Chapter 6: The End of the World
The next day after returning home, Mu Jiu went out again.
Because Butler Beibei said that it is quite knowledgeable in Chinese medicine, and the space needs to stockpile some Chinese medicine seeds in case of emergency.
Although she stockpiled a lot of basic medicines in large supermarkets abroad, who would complain about having too little supplies!
So Mu Jiu rushed to the medicinal materials market without stopping to wholesale medicinal materials seeds.
Last night, Beibei dictated to Mu Jiu eight full pages of Chinese medicinal seeds, and he only wanted the seeds, not the finished medicinal materials.
It dislikes the finished Chinese medicines sold outside, saying that they are too ineffective and are just a scam. They can't cure diseases or kill people.
It would simply ruin the reputation of those traditional Chinese medicines, so it has to grow its own to maximize their efficacy.
In order to cover up his tracks, Mu Jiu spent 200 yuan to rent a large private warehouse not far from the Chinese medicine market.
The Chinese medicinal seeds purchased in this way can be delivered directly to the warehouse. When she finishes buying them later, she will store them all in the space.
Schisandra chinensis, Gardenia jasminoides, Burdock fruit, Ligustrum lucidum, Rosa rugosa, Sapindus mukorossi, Cuscuta australis, Sinapis alba, Xanthium sibiricum, etc.
Nearly 200 kinds of Chinese medicine, totaling about 10 tons, cost a total of 1.95 million yuan, and Mu Jiu still had 600,000 yuan left.
With sufficient supplies purchased from abroad for free, Mu Jiu had little desire to shop, not to mention that she didn't have much money to spend.
After thinking it over carefully, she decided to use all the remaining money to order takeout!
It is delivered to the warehouse just right to maximize the value of the warehouse.
Mu Jiu did what he said and ordered almost all the takeout in South City that looked slightly appetizing.
Barbecue restaurant, beef skewers, lamb skewers, pork belly, chicken wings, gluten, potatoes, ham, enoki mushrooms, giant squid, etc., 2,000 servings each.
The crayfish restaurant sells 200 servings of braised prawns, crispy crayfish, garlic prawns, steamed prawns, and full-flavor shrimp balls.
Fast food restaurant, fried chicken wings, chicken rolls, hamburgers, Colonel chicken nuggets, French fries, cheese pizza, chicken feet, chicken feet, duck necks, etc., 2,000 servings of each.
A dim sum dessert shop, selling cream cake, durian mille-feuille, original milk clams, tiramisu, mango sago, taro mochi, fruit jelly, coconut milk sago, etc., 1,000 servings of each.
The beverage shop wants 2,000 servings of each of the fresh coconut latte, iced Americano, cappuccino, lemon tea, bubble milk tea, fruit tea, etc.
At this point, Mu Jiu had almost run out of money, leaving only enough for the taxi fare back to the villa.
Mu Jiu stored all the Chinese medicine in the warehouse into the space. About two hours later, the takeout she ordered started to arrive one after another.
He collected the takeaways one by one, and around five in the afternoon, Mu Jiu finished collecting the last takeaway.
On the way back to the hot spring villa, the taxi driver suddenly said loudly:
"In this great south, it's snowing in the dog days of summer!"
When Mu Jiu heard the sound, he looked and saw small snowflakes as big as sesame seeds falling outside the car window. They melted before they hit the ground.
She remembered that her previous life also started with a light snow in the dog days of summer.
But today is only July 29th, and the end of the world has come early!
Mu Jiu originally planned to follow the driver's instructions and remind him to prepare some supplies to deal with extreme weather:
"Such abnormal weather..."
But Mu Jiu had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the driver.
"Oh, little girl, it's just a little snow, it's not abnormal, you have never seen hail in the summer!
Let me tell you, last summer, I sent someone to Ningcheng.
On the road, we encountered hailstones as big as fists. They were as big as fists!
It fell directly down and hit someone's window glass, making a big hole!
Fortunately, I was smart and quickly turned the car into the underground parking lot next to it, thus avoiding the loss!
At that time, many cars in that area had their roofs smashed and bald, and many were directly scrapped!
"I've seen a lot of things, do you think this little bit of snow can kill someone? Hahaha!"
After hearing what the driver said, Mu Jiu laughed dryly twice and shut up.
She was too lazy to persuade him, as the saying goes, Buddha will not save those who have no destiny.
Judging from the driver's worldly-wise appearance, if she said the world was coming to an end, he would probably be able to tell her a story about Ultraman fighting monsters and saving people.
Perhaps it was the story of the hail that got the driver talking. He asked curiously:
"Little girl, people usually go to the hot spring villa only in winter, why are you going there in the dog days of summer?
I heard that if you soak in that hot spring in the middle of winter when the temperature is several degrees below zero, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Can your body withstand the 40-degree hot spring?"
Mu Jiuhun talked nonsense without caring:
“Well, fortunately, the doctor said that my bipolar disorder is quite serious and my mood swings are very big.
Staying in the noisy environment of the city is not suitable for recovery. You need to find a place with beautiful environment and rest for a while.
Also, when depression strikes, I tend to feel cold all over. The doctor recommended taking more baths, so I moved here.
Lived here for a while, it was pretty good. ”
After Mu Jiu finished speaking, the car was completely silent, with only the sound of the driver swallowing his saliva.
After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out two sentences:
"Oh, you are sick, so you should take good care of yourself! Do you think the air conditioner in the car is too cold? I will turn it up a little bit!"
“Okay, thank you!”
After this, the driver no longer dared to talk to Mu Jiu casually.
I was afraid that something I said would make her go crazy, which would be terrible!
Mu Jiu was also happy with the quietness. She looked at the buildings and scenery passing by. This was probably the last time she would see a bustling city.
The first thing Mu Jiu did when he returned to the villa was to turn on the heating in the whole house.
It would take some time for the temperature in the house to rise, so she started preparing.
In my previous life, on the night it snowed, the temperature dropped sharply, from a high of 40 degrees to 0 degrees, a temperature difference of 40 degrees.
Overnight, countless elderly people with poor health and weak immunity were taken away.
And for a long time to come, the temperature will continue to drop, leaving humans no chance of luck.
It was still early, so Mu Jiu went to the backyard first. She took out ten chickens and ducks that she had bought from a farm in the United States for free, and placed them in the designed nests.
The backyard is about 30 square meters, covered with grass, and there is an irregular shallow pool in the corner.
The pool is filled with hot spring water from the mountains. After filtering, it can be used not only as drinking water for livestock, but also for ducks to play in the water.
The yard is completely enclosed with glass, and Mu Jiu also set up separate fireplaces for the livestock to keep them warm.
All enclosed spaces are equipped with circulating ventilation systems, so there is no problem at all drinking tea or barbecuing around the fire in the yard.
Originally intended to be raised for laying eggs or eating meat, these small animals have now become Mu Jiu's companions to pass the time in his long life in the apocalyptic world.
After all, before going abroad, she didn't know that there would be a farm in the space, with its own administrator, the kind that the owner didn't have to worry about.
She scattered small amounts of corn, vegetables, wheat, rice and other grains on the lawn and watched the chickens and ducks peck at the food.
The light snow fell little by little, forming a beautiful landscape painting with the green water and green mountains outside the glass.
Mu Jiu suddenly became interested and she moved out outdoor folding tables and chairs, induction cookers, hot pots and other items from the space.
Decided to have hotpot for dinner in the yard and enjoy the snow scenery!
Hot pot base and other ingredients were already prepared when I bought them abroad for free.
It has to be said that China's food culture has a strong penetration. Even in large supermarkets abroad, you can find hot pot bases and various cooking condiments.
The quantity of these things is enough for Mu Jiu to eat every meal, and there will be no problem for him to eat them for the next next next next life.
As for the ingredients put into the hot pot, such as lamb rolls, beef rolls, shrimp balls, white throat, beef tripe, etc., they are all cut and cooked fresh by Beibei Butler.
Abalone, oysters, scallops, grouper, cuttlefish, salmon, crabs, prawns, white clams, etc. are all freshly caught by Butler Beibei from the large pond on the farm.
The base sauce is Sichuan spicy, so spicy that Mu Jiu was sweating profusely.
I quickly took out a bottle of iced cola from the space, and drank it in two big gulps. It was so delicious!
If he hadn’t remembered that the end of the world had already begun, Mu Jiu would have almost thought that he was here on vacation.
Mu Jiu looked up at the thermometer hanging on the wall of the yard. It was only nine o'clock in the evening, and the temperature had already dropped to 5 degrees.
For the south, winter has arrived in an instant.
