The white paper was covered with densely packed black text, automatically shrunk by the system printing.
Mineral water, purified water, spring water, soda water—all types and brands of water, in quantities of dozens of cases each.
Oolong tea, jasmine tea, chrysanthemum tea, Imperata cylindrica root water, and other tea-infused water.
Cola, Sprite, milk tea, fruit tea and all sorts of other beverages.
There are also some preserved goods that people nowadays pay attention to health, and which are rarely sold normally, such as luncheon meat, braised pork, salted fish, and canned fruit.
The manager glanced at it briefly and noticed that the bottom line was a long list of compressed biscuits.
"You've come to the right place with these compressed biscuits. They're a newly replenished batch with a new expiration date. They'll last even longer," the manager said, stroking the shopping list.
"That's great. I guess I've come at the perfect time!" Jiang Qingwan chimed in.
"Haha. Why are you buying so much? Have you watched too many survival shows and are you planning to experience survival in the wild yourself?" the manager joked.
"I'm planning to go back to my hometown, a remote mountain village. The transportation is inconvenient, and there's not much to buy. I can't stand it!" Jiang Qingwan complained.
“That’s really inconvenient. You don’t have to go back. With all this stuff, it’s not convenient for you to go back.” The manager shook his head, a little puzzled as to why he wanted to go back to his hometown.
Jiang Qingwan explained, "My family is quite superstitious. They said I'll face a calamity next year and I must go back to my hometown to ward off the disaster. This year is so long, what can I do if I don't buy more things?"
Of course, not a single word Jiang Qingwan said was true.
It already sounds absurd and far-fetched, but there are plenty of strange people and strange things in the world. One more or one less won't make a difference.
The adult world is not a place for relentlessly pursuing every detail.
The manager shrugged, saying regretfully and helplessly, "There's really nothing we can do then. I hope you can get through this soon."
"Where are these things being transported to? Your hometown?" The manager suddenly realized that transportation in the mountainous area was not very convenient.
Jiang Qingwan shook her head, "No, it's being transported to a warehouse in the suburbs. I'll ask my driver to deliver it to me once a month."
"That's great! We don't have any problems with transportation in the suburbs. Just send us the address later, and we'll pack and ship it out."
"I initially thought you were going to deliver to remote mountainous areas, so our transportation might not be up to par. I'll need to contact my superiors again to request more manpower and trucks." The manager was relieved; the difficulty of the transportation task had suddenly decreased significantly.
"Haha. It's hard to send directions from my hometown, I bet you guys wouldn't be able to find it. So it definitely won't be that complicated," Jiang Qingwan explained casually.
"Okay. I'll start working on the POS system now." The manager nodded and pointed to someone's computer screen.
The person in charge of the POS system immediately understood what the manager meant.
I opened the POS system, received the information from the warehouse system, and began to follow the steps systematically.
I also encountered a pop-up message saying the amount was too large. Could you please tell me if this was a message from me?
The staff quickly scanned the face to verify the authenticity of the order.
"Okay, let's confirm the amount." The staff member stood up from his seat and pointed to the amount on the screen.
The price displayed is 1.89 million, which is almost half the price of the house.
“Okay, no problem. Just deliver on time.” Jiang Qingwan had no questions about the price; it was within her expectations.
"Just scan the code to transfer the money, and I'll confirm it through the system." The manager opened the payment QR code generated by the system, stepped aside to give Jiang Qingwan some space.
Jiang Qingwan scanned the QR code to make the payment, and the computer screen displayed a message indicating that the payment had been successfully deducted.
"I'll issue you the invoice later. I'll bring it along with these items for you to sign for this afternoon, okay?" The manager asked with a smile after confirming receipt of payment and closing the page.
“Okay. I’ll write down the address and phone number for you,” Jiang Qingwan agreed.
A perceptive staff member quickly found blank paper and a pen and presented them to Jiang Qingwan with both hands.
Jiang Qingwan took it, and the elegant handwriting gradually appeared: Warehouse No. 52, High-tech Industrial Park, No. 108, Nanping Street; Contact Person: Ms. Jiang; followed by a string of phone numbers.
"Arriving after 3 PM, I'll try to finish delivering today," Jiang Qingwan added after finishing her writing.
“I won’t be here before 3 p.m. So I can’t sign for the package. You can park your truck in the park’s parking lot and contact me after 3 p.m., or you can drive over after 3 p.m.”
"Okay. I've got it, Ms. Jiang. We'll contact you to sign for it after 3 PM." The manager replied respectfully.
"That's settled then. Our transaction is over." Jiang Qingwan walked towards the door, preparing to leave the office.
The manager hurriedly ran to open the door before Jiang Qingwan could.
The manager turned the doorknob, stood behind the door, and left the office door wide open. He bent down and gestured for Jiang Qingwan to leave.
After she left, the manager followed and guided her to the underground parking lot, and on the way, he didn't forget to pick up a bottle of mineral water from the customer service center for Jiang Qingwan to take with her.
The manager changed his casual attitude from the morning, paying attention to a high level throughout, maintaining a professional image and providing smiling service.
He would occasionally wipe his hair, secretly tidying his appearance, which made his already sparse hair look even flatter, and his forehead even shinier.
Jiang Qingwan enjoyed the manager's meticulous service with a clear conscience. Even after she drove off, she could still see the manager's big smile and waving goodbye in the rearview mirror.
"Your route planning was successful. Would you like to start navigating now?"
A cold, mechanical female voice rang out.
"Confirmation successful. Navigation will now begin. Your destination is Chunguang Shopping Mall, which is 2.3 kilometers from your current location. Estimated travel time is 13 minutes."
Jiang Qingwan chose the shopping mall that opened earliest as her next stop, intending to stock up on supplies other than food.
Especially warm clothes.
In 2100, an extreme cold apocalypse will occur. Global temperatures will plummet.
There is no longer a distinction between the south and the north; the temperature has plummeted to an extreme level that is difficult to surpass in human history.
Temperatures of -100 degrees Celsius are common.
Jiang Qingwan didn't have many requirements for clothing styles. In the apocalypse, no one would have the leisure to decorate themselves and dress up in flamboyant clothes all day long.
Jiang Qingwan went straight to several of the most famous stores that make cold-resistant down jackets, all of which focused on lightweight and warm properties.
Jiang Qingwan decided to first go to a domestic store to show her support.
The sales assistant, watching Jiang Qingwan walk straight towards her shop, was already prepared to greet the customer.
"It's you, beautiful!" The sales assistant greeted her with a bright smile. "Why are you here so early today?"
"What's wrong? Do you know me?" Jiang Qingwan recalled for a moment and confirmed that she did not know this person before.
