Chapter 14 Checking for deficiencies and filling gaps

After New Year's Day, time officially entered 2022, and the world entered a new chapter. Read М

At the beginning of the year, Daxia encountered a major "setback". The trade negotiations between China and the other side of the ocean ended hastily with Daxia's active concession.

According to the memorandum of understanding signed by the two countries, Daxia promised to increase imports of goods and services from the other side by at least 2 trillion yuan.

Especially on the issue of agricultural products, Daxia once again signed a huge agricultural product procurement contract worth about 70 billion yuan.

And throughout 2021, Daxia has imported a total of about 400 billion yuan of agricultural products from the other side of the ocean.

That is to say, in just over a year, Daxia has imported a total of about 470 billion yuan of farm products from the other side of the ocean, with a total volume of almost 300 million tons.

Among them, soybeans alone exceeded 40 million tons, almost clearing the other side's inventory over the years at one time.

Just when the monopoly giants on the other side of the ocean were rejoicing, Xu Dong couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Bring a kind person! ! !

As a reborn person, he was very moved by the generosity of the other side of the ocean.

In the previous life, if the other party had not frantically forced Daxia to buy its domestic agricultural products, the difficulties encountered by Daxia would probably have increased by more than ten times.

After all, Daxia has a large population, and the pressure of food rations is much greater than that of many countries.

The competitor on the other side of the ocean helped Daxia a lot unintentionally, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as sending charcoal in the snow.

In contrast, the country of Tianzhu, which also has a large population, disintegrated in the second year of the catastrophe. Since then, the states have fallen into civil war, and only one in a hundred people have survived.

After reading this news, Xu Dong checked the comment area, and it was indeed full of wailing.

The comment that topped the likes list was this one:

"Everyone remember:

Summer grain brand: Huilinmen

Summer storage grain brand: Tieding

Please give priority to state-owned national brands when the price is right. If you can't buy it locally, you can buy it online, for the country and for ourselves. [Struggle][Struggle][Struggle]"

The number of likes on the comment actually exceeded 10 million. To be honest, Xu Dong was a little shocked.

He lived a cowardly and painful life in his previous life, which made him full of resentment towards the whole society, thus ignoring many beautiful things in human nature.

...

Life has to go on, and national affairs are temporarily put aside. Xu Dong plans to conduct a data statistics of the entire warehouse.

There are two purposes for statistics, one is to have a clear idea, and the other is to check for deficiencies and make up for them.

After a day and a night of registration, summary and analysis, Xu Dong finally found some missing materials or places where there were insufficient preparations.

First of all, he did not consider the energy aspect enough. He did not consider how to cook when electricity could not be used.

This is not a small problem. There are three babies at home, and they can't eat cold food.

The solution is simple. Xu Dong bought several alcohol stoves and stockpiled 3,000 kilograms of solid alcohol, which is three barrels.

Solar flares can damage electrical equipment, but they will never affect the burning of alcohol.

Secondly, he stocked up on common medicines, but forgot to buy vitamin tablets, not health products, but the kind that cost a few dollars a bottle at the pharmacy.

If fruits and vegetables are stored for a long time, a large amount of vitamin C will be lost. The lack of vitamin C in the human body will lead to a decrease in immunity and may eventually get sick.

This solution is even simpler. Xu Dong bought a lot of vitamin tablets directly at the pharmacy at the door.

Third, it is the problem of drinking water.

The main source of drinking water in the future will come from seawater desalination plants and groundwater, and a small part will come from sewage treatment plants.

At that time, in order to provide enough fresh water resources, the country may not have such strict requirements on water quality.

Therefore, Xu Dong needs to bring his own water purifier to avoid drinking unclean water.

This problem is also easy to solve. Xu Dong directly bought ten water dispensers online, and hundreds of boxes of spare filters, enough for more than ten years.

Fourth, there is still a dog and a cat missing.

After the catastrophe, although the public security situation in Daxia is generally good, there will be more and more petty thefts, and the crime rate of serious cases will also rise sharply, so we have to be cautious.

Although the courtyard of our family has a complete security system, it cannot guarantee 100% safety. Having more dogs to watch over the house is also an extra layer of insurance.

As for cats, they are mainly used to prevent rats. In the early stage of drought, the rat infestation will be very serious until the hungry people eat all the rats.

Later, a factory specializing in raising meat rats was even born. After all, rats have a short breeding cycle, are not picky about food, and have low breeding costs.

On the other hand, cats and dogs can also be good friends of children and cultivate love.

On the weekend, Xu Dong took the two sisters Keke to the pet market.

After selection, he finally bought a half-grown wolfhound and a "second-hand" tabby cat that had just grown up.

There is no other reason for choosing them, that is, because they have strong hunting ability, are easy to raise, and are not picky about food.

You can't have to stock up dog food for more than ten years just to raise a dog!

As for the problem of large dogs not being able to get a dog license, the only thing to do is to delay it until after the New Year.

After returning home, Xu Dong ordered a wooden dog house and cat bed online. As for the next few days, he will use cardboard boxes for the time being.

Coco named the wolf dog "Buck", probably because he learned it from TV.

Le Le got the naming rights for the tabby cat and named it "Hua Hua", probably because the cat has too many patterns on its body.

In addition, Buck and Hua Hua are both male.

Let's get back to the topic.

There is one last omission in the reserve list, and it is the one that should not be omitted, that is, masks.

First, it is to prevent sandstorms. As the drought continues to worsen in the future, sandstorms will become more and more rampant, and masks are absolutely a daily necessity.

Second, it is to prevent the pandemic. In the previous life, Luyang had several rounds of pandemic influenza. Although the mortality rate of influenza is very low, it is extremely harmful to infants and young children. Masks are even more indispensable at this time.

Good disposable masks can have a shelf life of up to three to five years.

Xu Dong waved his hand and directly purchased 100 boxes from the Internet.

One hundred boxes are enough for five or six years. When this batch of masks is used up or expired, you can go to the hospital to buy them. Difficult to buy does not mean impossible to buy.

A week later, all the goods purchased online arrived.

At this point, the final version of Xu Dong's reserve list was finally released.

According to statistics, the current warehouse list is as follows:

White sugar: about 1,000 tons

Emergency food: 100,000 bags

Rice: 30 tons

Grains/local specialties: about 48 tons

Wheat: 10 tons

Dehydrated vegetables: 100 boxes

Wine: more than 3,700 boxes (30,000 bottles)

Cigarettes: about 50 boxes (2,500 cartons)

Tea bricks: 50 boxes (1,000 kilograms)
