Chapter 11: Supplies For Zhang Chunyang

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On Saturday, Su Jin took a cab to her warehouse on the outskirts alone. When she arrived, there were already several trucks waiting at the entrance.

They were carrying her solar-powered generator, the paddy huskers, food processors, and the small oil press. Su Jin took the drinks and cigarettes she had prepared in advance and offered them to the truck drivers. The drivers were ecstatic. Although this place was a little far out for them, the tobacco was more than worth it. The cigarettes were already worth the money they would earn with this delivery.

Su Jin had an ulterior motive, of course. She did not have any movers at her warehouse, so she had to ask the drivers to help her carry the things inside. The machines were not light, and even with a forklift to help, they were exhausted by the end of it. Still, they had accepted her gifts, so they might as well help her. Besides, the lady seemed nice enough.

The drivers took a short break after they moved the stuff in, and Su Jin gave them each a red packet with a little bonus before they left. She assured them that it was a tradition where she came from, so that they could share a little cheer.

The drivers accepted their bonuses gladly. What an unexpected windfall, the red packets had 500 bucks each inside! The young lady’s hometown tradition was great.

Not long after the drivers left, the blades Su Jin had ordered arrived as well. By then, Su Jin had just moved all the machines from the warehouse into her dimension, so the bespectacled man and the driver who brought the knives over only saw an empty warehouse.

The two of them handed over the goods, and then Su Jin bid the bespectacled man goodbye. Next, she was planning to buy some supplies from a nearby market to leave for Zhang Chunyang.

There were many people at the produce market in the outskirts. It was probably because more people came out for grocery shopping on Saturdays.

Su Jin bought fifty bags of rice, thirty bags or flour, and ten barrels of cooking oil at a basic necessities store. She then gave the store owner the address of the warehouse and asked him to send the goods there in the afternoon. Luckily, the owner was nice enough to not ask for a delivery fee. In return, Su Jin bought some more red beans, green beans, soy beans, sesame seeds, and peanuts at the store, purchasing in bulk each time. The owner was so happy that he ignored the other customers, cheerfully trailing behind Su Jin with his notebook and rapidly noting down everything she ordered. The last thing he wanted to do was miss something.

Su Jin’s mother and grandmother liked cooking multi-grain congee for their purported health benefits, so Su Jin bought everything she could. The ingredients would not go bad in her dimension anytime soon, anyway.

Other than these food stuffs, Su Jin also bought several dozen cartons of cans, ham, and other easily preserved, portable food supplies. She could not get vacuum-packed biscuits at the market, so she bought a hundred boxes of instant noodles instead.

After she left the market, Su Jin found a Lanzhou noodle shop and had a bowl of lamian. She had some portions of beef and a few drinks to go, too. That way, she would not have to worry about going hungry when she was waiting at the warehouse for the goods to arrive that afternoon, Su Jin thought to herself happily.

However, her wanton spending eventually drew unwanted attention.

When Su Jin was waiting at the warehouse, a few young men approached her, saying that they were here to collect a warehouse protection fee.

They were clearly local gangsters, and they were not even wearing a uniform. It seemed they did not even bother to hide their malevolent motives. The warehouse had been sitting empty for a long time, but suddenly there were so many incoming deliveries here, so the thugs nearby wanted to check things out for themselves. They were curious to see who the newcomer was and what they were storing in the warehouse.

One of the blondes saw that Su Jin was the only person in the warehouse, so he gave the fatty next to him a meaningful look. The other men burst out laughing in unison.

Su Jin did not even want to stand up. They were weaklings whose habitual hedonism was written on their faces. She even suspected they had a drug history. Their footsteps were unsteady and their eye bags extremely evident.

“Hey, girlie! Aren’t you scared, staying here all alone? Shall we give you a good lovin’?” The fat man at the center sneered as he approached Su Jin.

“Burp~” Su Jin burped loudly without a shred of decorum. She might have drank too much Sprite just now, but it sure as hell felt good.

The men saw that Su Jin did not look scared at all. She even burped so boldly in front of them, so she was obviously looking down on them. In case, they were going to have to show this little princess the ways of this cruel world.

Su Jin sat on a rack in the warehouse, her legs swinging in the air without a care in the world. The blonde was the first to reach her, trying to pull her down. The moment he touched her calf, though, she sent him flying with a spinning kick.

There was a loud crash as he hit a metal shelf nearby. His head was bleeding, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless. _{freēwebnovel.com}

The fatty was furious now. He did not expect this girl to be this fearless, so he was determined to make her beg for mercy later.

Su Jin saw the fatty pull out a dagger from behind him, lunging right at her. In response, she grabbed the half-full bottle of Sprite next to her and threw it at him.

There was another loud crash.

The other underlings behind the fat man rubbed their eyes. Were they seeing things? Did their boss, the fat guy, just get knocked out by a bottle of Sprite?

They exchanged a look and decided to rush her together. No matter how strong the girl seemed, there was no way she could take on all these men by herself, right?

That was the sight that greeted the grocery store owners when he arrived with the goods. Su Jin had gotten up and ran toward the men who were trying to grab her, launching into the air and kicking them hard. The men hit the ground, one after the other.

…

“Clap clap clap!” The owners here with their deliveries burst into applause.
