Chapter 5 Various Stockpiles of Supplies (2)
There are green vegetables, cabbages, emerald green cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes and various other vegetables.
The boss was so happy that he immediately took Qin Muxue to the granary to check the rice.
"These are the rice that was just harvested this year. I promise they will taste sweet."
Qin Muxue touched a handful of rice and indeed smelled a fresh fragrance, not the smell of stale rice.
The farmer explained, "The granary next to it is full of last year's rice. You can compare them. We are in business and cannot disappoint our customers. We keep the old rice for ourselves."
"I want all the new rice! I'll find a truck to load it up."
Qin Muxue saw that the quality of the rice was good, so she paid for it immediately without any hesitation.
The farmer was delighted. After all, he had made such a big deal and could finally take his daughter for surgery. He insisted on inviting Qin Muxue to have dinner with him.
"No, no, you don't have to be polite. This is a business, and it's only natural to exchange money for goods."
The farmer shook his head and said, "Little girl, I am very grateful that you didn't lower the price."
This was the first time he had met such a straightforward buyer. In the past, some people who claimed to be big bosses came to buy rice, and even if they didn't buy much, they would bargain.
Qin Muxue, who had just arrived after a long journey, felt her stomach growling. She scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "I am indeed hungry."
So she stopped refusing and stayed to have lunch at the farmer's house.
The farmer treated her to the best food in his home, including steamed bacon and Chinese sausage, pork ribs freshly slaughtered from the neighboring farm, old duck soup, and some fried organic vegetables.
Every dish has the original flavor of the ingredients, and she thinks fresh ingredients are the most delicious.
It’s just the simplest method, the old duck soup is extremely delicious and the ribs are also meaty and tender.
"This duck soup has some wild mushrooms from the mountains and some salt, nothing else. How does it taste?"
Qin Muxue drank a large bowl and said, "It tastes delicious! Thank you for your hospitality."
A pale little girl walked out of the room next door. She watched Qin Muxue eat meat and swallowed her saliva.
"Big sister, I want to eat meat too."
"Then let's eat together!"
The farmer shook his head and said, "Alas, my daughter has a malignant tumor. She will vomit if she eats meat. She can only eat porridge and side dishes usually. I'm really sorry." Tears welled up in the farmer's eyes as he spoke. He wiped them away so as not to let the other party see.
Qin Muxue didn't know how to help him, but she thought the little girl was very sensible. She also picked a bunch of wild flowers and gave them to Qin Muxue, saying that this was the first time she saw such a beautiful big sister.
"Uncle, are you selling these bacon? I want them all. If you have chicken, duck, fish, or these spare ribs, you can sell them to me."
"Actually, there's no need..."
"It's okay. They are all what I need. I'm going to buy them anyway. I saw the ducks here and the meat tastes good. I'll just buy some!"
The farmer said, "Most of the farmers here have adult pigs for sale, as well as beef, chickens, ducks, geese, etc. If you want, little girl, I can find some reliable families for you."
Qin Muxue was not polite. It was great to have someone to help her. She could buy some fresh and affordable meat.
Besides, her space has the function of preserving freshness, so these things will not rot if put in there. Of course, the more the better.
She bought dozens of slaughtered pigs, as well as some chickens, ducks and fish in the village. Even when she left, she was escorted out by the villagers. They also specially gave Qin Muxue a lot of fruits.
Before leaving, Qin Muxue slipped a note to the farmer, "Here is my contact information. If you go to a large hospital in North City, you can contact me. I can help you contact an oncologist."
"Thank you, you are such a nice person."
No matter what industry the other party is in, Qin Muxue never looks down on those who support themselves. She just bought the fruits of their family's labor, and contacting experts was just a piece of cake. She was very happy to help others.
Looking at the rolling hills in the village, she sighed, but... all this beautiful scenery will be destroyed by natural disasters in half a year.
Qin Muxue went to the next county, a place rich in fruits, and bought several tons of various fruits, including watermelons, strawberries, oranges, tangerines, grapes, and everything else.
Before leaving, he reminded the simple villagers: "There have been frequent typhoons recently, so you should prepare more things at home."
The villagers didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, we farmers have plenty of food at home, and we have land and several piglets at home."
Qin Muxue nodded, "That's good."
She asked the driver to transport these things to a warehouse.
After everyone left, she stuffed all these things into the space.
And this space seems to be endless. Even if it is filled with so many things, there is still no end in sight.
After finishing all these things and returning to Xuanwu City, she hurried home and found Manman was already feeding the cat at home.
When Baozhu saw her come back, she immediately came over and rubbed her trouser legs at her feet. Qin Muxue touched her head, and then the kitten hiding in the corner also came over. It was a calico cat with three mixed colors on its body. If nothing unexpected happened, it was a little female cat.
"Manman, you took good care of them, thank you!"
"They are all small things. Besides, I like cats and dogs very much. Your Baozhu and Xiaomi are also very well behaved. By the way, does Xiaomi have a name?"
"I didn't have time to think of this! Why don't you just leave it to you, Manman?"
Ding Manman looked at the harmonious appearance of Baozhu and the kitten together and thought for a moment, "Since the dog is called Baozhu, then let's name this cat Zhenzhu! How do you think?"
Qin Muxue smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Mi, from now on you have a name. This is your sister Baozhu. From now on you will be called Zhenzhu~"
Pearl made a gentle cat sound of "meow meow meow", as if she was very satisfied with the name.
It raised its head and looked at its tall master, then looked at Baozhu, who looked mighty and ferocious but actually cared about her very much, and felt warm in its heart.
She was already dying, but they saved her and gave her goat's milk and canned food.
Ding Manman looked at the time and found that it was almost five o'clock. "I have to go back to school first. It's really lonely for you to live here alone, Xiaoxue."
Ding Manman looked around. This was a two-bedroom, one-living-room house, just right for two girls. It had a spacious living room and a balcony with a wide view. All the furniture was available. Although they were not famous brands, they were practical. To be honest, she was very tempted by Qin Muxue's invitation.
But she was still a little hesitant and wanted to talk more. After all, this place was quite far from the school, and it would be very inconvenient to commute to school, and she couldn't make up her mind.
"Muxue, don't you think this place is far from school?"
Qin Muxue took this into consideration and deliberately chose a remote location.
"Actually it's okay. I just bought a car, so it's very convenient. I'll take you to school!" Qin Mu took out a bunch of brand new keys.
“When did you buy a new car?”
When Ding Manman saw the car, her eyes were filled with surprise. "Didn't we agree to save money together to buy an RV for traveling? Did you really buy it?"
"Well, how about you take a look inside?"
Qin Muxue had made some modifications inside the RV, and it was equipped with all kinds of small accessories that were suitable for girlish purposes. She also bought a projector so that she could watch movies even when resting on the roadside.
The RV is top-of-the-line and has almost everything, including a solar system, a water circulation system, a flush toilet, a shower room that is just big enough for one person, and a small table that can be turned into a bed when lowered. Everything is so perfect.
The rear of the car is also equipped with a small compartment for cooking in the wild. It can be folded down to shelter from wind and rain, and there are also some basic kitchen supplies.
"It's perfect! Xiaoxue, you are really rich. This car must be expensive!"
The top-of-the-line luxury saloon is of course not cheap, but it is much more cost-effective than the sports car. "It's not expensive, and we agreed to travel together, didn't we? So I bought it."
Ding Manman looked at her best friend excitedly, "So you haven't forgotten our agreement."
They went to the same school in high school and had a very good relationship at that time. The wish they wrote in their graduation album was to travel around the world together.
It turned out that Qin Muxue had never forgotten the agreement between them.
"Let me take you back to school first!" Qin Muxue smiled.
She got her driver's license during the summer after she graduated from high school, but she never had the chance to drive. Just now, she drove all the way back and found that driving is not difficult as long as you are careful and brave.
Ding Manman was in the car, chattering about her fantasies about the future all the way. Qin Muxue really couldn't bear to tell her that the end of the world was coming.
Let's let Manman adapt for a while first. At least during this period, she should be free of burden and spend it happily.
When they arrived at the school gate, Qin Muxue bought a big bag of snacks that Manman liked in the supermarket and gave them to her. "Be careful not to stay up late. Eat whenever you want. Don't feel burdened."
She knew that Manman was actually very poor, her uncle and aunt were very stingy, and she usually lived on tutoring, student loans and scholarships.
But even so, Manman treated her very generously. I give you a favor, and I return it with a plum. Kindness is mutual. Manman treats her well, so she naturally treats Manman well too.
"Xiaoxue, I can't accept it."
"Do you still consider me a good friend? You must accept it!"
Looking at the other person's determined eyes, Ding Manman could only take the bag and felt warm in her heart in an instant.
After sending Ding Manman to school, Qin Muxue went to the food street near the school.
It is a bustling and prosperous scene here, but who would have known that in five months, it would become a ruin. The tsunami would first reach this coastal city and everything here would be submerged.
Young couples holding hands, children jumping around, white-haired old people, and more are energetic college students.
Smelling the aroma of barbecue in the food street, Qin Muxue sat in front of the stall, "Boss, give me ten skewers of lamb, ten skewers of lamb."
The boss looked at the frail, thin girl and said, "Little girl, can you eat so much by yourself?"
"Don't worry, boss. I promise not to waste what I can eat!" The barbecue skewers are simply delicious, and she can eat more.
The boss laughed, "This is the first time I've seen a girl who eats so much."
The aroma of mutton skewers filled the air. Qin Muxue's mouth was watering. Ever since she was reborn, she wanted to eat everything she saw. In her previous life, in order to maintain her figure, she didn't dare to eat this or that. But in the end of the world, even bugs would eat them. Now, mutton and beef skewers were simply delicacies on earth.
"Little girl, it's ready. I've given you a skewer as a gift. Come and patronize us often!" Qin Muxue looked at the boss's warm smile and felt a little reluctant to see all this disappear soon.
Maybe I will never be able to eat such delicious lamb skewers again.
"Boss! Another bottle of beer please!" Qin Muxue shouted.
"Okay."
"Boss, where is your hometown?"
"My hometown is in the Northeast. It's very cold there in winter. It's not like here where it's summer all year round." The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The Northeast is a good place. Even at the end of the world, the people there have extremely strong survival abilities. Also, because it is inland, it has not been hit by tsunamis. The winters in the Northeast are also extremely cold, and the extreme cold weather is no more than minus 80 degrees Celsius.
"Boss, don't you miss your children and wife?" she asked calmly.
“I do, but isn’t this for the purpose of making money?”
Yes, it’s all for making money. If it weren’t for making money, who would be willing to drift around?
"I advise you to go home early. Although making money is important, spending time with your family is more important." If you stay here, your life will be in danger.
The lamb skewers tasted very delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, just right. Qin Muxue ate the lamb skewers while drinking beer.
"Boss, give me a thousand skewers of lamb and beef!"
"Ah?" The boss looked surprised. He must have heard it wrong.
"I think it tastes great. I want to buy more and store it at home so I don't have to go out to find food."
Although this reason was far-fetched, the boss still asked again: "Little girl, don't make fun of me. This is the amount I sold in several days. Why do you store so much? How long will it take to eat it all?"
Qin Muxue didn't say much, and scanned the QR code on the table to pay. "This is half of the deposit. I'll come to pick it up in two days. You can prepare it first. I'm not kidding you."
The boss opened his mouth wide, until the sound of collecting money came, he finally reacted, "Oh oh oh, okay, or I'll just send it to you! So you don't have to come to get it."
Qin Muxue left him an address and was about to leave when she saw an uninvited guest.
It turned out to be the burly man who tried to force her but failed and killed Baozhu in the previous life. She clenched her fists and looked at the man not far away for a long time, unable to calm down.
"Boss, do you know that man?"
"Oh, him, I know him. He's a well-known thug on this street. He's very strong and good at fighting. We always stay away from him when we see him. Don't mess with him." The boss said in a low voice, and he glanced in the direction of the burly man. "That guy especially likes to mess with young girls. You should leave as soon as you finish eating."
The boss saw that the girl in front of him was fair-skinned and pretty, and was afraid that she would suffer a loss.
Qin Muxue smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, boss."
Sure enough, the burly man came over as soon as he saw Qin Muxue, blocking her way out. The boss pleaded, "Brother, please don't bully this little girl for my sake. She is my old customer."
"Who do you think you are? You still want to order me around? Get out of here!" The burly man pushed the boss aside, and the boss fell to the ground with blood on his head.
Qin Muxue frowned tightly. Before the apocalypse, she liked to wear heavy makeup, and after the apocalypse, she covered her face with mud. Unexpectedly, her bare face now attracted the attention of this man.
"Little sister, are you a student at a university nearby? Do you want to play with big brother?" The burly man walked up to her with a frivolous look on his face.
"Oh? What to play?" she asked calmly and without showing any emotion.
"Of course it's a game for adults. There's a bar over there. Would you like me to treat you to a couple of drinks?" It's his usual tactic to get people drunk so that he can attack them.
"Okay, may I know your name, big brother?"
This female college student was indeed well-educated and spoke in an elegant manner. The sturdy man replied, "My name is Yu Cheng. Let's go, little sister."
"Wait a moment." Qin Muxue helped the boss beside her up. The boss was still winking at her, telling her not to follow the man to the bar.
Qin Muxue just looked calm and said lightly: "Boss, it's okay, you go to the hospital to bandage your wound first, go quickly, I will reimburse the medical expenses." In fact, she was finding an excuse to let the boss leave quickly.
She followed the burly man into the brightly lit bar.
This is a bar frequented by students from the neighborhood. As soon as I walked in, I saw many familiar faces.
But Qin Muxue had no friends at school except Ding Manman. Everyone just looked at her as if she was making a fool of herself and didn't want to help her.
In a private room of the bar, a group of senior biology students were celebrating their upcoming graduation. Only Sheng Xingyuan was alone in the corner, not drinking, analyzing biological data with his computer.
"This is unscientific. Why is this algae evolving so quickly?"
The classmate next to him came up and poured him a glass of wine, "Sheng Xingyuan, the school hunk, you are still studying this by yourself. Our projects are all finished. Don't think about those unimportant things. We are about to graduate. Come and have a drink together!"
A large group of people were in a mess. Sheng Xingyuan pushed the frame of his glasses and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to the bathroom first."
When he came out after washing his hands, he found that the junior high school girl who liked to show off and always wore heavy makeup was standing next to a rough man. He vaguely remembered that he and the junior high school girl did not have a very good relationship. The two had several very unpleasant exchanges and were sworn enemies targeting each other.
The big man kept pouring wine for her to drink, and even tried to secretly put drugs in her glass...
