Guo Jun and Zhang Tingting, a young couple, got up early, filled up their car with gas, got dressed, and prepared to go out to stock up on supplies before setting off.
Guo Jun first went to inquire near his workplace about any warehouses available for rent and saw the familiar gatekeeper.
The security guard said, "Young man, I haven't seen you at the company much lately."
"Sir, I've quit my job and I was wondering if there are any warehouses available for rent around here? My wife and I would like to store some things."
The old man nodded and said, "I heard that a warehouse 3,000 meters to the left of the intersection just closed down. Go and ask them."
Guo Jun and Zhang Tingting smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. We'll go take a look right away."
Guo Jun and Tingting drove to the warehouse and called the phone number posted there.
"Hello, I'd like to ask if you're renting out this warehouse?"
Upon hearing this, the warehouse landlord rushed over.
"Are you two the ones who want to rent a warehouse?" the landlord asked.
“Yes, we want to rent it for one month. How much do you think it costs?” Jianjun asked him.
"One month? This warehouse is quite large, give me 5,000." The landlord replied earnestly.
"What are you going to do with this? Why are you renting such a big warehouse?"
Zhang Tingting said, "We want to put our furniture here. We're planning to sell the house, but we don't have enough time right now. We need to let the house go, but the owner has already made a decision."
The landlord said, "Okay, here's the key. Now pay up."
Guo Jun said, "Okay, no problem," and then paid. After renting the warehouse, the couple prepared to drive to their next location.
Zhang Tingting and Guo Jun went to a nearby wholesale grain and oil store to buy rice, flour, and cooking oil!
"Hello, I'd like to buy some rice, flour, cooking oil, and other groceries," Jianjun said to the shopkeeper.
A middle-aged man was carrying rice and flour, and without even looking up, he said, "How much do you want?"
"I want 100,000 jin of rice and 100,000 jin of wheat flour..." Jianjun said.
"How much?" the shop owner looked up in surprise and said, "So much? I can't come up with that much right now."
"Can we make a reservation?" the young couple asked.
"Sure, but you'll have to pay a deposit first," the shop owner said excitedly, after all, this was a big deal.
"No problem, I'm in a bit of a hurry, could you deliver it as soon as possible?"
"Then you should pay the deposit first, and it will be delivered to your address within 5 days."
"By the way, I need 5,000 barrels of soybean oil and 5,000 barrels of peanut oil from your store," Tingting and Jianjun said, looking at him.
"Sure, no problem. You can pay first, leave your phone number, and we'll deliver it to you."
"Thank you, boss." The two prepared to leave and continue to their next destination.
The two drove to the morning market and saw a stall selling whole grains. They said, "Hello, how much are your red beans, corn, millet... and how many do you have?"
The stall owner said, "That's all for now, but I can deliver more if you need it."
"Okay, I'll leave you a deposit for these. You need 10,000 jin of millet and 5,000 jin of each of the other grains. Deliver them to this warehouse and call me when they arrive."
"Okay, don't worry, there won't be any problems," the stall owner said happily.
With a tight schedule and heavy workload, Guo Ting and her husband quickly set off for their next destination.
The two arrived at the spice shop, ready to do a big shopping spree.
"Hello, what would you like to buy?" the shopkeeper said.
"We want to buy more seasonings. We need 5,000 bottles of oyster sauce, 20,000 bags of salt, 10,000 bags of MSG and chicken essence, 10,000 bottles of soy sauce, 2,000 bottles of vinegar, cinnamon, star anise, thirteen-spice powder, etc."
"Wait, so many of them, what are you going to do with them?"
“Our family runs a restaurant, so we need a lot of things.”
"Can you deliver?" Tingting asked doubtfully.
"Sure, why don't you write down everything you want to buy on this list, and we'll deliver it to you while you pay a deposit?"
"Okay, by the way, do you have any white sugar?"
When the proprietress heard her ask this, she knew it was a big business opportunity and immediately replied, "We have everything, just see how much you need."
I need 5,000 jin of white sugar and 10,000 jin of brown sugar (without ginger). The rest of the ingredients I need are listed here. Please deliver them to the warehouse for me.
The proprietress said excitedly, "No problem, I'll deliver it to your warehouse in 3 days."
Tingting said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble. We'll be going now."
The two returned to their car, having been busy all day, and prepared to have lunch before continuing to stockpile supplies in the afternoon.
