My Courtyard Refuge

Stockpile

As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts around!

Inspired by money, the renovation project of the courtyard was officially completed in less than a week.

Xu Dong asked a professional in the industry to come over to check and accept, and the result was not bad, as expected, you get what you pay for.

In the other’s own words:

“If it is well maintained, it can be used for a hundred years without any problem.”

Xu Dong spent a total of about 3.56 million yuan on this renovation.

If we add the 100 million yuan for the purchase of the courtyard house and the miscellaneous loans repaid before, Xu Dong still has almost 60 million yuan left.

Among the 60 million yuan, most of it will be used to hoard various supplies.

Xu Dong first chose to hoard food, including staple food and non-staple food.

According to previous life experience, after the solar flare ends, the whole world will soon usher in an unprecedented drought with no end in sight.

At that time, food will become the strategic material of every country after fresh water resources.

Even from a certain point of view, food is more important than fresh water resources.

Because as long as the ocean has not completely dried up, fresh water resources will continue to flow, and it is nothing more than a matter of cost.

But food is grown, there are too many unexpected factors, and no one can guarantee the output.In order to facilitate the purchase, Xu Dong deliberately took over a small supermarket that was about to close down through an intermediary, and used it as a cover.

After all, some purchases require specific qualifications and channels, and ordinary people simply cannot intervene.

Everything is ready!

Xu Dong quickly placed his first order with the supplier, 30 tons of dehydrated rice with shells.

Among them, Northeast rice and Simiao rice are half each, and deoxidizer is required to be added, and then sealed and packaged.

The reason for such strict requirements is to extend the shelf life of rice. In theory, as long as it is stored properly, the shelf life can be as long as 30 to 40 years.

In order to attract suppliers, Xu Dong had to increase the purchase price of rice by 20%, so that the sellers were willing to accept the order.

After all, 30 tons of rice is a lot, enough to feed a family of ten for thirty years;

But to say the least, some big manufacturers are not willing to change the production line for this, because the quantity is too small, the loss outweighs the gain.

Only some small manufacturers will be willing to try, provided that they have to pay more.

After placing an order for rice, Xu Dong immediately placed another order for 10 tons of wheat, with the same requirements, and sealed with a deoxidizer after drying.

Although Wanzhou belongs to the transitional area between the north and the south, Luyang is definitely a southern city. The staple food of the common people is rice, and Xu Dong’s family is no exception.

Wheat is only used for breakfast, or to adjust your appetite. Of course, dumplings are definitely the best choice.

After placing these two orders and agreeing on the delivery time, Xu Dong did not continue to place the order.

He has been in Yanjing for a “business trip” for a week, and he is a little homesick, especially the children.

And I really need to go back and show my face, so as not to worry my family.

Happy times are always short…

Five days passed quickly, and Xu Dong returned to Yanjing again, because the rice and wheat were about to arrive.

At eleven o’clock in the evening, Xu Dong received a call from the logistics company, and the delivery team finally arrived.

Right next to the courtyard, there was a square of more than 500 square meters. Under Xu Dong’s guidance, three large trucks parked neatly on the square.

After completing the handover procedures, Xu Dong called the porters to start unloading.

Porters are part-time jobs that I found online in advance. There are a total of 20 people, and they are charged by the hour. Because it is heavy physical work, each person costs 70 yuan per hour.

Two hours later, all 30 tons of rice were transported back to the courtyard of the courtyard. Fortunately, three electric forklifts were purchased in advance, otherwise the work would not be finished until dawn.

Early the next morning, 10 tons of wheat also arrived. This time, four pickup trucks arrived. Xu Dong directly asked the driver to park the truck in front of the gate.

It didn’t take much time this time, ten people finished the work in less than an hour. Xu Dong saw that everyone was working quickly, and in the end each person directly sent one hundred yuan.

In order to keep it secret, in the next week, Xu Dong used the spirit of ants to move, and moved a total of 40 tons of staple food into the second floor of the basement.

The temperature of the negative second floor is lower than that of the negative first floor, so it is more suitable for storing grain.

Don’t look at the 40 tons of goods that look like a lot, but in fact they only take up about one-fifth of the shelves.

The entire warehouse still needs more goods to be filled, and Xu Dong is full of expectations for this.

…

After stockpiling the staple food, next is various miscellaneous grains, including corn.

For many southerners, corn is also a miscellaneous grain, and it is rarely used as a staple food in daily life.

This time Xu Dong didn’t look for a supplier again, but placed an order directly on the shopping website. After all, the amount needed is not as exaggerated as the staple food.

Among them, soybeans are the most purchased, with a total of 2 tons. These soybeans are mainly used to grind soybean milk and make tofu, and adults and children like to eat them.

Followed by millet, barley, oats, mung beans, black beans, peas, lotus seeds and corn, Xu Dong bought 1 ton of each, enough for the whole family to eat for many years.

The above-mentioned miscellaneous grains of beans and cereals are very suitable for long-term storage. They also only need to be dried and sealed. Generally, they will not deteriorate after being stored for 30 to 50 years.

In addition, Xu Dongtong purchased 200 kilograms of miscellaneous grains such as sesame, peanuts, barley, chestnuts and other grains that do not have such a long storage period, which is enough to last for several years.

Anyway, after eating it, you can still buy it on the black market.

Even if you can’t buy it, it doesn’t matter. If you can’t eat it, you won’t lose a piece of meat.

When it comes to meat, you don’t have to think about fresh meat, and you can only try your luck on the black market.

Xu Dong plans to buy a batch of bacon and Jinhua ham. If these two foods are stored airtight, they should be able to be stored for several years.

Picking a very famous merchant on the online shopping platform, Xu Dong directly wiped out all the inventory of the merchant, a total of more than 4,000 kilograms.

Because of the large quantity, the merchant gave a 20% discount, but even so, it cost more than 1.5 million.

Not reconciled, Xu Dong searched the Internet and finally let him find a food with meat, and the shelf life is long enough.

This is an emergency food that is very popular across the ocean. It uses freeze-drying technology and has a shelf life of up to 30 years.

Even more amazing is that thisThis kind of emergency food has rich ingredients and can be made into finished dishes. Vegetables, meat and pasta can all be used as raw materials.

Its taste is said to be good. Even in the past few decades, it can still retain most of the taste and nutrients. It is a product specially developed for “survival in the last days”.

However, its price is also very expensive. A package of emergency food weighing about 100 grams costs about 70 yuan in Daxia’s money.

Xu Dong was rich and powerful at this time, so of course he was willing to spend money.

Through an agent, he purchased 100,000 packs of emergency food in one go, including shipping costs, and finally paid a full 7.2 million yuan.

The only trouble is that this batch of goods will not arrive until August. After all, there is still a Pacific Ocean between the two countries.
