NOVEL NEXT Chapter 6 The end of the world is coming
The day after returning to China, Mu Jiu went out again.
Because Beibei's housekeeper said that it is quite useful in traditional Chinese medicine, and the space also needs to store some seeds of traditional Chinese medicine in case of emergency.
Although she has stocked up on a lot of basic medicines in large supermarkets abroad, who would think there are too few supplies!
So Mu Jiu rushed to the medicinal material market non-stop to wholesale medicinal seeds.
Last night, Beibei dictated eight pages of Chinese medicine seeds to Mu Jiu, and it only wanted seeds, not finished medicinal materials.
It despises the finished traditional Chinese medicines sold outside. Their efficacy is too poor and they are all just deceiving people. They cannot cure diseases and cannot kill people.
It simply ruins the reputation of those traditional Chinese medicines, so they have to grow it themselves to maximize the effectiveness of the medicine.
In order to deceive others, Mu Jiu spent 200 yuan to rent a large private warehouse not far from the traditional Chinese medicine market.
The Chinese medicine seeds bought in this way can be sent directly to the warehouse. When they are finished buying them later, she will put them into the space together.
Schisandra chinensis, gardenia, burdock, ligustrum lucidum, golden cherry, soapberry, dodder, white mustard seed, cocklebur seed, etc.
Nearly 200 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, a total of about 10 tons, cost a total of 195 million, and Mu Jiu still had 60 left.
With sufficient supplies purchased from abroad for zero dollars, Mu Jiu didn't have much desire to shop, not to mention she didn't have a few dollars on hand to spend.
After thinking about it carefully, she decided to spend all the remaining money on ordering takeout!
Just deliver it to the warehouse to maximize the value of the warehouse.
Just as she was told, Mu Jiu ordered almost all the takeaways in Nancheng that seemed to be slightly appetizing.
The barbecue restaurant requires 2000 servings each of beef skewers, mutton skewers, pork belly, chicken wings, gluten, potatoes, ham sausages, enoki mushrooms, giant squid, etc.
The crayfish shop offers 200 portions each of braised prawns, crispy crayfish, garlic prawns, steamed prawns and whole-flavored prawn balls.
Fast food restaurants, fried chicken wings, chicken wraps, burgers, Colonel's chicken nuggets, French fries, cheese pizza, chicken feet, chicken feet, duck necks, etc., each require 2000 servings.
The dessert shop offers 1000 portions each of cream cake, durian mille-feuille, original milk clams, tiramisu, poplar nectar, taro paste mochi, fruit ice powder, coconut milk sago, etc.
The beverage shop sells raw coconut latte, iced Americano, cappuccino, lemon tea, pearl milk tea, fruit tea, etc., each of which requires 2000 servings.
At this point, the money in Mu Jiu's hands was basically gone, leaving only the taxi fare back to the villa.
Mu Jiu put all the Chinese medicines in the warehouse into the space. After about two hours, her takeaway orders began to arrive one after another.
Come and collect one by one. Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Jiu finished collecting the last takeaway.
On the way back to the hot spring villa by taxi, the taxi driver suddenly said loudly:
“It’s snowing in the dog days of summer in this great south!”
Mu Jiu heard the sound and went out, only to see small snowflakes as big as sesame seeds falling outside the car window, which melted before they even touched the ground.
She remembered that her last life also started with such a light snow in the dog days of summer.
But today is only July 7th, and the apocalypse has arrived early!
Mu Jiu originally planned to follow the driver's words and remind him to prepare some supplies to deal with extreme weather:
"Such unusual weather..."
But just as Mu Jiu spoke, he was interrupted by the driver.
"Hey, little girl, it's just a little snow. It's nothing unusual. You've never seen hail in the summer!"
Let me tell you, last summer, I sent people to Ningcheng.
I encountered hail as big as a fist on the road, so big as a fist!
It fell directly and hit someone else's window glass, making a big hole!
Fortunately, I was smart and quickly turned the car into the underground parking lot next to it, thus avoiding the loss!
At that time, many cars were smashed to the ground in that area, and many of them were directly scrapped!
Brother, I have seen the big world. Do you think this little snow can kill someone? Hahaha! "
After hearing what the driver said, Mu Jiu laughed twice and shut up.
She didn't bother to persuade him. As the saying goes, the Buddha does not save those who are not destined.
Judging from the way the driver had seen the world, she probably thought the world was coming to an end and he could immediately tell her a story about Ultraman fighting monsters and saving people.
Perhaps it was because of the hail story that the driver brother started talking, and he asked curiously:
"Little girl, we usually only go to the hot spring villa in winter, why do you go there in the dog days of summer?
I heard that in the hot spring, if you go to the hot spring with temperatures below zero in winter, you will feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Can your body handle the 40-degree hot spring bath? "
Mu Jiuhun said nonsense nonchalantly:
"Well, fortunately, the doctor said that my bipolar disorder is more serious and my mood fluctuates greatly.
Staying in the noisy environment of the city is not suitable for recovery. You need to find a place with a beautiful environment to rest for a while.
And when I have a depression, I tend to feel cold all over my body. The doctor suggested taking more bubble baths, so I moved here.
Stayed for a while and it was pretty good. "
When Mu Jiu finished speaking, the car was quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the driver's brother swallowing dryly.
It took me a long time to squeeze out two sentences:
"Oh, you're sick. You should take good care of yourself! Then do you think the air conditioner in the car is cold? I-I'll turn it up a little for you!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After that, the driver brother no longer dared to continue chatting casually with Mu Jiu.
I'm afraid that if I say something wrong and make her crazy, that will be serious!
Mu Jiu was also happy to be quiet. She looked at the buildings and scenery passing by. This was probably the last time she saw the bustling city.
The first thing Mu Jiu did when she returned to the villa was to turn on the heating in the whole house.
It would take some time for the temperature in the room to rise, so she prepared first.
In the last life, on the night it snowed, the temperature dropped sharply, from a high temperature of 40 degrees to 0 degrees, a temperature difference of 40 degrees.
Overnight, countless elderly people with poor health and weak immunity were taken away.
And for a long time to come, the temperature will continue to drop, giving humans no chance at all.
It was still early, so Mu Jiu went to the backyard first. She bought ten chickens and ducks from Meiliguo Farm for zero yuan and placed them in the designed nest.
The backyard is about 30 square meters, covered with turf, and has a special-shaped shallow pool in the corner.
The pool is filled with hot spring water from the mountain. After filtration, it can not only be used for livestock to drink, but also for ducks to play with.
The yard is fully enclosed with glass, and Mu Jiu also has a separate fireplace for the livestock to keep warm.
All enclosed spaces have circulation ventilation systems, so there is no problem at all in the yard for drinking tea and barbecue.
They were originally intended to be kept for laying eggs or eating meat, but now these little animals have become Mu Jiu's friends to pass the time in his long apocalyptic life.
After all, before going abroad, she didn't know that there would be a farm in space, and it would have its own administrator, so the owner wouldn't have to worry about it.
She sprinkled a small amount of corn, vegetables, wheat, rice and other grains on the lawn and watched the chickens and ducks peck at them.
The light snow falls little by little, forming a beautiful landscape with the clear water and green mountains outside the glass.
Mu Jiuyi suddenly became interested, and she moved out outdoor folding tables and chairs, induction cookers, shabu-shabu and other items from the space.
We decided to have hot pot in the yard for dinner and enjoy the snow scenery!
Hot pot base ingredients and other ingredients are already prepared when you buy them abroad for zero yuan.
It must be said that China’s eating culture has strong penetration. Even in large supermarkets abroad, you can find hot pot base ingredients and various cooking seasonings.
The quantity of these things is enough for Mu Jiu to eat for the rest of his life.
As for the ingredients that go into the hot pot, such as mutton rolls, beef rolls, shrimp rolls, diphtheria, beef louvers, etc., they are cut and cooked by Beibei Butler.
Abalone, oysters, scallops, grouper, cuttlefish, salmon, crabs, prawns, white clams, etc. are all caught freshly from the big pond on the farm by Butler Beibei.
The base is Sichuan spicy, so spicy that Mu Jiu is sweating profusely.
He quickly took out a bottle of ice-cold Coke from the space and drank it in two big gulps. It was so satisfying!
If he hadn't remembered that the end of the world had begun, Mu Jiu would have almost thought that he was just here for a vacation.
Mu Jiu looked up at the thermometer hanging on the wall of the yard. It was only nine o'clock in the evening, and the temperature had already dropped to 5 degrees.
For the south, winter has arrived in just one second.
