Chapter 16 is too expensive.



I bought sanitary napkins and safety shorts, specifically for 55-year-olds.

When it's inconvenient to change clothes, disposable underwear is a must; buy a large pack of 50.

The tissue boxes are used up quickly; a pack of 6 contains 2,000 tissues.

Garbage bags, fast-moving consumables, in various sizes and types, 50,000 of each.

In the apocalypse, you can't cook anytime you want, so you need to prepare some cooked food in advance. Meal boxes are essential; I need 50,000 of them.

The store has three types of portable toilets, one with a backrest and the other two without, priced in the hundreds.

Zuo Ling vividly remembers the embarrassment of going to the toilet in her previous life, and she never wants to experience it again in this life.

I don't know which one is good and useful; I have five of each.

We must stock up on cockroach bait, insecticide, mosquito repellent, disinfectant, alcohol, and rat traps, 5000 of each.

100 bottles of floral water, enough to last until I die.

10 electric blankets, 10 hot water bottles, 10 hand warmers, and heat packs.

Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, laundry detergent, laundry powder, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, towels, bath towels, etc., are used in small quantities. Buying enough 50-year-old bottles will be sufficient.

Zuo Ling didn't buy any skincare products or face masks. She's not too particular about them and wouldn't dare buy skincare products at the wholesale market.

It's safer to buy face creams at the supermarket.

Stock up on plenty of food storage bags and plastic wrap in various sizes; even in the apocalypse, food safety and hygiene are still important.

Steel wool, dishcloths, various brushes, brooms, plastic gloves, combs, mirrors, bath sponges, bath towels, needles and thread, and batteries of all types.

Stainless steel pots, frying pans, milk pots, knives, vegetable baskets, dish sets, trash cans, and chopsticks. I estimated the amount I would need and prepared a little more or less.

The owner of the daily necessities store didn't take Zuo Ling seriously at first, but as Zuo Ling bought more and more, he gradually began to pay attention to her.

The order volume doesn't seem like Zuo Ling is going to open a shop.

While it's true that she doesn't own a shop, it's also true that she does.

I really can't figure out what's going on.

After finally placing the order, the shop owner filled three whole pages with notes.

After some haggling, it cost 186,000 yuan.

After giving the warehouse address to the store owner and arranging a delivery time, Zuo Ling went to the fresh produce section.

Zuo Ling is from the North, and she was raised in an ordinary family.

I've eaten several kinds of fish, at least some.

Shrimp and crabs are not frequently consumed items for Zuo Ling.

Occasionally, I'll have a meal of spicy crayfish, boiled shrimp, or spicy crab, just to pretend I'm eating seafood.

In reality, the raw materials are swimming happily in the river.

But this did not dampen Zuo Ling's enthusiasm for hoarding seafood.

Even with many types of seafood, she doesn't know which parts are edible and which are not.

After the collision of tectonic plates in the previous life, there was a severe nuclear leak, and most seafood products mutated, resulting in a long period of time when people had no seafood to eat.

If you don't stock up now, you'll never be able to get your hands on it again.

With a large sum of money in his pocket, he strolled around the seafood section, but became increasingly discouraged.

I don't recognize most of the seafood, let alone know its name.

Reluctantly, I could only buy the ones I had eaten before and remembered.

Zuo Ling is not greedy; he eats fish four times a month, one fish each time, for a total of 3,360 fish.

The fish we eat are bass, carp, crucian carp, black carp, grass carp, and silver carp, 300 of each.

Six types, 1800 tails removed, half done, the rest will be easy.

For fish that are not commonly eaten, we need 100 each of pomfret, saury, turbot, large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, tuna, and cod.

Go get another 700 tails.

Fried ribbonfish is one of Zuo Ling's favorite foods, and she needs 800 jin (400 catties) of it.

The thought of frying the ribbonfish as a snack when she had some free time made Zuo Ling's mouth water.

100 catties each of cuttlefish and squid.

100 catties each of white shrimp, mantis shrimp, prawns, crayfish, green shrimp, and sea shrimp.

Zuo Ling doesn't find shellfish to be good.

We ordered a total of 300 jin (150 catties) of scallops, whelks, cockles, razor clams, clams, mantis shrimp, and oysters, just to enrich our dining table.

Two hundred catties each of river crabs, flower crabs, swimming crabs, and mud crabs—it sounds like a lot, but they're all shells, and they're ridiculously expensive. Zuo Ling trembled as she placed the order.

I was fortunate enough to eat salmon and abalone a few times thanks to the former boss, but I couldn't appreciate the taste. So, to show off my wealth, I ordered 30 jin of each! That was the result after gritting my teeth.

Shrimp meat, dried shrimp, and seasonings are essential; you need 30 catties of each.

When it was almost time to order, the stall owner suddenly asked:

"Young lady, you ordered a lot of goods from Lao He the other day, didn't you?"

"Ah...yes."

After thinking for a long time, Zuo Ling finally remembered that Lao He was a rough man who sold meat.

The stall owner smiled:

"I heard from Lao He that a young lady wanted a lot of goods. I didn't recognize her earlier, but when I saw you placing the order, I realized it was her, so I asked her a few more questions."

Zuo Ling seized the opportunity: "Then could you give me a bigger discount? That way I can explain things to my boss."

The stall owner spoke frankly: "No problem, we're all acquaintances, no questions asked."

Whether it's cheap or not, who knows?

After finalizing the prices for each item, Zuo Ling prepaid 300,000 yuan, with the remaining balance to be calculated upon arrival and weighing of the goods.
