Zuo Ling felt she was already trying very hard to spend money, but her long-standing spending habits were deeply ingrained in her, and she couldn't shake off her poverty mentality, making it difficult for her to truly spend lavishly.
They stocked up goods from north to south, spending a total of 360 million.
Not counting gold, she still has more than 1.2 billion yuan left to spend.
After doing the math, I found that I stocked up on vegetables the least, and spent a little over 400,000 yuan in total.
This won't do; a van can't be driven into an agricultural wholesale market.
Two truckloads each of Chinese cabbage, green and red radishes, carrots, leafy greens, pumpkin, garlic, lettuce, leeks, lotus root, cucumber, tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, celery, green beans, pea sprouts, and ginger.
Other items included shiitake mushrooms, bitter melon, loofah, winter melon, arrowhead, edamame, broad beans, pickled mustard greens, shepherd's purse, cilantro, garland chrysanthemum, broad beans, black cabbage, and small red chilies, totaling 5 truckloads.
Zuo Ling worked hard to prepare the food for two days, and when she did the math, the total cost was less than 500,000 yuan.
After stockpiling a large amount of seafood, Lingzhou originally did not plan to stockpile fish, shrimp, and crabs anymore.
I have too much money; I'm afraid I won't be able to spend it all.
Yellow croaker, ribbonfish, pomfret, river crab, eel, shad, knife fish, whitefish, silverfish, white shrimp, etc., and another 20 million yuan worth has been stockpiled.
With more money, RVs naturally became part of the purchase list.
After some searching, I bought the following items that were in stock: SLRV Commander, Earth Wanderer, Global Leopard, and Global Explorer.
Two of each, totaling 48 million.
The countdown to the end of the world has begun. On the 52nd day, Zuo Ling enters the territory of Wanzhou.
She was heading to Huangshan.
The magnificent sunrise, the gorgeous sunset, the spectacular sea of clouds, and the strange Buddha's light are described in the book, but she never had the chance to see them.
If I don't come in this life, I'll never see you again.
I once had a colleague who loved to travel. He said that of all the tourist attractions he had visited, Huangshan was the only place he wanted to go back to again.
Zuo Ling secretly memorized this sentence and wanted to see what the beautiful scenery that her colleague had been longing for looked like, and to walk through the tranquil Hongcun and the ancient Huizhou city again.
She saw it, and tears welled up in her eyes for no reason.
Wanzhou has abundant water resources. After filling all the large vats and wine jars they bought from the earthen kiln factory with water, they did not stay in Wanzhou but went straight to Luzhou.
The countdown to the end of the world has reached its 50th day.
Zuo Ling stayed in Luzhou for 5 days, and stockpiled 10 truckloads of each of the following: scallions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, leeks, apples, garlic, and ginger.
Twenty cartloads each of unthreshed wheat and millet.
Wheat and millet are used to feed chickens, ducks, and geese.
As we approached the border of Luzhou, we saw a place selling firewood stoves.
Two large iron pots with a water tank and temperature display. The residual heat from cooking can be used to boil water. The countertop can be extended to form a cutting board, and there is a condiment cabinet underneath.
The pull-out ash cabinet makes it easy to clean ash and slag. Four wheels make it easy to move.
Despite its many functions, it is ingeniously designed.
There were two simple wood-burning stoves in Zuo Ling's space, but this one was better, so he bought two more on the spot.
The countdown to the end of the world has ended, day 45. We're back in Kyoto.
December in Kyoto is already quite chilly, so Zuo Ling put on a down jacket.
The waterfall didn't feel cold at all; in fact, it seemed more vibrant than in the south, which might be related to its upbringing in the northwest.
Considering the extreme cold weather to come, I didn't rush to change the waterfall's appearance; it's better to let it adapt in advance.
Nine days later is New Year's Day.
We arrived at the Noah's Ark sales office as soon as possible.
Noah's Ark Community is the post-apocalyptic home that Zuo Ling chose for herself.
The residential complex is not located in a bustling area, but rather in the high-lying northwest district of Kyoto. It was developed by four well-known wealthy young men in Kyoto.
Noah's Ark is a small residential complex with only five buildings, each with three units, one apartment per floor, and a total of 450 apartments.
No one expected that these four rich kids, who were seen as good-for-nothings by everyone, would become the pillars of Noah's Ark in the apocalypse.
These were all things Ding Jiaojiao told her when she had nothing else to do.
The neighborhood is relatively remote, and the price per unit is much higher than other properties in the same development. Sales are poor, with tenants and homeowners split roughly equally.
This unusual combination of property management and sales office is rare even in Kyoto.
The saleswoman greeted Zuo Ling while yawning.
"I want to buy a Doomsday Fortress type unit, are there any units available?"
The saleswoman, who had only yawned halfway through, seemed to freeze for a second before finishing the second half of her yawn.
Covering her mouth after yawning, she said with tears in her eyes, "Yes, yes, yes, the Doomsday Fortress type isn't cheap. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
The houses in the Noah's Ark residential community are constructed using a reinforced concrete structure, which has good earthquake resistance.
The Doomsday Fortress design adds two layers of bulletproof steel plates and three layers of bulletproof glass to the interior, and the security door is of a level comparable to that of a bank vault.
The door to the stairwell is several levels higher in security than those in other apartment layouts.
Besides safety, the living conditions are also different from those of ordinary rooms.
The system includes an air filter, a rain and snow filtration system, a 1-ton water tank, a fuel generator, a large 1000 kWh power storage box, and at least 30 square meters of 1000W solar panels on the exterior walls.
The fireplace inside the apartment can be used independently or connected to a geothermal system.
In addition to the natural gas stove, the kitchen countertop conceals a wood-fired stove, which can be used independently or connected to the geothermal system.
Installing foreign object prevention devices in sewers, floor drains, and air conditioning vents can effectively prevent cockroaches, rats, and insects from entering.
All these factors combined mean the price is naturally quite high.
Zuo Ling calmly replied, "Confirmed."
The saleswoman perked up, swiping through the brochure and muttering to herself:
"The 280 square meter units are all gone, as are the 320 square meter units. We only have 360 and 480 square meter units available now."
"360's are all multi-layered."
