The apocalypse

Chapter 2 Stockpiling supplies

Time was tight, Annan made a list of hoarding goods with a memo on his mobile phone, and hurried out the door. In the community, the elderly walking around the corner are gathering in twos and threes to chat. The little couple held hands and walked under the boulevard, their faces full of happiness. Annan couldn't help but sigh that he hadn't seen such a harmonious and beautiful scene for a long time. It's a pity that in a few days, such a beautiful picture will no longer exist. Annan quickened his pace, came to the car rental shop near the community, rented a light truck, and went straight to the largest wholesale farmers' market in Linbei City. The first to come to the grain and oil area to stock up on staple foods. In a natural disaster, even if you don't have anything, as long as you have enough rice and water, you can live forever. Buy 500 bags of rice for 50 catties, 300 bags of various flours, 1,000 catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes, 500 catties of corn, 500 catties of various beans, 500 catties of oats, buckwheat and other miscellaneous grains. These staple foods are enough for a family of three to eat for 70 years. Although Annan was alone, he still bought more. The extra can be used to replace other urgently needed supplies. In the last days, food is money. In the later stages of the flood, a bag of moldy rice can be used to replace the girl's night. Vegetables and fruits cannot be replaced, after all, the space is fresh, and fresh vegetables are still taken out in the last few years, which is absolutely suspicious. Rich Ying'er and their brothers and sisters have learned from the past, in this life, the secrets of space must not be known to anyone. After stocking up on staple food, I came to buy oil again. A total of 500 barrels of oil were bought for 5 liters of oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, etc. Next, we went to the spice area next to it. I bought 600 catties of salt, and a total of 300 catties of various sugars such as brown sugar and white sugar. 600 liters of soy sauce and cooking wine, and 600 liters of vinegar such as aged vinegar, rice vinegar, and white vinegar. Other condiments, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, chili powder, pepper, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, etc., a total of 300 catties. There are also a variety of semi-finished seasonings: hot pot base, barbecue sauce, marinated meat, sauerkraut fish sauce, various sauces, etc. These things are transported in her light van to a place where no one is in the suburbs, and then they are collected into the space without surveillance. It took eight or nine times to recycle it, and it was finally finished. Just as I wanted to continue stocking up on meat and vegetables, my stomach "gurgled". Annan remembered that he was in a hurry to stock up on things, and he hadn't eaten after a busy morning. As a hungry and frightened person in the last days, Annan decisively stopped buying and choosing to soothe his stomach. When I came to the snack street not far from the wholesale market, I was dazzled for a while. Fried chicken restaurant, milk tea shop, barbecue restaurant, Sichuan restaurant, meat and crab pot, hand-rolled noodles...... This is a hotel, this is the dream she has been thinking about day and night in the last four years of the last days! Annan picked a restaurant with the most complete cuisine and walked in. I ordered eight dishes and one soup: Kyoto roast duck, Sanchuan mapo tofu, Northeast pot wrapped pork, West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, garlic baby cabbage, spicy chicken, dry fried beans, pork ribs lotus root and yam soup. The little sister of the waitress who was in charge of ordering was shocked: "Beauty, you order so many dishes by yourself?" Annan looked calm, "I'll invite friends, they haven't arrived yet, you can serve the food first." The dishes are very fast, the meat and vegetables are matched, the salty and sweet are moderate, and the dishes are also very large. Half an hour later, Annan touched his bulging stomach and put down his chopsticks with satisfaction. God knows how much she misses these delicacies in the last few years! Not to mention such a delicious meal with all the color and flavor, even a bite of expired bread has to be snatched from someone's head. For a long time, she could only eat dirt. It's not a joke on the Internet "I'm so poor that I eat soil", but I really eat the soil on the ground. Swallowing dryly, eating too much and making it difficult to defecate, it is very uncomfortable, and many people are even suffocated to death. But if you don't eat, you will starve to death faster. Annan knew the preciousness of food better than anyone else, waved his hand, and called the little sister of the waiter before. "Friends aren't coming, pack for me." Carry the packing box back to the car and put it into the space while no one is paying attention. Although I would love to stock up on some more snacks, the farmer's market closes early, so I should hurry back to buy groceries and come back in the evening. Back at the wholesale market, this time Annam went straight to the meat and egg area. I asked for 8,000 eggs, 4,000 duck eggs, 4,000 goose eggs, and 3,000 quail eggs. 500 kg of pork, 300 kg of beef and mutton, 500 kg of chicken and duck, and 300 geese. It's all dealt with. In addition, I also bought a large number of chicken feet, chicken wings, duck tongue, duck neck, duck intestines, etc., which can be made into lo-mei in the future. Before the end of the world, Annan's favorite thing was to eat spicy duck while watching dramas. Once reborn, she not only has to be full, but also to live a good life. Next Annan came to the seafood area. I bought a total of 1,000 fish, 500 catties of shrimp, 300 catties of clams, clams, oysters and other shellfish, and some molluscs and octopus. After all the meat was prepared, Annan came to the vegetable and fruit area again. 2,000 kilograms of spinach, leeks, lettuce, celery and other green leafy vegetables, and 1,000 kilograms of cucumbers, winter melons, pumpkins and other melons. Chinese cabbage detoxification, 800 catties. Tomatoes, eggplants, bean sprouts, r****h, beans, etc., a total of 1,500 catties. 800 kilograms of shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, fungus, white fungus and other mushrooms. 800 pounds of green onion, ginger and garlic. When it came to the fruit area, Annan only picked a few of his favorites. Apples, pears, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, oranges, lemons, peaches, grapes, lychees, durians, watermelons, cantaloupe, etc., bought a total of 6,000 catties. The market has a complete variety, although some are out-of-season fruits, but some are good to eat, and they can't be eaten after not buying them now. For an afternoon, Annan spent the whole afternoon buying food, driving away, and putting it into the space, and the cycle went on and on. As soon as the food was purchased, she rushed to the city's largest wholesale clothing market. You don't need to buy more clothes, the clothes in the wardrobe at home are very complete, you just need to buy some new ones every year. In the end of the world, I don't pay attention to any style, just be convenient and comfortable. 300 pieces of clothes, pants and skirts for spring, summer and autumn. 300 pairs of sandals, slippers, sneakers, leather shoes and other shoes. I mainly bought warm clothes for the winter, because when the extreme cold comes, thick clothes are as important as the meat on my body. It's summer, and winter out-of-season clothing is very cheap, and many are half price. Annan had down jackets, woolen sweaters, thick cotton trousers, hats, scarves, cotton gloves, etc. Large cotton shoes, snow boots, thick socks, etc. are also arranged. Finally, there are the basic daily necessities. Buy more toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoos, body soaps, laundry detergents and other toiletries. 50 sets of bedding such as thick quilts, pillows, sheets, and pillowcases. There are also pots and pans, garbage bags, scissors, lighters, disposable lunch boxes, and all kinds of miscellaneous things. Annan walked around and saw a large number of purchases of everything. The most important sanitary products such as toilet paper and sanitary napkins were directly pulled into a truckload. Thinking of all kinds of mosquitoes that are rampant in extreme heat, Annan went to buy some insecticides, mosquito coils, toilet water, realgar powder, etc. There are also warm babies and hot water bottles in the extreme cold. Annan bought everything he could think of, but he still didn't think it was enough. After all, it is difficult to spend these few days preparing for the next few decades. But at this time, it was time for the market to close, and Annan had no choice but to stop unsatisfied. Ship everything in batches to uninhabited suburbs and put it into space. Annan, who had been tossing for a day, was tired, so he finally had time to rest and sit in the car with his eyes closed. "Buzz-" The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate. Annan took out his mobile phone, clicked on WeChat, glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.
