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

Chapter 5: Stocking up on books, medicine and food

The next day was the weekend, the weather was nice, and white clouds were floating in the blue sky, which would make anyone feel better.

The children didn't have to go to school, so Su Yun put their toys and books into storage boxes and put them in a space. He then took the two of them to his specialty store to pick up the goods. The deliveryman was waiting at the door with a full truck of goods, and the two little ones also came to help unload the goods. It took half an hour to carry the goods back and forth.

Su Yun rewarded the two kids with a bag of seaweed cakes each, and then took them to the newly rented warehouse. He set up a table and two chairs at the container at the door, and asked them to read and do homework first, and then took out their notebooks to shop online while waiting for logistics.

Browsing on Dangdang, there are all kinds of books. There is a promotion going on right now, and many books are on sale. The prices are much cheaper than going to a bookstore. Generally speaking, the more you buy, the more discounts you get. Su Yun first bought 6 sets of books for 3 grades in elementary school, 3 grades in junior high school, and 10 grades in high school. Then he ordered exercise books, recommended reading materials, and test papers for various subjects that go with the books.

There are a lot of extracurricular books recommended in the textbooks, so Su Yun bought 4 sets. There are many children in his family, including two boys, a 7-year-old boy in his younger brother's family, and a 6-year-old cousin in Su Xiaogu's family. They are all of school age, so these books can be used.

I continued to place orders for 5 boxes of exercise books and notebooks for each subject, with books in each box.

There are also various food preparation books, wilderness survival guides, family first aid guides, detailed maps of various parts of China with content as detailed as towns and villages, books on crop cultivation, home appliance repair, car repair, and all kinds of domestic and foreign classics can be ordered.

Due to the large order volume, the discount is also very large, and the books can basically be delivered tomorrow.

Next, I contacted an old classmate who works in the pharmaceutical industry and used my connection to ask him to place an order for various common medicines through the pharmaceutical company's system, including cold medicines, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, cough suppressants, antihypertensive drugs, asthma drugs, antidiarrhea drugs, and antipyretics. In addition to some oral medications, the topical medicines include Yunnan Baiyao, gentian violet, bandages, iodine, Band-Aids, chloramphenicol eye ointment, and other trauma hemostatic drugs.

There are also allergy-relief drugs for children's rhinitis. The eldest son Wang Qiqi has rhinitis, and the doctor said he has to continue taking allergy-relief drugs for 5 years. Su Yun prescribed a 10-year supply.

A lot of common Chinese medicine prescriptions were also picked up, mainly those for clearing away heat and reducing internal heat, folk remedies for treating stomach problems, cold-relieving medicines, heat-relieving medicines, expectorant and cough-relieving medicines, qi-replenishing and blood-tonifying medicines, and antiparasitic prescription medicines.

There were also other life-saving drugs, some that could be bought in pharmacies outside and some that could not. Su Yun asked her old classmate to get them for her for Dabului's sake, and it was agreed that they would be delivered to the warehouse within a week. The old classmate wanted to ask a few more questions, but Su Yun shut her up with a big red envelope.

She really didn't know how to explain this matter. She didn't study medicine, so she couldn't find any other excuses to make unnecessary explanations.

Before he knew it, it was an hour before dinner time, so Su Yun quickly opened his phone and started ordering food.

We ordered 5 servings of our sons’ favorite durian cheese pizza, ham pizza, fruit pizza, and beef pizza from 10 different stores.

The store called and asked if the order was wrong. Su Yun replied that he had ordered nothing wrong. He made the excuse that his two children were transferring to other schools and asked the store to send pizza to all the students in the school. He asked the store to deliver the pizza while it was hot.

The store owner did not dare to neglect the big order and the whole kitchen became busy.

I ordered a variety of breads, cakes and snacks from a certain Happy Bakery and a certain Kama, and I didn't stop until I had cleared out all the stocks in the store.

I ordered my favorite milk teas at ten different milk tea shops nearby, including mango with cheese, grape with cheese, strawberry with cheese, grass jelly, ginger milk tea, double skin milk, ginger milk, etc. These are all flavors that my family likes to drink, and I ordered 20 cups of each.

Su Yun didn't dare to order too much at once, mainly because he was afraid that if he ordered too much, they wouldn't be able to handle it. If the ice melted, the milk tea would not taste good.

If there are 10 stores, that means 200 cups each. It is enough to place these takeout orders once a day.

When they return to the fruit market in their hometown, they can stock up on fruits and make fresh juice for the children, which is more nutritious and healthy.

I continued to order 50 servings of big plate chicken, 50 servings of spicy chicken, 50 servings of braised lion head, curry, dry-fried shrimp, salted shrimp, steamed sea bass, beef, curry chicken steak, boiled fish, spicy crab, fried rice cake, stir-fried lamb with green onions, toothpick meat, pork slices with mushrooms, twice-cooked pork, beef stew with potatoes, roujiamo, French fries, hamburgers and other home-cooked dishes in the takeaway food area. I placed the orders separately from 10 different highly praised stores, totaling 20 servings each.

I also left the WeChat accounts of the proprietresses of two restaurants that I often eat at and whose hygiene is good, and asked them to deliver 10 portions to the warehouse before mealtime for 50 consecutive days, and pack them all separately in take-away boxes, including soup, rice, and vegetables.

After I paid the deposit, the proprietress smiled happily and guaranteed that she would use fresh ingredients.

Just as lunchtime arrived, food was delivered one after another. There were also takeouts from the restaurants that Wang Jie often ate, such as curry beef, green pepper squid, crayfish, green pepper beef, steak, etc. Due to the large quantity and variety, in order to save time, Su Yun personally helped to take the food off the car when it was delivered. Fortunately, the delivery riders and merchants did not miss it.

Su Yun was very surprised to see the takeaway from the Caishen Dessert Shop that she had been longing for. Every dish and dessert made by this shop was very much to her taste. She called Wang Jie and chatted with him for a few minutes before reluctantly hanging up.

Qiqi and Tangtang were so happy to see their mother bought so many of their favorite delicacies and let them choose by themselves. The two brothers picked hamburgers and pizzas and a few drinks and started eating at the makeshift semi-public table. Su Yun took advantage of the children's inattention and half-closed the door to quickly put the remaining food into the space. The delicacies would not taste good if they were outside the space for too long.

I picked out a bowl of curry beef rice and a cup of grape milk to eat. Before I could have a good rest, the couriers started delivering the goods one after another. The clothes, shoes, hand warmers, hot water bottles, electric blankets, coal, etc. that I ordered online yesterday have all arrived.

As soon as the deliveryman left, Su Yun opened a box of thermal clothes to check the quality. As expected, she was not disappointed. The quality was very good. The money was well spent. She closed the door and put the things into the space.

I continued to place orders online and replenished the children with some stationery and sports supplies, as well as some educational toys, smart positioning watches, and 50 tablets for the children to study and pass the time.

Some people on the Internet sell specially downloaded high-definition domestic and foreign movies, TV series, variety shows, popular science, adventure, puzzle, enlightenment, documentaries, wilderness survival and other video materials, English ear training cartoons USB flash drives, which can be directly inserted into a notebook or mobile phone and tablet to watch directly, even if there is no network. Su Yun felt that if he downloaded these by himself, it would not only be incomplete, but also very time-consuming. It is too convenient to buy ready-made ones.

In this way, I bought hundreds of USB flash drives, all of which had a large capacity of 64G and contained a huge amount of content.

I bought 30 of the latest satellite smartphones in Beijing. Even if there is no network, I can make calls via satellite, but the cost is quite expensive.

200 large-capacity power banks, 200 rechargeable emergency flashlights, 100 high-intensity flashlights, 100 super-bright head-mounted mining lamps, 200 boxes of candles, and 30 portable retro windproof lanterns. We also ordered 50 boxes of wicks and 500 kilograms of kerosene. We also ordered 10 boxes of windproof lighters, 1 per box, 200 outdoor fire sticks, 100 bottles of outdoor large insecticide spray, one bottle can spray 1000 square meters, and 3000 backpack spray equipment.

In the previous life, the flood receded, the temperature rose, the plague spread, and a large number of mosquitoes, snakes, ants and unknown flying insects were everywhere, making people miserable. Anyway, Su Yun placed an order according to the shopping list, and then slowly made it after checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps.

After finishing all these, the two children were already a little restless. Fortunately, the Wuchang rice, pearl rice, Thai fragrant rice noodles, flour, pickled mustard and edible salt ordered from the grain and oil boss yesterday arrived. Although it was only one-third, it was still very spectacular when piled up on one side of the warehouse. Fortunately, the owner of this wholesale store had a large warehouse, and the inventory was sufficient as the New Year was approaching. Otherwise, if Su Yun bought so much, he would need several days to adjust the goods.

Su Yun had almost finished processing the more important rice and flour. The seasonings were basically ordered online, including 3000 bottles of light soy sauce, 1000 bottles of dark soy sauce, 2000 bottles of oyster sauce, 500 boxes of salt, 200 boxes of chicken essence, 800 bottles of bean paste, 1000 packs of spicy hot pot base, 500 boxes of mustard tubers, 200 boxes of curry cubes, 2000 bottles of aged vinegar, 500 kilograms of sesame oil, 500 kilograms of secret barbecue seasoning, and 500 kilograms of star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf, and peppercorn spices. There were also various marinade packages prepared, including 5 large boxes for Dongpo pork, marinated eggs, braised pork, and marinated pig's trotters.

Then I went to the snack shop and bought the children's favorite meat jerky, dried fruit, ham, and snacks, each costing 1 yuan. I bought more than a dozen kinds of candy and chocolate alone, spending nearly 5 yuan.

At this time, Wang Jie called and said that the company's affairs were almost dealt with and he was ready to go home. Su Yun simply took the children home first and took out the honey roast duck, Taiwanese braised pork feet, big plate chicken, braised lamb, boiled beef, and sauced spare ribs that they packed up yesterday from the space to heat them up, and then cooked a pot of fragrant Thai rice. The family sat around the dining table to eat. The silhouettes projected on the wall by the warm yellow light looked beautiful and cozy.

Since we got the space, the refrigerator at home has become a decoration. We only put some canned drinks and some fruit snacks in it. All the food at home is placed in the space.

It was still early after dinner, and Su Yun lay contentedly on the sofa, browsing Taobao while eating a plate of oranges peeled by her husband.

After Wang Jie sent his two children to their room to sleep, he also did his homework on his laptop overnight. Solar energy equipment, generators, water purifier equipment, electronic products, outdoor supplies, self-defense weapons, assault boats, etc. are not to be purchased randomly. You need to do homework on their power and usage conditions, and choose brands and buy them with high cost performance. All the details also require time to study.
