“You’re selling a cup of instant noodles for 50 yuan? Doesn’t that seem like robbery to you?”
Ye Tianxin heard a noise in the distance.
“Yes, it’s 50 yuan, and it doesn’t matter whether you buy it or not
The salesperson in the shop looked arrogant.
“Never mind. We’ll pay for it. Our son is hungry.”
A young woman was persuading her man.
The three-year-old boy next to the man was crying with hunger.
The man lowered his head and gently comforted the little boy beside him.
He was really reluctant to buy the noodles because 50 yuan was half of his pay rate per day.
However, his child was so hungry. How could he bear to see him like that as a father?
Ye Tianxin squeezed into the crowd and asked the salesperson, “How much do you usually sell for a cup of instant noodles?”
The person aside said to Ye Tianxin, “5 yuan.”
Ye Tianxin also knew that when something like a cup of instant noodles was sold for 3 yuan in the small shops outside, it was sold for 5 yuan here.
“Are you selling five-yuan instant noodles for 50? Are you sure you are doing the right thing? If you keep this up, I will tell the Consumers Association about you right away.”
The salesperson rolled her eyes and said to Ye Tianxin, “Little girl, you mind your own business. I’m open for business. It doesn’t matter whether you buy a cup of instant noodles for 5 yuan or not. I didn’t force you to buy it!”
The salesperson was a chubby woman. She certainly wasn’t worried about not having enough customers because there were so many people stranded at the train station!
Who knew how long they would be stranded here?
If there was a chance to make money, why didn’t she do it?
She was not a philanthropist!
“You’re so shameless.”
Ye Tianxin really wanted to slap this fat woman.
She now understood what it was like to be a profiteer in a time of crisis.
“I don’t want fame, I just want money. I don’t sell it for 50 yuan anymore. Now, a cup of instant noodles is for 100 yuan and 50 per bag. I will provide hot water if you bought it. I’m telling you that I don’t have much stock in my store. If you don’t buy them now, it’s none of my business when they are all gone.”
How arrogant.
Ye Tianxin had never seen someone so arrogant as to double the price right in front of her.
Ye Tianxin was furious.
Sure enough, the others kept staring at Ye Tianxin as if she shouldn’t stand up for them after hearing that the fat woman raised the price.
The price of instant noodles doubled all because she stood up for them.
“Will you buy it? Don’t stand in front of my door if you don’t. I have to open the door to sell this stuff!”
The fat woman stretched out her hand and pushed Ye Tianxin. Her arrogant face made Ye Tianxin sneer.
Ye Tianxin asked casually, “You had the connections to rent this storefront at the train station, didn’t you? You’re pretty arrogant to not worry about getting your relatives or friends in trouble, huh?”
Most people who could open the small grocery stores in a place like a train station or a bus station had connections.
They can’t open such shops otherwise.
“You mind your business. Buy it or get out!”
The fat woman was furious.
Ye Tianxin just turned around and glanced at her wristwatch.
They came by helicopter, so they arrived here earlier.
She calculated that Jing Zhichen would arrive at the train station in about three hours, which happened to be lunchtime.
“My compatriots, the owner of this store obviously took advantage of the snow disaster to cheat everyone out of their money. Please don’t buy anything from her store.”
A woman and her child moved to Ye Tianxin’s side before the latter finished speaking.
