Aunt Zhang slapped her thigh as soon as she heard what Ling Xue said. She agreed and said to Ling Xue, "That's right! I'm so panicked too. If we want to stock up, we have to do it early, otherwise if everyone starts stockpiling, we won't be able to grab it anymore!"
That’s right. There is no one who can take on the responsibility, including Ling Xue. They are all old, weak and sick.
Ling Xue was relieved to see Aunt Zhang was planning to stockpile goods. She said to Aunt Zhang slowly, "I'm young and don't know much, but I'll listen to you about stockpiling. When you say when to start, that's when we'll start."
When Aunt Zhang heard that Ling Xue trusted her so much, she suddenly felt the burden on her shoulders became heavier.
Finally, the two agreed to go stock up together the next day.
Ling Xue began to calculate the types and quantities of goods to stock up at home. For this purpose, she even searched for information online, fearing that she had missed something!
Prepare the food needed for staple food first!
If the dishes are rich, people will eat less staple food, so Ling Xue still calculated based on the maximum.
Ling Xue didn't know how long she would stay in this world, so she planned to buy 50,000 kilograms of rice. If it was packed at 50 kilograms per bag, that would be 1,000 bags.
Similarly, 50,000 kilograms of flour are needed, and if it is packaged in 50-kilogram bags, that would be another 1,000 bags.
For other grains, you need 100 bags of 50 kilograms each.
Alas, if I buy so much, it will be inconvenient to go shopping with Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang. What a hassle!
Ling Xue thought about it again and felt that it was okay. She could buy a small amount with Aunt Zhang and keep it at home, and then she could go buy the rest by herself.
The first thing to do is to go and take a walk!
The next day, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang got up before five o'clock. They also woke up Ling Xue who was sleeping.
"Are we going so early?" Ling Xue asked with a yawn.
Aunt Zhang was afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so she lowered her voice and said to Ling Xue, "Of course, it's too late because it's hot, and it's already so early!"
Ling Xue thought about it and agreed. The temperature wasn't that high yet.
Aunt Zhang had already prepared breakfast, and Ling Xue also went over to have a meal. It turned out that Aunt Zhang's cooking skills were pretty good.
Ling Xue was very satisfied with the meal.
Xiaobao is still sleeping. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang didn't wake him up. I guess Xiaobao might not be awake yet when they come back?
The three of them quietly went out and walked downstairs together.
Some elderly people couldn't sleep and got up early. They gathered in the small garden downstairs to exercise and chat.
Seeing Aunt Zhang and Ling Xue walking out, they greeted them warmly: "Where are you going so early?"
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang didn't hide it either. "Let's go to the wholesale market to stock up on some things. It's so hot now and we won't be able to go out anymore. We're afraid of getting heatstroke!"
"That's right, we need to stock up more. We've also discussed stocking up together, but we're not as efficient as you!"
The more Aunt Zhang heard this, the more she felt that her decision to stock up was absolutely correct. Didn’t she see that these old people were also discussing stocking up? Stockpiling was definitely the right thing to do!
Ling Xue also admired these old people very much. They had all lived their whole lives, and they were the first to move the grass when there was a slight breeze.
None of the three had a car, so they had to take a taxi.
Ling Xue also sent a message to the driver from last time: We are planning to stock up on goods and are on our way to the wholesale market now!
Unexpectedly, the driver replied immediately: "Remember not to make it public, otherwise people who haven't stocked up will break down your door and rob you!"
Ling Xue: "Is it that serious?"
The driver said: "Don't take it lightly! People who are extremely hungry can do anything!"
Ling Xue: "Okay!"
This is good, I can discuss safety issues with Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang!
