"Jian Ning, are you angry with me? I know I've been worried about you ever since you fell into the water."

"Sweetie! Stop being childish. Give us an address, and Miao Xin and I will come see you tomorrow," Li Mingxuan said gently.

"Thank you, but there's really no need for that." Jian Ning's tone was icy as she hung up the phone. She sat down quietly and it took her a while to calm her resentment.

I opened a group-buying app on my phone. Fresh vegetables, rice, flour, and cooking oil were all very cheap there. A 50-pound bag of Qixing wheat flour was on sale for only 101.99 yuan, but unfortunately, there was a purchase limit of five bags at a time.

The brand's long-grain fragrant rice, 50 jin (25 catties), was priced at 128.9 yuan. There was no purchase limit, so she bought twenty bags. Peanut oil, 5 liters per bottle, was priced at 148 yuan, so she also bought ten bottles. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to deliver any more than that in one truckload.

I ordered ten portions of every kind of green vegetable that was on sale for a low price.

She paid and used the 20 RMB off coupon for purchases over 199 RMB three times, saving 60 RMB, which is enough for her food tomorrow.

Having bought the grain, I felt more at ease. Seeing that it was still early, I went downstairs to a nearby noodle shop and had a bowl of beef noodles.

Although the shop is small, the beef they use is brisket with ten tendons and membranes, and a good balance of fat and lean meat.

The noodles were incredibly springy and chewy, and the beef brisket was tender yet had a satisfying chewiness from the tendons. The soup was truly delicious and flavorful!

The side dishes included bok choy, carrots, and tomatoes, which Jian Ning particularly liked, and the price was also very reasonable.

There were delivery riders waiting to pack the food.

Jian Ning's eyes lit up. There was nowhere to eat such delicious beef noodles during the apocalypse. She gestured to the proprietress and asked, "Boss, how many servings of noodles can you make a day?"

"Oh dear, that's hard to say. On average, it must be several hundred servings a day. Why are you asking about this, young lady?" The proprietress looked at her with some suspicion. Could she be someone sent by a competitor to scout out the market?

"I'd like to order a thousand servings of these noodles. I wonder if that's possible?" Jian Ning asked with a smile.

"Sure, but little girl, what do you need so many servings of noodles for? You can't possibly finish them all."

"Oh, I ordered this for my classmates at school. Our school is organizing an event in a few days, and we won't have time to cook lunch. So we have to order takeout."

"Boss, your noodles are especially delicious. I thought my classmates would love them too, so I'm thinking of ordering from you. It's a good way to advertise, isn't it?"

"Oh my! Young lady, you have a good eye. I'm not bragging, my old man has been making ramen for most of his life, and his skills are absolutely top-notch."

"But you want a thousand servings in one lunch break, we can't possibly make that. As you can see, this is just a small shop, and we have to run our own business. We can't just make food for you all the time, can we?"

"Yes, in that case, I'm not sure about the exact number of people yet. I'll come back and discuss it with you once I've decided." Jian Ning wasn't sure if her space could preserve the food, so she didn't dare to say anything too definitive.

"Okay, young lady, you're patronizing my business. I'll give you the noodles for free today." The proprietress was very generous and waived the bill for Jian Ning.

Thank you, I will get you an accurate answer as soon as possible.

Jian Ning didn't stand on ceremony with her. After finishing her meal, she quickly went upstairs to check her space. The frozen meat was still frozen solid.

It's been almost two hours since it was put in, and it looks like the things inside will stay exactly as they were, which is great!

So the next day after breakfast, I went downstairs to the noodle shop and ordered 2,000 servings of ramen. We agreed that I would pick up 500 servings at noon three days later, and the rest could be picked up over the next three days.

Then I went to a car dealership and rented a passenger van with a box, which is convenient for carrying things.

Although Jian Ning doesn't know how to drive, the original owner of this body got her driver's license when she was a freshman in college and often went out to work as a designated driver at night.

Relying on my memory, I got in the car and gave it a try, quickly getting the hang of it. I drove really fast as soon as I hit the road, but at an intersection I was stopped by a traffic policeman who checked my driver's license and gave me a good talking-to.

Jian Ning didn't dare to drive too recklessly for the rest of the way, and carefully followed the navigation on her phone to the largest agricultural wholesale market in the area.

She headed straight for the seafood section. She loved eating seafood the most and wanted to stock up on it, otherwise, when the apocalypse came, the seafood would mutate and become inedible.

Crabs, scallops, oysters, prawns, mantis shrimp, clams, and mackerel—two hundred pounds of each!

Aside from the mackerel that die as soon as they're taken out to sea, I only bought the lively ones. Maybe they'll even breed if I put them in the river in my space. Anyway, there are males and females, so I can look forward to it a little.

These items cost over 40,000 yuan. The rest were okay, but the crabs were the biggest expense, costing 120 yuan per jin (500g). The crab claws were tied with heavy rubber bands, making them quite heavy.

However, vendors in the market still sell them this way, and they don't even put them in thick red plastic bags, so it's quite appropriate.

After paying, the merchants helped load all the seafood onto their boxes. Once the delivery person left, with a thought, everything went into the jade pendant's space.

Jian Ning followed her in and dumped all the live seafood into the river.

To her surprise, the river water automatically divided into several square grids, and the seafood swam in their own grids according to their species, without disturbing each other.

Moreover, the rubber bands on the crab claws had automatically snapped and been recycled, and no one knew where they went. Looking at these crabs, claws outstretched and crawling everywhere...

Overjoyed, Jian Ning couldn't help but put her hands on her hips and laugh loudly three times. Then, in a flash, she went out to shop.

This time she went to the fruit section, and bought 50 boxes of each of the following varieties: ginseng fruit, pineapple, durian, cherry, cantaloupe, kiwi, watermelon, apple, and pear.

Durian, in particular, was the original owner's favorite fruit, so she ordered two hundred boxes. It took four or five trips with a cargo van to transport them all.

These fruits weren't cheap; they cost her over 200,000 yuan.

Then she went to the pork shop to ask where she could buy pork. The vendor, seeing her sweet talk, kept calling her "brother" and gave her not only the address but also a phone number for ordering.

So Jian Ning bought up most of the remaining half of a pig from his stall, along with the ribs and trotters.

I went to the grain store to inquire about the price of rice and flour, but it wasn't as cheap as on a certain online marketplace. So I only bought some mixed grains; we can't just eat rice and wheat flour all the time. Coarse grains are a must too.

I also asked the lady who sells grain where the seeds were sold. It wasn't far from here, so I went over and bought ten catties of everything, including not only grains but also seeds for all kinds of vegetables, just in case.
