August 21, 2022, Y City, 5 am.
In a luxurious villa in the city center, Shen Yao, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, dreamed of that strange place again. There were withered grasses everywhere, it was desolate and supplies were extremely scarce. The people in the dream were not only hungry and cold, but also very thin. Men, women, old and young were all pale and thin, with high cheekbones and deep eye sockets, looking like skeletons, which was extremely scary.
"ah--"
Shen Yao suddenly sat up from the bed, her eyes still showing the panic and trance of being awakened by a nightmare. She couldn't help but reach out and rub her aching head. It took her a long time to feel herself recover.
“It’s that scene again.”
Shen Yao sat on the bed and murmured softly, recalling the scene in her dream just now, which made her feel extremely uneasy.
Because everything in that scene was so real, so real that it felt like I was living there.
Shen Yao suppressed the abnormality in her heart, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, and simply put on some light makeup to successfully cover up the haggardness on her face. Then she turned around and went to the cloakroom.
Shen Yao picked out a set of casual shorts from her closet and put them on. She looked at herself in the mirror and breathed a sigh of relief when she thought she looked pretty good.
Afterwards, Shen Yao sat on the sofa with a hanging basket and stared blankly.
She sat on the hanging sofa in front of the French window, looking out at the sea of flowers in her own garden, her thoughts drifting away...
Shen Yao kept thinking about the abnormalities of the past few days in her mind, associating them with the various time-travel novels she usually read, as well as the stories her grandmother told her about their lives in difficult times when she was a child. During difficult times, countless people were hungry because they had nothing to eat, and many people were so hungry that they ate Guanyin soil and chewed tree bark due to lack of food. Their lives were very hard.
She also thought about how she had been lucky since she was a child, and how her good luck had allowed her to avoid danger many times.
So, could this be a warning from God, suggesting that I will travel back to difficult times?
＞Shen Yao started to panic. Why did she have to travel back to decades ago when she could wear any other clothes? In that era, everything was in short supply. Ordinary people had to work hard in the fields every day to earn work points. Not only were they exhausted every day, but the most important thing was that they could not even have a full meal.
If she were to travel back in time, how would she survive? She has never even done farm work, she would starve to death.
Although she has always had a space where she usually grows various medicinal herbs, grains, fruits, vegetables and raises poultry, she always uses her mind to control the planting and has never done it with her own hands. She probably doesn't even know how to hold a hoe with her white and tender hands.
However, since abnormalities have appeared, and even the space spirit has fallen into a deep sleep since yesterday, she can no longer sit and wait for death. Who knows when she will travel through time and space in this situation, so she has to make preparations in advance.
She didn't want to stay at home and wait for something to happen. She had hundreds of millions of assets and plenty of space. Wouldn't it be stupid not to stock up on supplies?
After all, what was most lacking in difficult times was supplies. Shen Yao did not hesitate and took action immediately.
She first sold the company left to her by her parents after their death and the brand clothing factory she later founded, and then sold all the stocks she had.
Shen Yao also knew that her actions would definitely cause quite a stir, but she couldn't tell anyone about this abnormal thing. Was she going to tell others that she might travel back to decades ago?
I guess others would just think she’s out of her mind, so she could only say that she was tired and wanted to have a good rest.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yao put all the usable items in the two villas and several luxury cars in the garage into the space, and then hurried to sell her two villas.
Because the two houses she had were in very good locations, with excellent locations and large land areas. Therefore, even if she had to sell them urgently, she still managed to get a lot of money from them.
During this period, Shen Yao also opened a separate account and deposited 200 million yuan into it, and asked a lawyer to help her make a will.
If I die unexpectedly one day, all my property will be used to establish an orphan relief foundation to provide assistance to disabled children in orphanages.
It took Shen Yao a few days to convert all the assets under her name into cash, and she began to buy and hoard various supplies on a large scale.
The next morning, Shen Yao went to a remote suburb to rent a dozen temporary warehouses. Then, she drove to the largest wholesale market in Y City and found the person in charge there. "Manager Li, I want to open a department store and need to wholesale a large amount of grain, oil and dry goods. So you have to be a little bit cheaper and more affordable."
"No problem, Ms. Shen. You can rest assured about the price. What do you need, and how much do you need?"
"We need 200,000 kilograms of rice and flour each. We need the best rice, and we also need flour of better quality and taste."
"That's no problem. We will definitely prepare the goods according to Miss Shen's requirements." Manager Li nodded.
"We need 50,000 catties each of millet, brown rice, cornmeal, corn kernels, dark flour, sorghum flour, coarse and fine wheat bran, and sweet potato flour; 30,000 catties each of red beans, mung beans, soybeans, black beans, sesame seeds, glutinous rice, purple rice, and black rice; and 20,000 catties each of soybean oil, peanut oil, tea oil, rapeseed oil, and sesame oil.
Then, 20,000 kilograms of salt, soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, black fungus, mushrooms, and other dried goods, and all other spices. Oh, and 30,000 kilograms of white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, and dried noodles, too."
Shen Yao thought that only fine grains would not be enough. Life would be too hard by then, and she would surely be envied if she always ate fine grains, so she had to prepare some coarse grains as well.
"Okay, Miss Shen, do you need anything else?" Manager Li said with a smile.
"Do you have daily necessities for wholesale? For example, quilts and toiletries." Daily necessities are also necessary, so Shen Yao prepared everything she could, and they had to be simple and wear-resistant. After all, they were too luxurious and could not be used in poverty.
"Yes, we have a wholesale area for daily necessities, and we have a comprehensive range of products."
"Then please prepare for me 60 quilts, down quilts, silk quilts, and blankets weighing 5 to 10 kilograms each, 600 sets of four-piece bedding sets, all in plain colors, dirt-resistant and wear-resistant, as well as 600 boxes of shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap, laundry detergent, washing powder, detergent, and towels, bath towels, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, all of which must be unscented."
"These are all I need for now. Manager Li, please help me prepare them. I'll send the address to your phone and I'll deliver it directly to the warehouse when the time comes."
