Chapter 2 Hot Pot, Barbecue, Fried Noodles, Rice, Grain, and Oil…

The proprietress had no doubts about this and thought it made sense. She planned to discuss it with her husband later and buy more goods to store in the small warehouse at home.

Jiang Rong left the grocery store and walked towards the frozen products wholesale department at the other end, thinking about what he wanted to buy.

My younger brother likes barbecue and hotpot.

I like to eat mutton.

Grandma likes to eat fish.

The second half of the street is all frozen food wholesale, but the sizes of the stores are not uniform. Some are only a small room, some are two rooms connected in the middle, and the largest one has three rooms.

Jiang Rong didn't hesitate and went straight into the largest one.

At first the boss didn't pay much attention to her because she was young. Then, after watching her shopping for a long time, looking here and there, he came over and asked her what she wanted.

At this time, Jiang Rong returned to the frozen barbecue ingredients area where he had first visited.

"100 bags each of tenderloin, bone-in meat, chicken wings, chicken fillet, beef fillet, pork belly, lamb skewers, and beef skewers, and 30 bags each of the rest." Jiang Rong didn't buy much barbecue, mainly to satisfy her brother's preference. Even if she wanted to eat it, unless it was inconvenient on weekdays, she would prefer to make ready-made ones as long as there were fresh ingredients.

Then Jiang Rong came to the hot pot ingredients area.

"1,000 boxes of fat lamb rolls, 3,000 boxes of fat beef rolls, and 3,000 boxes of duck blood. 300 kilograms of other meatballs each." Jiang Rong himself particularly likes the smooth texture of duck blood, and thought that it might not be so easy to eat it in the future, so he bought some more.

The rest are some normal hot pot ingredients. Besides, she prefers to buy fresh ones from farms or aquatic centers, and then cook them herself when she has free time.

Anyway, there will be no such thing as work in the future. Every day is a holiday, of course, the premise is that you have to be alive.

"100 bags each of quick-frozen dumplings, quick-frozen glutinous rice balls, quick-frozen buns, and quick-frozen wontons." Jiang Rong doesn't like these kinds of quick-frozen products very much, so he didn't buy many.

The boss following Jiang Rong was a middle-aged man. When he heard that Jiang Rong was reporting more and more orders, he consciously took out a black notebook from the big pocket of his apron and started to take notes.

"1,000 boxes of steak and lamb chops each."

"Oh, by the way, is there a discount if I buy more? Is it free delivery?" Jiang Rong, who had made a purchase once, asked with experience.

"Yes." The boss agreed readily.

Jiang Rong nodded and continued.

"200 kilograms of frozen shrimp and 200 kilograms of frozen crabs."

In Jiang Rong's memory, at the end of the world there was a kind of mutant crab that was edible, and it was big and plump, but it was not easy to catch, and if you were not careful, you would kill yourself with it.

"500 bags of chicken drumsticks, 300 bags of chicken thighs. 150 bags of chicken wing tips, 200 bags of chicken wings. 500 bags of chicken feet. 300 bags of duck legs, 150 bags of duck wings. 500 bags of duck paws." No one in their family seemed to like eating chicken wings. Jiang Rong was away from home all year round, and only when she occasionally went home would she make cola chicken wings for her younger brother Jiang Suan.

In addition, she likes to eat the braised duck feet made by her grandmother. The taste is amazing and she can eat them all day long.

After that, Jiang Rong bought some other things, but most of them ranged from a few bags to more than ten bags. Anyway, after the discount, the total cost was about one million yuan.

They also paid the deposit, exchanged phone numbers and addresses, and then Jiang Rong left.

In general, she didn’t buy too many frozen foods. She was still looking forward to the next few places and online shopping. She wanted to eat all the food she didn’t get to eat in her last life!!!

Of course, stockpiling food is only the first step.

There are also many other things to buy, such as daily necessities, clothes, medicines, various solar electronic products, weapons, etc.

It would be great if you could get a few pairs of glasses with different degrees of diopter, and also a device to measure the diopter of the glasses.

I will renovate the house when I return.

Among the many natural disasters in the previous life, the nationwide earthquake was enough to make those living in the city suffer. In addition, various mutant beasts also flocked into the city and hid in the buildings that humans had built. In the later period, it was common for the two sides to fight each other for territory.

Naturally, Jiang Rong would never want to get involved again in his life.

Besides, grandma probably doesn't want to leave her hometown.

Anyway, her best option is to go home and farm, so she has to stock up on some soil...

Of course, when the situation becomes desperate and you need to take your family away, you have to run away, so a car and gasoline are also essential. You can also prepare a few bicycles, tricycles, motorcycles, etc., maybe they will be useful in the future.

Jiang Rong’s mind is now full of shopping.

Before I bought it, I thought it was just so-so, but when I really started buying it, all kinds of things I wanted to buy popped up in my mind one after another.

By the time Jiang Rong walked out of the frozen food wholesale department, it was probably past 12 o'clock, and Jiang Rong felt a little hungry at this time.

She found a noodle soup shop on a small residential road at the fork in the street and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodle soup, a bowl of vegetable and egg fried noodles, and seaweed and shrimp wontons.

Then he happily ate three bowls in a row. He felt very full and extremely satisfied.

The main reason was that she hadn't eaten anything so decent for a long time.

In the late stage of the apocalypse, if there is really nothing to eat, people may just eat snow, drink dirty water, or chew tree bark. Only when they are lucky, they may be able to have a good meal with the combined efforts of several people.

The team that Jiang Rong is in is a relatively weak escape team, and Jiang Rong's special ability is purification.

A very, very useless superpower, at least for low-level superpower users.

She can purify the corrosiveness in the air.

But at this point, there were almost no psychics who needed her purification, and they could basically get through it on their own.

So her role in the team is basically equivalent to that of a "tenacious" ordinary person.

This will naturally cause dissatisfaction among some people.

Jiang Rong recalled the figures of those people who abandoned her and left her to be eaten by the mutant beasts that chased after them, and then drove away in the car. Her originally calm eyes gradually became fierce.

"Boss, can you sell your noodle soup, fried noodles, and wontons for takeout?"

There are two or three guys in the store, but the one who really calls the shots is a man in his sixties.

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"500 servings of noodle soup, 500 servings of fried noodles, and 1,000 servings of wontons." Jiang Rong reported the numbers. She herself likes fried noodles, Jiang Suan likes noodle soup, and wontons are more suitable for her grandmother.

"Okay, but the quantity is too large. Do you think it's okay to divide it into five batches?"

"Okay." Jiang Rong estimated that he still had many days before leaving, which should be enough if we count from today.

After giving the instructions, Jiang Rong stood up and returned to the place where she had been in the morning. In just a short while, the news of her big spending had spread here, and many shop owners came out with curiosity and excitement when they saw her.

Not to mention, although this little girl looks young, gentle and quiet, she is really quick in her actions.

This is clear money.

However, anyone with an eye could guess that she visited the grocery store and the frozen food wholesale department in the morning, and went to the grain processing plant in the afternoon.

Therefore, before Jiang Rong took the initiative to find a suitable store, someone came over and started talking to her.

"We have everything you want to buy."

This time, the person who came forward to speak was a young woman who looked very shrewd.

"I want a lot." Jiang Rong responded indifferently.

"No problem, as long as you want." The woman answered confidently.

The other shop owners saw their business being cut away and felt a little annoyed that they had not gone up to ask earlier.

Jiang Rong nodded slightly and signaled the woman to lead the way.

"Which type of rice do you have the best quality?" Jiang Rong asked.

Because rice is usually packaged in 20-jin, 50-jin and 100-jin quantities, she has to determine which one it is so that she can estimate how many bags she should buy.

"Come with me."

The space here is much larger than the previous frozen wholesale department, and various grain, flour, oil and bean products are displayed around.

Anyway, what Jiang Rong has seen so far include corn, rice, oats, millet, black rice, buckwheat, brown rice, glutinous rice, barley rice and sesame.

There are many kinds of flour, and Jiang Rong doesn’t know all of them.

Next is beans, which she is more familiar with.

The ones we have seen so far include soybeans, red beans, black beans, mung beans, cowpeas, lentils and adzuki beans.

There are also peanuts and lotus seeds.

Jiang Rong thought about it and realized that he did not see these things at the grocery store in the morning. He did not expect that they were all put here for sale.

Jiang Rong had never been here before, so she didn't know there were so many things sold here. These are just what she has seen so far.

"This Wuchang rice has a fragrance and weighs 100 jin per bag. It costs 700 yuan. How much do you want? If you want more, we can give you a discount." The woman said with a smile. Of course, she hoped to have as much as possible.

"10,000 bags." That is one million kilograms of rice.

An adult consumes about 20 to 30 kilograms of rice per month. Jiang Rong assumed 30 kilograms, which means 360 kilograms per year. There are three people in her family, so she calculated it based on a mature young adult, which means 1,080 kilograms per year. If she calculates it for 100 years, that would be 108,000 kilograms.

By this calculation, their family could only eat more than 100,000 kilograms in their lifetime, but what she planned to buy was far beyond what they could consume.

Jiang Rong had other plans for all these.

"It's indeed a lot." said the young woman in surprise.

"We need 500 kilograms of each of the other beans and 1,000 kilograms of soybeans." Jiang Rong was too lazy to list them one by one, so he just gave a number. It was enough as long as it was enough to eat.

"As for rice, we need 500 kilograms each."

"There are 1,000 kilograms of white flour and 300 kilograms of the other things."

"How much is the oil?" Jiang Rong asked finally.

"A barrel of soybean oil costs 70 yuan, a barrel of peanut oil costs 90 yuan, a barrel of rapeseed oil costs 140 yuan, and a barrel of sesame oil costs 200 yuan. The capacity is 5 liters."

Jiang Rong thought for a moment after hearing this.

"1,000 barrels of soybean oil, 700 barrels of rapeseed oil, 500 barrels of peanut oil, and 300 barrels of sesame oil." She remembered that rapeseed oil was better for the elderly and was less likely to cause internal heat. Anyway, her family ate mostly rapeseed oil in her previous life.

The next step is still to wait for the quotation.

About a few minutes later.

"After the discount, it's about 6,233,000 yuan."

Jiang Rong nodded, then estimated in his mind how much money he had spent.

After I figured it out, I immediately started to feel bad for my wallet.

Jiang Rong originally thought that 23 million was a lot, but now she suddenly felt that it was just a drop in the bucket. She still had a lot of things to buy, but in just one day she had already spent more than a third of it...

Why didn’t she stock up more before?
