I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 609 - 609 Iʼm Too Pitiful

609 I’m Too Pitiful

“Is there a problem?”

“I’m already dressed very plainly.” Ji Qingyan turned her head around. “Look at my hair. It’s still messy and I haven’t had time to tie it up.”

“I won’t say anything else. Change out of your high heels first. That area doesn’t have a red carpet. Wearing high heels is useless.”

“Fine.”

!!
Ji Qingyan sulkily went back to change into a pair of flats, then excitedly pulled Lin Yi out of the door.

Outside, the sky was just beginning to brighten. Ji Qingyan wrapped herself tightly in her clothes.

“I haven’t seen the dawn sky in a long time.”

“What are you talking about? Did you often see it before?”

“I saw it a lot when I was in school. Our self-study rooms were all available 24/7. At the end of the semester, we would study until dawn. At other times, we will wake up at about this time to learn English.”

Hiss…

Lin Yi gasped.

The difference between a top student and a bad student was worlds apart.

The two of them went out, got into Lin Yi’s Koenigsegg RS, and drove towards the store.

Lin Yi got the tricycle, and Ji Qingyan removed the seat cushion from the passenger seat. She placed it on the tricycle and sat cross-legged on it.

“I’m ready. We can go now.”

Lin Yi felt that he didn’t look like he was buying goods, but more like he was dragging a kindergartener for a spring outing.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened.

The number of pedestrians on the street also increased.

When they saw Ji Qingyan on the tricycle, they felt as if her worldview had been overturned.

“What the f*ck is going on? How can a tricycle pull such a top-notch beauty?”

“Is there something special about this trike? Is it brand-new Lamborghini product?”

“I can guarantee with my heart that they are definitely not a couple!”

Ji Qingyan did not feel embarrassed at all when she saw the passers-by giving her strange looks.

On the contrary, it made Lin Yi feel unnatural.

“Lin Yi, I’ll give you a watermelon to replenish your strength.”

“I’m not eating. You should have it.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to eat? Then I’ll leave you alone.”

“Yeah.”

Lin Yi turned around and saw that Ji Qingyan had not only brought fruits, but also half a packet of biscuits.

Apart from that, she also brought out the new pink water bottle she had bought.

She soon chugged down the warm water.

“Lin Yi, stop for now.” Ji Qingyan shouted as they passed by the intersection.

“This is a tricycle. The traffic police don’t care. Just don’t throw anything on the road.”

“I’m not worried about the traffic police. There’s a roadside seller selling roasted sweet potatoes. Buy me one.”

Lin Yi, “…”

“From everyone’s perspective , you’re considered a beauty. Can you eat something high-class? Why are you eating roasted sweet potatoes?”

“Sweet potatoes are delicious.”

“Let me tell you, when we were in school, Yuanyuan and I often woke up in the morning and memorized English. Then, we went to the morning market at the west gate of the school to buy something to eat. We both loved to eat this. Hurry up and buy one for me. They will close the stall in a while.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Wait here.”

Lin Yi had a helpless expression on his face as he parked the tricycle to the side and went to buy roasted sweet potatoes for Ji Qingyan.

Lin Yi was speechless. Did she completely let herself go after having a boyfriend?

A 100-point beauty was sitting on a tricycle and eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Was this scene alright?

“Lin Yi.”

While Lin Yi was lining up to buy roasted sweet potatoes, Ji Qingyan sat in the car and said.

“What now?”

“There’s a fried cake seller nearby. Buy me one too.”

“Alright, alright, alright. Just wait.”

A few minutes later, Lin Yi returned to the tricycle with the roasted sweet potato and fried cake.

She chuckled. “I haven’t eaten these things in a long time.”

“Hurry up and eat. We still have work to do later.”

“Got it.”

After two crossing another two streets, Lin Yi rode his tricycle to the market.

Ji Qingyan took out her water bottle.

“Do you want to take a sip to replenish yourself?”

“Keep it for yourself.”

“Okay.”

The two of them arrived at the market. Lin Yi looked around and felt that they were too late.

The remaining dishes did not seem very fresh. He had to choose carefully.

However, Ji Qingyan’s attention was elsewhere.

Why was there a breakfast stall here?

The egg pancakes and scallion pancakes looked delicious.

However, if Lin Yi bought it for her again, she would be scolded, right?

‘I’m so pathetic.’

It was better to endure it and eat only after buying the vegetables.

“Boss, how much is this carrot?” Lin Yi asked.

“5.20 yuan a catty.”

“That expensive? How much is it wholesale?”

“If you buy more than 10 catties. it will be 3.8 yuan per catty.”

Lin Yi looked at the price and felt that it was a little too expensive, so he left with Ji Qingyan.

“Why did they leave? I think their carrots are pretty good.”

“It’s a little expensive. Let’s go to another stall.”

“If we buy more than 10 catties, it’ll be 3.8 yuan. This price is so cheap.”

“We still have to compare the goods.” Lin Yi said.

“Although 80 cents doesn’t mean much to you, it’s a huge cost to those who run a small business. Even if you save a dime, it’ll grow to be a considerable amount over the years.”

“You’re right.”

When Ji Qingyan was doing business, she would also carefully select her material suppliers.

However, her mindset had not completely adapted to the new circumstance.

He was still looking at these small businesses with the mindset of a rich person and did not take these small sums of money to heart.

The two of them walked around the market. Ji Qingyan’s job was to watch, and Lin Yi was in charge of picking the goods. Occasionally, she would offer some suggestions, but they were all rejected by Lin Yi.

After walking around, Lin Yi stopped in front of a stall on the innermost side.

“Boss, how much are your carrots?”

When he saw a customer coming to his door, he was smoking a cigarette and talking to two shop owners who were helping him play Fight the Landlord.

“5 yuan for less than 10 catties. If you buy more than that, the wholesale price is 3.2 yuan.”

Hearing this price, Ji Qingyan stared at Lin Yi excitedly.

“It’s 60 cents cheaper than the previous shop. You can save 6 yuan by buying 10 catties.”

They would save 6 yuan each. Coupled with other dishes, he saved even more.

“That’s why we have to walk more and take a look around. Didn’t I tell you we would find a cheaper stall?”

Actually, Lin Yi was not a professional when it came to such matters, but he was still better than Ji Qingyan.

“Then give me ten pounds,” Lin Yi said.

“I’ll go to the warehouse and get you a whole packet. Those are all in ten pound sizes. The ones on display here have been stored overnight. They’re not as fresh as the ones in the warehouse.”

“Alright, I’m looking forward to it.”

“That’s not a problem, but do you have anything else to buy? I don’t dare to say anything else, but if you walk through the entire market, I can guarantee that other people’s dishes will not be as fresh as mine, nor will theycbe as cheap as mine.” The male boss said with a cigarette in his mouth.

“If you want to buy anything else, get them all at my stall. I’ll give you a cheaper price.”

“I think it’s fine,” Ji Qingyan said. “We have a lot of things to buy. If we add them all up, it’ll be at least a hundred yuan cheaper.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

In the end, Lin Yi bought cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbages, green beans, radishes, and more.

There were more than a dozen bags in total, and Ji Qingyan was very satisfied with the haul, as if they were spoils of war.

Moreover, these things only cost a little more than 400 yuan. It was really cheap.

“Boss, why are your goods sold so cheaply?” She asked.

“Young lady, you’ve hit the nail on the head.” The male boss said.

“In the entire market, our shop is the largest and has the most stock. Therefore, the price we get from the vegetable farmers is also the lowest. It’ll naturally be cheaper than others.”

“That’s true.”

Ji Qingyan felt that the shop she was buying from could be considered a giant in the market.

He probably earned the most as well.

“Brother, wait a moment. I’ll get someone to bring it out for you,” the male boss said after they paid and the transaction was completed.

“Okay.”

The male boss called over his helpers to use the flatbed cart to help Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan. He brought out all the things they had bought and watched them leave.

“Old Ruxian, you’re really ruthless. Did you really sell them all the rotten vegetables from a few days ago?” The fat man standing opposite him said.
