After cutting down and revising, they filled two full pages. Yan Qing and Fenfen stayed busy until night, then went out to eat hot pot. Before going to sleep, Yan Qing placed a cup of hot water into her space.
The next day.
Since they were going out shopping, both of them got up early. Yan Qing took the hot water out of the space and found it was still boiling hot.
From this, they confirmed—the space was completely static.
After telling Fenfen, she excitedly hugged Yan Qing.
“That’s amazing! Yan Qing, this means we can store so much more stuff!”
Yan Qing couldn’t help but smile too. Their chances of survival had just increased significantly.
“Let’s go eat. We only have one month left—if we don’t eat now, we won’t get the chance later.”
Yan Qing brought Fenfen to one of her favorite breakfast shops. Their buns were generously filled, and she loved them.
After breakfast, Yan Qing ordered 200 buns from the owner, claiming she was bringing them to her company for employees. Since the owner knew she ran a decoration business, he happily agreed and told her to pick them up the next morning.
After reviewing her finances:
Including her aunt’s compensation money, she had about 10 million yuan.
Her three-bedroom apartment could sell for around 5 million.
Collecting outstanding payments from her company would bring in another 1.5 million.
With all that money in hand—it was time to spend!
Holding their lists, they rented two trucks. Their first stop was the grain, oil, and seasoning market. Aside from rice and flour, everything else could be purchased there.
The market had heavy traffic, and buying in bulk like this was completely normal. People simply assumed they were stocking for a supermarket, which saved Yan Qing a lot of trouble.
They also bought:
Peanut oil: 200 barrels
Soybean oil: 50 barrels
After workers loaded everything onto the trucks, they realized one trip wasn’t enough—they’d have to come back again.
They drove to the entrance of the vegetable market, first storing everything from the trucks into the space. Then they entered the market.
Besides the listed items, they also bought:
100 jin each of green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers
Passing by a seed shop, they went in and bought a wide variety of seeds, as well as fruit trees.
As Fenfen put it, “We can’t just eat without producing. We still need to grow things.”
The market had workers for loading and unloading. After filling the trucks, they returned to the grain market, stored everything again, and made another trip to the vegetable market.
By the end of the day, they had finished everything. Total spending: 300,000 yuan.
The next day, Yan Qing and Fenfen slept until they woke naturally.
Their plan for today was to complete everything related to clothing, food, housing, and transportation. So they decided to go to the largest wholesale commodity city in China—Yiwu.
They immediately booked the nearest flight, packed their luggage, and before leaving, stopped by the breakfast shop to pick up the buns they had ordered the previous day.
Then, they boarded the plane.
