Chapter 2 Wholesale Market Stockpiling



Ah, found it.

Staying home and stocking up on these eight food categories will keep the whole family from going hungry for a month.

Interesting. Jiang Shu clicked in to take a look and decided to follow this person's advice.

Staple foods are the main source of protein, fat, minerals, and calories for the human body. Because they can be dried and dehydrated before being sold, they are also very easy to store and keep for a long time.

There happened to be a grain and oil store right in front of me, so I asked about the prices of rice, millet, and flour. A bag of these cost 100 jin (50 kg).

5 bags of Northeast fragrant rice, 5 bags of Wuchang rice, and 10 bags of organic fragrant rice.

5 bags of Northeast yellow millet, 5 bags of black millet, and 10 bags of Mengshan farm millet.

20 bags of household wheat flour

The shop owner didn't have that many in stock and wanted to order more right away. She smiled and suggested, "Why don't you give me an address and I'll deliver it directly to you?"

"I'll contact the warehouse first. I'll go out and make a call. Please wait a moment." Jiang Shuyin suddenly realized that her apartment in the residential complex was not big enough and she would have to rent a place, but she didn't want to go out.

I figured out how much I could fit in my storage room, and at most, sixty bags should be no problem.

When I went back, I told the shop owner again, "I only want twenty bags of each item; my grocery store can't hold them all."

The proprietress understood; she was selling it anyway, so she quickly moved her hands across the calculator: "How about I give you a discounted price of six thousand eight?"

Jiang Shuyin glanced at the cashier and, seeing a barcode scanner, pulled up her payment code. The proprietress smiled and operated the computer for a few seconds.

Payment successful.

Then she sat on the sofa in the store, waiting for the owner to get the goods and load them into the car, while she fiddled with her phone and continued scrolling down.

— Condiments and cooking oil.

These are items used in every meal, and they have a long shelf life, so it's always good to have them on hand.

"Boss, could you please provide me with all the seasonings like oil, salt, sugar, and vinegar, in the supermarket sizes?" Jiang Shuyin gestured.

The shop owner smiled and nodded. This order would bring in a month's worth of money. She realized that this young woman ran a supermarket and had troubled a naive young girl to buy things. It was fortunate that she wasn't a heartless merchant.

Since it's supermarket-grade, each item must have at least two price tiers, with a minimum order of ten bottles.

Soy sauce, vinegar, sauce, fermented black beans, fermented bean curd, pickled mustard greens, pickled mustard greens, preserved mustard greens, dried plum vegetables, pickled mustard greens, pickled ginger, pickled chili peppers, salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, rice wine, curry powder, five-spice powder, sesame oil, sesame paste, peanut butter, tomato sauce, jam, tomato juice, chili oil, sesame paste, fermented rice wine, mushroom oil, etc.

Jiang Shuyin glanced at the loading outside, thought for a moment, and then called Zheng Lanxiang: "Hey Mom, there will be a delivery coming to the door later. Remember to receive it. The storage room at home is still empty, so just leave it there."

The loading driver was outsourced, and Jiang Shuyin gave him a 500 yuan red envelope, asking him to help transport the goods upstairs with a small cart.

"Stairs or elevator?" the worker asked, taking a moment to pause as he was busy moving goods.

Jiang Shuyin raised her voice to explain, "It's an elevator; it can also be used for moving goods."

The chef nodded, and Jiang Shuyin left after going to browse the fast food area.

As soon as she entered, she was drawn to a wall of instant noodles—a must-have for lazy homebodies—five-pack instant noodles.

She glanced at them a few times and noticed some foreign brands.

With a wave of her hand, she said, "Boss, I'll take this whole wall you set up."

The boss, a middle-aged man, paused for a moment upon hearing the voice, then pushed up his glasses: "What did you say?"

Jiang Shuyin repeated herself, and the boss came out from behind the counter, beckoned her, and calmly loaded the goods for her.

Is this the wisdom and maturity of middle age?

"Is this enough to last for six months?" the uncle suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Shuyin's eyes widened in confusion.

The uncle glanced at her silently and continued to pack the basket: "The young girl who came to my place last time asked me to get her a six-month supply. She came back to restock, and I was really worried that she would get cancer from eating it, so I gave her some noodles and noodle sauce."

Young people, you need to know that neither good nor bad things are good if you eat too much of either.

Jiang Shuyin thought it made sense: "Then could you please get me some noodles too?"

Instant noodles take up a lot of space, so the shop owner called a four-meter-long delivery truck to bring them to her door. The total cost was over ten thousand yuan. Instead of rounding down the price, the owner gave her three cartons of milk at the shop.

"Strengthen nutrition, supplement calcium, and have a healthy body is more important than anything else."

One box each of braised beef noodles, spicy beef noodles, mushroom and chicken stew noodles, pickled cabbage beef noodles, spicy beef noodles, pickled pepper beef noodles, chopped pepper pork rib noodles, tomato and bamboo shoot pork rib noodles, and braised beef noodles.

Four boxes of noodles, one box of noodle sauce, and three cartons of milk.

After buying all these things, she finished browsing all the posts. She didn't want to buy dried goods, eggs, or anything like that, mainly because it was too much trouble, and she hates trouble the most.

We headed back home.

As soon as she arrived at the pillar at the entrance of the wholesale market, her mother called: "Are you crazy? You bought so much stuff, the storage room is almost full."

"That means it's not full yet. There'll be another truckload coming later. I'll be sitting in the truck, and we'll talk when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shuyin turned to the driver and said, "I'll transfer you three hundred later, can you help me transport it?"

"Okay." Since it was an opportunity to earn some extra money, the driver readily agreed. It was just instant noodles, not heavy at all.

After showing her credentials at the entrance of the residential area, Jiang Shu led her downstairs and saw Zheng Lanxiang standing next to the truck. The grain and oil truck had only been half-loaded out.

Zheng Lanxiang glared at her daughter and moved her lips, probably cursing in her heart.

There was a lot of food, and it took her an entire afternoon to prepare it. Zheng Lanxiang didn't feel like cooking when she got home, so she just grabbed a quick bite at a Shaxian snack bar near the entrance of her residential complex.

After ordering and sitting down, Jiang's mother said coldly, "Tell me, what trouble are you causing now?"

“My friend has delusions. He gave me money to stock up on some food for him. The situation is a bit complicated. I’m just doing this for money,” Jiang Shuyin said in a low voice.

If it's only half true, then don't believe it.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lanxiang stopped talking and said, "Then why are you moving your things? It's delaying my cleaning."

Jiang Shuyin tore open the packaging of the disposable chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "I estimate they'll need to be stored for ten days to half a month. They paid me fifty yuan a day."

Zheng Lanxiang, her eyes lighting up at the sight of money, said, "Remember to transfer half to me."

Jiang Jianli works overtime and eats at the company, usually not getting home until 9 or 10 pm.

As soon as it got dark, the house was so dark that only the lights could be turned on. Suddenly, it started raining heavily outside, and the rain got heavier and heavier. Zheng Lanxiang was worried about Jiang's father, so she quickly called him.

"I'm still eating at the company, I won't be back until after 9:30, don't worry, the rain will probably have stopped by then." The voice on the other end was reassuring.

Zheng Lanxiang couldn't put her mind at ease, and even though she had the TV on, she couldn't concentrate on watching it, constantly looking out the window.

Jiang Shuyin lost interest in reading the novel and opened the chat box to find her boyfriend.

Shangguan: It's raining here, how about where you are?

Five minutes later.

Official: I'm here too. Take care of yourself and stay home as much as possible.
