Unscrupulous profiteer

Chapter 3 Difficult Alien Foodie

() 24 hours... No, if you can't complete a transaction within 23 hours and 30 minutes, you will be finished!Zheng Jing couldn't think about other things in his mind now. After hastily delivering the goods, he sent a text message to the boss saying that he had resigned, and he didn't go back to the store.

"How can I trade with other plane merchants?" Zheng Jing asked the terminal hurriedly. His own life was involved, and he was sweating all over his body. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a white pie in this world. good thing.

The terminal did not answer Zheng Jing, but directly unfolded a star map in front of his eyes, which depicted the universe around the earth as the center. Those planets with civilizations and plane merchants were marked out, and some of them had a vertical Labels, which list items that those planar merchants demand or sell.

Zheng Jing quickly glanced at the information on these labels, and then locked his attention on one of the information about buying grain.For him, a rookie who currently doesn't have any capital and experience, things like food should be the easiest deal to complete.

"Terminal, help me contact this plane merchant."

"Understood, I am sending a communication invitation to the other party, please wait a moment..."

"The other party accepts the communication invitation, and the translation function is automatically turned on."

A virtual screen unfolded in front of Zheng Jing, and a handsome man with a dignified appearance appeared on the screen. Although the clothes were slightly different from the earth, it could still be seen that he was dressed as a successful person.

"Hi, I'm Pierre, a businessman from the plane of Nar. Is there anything I can do for you, sir?"

"You... hello..." Zheng Jing watched the other party answer nervously. He originally thought that aliens were monsters with three heads and six arms, and ridiculously big eyes and heads. The people were almost the same, and they opened their mouths in silence for a while before recovering from the surprise and expressing their intentions: "I am Zheng Jing, a businessman from the plane of the earth. Are you buying grain? Can you tell me more about your business?" request?"

When he heard that the business was coming, the plane merchant named Pierre suddenly showed a kind smile: "Yes, we are a civilization with highly advanced technology, but due to over-development, my planet has no space for food production. , need a lot of food, I will exchange advanced technology."

"Can any kind of food be used?"

"Of course not. I still have certain requirements for the quality of the product. You can send a small amount of the product you can provide first. I will test the sample first, and then purchase in large quantities if it is suitable."

Zheng Jingjing nodded: "I'm looking for samples right now, then I'll contact you later."

It's 4pm, and it won't be long before most shops close and nearly ten hours of the night will be wasted.Time was running out, so Zheng Jing immediately turned on the map on his mobile phone and found the address of the nearest grain store. Regardless of the heat, he rode his bicycle as fast as possible.

The capital city is too big. It was already half an hour later when Zheng Jing arrived at the grain store on his broken bicycle. When he threw down his bicycle and rushed into the grain store soaked, the owner of the grain store was taken aback. He has been in business for so many years, but he has never seen such a person come to buy food. Could this be robbery?

After entering the door, Zheng Jing couldn't even catch his breath, so he took out a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet and slapped it on the table: "Take a bag of rice and a small bag of flour."

What I sell is food and not a elixir, can it be used to save lives?

The boss looked at Zheng Jing's anxious look that he would die if he didn't get the food quickly. Although he was puzzled, he quickly took out the rice and flour that Zheng Jing needed from the pile of goods behind him. Grabbing the rice bag with one hand and the flour belt with the other, he ran out of the grain store in a hurry without even letting the boss find the money.

Of course the boss didn't know that Zheng Jing bought the food to save his life. He packed the rice and flour on the back seat of the bicycle and went to a deserted corner. Zheng Jing opened the communication with Pierre again.

"I found the sample, and I will send it to you now."

This time there was no need for the unreliable terminal reminder, when Zheng Jing set his eyes on the two bags of grain, the teleportation option automatically appeared in front of him.

After issuing the transmission command, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the two bags of food on the back seat of the bicycle disappeared in the next second.

"Is this your cargo? It looks pretty good." Looking at the two heavy bags of white objects sent by Zheng Jing, Pierre's eyes were full of surprise. Judging from the weight of these two bags, they should be Enough to feed one person for a long time.

Seeing that Pierre was satisfied, Zheng Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and began to briefly explain the cooking method of rice and flour to Pierre, and then he didn't know what method Pierre used. After less than 10 minutes, his hand There was an extra bowl of steaming rice and a large steamed bun made of white flour.

Facing these two fresh foods, Pierre first opened his eyes curiously to observe in all directions, then moved his nose close to smell them, and then carefully took out a spoon-shaped thing, dug a little rice and put it into his mouth inside.

"How?" Zheng Jing clenched his palms unconsciously, and focused all his attention on the communication screen where Pierre was slowly chewing the rice in his mouth, expecting that as long as Pierre said yes, the deal would be considered a success. up.

It's a pity that he didn't get what he wanted.

Pierre tasted the rice in his mouth carefully, and didn't show much at first, but as he chewed, his brows frowned slightly. After swallowing the rice, he picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, but This time, without chewing twice, he tilted his head and spit out the unchewed steamed bun!

Pierre wiped his mouth before talking to Zheng Jing again with a serious face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng Jing, I'm not satisfied with your product."

"Why?" Zheng Jing couldn't help exclaiming. He couldn't understand what was wrong with the rice and flour he sent. Could it be that the people on their planet eat so much that they can't get enough of rice and steamed buns?

"Don't worry." Pierre comforted Zheng Jing, grabbed a handful of rice from the rice bag at his feet, and put it into an instrument.

"75% carbohydrates, 7% fat, 1.5% protein, and vitamins, this kind of food is very nutritious and filling..." Pierre played with a few rice grains in his hand, and looked at Zheng Jing with a smile : "But the taste of this kind of food is too monotonous, and it is not delicious as food. As for the stuff called steamed buns made of flour, with all due respect, the texture of this stuff makes me hard to swallow. In addition, that A food called rice contains excessive cadmium levels.”

Zheng Jing was dumbfounded. He didn't expect these aliens to be so delicate. It's not enough to fill their stomachs, they must also demand delicious food!But now that he knew the reason for Pierre's dissatisfaction, Zheng Jing was not in a hurry.

"Wait for me a little longer, I have other food here that will definitely satisfy you!"

After making a promise, Zheng Jing turned off the communication, rode his bicycle and rushed to the nearby market. At this time, the market was at its busiest time. Zheng Jing found a stall and bought a catty of sweet potatoes. This kind of food is called sweet potatoes in Zheng Jing’s hometown. Whether it is baked or boiled, the taste and texture are good, and they are plentiful and cheap, so don't worry about the quantity.

He went to the meat stall again and bought a large piece of pork belly. Zheng Jing found a place where there was no one to send the sweet potatoes and meat to Pierre, and carefully taught him to make a pot of braised pork with all the flavors and flavors. Sure.

There is absolutely no problem with the taste of roasted sweet potatoes and braised pork. Seeing that Pierre wiped out all the food like a storm, you can tell that he is quite satisfied with the taste of the food this time. However, after he burped comfortably, Pierre’s answer was It almost made Zheng Jing collapse.

"I'm sorry, but the food still can't meet my requirements this time."

Looking at Zheng Jing who was already stunned, Pierre explained unhurriedly: "Meat food is delicious, but long-term consumption will lead to fat accumulation and cause a series of negative health effects. As for sweet potatoes, although they look very bulky It’s big but the energy it can provide is very limited. After eating it, you won’t be able to last for three hours before you’ll probably feel hungry again. In addition, you don’t think you can eat this kind of food after peeling off the skin, and you need to clean off the skin after eating. Is it troublesome?"

Zheng Jing really wanted to quit the job, this is too jb difficult to serve! ?But he still refuses to admit defeat, he doesn't believe that the world's number one gourmet food in Datianchao can't satisfy this group of alien foodies!
