Chapter 2 Stockpiling Supplies



Afterwards, Lin Yuexi used her mobile phone to continue searching online for things that could be used in the 1960s and 1970s. She took out a diary and a pen from the bookshelf and wrote down all the supplies she wanted to buy.

The first things you need to buy are definitely rice, noodles, grains, oil, soy sauce, salt, vinegar, and other condiments.

There are also fast food products, instant noodles, biscuits, ham, snail rice noodle, spicy hot pot, hot pot base, beverages...

Otherwise, once you get through there, you won’t have anything to eat!

Of course, I had to buy some clothes. Think about the living standards in the 1960s and 1970s. There were no good clothes to wear. Cloth was not only expensive, but also required cloth coupons...

Oh! I have to go see if there is a clothing factory nearby that can make clothes from that era.

Also, you need to save some Dacron, cotton, tweed, floral fabrics, as well as some gray-black fabrics that were mostly used in that era, and red festive fabrics, which you can sell when the time comes to supplement your household expenses!

You also need to buy some daily necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, towels, bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, etc.

Apart from these things, there is food to eat.

Meat, milk powder, protein, honey, malted milk, brown sugar, white sugar, rock sugar, White Rabbit candy, fruit-flavored candy, anyway, sugar was very expensive at that time. Not every household could buy it, so we could sell it for more money.

And then I bought some canned food, canned meat, canned fish, canned fruit, sausages, spicy sausages, etc., etc.

Of course, I have to buy some vegetables and fruits. Anyway, they won’t go bad if I put them in the space, so the more the better. Not only will I have enough to eat, but I can also sell some for money...

You should also go to a breakfast shop and buy some buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and rice noodles for later use.

Thinking that the crops in the space have been harvested and are now empty, I might as well buy some seeds and plant them.

For example, fruit planting, vegetable planting, rice planting, corn seeds, wheat seeds, rapeseed seeds...

Of course, there are some personal items that must be bought, such as underwear, monthly sanitary napkins and safety pants, and some diapers for children, which may be needed later.

I also need to buy some farming tools! Although they can’t be used in the space, they can still be used outside the space in that era, so I don’t have to borrow others’ tools!

I think of the time when there was no electricity in the countryside, and we had to buy some coal, matches, candles, coal, and the three-wheeled and one-whisper of that era, sewing machines, bicycles, watches, radios, and pots and pans, frying pans, casseroles, shovels, cupboards, etc. that were needed in the kitchen...

Lin Yuexi wrote a lot in a hurry, and she didn’t know if she had missed anything. Never mind, just buy it first!

Of course, if you can buy it online, try to buy it on your phone! If you can't buy it, take your notebook out and buy it!

Just like that, Lin Yuexi bought a lot of things on her mobile phone, and then took the notebook and drove out to buy more.

Lin Yuexi took the notebook and drove to the largest wholesale market in Beijing.

She parked the car and went to several grain and oil stores, and finally chose the largest one with the most complete range of grain and oil stores.

As soon as the clerk saw Lin Yuexi coming in, he asked, "Excuse me, what do you need to buy?"

Lin Yuexi: "I want to buy rice, noodles, oil, and grain. Can you tell me how much you charge? Is the quality good? I want a lot."

The clerk saw that this was a big deal and readily gave the lowest price.

Lin Yuexi asked, "Can you give me a better discount? I want a really large quantity..."

The clerk heard this and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll go to the inner room to call our boss..."

"Okay..." Lin Yuexi said.

After a while, the clerk called their boss out.

The boss was a middle-aged woman about forty years old. When she saw Lin Yuexi, she knew she had met a big customer!

Lin Yuexi said to her: "I want 30 tons of rice, 20 tons of flour, 60 tons of grain and oil, and 30 tons of various coarse grains..."

When the proprietress heard this, she thought this was really a big business and quickly set the price to the lowest.

When Lin Yuexi heard this, she said, "Sure! I'll buy it from you."

The lady boss said, "You have too many items. I need to sort them out and send them to you the day after tomorrow evening. Is that okay?"

Lin Yuexi responded, "Okay..."

Then Lin Yuexi paid half of the deposit by swiping a credit card and gave the boss's wife the address of a warehouse, asking her to deliver the goods to the designated location when the time comes.

The proprietress kept saying, "Okay, okay..."

Then, his face was crooked with smile.

After Lin Yuexi came out of the grain and oil store, she went to a nearby candy store.

He bought 150,000 kilograms of brown sugar, white sugar, and rock sugar. He also ordered 30,000 kilograms of fruit candies, 50,000 kilograms of White Rabbit milk candies, and many kinds of hard candies and some chocolates.

Lin Yuexi paid half of the deposit, gave the boss an address and said, "Just wait and deliver it to this address after 4 o'clock."

The boss received the money and the address and replied, "OK, I will definitely send it to you on time."

After leaving the candy shop, Lin Yuexi went to the seasoning shop. She walked around inside and looked at the seasonings. Then she said to the boss, "I want 100,000 tons of salt, in bags, and 2,000 boxes of soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce. I also want 2,000 kilograms of chili peppers, chili powder, frozen meat buns, hot pot base, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, chicken essence, and MSG."

The boss was very happy to see her asking for so much in one day, and quickly asked the clerk to calculate the price.

Lin Yuexi paid the bill promptly, gave the address, and said, "Just deliver it to this place after 4 o'clock."

The boss said happily, "Okay, I will definitely send someone to deliver it on time..."

After buying these, Lin Yuexi looked at her watch. It was already noon. She felt hungry, so she quickly found a store to eat a bowl of beef noodles and then went back.

Then, she drove to her own warehouse and checked. There was indeed nothing stored in the warehouse. She would put the food and candy she bought here, and then put them into the space.

Thinking that there were still many things to buy, Lin Yuexi opened her mobile phone again and bought some agricultural supplies online.

For example: tractors, water pipes, water pumps, agricultural vehicles, harvesters, tillers...

Just finished buying, and it’s time to pick up the goods.

All the goods that she bought in the morning were delivered here on time. After Lin Yuexi counted them one by one, she waved her hand and stored them all into the space.

After receiving the goods, Lin Yuexi looked at her watch again. It was getting late again. It was almost midnight. She drove back, cooked a bowl of egg noodles, and fell asleep.
