Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "Please give me 200 tons of long-grain rice, medium- grain rice, and short-grain rice. Give me 150 tons of glutinous rice, black rice, brown rice, red rice, calmochi rice, and aromatic rice. I also want 100 tons of basmati rice, jasmine rice, Valencia rice, Arborio rice, parboiled rice, and wild rice." ƒreewebɳovel.com
Since the store also sells flour, she added, "Please give me 150 tons of all-purpose flour, wheat flour, corn flour, bread flour, gluten-free flour, buckwheat flour, oat flour, potato flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, sorghum flour, and glutinous rice flour."
"Also, 80 tons of chickpea flour, almond flour, gluten-free flour blends, spelt flour, rye flour, semolina flour, double zero flour, self-rising flour, instant flour, pastry flour, beans flour, and cake flour."
After she listed what she wanted, her store owner's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Sensing his gaze, Yao Ran asked, "Is there any problem?"
The store owner came to his senses and said, "Miss, do you really want to buy so many grains?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Yes."
The store owner looked at her suspiciously, and Yao Ran added, "You can calculate the price first, and I will pay half as a deposit. I will pay the rest after you deliver the goods."
The store owner thought for a while and picked up the calculator. After calculating the price, he then showed Yao Ran the bill.
The store owner said, "The wholesale price for one kilogram of flour is 2.4 yuan. The total amount of rice and flour is 15.846.000 yuan. Since you bought more, I will give you a discount of 46,000 yuan."
Yao Ran glanced at the long bill and thought in surprise, 'These things only cost me fifteen million? Is grain so cheap now?'
After living at the end of the world for ten years, Yao Ran's understanding of standard commodity prices before the end of the world has changed. At the end of the world, everything will be paid for in gold bars or barter with other supplies.
Now, a kilogram of rice costs less than five yuan, and a kilogram of flour costs less than three yuan. If it were after the end of the world, then one kilogram of rice could be exchanged for at least two pounds of gold or exchanged for three kilograms of compressed biscuits.
Seeing that Yao Ran didn't speak, the store owner frowned and said, "Miss, if you don't want to buy, you can leave."
After coming back to her senses, Yao Ran took the bill from the store owner and asked, "What is your bank account? I will transfer seven million to you first, and then I will transfer you the rest after receiving the goods."
When the store owner heard this, he asked, "Do you really want to buy it?"
Yao Ran calmly said, "Yes."
