As dawn broke, Li Yao woke up around 7:30 or 8:00 as usual. She had a biological clock and would wake up at the appointed time. Using the remote, she opened the curtains of the French windows, stretched, and then listened to the news while washing up.
"Today in XG, it will be cloudy turning sunny, with a high of 24.8°C. Here is today's latest news..."
Li Yao's Cantonese is so-so, so she switched to CCTV News.
"In recent days, several supermarkets in H City have experienced large influxes of shoppers for three consecutive days, with most supermarkets being emptied. Our reporter would like to remind citizens that domestic food reserves are currently sufficient. Please purchase only what you need. Those who like to stock up should buy enough for 3-5 days at a time to ensure vegetables and fruits are kept at their best for freshness..."
The following is international news. According to the latest news from the Global Times, the number of missing overseas military bases of the Flag State has been counted to 387, including undisclosed secret bases. The losses caused are currently impossible to quantify. International oil prices continue to rise, and this week the Flag State to Dragon State exchange rate is 4.35…
Li Yao was also shocked. This exchange rate must be at an all-time low. But then again, Li Yao had taken over many production lines for aircraft, arms, and scientific research, affecting the entire high-end industrial chain. It would be strange if the GDP didn't decline. In the past, the emergence of 5G alone could bring the exchange rate down to 5.82. If it weren't for the sanctions imposed by the United States on telecommunications companies, China might have been able to use its telecommunications technology to strangle the West.
After washing up, Li Yao called for breakfast. Today's hotel breakfast was Hong Kong-style dim sum: seafood congee, rice noodle rolls, char siu buns, milk buns, pineapple buns, Hong Kong-style iced milk tea, and coffee. Li Yao was quite satisfied with the meal.
Today's plan is still to collect things. Yesterday, Li Yao saw a tobacco and liquor store while shopping and then remembered that she hadn't bought anything because she doesn't smoke and rarely drinks liquor. But then she thought that tobacco and liquor are hard currency in the apocalypse. If she really needs to get close to someone, giving tobacco and liquor would be less dangerous than giving food. Although Li Yao is invincible, she is cautious. Even ants can trip up elephants, let alone when she is alone. So she should be cautious where necessary.
Since cigarettes and alcohol are difficult to transport by plane, Li Yao mentally called out to the system: "[6834, have Dazhuang buy some good liquor and cigarettes, and some regular ones too. Buy a variety of liquors, including Maotai, Zhuyeqing, Xifeng, Fenjiu, Wuliangye, Yanghe, Laojiao, Langjiu, Gujinggong, Jiannanchun, and Dongjiu. Get a bottle of each. Buy them from the supermarkets near the office building. Buy the expensive cigarettes.]"
System response: [Good host]
A moment later, Dazhuang came to report: "Master, Dazhuang bought Huanghelou-Liujin Suiyue, Liqun-Fuchun Shanju, Hetianxia-Zunshang 5000, Taishan-Fuguang Tin Can, Jinsheng-Zhisheng Chushan, Huangjinye-Tianzhiye, Dazhongjiu-9+1, Huanghelou-Zhongguo Meng, Yuxi-Huaye, and Maoshi Cigars. These are all expensive. For ordinary ones, he bought Zhonghua, Liqun, Furongwang, Hongtashan, and NJ, which are brands commonly sold in stores. Dazhuang bought 5,000 cartons of each."
Li Yao thought Da Zhuang's shopping list was acceptable. These items wouldn't deteriorate in her [Infinite Space], so it should be enough for exchanging information when needed.
Li Yao checked the time and it was almost 9 o'clock, so she started using the [teleportation portal] to collect the noodles. In the Northwest, people usually eat ramen for breakfast, so the delivery time for ramen is around 9 o'clock. After Li Yao finished collecting the noodles at 11 o'clock, she got up from the sofa, took a glass of juice from the refrigerator, and used the call bell to call Liu Jie to order lunch.
When Liu Jie knocked on the door and came in, he was holding a tablet menu. Li Yao glanced at it and saw that the menu included crab crepes with lobster sauce, Zurich veal, French lobster wontons, a small portion of roasted lamb chops, black pepper lamb leg, soufflé, baked cheese, a glass of juice, a bottle of wine, a glass of sparkling water, and a fruit platter.
Liu Jie calmly left after ordering, seemingly unsurprised by Li Yao's appetite, and the service was quite attentive.
Li Yao thought about the menu she had just looked at; it featured many innovative dishes that combined Chinese and Western elements. She suddenly missed traditional Chinese food. Many of the elaborate dishes she wouldn't be able to eat again in the future. So, Li Yao called the system [6834, asking Da Zhuang to use a virtual account to order some traditional Chinese dishes such as Spicy Chicken, Spicy Crab, Dongpo Pork, Longjing Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, Twice-Cooked Pork, Dongpo Pork Knuckle, Mao Xue Wang (a spicy blood curd dish), Sliced Beef and Offal in Chili Sauce, Taibai Duck, Boiled Chicken, Dongpo Cuttlefish, Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth, Wensi Tofu, Five-Willow Fish, Crab Stuffed Orange, Boiled Sliced Pork, Snowflake Chicken Soup, Sesame Sauce Chicken Tail, Braised Pork in a Jar, Braised Pork Belly, Braised Pork with Preserved Mustard Greens, Celery and Yellow Croaker Shreds, Braised Dried Tofu Shreds, and Fish-Flavored Shredded Pork, etc. Order from established, reputable restaurants; if they don't have the full menu, order from a combination of dishes. Order 20,000 servings of each dish, one serving of each dish with white rice. Once ordered, schedule the order.]
The system replied: "Okay, host received."
Li Yao thought about all the vegetables she had, the food she had stockpiled before, and the entire country's food reserves. She was sure she had enough to eat. Now she could just go out and have fun and buy whatever delicious food she came across.
Li Yao had always felt a sense of urgency. No one could predict what the world would be like 10, 50, or 100 years after the apocalypse. So Li Yao always planned for the worst, that is, if the world could not produce anything, she would be completely self-sufficient. In that case, without considering changes in the external environment, she could live a high-quality life by creating her own system and space.
Speaking of fancy dishes, Li Yao added another order for Da Zhuang, asking him to order Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. This dish takes three days to prepare, and the ingredients alone cost tens of thousands of yuan. More advanced ingredients take a week to prepare, and even if you have the money, you might not be able to get a reservation. So Li Yao told Da Zhuang, "Da Zhuang, order from high-end restaurants in China, and make sure you have enough before May next year. Order as many as you can, and get the high-end version."
"Yes, Master, Dazhuang guarantees to complete the mission!" Dazhuang said happily.
Just a moment later, the doorbell rang; Li Yao's meal had arrived. Liu Jie set it out, said "Enjoy your meal," and left.
Li Yao was also hungry. The crab crepes with lobster sauce were both seafood, and the aroma was rich and delicious. The Zurich veal was tender and juicy, and the French lobster wontons were small and delicate, perfect for a single bite. The small portion of roasted lamb chops and black pepper lamb leg were juicy and tender, and they were perfect with a sip of wine. She ate heartily, enjoying the meat and wine. Li Yao also finished off the soufflé and grilled cheese. The dessert was relaxing and pleasant, and Li Yao was even a little sleepy after the meal.
