The real estate agency nearby hosts the largest farrs' market around, and her supernatural space, though modest with only ten acres of land and a pond, has remarkable properties: Items don't rot and plants grow at double the speed, while the pond provides an endless water supply.
Shen ng first purchased various types of grain seeds: wheat, rice, sorghum, corn...
Then she bought beans, tomatoes, eggplants, chili peppers, cabbage, radishes, and other types of vegetable seeds, clearing out the store's stock.
Next, Shen ng headed to a grain and oil shop.
Rice, soybeans, black beans, sesa seeds, sorghum, corn, chestnut grains... she bought a hundred bags of each. Peanut oil, soybean oil, sesa oil, walnut oil, olive oil... she got fifty barrels of each. Even red dates, spices, chili peppers, various dried goods, and sauces she didn't skimp on!
The shop owner, seeing such a generous custor for the first ti, wrote pages of the invoice; the calculator nearly broke down, accounting for goods worth over a hundred thousand! A month's sales completed in half a day! The happy owner threw in so extra rice bags and even arranged a free delivery later in the day.
After that, Shen ng, following the sa thod, ordered three hundred catties of each type of vegetable.
While ordering, she hesitated briefly, considering the ample space she had and that the vegetable seeds could be regenerated. Having fewer vegetables wouldn't matter much; the main thing was to buy more at later.
The products she ordered were all set to be delivered by the following afternoon; she checked the ti, grabbed a al at a restaurant, then drove two hours on the highway to the nearest small town.
Here, not only is the at fresh, but also just slaughtered; there are cattle farms, chicken farms, and pig farms, along with plenty of orchards.
When Shen ng arrived in the town, it happened to be a busy market day, buzzing with activity—miscellaneous dishes, snacks, confectionery, vegetables, fruits, clothes, small stalls, and even shops specializing in quilts and quilt-covers, and general hardware.
She visited the seven pharmacies and five maternity stores on the street, buying anything of good quality she ca across.
The vendors, being honest and simple folk, seeing her as a frail young woman, would carry her purchases to her car trunk without hesitation.
Shen ng would hurriedly stash the goods into her supernatural space after the vendors left.
For goods that couldn't be retrieved on the spot, she had them sent the following day and specifically sought out shops that sold cast iron stoves for outdoor use.
She shopped around the breeding farms, saying she needed it for a family event, and bought up all the animals slaughtered that day. The farm owners were generous, not only giving her the processed offal but helping clean them too.
Shen ng didn't neglect the various orchards either, purchasing seedlings wherever she could, emphasizing the importance of supplenting vitamins, and had them all delivered the next day.
Just as she was about to leave, she spotted a bun shop and bought several types, finding them quite delicious, and they offered a variety including large at buns, small vegetable buns, beef buns, soup dumplings, Shuijianbao, vegetable boxes, and various other items like noodles, rice lines, hot and spicy soup, red bean porridge, pumpkin porridge, and more.
Since the shop wasn't crowded, Shen ng had the shop prepare a massive order; she preferred to take ready-cooked food imdiately rather than pre-order, as paying upfront and possibly not getting the food later could be infuriating.
Lastly, as dusk fell, Shen ng raided the pharmacies, haunted by a dream she had, deeply disturbed by the thought of being in such dire conditions that even drinking water could pose hazards, she bought every possible dicine before returning ho.
She reached ho past nine at night, utterly exhausted, and fell into bed without even showering, sleeping straight through to morning.
Shen ng felt slightly disoriented, not having dread the previous night, occasionally dreading that perhaps, the misfortune in her dreams might not be intended for her!
If so, had she wasted her 1.7 million?
But destiny gave her no ti for doubts.
Upon waking, Shen ng's phone was incessantly ringing, either for deliveries of clothes and quilts, various ats, or rice, flour, grains, and fruits and vegetables.
Trucks arrived one after another, unloading goods to her temporarily rented garage—after each delivery, she would store everything in her supernatural space and repeat this several tis.
Fortuitously, since most occupants in her complex were speculative buyers resulting in a low occupancy rate, her extensive purchases drew little attention. One afternoon, she only encountered a couple walking their dog near the garage.
After a day of satisfying shopping, Shen ng was rudely awakened in the middle of the night by a distressing dream.
The dream deeply pained her—the man holding a green coat she had worn before, jumping into the river where she had fallen; during the frigid winter, by the ti he was found, he was frozen stiff.
Once her heart cald sowhat, Shen ng touched her face, realizing it was damp with tears.
Stunned for a mont, despite her unwillingness, she had to admit that this family's fate was too tragic, and even more heartbreakingly, she needed to continue spending money to stockpile supplies.
The next day, without pausing, Shen ng bought a plane ticket directly to a small commodities market, purchasing everything she could find including hairbands, costics, old-style porcelain basins, enal jars, traditional mirrors, hot water bottles, retro clothes, shoes, hats, padded jackets, yarn, needles, sweaters, sock shoes, bicycles, TVs, refrigerators, nostalgic toys, stickers, and books.
She had planned to stay a few more days, but suddenly received a call from the real estate agent, informing her that an elderly couple was interested in buying her house.
Hearing this, Shen ng imdiately canceled her extended stay and flew back promptly, as this matter couldn't be delayed.
The elderly couple, being decent people, didn't drive a hard bargain with her, a young woman on her own. After negotiations, they prepared the contract, processed the transfer, and completed the paynt.
After transferring the house, Shen ng's ti was consud either by receiving deliveries or heading out to receive them. Recently, a trend for dostic products had swept the internet, and she went on a shopping spree live online, buying loads of affordable, high-quality goods that also ca with many freebies.
Strangely enough, during this hectic period of stockpiling, Shen ng found herself sleeping very soundly.
