◎Happy Fourth Day: Creating Something Out of Nothing◎

Jiang Muyun followed the aunt's instructions and found the Huimin Processing Factory.

The place is not difficult to find. You can see villagers driving cars to transport grain coming and going outside the factory. It is a bustling scene. You can find it by following the cars.

Jiang Muyun looked at the Huimin Processing Factory, which was quite large in scale and had a wide range of business, including rough processing of various agricultural and sideline products.

Jiang Muyun randomly found a worker who looked idle and started a conversation. When she said that Aunt Feng Cui had called her, the worker immediately showed an expression of "I understand" and took her into an office.

"Dad, someone is buying food from Aunt Feng Cui."

A middle-aged man was in the office, holding a notebook and writing something down. He replied with his head down, "I understand."

Then he looked up and asked, "What do you want to buy, little girl?"

Jiang Muyun stuck his head out and looked outside. "Fifteen tons of rice, ten tons of flour, two tons of peanut oil, and if you have sesame oil and rapeseed oil, one ton each. Uncle, do you have anything else for sale? Starch, noodles, etc."

After hearing the number Jiang Muyun reported, the middle-aged man did not immediately agree. Instead, he said, "Aunt Feng Cui's house, right? Let me take a look first."

He flipped through a few pages in the booklet, took out his calculator and fiddled with it before saying, "We have rice and flour, cornmeal, and cornstarch. But if you want to buy oil, you can only buy it at the price we charge at the processing plant. Aunt Feng Cui doesn't have enough."

Jiang Muyun asked about the price and felt that it was indeed cheaper without a middleman, so he paid the deposit without hesitation.

After leaving his phone number and warehouse address, Jiang Muyun asked, "Uncle, is there a farm nearby? I want to buy some chickens, ducks, fish, etc."

The middle-aged man pointed her in a direction: "Just follow the road, it's not far away, it's all in that area, owned by the same boss. If you want to buy some bacon or something, it's also nearby."

Jiang Muyun first went to the aquaculture area. Seeing that the prices there were cheap and there was a quick-freezing warehouse, he bought some shrimps directly and had them quick-frozen and sent to the warehouse.

Although the person in charge thought that the girl's behavior of buying a living thing and then freezing it to death was stupid, he did not ask any more questions. He just thought that the city kid was ignorant and agreed with a wave of his hand.

After Jiang Muyun went to the fish processing factory and ordered a large batch of fish that had just been killed but not yet processed, the person in charge became more determined in his idea.

After buying the river fish, Jiang Muyun found a poultry farm and bought two hundred old hens, two hundred old ducks, and one hundred old geese.

She bought fresh poultry because she wanted to make soup.

As for chicken legs and wings, Jiang Muyun plans to buy all frozen products.

Ordinary common meat is not like fish and shrimp. With Jiang Muyun's cooking skills, the difference between freshness and non-freshness after cooking is not big. At least Jiang Muyun's tongue cannot taste it, so it is better to save money by freezing it.

So Jiang Muyun hesitated at the livestock slaughterhouse and ordered four adult pigs, a cow and a sheep.

The meat is slaughtered immediately after purchase and can be delivered immediately after processing. A shelf for hanging the meat is also provided.

After Jiang Muyun ordered a batch of cured and preserved products from the processing factory next door and was rushing back to the warehouse to collect the condiments, he happened to run into a delivery truck from the farm.

When the delivery trucks from both sides met, the drivers chatted for a few minutes and found out that their destinations were the same, so they drove side by side.

Jiang Muyun went back with the truck delivering cured and preserved products. She chatted with the driver all the way. Even after the two drivers helped unload the goods, they were reluctant to leave and insisted on listening to the entrepreneurial story of Jiang Muyun's second uncle.

After Jiang Muyun paid the driver's wages and the balance, he saw that nothing else had been delivered, so he continued chatting with the two drivers.

Just as Jiang Muyun was talking about her second uncle being robbed while delivering goods, the seasonings she ordered in the morning arrived.

Along with the truck came several porters who helped unload the goods.

The two drivers at the farm had nothing else to do anyway, so they simply helped with the unloading. While unloading, they listened to Jiang Muyun talk about how her second uncle outsmarted the unscrupulous businessman.

The goods here have just been unloaded, and the grain truck from the processing plant has arrived.

It was enough food for Jiang Muyun to last several lifetimes, and they had prepared it without blinking an eye. If it weren't for the time required for loading and unloading, Jiang Muyun would have ordered it on the spot and taken it away immediately.

Even Jiang Muyun herself didn't expect that she could buy all the main foods in just one day.

At this rate, if Jiang Muyun wanted, she could even take the high-speed train back to Nanshi tonight.

In her previous life, she stumbled and walked for ten years from West City to South City.

And now, she only needed a few hours, and it couldn't be better.

After unloading the goods, Jiang Muyun distributed all the cigarettes she had bought during the day, paid each driver a sincere wage, and made an appointment with the two drivers from the farm that if they met again next time, she would introduce them to her legendary second uncle.

Jiang Muyun squatted in the warehouse and counted her treasures again.

After collecting the takeout from the small restaurant, Jiang Muyun closed the door of the warehouse.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, and the light in the warehouse disappeared completely.

Jiang Muyun pulled the torn curtains of the warehouse, and after making sure that no one around was paying attention to the place, he put his hand on the goods.

The mountains of goods in the warehouse disappeared little by little as Jiang Muyun moved.

Only Jiang Muyun knew that they were all moved to another empty space.

Put staple foods such as rice and noodles in one pile, and fresh food in another pile. Keep commonly used seasonings and spices separate, and keep liquids and solids separate.

There was also an area that Jiang Muyun had marked out, where a pile of huge plastic lunch boxes were placed, which contained the meals she had ordered from the restaurant.

This time, ordering food from the small restaurant gave Jiang Muyun inspiration.

After the apocalypse, fuel was also a scarce commodity. Even if she managed to stockpile a large amount of fuel in advance, the smell of cooking in a crowded area could easily become her death warrant.

If she were to buy the ingredients and cook them herself, she would only have one month before the end of the world and two or three months at the beginning of the world when people still had enough food.

This also excludes the time she spends buying supplies.

I really don't have the free time.

Rather than risking your life to cook later, or having to look at a pile of supplies but not eat them, it is better to spend more money now and stock up on a certain amount of cooked food to get through the initial crowd gathering.

When order completely collapses, she can simply avoid the crowd and become a lone ranger like in her previous life.

It's just that there's no one to chat with and I feel really suffocated.

So spiritual food must be prepared! Jiang Muyun thought that she hadn't found the ending of the novel she read in her previous life. She would go back and see if she could find it by searching the protagonist's name.

Jiang Muyun spent half an hour storing all her work for the entire day into the space, then turned and left the warehouse, locking the door quietly.

Jiang Muyun returned to the guesthouse and forced himself to go to bed.

The next morning, seeing that there was no one at the front desk, she left her room key on the table, left a note for the boss, and set off for home with her luggage.

The items purchased in the West Market seemed to be in large quantities, but on Jiang Muyun's shopping list, they were just the most basic and most convenient parts to buy.

Her stockpiling plan had just begun, and there was still a lot of work waiting for her. According to the national broadcast at the beginning of the apocalypse, the cold wind that swept across the world was detected in late September.

It only took a few days to brew before it spread out in all directions, dragging the entire blue planet into the vortex of doomsday.

Jiang Muyun wanted to purchase supplies in large quantities, and the safest time was before late September, when the abnormal air mass had not been noticed.

There was a lot to do, but fortunately she was going home.
