The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

The next day, after breakfast, Chen Mengyao drove off to stock up on the goods according to the list. She first rented a large warehouse near her apartment and then ordered thousands of takeout meals from various KFCs, McDonald's, milk tea shops, restaurants, Western restaurants, sushi shops, and more. She also ordered thousands of different dishes, soups, and desserts from hotels, bought out all the cakes and bread from cake shops, and even ordered thousands more of various desserts and breads. She also ordered thousands of bowls of sweet soup from dessert shops and thousands of pizzas from pizza shops. After paying the deposit, she left the warehouse address and asked the vendors to deliver the takeout within two days.

Chen Mengyao went to the bookstore and bought all sorts of books: novels of various genres, books on agriculture, military affairs, business management, military strategy, economics, the Three Character Classic, the Four Books and Five Classics, children's picture books, educational books, comics, etc. She bought hundreds of books in both simplified and traditional Chinese characters. She also bought hundreds of sets of calligraphy brushes and inkstones, tens of thousands of sets of various fountain pens, ballpoint pens, pencils, and colored pens, and especially millions of sheets of Xuan paper. After paying the deposit, she still ordered delivery to the warehouse.

After buying the books, she went to the clothing wholesale market and bought all kinds of fabrics, clothes of all sizes for adults and children in all seasons, hundreds of thousands of pieces of underwear, pajamas and nightgowns in all sizes, hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes, and hundreds of thousands of bags. Although she runs a supermarket, it mainly sells daily necessities, with relatively few clothing, shoes and bags.

She also went to the Hanfu wholesale market and bought all kinds of fabrics, hundreds of sets of Hanfu in different sizes and matching jewelry, and millions of yuan worth of gold bars, necklaces, and rings from a gold shop. She also went to the food wholesale market and bought millions of portions of various ingredients for making milk tea and cakes and desserts. She also bought a lot of seasonings. Although she has many seasonings in supermarkets, the wholesale market has a wider variety, and she bought tens of thousands of portions of each kind.

After finishing her shopping list, she continued shopping, buying tens of millions of masks, protective suits, and disinfectant from pharmacies; tens of thousands of agricultural tools and tens of millions of tons of fertilizer from agricultural tool stores; and millions of various labor protection supplies, including safety helmets, protective goggles, masks, gas masks, and protective shoes, from the labor protection wholesale market. She also bought hundreds of thousands of rain gear, including raincoats, rain boots, and waterproof covers; hundreds of thousands of outdoor supplies, including flashlights, military daggers, compasses, hiking boots, trekking poles, tents, sleeping bags, and a large quantity of compressed biscuits, totaling tens of millions; hundreds of solar-powered power banks; dozens of diesel generators; and tens of thousands of pepper spray and stun guns. She bought small, retractable stun guns that could fit in her pocket. She instructed the vendors to deliver all of these to her warehouse within two days. She paid a deposit and left the warehouse address for each item.

After buying these, she returned to her apartment and entered her space to check if the seed warehouse had a wide variety of seeds. If not, she would buy more. Inside, rows of shelves were neatly arranged with all sorts of seeds, each labeled. She carefully examined them and found a vast array of varieties: rice, wheat, sorghum, corn, sprouted potatoes, sweet potato seedlings, and vegetables such as cabbage, chives, bok choy, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, broccoli, bok choy, peas, mustard greens, snow peas, carrots, loofah, bitter melon, okra, pumpkin, yam, water spinach, onions, peppers, bell peppers, celery, zucchini, chayote, and many more—basically, every vegetable she could find in the market. The fruit seeds included durian, mango, apple, banana, plum, pear, loquat, orange, grape, lychee, longan, pomegranate, cherry, dragon fruit, kiwi, pineapple, strawberry, blueberry, watermelon, cantaloupe, and more—essentially every seasonal fruit available in the market. They also visited the medicinal herb warehouse, which displayed a wide variety of Chinese and Western medicines, including everything one could find in a pharmacy. The frozen food warehouse was also inspected, filled with various kinds of meatballs, chicken wings, chicken legs, duck legs, and all kinds of frozen meat—pork, duck, lamb, and beef—as well as frozen wontons, dumplings, and glutinous rice balls. Various kinds of ice cream and popsicles were also available. Chen Mengyao felt reassured.

She also ordered thousands of various snacks online, as well as thousands of different kinds of steamed buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks, noodles, wontons, and dumplings from various shops, and thousands of different kinds of porridge. She also bought hundreds of thousands of self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice dishes, all delivered within the same city. She also thought about buying ancient bronze stoves for hot pot, and ordered tens of thousands of those online. Additionally, she bought tens of thousands of barbecue grills, barbecue racks, and all the necessary barbecue equipment, including bamboo skewers, iron forks, and grill plates.

She thought about it and felt she had bought enough, so she waited for the goods to arrive. Soon after, she received many calls from delivery people, so she went to the warehouse to receive the goods. Once everything was prepared according to her order, she transferred the remaining money. She spent almost the entire day receiving deliveries, so she simply took some food from her takeout orders for lunch and dinner. It wasn't until 10 PM that there were no more deliveries, and she finally dragged her tired body home to shower and go to bed.

For three consecutive days, she received goods until she was certain they had all arrived. Then, with a wave of her hand, she mentally placed them all into the refrigerated warehouse. Inside, she found an automatic sorting function; everything was neatly arranged according to its type and labeled. She thought, "This space is so thoughtful! It saves me so much trouble." So, she communicated with Xiaobai using her mind: "Xiaobai, this space is truly amazing and so considerate! The things I receive save me so much trouble." Xiaobai proudly replied, "Of course! There will be even more features in the future. Keep working hard to earn points and upgrade your space!"

As she was talking, she suddenly remembered she hadn't bought any furniture yet. She quickly went back to her apartment and found a furniture store in her city online. She bought thousands of beds of different styles, sofas, tables, chairs, coffee tables, dining tables, tens of thousands of mattresses, duvet covers, pillows, mosquito nets, and clothes racks. She also bought dozens of massage chairs. Thinking about it, she also bought several hundred pieces of exercise equipment, and thousands of various musical instruments including pianos, electronic keyboards, guitars, harmonicas, etc., along with some study books—in ancient times, without internet, these were the only ways to pass the time. She also bought hundreds of thousands of balls and jump ropes. She also bought millions of sets of various board games and games for entertainment, dozens of electric mahjong tables, and thousands of regular mahjong tables. She paid extra for expedited delivery within two days, as she only had four days left before her time travel.

After thinking it over carefully and reviewing it repeatedly, I felt that I hadn't missed anything. Anyway, I could just redeem anything I needed with points in the future, and the store had a wide variety of products. Only after thinking this through did I feel at ease enough to take a shower and go to bed.
