Chapter 7: Shopping in a New Place
A pickup truck with a carriage and a warehouse is rented for one month, for a total of 1,000 L coins. The account will automatically deduct 5,000 Hua coins based on the exchange rate.
In 2040, China's Huabi has already become the second international currency after L-coin, and can be traded directly around the world without exchange.
After getting the car, Xu Sichen first went to the rented warehouse to take a look. After making sure there was no problem, he went straight to his destination.
Her destination was the largest farms in State J.
Before setting off, she had already made all the strategies.
The owner of the first farm we arrived at was called David. His farm was very large, covering more than a thousand acres.
Such a large farm is all used to grow rice.
In order to provide goods to the market faster and more efficiently, the crops produced on farms in Country L are produced by concentrating all the links such as crop planting, harvesting, processing, and finished products in the farmland.
So when rice is harvested, it is directly processed into rice; when wheat is harvested, it is processed into flour; when peanuts and soybeans are harvested, they are directly processed into edible oil.
The average farm price of rice in Country L is expected to be US$10.50 per hundredweight. One hundredweight is equivalent to about 101 jin, and the price per jin is about 0.7 yuan.
This price is more than half cheaper than domestic prices.
In addition to eating food yourself, food can also be used for trading in the end times, so the more the better.
After calculating the size of the space and the volume that the food would need, Xu Sichen directly asked to purchase one hundred tons.
Upon hearing this, David's face lit up with joy, and his attitude became a little more enthusiastic.
The harvest was great this year, and he was worried about how to sell the rice. He didn't expect that the little girl in front of him would sell off one-fifth of his stock.
Even retail prices are used.
This is much better than the purchase price in the mall.
Xu Sichen naturally knew this, but he just didn't want to waste time arguing with these local tyrants. Anyway, in the end times, money would be useless.
After signing the contract and paying the deposit, both parties agreed on the delivery time and location, and Xu Sichen decided to go to the next farm.
"Hey, lady, do you want to go to Orlando Farm to buy flour?" David suddenly asked.
Xu Sichen nodded and said thoughtfully, "Yes, in addition to flour, I also want to buy oats, potatoes, olive oil, peanut oil, and soybean oil. If there is time, I will also buy some vegetables and fruits, milk, and pork, beef, and mutton."
David's eyes lit up, and then he slapped his thigh. "Oh, dear, why bother going all the way to Orlando for these things? We have them right here. How many do you want? I'll have someone prepare them right away."
Xu Sichen pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Isn't your farm only rice? Where do the other crops come from?"
David scratched his beard and laughed heartily. "I don't have any, but my wife's family does, and so do my brothers and sisters. They all have their own farms that can definitely meet your needs."
Next, Xu Sichen went directly to the nearby farm to purchase under David's leadership.
After confirming that there is no problem with the product, place an order directly.
Buy ten tons of flour, both high-gluten and low-gluten.
Buy ten tons each of corn flour and corn kernels.
5,000 kilograms of potatoes.
5,000 kilograms of pumpkin.
5,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Peanut oil, 10 liters per barrel, buy 100 barrels.
Soybean oil, 10 liters per barrel, buy 100 barrels.
Corn oil, 10 liters per barrel, buy 100 barrels.
Olive oil, 10 liters per barrel, buy 100 barrels.
As for vegetables, Xu Sichen did not buy any because the price was too high, more than twice as high as in China.
After some inquiries, I found out that all farms in Country L use mechanized production.
Although it is also mechanized production, vegetable cultivation requires the use of a variety of equipment, occupies a large area of land, and the labor cost of the final harvest is high, so few people grow it, and the price is naturally much higher.
Xu Sichen did not have too many regrets. He just silently wrote down the purchase of vegetables on his domestic stockpiling list.
Except for bananas and cherries, other fruits had no price advantage, so I bought 500 kilograms of bananas and cherries each.
After visiting the surrounding farms, Xu Sichen followed David to a ranch a few kilometers away and bought five tons of milk.
Each barrel has been disinfected and cleaned. If you want to drink, you can just turn on the switch on the barrel and drink.
Finally, we went to David's brother's farm.
As soon as Xu Sichen saw the scale of the farm, his eyes lit up. This is all meat!
There is a pig on the left, a cow on the right, a sheep on the top, and a chicken on the bottom.
The heads were kept neatly in the fence, and there was no end in sight.
The slaughterhouse is right in the middle. As long as the pigs, cattle and sheep meet the specifications, they will be sent to the conveyor belt and delivered to the processing plant.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the pork will be divided into pieces, vacuum-packed, and packed into boxes.
"Xu, how much meat do you need? Just tell me and I'll ask my brother to give you a discount!"
"Then let's order 1,000 cows, 1,000 pigs, 1,000 sheep, 5,000 chickens, and 10,000 eggs." She had calculated all this in advance and reported it without thinking.
Finally, he added: "Except for the inedible internal organs, all other parts should be kept."
After all, they don't eat leftovers like pig's trotters and chicken feet. If they threw them away to her, she would cry to death.
After going around in circles, Xu Sichen had spent a lot of money and had several more order contracts in his hands.
"David, this is the warehouse address. Please deliver everything here at the agreed time. Remember to call me in advance when you deliver the goods."
David laughed and said, "Happy cooperation!"
Xu Sichen: "Happy cooperation!"
As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Sichen rejected David's request to stay overnight and drove directly to the city.
On the way, we stopped at a gas station to buy gasoline and diesel.
Although there is no purchase limit on gasoline and diesel in Country L, the inventory at gas stations is small.
I went to three gas stations and only bought 4 cubic meters of oil.
It seems that it would be difficult for the Ye family to stock up enough gasoline and diesel, even in Country L, without connections and resources.
The only thing harder than oil is guns.
Although this is quite common among people in L country, after all, as long as they have a legal gun license, they can purchase it.
But Xu Sichen didn’t.
It doesn’t mean we can’t buy it even if we don’t have it. After all, this is Country L, right?
Xu Sichen walked directly into an outdoor sporting goods store called Cahebla and checked all the controlled knives in the store.
The most common daggers, triangular knives, single-edged knives, double-edged knives, triangular-pointed knives, and Swiss Army knives.
There are the H8 multi-purpose bayonet commonly used in the L country army, the Andari jungle machete, the TP0 TNTXO tactical straight knife, and the Buck 177 tactical straight knife.
There are also R-country tachi, naginata, wakizashi, and katana that are similar to China's Tang sword.
"Five of each!" Xu Sichen said lightly, looking at the boss who was playing with his mobile phone.
Hearing this, the boss raised his head and looked at Xu Sichen in disbelief: "Are you sure?"
These knives may look inconspicuous, but each one is incredibly sharp, especially the sabers, which can be used directly on the battlefield.
Therefore, the price is quite high.
Xu Sichen simply placed the card on the counter and motioned him to swipe it.
After paying the bill, Xu Sichen did not leave immediately. Instead, he said to the shop owner, "I also want to buy a ZEV OZ9 pistol."
