First, I went to various pharmacies and bought the following commonly used medicines: fever reducers and analgesics, cold medicine, constipation medicine, antidiarrheal medicine, digestive aids, anti-allergy medicine, cough medicine, gastroenteritis medicine, pharyngitis medicine, and common antibiotics. I spent 50,000 yuan to buy them and then went directly to my neighborhood to make room for income.
Don't underestimate these medicines just because they're not many; they cost a lot. But these medicines are essential, and we can't skimp on them, otherwise we won't have enough.
Because I had a lot of time to use the medicine I bought, and I realized I didn't have much time left, I quickly found a noodle shop and ate a bowl of noodles.
While eating, I suddenly realized what I would do if I didn't have time to cook. It seems I'll have to order some ready-made food tomorrow.
After finishing the meal, I went straight to the grain store, loaded the remaining grain onto the truck, paid the final payment to the owner, and left.
On the way back, I saw some second-hand bamboo being sold by the roadside; they were all replaced from vegetable greenhouses.
There was an intersection just ahead, so I turned around and took the grain into my storage space.
I found the shopkeeper and bought twenty bamboo stalks, each two meters long and as thick as a wrist. These bamboo stalks can also be used to repair the chicken coop.
At the same time, I also thought that I might need it. Putting aside everything else, at least I could build a trellis in the space and plant a grape vine or something, which would make it easier to eat grapes later.
When I got home, I didn't rush into the space. Instead, I cooked myself a dish and steamed some rice.
After all, we've had a long day, so we need to eat something, otherwise we won't have the energy to work.
While eating, I was thinking about how to make the best use of the space.
The storage room connected to the kitchen is simply not enough, and I don't usually use the furniture in the living room. But I can put all the furniture in the storage room, and store rice, flour, cooking oil and other groceries there.
Aside from the bed, the other furniture in the bedroom, such as the silks and satins in the cabinets and wooden chests, is not needed. They can be stored in the storeroom, and the empty space can be used to store clothes that you can wear later.
Each room is about three and a half meters high, which means each room must be at least 70 cubic meters, which is not small! It can be used well and can hold quite a lot of things overall. It seems I need to buy some shelves.
Otherwise, there won't be a way to organize things properly, and if they're all scattered around, it will be hard to find anything.
Find the list, hang up everything you bought today, then add any other things you need to buy. After dinner, go directly to your online space.
First, use your mind to control the furniture in the main room, such as tables and benches, and put them directly into the storeroom. Also, put the unused furniture from the bedroom into the storeroom.
When I got to the kitchen, wow, it was piled up all over the floor, there wasn't even room to put my feet down. I quickly moved the rice and flour into the main room first.
No matter what, I need to buy a shelf first tomorrow, even if I don't buy anything else. Otherwise, I really won't have anywhere to put all these things.
I checked the time and it was still early, only around eight o'clock. Since it was still early...
Let's do something else first, we can't just sit idle!
He went out and brought the bamboo into his spatial dimension, found an iron shovel, and went to the south wall of the courtyard.
Seeing the gate in the southeast corner, I stubbornly tried to open it, but I couldn't open it no matter what I did. It seems that this small area is really the only place I can move around in, and I shouldn't even think about anything else.
Fine, I took a measuring tape and measured it out in the yard myself.
Excluding the toilet in the southwest corner and the entrance, there is about 18 meters left. So, measure three meters wide along the base of the wall. This way, no matter when, we can raise more chickens, ducks, and geese.
At the same time, this place is a bit big, so we can build a pigsty there first. If one day I think about raising two pigs, then I'll have more pork than I can eat. Hehe, just thinking about it is wonderful.
Simply place a bamboo pole every three meters, then hang a large net to enclose the chicken coop. This chicken coop is incredibly simple.
From the east wing to the main gate, there is a distance of nearly 25 meters. Four meters are left for the main gate, and there is a width of more than half a meter at the base of the east wing wall. The remaining 20 meters long and four meters wide can be used to grow vegetables or something.
There is a piece of land to the west that is less than 17 meters wide and less than 21 meters long. A road will be built through it, and the land will be 20 meters long and 16 meters wide. This is less than half an acre of land. This land can be used to grow crops.
That leaves only the open space in front of the main house, which is less than three-tenths of an acre.
We can build a frame in the west warehouse to plant a grapevine here, and we also have some leftover bamboo to use.
The open space in front of the study can be used to store other things, and there is a well near the crops, which will be useful when needed.
The well is less than a meter away from the farmland. A drainage ditch can be built, and the water can be poured directly into it when needed. This is not difficult and does not require much technical skill.
When the time comes, a few hundred bricks, a bag of cement, and two bags of sand will be enough.
After tidying up, I left the space. It was already past ten o'clock.
I couldn't fall asleep no matter what I did, so I opened my phone, found the Taobao page, and quickly placed an order for some common farm tools. That way, I can use them anytime.
One of each of the following: sickles, rakes, stone mills, hoes, carrying poles, carts, shovels, threshing machines, brooms, chaff cutters, etc.
Five sets of each of the following: baskets, bamboo sieves, winnowing baskets, drying racks, carrying baskets, axes, and other similar items. These things wear out easily, so buying more won't hurt.
Then I ordered some snacks online. Although I don't need these things at my age, I thought I might want to eat them sometime.
Products like jelly, potato chips, popcorn, fruit candy, lollipops, dried fruit, candied fruit, preserved plums, preserved apricots, crispy noodles, biscuits, bubble gum, chewing gum, puffed snacks, sunflower seeds, peanuts of various flavors, walnuts, milk candy, sesame paste, cheese for strengthening teeth, raisins, mints, figs, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, beef jerky, grilled fish slices, spicy eel strips, spicy squid strips, spicy squid chunks, charcoal-grilled squid strips, spicy small silver fish, spicy red snapper, charcoal-grilled baby squid, pickled pepper squid tentacles, etc. Grilled squid tentacles, honey-glazed pork jerky, spicy pork jerky, spicy beef, quail eggs, dried vegetables, dried mango, dried durian, dried bayberry, jackfruit, corn kernels, red date slices, banana chips, dried kumquats, dried purple sweet potatoes, dried kiwifruit, dried figs, freeze-dried strawberries, candied strawberries, candied lemons, dried okra, pineapple rings, dried taro, half-dried plums, freeze-dried fruits, and some nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, cashews, almonds, chestnuts, etc., 10 jin of each.
It looks like a lot, but if I actually eat it, I probably won't be able to finish it for long. Besides, who knows, if I travel to another place someday, I might be able to open a small shop by then, right?
When finally confirming the order, I changed the address. I can't just send it to the village directly, otherwise people will find out I'm a glutton, and then I won't be able to explain it.
Let's just pick it up at the courier point in town! It's a bit far, but it's convenient no matter what! And we won't need to explain it to anyone else.
At the same time, tell the seller that you need it urgently and ask them to send it via express mail.
When it came time to pay, I was shocked to find that it had cost 30,000 yuan.
Tomorrow I need to pick up the pork, and buy some oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and other things. Oh right, I haven't bought toiletries yet. How could I forget that? I need to get up quickly, find the list, and write it down so I don't forget it later.
The next morning, without even cooking breakfast, he drove his old car out and went to the most famous steamed bun shop in the county town for breakfast.
I thought it was delicious, so I also ordered 200 large meat buns, 20 of each of the following fillings: cabbage and pork, preserved vegetable and braised pork, radish and pork, custard buns, chive and egg filling, vermicelli filling, soup dumplings, red bean paste filling, shepherd's purse filling, and tofu and mushroom filling.
At the same time, he ordered 40 cups of various kinds of porridge from his shop. After paying the bill, the owner helped him load them all into his car.
Then I bought 50 jin of fried dough sticks. Although I know how to make them myself, what if I don't have time? It's better to buy them ready-made and store them in my space.
I ordered 20 scallion pancakes cut up by the vendor, 100 baskets of various-filling steamed buns, 100 roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), 100 servings of hand-pulled pancakes, and 100 servings of the famous rolled pancakes. The total bill came to nearly 10,000 yuan. Just like yesterday, I arrived in the suburbs and found no one to help me earn money.
Seeing that it was getting late, I went to the market to pay the balance for the pork, chicken, duck and goose I had ordered yesterday, loaded them into the car and left.
I went back to the spice shop and bought 200 jin of fine salt and 100 jin of coarse salt. This was a must-buy; I could skip or buy less of other seasonings, but I could never be without this.
Also, the salt used at this time was iodized, not the large salt granules of the past.
In the past, many people developed goiter because of iodine deficiency in salt, so salt is essential.
As for other seasonings, although we have some at home, we still need to buy some ourselves, otherwise we won't be able to use them if we run out one day.
Although the peanut oil I bought wasn't as fragrant as the oil I made myself, I couldn't make do with such insignificant things at this point.
So at the store, I bought 10 buckets of peanut oil, each weighing 20 jin (10 catties). And that's not all; I also bought 5 buckets of sesame oil, each weighing 10 jin (5 kg). Sesame oil is the best ingredient for seasoning cold dishes; it's indispensable!
We ordered light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, white vinegar, aged vinegar, fish sauce, and cooking wine, 10 jin per bucket.
