My courtyard shelter

From June 15, Xu Dong began to receive various express deliveries one after another. Sometimes there were hundreds of packages a day, and soon there was no place to stand in the yard. Read М

In order to sort out these packages, Xu Dong was so tired that he almost couldn't straighten his back.

On June 18, the purchased vacuum machine arrived. Not all merchants have the ability to provide vacuum packaging, so Xu Dong simply bought one.

Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing.

It was not until June 25 that Xu Dong sealed all the goods and moved them all to the warehouse, placing them in different categories.

The next day, Xu Dong returned to Luyang again, reunited with his family for three days, and then went north for the fourth time.

This time Xu Dong planned to stay for a while longer, with the excuse that the business volume in the capital had increased sharply, and the company needed him to help set up a branch, and this "business trip" would take at least one or two months.

Yang Lina and Xu's mother had no doubts, because during this period, Xu Dong took 180,000 yuan home in commissions alone.

With such a large commission, frequent business trips are a given.

…

On the last day of June, Xu Dong once again placed a large order with the supplier. This time, the products were mainly concentrated in the four categories of tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea.

Xu Dong himself was also a smoker, but after the ten years in his previous life, he had long since quit smoking.

However, the shelf life of cigarettes is still good, up to four or five years, and it is a hot commodity for gifts and relationships, and is also quite popular on the black market, so he directly placed an order for 50 boxes.

This item alone cost more than 3 million yuan.

Next is the wine, which has a longer shelf life, and many strong liquors have almost no shelf life.

The longer the time, the more fragrant the wine is.

Xu Dong ordered a batch of strong liquors from several major domestic brands, including high-end and mid-range ones, including thatch moss.

In total, there are almost 3,500 boxes, and a total of more than 8 million yuan was spent.

In addition, Xu Dong also ordered 100 boxes of various wines, all of which are suitable for long-term storage. He found a big foreign brand and spent more than 100,000 yuan.

Next, it was tea. Xu Dong usually drank green tea and was not very familiar with other teas.

After some communication and inquiry, he finally ordered only 1,000 kilograms of tea bricks, mainly Pu'er tea and ordinary tea bricks.

The shelf life of these tea bricks is generally more than ten years, easy to store, long-lasting and drinkable, and very cost-effective.

Finally, the big head of this purchase - sugar!

The more famine there is, the more people crave two things, one is fat, and the other is sugar.

About 70% of the energy needed by the human body is provided by sugar, and sugar is also an important substance for forming tissues and protecting liver functions.

In the future, food will be fully controlled by the state, and Xu Dong cannot get involved. It is okay to buy and sell a small amount, but a large scale will definitely be investigated, and the risk is too great.

As for fat, that is, meat and cooking oil, the shelf life is a hard flaw, and Xu Dong does not intend to participate in it.

Sugar not only has a very long shelf life, but also is not strictly controlled by the state, which gives Xu Dong room to get involved.

To some extent, sugar is comparable to grain. It is a hard currency that can be converted into cash at any time. In the long run, it will never be in demand.

Therefore, Xu Dong plans to stock up a batch of white sugar as a ballast stone for the warehouse to cope with various crises that may break out.

However, the purchase volume this time is too large. Xu Dong found more than a dozen suppliers to get 1,000 tons, with a total value of about 7.2 million yuan.

After a week, all the tobacco, alcohol, tea and sugar ordered this time arrived, and the yard was piled up again. Xu Dong even had to rent a temporary warehouse.

This time, Xu Dong spent more than a month to sort everything out.

At this point, the entire warehouse on the second floor below ground has been fully filled, and even the warehouse on the first floor below ground has only about half of the space left.

This scene made Xu Dong smile foolishly.

As the saying goes: With food in hand, there is no need to panic.

So far, Xu Dong has only purchased some products that are more suitable for long-term storage, and he has completed more than half of the hoarding task. The next quantity will not be so much.

On August 8, Xu Dong purchased a batch of household appliances, including televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, soy milk machines, juicers, razors, kitchen and bathroom appliances, etc., and bought more than a dozen of each for backup.

Xu Dong remembered that in his previous life, after the catastrophe, these household appliances were very difficult to buy, and the prices were very expensive. It is better to hoard a batch now to avoid trouble.

In addition, Xu Dong has hoarded hundreds of electronic products such as computers, mobile phones, game consoles, radios and tablets, and even considered the share for his grandchildren.

In addition, Xu Dong also bought a household rice mill and flour mill, which are needed when processing rice and wheat.

He even bought a set of equipment for making tofu. The store attached a full set of video teaching materials, claiming that you can learn it at a glance.

On August 10, two cars suddenly appeared in the courtyard. One was a 10-seat Mercedes-Benz luxury business car. After all, there were many people in the family, and only a 10-seat car could accommodate them.

The other was a small van with a fresh-keeping and freezing function. It was mainly used to transport goods and was convenient for entry and exit.

Both cars were fuel-powered cars, and the total cost was 7.3 million yuan.

Why choose a fuel car?

Firstly, because the technology of electric vehicles is not yet mature at this time, the batteries need to be replaced every few years, which is very inconvenient;

Secondly, fuel will be more abundant than electricity in the future. In Luyang in the previous life, for example, in order to ensure food production, power cuts were imposed almost every day.

And don’t forget that when a large solar flare breaks out, it will cause a global blackout. At that time, fuel vehicles will be more reliable.

On August 12, Xu Dong locked the door of his courtyard house and prepared to drive to an orchard on the outskirts of Yanjing.

The purpose of his trip was not to buy fruit, but to purchase a batch of mature, high-purity honey.

This kind of honey has a high sugar content, and bacteria cannot survive in such a high-sugar environment.

Archaeologists once unearthed 3,300-year-old honey in the Egyptian pyramids, which had not deteriorated at all.

After arriving at the destination, Xu Dong made a phone call and quickly found the orchard owner. The two parties had met online before.

"Are you Mr. Xu Dongxu?" the orchard owner greeted.

"Yes, that's me." Xu Dong nodded, "Are you Boss Hu? Nice to meet you!"

Boss Hu didn't waste time, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the honey."

The two of them walked in circles to the central area of ​​the orchard. There were seven or eight beehives placed nearby, and bees were coming in and out in groups.

"Boss Hu, what kind of bees do you raise here?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

“Italian Bee.”

"How is your honey-producing ability?"

"The ability to produce honey is pretty good, and the ability to produce royal jelly is also very strong. Would you like some too?" Boss Hu started to promote it at the right time.

Xu Dong shook his head: "No need for now, let's talk about it next time!"

He checked the information before coming here and found that royal jelly has a short shelf life and has no storage value.

"Oh, that's okay, then we'll start getting honey now!"

…

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Dong left with more than a dozen bottles of freshly baked honey. The honey was definitely real honey. He saw it squeezed out with his own eyes, but he didn't know if it was mature honey.

However, Boss Hu swears that his honey is of high quality and can definitely be stored for several years.
