Chapter 5: Almost Emptying the Warehouse
Yang Qing's stomach growled with hunger, and he said to Lu Lin, "Let's find a restaurant to eat something first."
Lu Lin nodded and took Aqi's hand.
I found a restaurant, ordered some food, and asked the boss to pack up fifty more for me to take away.
The boss almost cleared out all the food in the store.
Yang Qing started ordering takeout again, including various seafood meals, ginger duck, steamed pork with rice flour, oyster omelet, satay noodles, as well as spicy crayfish, boiled fish, roast duck, pork trotter rice, Cantonese snacks, roujiamo, sweet and sour pork, duck blood vermicelli, etc. from local shops opened by outsiders.
Anyway, I can order 50 servings of food from all over the local restaurants, and then I can eat a variety of dishes every day.
There are also McDonald's chicken wings, hamburgers, family buckets, cones, various ice creams, popsicles, etc.
The delivery address was placed at the warehouse I rented this morning, and I also happened to be going there to buy some dry food.
After arriving, you can go directly to the warehouse to choose rice, cooking oil, various biscuits, bread, candy, chocolate, various beverages, milk, mineral water, bottled purified water, various tobacco, alcohol, tea, salt, vinegar, chicken essence, hot pot base and other condiments.
Lu Lin chose from hot rice, self-heating hot pot, instant noodles, rice noodles, and sausage.
There are also various canned foods such as Lao Gan Ma, bean paste, tomato sauce, canned beef, canned grass carp, luncheon meat, canned fruit, etc.
Then there are various snacks such as chicken feet, jerky, spicy strips, braised eggs, potato chips, milk tea, etc.
Soybeans, mung beans, peanuts, millet, glutinous rice, corn, mushrooms, fungus, longan, red dates, dried vegetables, dried salted fish, kelp, bacon and other dry goods.
There is also a department store warehouse next to it, which sells all kinds of tableware, kitchen knives, pots, induction cookers, gas stoves, portable gas stoves, small gas cylinders, charcoal, alcohol stoves, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, disinfectant, quilts, blankets, mats, slippers, electric blankets, and underwear.
Yang Qing also bought condoms and other family planning products. She might not need these things herself, but they would be very useful in the end times and could be exchanged for many things.
Then there are towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, shower gel, laundry detergent and other toiletries.
Grain is bought by the ton, and other items are bought by the box.
Oh, and there’s dog food. I almost forgot about Archie’s food.
All the things were sent directly to the warehouse next door. Yang Qing put most of the things into the space, leaving a small part to hide from others.
Next door is a frozen warehouse, where we bought thousands of pounds of pork, chicken, duck, beef, seafood, etc. There are also frozen dumplings, meatballs, fish balls, crab sticks, etc.
Then go to the vegetable market, there are all kinds of vegetables, cabbage, Shanghai green, winter melon, cucumber, loofah, various mushrooms, as well as potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, onions, ginger, onions, garlic, etc.
The fruits include apples, grapes, mangoes, dragon fruit, bananas, watermelons, cantaloupes, etc. Almost all the fruits available in the market are taken away in baskets.
We also purchased a batch of chicken eggs, duck eggs, and quail eggs, and specially bought some fertilized eggs so that we can hatch them later if conditions permit.
The space is almost full.
Yang Qing hid in the car and slipped into the space, using his consciousness to organize and classify all the items. He kept the room as a place where he could sleep sometimes, and used all the other places to store things.
It was almost five o'clock when I finished all this, and I could go back to the room.
Yang Qing drove while looking at the roadside to see if there was anything he had left behind.
I saw a bank and thought about withdrawing some more cash for backup.
Yang Qing took out the card and said, "I want to withdraw 200,000 yuan in cash!"
"Sorry, you need to make an appointment to withdraw more than 100,000!"
"Then I'll take 100,000."
"No more than 50,000 a day without an appointment!"
Yang Qing rolled her eyes. "Then I'll take out 49,999 yuan. Is that okay?"
The bank teller glanced at her sideways, feeling helpless. After all, she hadn't violated any rules.
Following the same procedure, Yang Qing withdrew another 50,000 yuan from another bank and gave the bank one yuan in change.
This is all she can withdraw. She only has cards from two banks. If she had known earlier, she would have applied for more cards.
Continuing driving on the road, Yang Qing saw a farm supply store and almost forgot that he still needed to buy seeds.
I went into the store and bought all the vegetable seeds, as well as some pesticides, fertilizers, nutrient solutions, etc. I also bought dozens of bags of nutrient soil and plastic vegetable pots, which I could use to grow vegetables on the rooftop in the future.
Seeing the electronics store, Yang Qing went downstairs and bought a freezer and several car refrigerators. The car refrigerators are rechargeable and can be used temporarily when there is no power.
I bought another tablet, several mobile hard drives and USB flash drives, and started downloading various dramas, documentaries, and various teaching videos without using any data plan.
When the end of the world comes and there is no internet, I will rely on watching these to pass the time while lying down and doing nothing.
I remembered there was a gas station up ahead, so I went to fill up the car with gas.
I found a store and bought dozens of empty barrels and oil pumps. I pumped the oil out of the truck and poured it into the barrels. Then I went to gas stations one by one to refuel and pump oil. I filled more than twenty barrels of oil. This was all I could get for now.
When I was almost home, I realized that I hadn’t bought a water tank yet, so I bought four large water tanks and put them in the space first.
After arriving home, the sunroom and doors and windows were completed and well done. Yang Qing was very satisfied and paid the balance happily.
Before the workers left, they were asked to leave behind all the cutting and welding machines and tools and they would be bought at the original price.
The foreman was very happy, as he could buy a brand new one with that money.
Yang Qing was also happy. These things would come in handy in the future and he wouldn't have to spend time looking for them.
Keep the new door key safe and give your roommates a set when they come back.
However, I installed two security doors in the corridor. What if the man next door comes back and can't get in?
After living here for a year, Yang Qing had only seen the man a few times.
Every time I see him, we just greet each other.
She only remembered that he was tall and strong, but every time he wore a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, so she couldn't see what he looked like.
Forget it, he may not come back, let’s talk about it when the time comes.
Yang Qing called for gas again.
Her building is old and has no gas pipeline, so they still use bottled gas. Every time the gas delivery guy comes up the stairs, he complains a few times.
This time Yang Qing said he wanted ten bottles, which scared everyone.
"You don't have to bring it upstairs, I'll get it myself!" Yang Qing said.
"It's not safe to have so much gas at home," the other party said.
"It's not just me, it's also used by my friends."
"A deposit is required for the bottle."
"no problem."
Anyway, you can use it to store space without worrying about safety issues. When there is gas but no electricity, you can still cook without having to worry about not having something hot to eat.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the gas was delivered downstairs and placed in the corridor.
Yang Qing looked around and made sure that there were no cameras installed in this old building. He put the gas cylinder into the space and took out two spare cylinders when he got home.
Then he took out some rice, cooking oil, purified water, instant noodles, etc., put some on the eighth floor, piled some in his room, and placed a few items symbolically in the living room to let his roommates know that he had hoarded things and cover up the space.
Then take out a solar generator, a water tank, a speedboat, a rubber boat, soil and fertilizer and put them in the sunroom, otherwise it will be inconvenient to take them out later.
