Passing by a T-shirt factory, my eyes were drawn to the matching T-shirts worn by the mannequins in the showroom.

Dozens of patterns are available, with cuffs, collars, hems, and trouser hems all adorned with traditional embroidery, creating a fresh and unique look.

No girl doesn't love beauty, and although Zuo Ling doesn't care much about clothing, she was still attracted by the manufacturer's designs.

Without hesitation, I bought a whole box of all colors and sizes that fit me.

There are sets and individual pieces; enough for her to wear for several lifetimes.

Zuo Ling knew that in the apocalypse, girls should avoid wearing bright and eye-catching clothes.

For a long time, the clothes she bought were mostly ordinary and unremarkable.

But she loved the designer's ingenuity so much that she couldn't resist wearing it outside; she could still look beautiful at home.

Zuo Ling bought a lot of bedding to keep warm, but almost none to combat the extreme heat.

Most rice manufacturers prefer a front shop and back factory layout.

The bright hall, with its exhibits on display, offers an excellent visual experience.

Ice silk cooling mat three-piece set, latex cooling mat three-piece set, air conditioning quilt, summer quilt, double-sided summer quilt... the names are varied, but the purpose is to tell consumers, if you want to stay cool, choose me.

They didn't disappoint; all sorts of styles and designs filled the entire carriage.

Even spending money can be tiring. While standing by the roadside in a daze, I spotted a stall selling red-stamped steamed buns.

Many customers either filled their bowls with braised pork or with vegetarian dishes such as shredded bamboo shoots, shredded potatoes, or bean sprouts.

Find a street corner or a shady spot under a tree, chew your food heartily, and after a few bites, down half a bottle of mineral water, pat your belly, feeling content and satisfied.

Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Zuo Ling bought two stuffed with braised pork and one stuffed with shredded bamboo shoots.

Red Seal Steamed Buns are sweet with a hint of sourness, fluffy and soft yet chewy, and don't stick to your teeth. They also have the tender and savory aroma of braised pork.

One bite, and your mouth is filled with oil, the aroma spreading between your teeth.

I bought all 500-plus red-stamped steamed buns left on the stall.

Zuo Ling is a carnivore. She first picked up braised pork, and when that wasn't enough, she picked up shredded bamboo shoots and shredded potatoes.

The vendors were happy to be able to close up shop early, and Zuo Ling was happy to have found another delicious dish.

Another striking impression Zuo Ling had of the rice-growing region was the abundance of electric bicycles and gasoline-powered motorcycles for sale.

Considering the collision of tectonic plates, constant earthquakes, and the roads being destroyed, it's time to buy some electric bicycles and gasoline-powered motorcycles as backup.

Choose a well-known domestic brand, drive the van to the store entrance, and repeat the same message.

Glancing at the van outside, the saleswoman asked, "Ma'am, are you serious?"

"certainly."

The salesperson tentatively asked, "With the rearview mirror, pedals, handlebars, and seat removed, you can fit quite a lot inside."

"Don't break it while disassembling it. All parts are essential. Don't take it apart carelessly."

After confirming several times and seeing that Zuo Ling didn't seem to be lying, the salesperson closed the store door halfway and several salespeople loaded Zuo Ling's car at the same time.

The store just received a shipment of new goods, dozens of vehicles still in their boxes, which were loaded directly onto the truck.

Disassembled and reassembled, with rearview mirrors, pedals, handlebars, seat, etc. removed...

The salespeople chuckled and said:

"Sister, it's lucky you came half a day earlier. If you had come half a day later, the packing boxes would have been dealt with, and it would have been difficult to pack them."

After a series of maneuvers, placing them horizontally, vertically, and lying down... they managed to squeeze in 100 units.

The salesperson gave me a 10% discount and gave me two sets of disassembly and assembly tools, several bottles of machine oil and lubricant, plus a USB flash drive with disassembly and assembly video.

Zuo Ling bought a lot, mainly because there would be nowhere to repair cars in the apocalypse.

Even someone who knows how to fix cars can't fix them without the tools and materials.

She's clumsy and can't fix things even with tools and materials, so she can only win by sheer quantity.

The gasoline-powered motorcycle is large; even after removing the rearview mirrors, there's not much room left, and it doesn't even have its outer packaging.

The salesperson tried to squeeze in 35 units, which made Zuo Ling feel sorry for him.

"No, no, stop squeezing, you'll ruin the paint."

The customer complained, and the salesperson had no choice but to give up.

Settlement, 30 units.

After buying the motorcycle, the Stone City Stone Gambling Convention is about to begin.

Day 61 of the doomsday countdown: We leave the rice village and enter the territory of the fish village, Stone City.

First, I went to a bathhouse to wash myself and the waterfall from head to toe. Then I found a street stall with a lot of customers and bought a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup and two steamers of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

Fearing that the waterfall would attract a crowd, Zuo Ling let it stay in her backpack and eat steamed buns.

Dissatisfied with the waterfall, it pointed its paws at the duck blood vermicelli soup and tilted its head to look at Zuo Ling.

What do you mean, why didn't you give me that?

He tapped it on the head and scolded, "You never suffer a loss."

The waterfall swayed its long ears and hummed.

"Don't you know how conspicuous you are? I'll buy you one in a bit, you can eat it in the car."

As long as there's food, the waterfall rolled its eyes and stopped whining.

After finishing our meal, we bought a duck blood and vermicelli soup for the waterfall. One person and one rabbit, we strolled around as we pleased.

Smelling the aroma, I'll order a plate of beef potstickers and two plates of sausage-like fried pork belly.

Salted duck... I'll pass on salted duck.

I've bought salted duck a few times, but I've never wanted to eat it again. Its bland appearance just doesn't suit Zuo Ling's taste.

I bought a few skewers of stinky tofu and fed them to Waterfall. As soon as Waterfall smelled them, its rabbit face turned to the side, and its disgusted look was all too obvious.

Zuo Ling laughed, "There are also things you don't like to eat."

Passing by a pastry shop, I thought that people in the fishing village love sweets, so the pastry shops on the main street must be pretty good.

I ordered 100 cream cakes and some ready-made pastries from the store.

The waterfall stretched out its paw and pointed at a delicate cream cup through the glass, indicating that it wanted to eat.

I bought two different patterns, one for each of us.

When my feet started to hurt from walking, I saw a stall selling pork belly noodles on the street.

The glistening pork skin floats on the spicy red broth; just looking at it is enough to make your mouth water.
