Chapter 4 Stocking up on supplies 1
Shen Qianxun looked at the types of rice in front of him, pearl rice, fragrant rice, and indica rice. The average person eats about 10 tons of rice in their lifetime, and Chen Dabao is a big eater, and he eats no less than four bowls of rice in one meal.
After looking around, he said, "20 tons of pearl rice, 10 tons each of fragrant rice and indica rice."
"4,000 kilograms of glutinous rice, 2,000 kilograms of grains, and 5 tons of flour."
"Boss, please give me a better discount. I will buy from you for a long time."
The boss put out his cigarette, took out a calculator, and handed the calculated number to Shen Qianxun, “You have to pay a deposit of 300,000 first.”
Shen Qianxun and the other person were very satisfied with the price given by the boss and scanned the code to pay neatly.
"Boss, it's okay to pay the rest in cash."
The boss grinned from ear to ear, "Of course, no problem. We have the goods and can deliver them today."
"Just deliver it to this address before 6pm."
The boss took out his phone and took a picture of the address. "No problem."
As a native of Southwest China, Shen Qianxun particularly likes food made from glutinous rice, such as glutinous rice cake, yellow rice cake, fermented glutinous rice, etc. Dabao, who is easy to raise, is not picky about food and eats everything.
The current food expenditure is nearly 1 million, but fortunately I still have more than 10 million in my pocket, so I am not worried at all.
After exchanging contact information with the boss, Shen Qianxun took Chen Dabao to a edible oil wholesale store across the street that owned several stores, and asked if they could open a supermarket to purchase the goods, and place a long-term order if they were satisfied with the price.
The shop owner had long noticed the fawning look of Old Wang from the grain store across the street as he bowed and nodded as he escorted the two men out, and he readily gave them the lowest price only available to regular customers.
300 barrels each of peanut oil, corn blend oil, and rapeseed oil are also delivered to the rented warehouse and can be received at noon.
Sesame oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, bean paste, salt, vinegar and other seasonings, peppercorns, special spices for braised food, etc. filled 40 large boxes. The staff acted quickly and quickly sorted the supplies and put them into the truck box.
"Girls, you must order from me next time. I'll give you a great price."
Shen Qianxun and the other man had big smiles on their faces, “Of course, big brother, you are also a straightforward person.”
"By the way, brother, do you know where I can conveniently purchase a large amount of sugar?"
Sugar is a strategic material and is under state control, but these big bosses have some connections.
The boss looked at the deposit that arrived, his face beaming, and immediately gave Shen Qianxun an address.
"Go find Lao Li here and say that Boss Lai introduced you."
"Thank you, brother. You are so generous and straightforward. I wish you great fortune."
The boss was in a good mood after being praised by the beautiful woman. He made a phone call directly, "Lao Li, two girls will come to your store to buy things later. They are long-term customers, remember to give them a discount."
The two of them thanked each other for a long time, and happily drove the truck straight to the sugar shop. The owner of the shop was a tall middle-aged man. He took the list handed over by Shen Qianxun. In addition to a large amount of white sugar, there was also a lot of brown sugar.
After counting the money without blinking an eye, Shen Qianxun paid the full amount directly, and soon, more than a dozen large boxes were moved into the carriage.
Then continue to stock up, 600 kilograms of white wine, which can be used as a seasoning and disinfectant, beer, a good companion for crayfish, roast duck and other stews, 12 cans per box, a total of 100 boxes, 200 kilograms of dry goods such as mushrooms, black fungus and vermicelli, and sausages, bacon, and cured spare ribs are also necessary.
Then I found a large cat food factory that sold cat litter, which was enough to last me 20 to 30 years. I also bought two boxes of cat toys, a few cat climbing frames, and some scratching boards.
They arrived at the slaughterhouse later in the afternoon and smelled a strong smell of blood as they stood at the door. Neither of them frowned. Compared with the smell after a natural disaster, this smell was only slightly refreshing.
The two men contacted the owner of a large store under the pretext of opening a cannery. The owner, wearing a one-piece waterproof jumpsuit, sat at the door, puffing away cigarettes and squinting at the two men.
"Who introduced you? I've never seen you before?"
Shen Qianxun smiled and walked forward, handing over a pack of 80 yuan cigarettes, "Boss Lai from the oil shop recommended it to us. In addition to running a supermarket, our family is also going to open a canning factory. My dad asked us to come out and purchase from a few more places for comparison. Boss Lai said that the meat quality and price here are the best, so we came directly to you."
On the way here, Shen Qianxun contacted Mr. Lai, the boss of the oil shop, and after a few words, the other party directly gave her the information of his friend in the slaughterhouse.
"Xiao Xun and Xiao Chen, right?"
The two nodded quickly.
The slaughterhouse owner casually put the cigarette into his pocket, confirmed that the other party was introduced by an old friend, nodded, and took the list handed over by Shen Qianxun.
"15 cows, 60 sheep, and 50 pigs."
"Add another 2,000 kilograms of pig offal."
Pig intestines, pig stomach, and pig heart are most suitable for making spicy stews.
"That's all?"
Shen Qianxun thought for a moment, “Boss, do you have the contact information of the livestock and fresh food store?”
The slaughterhouse owner took a deep puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "My wife runs a seafood store not far away, and my brother-in-law's livestock wholesale store is also over there."
"How much do you want?" I'll give you one piece."
Shen Qianxun and the other two were overjoyed, and they could save a lot of time.
"2,000 chickens and rabbits, 1,000 ducks and geese."
In addition, 6 tons of freshwater fish such as silver carp, crucian carp, black carp, and mullet, and 300,000 tons of seafood such as sea bass, squid, small yellow croaker, shrimp, clams, clams, and razor clams were ordered.
Looking at the list in his hand, the butcher shop owner gave Shen Qianxun a strange look, “Are you sure you want to use them all for canning?”
Chen Dabao smiled slightly, "We still have a few restaurants to use."
Shen Qianxun added, “These are the purchases for the first phase. We will purchase another wave in a week. Please give me a preferential price, boss.”
"I need all the edible offal, like pig blood and cow blood. Could you please put them in a container? I'll charge you the same."
Shen Qianxun handed over the address after she finished speaking. This was a frozen storage they rented on the way here, not far from the slaughterhouse.
"Yours will be scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Is the time okay?"
"No problem, thank you, boss."
The total cost was 1.48 million, with a deposit of 700,000 and the rest to be paid on the day of receipt.
Early the next morning, the two went straight to the crayfish farm. The crayfish in July were the most plump and delicious, and the largest crayfish were 9.6 yuan per catty. Shen Qianxun directly ordered 50,000 catties, spending 480,000 yuan.
Chen Dabao grinned at the side, she loved crayfish the most, Shen Qianxun didn't feel bad at all, after all, the purchasing funds of more than 10 million came from her Dabao.
We also purchased a lot of crayfish, beer and quail eggs.
In the afternoon, I went directly to the water plant to order a large amount of mineral water, bottled, in 18-liter barrels, totaling 1.2 million. It is enough for a lifetime of drinking water, and there is still a lot left.
Looking back to the last life, how many people killed each other for a bottle of water, especially during the period of extreme heat and desertification, when it would not rain for several months. Survivors could only rely on digging wells to get water. However, the water after the major earthquake was turbid, accompanied by parasites and ancient viruses. After boiling, many insect eggs could be seen at the bottom, making human survival difficult.
The well water in the space needs to be boiled before drinking. Now Shen Qianxun collects water and stores it in the space every day for use as domestic water.
The next day, after several rounds of transactions, I spent 200,000 yuan to buy 6 anti-slash and anti-stab suits and 4 bulletproof vests, and my sense of security was once again maximized.
In the following days, a lot of daily necessities were replenished, including clothing, shoes and boots including thermal insulation clothing, life jackets, a full set of diving equipment, moisture-proof mats, a large amount of insect repellent, disinfectant, hot packs, cooling patches, etc.
In addition, there are nearly 20 fruit trees including durian, jackfruit, cherry, mangosteen, lychee, longan, etc. that I didn’t want to buy before. Now there are more than 30 fruit trees in total, and most of them can bear fruit in the same year.
Thinking about the global desertification after acid rain and the ocean drift that is likely to occur in the later period, Shen Qianxun also bought some medicinal seeds, grass seeds and tree seeds.
She doesn't know when the natural disaster will end, 20 years, or 100 years, but as long as there are seeds, there is hope for the future.
