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

Su Yun finished a pot of scented tea without realizing it. He stood up and made a cup of milk. Looking at the brewed milk, he remembered that he forgot to stock up on milk. Not only did his children and the elderly in his family drink milk, but most importantly, his 31-year-old best friend had just gotten married at the beginning of this year and had just gotten pregnant with her long-awaited child two months ago. Adults can go hungry, but children cannot. He immediately took the issue of milk powder to heart.

Wang Jie poked his dazed wife and told her about today's gains. The remaining money from Che Zhichun, the sucker, would be credited to his account within three days, and he would have to cooperate with them in the final handover tomorrow.

This afternoon, when he had some free time, he asked an acquaintance to order two low-power gasoline generators and two high-power gasoline generators, two high-power diesel generators, 2 square meters of solar photovoltaic panels and related supporting parts, 2 large storage batteries and 2 small batteries. The large professional batteries can be used outdoors and can even charge cars, while the small professional batteries can be used to charge home appliances or be directly plugged in for use.

When purchasing the generator, we also purchased various additional spare parts, and tried to choose those that are quiet and cost-effective. So many batteries and generators can not only meet the daily electricity needs of the whole family, but the extra electricity can also be stored or sold.

Wang Jie ordered 5 sets of water purification systems, so that the tap water can be used as drinking water after purification, and 5 sets of sewage purification systems, so that daily domestic water can be reused after purification, without wasting any water resources.

I also asked a friend who is an executive at an oil company to purchase 20 tons of gasoline and 20 tons of diesel. More than that was impossible to get, and if I wanted to stockpile gasoline and diesel, I could only drive the company's truck more often in the next few days to refuel repeatedly, and then pump out the oil from the tank and store it separately.

So starting tomorrow, he will go out to run for gas at night. He has already planned the route. The road from the community to Dongling University is the most densely populated with gas stations of all sizes. A total of 20 gas stations can be encountered in a round trip of 22 kilometers. After driving around every night, they can save RMB 3000 in gas. The family car usually spends about RMB in gas per month, which is enough for them to run. Generators also use a lot of oil. Oil is a priceless treasure that cannot be bought even with money in the later period.

There were too many things, big and small, that not only needed to be sorted and organized, but also needed to be easily placed in space. Wang Jie contacted the carton factory he often cooperated with and directly got a batch of idle cartons. Because there was no need to print a LOGO, they were just simple blank boxes. 2000 boxes and partitions were finalized on the same day and could be delivered the next morning.

We also need to purchase a batch of motorcycles and electric vehicles. As the road conditions in the countryside are complicated, many people ride motorcycles, and it is also convenient for going out. We also need to buy some bicycles, so that they can be used as a means of transportation in case they run out of power or oil.

There are really a lot of things to buy. I also need to prepare some snow removal tool sets. It is really inconvenient to travel in the first year due to the extreme cold. In the second year, the extreme cold will turn into extreme heat, so I need to prepare protective clothing. There are countless kinds of mosquitoes. I also need to prepare ice makers, cooling fans, drinking water, daily water, sunscreen spray, sunscreen clothes, and heat-relief medicine. It is really easy to get heatstroke in high temperature weather. It seems that there are really a lot of things to buy when it is extremely hot.

Su Yun listened to her husband's plan, sorted out the details after the natural disaster, and picked out useful information from her vague memories.

The conclusion is that they also need to prepare assault boats, life jackets, lifebuoys and various epidemic prevention supplies.

Because the floods bring with them many very powerful bacteria and viruses, we must do a good job in epidemic prevention and control. Once infected with the virus, at the very least, the disease will develop and you will often suffer from difficulty breathing, dizziness, and loss of taste. At the worst, you will develop lung lesions and infections, and die of respiratory failure within 3 months. They are in great pain when they die, and their faces turn black, as if they died of lack of oxygen.

Therefore, masks, protective clothing, disinfectant, thermometers, and special medicines for clearing away heat and detoxifying are indispensable. To deal with this highly contagious virus, there is no need to stay at home.

Fortunately, among the medicines ordered by Su Yun and his old classmates, there was a special medicine for clearing the lungs and detoxifying. This kind of medicine was almost hard to come by in the later stages. Those with severe infection could turn their condition into mild ones after taking it, and those with mild infection could recover quickly after taking it.

Su Yun still remembers that at a certain period of time people faced serious water shortages, the land was too dry to grow crops, food became less and less, and it was common for many people to fight over a bottle of water. So people who could not take a bath, regardless of gender, age or status, almost all shaved their heads in order to save some water resources.

Therefore, stockpiling water is imperative.

The next day, the whole family slept in. Su Yun got up and made century egg and lean meat porridge, cut some apples, and the family had breakfast.

The news of two Korean stars committing suicide has spread on the Internet. While watching the news, Wang Jie grabbed his coat and went out to the company to deal with the remaining matters. He had to free himself as soon as possible and accompany Su Yun to stock up on goods.

The children still have to go through the procedures for taking a leave of absence from school, and Su Yun has been running around these two days and looks a little tired.

As the man of this family, he should take more responsibility and learn various emergency and disaster relief skills as soon as possible.

In the morning, Su Yun took the children to the warehouse to receive goods. This time, he also put the recliners and blankets at home into the space to make it convenient for the children to take a nap.

There were especially many express deliveries today. Some things arrived one after another in the morning. While waiting for the deliveries, Su Yun placed an order for 1 boxes of children's milk powder for stages 4-120, each box containing 6 cans. He also stocked up on 100 boxes of adult milk powder, children's DHA, calcium supplements, zinc supplements, iron supplements, protein powder, probiotics, vitamin tablets and other nutrients. When natural disasters come, improving the body's immunity will help people survive better.

Su Yun spent more than 50 yuan on milk powder and nutrients, and he thought it was worth it.

Continuing shopping, this time he ordered 90 boxes of high-calorie 500-type compressed biscuits that are easy to store. One box contains two 10-jin iron barrels of compressed biscuits. Su Yun carefully looked at the ingredient list, which is made of wheat, sugar, milk powder and vegetable oil, with very few other messy ingredients. Not only does it have a long shelf life, but the taste is also improved, with peanut and milk flavors. Even if you finish a barrel of biscuits in the future, there is still a lot of room for the remaining iron barrels. The sealing lid on it is very sturdy. The square iron barrel with a length, width and height of 20CM is also equipped with a handle, and can be used as a rice bucket, water bucket, etc. If there is no problem with the sealing, it can float on the water if thrown into the water. People who can't swim can use the iron barrel as a temporary lifebuoy if they fall into the water. The compressed biscuits alone cost 15 yuan.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried. She still remembers that when it was extremely cold and hot in the early days, the relief centers often distributed compressed biscuits. Later, she saved these compressed biscuits that were very filling and exchanged them for other more needed supplies.

Barter has long become a new trading model. People can exchange anything, including discarded hatchets, empty buckets, old cotton-padded clothes, old shoes, a pack of sanitary napkins, a few dried vegetables, etc.

Su Yun remembered that in addition to rice, flour, grain and oil, the most popular items in the base included salt, cloth, seeds and various metals.

Even the scrap metal dug out from the ruins can be taken to the base exchange point to exchange for points, which can be exchanged for daily necessities.

Shaking his head, Su Yun came back to his senses from his memories.

There is still a lot to do and we can't waste time.

Orders for instant noodles of various flavors must also be placed. A phone call was made to a domestic brand of instant noodle factory. Orders included 1000 boxes of braised beef flavor, 1000 boxes of pickled pepper beef flavor, 2000 boxes of non-spicy pork ribs flavor, 2000 boxes of cross-bridge rice noodles, 2000 boxes of hot and sour rice noodles, and 2000 boxes of spicy beef noodles. There were 24 packs in a box, and Su Yun had stockpiled 20 packs of instant noodles alone. Su Yun was very satisfied.

There are also cheap and no extra ingredients of Old Beijing instant noodles, 5000 boxes directly. 20 bags total 15 yuan, the price is quite cost-effective, and the fragrance is also controllable, there are not too many seasoning packets, you can eat it with soaking, you can eat it dry, it is the taste of childhood, speaking of the taste of childhood, you must order Weilong spicy strips, various small gluten orders 100 boxes, and spicy slices 100 boxes, lollipops, chewing gum also ordered more than ten boxes.

I won’t eat canned luncheon meat because it’s expensive and not tasty. I’ll just go home for the New Year and ask my mom to braise the beef and make various meat sauces at home.

After eating, it’s time to buy skin care products. My mother Su and my brother’s wife like to take care of their skin and have stockpiled a lot of facial masks.

It is a must to stock up on frostbite cream, both adults and children need it, so just order 50 boxes.

I stocked up 50 boxes of Vaseline and moisturizing glycerin, 500 bottles of sunscreen, 500 bottles of sunscreen spray, and 100 boxes of Longliqi cream, which are not only affordable but also have very good moisturizing effects. I stocked up 1000 bottles of facial cleanser, lotion, and children's cream, 2000 yuan of soap and perfumed soap, and wholesaled 2000 kilograms of laundry detergent in large barrels for only 4000 yuan. I stocked up on small packages of laundry powder, 3000 bags for only 6000 yuan.

I also ordered 500 bottles of children's bath shampoo. Adults usually use soap instead of shower gel, but I still stocked up 300 bottles of shower gel. I bought 500 bottles of shampoo from several brands, all of which were unscented. Because of the natural disaster, both adults and children had to cut their hair short, and you could hardly see any long hair, so the use of shampoo was greatly reduced. I also bought 50 electric shaving scissors. If one of them breaks down a year, they can be used for 50 years. I also bought 20 pairs of special hair-cutting scissors, 50 combs, and 50 dozen hair bands, which can be used for other things even if they are not used to tie hair.

100 kitchen knives, fruit knives, boning knives, bone chopping machetes, and 100 nail clippers were ordered. Don't underestimate these knives. After the extreme cold, there is no productivity, and many things are almost gone. The nail clippers that we often see look inconspicuous, but they are the most convenient to use when the nails grow long. Without them, you have to use sickles and kitchen knives at home to trim your nails.

Time passed quickly and it was almost lunch time. The dishes ordered from the two restaurants yesterday had been delivered to the door. The proprietress happily put the food away and drove away in the delivery truck.

In the afternoon, milk tea, snacks and cakes were still delivered continuously.

The children read, draw, do homework and watch cartoons in the morning. When they are tired, they take a nap on the recliners. This does not affect Su Yun's crazy shopping at all. The books, school supplies, electronic products, stationery and sports equipment, educational toys, smart satellite positioning watches, 50 tablets, mobile phones and USB flash drives bought online have all arrived.

Su Yun couldn't open all of them for inspection, so he only symbolically sampled a part of them to test. As expected, you get what you pay for. Su Yun was satisfied with both the quality and the content.

These U disks are almost all filled with various learning materials and film and television dramas. Su Yun took out a plastic storage box and then took out labels to mark the categories of these U disks. Some U disks contain elementary school content, some are for junior high school, some are for TV dramas, and there are movies, repairs, planting, etc. There are also 20 blank U disks. Su Yun plans to download some first aid, wilderness survival, maintenance, breeding, and popular science videos and materials.

Those smart satellite phone watches produced by Long Guohua are what Su Yun is most looking forward to. With a high-tech watch, even without the Internet, it can also achieve real-time positioning and make satellite calls. With it, you will be the coolest guy after a natural disaster.

Seeing that it was getting late, I called Su Ma and asked her to go to the workshop below the market to stock up on some freshly squeezed rapeseed oil, melon seed oil, and peanut oil. I should also order them in the name of my own grocery store and take them away together with the prepared meatballs.

Su's mother has been busy looking for raw materials for making bacon and meatballs these days. Now she heard that Su Yun's grocery store wanted to place additional orders. She was very happy to think that she could help her daughter by just spending a little time. She was always decisive and efficient, so she asked the owner of the oil mill that day for 3000 kilograms of rapeseed oil and peanut oil each, all sealed in new oil barrels. The oil mill owner was grinning from ear to ear. He thought that this one order alone would keep him busy until the New Year.

Semi-handmade workshops are popular in small towns. They only provide raw materials and add a little processing fee to process many things, such as moon cakes and cooked food. If there are no raw materials, you can also directly buy the ready-made materials from the boss for processing.

I told my mom to make 500 kilograms of beef shreds, both spicy and original. The beef is fresh from my own family and sent to the food workshop in town for processing. Then I can get clean, hygienic and delicious beef shreds, which tastes better than Sichuan's Dengying beef. The packaging is the simplest vacuum packaging without words, one bag weighs two kilograms. After everything is done, put it in the small room on the first floor of Su's house.

Su Yun was extremely grateful that every year when he returned to his hometown he would not only take the local specialties to the grocery store to sell, but now it was much easier to find excuses to stock up these supplies.

For foodie Su Yun, stocking up on more meat would make her extremely happy.

Last year was particularly strange. Su Yun said that the sauerkraut at home was delicious, so he went to the street to buy dozens of kilograms of soaked sauerkraut, chopped it up, fried it, packed it and took it to Shenzhen, and then froze it in the refrigerator. Whenever he wanted to eat it, he would take it out and stir-fry it with pork belly and bacon to satisfy his craving.

So every Chinese New Year, Su Ma would prepare a lot of local specialties for her daughter and son-in-law.

It's not that Su Yun had never thought about confessing to his parents, but this matter was too unbelievable, and it would be difficult for his conservative parents to accept it, so he had to confess and explain it face to face.

In Su Ma's mind, she would prepare whatever her daughter and son-in-law wanted without any hesitation, never more, never less. Anyway, her own things were much better than those in big cities outside. They were cheap, affordable, clean and hygienic. The things in big cities outside were all high-tech and hard work. She wished her son-in-law would come back with a big truck to load all the New Year's goods.

Su Yun then called his sister-in-law and asked her to make a batch of wine before the New Year, using the excuse that the store had directly ordered 2000 kilograms and that all the labor in the family must be used.

Su Yun was not worried about his sister-in-law's cooking skills and raw materials. His sister-in-law loved to study food. She and Su Xiaogu were the same type of wonderful people. Except for occasional conflicts and quarrels with his brother, she could be regarded as a good wife and mother who was good at both housework and cooking.

Moreover, the town has been planting a large number of grapes in recent years, with Kyoho grapes being the main species. Now is the season when the grapes are ripe. The affordable grapes are large, juicy, and pesticide-free, making them the most suitable for making wine.

Distant relatives of the Su family also planted some fruits on several hills. In the past few years, Su Yun often took the children to pick them when he went back. It was only two yuan per pound, and it was even cheaper to pick them by yourself.

My sister-in-law usually makes 100 kilograms of wine for her family to enjoy during the New Year. I transferred the money for the raw materials to my sister-in-law Zhang Lili, and everything was arranged.

Since it is not the New Year yet and the butcher shop business is not busy yet, we should quickly arrange more things to keep the other members of the Su family busy.

I called Su's father again and asked him to keep the pig's and cow's trotters at home and not sell them during this period. Instead, put them in the freezer. When Su Xiaogu is free, she can take them out and braise them, then seal the marinade in vacuum packaging and make as many as she can.
