Chapter 5

Gu Chang'an calculated how much rice and flour were in the warehouse now.

All the rice added up to 2900 catties, and there were 900 catties of flour.

She and Old Six should have enough staple food for the next three years. If it's not enough, there are still 500 barrels of instant noodles, which can last for nearly three months.

There are 25 boxes of various breakfast bread, each box weighing 20 catties, which can also be eaten for a while.

In the cold storage, there are about 1200 catties of various meats, 1000 catties of fish and shrimp, and over 2000 hairy crabs, some of which were stored before the apocalypse,

Thinking about not going out in the winter, it's better to be prepared, and some of them were purchased from distant places.

There are 20 boxes of well salt, 10 boxes of iodized salt, and 10 boxes of sea salt, with 50 packs in each box, totaling 2000 catties.

There are 200 bottles of soy sauce, 100 bottles of white vinegar, 100 bottles of aged vinegar, and 120 large packs of chicken essence.

There are 60 barrels of 10 catties of peanut oil, 80 catties of olive oil, and 200 catties of rapeseed oil.

Cinnamon, star anise, Sichuan peppercorn, tangerine peel, white sesame, and various spices, she didn't know how many there were, but they were all packed in two large boxes.

In the two double-door refrigerators, the freezer is filled with dumplings and tangyuan.

The fresh-keeping area is filled with fruits and vegetables, and spicy strips are also indispensable.

Gu Chang'an sat on the cart, closed her eyes, and entered the space with her divine sense to check the supplies in the refrigerator.

Unfortunately, there are no snacks. She didn't really like to eat them before, but now that she can't eat them, she misses them.

Oh, why is there still a bag of loose rice in the refrigerator?Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

It might have been bought before the apocalypse, weighing about five or six catties.

Not bad, better than nothing.

After checking the supplies, Gu Chang'an felt more at ease and withdrew her divine sense from the space.

"Dad, let's go buy a mule first."

"Okay, there's a mule and horse market in the East Market. Let's go there to buy a mule, and then go to the car dealership to buy a cart."

The East Market is not far away, and they arrived in the time it takes to burn incense. The market had a particularly strong smell, almost driving Gu Chang'an away.

Gu Old Six took out two pieces of cloth, handing one to Gu Chang'an, "Daughter, covering your nose and mouth will help."

Father and daughter covered their faces, and the smell wasn't as overpowering.

The sellers in the market immediately started shouting when they saw someone coming in.

"Guest, buying a donkey? Our donkeys are strong and capable, a good helper for work."

"Hey, guest, come and see, our mules are strong and can handle heavy work."

It was just a carriage frame with bamboo curtains all around, a wooden board covering the top, providing shade and shelter from rain, and privacy from prying eyes, not bad at all.

It was much lighter than those solid wood carriages, but still very sturdy.

The price was relatively cheaper, at 10 taels of silver each, they bought a medium-sized one, just right for them.

The carriage was fitted onto the mule, the two bundles of hay tied to the top of the carriage, Gu Chang'an sat inside the carriage.

Old Six drove the mule cart to West Street, where they bought ten water pouches and a covered water barrel from a grocery store, all for show.

When they all fled together, they couldn't possibly cook inside without a fire, right? They couldn't go to the mountains to find water without everyone else, right?

These were all for carrying water outside, they didn't plan to put the large water jar from their home outside, it was too big and had no place to put it.

Gu Chang'an could sneak water out of the villa with the water barrel and water pouches, the large water jar was not needed.

They didn't buy much, after all, there were only the two of them, and things would be consumed slowly.

They also bought two bundles of waterproof oilcloth, each 30 meters long.

In this world, there was no refined salt or vegetable oil, they had to buy separately, not needing much, she could sneak into the villa to cook.

They bought 5 catties of coarse salt and 5 catties of lard.

They also bought a bundle of coarse hemp rope, one hundred meters long.

In total, everything cost 13 taels, a bit expensive.

The items were placed in the carriage, Gu Chang'an went inside and lowered the carriage curtain, the mule cart left the grocery store, and she stored everything in the living room of the villa.

Gu Chang'an looked at the shoes in the shoe shop and was surprised to find that there were no thousand-layered sole cloth shoes?

The so-called thick sole is just a few extra layers of cloth. If you have the time to add those extra layers, why not spend a little more time making thousand-layered soles?

Despite the criticism, he still had to buy them.

He bought twenty pairs of thick-soled cloth shoes, five pairs of cotton shoes, and two pairs of deer skin boots for Old Six.

Gu Chang'an didn't buy any for himself. The shoes Old Six bought for little Chang'an could be changed every day without repeating for three months.

Old Six spared no expense when it came to his daughter.

He would have been content to just buy for his daughter, even if he had to wear straw shoes himself.

Gu Chang'an rejected this idea. Why buy so many? She was still growing, and her feet would grow too.

As long as they fit well, that's all that matters.

After buying the shoes, the father and daughter went to the clothing store and bought matching cotton clothes and pants.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them as if they were crazy, buying winter clothes in the middle of summer. Their minds must be a little off.
