Ye Zhou's residence. Although he knew that Ye Zhou had spent a lot of money to renovate the house, he was still shocked when he first came in. Not only because of the air conditioning and decoration, but more importantly, the placement of There are many green plants.

Even in the richest bases, the transformed soil will be used to grow food instead of green plants.

Such a few green plants just look good, without any practical value, and the price is ridiculously expensive. The most extravagant base rulers can use ice and water at will, but they will not use improved soil at will.

"Sit down, I'll get you some water." Ye Zhou took them to the living room. Sarah, who was sitting on the sofa watching cartoons, turned off the projector, and after looking at Zhao Qing and Zhao Lei, Sarah said , "Boss, let me go."

Ye Zhou didn't refuse, but he didn't treat Sarah as a real child just because of her appearance.

On the other hand, Zhao Qing gave Ye Zhou a strange look - he thought Ye Zhou didn't need to let the "children" work.

But Zhao Qing quickly figured it out, if Ye Zhou was a completely good person, he probably wouldn't have such a family background.

Maybe Ye Zhou has done more vicious things than him before.

Only those with capital can afford such a heavy "kindness".

Zhao Lei didn't speak the whole time, but his face was not very good-looking, and his eyes were always on the decoration of the house.

"I brought him here this time to apologize to you." Zhao Qing looked at Ye Zhou sincerely, "He has a bad temper and is straight, but he is not bad."

Zhao Qing glanced at Zhao Lei: "This time he is mainly here to buy something."

Ye Zhou took the water glass from Sarah. Sarah didn't make tea, she only brought three cups of plain water, but Zhao Qing and Zhao Lei didn't feel that they were underestimated. Chong Yezhou said: "I need water."

"Our previous agreement was not to sell water to anyone other than you." Ye Zhou looked at Zhao Qing. He knew what Zhao Qing was going to do, but he didn't resist making things difficult for Zhao Qing. "I'll sell water to him. Are you breaking the contract or am I breaking the contract?"

Ye Zhou said with a smile, "Why don't you buy water from me and share it or sell it to him? It's neither a breach of the contract nor troublesome."

Zhao Qing still smiled: "I won't be able to stay in the base all the time in the future, I still have to go out occasionally. When I'm not around, Zhao Lei will take over the affairs of the base. It's better for the two of you to contact directly than to go through me every time."

Ye Zhou raised his eyebrows, smiled and looked at Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing also smiled.

They seem to have reached some kind of consensus in just a few seconds.

Only Zhao Lei didn't realize it. He looked irritable, but he suppressed his impatience and put down the water glass after Zhao Qing and Ye Zhou finished talking.

But he didn't prepare to speak the whole time, but let Zhao Qing be his "spokesperson".

Ye Zhou didn't even know if he was lazy or simply low in IQ.

"How much?" Ye Zhou asked Zhao Lei, "Now it can only be sold by case, 24 bottles per case."

Zhao Lei finally said after a few seconds of silence: "One thousand boxes."

Ye Zhou: "Okay, get the money ready."

Ye Zhou smiled, but his eyes were very serious: "If the money is not in place, the goods will not be in place."

Zhao Lei nodded absently.

This huge deal in this era has been agreed so simply.

After the business is done, there is nothing left to talk about.

Ye Zhou sent the two of them out.

But not long after they left, Zhao Qing came back alone and knocked on Ye Zhou's door.

This time Ye Zhou asked Sarah to go back to the room, and talked with Zhao Qing himself.

Zhao Qing leaned on the sofa without paying attention to his image, crossed his legs and said, "Did you see it?"

Ye Zhou didn't respond.

Zhao Qing didn't care whether Ye Zhou spoke, but continued: "He has always been like this, ready to challenge me and squeeze me down. You see, people are like this. When it was the most difficult time before, he was the one who saved me from the pile of dead people." Dig it out and carry me back."

"But now, as long as you give him a chance, he will shoot me without hesitation."

"How can there be eternal friends?" Zhao Qing said with a smile, "There are only eternal interests."

Ye Zhou said noncommittally: "I don't care about your personal affairs, and you don't need to tell me about your base. I will deal with whoever does business with me."

Zhao Qing didn't follow Ye Zhou's words, but changed the subject instead: "The people in the base are doing well recently. I heard that there is water in one of the things you sell in your store? That's not good."

"Really?" Ye Zhou pretended to be stupid, "Why don't I know?"

"There are too many goods in the supermarket, I can't know everything." Ye Zhou, "If you find out what it is, tell me, and I won't sell it."

Zhao Qing sighed: "I'm not a cruel person. I don't want you to sell water because I'm selfish. You don't know how the people in the base lived before I took over the base. Many people died every day. The Fang forces will fight whenever they have the opportunity, and no one will obey the other."

"If you let those people in the slums eat enough and have water to drink, they will have other thoughts."

Zhao Qing: "Everyone wants to live well, but if everyone lives well, the base will not be stable."

"At that time, there will be conflicts and fights. It must be that the bottom people will die a lot. They don't even have weapons, and many of them haven't even killed anyone. Now they are living a bit bitterly, but they have a place to live, and they can Can't die of hunger."

Zhao Qing glanced at Ye Zhou and hinted: "Sometimes you are kind, but what you do is not necessarily a good thing."

Ye Zhou raised his head: "I understand what you mean, I'm not interested in controlling the situation of your base, as long as you give me enough money, I can leave immediately."

"I don't have many employees." Ye Zhou restrained his smile, "I know what to do."

"After all, it's not good for me to change the boss. Who knows if the next boss will have a good brain, knowing that it will be more beneficial for me not to do something?"

This secret compliment made Zhao Qing laugh: "Yes, yes, this group of people can only see the immediate benefits, and they don't think about the long-term at all. If they could think about the long-term, they wouldn't be beaten like dogs before."

"That's right." Ye Zhou said suddenly, "I want to build a staff dormitory on the vacant lot of the supermarket."

Zhao Qing: "This is up to you."

Ye Zhou: "I will also hire some temporary workers in the slums, but the current manpower is barely enough. Whether you can hire them or not depends on you."

Zhao Qing asked seemingly unintentionally: "What about Zhao Lei..."

Ye Zhou: "It depends on what you mean, anyway, I don't want the base to change to a boss."

The two looked at each other, both smiled, and each got what they wanted.

This time Zhao Qingcai really left here and returned to the RV.

The RV where Zhao Qing lived was parked under the building. Since he moved down, no one was allowed to live upstairs. Those followers of Zhao Qing who originally lived on the ground floor had to move to other buildings.

Except for necessary activities, Zhao Qing will not leave the RV at all.

Because there is no need to drive, the power of the RV can be provided by the solar panels on the roof.

With the existence of an induction cooker, there is no need to light a fire for cooking. There are still beer and ice cream bought from Ye Zhou in the small refrigerator. There are also a variety of food. After being the boss for so many years, Zhao Qing feels that he is enjoying it now Boss treatment.

Zhao Qing walked into the caravan, closed the door, took off his clothes, and sat on a chair with the air conditioner blowing on.

The woman quickly took out the beer from the refrigerator, brought it to Zhao Qing, and looked at Zhao Qing's expression.

After confirming that Zhao Qing was in a good mood, the woman said cautiously, "Boss, my parents..."

Zhao Qing glanced at the woman, and remembered that he had promised her casually, and he was not going to honor it, but he just dug a hole for Zhao Lei and developed Ye Zhou into his ally, so he said casually: " Well, I'll have someone prepare a house for them."

The woman smiled, and immediately leaned over to beat Zhao Qing's arms and shoulders.

As soon as she lowered her head, she could see Zhao Qing's neck.

For a moment, she wanted to just bite down.

But she quickly looked away and concentrated on massaging Zhao Qing.

·

"Build a staff dormitory?" Zhou Yuanhe immediately cheered a little when he got the news, "Can it be a single dormitory?"

He recently lived with a female employee, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. Every time he came out of the room, he had to dress neatly, which was really painful for a lazy person.

Only a few people came to this meeting, and they were all people who knew Ye Zhou's identity. In front of them, Ye Zhou didn't need to put on a show, and he didn't have to worry about the collapse of the persona he had worked so hard to build up before.

"No, this time it will be a collective dormitory." Ye Zhou said, "Family is the unit."

Chen Shu didn't think it was necessary: ​​"We can't hire so many temporary workers."

"It's not very useful even if it's built."

Ye Zhou waited for them to finish talking before saying, "It's not for the business of the supermarket."

Chen Shu understood immediately, but she was not very hopeful: "Boss, Zou Ming is still young, even if you give him a hand, he won't be able to control him."

"Even if we wait for him to leave at seventeen or eighteen, it's still too young."

Zhou Yuanhe nodded beside him.

Ye Zhou has already made up his mind: "I have confidence in Zou Ming's ability."

"It's dangerous to only leave supplies for him, and not give him hands."

Chen Shu and Zhou Yuanhe looked at each other, and they both knew that Ye Zhou's mind could not be changed. After all, they were employees, the boss had made a decision, and the employees couldn't do anything other than raise their opinions.

"It's just a matter of providing some jobs to go out." Ye Zhou smiled.

He wanted to pull a tiger skin on Zou Ming and arm Zou Ming fully. At least when Zou Ming was still weak, this tiger skin could protect him.

Ye Zhou: "It should be very busy in the future."

Chen Shu stretched his arms, and said indifferently, "I took a rest for a while before, and I don't have much to do recently."

Zhou Yuanhe asked cautiously: "You won't let me treat everyone in the slums? I'm not a machine."

Ye Zhou and Chen Shu looked at Zhou Yuanhe together.

Zhou Yuanhe: "...I knew it."

Anyway, he's either too busy or too busy to work, there's no middle ground.

He wanted to strangle Zou Ming to death right now, but it was Zou Ming who tricked him into coming here, and said that he must be short of life.

Employees also quickly got the message.

The materials for building the staff dormitory had to be transported by Chen Shu from a real supermarket by car.

The staff dormitory, Ye Zhou, is not going to actually build a building. After all, there is no shortage of open space for building houses. One floor is enough, and a maximum of two floors can be built. A few more buildings can be built, but there is no need to build a building with more than two floors.

"I'm in charge of recruiting people?" Chen Shu pointed to his nose, "It's fine, but boss, what should you do when you encounter problems?"

Ye Zhou waved his hand: "And Sarah, if there is no one else, I can do it myself."

Chen Shu couldn't help it: "Then remember to bring more bullets with you."

While Ye Zhou was discussing with Chen Shu, the boy came to the slum again. He went to the supermarket first, greeted Cao'er before walking on the road in the slum with his small backpack on his back.

Although it was daytime, the slums were not as dead and silent as before. There were many people walking around on the side of the road, and some even set up small stalls to sell things not sold in supermarkets. Both buyers and sellers used "money" for transactions.

Because supermarkets sell necessities and everyone needs food, the "money" in supermarkets is so easily recognized, and even truly functions as banknotes.

"How much is this?" The boy stopped in front of a stall selling clothes.

The clothes were tattered, but they were barely wearable, at least covering key areas.

The owner of the stall is an old man with gray hair, but he doesn't look like an old man in figure. It seems that he hasn't sold it for a long time. The old man said not very enthusiastically: "The jacket is ten yuan, and the trousers are twelve."

The boy looked at the espadrilles next to him.

This time the old man was much more enthusiastic: "These shoes are five yuan a pair."

Although it was cheap, the profit was small but the turnover was high. The boy took five dollars out of his pocket and bought a pair of straw sandals that were much larger than his feet—all the shoes here were one-size-fits-all, and there was no difference in size.

Instead of changing the shoes, the boy put them in the backpack.

The old man looked enviously at the boy's clean and complete clothes and the large backpack on his back.

Knocking on the wooden door again, the boy announced his name after hearing a familiar voice.

After the woman opened the door, the boy saw a completely different tin house from the last time he came. After no longer worrying about food and clothing, the woman cleaned the tin house. The lame tables and chairs were replaced with a new set. It still looks crude, but it is a table and chair that is not lame.

"You sit down." The woman warmly greeted the boy to sit down.

Since the tin house was rearranged, the woman seems to have found a little enthusiasm for life.

She now goes to dispose of the garbage in the supermarket during the day and comes back to sleep at night, so she doesn't have to turn black and white anymore. Even though the slums are noisy at night, she can always sleep soundly.

Although there will still be people breaking in, the woman thinks it's no big deal, but it will take some time to clean up every time.

The boy sat down and took water from his bag.

The woman naturally picked up the water bottle and buried it in a corner.

"Zhao Lei is back." The woman said, "He was outside before, and I heard that he robbed several small bases."

The woman said to herself: "But I haven't come here yet. I heard from other people that Zhao Lei has something to do recently, and no one has seen him in the slums."

The boy nodded, he is not in a hurry, he has been here for so many years, there is nothing to worry about.

The woman added: "However, his subordinates come here every day."

The boy looked at the woman: "Who is there?"

Woman: "I don't know the name. Zhao Lei's subordinates change frequently, so it's useless to remember the name."

"But it shouldn't be the group that followed your mother when she died."

The boy nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

"That's right." The woman whispered, "When I went to the supermarket today, I heard they said they were going to repair the staff dormitory. Tell me, is it possible for me to move in?"

The woman's eyes became wild: "You have seen this too. I am not safe here, and it is not convenient to do anything. If someone breaks in and kills me, I will not be able to help you."

The woman said to the boy: "If you ask other people to inquire, they will definitely betray you, and if they inquire, they will definitely reveal the truth. Only me, people like me will not be remembered by people."

"They must think that I want to get something from Zhao Lei," the woman said.

The boy didn't agree directly, he showed a rare embarrassment, and said after a few seconds: "I can't make the decision."

He himself relied on Ye Zhou to move out of the slums, and it was okay to save some from his water and rations, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to ask Ye Zhou.

The woman quickly said: "You can, you can definitely! We all know how kind that boss is to you. Anyway, they also want to repair the dormitory. Just tell him that we know each other, and he will definitely agree!"

The boy didn't speak, but the woman was afraid that he would not agree, so she grabbed his hand and said, "When a man likes you, he won't refuse anything you want from him, but only this time, so you should hurry up now and get whatever you want." Take it from him."

This sentence made the boy withdraw his hand immediately, he grabbed his bag tightly, jumped off the chair and was about to leave.

The woman grabbed his wrist, and she asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Are you angry? Why?"

The boy doesn't know why, selling himself for benefits and food is the way of survival for most people in the slums, not only women, but also men, otherwise he wouldn't have said that to Ye Zhou when he was taken away by Ye Zhou .

But now when he heard such words from a woman's mouth, even though he knew she had no malicious intentions, he was still angry about it.

He almost gritted his teeth and said: "You don't know him, he treats me...he's not that kind of person, he's different from them!"

The woman looked at him blankly, as if she didn't understand what he was saying.

The boy broke free from the woman's hand. For the first time, he showed disgust on his expressionless face, and said in a cold tone, "Don't mention him."

The woman timidly said "Oh", but she was still unwilling to give up: "You can tell me to do anything, I won't say anything you don't want to hear in the future, then, that dormitory..."

The boy stared at her with dark eyes, and it took a long time before he said, "I will ask for you, but just to ask."

The woman was happy again, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.

After leaving the woman's tin house, the boy went to the door of another house. He just knocked on the door, and the door opened by itself.

He pushed open the door and went in, and sure enough, he saw a scrawny man in the room. The food and water he left for the man had already been eaten and drunk.

But at this moment, the man was still lying on the ground, like a gasping corpse.

The boy squatted beside the "bed". After a while, the man's lips moved: "Who are you?"

The man turned over, but his eyes were still closed. He had slept for several days. He had never slept so satisfyingly in his life, and even wanted to sleep like this.

But his body, which was riddled with holes and looked as if it would fall down in a second, was extraordinarily strong at this moment.

"Give up." The man took a few breaths, "No one can touch him."

"Is it me, a waste with shrunken limbs who can't even walk, who can kill him, or you, a brat who is not as tall as his waist?"

The man finally opened his eyes and turned to look at the boy's face. He squinted his eyes and couldn't see the boy's face clearly: "I don't remember you."

The boy said calmly, "Your father gave me a piece of potato."

The man said "Oh", and after a moment of silence, he said, "He's always been like that. He can't get enough to eat, and he still has extra kindness everywhere. He never thought that I'm also hungry."

The boy could tell that the man didn't love his father, didn't appreciate it, and even hated it.

"This house is yours now," said the boy. "Every three days, I will come to bring you food and water."

Boy: "I won't force you to help me, you should think about it yourself."

When he was about to leave, the man stopped him: "Tell me, what do you want me to do."

The boy stopped and turned to look at the man.

The man looked at the iron sheet above his head: "A piece of potato, for you to bring so many things, my dad has helped people all his life, and only you can bring things."

He said calmly: "The people he helped used to take care of my business."

"You see, there is no good reward for a good person. The final end of a good person is to go to hell and live like a dog."

But the boy didn't care about his sad past, without any touch, he said: "I remember Zhou Yang likes you very much."

The man thought for a long time, and finally remembered who Zhou Yang was.

The boy said, "Zhou Yang and Zhao Lei are back together."

The man sneered and said, "Like it? Like I'm still here? Locked in a cage? His likes are like shit."

"At least he'll come to you." The boy approached the man.

The man still squinted his eyes, this time, he finally saw the boy's face clearly.

An indifferent, vicious face without any childishness in such an environment.
