Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

he boss stared at Liu Ruyan in astonishment. "Are you really going to buy all this?"

Liu Ruyan nodded as if it were a matter of course. "Of course! I've already told my family. I'm starting my own business this time, and I'm going to surprise them."

Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, the boss nodded subconsciously.

Who wouldn't be shocked if they saw someone buying so much grain?

Although he thought this way, the boss quickly recited his account number.

Only a fool would turn down money. He didn't care if Liu Ruyan could make a profit. All he cared about was making money from this deal with Liu Ruyan!

Liu Ruyan transferred half of the deposit. They agreed that the goods would be delivered to the warehouse in three days, and the boss would call her then. Only then did she leave the store.

With the grain purchased, it was time to buy oil.

Liu Ruyan went to another store that specialized in selling oil. She ordered 100 barrels of rapeseed oil, 100 barrels of peanut oil, 100 barrels of soybean oil, 100 barrels of sunflower seed oil, and 100 barrels of sesame oil.

She also ordered 500 bottles each of hemp seed oil, corn oil, olive oil, camellia oil, palm oil, grape seed oil, and walnut oil.

With so much oil, Liu Ruyan felt that she couldn't even finish it in her next life, let alone this one.

But having been starved in her previous life, Liu Ruyan didn't care if she could finish it. All she wanted to do was keep buying!

What she bought was hers, and only then would she feel secure.

Next, Liu Ruyan went to a non - staple food wholesale store to buy various seasonings.

Salt was an essential item. Not only could it be used for cooking, but it was also a very popular currency after the apocalypse and could be used for bartering.

A box of salt contained 50 bags, and Liu Ruyan bought 1,000 boxes at once.

Besides salt, sugar was also a hard currency during the apocalypse.

She bought 1,000 jin of white granulated sugar, 1,000 jin of white rock sugar, 1,000 jin of yellow rock sugar, and 1,000 jin of brown sugar.

For various hard fruit candies, milk candies, and crispy candies, she ordered 500 jin of each.

She ordered 500 bottles each of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, mature vinegar, fragrant vinegar, rice vinegar, white vinegar, cooking wine, and extremely fresh flavor sauce.

She ordered 100 boxes each of chicken essence, monosodium glutamate, five - spice powder, thirteen - spice powder, cumin powder, chili powder, and pepper powder.

She also bought 100 boxes each of various barbecue seasonings, hot pot bases, and cooking seasoning packets.

Liu Ruyan also didn't forget to buy various sauces.

Mushroom sauce, Lao Gan Ma, soybean paste, broad - bean paste, bibimbap sauce, chili sauce, sweet noodle sauce, and Korean sweet and spicy sauce. She bought each of them by the box, 200 boxes of each.

Spices were also essential.

She ordered 200 jin each of Chinese prickly ash, Sichuan pepper, star anise, bay leaves, cloves, rosemary, sage, fennel, chili peppers, and cinnamon.

Since Liu Ruyan ordered large quantities, these items could only be delivered at the earliest tomorrow.

It was already noon, so Liu Ruyan simply left the wholesale market and drove to have a meal.

Having not eaten in a restaurant for years, when she saw a table full of delicious - looking food, Liu Ruyan swallowed hard and couldn't wait to start eating.

She used to come to this restaurant often. They served home - cooked dishes, but the taste was excellent.

Thinking that she probably wouldn't be able to eat these things after the apocalypse, Liu Ruyan felt a bit sad.

After a moment's thought, she made a decision.

After eating, Liu Ruyan found the boss.

Under the pretext of ordering work meals, Liu Ruyan ordered ten servings of each dish in the restaurant. She would come to pick them up every noon for a month.

It wasn't that Liu Ruyan only planned to buy this much. Besides this restaurant, there were many other restaurants she liked. She planned to visit them all later and make orders at each one.

This way, even during the apocalypse, she could still taste the food from before.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Liu Ruyan shuttled between various restaurants and finally ordered all the dishes she loved.

As the sun began to set, Liu Ruyan simply went to the snack street.

There were plenty of delicious snacks on the street, and she definitely didn't want to miss them.

Cold jelly, cold rice noodles, cold noodles, cold buckwheat noodles, stinky tofu, grilled gluten, and kebabs. Liu Ruyan missed each of them dearly.

She ate and bought at the same time. When she left the snack street, her hands were full.

If it weren't for the fact that the snack street was crowded with people and full of surveillance cameras, she would have put all these things into the space long ago.

It was only when she got into the car that Liu Ruyan put all the snacks into the space.

Near dusk, Liu Ruyan had already checked. The two - sips - worth of yogurt she had left was still in the same state as when she first put it in.

The space had a preservation function!

Whatever was put in would come out in the same state.

With this, Liu Ruyan's last worry disappeared completely, and she could go on a shopping spree without any hesitation!

After returning home and taking a bath, Liu Ruyan didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, she opened Taobao.

Some things could be bought at the wholesale market, while some could be bought online.

For example, some of her favorite snacks.

Pickled - pepper - flavored chicken feet, tiger - skin - patterned chicken feet, various spicy strips, crispy rice, potato chips, dried small fish, and shredded squid. Liu Ruyan placed orders for all of them.

Since she ordered a large quantity, Liu Ruyan didn't write her home address. She had the items sent directly to the rented warehouse.

After placing the orders, Liu Ruyan took out the previously printed list, marked the items she had already bought, and then went to sleep in peace.

She didn't sleep well that night. Her dreams were filled with scenes of struggling to survive during the apocalypse.

Finally, it was dawn. Liu Ruyan opened her eyes, confirmed that she was still in her apartment room, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was just a dream!

In this life, she would definitely live better than in the previous one!

For breakfast, Liu Ruyan fried sausages and eggs for herself, and had a delicious meal with the millet porridge and soup dumplings she bought yesterday.

After eating and drinking her fill, Liu Ruyan immediately drove out.

Today was another day of big purchases!

The previous day, she had bought things related to food and drinks. Today, Liu Ruyan went to buy daily necessities.

Laundry powder, laundry liquid, soap, toilet soap, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dishwashing liquid. She bought them all by the box, 200 boxes of each.

Toilet paper, wet wipes, disinfectant wipes, sanitary napkins. She bought such large quantities that she wouldn't be able to use them all even in two lifetimes.

As for skin - care products and facial cleansers, Liu Ruyan had already made phone calls and ordered dozens of sets of each of the brands she usually used.

After thinking about it, Liu Ruyan also bought several large boxes of cheap and useful hand creams and vanishing creams.

After buying toiletries, Liu Ruyan went to buy disposable lunch boxes, disposable chopsticks, plastic wrap, plastic bags, and aluminum foil.

These were all consumables, and production hadn't resumed even by the tenth year of the apocalypse.

So for each of these, Liu Ruyan bought a large quantity.

The number of disposable lunch boxes was so large that even if she used two and threw two away for each meal, she would still have enough for many lifetimes.

Besides food, drink was also very important.

The first year of the apocalypse was extremely hot. Not only was the temperature ridiculously high, but there was also no rain. Water was a very important survival resource.

Liu Ruyan contacted the manufacturer and ordered 1,000 buckets and 1,000 water tanks.

Each water tank could hold two tons of water, and there was a faucet installed at the lower part of the tank. Water could be drawn by simply turning it on when needed.

The buckets were the type used on water dispensers. Liu Ruyan planned to use them to hold filtered water.
