Chapter 47: Stockpiling Seeds and Meat Leads to the Exposure of the Warehouse
The next day, Lin Muyan went to the farmers' market again.
The shop owner who bought the tree seedlings last time seemed to have a large supply; he could get seedlings from all over the country.
Just these days, Lin Muyan also discovered that in her green space, plants of any season can be planted, and even varieties with the most demanding growing conditions can survive.
Spatial farmland is like a universal soil; you can grow anything, and you can grow anything well.
So she decided to stock up on a variety of seeds and seedlings so that she could be self-sufficient in the future and have more vegetables and fruits to enjoy instead of always eating the same few things.
"Boss, you told me last time that you could get seeds from all over the world, is that true?"
As soon as Lin Muyan entered the shop, she got straight to the point. The owner, who had done several big deals with Lin Muyan, greeted her warmly when he saw her.
"Don't worry, boss. My supply sources are definitely the widest in this area. I can get whatever you want, from imported cherries, jackfruit, coconuts, durians, etc. However, the local soil and climate may not be suitable, so you'll have to get improved varieties, which will just make the price a bit higher."
"No need, I just want you to tell me what you mean. I don't just use it for planting, I have other uses too. Just help me with the procurement."
"Alright!" The boss was naturally all smiles upon hearing this.
He earns the middleman's profit by profiting from the price difference. He knows that Lin Muyan is a big spender and needs a lot of money. He only needs to be responsible for purchasing the goods and he can make a steady profit.
The boss was a capable worker, and he quickly listed all the varieties of seeds and seedlings he could get his hands on, and handed them to Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan glanced at the items briefly, picked out a few of her favorite foods, such as kiwis and durians, and ordered a lot of them. She also ordered a little of each of the remaining items, in very large quantities. She could plant them tirelessly every year and still ensure that the land would not be barren for seventy or eighty years.
The boss was also surprised by the quantity Lin Muyan ordered.
"You want so much?! That's no small sum."
No matter how cheap the seeds were, they couldn't withstand the enormous quantity Lin Muyan wanted, which was worth millions.
Lin Muyan waved her hand casually and said, "Just help me with the purchasing. I won't haggle with you over the price. Whatever the price is, that's what it is."
The boss gave a thumbs up: "Young boss, you really have a different perspective. Do you still need the vegetable seedlings?"
Lin Muyan thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, whatever variety you can get, just give me a little of each. Prepare the quantity according to the amount of fruit. Just let me know when the goods arrive, and we'll settle the payment upon delivery."
Because the seeds needed to be purchased from overseas and it would take time to transport them back to China, Lin Muyan left after setting a delivery deadline with her boss.
After leaving the farmers' market, Lin Muyan went to the largest wholesale market in the suburbs and purchased a large amount of seasonings, spices such as scallions, ginger, and garlic, as well as cooking oil.
As Lin Muyan passed by the fish and meat market, she happened to see a large quantity of freshly slaughtered chickens, ducks, beef, and mutton being delivered, and she immediately stopped in her tracks.
Raising poultry or engaging in animal husbandry in a post-apocalyptic world is not very realistic.
The comments section said that mutations would occur during the apocalypse, and these animals might all have problems then.
None of her spaces have room to accommodate living creatures. Even if they did, storing large quantities of live meat as food would require feeding, disease prevention, and slaughter, which is difficult to manage.
Therefore, for post-apocalyptic food items like meat products, she would have to stock up on fresh meat products directly.
So she immediately stormed into the fresh meat section and bought up all the fresh meat for the day, leaving the stall owners stunned.
This was the first time someone had ever ordered such a large quantity of goods, and wanted everything. I emptied their shelves in an instant.
For bosses like this, please send them one every day from now on!
In this way, Lin Muyan stockpiled tens of thousands of chickens, ducks and geese, as well as tender pigeons and quails, tens of thousands of fish, tens of thousands of crabs, and dozens of boxes of frozen shrimp.
She had over a thousand cattle, sheep, and pigs, and she didn't even let go of the scraps.
Because of the high cost, several stall owners were willing to help Lin Muyan process the meat and bones for free, deboning and cutting the meat, and then wrapping each piece of meat in clean plastic wrap to lock in freshness.
The restaurant owners even readily prepared the pig intestines for Lin Muyan.
Lin Muyan was very satisfied as she watched thousands of elderly people in the market help her kill fish and cut meat.
The bosses were very helpful in sorting and processing the items for her, which saved her a lot of trouble.
After working until sunset, all the meat was finally cut up and loaded onto the refrigerated transport truck.
Lin Muyan drove ahead, leading several transport trucks to her small warehouse. After unloading the goods and waiting for everyone to leave, she closed the warehouse and prepared to move everything into the white space.
Just then, light footsteps sounded outside the warehouse door.
Lin Muyan's heart skipped a beat. She stopped what she was doing and quietly crept towards the door.
This warehouse is in a very remote location, and there are hardly any people around. How come there are people outside at this time?
Lin Muyan was always careful to avoid being noticed, so could it be that the arrival of several large refrigerated trucks today had attracted attention?
She held her breath and carefully moved to the doorway. Peeking out through a small crack, she saw a furtive figure trying to climb onto the small skylight in the roof to peek inside.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Muyan felt that the person's figure and profile looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Suddenly, her expression changed.
Now I remember, isn't this Shen Shiqiu's bodyguard? What's he doing here?
Lin Muyan's face instantly darkened. Could it be that Shen Shiqiu's men had been secretly watching her all these days?
Did Shen Shiqiu know that she had stockpiled so many goods, had dinner with Fu Sinian, and asked for a batch of weapons?
Lin Muyan gritted her teeth secretly, holding her breath. Was Shen Shiqiu afraid that she could get a hundred million and didn't trust her? He even went so far as to follow her.
She's a little annoyed now; she should have been more cautious. She lacked experience and wasn't careful enough.
However, there was nothing she could do. Shen Shiqiu's bodyguards were all elite veterans, some of whom were even mercenaries. Their tracking skills were top-notch, and since she hadn't received any professional training, it was difficult for her to realize she was being followed.
The first thing to do is to find a way to get rid of this person; I can't show myself.
Just as Lin Muyan was thinking about how to scare the other party away, a car engine roared, and a flashy, eye-catching purple Phantom came into view and quickly stopped next to her pickup truck.
"Fu Sinian?" How did he manage to find this place?
Lin Muyan was speechless. She thought it was a well-hidden private storage room, but it turned out that one or two people could find it.
It seems this place is no longer safe; she needs to find a new warehouse as soon as possible.
Just then, Fu Sinian got out of the car and rushed toward Shen Shiqiu's bodyguard.
Lin Muyan was terrified upon seeing this and secretly worried for Fu Sinian.
No way, this guy is too fierce! He dares to go head-to-head with a bodyguard who has real combat experience. Does he have a death wish?!
