Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

The Su family is busy every day and leads a very fulfilling life. Su Yun's space has also gained a lot of good things because of everyone's collective efforts. In addition to food, everyone has also stockpiled miscellaneous things. Su's father has collected more than a dozen sets of knives for slaughtering pigs and cattle, a set of more than a dozen knives of different sizes, Su's mother's bath towels, face towels and small square handkerchiefs, Su Xiaogu's super sewing basket, Su Zhangming's 5 desktop computers, it is said that he has downloaded a lot of stand-alone games and also equipped with hundreds of game boxes, Zhang Lili got hundreds of boxes of collagen drinks, Wang Jie went to the market to buy all kinds of medicinal liquors, and the little ones have also bought a lot of toys they like recently. Su Yun is busy like a top receiving and sorting goods every day.

Today is market day in the neighboring Xingle Town, which produces a lot of rice wine, sweet wine and fruit wine. They collected 1000 kilograms of each of these. The wine stall owner said directly that the couple were wine dealers and they collected their wine here to sell somewhere else. Wang Jie did not explain and was quite satisfied with the new identity given by the wine stall owner.

Zhang Lili has had a great harvest recently. She made 1000 kilograms of rice noodles, 500 kilograms of white glutinous rice cakes, 500 kilograms of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, 1000 rice dumplings, 300 kilograms of rice cakes, and received 1000 kilograms of high-quality bacon and sausages from other families. The wine brewed in advance is also ready.

Su Zhangming took her to the nearby village several times to harvest several carts of grapes and tangerines.

Su Xiaogu's side is even more outrageous. She cooks in all kinds of ways. Diners who often come to eat here even joke that the dishes recently are numerous and delicious, and the value for money is simply great. As a result, Su Xiaogu has more and more customers, and even the workers can't cope with it. Within a dozen days, they have stockpiled more than 20 dishes, totaling more than 2,000 servings.

In addition to running errands to stock up on supplies every day, Su Zhangming also went to the farm machinery store to buy hullers, rice mills, tillage machines, food dryers, and various farm machinery used in the fields.

Su's father and mother sell half of the meat, store the other half, and also collect some meat. After closing the stall every afternoon, they go home and process some of the stored meat. They either wash it, cut it into pieces and put it in bags, or slice it and put it in bags for later use, or use the meat grinder at home to grind it into meat paste and then pack it. The pig's trotters, cow's trotters and internal organs are also cleaned and sent to Su Xiaogu's shop. Those that need to be cooked are cooked, and those that need to be braised are braised in a big pot and then vacuum-packed in food bags.

A series of actions resulted in high water, electricity and gas bills at home and in the store this month. The meter reader even asked Su's father if he wanted to check if there was something wrong, which made Su's father laugh and cry.

Everyone has been checking for omissions and filling in the gaps in the group. There is a constant stream of messages in the group every day, with all kinds of confirmation, reply, receipt, and price comparison information rolling in.

The next day was the 20th, one of the few days off each month. The family decided to go shopping in the county town before the lockdown. They had stockpiled a lot of meat, a full 90 tons, and several kilograms of beef hooves, beef tendons, beef brisket, beef brains, and beef marrow. They also bought a lot of meat from other stalls, including mutton, rabbit, chicken, duck, and fish. The Su family couldn't finish eating it all even if they ate it for two lifetimes.

On the 20th, the whole family got up early and took the four kids with them. There were more people and it was more lively than the last time we went to Disneyland.

Wang Jie drove a Huolala, and Su Zhangming drove a medium-sized truck that barely held eleven people. The family started from the small town at 6 o'clock. The two cars first went to the back door of the fruit wholesale market in the county town and waited. Wang Jie took the initiative to stay at the back door to receive the goods, and the rest of the people all rushed into the fruit wholesale market. According to the plan, everyone had only two hours to purchase. Adults and children bought whatever they wanted to eat and then transported it to the truck and Huolala truck at the back door. The market wholesaled dragon fruit, durian, mango, orange, cantaloupe, apples, bananas, pears, grapes, cherry tomatoes and other fruits at very cheap prices. They tried each one. If the taste was particularly good, they would buy dozens of boxes directly. Soon, six adults and four children had stockpiled nearly 2 tons of fruit in just two hours.

I went to the clothing market without stopping. It took another two hours. Although Su Yun had already stocked up a lot of clothing, it would be a waste if he didn't spend the money in his account. Others went to buy ready-made clothes, but Su Yun bought a lot of cloth. There are still shops selling cloth in the small county. The locals here have the habit of cutting their own clothes. I bought colorful cloth of various materials, thin, thick, padded, and for weddings. I also bought a lot of zippers, buttons, needles and thread, and several sewing machines. I can learn to make clothes if I want to in the future.

The whole family stocked up a lot of clothes and shoes according to their own preferences and needs. Su Ma also took out other people's summer stocks and stocked up a lot of summer clothes and sandals.

When everything was successfully stored in the space, it was already lunch time. They went to the most expensive restaurant in the area and ordered a table of delicious food. After lunch, Su Zhangming took Zhang Lili and Su Xiaogu to the supermarket for a stroll.

Su's father and mother were going to the department store, so Su Yun took the four children to play in the children's playground at the entrance of the supermarket. The four children were chasing and playing around the trampoline and slide. Su Yun took a lot of photos and videos of them and sent them to the group.

She was indeed a little tired from all the busy work recently, so she finally sat down to rest for a while, drank a cup of milk tea, checked her phone and relaxed her tense nerves.

Open a well-known social platform.

I have seen reports of lockdowns in many state capitals. Martial law and silence have been imposed across the country. It seems that even small counties will be affected soon.

Many factories have stopped production, but on the highway, fleets of trucks are constantly transporting goods. Many onlookers were confused and took short videos and posted them online. Su Yun looked at the long queue of trucks piled with supplies and machines, and suddenly remembered that a week before the extreme cold, there were a lot of comments online suggesting that citizens stock up. Maybe the National Meteorological Administration also detected an unusual climate disaster and posted it online on purpose? Those who listen to advice live better than those who don't.

In the previous life, most people thought it was alarmist and didn't take it seriously. When they saw a small number of people rushing to the supermarket to buy things frantically, they would laugh at them for making a fuss. It just so happened that Su Yun's family were those who thought they were sober and didn't stock up.

Su Yun sighed and stopped reading this type of information. He opened Weibo and looked at the various strategies posted by the strategy bloggers he followed.

Two hours later, when Su Yun returned with the children, he was stunned by the things piled up in the truck. Facial masks and skin care products were obviously what Zhang Lili wanted to buy, various cigarettes and alcohol were bought by Su Zhangming, and various snacks, candies and chocolates were bought by Su Xiaogu. There were also many miscellaneous foods and daily necessities piled up in the truck.

Su's father and mother were still loading things into the car, including kimchi jars, glass wine jugs, large stainless steel basins, stainless steel barrels, stainless steel pots and pans, fishing nets, plastic sheets, waterproof sheets, various bamboo products, bamboo baskets, bamboo weavings, fish cages, wooden bathtubs, foot soaking tubs and other large items.

There is still more than half of the space in Su Yun's space that can be used for storage. After making sure that there is no surveillance and that no one will discover it, he puts everything into the space.

After this shopping spree, there was basically no particular need for anyone to stock up on supplies, but there was still more than 1000 million in cash left, and anyone would be a fool not to spend it all.

So in the following period of time everyone was buying things in various ways, even those that Su Yun had stockpiled before would be purchased in large quantities.

They also go to the seafood market to buy oysters, shrimps, crabs, scallops, mussels, conches, clams, razor fins, squids, mackerel, hairtail, abalone, sea fish, squid and other seafood.

There are many dried seafood in the market, and Su Yun tries to buy as much as possible. In the future, even if he doesn’t eat them himself, he will feel proud when he trades them or gives them as gifts.

Su Zhangming went to the owner of a shooting range to order a batch of crossbows and bows and arrows.

The prices they offered for daily practice models and lethal bows and crossbows were far higher than the market price. For Dabuluo's sake, the boss was willing to expedite the delivery and agreed to send the goods to the town in a week. There were a total of 2000 powerful crossbows and powerful bows, each for training, training arrows, and a full bladed arrows. They were all stainless steel metal arrowheads with barbs and hollow blood vessels, which could be reused repeatedly. The prey shot by them would have to lose a layer of skin in order to pull out the arrows, and they would also be prone to death from excessive blood loss.

This is a life-saving weapon suitable for long-range attacks, and it is also the last resort. A total of 115 million was spent, and there is still 1100 million left.

There is really nothing else to buy, so we can only stock up more food, not only for our own consumption, but also because food will be a timeless hard currency for transactions in the future.

At the largest grain and oil wholesale distribution center, all ready-made rice and flour were needed, and 2000 tons of each were ordered for a total amount of 700 million yuan, with a balance of 400 million yuan on the card.

After hearing from Su Yun that scrap metal could also be exchanged for points at the rescue base, Su Zhangming and Wang Jie drove to the scrap station and collected a lot of scrap metal. They spent a total of 30 yuan on those unwanted metals. There were several small hills of scrap metal piled up in Su Yun's space. In addition to the discarded steel bars and pipes, there were also many rusty iron racks, parts of some machines, broken kitchen knives, scrapped farm tools, etc.

Recently, Su Yun always felt that she had missed something very important, but she could never remember it. When she was about to lie down to rest at night, she remembered that she had not stored any drinking water at all. The 200 3-ton water tanks stacked on the far side of the space were empty. If they were fully stocked, there would be 600 tons of drinking water. She usually fiddled with the supplies in the space in her consciousness, but ignored these water tanks.

Su Yun and Wang Jie went to the largest mountain spring nearby to store water. Although it was a bit far away, the water quality was good and local people often went there with buckets to collect drinking water. The government even specially built several larger water storage and sedimentation tanks and equipped them with more than a dozen faucets for citizens to collect drinking water.

I heard that the spring water there not only meets the standards for direct drinking, but is also rich in trace elements and minerals that are beneficial to the human body. Almost all residents in the surrounding area go there to fetch water.

One of them was responsible for keeping watch while the other was responsible for fetching water, and they worked together very well.

Using the space in the wild made Su Yun very nervous. There were more than a dozen faucets collecting water at the same time. Every time the water was full, he would use the side of the Huolala to cover and change the bucket. Although there were no cameras here, he was always afraid that someone would inadvertently see it. After filling only 60 buckets of water, he heard people carrying buckets up the mountain one after another. Su Yun quickly put away the extra-large bucket and took out two small empty buckets from the space to collect water. Wang Jie understood and pretended to have filled the water and drove the Huolala to a farther place and parked it.

An auntie passed by Su Yun and muttered, "It's strange. Every time I come here to get water, the reservoir is full. How come it's only half full today? Is the water volume low? I hope we won't run out of water to drink in the future."

Su Yun lowered his head and carried two buckets of water as he walked towards Huolala. It was only 9 o'clock in the morning. The two were wandering around the county town. They passed by a hardware store and stocked up on some commonly used household spare parts, such as iron wire, iron mesh, wire rope, wire cutters, electric welders, and other professional tools needed to build a house.

In the afternoon, both of them were wandering around the building materials market, stocking up on various electrical wires, water pipes, faucets, tees, switches, lamps, iron sheets, etc. that were needed for decoration.

I went to the lumber mill and stocked up on a batch of boards, almost all of which were solid wood, as well as some treated anti-corrosion, waterproof and insect-proof boards. I stocked up on two trucks of each. I felt that I would have no problem building two more villas in the future.

Finally, we went to Wenti Road. Wang Jie saw the cushions that children usually use as buffers when practicing wrestling, Sanda or sports, so he bought 20 regular soft cushions, 100 skipping ropes, 2 ping-pong tables, 100 rackets and 1000 ping-pong balls. He also chose two billiard tables, with matching billiard balls and cues. The boss generously gave him 10 sets. He also bought 3 children's board games, including football and curling games. He also bought a batch of children's puzzles, 10 indoor basketball hoops, and 100 basketballs.

After finishing their work during the day, they quietly went to the mountain spring under the cover of darkness at night. The water level in the reservoir had returned to normal, and they didn't go home until the remaining buckets were filled.
