Chapter 552 - 552 Not a Single Vegetable Leaf Remained!
552 Not a Single Vegetable Leaf Remained!
In Yan Jin’s opinion, everyone holding food radiated an evil aura and was mocking him!
“Why am I so unlucky?”
Master must have asked me to buy food for Mistress! But I couldn’t buy anything! Is this trying to make me utterly aggrieved?
“No, I can’t go back like this. I must think of something else.”!!
Muttering to himself, he walked towards the people carrying the items, thinking he could buy something from them.
He could offer them a higher price if needed.
However, when they saw him walking towards them, they dispersed quickly!
Yan Jin was speechless.
He had yet to say anything. How did these people know he wanted to buy what they had?
He was unaware that these people also wanted to buy things from others, especially weaker people.
They could tell that Yan Jin was more powerful than them. They would be threatened with selling the food they had painstakingly snatched if they did not flee immediately.
…
Another 15 minutes passed…
Yan Jin returned with a helpless expression. He was empty-handed and did not buy anything.
An Jiuyue had counted the herbs and was invested in medicine refinement. Qian Jiyun, on the other hand, had been chased out. She had to be focused.
He caught sight of Yan Jin, who had returned, just in time.
“Where are the things I asked you to buy?”
Yan Jin looked down at his hands before looking up at his master. He opened his mouth several times but could not say anything.
Qian Jiyun waited for a long time before Yan Jin finally exclaimed, “Master, you should have reminded me earlier!”
If his master had reminded him to buy vegetables as soon as he returned to the camp, he could have obtained something.
He could not get anything, even though he was only a few minutes late and had even rushed there. He watched others carry food, vegetables, and fruits and listened to them discuss when the shop had opened.
“I arrived to find an empty shop. There was nothing inside. Those starving people bought everything! Not a single vegetable leaf remained!”
He was regretful. If he had run faster, he could have obtained something. He watched helplessly as the last person carrying a quarter kilogram of potatoes brushed past him at the door.
He had thought this person was so poor that he could only buy a quarter kilogram of potatoes. If it were him, he would definitely buy everything.
How could he have known that that person only bought a quarter kilogram of potatoes because that was all that remained?
Qian Jiyun was stunned.
He anticipated that selling the items on the first day of business would take some time. He did not think his arrangements would be in vain.
“It’s fine if you can’t buy them,” he said calmly to Yan Jin.
“How can I let it go?” Yan Jin’s eyes widened as if he could not let this matter rest.
If there were no vegetables and An Jiuyue did not come, it would have been fine if he could not buy them.
However, she was here and should eat the best vegetables. He was disappointing. The shop sold so many things, but he could not buy any!
He could not let it go, right?
