Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies-Chapter 115 - : Jade Bracelet
Chapter 115: Jade Bracelet
Over the next few days, Su Yinhe was either on the way to scouring for treasures or actually scouring for them.
Gradually, she was making a name for herself.
Now everyone knew that there was a Space Ability User in the market who would trade heaps of rice for some jewelry and other such useless items.
Privately, everyone marveled at how some people were so hungry they couldn’t even afford gruel, yet others could trade big bags of rice for jewelry.
Especially when they found out Su Yinhe was a woman, they unanimously believed that Su Yinhe loved beauty.
Then they became even more envious.
While steeped in jealousy, they began rummaging around their homes or asking friends if they had any such things.
Something so useless could be traded for a bag of rice.
Such a big temptation was laid out in front of them, how could they resist?
Later, Su Yinhe simply stopped searching everywhere and set up a stall instead, sitting there on a foldable chair, waiting for folks to come and trade.
With rice in her hands, they were all willing to come with things to exchange.
Su Yinhe would also throw in a little extra for them.
Both parties were very satisfied.
Of course, there were those who were clueless, seeing Su Yinhe’s youthful appearance, they wanted to take advantage.
But although Su Yinhe looked young, after so many years as a corporate slave and dealing with so many ridiculous colleagues, her heart had long since turned black.
She was like a tangyuan now, white and tender on the outside, but with a black heart on the inside.
Those who wanted to take advantage of her would simply be turned away.
What a joke, with so many people willing to trade, she didn’t need a few pieces from someone like that.
Once Su Yinhe declined to trade, the opportunists panicked, begging and pleading by calling on heaven and earth, saying they had elderly parents and young children at home, how could she bear to watch their children starve to death.
Trying to play the morality card.
But in this apocalypse, there were hardly a few people left with morality.
Those waiting in line to trade overheard this and banded together to mock him while at the same time flattering Su Yinhe.
In the end, the man had to slink away, carrying the few pieces he had, only to have to ask friends to come and exchange on his behalf.
Su Yinhe turned a blind eye to this; she couldn’t afford to turn away money, as long as it didn’t dance in front of her face.
Anyway, her reputation was growing bigger and bigger, so big that even Superpower Users who often went out hunting and working had heard of it, and many Superpower Users quickly rummaged through their homes to find things to exchange.
They hadn’t realized it before, but once they came, they saw the person was Su Yinhe.
“Boss Su. It’s you?” Xu Jiaoqin had also heard about this and had specifically brought her old jewelry to exchange.
She had a few pieces of jewelry, considered useless after the apocalypse, but some were left by her mother, which she had moved again and again, never having the heart to throw them away.
They had fortunately not been washed away by the recent flood.
She had thought about taking them to the supermarket to exchange, but the supermarket currently only accepted Gold and Crystal Cores, not anything else.
So, she had held herself back.
A couple of days ago, she went to the supermarket only to find it had closed down.
Then these past few days, she heard that someone was trading rice for jewelry, and since Xu Jiaoqin had been one of the first to patronize the supermarket and often shopped there afterward, she was intrigued.
She wasn’t short of rice, but in the apocalypse, no one would complain about having too little stored food.
After hearing the news, she rummaged around at home and indeed found some.
So, she brought them to see if they could be exchanged.
To her surprise, the stall owner turned out to be Su Yinhe.
But it was normal it was Su Yinhe; apart from her, Xu Jiaoqin couldn’t think of anyone else who would be such a sucker.
“Captain Xu,” Su Yinhe waved her hand.
“Boss Su, how come you’re out here? I was so sad when I saw the supermarket wasn’t open,” Xu Jiaoqin said, her heart skipping a beat. At the time, she thought Su Yinhe no longer wanted to run the supermarket.
She had already been worrying about how to survive if the supermarket didn’t open.
If she hadn’t encountered the supermarket at the beginning, she could have endured those previous days.
Eating the tasteless meat of mutant animals, drinking the horrible, throat-scratching gruel, getting grievously wounded by a mutant animal one day, enjoying a good meal, and then dying…
That was the ending she had envisioned.
But she had found the supermarket.
She had eaten instant noodles, canned lunch meat, fresh fruits and vegetables, and even rice…
After enjoying so much, being asked to return to her previous life would have been worse than death.
The more Xu Jiaoqin thought about it, the more panic-stricken she became. If Yun Wujiu hadn’t seen the note Su Yinhe left, she guessed she might have become reclusive for a few days.
“Being in the supermarket every day, sitting for too long is uncomfortable too. So I came out to do some business at your base,” Su Yinhe said happily upon seeing a familiar face.
She liked Xu Jiaoqin quite a bit; even as a girl, she found Xu Jiaoqin’s figure tantalizing.
“Good taste,” Xu Jiaoqin gave a thumbs up, although she had some disdain for certain teams inside the base and held some prejudices, Sun Base was still pretty good.
At least they took some care of the ordinary people in the base.

She had originally fled from another base to Sun Base. That previous base was chaotic, with leaders fighting for power, indulging in luxuries, and completely disregarding the safety of ordinary people.
In that base, Superpower Users lived well, while ordinary people led miserable lives, starving to death every day.
Those Superpower Users even took pleasure in enslaving ordinary people, whipping them at will, making breathing feel like a mistake.
Although she was a Superpower User, she just couldn’t stand by and watch these things happen.
She fled in the night, carrying her dog.
And then she came to Sun Base, where the atmosphere wasn’t bad. Although the leadership was also fighting for power and it was a bit chaotic, fortunately, some leaders considered the needs of the ordinary people.
They would send Superpower Users to clear the plants outside the base to ensure ordinary people wouldn’t get trapped and killed.
They also built walls and patrolled daily to check for any damage.
Unlike the previous base she stayed at, which had crumbling walls that provided no protection.
Ordinary people lived on the very edge; if the walls broke and zombies or mutant animals got in, ordinary people would be the first to die.
Su Yinhe smiled faintly, not answering.
“Come, see what I’ve got. How much rice are these worth?” Xu Jiaoqin hadn’t forgotten her main purpose and, after briefly exchanging pleasantries, took out the goods she brought.
When Su Yinhe saw what she brought out, her eyes instantly widened.
The jewelry Xu Jiaoqin took out was similar to what others had brought, but one piece caught Su Yinhe’s eye.
A jade bracelet.
That color was so beautiful it struck Su Yinhe’s heart directly.
“This is beautiful,” Su Yinhe couldn’t help but pick it up to look at it. Under the sunlight, the luster of the jade bracelet was even more enchanting.
“You really have an eye for quality. This is a family heirloom my mother left me,” Xu Jiaoqin genuinely thought Su Yinhe had good taste.
Of all the things, she had immediately noticed the most valuable one.
Her items were worthless in this world.
But in the past, the most valuable was this bracelet.
The other items were bought by her mother when she was alive; only this bracelet was handed down.
“How much rice do you want for it?” Su Yinhe really liked the bracelet, and since Xu Jiaoqin was a regular customer, she intended to offer a little more.
