Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

As Jiang Li entered the wholesale market, she was greeted by a dazzling array of seasonings and mountains of rice and flour.

This made Jiang Li's eyes light up, and she wished she could take the whole wholesale business for herself.

Jiang Li first went to a rice shop and said, "Boss, give me 1000 bags of rice in 50kg packages, and 100 jin each of other types of rice such as glutinous rice and brown rice."

Rice is her staple food, and Jiang Li has stockpiled enough for a hundred years. Other types of rice are mainly for flavoring, such as glutinous rice, which is suitable for making various sweets. Mango sticky rice and eight-treasure porridge are her favorites.

The rice shop owner looked at the young Jiang Li with disbelief in his eyes, thinking she was joking.

"Little sister, are you kidding me?"

Jiang Li said bluntly, "I'm not joking, just tell me the price."

The shop owner looked Jiang Li up and down and said sincerely, "Since you're buying so much merchandise, I can give you a friendly price of 500,000."

Jiang Li didn't hesitate and took out her bank card. "I'll pay a deposit of 200,000 yuan first. Can you deliver the goods to me later?"

The boss replied decisively, "No problem. Are you planning to open a shop, beautiful lady? Come again if you need anything next time."

Jiang Li nodded and said that her family was preparing to open a shop and she had come to stock up on goods.

"Deliver it to the warehouse. Here's the warehouse address. Deliver it at 7 PM." Jiang Li swiped her bank card, transferred 200,000 yuan into the boss's account, and then arranged a delivery time with the boss.

The boss was all smiles when he saw the 200,000 yuan in income, and immediately wrote down the warehouse address and delivery time.

After finishing her transaction, Jiang Li immediately went to the neighboring noodle shop and ordered 300 jin each of high-gluten, medium-gluten, and low-gluten flour, along with 100 jin of other types of flour, making sure she didn't miss out on anything.

Flour can be used not only to make noodles, but also to make various pastries and cakes, making it another staple food besides rice.

After buying the rice and flour, the next step is to buy oil and various seasonings.

Jiang Li walked 500 meters before she saw a shop selling seasonings.

"Boss, give me 1000 5-liter barrels of cooking oil, 500 bags of salt, 500 catties each of rock sugar, white sugar, and brown sugar, and 100 bags each of barbecue seasoning and marinade."

The condiment shop owner, seeing that this was a big business opportunity, immediately came forward and took notes on Jiang Li's needs.

"Knowing you're buying in bulk, I'd think you're hoarding goods for the end of the world! Isn't this kind of thing really popular online these days?"

Listening to the seasoning shop owner's teasing words, Jiang Li smiled without saying a word. After all, who could have imagined that the apocalypse would really come a month later?

After leaving the condiment shop, Jiang Li went into a shop that sold all kinds of beans.

One hundred catties were ordered for various kinds of beans, including mung beans, red beans, soybeans, black beans, Job's tears, and adzuki beans.

After all, mung bean soup in summer and red bean soup in winter are seasonal delicacies.

After buying the usual supplies, Jiang Li intended to leave, but unexpectedly saw a dry goods shop not far away next door.

Jiang Li immediately changed his route and went into the dried goods store.

"Fifty bags of dried bean curd sticks, thirty bags of wood ear mushrooms, one hundred packs of sausages, fifty bags of cured pork, and fifty hams..."

Jiang Li pointed to the displayed goods, telling the shop owner the quantity she needed for each one.

The shop owner noted down what Jiang Li needed, then suddenly remembered something and said to her, "Would you like to try some dried mushrooms? We have shiitake mushrooms, chanterelle mushrooms, dried matsutake mushrooms, morel mushrooms, and more. They're delicious stir-fried or used in soups."

"These were all picked from Y Province and will be dried soon. Although they are not as delicious as fresh mushrooms, they still have a unique flavor."

Hearing the shop owner's praise, Jiang Li thought of the mushroom dishes she had seen online and suddenly felt a strong urge to try them.

"Then give me fifty bags of each."

The shop owner beamed with joy, quickly calculated the bill for Jiang Li, and began preparing the goods for her.

By the time Jiang Li left the condiment wholesale market, she had already spent nearly four million yuan.

Without stopping, Jiang Li rushed to the nearby food market.

The food market is two stories high, and it's bustling with people. There are three or four people stopping to ask questions in front of each shop.

To exaggerate a bit, this place covers almost all types of food, supplying not only stores and convenience stores throughout the province, but also people from other provinces who have to come here specifically to pick up their goods.

Various candies, biscuits, chocolates, dried fruits, and dried nuts are densely displayed in front of the shop, in bulk and in bags, from different brands—it's enough to dazzle anyone.

Jiang Li went to the candy shop and bought candies of all flavors, including ten pounds each of soft candies and hard candies, since these were a luxury in the apocalypse.

Next, we went to a specialty chocolate shop, where everything from inexpensive gold coin chocolates to expensive imported chocolates was on display, with various prices and flavors. You could say that if you wanted it, you could find it here.

However, Jiang Li doesn't particularly like chocolate, and she only bought these to prepare for a quick energy boost when she gets hungry later.

The cookie shop is arguably the only one here that can rival the candy shop.

Jiang Li saw many flavors and brands she had never seen before, so she took a hundred kilograms of cookies of various kinds.

Shops selling dried fruits and nuts offer a unique aroma that blends the oily fragrance of nuts with the sweet scent of dried fruits, subtly enticing customers.

Pistachios, macadamia nuts, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews...

Dried plums, dried mulberries, dried mangoes, dried plums, hawthorns, cranberries...

Jiang Li bought them all without hesitation.

After visiting two different places to buy supplies, Jiang Li stepped out of the food market when only a sliver of the sun's afterglow remained in the sky.

I checked the time, and it was almost seven o'clock, which was the delivery time I had scheduled with each of the business owners.

Jiang Li rode her electric scooter to the warehouse.

She hasn't seen the warehouse in person yet; she only watched the video footage this morning.

Jiang Li used the key to open the warehouse door and found it empty inside, with a wall dividing it in two.

Just then, the deliveryman knocked on the door.

Jiang Li opened the door and let the delivery workers bring the goods in.

Watching the workers unload goods from the trucks into the warehouse, Jiang Li rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

Before this batch of goods has even finished unloading, the next batch is already on its way.

It seems I should hire someone to guard the warehouse entrance, since I don't have much time to wait here for the goods to be delivered.

"The goods have been delivered. Please check the packing slip." Several leaders handed the packing slip to Jiang Li.

The workers had already unloaded the goods. Jiang Li quickly checked them and, finding no errors, settled the final payment without hesitation.

Jiang Li looked at the warehouse full of supplies, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

After all the workers had left, Jiang Li closed the door and, in her own private space, happily hummed a little tune as she put everything into her spatial storage.

Jiang Li explored the space and discovered that items placed inside would stop the passage of time. This means there's no need to worry about supplies getting moldy or expired.

After leaving the warehouse, Jiang Li went to the security room to ask if anyone wanted to work as a warehouse manager.

The security guard immediately recommended someone to Jiang Li, saying that although he couldn't speak, he was honest and hardworking, and his salary was relatively cheaper.

Being unable to speak might be a disadvantage for other bosses, but it's an advantage for Jiang Li, since it means her information is less likely to be leaked.

Jiang Li told the security guard to have him come over tomorrow so she could assess him and he could start working immediately if he was suitable.

The job involved opening the doors for the delivery trucks during the day, and Jiang Li would come over at night to check the goods.

By the time Jiang Li finished her work and returned home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

On her way back, Jiang Li packed a serving of Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles and couldn't wait to open the takeout box as soon as she got home.

The noodles were smooth and the broth was rich and flavorful. The chicken was tender yet chewy. Jiang Li's forehead was covered in a light sweat as she ate, but she couldn't bear to stop eating.

Jiang Li, having finished her meal, slumped on the sofa, her eyes glazed over. Mo Ge was coming back tomorrow; how should she bring it up with him?

Until she went to bed, Jiang Li still couldn't come up with a perfect way to explain things to Ye Jingmo.
