Apocalyptic Stockpiling Survival Life

Jiang Muyun struggled for ten years in the apocalypse. Her biggest regret was not seeing the ending of a novel. She had salvaged dozens of middle pages from the ruins after an earthquake; she could...

Chapter 8

◎Happy eighth day: The holy land of stockpiling - Light Industrial Park◎

The door installer worked very quickly, and when Qin Shiwen came back from get off work, he found that the door opposite had changed.

Jiang Muyun had just packed up a pile of unusable plastic bags and was about to go downstairs to throw away the garbage when he ran into Qin Shiwen.

Qin Shiwen looked at the ugly iron gate and almost touched Jiang Muyun's head: "Hey, kid, what's wrong with your door?"

Jiang Muyun immediately got into the mood: "I've been feeling a little insecure lately. I saw this door on the street yesterday and bought it for some unknown reason."

Qin Shiwen had some yellow croaker in the evening, but it was so spicy that he didn't even leave any for himself.

Together with the table full of obviously expensive dishes, they were all piled in front of Jiang Muyun.

Jiang Muyun could see Qin Shiwen's love for her as she posed while transferring the takeaway dishes to the plate.

Jiang Muyun ate with relish under Qin Shiwen's loving gaze, and finally went home with a full belly.

In the evening, Jiang Muyun placed orders and paid for a large number of supplies that needed to be purchased online. He then ran downstairs and strolled around for several laps. He watched the old men play chess next to the fitness equipment for a while before he finally digested most of the food.

Jiang Muyun decided that when he got home he would download some single-player games and save them, and also buy some board games like Three Kingdoms Kill, so as to cherish all the time that humans still had the energy to find entertainment.

The next day, Jiang Muyun set the alarm clock and got up early.

Today she wore the most ordinary white T-shirt, tied her hair into a high ponytail, put on plain glasses and a mask, drove her damaged van, and went to the southern suburbs of the city.

This area is the light industrial park of Nanshi City, which has everything from garment factories to home appliance factories, and all kinds of daily necessities.

Her current inventory is enough to keep her from starving, so she needs to focus on her health. After buying these necessities, the extra funds she has will be used to stock up on fried chicken, drinks, and crayfish.

The first place Jiang Muyun went to was a newly opened plastic processing factory that the restaurant owner mentioned yesterday.

Jiang Muyun needs a large number of plastic boxes of various sizes that meet food packaging standards.

From small food boxes where she would pack the cooked food in the future, to large water tanks where she would store water.

There are also plastic film sheets of various thicknesses, plastic bags of various sizes, and various disposable products such as disposable gloves.

All the things added up have to be calculated in tons.

The amount she requested was actually embarrassing.

In the eyes of big companies, it is a small order. If you want it, just follow the procedures and queue up, and wait as long as you need to.

However, the product range of small factories may not be so complete.

Jiang Muyun would either buy the goods in several batches or ask each factory one by one to see if there were any that could ship the goods quickly.

But this newly opened factory is different.

It is quite large in scale, but since it is newly opened, the order volume is not large.

After Jiang Muyun explained his purpose, the factory manager readily accepted the order and said that the goods could be shipped within a week.

After solving the most troublesome part, Jiang Muyun began to visit factories one by one.

First, the garment factory.

According to Jiang Muyun's purchasing method and needs, clothing factories only calculate weight and not piecework, so Jiang Muyun can only make purchases based on estimates.

Nearly ten thousand sets of underwear, plus the disposable underwear she will buy later, are enough for her to wear for a lifetime.

Jiang Muyun also ordered about 10,000 sets of long-sleeved singlets and loose trousers made of soft and breathable fabric.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to buy short-sleeved shirts, but after the apocalypse, there are almost no days with normal weather.

High temperatures mean not only scorching heat, but also strong sunlight and countless mosquitoes.

When the high temperature first appeared, Jiang Muyun was pushed down on the concrete road under the sunlight.

In just a few seconds, a layer of skin was burned off the outside of her right arm.

After waiting for a long time for a hot summer season with rain, people were almost driven to collapse by the overwhelming mosquitoes.

She should just be honest and buy long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

Jiang Muyun's requirements were minimal: half of the tops had to be light-colored, and half dark-colored, and all the trousers had to be dark-colored.

The salesperson who received Jiang Muyun nodded and also said that the order could be placed quickly.

Perhaps because Jiang Muyun had no requirements for the color or pattern of the clothes, the salesperson asked tentatively, "Our factory previously had a batch of custom-made trousers made in the wrong color. I can guarantee that they are not defective. Are you interested in taking a look? We can give you the cost price."

Jiang Muyun was overjoyed.

Of course she was interested!

The salesperson immediately took Jiang Muyun to the warehouse with a smile on his face.

After seeing the sample, Jiang Muyun understood why the manufacturer offered it at a low price.

There are about 8,000 pairs of trousers in this batch, all of which are dark khaki.

The trousers are all elastic, with elastic at the cuffs as well, and are available in sizes from XS to XXL for both men and women.

There is a khaki logo printed on the top of the trouser legs, which almost blends in with the trousers themselves. No wonder people don’t want them.

The quality of these trousers was better than the ones Jiang Muyun had originally planned to order, and the legs were longer than normal.

Jiang Muyun is considered tall among women, at 1.74 meters, and she can wear most sizes of these trousers.

Even if the XS and S sizes are too short, she can cut the hems and wear them as shorts at home.

After asking about the price, Jiang Muyun immediately decided to take them all.

The salesperson was overjoyed.

Before she could be happy for three seconds, Jiang Muyun said, just cross out the trousers from her order, this batch is enough.

The salesman's smile froze on his face.

But after Jiang Muyun packed up the factory's winter clothing stock, the salesperson's smile became lively again.

After the end of the world, there is almost no spring or autumn, and Jiang Muyun has no plans to prepare clothes for spring and autumn.

In Jiang Muyun's memory, the climate of the end of the world was characterized by drought for several years and floods for several years, cold for several years and hot for several years, and there was never a normal time.

Summer single clothes have to be purchased in large quantities because there is no water during droughts and they cannot be dried during floods. You can only wait for the rainy season to use space to store water, and then take them out for washing and drying during the dry season.

As for the winter when the average temperature is minus 60 to 70 degrees Celsius, cotton coats and sweaters are just matching clothes. For Jiang Muyun, who can't afford mink, her main source of cold protection is still polar cold-proof clothing.

When Jiang Muyun was shopping, he saw some home clothes placed nearby.

Although she knew that these clothes were not practical, she was still shamefully moved by the soft touch.

Just buy a few sets! Can't I wear them at home during the early days of the apocalypse?

Fortunately, Jiang Muyun's order quantity was not small. When Jiang Muyun asked to buy a few sets of home clothes, the salesperson asked her to choose from the pile of samples and packed the ones she chose for her.

Jiang Muyun felt that he had made money again.

Jiang Muyun went out happily and went to the next house.

Next to the garment factory is a textile factory.

Jiang Muyun bought a lot of cotton towels, bed sheets, quilt covers, and some untreated blackout fabrics.

The quantity she wanted was small, so the factory refused to deliver.

Fortunately, Jiang Muyun came by car. Although her van was shabby, it could hold a lot of things.

Because Jiang Muyun only wanted solid colors and had no requirements for patterns, the textile factory counted the goods for her on the spot and asked Jiang Muyun to load them onto a truck and take them away.

The person who counted the goods for Jiang Muyun was a middle-aged female worker. According to her, she had been working in this factory for almost twenty years.

Jiang Muyun immediately became interested in talking.

By the time all the sheets and quilt covers Jiang Muyun wanted were loaded onto the truck, she also successfully obtained the mobile phone numbers of some employees of small bedding factories, hat factories, and shoe factories from the middle-aged female worker.

The middle-aged female worker said that as long as she mentioned her name, her friends would let Jiang Muyun get the goods at the internal price.

Of course Jiang Muyun couldn't just believe everything others said.

She first went to another factory to get a rough idea of ​​the prices, and then dialed the number given to her by the middle-aged female worker.

After asking around, Jiang Muyun finally understood what this "internal price" was.

In fact, the so-called "internal price" is simply the specialty products of some small private factories, which is set to encourage employees to spontaneously attract customers to the factory.

It is slightly more expensive than the price offered to big customers, but Jiang Muyun wants less, so this price is cheaper than if Jiang Muyun went to order it himself.

Employees who introduce customers to the factory can get more bonuses, which can help the factory win over the employees and also accumulate some profits.

Jiang Muyun happily ordered fifty thick quilts and mattresses weighing ten kilograms each, and one hundred sun hats.

The bedding factory agreed to deliver the goods, but she had to pick up the sun hat herself.

As for shoes, she has relatively high requirements for quality, and small factories may not be able to have what she wants, so Jiang Muyun plans to try her luck at a shoe factory herself.
