"Boss, Madam! Here's today's delivery list. Please take your time checking it. I'll be leaving now!"
Lilith handed the list to Nanxing, then turned and left cleanly and decisively.
Looking at her fiery red back, Banxia couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No wonder Lilith is a top-notch middleman. Her style of never asking a question or taking a second look really makes people feel trust and goodwill towards her!
However, no matter how much you like someone, you must still take necessary precautions!
She and Nanxing each carried a camera detector and carefully checked the warehouse three times before they started counting the goods with the list.
The first list includes cigarettes, alcohol, salt, and sugar.
Cigarettes, alcohol, and sugar are luxuries in the post-apocalyptic world, while salt is a necessity. Even though these four items are not cheap, people still flock to buy them.
Ten types of cigarettes, including Marlboro, cigars, Lucky Strike, Kent, 555 cigarettes, Alishan, Paramount, Hilton, Camel cigarettes, and Sobranie, with 500 cartons of each;
2,000 bottles each of white wine, red wine, whiskey, and brandy; 1,000 cases of beer;
10 tons of salt in 100-jin bags, including sea salt, well salt, iodized salt, and non-iodized salt, and so on;
20 tons each of white sugar and brown sugar, 1,000 boxes of honey, and 100 boxes of maple syrup as a gift.
After verifying the information, Banxia instructed the Devouring Tree to help store the items into the Black Fish Space.
When she received the maple syrup, she suddenly remembered something interesting: "Nanxing, did you know that sugar maple trees are one of the tree species that the quarantine pest, the Mediterranean white moth, likes to eat? Therefore, our country does not allow the import or planting of sugar maple trees."
Nanxing was taken aback: "Were there any fruit tree saplings that we bought before that were not allowed to be imported?"
Banxia was also stunned: "There shouldn't be, we only bought ordinary fruit trees..."
She carefully recalled the fruit tree saplings in the blackfish space: apple trees, citrus trees, peach trees, plum trees, cherry trees, pomegranate trees, walnut trees, bayberry trees, lychee trees, longan trees, loquat trees, mulberry trees, pear trees, apricot trees, jujube trees...
There were also some trees she couldn't remember at all. When they bought fruit tree seedlings from the nursery, they each bought ten, regardless of whether they recognized them or not. There are at least dozens or hundreds of common fruits. How could she possibly remember so many?
She and Nanxing exchanged a glance, and finally said in a desperate move, "Let's not take out our space for trees we don't recognize. Besides, no one will care about us then."
Upon hearing this, Nanxing couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He truly hoped that the apocalypse was just a dream of Banxia's!
After packing up their belongings, the two closed the warehouse door and took a taxi to the airport.
Their next stockpiling location is the oil-rich country of W. They agreed to pick up the medicines they were still procuring and the off-road vehicles they were still modifying in half a month.
Gasoline in Country W is cheaper than water in China. 92#, 95#, and 98# gasoline, 10#, 5#, 0#, -5#, -10#, -21#, and -35# diesel, aviation kerosene, power kerosene, fuel kerosene, bottled natural gas... The two spent their entire budget of 50 million before setting off to return home.
Instead of going home, they went directly to City S. All the supplies that Han Biao had purchased were neatly stacked in the warehouse.
Nanxing transferred another 500,000 yuan bonus to Han Biao. The more money Han Biao had, the more supplies he could buy in the future.
Banxia turned off all the surveillance cameras in the warehouse and carefully checked them three times to make sure there were no hidden cameras before she began to collect the goods from the shelves without leaving a trace.
They didn't collect the children's clothing, but they collected one-fifth of everything else—that's right, not the one-third they initially planned to collect.
The space was stocked with a large amount of supplies, which gave her a great sense of security. In her previous life, she and Nanxing lived in the S City base for five years and received some protection from the locals, so she considered it as repaying a debt of gratitude.
Due to time constraints, the two only visited five welfare homes with the convoy before boarding a plane to T country to stockpile goods.
Banxia couldn't help but recall her life with Nanxing at the orphanage.
They were lucky; the orphanage was located in a big city, so they didn't go hungry or cold. They even received toys and books from kind people from time to time. It could be said that apart from parental love and being bullied by older children, they lacked nothing else.
Nanxing was only two years older than her, but perhaps because he had found her himself, he felt a sense of responsibility towards her. When she was two years old, he would fumble around with her little arms and legs to make her formula, change her diapers, and lull her to sleep. When she got a little older, he taught her to speak, walk, and how to conduct herself in society.
The first character she learned was "half" from "half-summer," and the second was "star" from "southern star."
Nanxing didn't buy anything for herself with the first money she earned from filming. Instead, she spent it all on her baby formula, dolls, dresses, and shoes.
Even when she was fifteen and had her first period, thinking she was sick and going to die, it was Nanxing who blushed and explained physiological knowledge to her, teaching her how to use sanitary napkins.
It's no exaggeration to say that Nanxing's presence was felt throughout her life, which was less than twenty years old. Without Nanxing, she wouldn't be who she is today.
She suddenly remembered a question she had never asked before: "Nanxing, when did you fall in love with me? Was it when I was fifteen or sixteen and started growing up?"
She was in poor health from a young age, and when she was twelve or thirteen, while other girls her age were starting to grow up and develop curves, she still looked like a primary school student.
It wasn't until she started menstruating at fifteen that she seemed to have taken hormones, growing more than 20 centimeters taller in just two years and taking on the appearance of a teenage girl.
Nanxing paused for a moment, her ears turning slightly red: "Earlier than this."
Banxia's eyes widened. She remembered clearly that when she was fifteen years old, her height was 1.42 meters during her high school entrance exam physical examination. Her homeroom teacher was afraid that she had dwarfism, so she personally took her to the hospital to register and have an examination. How could it be earlier than that?
