There are no fruit tree seedlings for sale at this time, so I'll have to order them online when I get back. Even though it's past the time for planting fruit tree seedlings, I still have to buy them, otherwise it will really cause trouble.

These fruits may not seem like much, but because we bought so many different kinds, wow, it cost over 30,000 yuan in total! Most people really can't afford that!

Just like the previous two days, I drove to the suburbs where I could earn money before going to the market.

The seed shop opened, and I went in and asked the owner, "Do you have wheat, rice, corn, millet, or sorghum seeds?"

"Yes, but now is not the time to plant millet and sorghum."

"It's alright, I don't need much."

"Alright then, how much do you want?"

"Just weigh out 10 jin (5 catties) of each of these items for me."

"OK"

While the shop owner was weighing the beans, I walked around the store and saw a lot of seeds. After the owner finished weighing them, I ordered 20 jin of each of the following: soybeans, broad beans, red beans, mung beans, yellow beans, black beans, cowpeas, peas, sword beans, lentils, green beans, edamame, black-eyed peas, winged beans, and kidney beans.

Seeing that there were still vegetable seeds available, I also ordered radishes, carrots, turnips, rutabagas, turnips, root beets, yam beans, kudzu, bok choy, mustard greens, spinach, celery, amaranth, head cabbage, cabbage, Malabar spinach, water spinach, cauliflower, daylily, broccoli, purple vine, artichokes, eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, okra, bell peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins, winter melons, loofahs, cucumbers, bottle gourds, and snake gourds. I ordered 20 packs of each of these, each pack weighing less than an ounce, but all of these can be saved for seed.

I know how to grow some of these vegetable seeds, but I don't. That's not a problem though. I can download the planting instructions when I get back and find them when I need to learn.

We received 50 jin of each of the following: sweet potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, yams, garlic, onions, scallions, shallots, chives, pickled scallions, and garlic scapes.

This isn't difficult. I've seen how to grow some of these things since I was a child. The only problem is that I was too naughty when I was young, and growing these things was too tiring for me. But anyway, if I know how, then it won't be difficult for me.

Finally, I even saw some wild vegetable seeds. It suddenly occurred to me that these wild vegetables could be life-saving in ancient times or during natural disasters, so I decided to get some.

I ordered 100 packs of each of the following: dandelion, shepherd's purse, purslane, bracken, water celery, bellflower, mint, houttuynia cordata, plantain, thistle, and purple-backed seaweed.

Don't be fooled by the small amount you buy; a bag doesn't weigh much, but the seeds are expensive, and this alone cost 10,000 yuan.

Don't be fooled by the large number of seeds I bought. The space is only so big. If I really travel through time, I can at least secretly mix these seeds in and use them myself, otherwise it would be too wasteful!

Besides, don't keep saying you don't even have wild vegetable seeds anymore. Putting aside everything else, I remember my grandfather telling me that during the three years of natural disasters, we couldn't even get wild vegetables to eat. We were lucky if we could get tree bark and grass roots. People even had to eat clay to fill their stomachs.

So, don't be fooled by the abundance of wild vegetables growing by the roadside now; it's simply because living standards have improved and families no longer lack food or drink.

Besides, the amount of food wasted so far is enough to feed people for a year in the past.

So let's get some wild vegetable seeds too! They don't take up much space.

I turned around and suddenly looked into the car. There was still some space inside, and I saw some dried mushrooms and other things displayed in front of the shop.

Suddenly I realized that I haven't bought these things yet.

So I quickly got off the bus and went over to see what was there.

Wood ear mushrooms, silver ear mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, button mushrooms, etc. Wow, that's quite a lot! Let's get some of everything, ten pounds of each!

These things are delicious whether you use them in soup or other cooking methods. The only problem is that they are no longer wild; they are mostly cultivated.

These things used to be worthless, but now they're not cheap at all; they cost seventy or eighty yuan per kilogram!

The shop owner saw that I bought a lot, so he rounded down the price, but I still ended up paying 10,000 yuan.

The truck was full, but the chicken nets would have to wait until the next trip.

It was almost noon, and I was looking for a place to eat when I got back. While driving, I saw many people eating at farmhouses, and then I remembered that I had bought some steamed buns and such.

I didn't buy anything else! That won't do. I need to go to the steamed bun shop and buy some steamed buns to put there when I get back.

Similarly, you can also order some dishes from other restaurants.

My cooking skills are just so-so; no matter how I cook, it's never as good as a professional chef's. I could just buy some and keep it somewhere so I can take it out and eat it whenever I want, or sneak a bite when it's inconvenient. Haha, just thinking about it makes me happy!

Actually, I can make most of them myself, but I just can't replicate the taste of restaurants. No matter how I try, it's all in vain. So I buy some to keep somewhere, at least to satisfy my cravings.

So, sometimes people need to change things up, otherwise they'll get tired of eating the same thing all the time.

We quickly returned to the county town and visited some well-known places. At each restaurant, we ordered ten portions of whatever we wanted to eat.

Dishes like spicy chicken, braised goose in an iron pot, braised fish, sweet and sour pork, cold poached chicken, braised old duck, steamed mandarin fish with baby peppers, fragrant crab soup, crispy pigeon, Sichuan-style beef brisket, braised soft-shelled turtle, suckling pig platter, braised abalone with oyster sauce, steamed fish with soy sauce, roast duck, steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork intestines with scallions, braised beef, braised pork belly, stir-fried pork ribs with pineapple, eight-treasure rice, crispy duck, spicy crab, braised pork knuckle, dried bamboo shoots, rabbit hair and blood curd, sashimi salmon, and braised abalone with red kidney beans.

Seeing how much I bought, I'm getting hungry myself. I'll just have to be polite with this! I'll save it for later.

What can I do? Even though I'm getting on in years, I was quite the foodie when I was young.

To be honest, these dishes were all very expensive, but luckily I didn't dare to order too many; I only ordered ten of each.

That's how the 30,000 yuan went; I'll come back to collect it in an hour and a half.

Next, I went to eat some dumplings. I had no choice; I still needed to eat lunch. But for dumplings, there was no need to buy them outside. Although the filling was a little off, it was still alright!

After lunch, I went to the supermarket and bought some toiletries: one box each of soap, scented soap, and sulfur soap. Each box cost 100 yuan, and they were all odorless.

I ordered 10 bags of laundry detergent (10 catties each), a box of toothpaste and a toothbrush, 20 sets each of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and skincare products, and 20 light-colored towels because they were on sale.

It's fair to say that I bought something of everything I could think of.

While buying towels, I realized I hadn't bought any underwear yet.

Sigh! With a brain like that, you wouldn't even know if someone sold you out. That's why you can't tell anyone about anything related to the space.

I scanned another 15,000 yuan to pay, it seems like I'm running out of money.

I quickly loaded the food into the car and left. Seeing that time was running out, I drove to the suburbs to collect the food I had ordered from restaurants. Fortunately, I hadn't ordered from just one place; I had to go all over the county.

If this happens at home, people will think you're hosting a dinner party at your house.

After picking up the groceries, I headed straight to the suburbs for my income. Seeing that it was already past 2 PM, I realized I needed to go to the store to buy chicken nets.

This is an important item. Although it's quite large, it's really useful for raising chickens.

I immediately ordered a 30-meter long and 3-meter wide net. Seeing some fishing nets nearby, I remembered I needed to buy a few more, but those weren't suitable for ancient times. So I decided to order them online when I got home. Even the nets for catching chickens weren't cheap—three thousand yuan!

The fishing net might come in handy someday. Besides, if I went to ancient times and still had this fishing net, I might not become rich, but I could at least eat meat freely!

I went to a lingerie store and bought 100 pairs of pure cotton underwear, which cost me six thousand yuan.

There's nothing else I need to buy. It's still early, only a little past four in the afternoon, and there's some free space in the car, so I'll head straight to the town's courier point to pick up my packages. The earliest orders should have already arrived.

When I got to the courier point, wow, one truck wasn't enough to hold it all, so I had to come back again. But it's only a 20-minute drive from home to town, so it's not too bad.

After two round trips, I finally finished delivering the missing order. It was already past six in the afternoon. I was hungry after a busy day, so I ate something. I didn't cook anything, just the vegetables I ordered this morning and some leftover steamed buns from a few days ago. I heated them up and ate them.

There were two hot steamed buns left, so I put them directly into the freezer. Otherwise, they would easily get moldy if kept in the refrigerator at a constant temperature for too long. Putting them in the freezer would require thawing, which is too much trouble.

After finishing my meal, I went into my personal space. Today, the space wasn't as messy as it was yesterday.

The main thing is to unpack these newly arrived delivery boxes one by one, assemble the ones that need to be assembled, and put the ones that don't need to be put away. The ones that came are mostly farm tools and the like. We put them at the front door and then in the woodshed next to the kitchen. We don't plan to put these things there. We plan to buy some honeycomb briquettes tomorrow or sometime to make our own stove.

After collecting everything, besides using my online storage, I opened my phone and placed an order on Taobao for the things I wanted to buy that day.

After the payment was deducted, I saw that I still had 34,000 yuan in the balance. That means I can go to the city tomorrow to order the steamed buns I pre-ordered.

Speaking of steamed buns, I can make them myself, but I don't know how many days God will give me to prepare. If I get up early, I can make them myself, but I don't really need to buy too many.

But no matter what, it's better to prepare more! To be honest, I just can't understand why the same ingredients and processes result in different flavors.
