By the time they got off the plane, it was already past 4 p.m. They found a hotel near Yiwu and checked in, then went out to stroll through the night market.
The night market was filled with dazzling goods everywhere—it was overwhelming to look at. They ended up buying a lot of things.
That night, they slept dreamlessly.
At 8 a.m., the commodity city came back to life. Crowds bustled everywhere as Yan Qing and Fenfen shopped nonstop! Aside from the items on their list—
Anything they liked, they bought.
Hair ties? Buy!
Headbands? Buy!
Hairpins? Buy!
Cups? Buy!
“Oh—lighters!!!” The most important thing—lighters. Buy, buy, buy—several boxes!
Matches? A few boxes.
Candles? The thickest ones—10 boxes.
Seeing how much they bought, the shop owner even threw in an extra box of candles and trays for free.
By the time they finished purchasing everything, two days had already passed.
After that, Yan Qing and Fenfen immediately flew to another city and headed straight to the clothing market.
Pretty clothes? Buy, buy, buy!
After checking off everything on the list, Yan Qing inexplicably wandered into the men’s and children’s clothing sections.
She thought… what if, in that unfamiliar world, she met her other half?
And maybe… even had a baby.
Speaking of babies—she immediately went to stock up on diapers:
Small sizes: 10 boxes each
Large sizes: 20 boxes each
Fenfen looked at her with a teasing grin, and Yan Qing instantly blushed.
Passing by an outdoor shop, they initially planned to just take a look. But once inside, they were shocked—
There were so many outdoor items they hadn’t prepared!
Gas stoves: 50
Gas canisters: 50 boxes
Tents: 10
Canopies: 10
Rain tarps: 30
Lighting lamps: 20
Batteries: 2 boxes
Storage batteries: 20
Since they had diesel generators anyway.
Air mattresses: 5
Barbecue grills: 5
Charcoal: 50 boxes
The more, the better—even if they didn’t need it now, they would later.
They also bought tools like entrenching shovels.
In addition, they struck a discreet deal with the shop owner.
Quietly slipping him tens of thousands of yuan, they managed to acquire several crossbows, along with extra bolts.
Just those few crossbows alone cost 200,000 yuan.
Two days later, Yan Qing and Fenfen finally began their journey back.
All the purchased goods were shipped to Yan Qing’s city via logistics. They would just need to pick them up upon arrival.
“The orange sunset sinks beneath the horizon,
As night slowly spreads, revealing scattered starlight…”
“Hello, is this Miss Yan Qing? This is Dashan Logistics. You have three shipments arriving today. Please come to ×× Road to pick them up.”
Early in the morning, Yan Qing’s phone kept ringing with delivery notifications.
Today was the third day since they returned. She had rested at home the entire previous day—she had been completely exhausted.
After getting up and washing up, she glanced at the note on the table.
20 days left.
“Qingqing, we’ve bought so much these past few days, but it still feels like we’re missing a lot…” Fenfen walked out with messy, bedhead hair.
“Alright, alright, you’ve worked hard, my dear. Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn’t even know what to buy. Let’s go—I’ll treat you to a big meal today,” Yan Qing said, pinching Fenfen’s cheeks.
“Of course you should treat me! If I don’t take advantage now, I won’t get another chance!” Fenfen’s voice came from the bedroom as she changed clothes.
Driving the rented truck from a couple of days ago, they went to pick up the shipments. After storing everything in the space, they headed to the materials market and hardware market.
Today’s goal: tools.
After running through both markets, they finally gathered everything Yan Qing needed. They also bought a large amount of wire and nylon rope.
They then visited an agricultural supply store to purchase pesticides and tools, along with 200 woven bags for packing.
Finally, they bought 20 large white water barrels.
