Apocalyptic Tundra Age

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon after Xu Zhiping left, and the sun had already set behind the mountain.

It is still the first month of the lunar calendar. Although the temperature has soared to the level of May, the days are still short and the nights are long.

Xu Zhonglei didn't bother to take back the bits and pieces that were drying in the small square. He knew in his heart that it wouldn't rain this year, so he didn't have to worry about getting wet.

He seized the time to pick a lot of cabbage hearts in the vegetable garden, and picked some chrysanthemum chrysanthemums for cosplay with weeds. He planned to continue making instant noodles and cooking vegetables at night.

For instant noodles, if you don’t eat them for a few days, you will think about them very much. If you eat too much in a day, you will get tired.Xu Zhonglei ate two bags of instant noodles and a pot of soup in a tasteless manner, belching so much.

He quickly took a cold shower and decided to add the water heater to his shopping list.

His house was sold for 380 million, and he paid for it and delivered it.Probably the local tyrants bought assets for themselves at will, and the ease with which they gave money was shocking.

Compared with the previous buyer who planned to sell the market price of more than 400 million yuan and only sold it for 380 million yuan, but also prepared to cut it down to 350 million yuan, this local tyrant is simply "loved."

He is a typical kid who passed the exam from the countryside. Although his salary is relatively high, he has no hobby of spending money.I have no desire to collect handicrafts, sneakers, and brand-name watches.The consumption attitude towards clothing is also to buy an expensive piece, and repair and wear it for ten years.In addition to the necessary expenses, he had a lot of money left over.All the saved money was bought into funds in Alipay, which looked like [-] yuan.But there is no need to bring it up now, you can continue to lie down and earn interest.

He has more money and more places to spend it.

He looked at his shopping list. The old house has no electrical appliances, no air conditioner, no fan, and it is really impossible to live.He felt that he had to buy the electrical appliances first, and then install them in the new house.

If you want it now, you can buy part of it online, so Xu Zhonglei, with red eyes, endured a sleepy night in JD.com, and ordered four Haier five-horsepower air conditioners, one to be installed in the worker's board room, and one to be installed in him. The other two in my bedroom will be put in the basement to cool down.The original price of the air conditioner is 8399 per unit, and the membership discount, coupons and full discounts add up to a total of 30416.2 yuan.

Xu Zhonglei bought another Midea fully automatic front-loading washing machine, which cost 2381, and two Haier water heaters, which cost 2099. By the way, he went shopping in Haier stores, and bought two more freezers, a refrigerator, and a TV. , a microwave oven, and an oven. He paid for his order in two installments, and Haier sent a Casarte vacuum cleaner and a water purifier.

After this operation, the wallet lost 5 yuan, and Xu Zhonglei felt refreshed, and the joy of spending money dispelled the hard work during the day.

Xu Zhonglei slept until ten o'clock before going out. He didn't continue to eat instant noodles, but went out hungry and bought a few last leftover buns in the town.

The sugar buns are filled with sesame seeds and sweet-scented osmanthus. The taste is dense and juicy.Chopped peppers were put in the sauerkraut bag, which was salty and slightly spicy, and the mouth was full of fluid. Xu Zhonglei killed both of them, and took another cup of soy milk to drink slowly.

He didn't arrive in the county until lunchtime. Xu Zhonglei found a chain pig's knuckle rice shop, and after a casual meal, he was ready to go shopping.

The largest wholesaler in the county is not a supermarket, but a small grocery store in a proprietary market.

After Xu Zhonglei saw that he asked for twenty bags of rice, five pieces of soy sauce, thirty barrels of arowana peanut oil, ten boxes of dried noodles, two pieces of monosodium glutamate, and two pieces of salt, the boss's eyes did not change at all. He picked up the calculator and calculated After the slap, I understood the truth.

"One piece of rice is 30 catties, one piece is 80 yuan, one piece of soy sauce is 240 yuan, peanut oil is 90 yuan a barrel, dried noodles are 50 yuan a box, monosodium glutamate is 100 yuan a piece, salt is 80 yuan a piece, the total is 6360 yuan. We also have chili powder and five-spice powder here. Vinegar, flour, oyster sauce, curry sauce, bean paste, boss, look at other things, and they will be delivered to your home if you spend [-] yuan."

Xu Zhonglei's cooking is limited to quick-frozen products, instant noodles and dried noodles, so he didn't know that there are so many kinds of seasonings. He picked up the list given by the boss and ticked out all the seasonings that he had a little impression of. After purchasing four pieces, I finally counted it and it cost [-] yuan.

After adding the boss's WeChat, Xu Zhonglei paid a deposit of [-] yuan, made an appointment for delivery, and left the address. Xu Zhonglei happily continued to the next wholesale market.The larger the quantity he asked for, the lower the price the boss would quote, and he had practiced it.

In the daily necessities market, Xu Zhonglei bought 100 paper rolls, 50 boxes of toilet paper, four boxes of dishwashing liquid, one box of Safeguard soap, 10 boxes of shampoo, 20 boxes of shower gel, 10 boxes of toothpaste, and 30 boxes of laundry detergent. , By the way, under the recommendation of the boss, I bought a box of 100 nano-bristle toothbrushes.During this shopping, Xu Zhonglei also gained the boss's WeChat account, but lost his little [-] deposit.

These things, he told the boss that he wanted to open a store and want to arrive early, the boss patted his chest and said that it would be delivered tomorrow morning.

In the hardware wholesale market, Xu Zhonglei bought a complete set of repair tools.Packed together in a thick case, these tools cost more than 500.He also bought six boxes of energy-saving light bulbs, six large coils of wires, fasteners for water pipes, showers and screws of various types, forty stainless steel faucets, and locks of various types.These things are not many, but it also cost more than 5000.

The boss helped him load these things into his car. He checked the time, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Food is not in a hurry, he does not have a cold storage for food storage, and a lot of rice and noodles have a shelf life, it is best to wait until his house is built before buying.

He only needed to solve his food problems for the past two days, so he just went to the supermarket, bought cooking oil, eggs, a small bag of dried noodles, some convenient seasonings, and a bag of rice, and then headed home.

Xu Zhonglei plans to use the second and third floors of his old house as a storage room for the seasonings and daily necessities he just bought. Those things have a long shelf life and do not have so many requirements for storage conditions. Buy some back.

These things do not have high requirements for storage, but at least they cannot be placed directly on the ground. He caught a glimpse of an advertisement on the way here: There are a lot of wood and wood products for sale. Tel: 133XXXXXXXX, go straight ahead for 5KM.

There is an arrow on the wooden sign pointing to a path.

He decided to try his luck.

"Wood boards used to separate the ground? Yes, yes, boss, what specification do you want?" The boss of the timber factory was having dinner, and came to receive the guests with his rice bowl.

Xu Zhonglei swallowed when he smelled the aroma of scallions and eggs, and said, "Let me look at the samples first."

The boss put down his job and took him to the warehouse.

Xu Zhonglei looked at several kinds of wood boards in the warehouse, and picked a board with a size of about 1mX1m without too many traces of splicing and said, "How do you calculate such a price?"

"30 pieces. Boss, you really have a vision. This kind of board is not a composite board, but a solid wood board. It is not hollow in the middle, but made of a whole piece of wood. I am a factory direct seller. You have to go to the market to buy this piece. 40."

Xu Zhonglei knew that there was definitely room for negotiation on this price, so he pretended to be a stingy boss and said with a smile: "I'm just doing wholesale, and I want a lot. If it's at this price, I won't buy it, and I won't be able to make money. "

"I won't talk nonsense when I'm with you, 20 yuan, how much do you want?"

The tone of the boss changed from doing everything possible to cheat money from novices to a serious business talk.

Xu Zhonglei was also straightforward, "Take 1000 yuan first, and you can deliver it!"

"Do you want a board worth 1000 yuan, or a thousand boards? If it's 1000 yuan, I won't give it away."

"A thousand boards, a big deal!"

"Damn! Just be clear. If it's 1000 yuan, you're playing with me. I happen to have a 1000 yuan board. When do you think you want it?"

"Can I do it tomorrow? I'm still in a hurry." Xu Zhonglei thought for a while, and then asked: "Do you have any other nails, triangle iron pieces, etc.? I'm making a wooden frame, and I also need glue."

The boss saw it as a big deal, and he didn't intend to cheat anyone. He said directly: "I have all these things. I use them myself. I'll sell you a little. I don't have many, but it's still good for you to use these 1000 boards." no problem."

During this trip, Xu Zhonglei also got a WeChat ID from his boss and a deposit that shrunk by 5000 yuan.

Originally, he just wanted to buy a hundred or so boards and put them on the ground to prevent moisture from entering his inventory, but seeing a shelf used by the boss for display, he had a better idea—to expand the storage area, it is better to increase the space Utilization rate, if it is made into a wooden shelf, the entire space can be used well. Simply stacking goods is prone to collapse. So tragic.

Xu Zhonglei drove his Wuling Hongguang back home, and there were several boards behind him that he had taken a fancy to at the timber factory, tinkling all the way, Xu Zhonglei was really worried about his light bulb.Energy-saving lamp bulbs cost 15 yuan each, hehe, it’s too expensive!

The house is still the same, a pile of farm tools left by his grandfather are placed on the small square.The black cabinet, with the door still open, exudes a musty smell.When Xu Zhonglei got out of the car, he saw his family's small path from the vegetable garden to the main road.

There is a large pile of hollow bricks like a mountain on the open space, and there is another pile of fine sand not far away. There is a yellow excavator in the place where he plans to build a house. It seems that this big guy came in for himself. A specially opened road.

Xu Zhonglei praised Brother Zhiping vigorously in his heart, he is simply a model of vigorous and resolute!

He went home and cooked egg noodles, ate some snacks, and paralyzed on the bed for a while.So I decided to continue working, and quickly cleaned up the small square.

He first replaced the broken chicken and duck room with energy-saving lamps, 60w, super bright!After cleaning up all kinds of messy woven bags and chicken coops, I moved the things in the small square to the house one by one, put the sofa into the hall, and moved the cabinet to a remote location.

After taking a shower, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a chaotic sleep.
