The Rookie Returns: Soaring in the Apocalypse

On the brink of the apocalypse, Zuo Ling is brought back to her distant relatives' Ding family and safely survives countless disasters through the chaos.

However, on the verge of death, s...

Chapter 54 Are you out of your mind?

She wasn't greedy; if she weren't afraid of betraying the kiln owner's trust, she would have loved to clear out all the inventory.

The item might see the light of day again if it's in her possession; if it's left here, it'll be destroyed sooner or later by a series of natural disasters.

I look at the glaze, but I don't know how to use it.

Unwilling to be a spendthrift, he took one bag of each type of paint.

He locked the warehouse door, threw the key into the yard, and left with a flourish.

Licheng is located on the southwestern border of Dianzhou. You have to cross Dianzhou to reach Licheng.

Zuo Ling spent her journey stockpiling either water or goods.

Yunnan Baiyao, which is used to treat sprains and bruises, is a must-have item to stock up on. Whenever I pass through a slightly larger town, I will go to the pharmacy to buy Yunnan Baiyao.

Legend has it that 2,000 jin of kudzu root powder, a key ingredient in Yunnan Baiyao, were stockpiled.

I've stocked up on quite a bit of the famous Chinese medicinal herbs from Yunnan, including Wenshan Panax notoginseng, Yunnan Paris polyphylla, Yunnan Gentiana scabra, Erigeron breviscapus, Coptis chinensis, Aucklandia lappa, Gastrodia elata, Dendrobium officinale, Amomum villosum, Angelica sinensis, and Poria cocos.

The medicine alone cost another 500,000 yuan.

When they came across bamboo-tube wine, the waterfall couldn't resist the aroma.

I heard it's a famous product from Yunnan Province and has a certain reputation in the domestic wine industry.

Zuo Ling, being incredibly extravagant, bought 10,000 tubes, and the person who bought them was so happy that they practically jumped on Zuo Ling's leg.

Where there's alcohol, there must be cigarettes.

In the apocalypse, cigarettes were extremely scarce. Many high-ranking officials and nobles who maintained a high-class and respectable lifestyle in the early stages of the apocalypse were willing to pay a price that ordinary people could hardly imagine for a pack of cigarettes.

Hongtashan, Yuxi, Ashima, Honghe, and Yunyan cigarettes have stockpiled a total of 5 million yuan worth of goods.

At this point, the money given by the Ding family was all spent, and not only spent, but exceeded the limit by more than 3 million.

From now on, all the money she spends will be earned by Zuo Ling herself.

There should be cigarettes, alcohol, and tea.

I have 100,000 yuan worth of Pu'er tea from Yunnan province.

I bought smaller tea cakes, which are convenient for both personal consumption and trading with others.

Zuo Ling doesn't like drinking Pu'er tea; she prefers black tea, so she doesn't stock up on much.

I originally thought that there was no black tea in Yunnan, but when I happened to pass by a tea shop and went in to ask, I found out that not only did they have black tea, but Yunnan black tea was even ranked first among Chinese teas.

Zuo Ling felt ashamed; poverty breeds ignorance, and the old saying was absolutely true.

I spent 100,000 yuan on Pu'er tea that I don't even like, so I'd have to spend at least 300,000 yuan on black tea that I do like.

Upon arriving in Yunnan, Zuo Ling, being a carnivore, naturally couldn't miss Xuanwei ham.

Fearing that he would buy counterfeit goods, he went to four or five large supermarkets in a row before finally managing to stock up on more than 2 million yuan worth of goods.

Although Xuanwei ham is famous, it is expensive and not many people buy it, so supermarkets don't have much stock.

The supermarket manager said they could arrange for the goods to be delivered immediately, but Zuo Ling declined because she was pressed for time and it was inconvenient for her to wait.

Yunnan small-bean coffee has shown strong momentum in recent years, and it is poised to surpass foreign coffee varieties.

Zuo Ling's heart condition is uncomfortable after drinking coffee, but that doesn't stop her from stocking up on it—after all, she's rich.

500,000 small-bean coffees, that's the minimum.

I also bought a few new coffee makers. I may not drink coffee, but the equipment must be high-end and classy.

Money is the source of Zuo Ling's confidence to do whatever she wants.
