Chapter 2 Stockpiling Supplies
She first went to a poultry stall to buy live chickens, ducks, geese, etc., fifty pairs of each type, male and female. Later, when she raised them in her own space, she could hatch the chicks, ducklings, and geese herself, so she didn't need to buy too many.
Then, we went to the game stall and bought 50 pairs of common male and female pigeons, quails, turtledoves, hares, deer, etc. The stall happened to have live pheasants and ducks, which is rare nowadays, so Xia Juanjuan naturally bought them all.
Then we went to the livestock area, where there were piglets, lambs, calves, cows, ponies, mules, donkeys, etc. Except for the fifty mules, the rest were also fifty males and fifty females.
At the river seafood stall, Xia Juanjuan bought various fish fry, shrimp fry, small crabs, etc. The fish fry included grass carp, sea bass, catfish, crucian carp, carp, etc. The shrimps also included various types such as mud shrimp, crayfish, tiger shrimp, etc. The small crabs she bought directly were the fry of Yangcheng Lake Dazha crabs.
At the seafood stall, we bought a lot of tuna, salmon, large and small yellow croaker, hairtail, octopus, squid, various shellfish such as oysters, clams, etc., as well as various kelp and seaweed.
She also bought tens of thousands of kilograms of various feeds for livestock, poultry, fish and shrimp.
Xia Juanjuan asked the store to deliver all the goods to the warehouse in a remote suburban area that she had rented in advance.
These are all in stock and will be delivered in the afternoon. Xia Juanjuan put the purchased materials into the space one by one.
Then, she thought about it and drove to the Chinese herbal medicine market.
In the 1970s, seeing a doctor must have been a very luxurious thing, and medicinal materials were indispensable.
There are many steps required to make Chinese herbal medicines from planting to preparing them into medicines, so in addition to seeds or seedlings of various Chinese herbal medicines, she also bought a lot of ready-made medicines, including ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, astragalus, angelica, cordyceps sinensis, and other precious medicines.
She also prepared aspirin, ibuprofen and other antipyretics, cold medicine, stomach medicine, intestinal medicine and other oral medicines, as well as mercurochrome, gentian violet, iodine, Band-Aids, alcohol, Yunnan Baiyao, anesthetics, gauze, bandages, etc. She even bought a few scalpels and condoms for backup. They were all sent to the warehouse and she put them away one by one.
After a busy day, I bought all the seeds, young plants and medicines.
She was so tired that she fell asleep quickly, and then she had that seventies dream again!
When she woke up again, Xia Juanjuan was 100% sure that this dream was a warning of time travel!
Xia Juanjuan took a deep breath and made an important decision!
She called the director who had been interested in buying her shares and agreed to sell them, but asked him to deposit the funds into her account that same day.
Then, he quickly sold off the villas and luxury cars under his name.
Although it was a rush sale and the price was reduced a lot, but after the cash was converted, the total amount was 1 billion!
Xia Juanjuan exchanged 200 million of it for gold, jewelry, antiques and the like.
In addition, her parents are also very famous antique collectors. She did not sell the antique jewelry left by her parents, but hoarded them all in the space.
Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.
In those days, it was not enough to just have supplies. But the money in the modern world certainly did not circulate, so it was better to stock up on gold and antiques so that you could exchange them for money in an emergency.
With the remaining 800 million, Xia Juanjuan started a crazy shopping mode.
Let's start with food. Yesterday she bought seeds. This time she contacted COFCO, a large state-owned grain company, and ordered 10,000 kilograms of rice, flour, cornmeal, corn kernels, millet, sorghum flour, sweet potato flour, peanuts, etc. 10,000 kilograms of soybean oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil and other cooking oils. 1,000 kilograms of salt, sugar, soy sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, chicken essence, oyster sauce, cumin powder, chili powder and other seasonings. 5,000 kilograms of various dried goods such as various mushrooms, fungus, lotus seeds, etc.
Meat and dairy products, including pork, beef, mutton, rabbit, venison, bacon, sausage, Jinhua ham, salted fish, etc., 10,000 catties each. Cow's milk, goat's milk, cheese, etc., 10,000 catties each.
We also stockpile 10,000 kilograms of poultry eggs, including chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, quail eggs, chicken, duck and goose meat.
As for fresh vegetables, they can be grown from seeds and picked and eaten as soon as they are planted, so Xia Juanjuan did not buy them anymore.
In addition, he bought about fifty oxen, mules, donkeys, etc., which were used specifically for plowing the fields, pulling goods, and grinding mills, just in case of emergency.
There were also farm tools, sickles, hoes, plows, etc., all of which were from the 1960s and 1970s. Xia Juanjuan even bought a tractor, a seed drill, a flour mill, and other farm machinery.
In the countryside of that era, working in the fields was unavoidable, and having the right farm tools was very important.
Then there are various home appliances. There are 10 washing machines, water heaters, refrigerators, color TVs, etc., in case there are no spares in case of failure. There are also juicers, bread machines, ovens, etc. that are used in the kitchen.
Of course, these are all used in the space. After all, it would be strange if people didn’t suspect such advanced things at that time.
However, she has tried it and found that dirty clothes and the like in reality can be brought into the space. She can wash clothes directly in the space with a washing machine, and even take a shower, etc., without any problem.
In addition, she also bought Forever and Phoenix bicycles, radios, black-and-white TVs, pedal-operated sewing machines, etc. that were in line with the characteristics of that era. These were all bought from second-hand goods stalls, they still function well, and the prices are not cheap.
Then there were daily necessities, quilts, blankets, bedding sets, cloth, underwear, cotton-padded clothes, down jackets, and some vintage Mao suits, green military uniforms and other clothes common in that era, as well as embroidered shoes, cloth shoes, etc. The clothes were too obviously of that era, so she didn't prepare anything else except for warmth.
She had several thousand pieces of cloth in stock. In that era, not many ready-made clothes were sold, so most of them were sewed at home or made by tailor shops. She liked handwork, so she could use a sewing machine to make it herself in the future.
After thinking about it, she bought another 1,000 kilograms of the best Xinjiang cotton, goose down and duck down, which could be used to make cotton-padded clothes and quilts in the future.
There was no air conditioning in the 1970s, and it was hard to survive in winter without thick cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Kitchen supplies, pots, pans, and bowls are all large iron pots, enamel basins, enamel bowls, etc. that are characteristic of that era. There are also knives and cutting boards, and even firewood, coal, and briquettes for cooking.
In addition, she also prepared enough daily necessities such as shampoo, shower gel, soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes, as well as towels, bath towels, and sanitary napkins, which are essential for women, to last for more than ten years.
Xia Juanjuan also stocked up a lot of skin care products, which can be used daily. In addition, there are some cosmetics. Although women in that era all went out with bare faces, her makeup skills are good, and she can occasionally put on a light makeup that is not noticeable.
In terms of food, Xia Juanjuan bought hot pot bases of various brands, barbecue ingredients, breakfast items such as steamed buns, fried dough sticks, steamed bread, flower rolls, and sauced biscuits, roast duck, sauced duck, roast goose, roast lamb legs, barbecued pork, and other meals or snacks. Bread, milk, jam, noodles, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot, tea, coffee, etc.
There are also snacks, chocolate, various candies, mousse cakes, cheesecakes, ice cream, whipped cream, condensed milk, milk powder, frosting, various milk teas, lemon black tea, cola, Sprite, Fanta, orange juice and other drinks.
In addition, she also bought five jeeps and Red Flag sedans, which were only available to leaders in those days.
As her savings dwindled, the barn on the farm was filled with all the supplies she had purchased.
Of course, space is infinite, and no matter how much she stockpiles, there will always be room for more.
In space,
Various grains, vegetables and medicinal herbs have been planted in the fields, the orchards are full of peach, pear, cherry and other fruit trees, and there is an economic forest farm planted with poplar, elm and nanmu trees... In addition, various trees such as willow and ginkgo are also planted sporadically on the ridges of the fields and beside the ponds.
In the pasture, dairy cows, yellow cattle and lambs are leisurely eating green grass, piglets in the pigpen are also eating plenty of pig feed, poultry chickens, ducks and geese are enjoying themselves, various fish fry in the pond are chasing water plants and food, and roses, lilies and other flowers are planted near the fences...
After working day and night to stockpile supplies for several days, Xia Juanjuan was so tired that she could not bear it any longer and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long it had been, but suddenly, Xia Juanjuan was hit on the back with a stick, and it was burning with pain!
An old voice cursed: "Little whore, I told you to pretend to be dead! I told you to pretend to be dead! Don't think that you don't have to get married just because you pretend to be dead!"
