Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies Chapter 10 - 10 Authentic Chinese Herbal Medicines

Jiang Yan quickly found the rice noodle shop.

At first glance, the environnt was concerning because, outside of a plump woman who was still busy, the shop was empty at the off-peak hour.

She walked into the shop and looked at the nu, ordering a Huaxi beef rice noodle with extra beef, pickles, and beef tendons.

Just as she sat down, her phone rang, displaying a call from a private banker at XX Bank.

They had called that morning to report unusual transactions on Jiang Yan's bank card.

They said it was unusual, but Jiang Yan had previously spent millions in a single day.

However, her spending back then was typically on cars, houses, jewelry, and designer bags.

Spending primarily at wholesale markets, like she did today, was indeed very incongruent compared to her usual spending habits.

A situation out of the ordinary was a cause for concern, and the bank naturally needed to provide a risk control reminder.

She still took the call.

After confirming that the cardholder was making the purchases, the person on the other end courteously reminded her of a few routine matters before quickly ending the call.

Jiang Yan then realized.

Fortunately, she had only swiped the card for part of the deposit today; she had probably purchased a little over her target but calculated that the deposit ca to just under thirty million.

The limit on her black card was also thirty million.

If she had paid in full, she would have had the money in her account, but the bank would likely have objected to such usage.

Once she had stored her phone away, her beef rice noodle was ready.

Jiang Yan walked over and just as she picked up the bowl, she slled the rich and inviting aroma.

"Wow, that slls amazing!" Jiang Yan unconsciously swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but exclaim.

The plump woman, hearing her exclamation, didn't even look up and said in an unenthusiastic tone,

"There's cilantro, green onion, and chili over there, add them yourself."

Jiang Yan looked over to the condint station and went straight to it, bowl in hand.

She added cilantro, chili, and Sichuan pepper, one spoonful each.

She pulled down her mask and stirred with chopsticks before starting to eat.

The cilantro was vibrant green, the chili was bright red, and the rice noodles were smooth with the beef being springy and tender, all steeped in the flavorful and rich broth that was delightful to savor.

Jiang Yan swiftly finished her al, not leaving a single drop of soup.

Indeed, there were experts hidden among the ordinary folks.

The flavor of this shop was outstanding.

Usually, she would have gone live on a platform to share.

But currently, priorities mattered, and her account had been suspended for a week and, of course, she would not be broadcasting again.

"Boss lady, I want to order 1000 bowls of this beef rice noodle with extra beef and offals, how much will that be?" Jiang Yan put on her mask and stood up.

The plump woman paused her hand wiping with a cloth and said unchanged, "Can't make that order, can't produce it."

"..." Jiang Yan was stunned for a second, then quickly added, "I don't need them today; the day after tomorrow is also fine, and I can pay upfront."

The plump woman looked at her and seeing she was a well-mannered and polite young lady, softened a bit, "Girl, can't make it by the day after tomorrow either, I need to ensure normal operation in the morning, I have many regular custors in the market, can't close for two days."

Jiang Yan, "What about the afternoon?"

"Got to play cards."

"Can't you work overti temporarily?"

"No, girl, life is short, can't earn all the money. In ten more minutes, I will also be closing and leaving." The plump woman leisurely finished speaking and continued wiping her pots and utensils.

It wasn't Jiang Yan's place to comnt on or suggest changes to others' lifestyles.

Eventually, however, the lady was persuaded by Jiang Yan to take her order, only ntioning that she would have to wait a few days until her husband was available to help prepare and deliver it.

Exiting the rice noodle shop, Jiang Yan got into her small truck and headed straight for the neighboring dicinal herb market.

Taking advantage of the lack of people and caras around, she stored all the spices and hot pot ingredients in the "Space."

When she left the dicinal material market, it was nearly six o'clock, and the shops there were almost all closed.

This trip was also very fruitful, but all her bank cards were maxed out.

Indeed, aside from that black card, the daily limits of her remaining savings cards were only five hundred thousand each, all maxed out.

Moreover, her phone was about to be bombarded by calls from custor service managers at various banks.

Luckily, in the market, she had bought everything she needed and could buy.

As she walked through the market, she realized that the sa dicinal materials, but of different qualities and grades, were priced significantly differently.

Similarly, their effects varied greatly, and naturally, she opted for the best grades and qualities.

Gastrodia, Panax notoginseng, Panax notoginseng flowers, Huang Qin, Snow Lotus, Lingzhi, snow clam, Dendrobium, and Western ginseng, she bought two to three hundred kilograms each, spending over five million in total.

Cordyceps were the most expensive; ten kilograms cost her nearly two million.

She planned to use them for cooking chicken soup; just throw a few in, whether they worked or not, they were enough to last her for generations.

The qualities of the ginseng and antler she purchased were relatively high, also ten kilograms each, costing nearly three million.

These two were part of her "strategic" reserves, which Jiang Yan felt she might not need too urgently.

She symbolically spent twenty thousand to buy one kilogram of dry bird's nest, which she could play with by picking its feathers when she had nothing else to do.

However, joking aside, she also bought three thousand ready-to-eat crystal sugar bird's nests, which also cost a pretty penny, instantly taking away another two million.

She purchased standard quantities of other herbs like Xiao Chaihu, Codonopsis, Atractylodes, Root of Isatis indigotica, and Angelica, buying one hundred kilograms of each.

Apart from dry bird's nests, Cordyceps, and Panax notoginseng flowers, the remaining herbs were processed according to traditional Chinese dicine thods by slicing or grinding, then packed in 500g packages.

The market also offered so basic processing of Chinese dicinal slices, and she ordered four thousand doses for treating common ailnts such as colds, fevers, abdominal pain, nstrual disorders, cough, asthma, blood circulation, and blood supplentation.

For Jiang Yan, getting these prescriptions from a traditional Chinese dicine hospital wäre safest, but that was unrealistic for her.

Additionally, she needed to stock up on Western dicines and dical equipnt, but considering the ti, that would have to wait for another day.

Considering the quantities she needed to stockpile, she would likely need to utilize so special channels again.

After paying the deposit and leaving her warehouse address and the rchant's corporate paynt account, Jiang Yan left the dicinal herb market, driving the small truck back ho with a "vroom vroom vroom".

Firstly, she had no more money to use, and secondly, she was sowhat tired.

Although her body had been enhanced by the "Space" for only a day or two, spending the whole day walking, buying, and talking, it was inevitable to feel worn out.

After coming ho and taking a hot shower and drying her hair, she imdiately entered the "Space".

The plethora of items she had thrown in earlier were neatly arranged in the gray "Warehouse Area".

Thankfully, the supplies could be accessed and moved to the desired locations with just a thought, like magic.

Jiang Yan spent half the day organizing the shelves.

She planned to place commonly used items on these shelves once all the supplies were purchased, and she intended to stay at ho.

This would make it much more convenient to take what she needed on the fly.

After all, there are always tis when the brain just doesn't suffice.
