The next morning, she woke up a little after 7 a.m. After a simple wash-up, she first placed orders on her phone for various foods such as luosifen (snail noodles), sour and spicy noodles, Xinjiang rice noodles, cold noodles, and self-heating hot pots. Then she went out to pick up breakfast.
After eating breakfast, Jiang Li ordered more than 300 shelving units. She paid an extra 5,000 yuan for installation, asking them to assemble everything on-site. After that, she bought over a hundred water storage tanks, each capable of holding nearly 5 tons of water. The tanks had faucets installed at the bottom, making water extraction much more convenient.
The capacity of these water tanks would be enough for her to fill them over the next half a year. Half of the tanks would be used for drinking water, while the rest would be divided, some filled with tap water, and some with hot water. Since items stored in her space maintained their temperature when taken out, it would be very convenient to use. She arranged a delivery time and had them sent to the warehouse.
Over the next few days, Jiang Li went out every day to purchase supplies, mainly at the farmers’ market.
Vegetables: cabbage, leafy greens, baby bok choy, celery, corn, winter melon, cucumber, cauliflower, tomatoes…
Aquatic products: black fish, crucian carp, sea bass, yellow croaker, grass carp, crayfish, prawns, crabs, squid, scallops, clams, octopus…
Meat: pork, ribs, beef, lamb, chicken, eggs, duck, goose, rabbit…
She also bought several live chickens, ducks, rabbits, and some fish fry. She purchased some live seafood as well. As for live cattle and sheep, they were not available locally, so she would have to buy them from other regions since there were no farms in the area that raised them.
After that, she bought various fruit trees, both mature ones and saplings, as well as seeds for different kinds of vegetables and fruits.
Once these were planted in her space, they could reproduce. The more she raised them, the more they would multiply. With properly planted seeds, not only could they grow into edible crops, but they could also produce new seeds for future planting. Thinking about how she would have an endless supply of meat, fruits, and vegetables in the future space, Jiang Li grew increasingly happy.
She continued using the same cover story about supplying school canteens, added the shop owners’ contact information, arranged delivery times to the warehouse, and then moved on to another location to continue shopping.
Fruits: apples, bananas, pears, watermelon, dragon fruit…
Snacks: biscuits, milk tea, cakes, candy, chocolate, potato chips…
She also went to supermarkets to buy various drinks, coffee, yogurt, milk, cola, bottled water, instant noodles, bread, compressed biscuits, canned food, ice cream, chopsticks, disposable lunch boxes, plastic wrap, storage bags, sealed containers, as well as pots, bowls, and utensils.
She also bought various personal care and cleaning products, including laundry detergent, laundry soap, bar soap, shampoo, body wash, floral water, mosquito repellent liquid, mosquito coils, frostbite ointment, insect repellent, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dishwashing liquid, sanitary pads, tissues, wet wipes, hand cream, skincare products, and other everyday necessities.
Then she purchased solar panels, fans, charcoal, tents, diesel generators, gasoline generators, solar power generators, flashlights, batteries, rechargeable batteries, hand warmers, small electric heaters, air-cooling fans, gas cylinders, portable gas canisters, ice makers, and more.
She also bought snow boots, hiking shoes, sneakers, slippers, ice skates, and similar footwear. As for high heels, they were completely outside Jiang Li’s consideration.
For clothing, Jiang Li contacted a factory she had previously worked with and placed a custom order for short-sleeved shirts, shorts, long-sleeved tops, long pants, jackets, thermal wear, cotton-padded clothes, down jackets, thermal pants, quilts, bedsheets, duvet covers, pillows, hats, gloves, and more.
Within just one month, she had already spent several million. Fortunately, someone had previously acquired her company; otherwise, the money in her account would not have been enough. The company had sold for over ten million, but now only about five million remained after her expenses.
After that, Jiang Li did not plan to go out every day anymore. She mostly stayed at home shopping online and exercising, because physical fitness was the foundation of survival. In a post-apocalyptic world, only a strong body could ensure long-term survival. She also cooked her own meals, packed them into lunch boxes after cooking, and stored them in her space so she could eat directly when cooking was inconvenient. Sometimes she also ordered takeout, buying more than ten portions at a time and storing them in her space.
By this time, some of the water storage tanks had already been filled.
Occasionally, she would still go out shopping. From the shop owners she had previously added as contacts, she would periodically place additional orders, then go to the warehouse to store everything into her space.
