"Then there are seasonings. Good food needs a variety of seasonings, so it's best to have them all on hand. That way, I can make whatever I like. I like spicy food, so I can grow some chili peppers. Oh, and peppercorns, Sichuan peppercorns, cumin... are indispensable. They're essential for hot pot, shabu-shabu, and barbecue. There's also light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hehe. Oh, and pickled vegetables, side dishes, and pickled peppers are also essential..."
"Snacks are a must, otherwise I'll die of loneliness on this deserted island. Let's have some dried fruits and candied fruits! By the way, candied fruits don't keep very long, so let's have less of them. I don't want to go without food for the first two years."
"The food preparation is almost done. The rest are the necessities of life. Of course, we need to prepare at least two sets of various cooking utensils. I'm usually too lazy to wash dishes, so it will be troublesome if you're not here. If possible, a dishwasher would be a good idea, hehe! We also need dishes, insulated containers, a rice cooker, an electric griddle, a food processor, a blender, a microwave, an induction cooker, a refrigerator, oh right, and a range hood and stove set."
"After the kitchen, there are also daily necessities, like shampoo and shower gel, my sanitary napkins, bathrobes and towels, and all kinds of skincare products..."
As Lu Yuan kept taking notes and calculating, he knew that Xiao Shan's voice was getting softer and softer, and then she fell asleep...
Wiping the drool from Xiao Shan's mouth, Lu Yuan smiled. This girl was indeed incredibly thoughtful; the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
For the past two days, Lu Yuan has been busy running around to various supermarkets and factory supply centers because there are just too many things he needs to buy. He has to equip as many items as possible, from large electrical appliances to a single grain of rice or a needle. He can't afford to miss a single item.
However, he spent the money very quickly. He withdrew 1.9 million yuan in cash from the bank using a bearer check and transferred 1.7 million yuan to Du Heng. Now that he had money, he could renovate as needed. It's just money, after all.
He went to the bank again to exchange the hundreds of thousands of foreign currency, and ended up with more than two million in his hands. Now Lu Yuan had a huge sum of more than two million two hundred thousand, and he gradually began to show the characteristics of a nouveau riche when it came to spending money, at least that's what he thought.
The first day's purchase of daily necessities, hardware, electrical appliances, etc. cost 800,000 yuan. Almost all kinds of household appliances were purchased. Because Lu Yuan purchased so many things, the owner of the supply center personally received him and promised to provide the best products. He also gave him a 10% discount on the price, saving him 70,000 yuan.
Next up is the grain. However, since the underground warehouse at home is not yet completed, Lu Yuan could only contact the grain bureau in advance to get a list and pay a deposit, waiting to load the grain as soon as the warehouse is built.
Two days later.
Wei Xiaoshan looked at Lu Yuan in confusion, then pointed timidly to a clothing store behind her and said, "Why...why did you bring me here? I don't need any clothes."
"Xiao Shan, look at me!" Lu Yuan pulled Wei Xiao Shan in front of him, staring intently at her as he said, "Today is a class reunion, and I'm bringing my wife, so of course you need to dress up beautifully! Go on! I, Young Master Lu, will pay for everything today!"
"But... this is too expensive! The cheapest clothes there cost several thousand yuan. Let's forget about it! I know you have compensation money from the demolition, but you can't spend it like this!"
Finally, under Lu Yuan's coercion and enticement, Wei Xiaoshan gave in and came out of the fitting room wearing a pink woolen dress, almost unable to walk.
Lu Yuan finally understood why his wife always looked so ordinary. It turned out the problem wasn't with her, but with her clothes. She was used to buying clothes online that cost less than 500 yuan in total. No matter who wore them, they didn't look classy. They say clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. You really need to have a couple of presentable items to show off to your wife!
The bill came to 36,000 yuan: 14,000 yuan for clothes, 7,000 yuan for pants, 8,000 yuan for shoes, and a bag. After leaving the store, Wei Xiaoshan was afraid of getting her clothes dirty, so she kept avoiding people and complaining to Lu Yuan. However, you could tell from her expression that she liked pretty clothes, but felt it was too wasteful of money.
However, it doesn't matter if it happens only once in a while, since Lu Yuan managed to get so much money out of the safe, and there were also a few gold bars in his spatial storage. In the apocalypse, these are hard currency, much more valuable than the numbers on a bank card.
Six months after the apocalypse, the currency devaluation rate skyrocketed, and prices soared. One day, 10,000 yuan could buy ten heads of cabbage, but the next day it could only buy one. Inflation led to a severe economic crisis, and gold once again became a hard currency. However, compared to gold, people preferred to buy food.
After changing his clothes, Lu Yuan took his girlfriend by taxi to the Marriott Hotel, a five-star hotel. The spacious fountain in front of the hotel sprayed water day and night, and the more than ten-story building exuded an extremely grand atmosphere. The waiters in the door were dressed in neat uniforms and greeted and saw off every guest with smiles.
Lu Yuanyuan spotted Du Heng, who was wearing a black coat, from afar.
"They're here." Du Heng got straight to the point. He had just finished decorating Lu Yuan's villa, and was still making some adjustments to the later details. He had been staying in the villa every day for the past few days, and if he found any problems, he would call someone to fix them immediately without waiting a moment.
"Yes, they're here. Let's go in! I see several classmates from our class have arrived."
With his girlfriend and Du Heng, the three of them entered the hotel.
From afar, you could see Liu Chen, whose face was covered in acne, chatting and laughing with Dai He. Meanwhile, Feng Bei, dressed like a nouveau riche, was holding a cigarette and talking to a plain-looking young man. His tone was authoritative, and the young man could only nod and smile obsequiously. He was Hu Yun, the boy who was often bullied in class. He had shared a dorm room with Feng Bei for four years in college and had washed Feng Bei's clothes for four years. Later, he became Feng Bei's follower.
Seeing Lu Yuan approaching with his girlfriend and Du Heng, the group waved to each other.
"Hey! Isn't this Lu Yuan? You've even got a girlfriend! Not bad! Oh ho, Du Heng, I almost didn't recognize you. I didn't expect you to still be in contact with Lu Yuan!" Feng Bei said, pulling Lu Yuan and Du Heng along with a cigarette in his mouth. Lu Yuan frowned and subtly stepped back.
Du Heng stared coldly at Feng Bei without saying a word.
The two had a conflict. The reason Du Heng chose to switch majors was not only because he liked architecture, but also because he had some connection with Feng Bei. It was said that Feng Bei slept with Du Heng's girlfriend whom he had been pursuing since high school, and even caught them in the act at a love hotel. It was quite dramatic, and Lu Yuan felt very sorry for him.
Feng Bei was rebuffed, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled awkwardly and pulled Hu Yun to chat with other people.
