As she let out a yawn, Bai Yingxia turned to the helpers and asked, "How much longer will it take before it’s done?"
Hearing this, Wang He, Lu Jiaojiao, and Xu Mei sped up their movements.
"It will be done after we clean up the rooms. I will come back tomorrow morning to send the rest of the packages to the postal office," Wang He replied.
Hearing this, Bai Yingxia nodded and calculated their wages for today.
Half an hour later, they had cleaned everything.
"Give me your QR codes," Bai Yingxia said as she opened her payment app.
The three of them quickly opened their phones and showed her their QR codes. Bai Yingxia scanned their codes one by one and transferred 3,000 yuan to each of them.
Seeing the amount, Xu Mei said, "Miss Bai, the amount is too much."
"Count the extra as a bonus."
Not expecting to get a bonus, everyone was excited. After they thanked her, they left while carrying the trash bags.
When she was finally alone, Bai Yingxia locked the door and went to sleep. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she drifted to sleep.
Early the next morning, she was woken up by the sound of a doorbell. Without even checking her appearance, Bai Yingxia went to open the door.
Wang He was embarrassed when he saw her untidy clothes and averted his gaze. "Good morning, Miss Bai. I came to pick up the packages."
Bai Yingxia nodded and gestured for him to go in. Wang He didn’t dare linger and quickly carried the packages down. He worked for two hours before he loaded all the packages onto his truck.
When he was done, she transferred 200 yuan to Wang He. Before he left, she suddenly said, "Brother, the weather has been strange lately. There might be a typhoon in two months. You should stock up on some food and water at home."
Hearing this, Wang He was confused, but he still nodded and thanked her. He was living alone in this city, so stocking up on some food and water in his rented room was not a problem. He always needed to stock up on some food at home.
After she warned him, Bai Yingxia went to wash up and left the house. Today, Happy Farm would deliver the goods. There were also outdoor gears and solar-powered generators.
She went to the mini market near the building and bought some bread and banana milk. While she waited for the deliveries, she had her breakfast at the warehouse entrance.
Soon after, the trucks arrived. It was the outdoor gear she ordered. She instructed them to load the goods into the warehouse. Before they finished, several more trucks arrived. This time, they were from the store selling solar-powered generators.
To save time, everyone helped unload the goods. In less than three hours, one-third of the warehouse was filled with supplies.
Bai Yingxia signed the receipts and waited until they left before she stored everything in her space’s warehouse. While she waited for the delivery from Happy Farm, she used her mind to arrange the supplies according to their type and size.
In the afternoon, several large trucks from Happy Farm finally arrived. This time, everyone worked until the sky darkened before they finished unloading everything.
Since it was late, she gave the workers red envelopes. Everyone received 100 yuan. Although the amount was not much, it was not small either. After thanking her, they finally left.
Before leaving, Bai Yingxia stored everything in her space’s warehouse. When she saw so many bags of seeds, she was confused. She remembered that she didn’t order any seeds from Happy Farm.
When she checked her email, she saw a new email from Happy Farm. They had actually given her a bag of each type of seed they had. Besides the seeds, they also gave her two seedlings each for apple, apricot, orange, avocado, peach, jackfruit, and mango.
Reading this, she finally understood. She stored the seeds and drove her car back home.
This time, she entered her space after dinner and went to check the seeds. Since she didn’t know if the spring water was safe for consumption, she decided to test it out.
She decided to try it on an apple seedling. As soon as she made up her mind, she carried the seedling to the black soil area. Using her palms, she scooped some spring water and poured it onto the seedling’s soil.
Bai Yingxia waited for half an hour, but nothing happened. Since she was still unsure, she decided to wait until tomorrow. If the seedling survived, then the water was safe for consumption.
Then, she looked at the black soil. Now that she had seeds, she decided not to waste the resource. The plot of black soil was only 20 square meters, divided into 10 sections, each of which was 2 square meters, so she couldn’t plant everything.
She had zero knowledge of farming, so she searched for tutorial videos on the internet.
Thinking about the extreme heat at the beginning of the apocalypse, she decided to plant 4 cucumbers, 8 cherry tomatoes, 14 iceberg lettuces, 4 eggplants, 20 strawberries, 5 sweet potatoes, and 8 potatoes.
The rest of the soil would be used to plant 1 peach tree and 1 avocado tree. She also left a spot for the apple tree in case it survived.
When she was done, she left the space, took a shower, and went to sleep.
The next morning, Bai Yingxia woke up at 7 o’clock in the morning. She cooked a pack of instant noodles and added an egg for breakfast.
While she ate, she placed orders for snacks, instant noodles, canned food, dried food, seasoning, various types of cooking oil, bandages, gauze, antiseptic ointment, rubbing alcohol, vitamins, medications, and gas cylinders.
She also ordered daily necessities like body soap, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, skin care products, wet wipes, toilet paper, menstrual products, diapers, milk powder, hand sanitizer, powder and liquid detergent, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and everything she could think of.
