September 5th, there are still 10 days until the end of the world.
The masters who were installing doors and windows arrived at 7 o'clock. There were more than twenty of them at once. Jiang Xingzhi was left at home to watch over the place, while Jiang Yuan took Qin Yue and Xiao Nuan to the textile market.
Down quilts, cotton quilts, summer quilts, four-piece sets, as long as you see something usable, buy them all.
The prices here are much cheaper than in the mall. Qin Yue even bought a lot of dense fabrics. She also bought a lot of cotton cloth, cotton silk, needles, thread, and thimbles that can be used to make clothes.
Jiang Yuan also stopped by an outdoor goods store. She told the owner that her friend was going to Antarctica to study penguins and asked the owner to equip her with some practical items.
Sleeping bags, high-intensity flashlights, wool hats and gloves, waterproof and fleece-proof jackets, knee-high non-slip rain boots and insoles, and 100% UV-proof sunglasses are all specifically requested.
The owner also carefully equipped us with tents, speedboats, compressed biscuits, moisture-proof mats, climbing ropes, rock nails, safety ascenders and descenders, and finally a multi-functional wilderness survival suit. Everything is top-notch.
Jiang Yuan took a quick look, high-powered telescopes, compasses, flints, drones, etc.
Well, it’s really wild, pack it all up and take it away…
In addition, she also bought four sharp daggers and four military shovels.
Why four? Because she included Xiao Nuan. In the apocalypse, she also needs to grow up.
The stuff was really good and the price was very attractive. This trip cost more than one million, but Jiang Yuan didn't feel sorry at all. At the critical moment, this was a life-saving thing and she couldn't be careless.
The van was packed full. Qin Yue sat in the passenger seat holding Xiao Nuan. Since the end of the world was coming, she was not afraid of being photographed for breaking the traffic rules.
The master worked very quickly and by the time they got home, he had finished the work!
The people who were installing the surveillance cameras also came. They chose corners that were not easily noticed and debugged each position. The control panel and screen were integrated and fixed directly at the entrance hall.
Jiang Yuan promptly settled the balance. Although the workers were surprised at what she was doing, fortunately they didn't say much.
The people who delivered the solar panels and installed the water purifier came together and were working on the terrace. Jiang Xingzhi was watching the positions and trying to install them together, leaving some empty space so that they could grow some vegetables in the future.
In the afternoon, no one went out. They watched most of the movies about the end of the world.
Jiang Yuan downloaded a lot of novels and only read the first half. She really found a lot of loopholes. It has to be said that the authors of online novels have really big imaginations.
Someone delivered a refrigerator and placed it directly in the attic. The ceiling here is not low, at 2.4 meters, so there is no problem storing supplies.
She also placed orders for some daily necessities: toilet paper, cotton wipes, wet wipes, sanitary napkins, and a lot of books of various types.
The list kept getting longer and longer! September 6th, 9 days before the apocalypse! A lot of express deliveries had arrived, and after binding Qin Yue's phone number to hers, she asked her mother to take Xiao Nuan to the express delivery point to pick it up.
Dad drove his magic car and took her to the largest grain and oil wholesale market in Xishi.
They asked for 30,000 kilograms of rice, 20,000 kilograms of flour, 100 barrels of peanut oil and melon seed oil, and a minimum of 20 boxes of salt, vinegar, grain oil, chicken essence and other condiments.
A rough calculation shows that one cubic meter can hold 1,600 kilograms of rice. After buying these, less than half of the attic has been used.
There are also many dry seasonings for sale here, including peppercorns, star anise, star anise, cinnamon, etc.
In addition, I bought a lot of vermicelli, bean curd, dried kelp, dried shrimp, hot pot meatballs, etc.
Jiang Yuan didn't dare to stop. She sent the things home, didn't even eat, and hurried out again.
I bought a lot of simple shelves and some screws for installation.
After returning home, Jiang Xingzhi did not go out again and stayed in the attic to assemble shelves. Qin Yue also brought back a lot of express deliveries, which were piled everywhere in the living room.
While the rice delivery man had not arrived yet, Jiang Yuan went to a nearby telecommunications business hall and bought ten tablets, twenty power banks, three spare mobile phones and one hundred USB flash drives.
The store was filled with joy and the manager on duty personally brought over tea and fruit plates.
Her requirements are simple: all tablets and USB drives must be filled with movies, TV series, e-books and the like.
Of course, half of them are cartoons that children like, as well as children's songs and dances.
Although they didn't understand, they still went over to download it happily.
At 8:30 in the evening, Jiang Yuan brought Xiao Nuan back home, charged all the power banks, ate the pork and cabbage dumplings made by her mother, and watched a variety show with interest.
At half past ten, the people delivering grain and oil arrived as scheduled, and the boss called two Huolala trucks.
To be on the safe side, I paid an additional thousand yuan and asked the technician to unload the garbage downstairs at the unit door.
The three of them pulled the cart and worked until 3:30 in the morning to transport all these things up! Although it was sad, they felt at ease.
There were still 9 days before the apocalypse, and the three of them couldn't get up. They slept until noon. It was only because Xiao Nuan cried out that she was hungry that Jiang Yuan had to separate from the bed.
Her physical condition is not very good. After the high-intensity stretching yesterday, she can't even lift her arms, and her legs feel like they are filled with lead.
But I dare not stop because there are still many things to do and many things to buy.
I made a cup of milk powder for Xiao Nuan and ordered some takeout before calling my parents to get up and washing up.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Xingzhi went to a nearby water station and asked for 100 barrels of water. She calculated the space and placed all the barrels on the bottom shelf. The space above could still be used. They also had rainwater collectors and water purification devices, so 100 barrels were more than enough. The delivery was scheduled for 10 p.m.
I went to the cold chain wholesale market for meat products again and bought 500 kilograms of pork and beef, 200 kilograms of mutton, and about 200 kilograms of chicken, duck, fish and shrimp. These will be delivered early tomorrow morning.
On the way back to the city, I went to the pet store and bought a lot of cat litter. This was an idea I drew from the novel. Going to the toilet without water is indeed a problem.
I went to the hardware store and bought two large bags of cement and a bag of putty powder. I also went into all the maternity and baby stores and pharmacies I passed by and searched through the warehouse.
I didn’t cook in the evening and chose a hotpot restaurant downstairs with a good reputation. Qin Yue has also been receiving express deliveries today and has been very busy.
Looking at the steam rising from the hot pot, Jiang Yuan felt tempted. She knew she would not be able to eat such delicious food again in a few days.
Before she could sigh, her cell phone rang.
It was Xia Chaoyang calling. What did he want from her? Jiang Yuan looked disgusted, but still answered the call.
