Chapter 5： materials

After Ye Xuan said goodbye to Ling Jiaze, he left the city of Australia by plane the next morning with his property several times over, and went straight to the neighboring province of C city.

He had no experience in purchasing before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, he followed the official mission more often and probably knew where there were more supplies, and where to go to find what he wanted. Now switch Thinking about the previous experience is barely usable.

The province where C city is located is very small, and many items are shipped from the next province. For the sake of convenience, Ye Xuan directly found a food agent in the next province. These agents are used to helping small businesses move towards Manufacturers place orders to earn some commissions, and they place orders on their behalf, which can be regarded as saving the trouble of running around.

Ye Xuan read to the list sorted out on his mobile phone memo: "Compressed biscuits, chocolate, instant noodles, canned food, I have to place orders for these kinds of things that are very convenient to eat, grain and oil, vegetables and fruits, meat, eggs, fish, aquatic products. Dry goods and seasonings are also needed, please, it would be even better if you could help me order snacks that are common in supermarkets.”

After listening to what he said, Manager Song thought for a while and said, "I have all the things you mentioned. I will bring you the supply orders and price lists of several companies. You can tick them. How much do you want? You fill it out directly, and then I ask them to place an order, do you think this works?"

"OK."

Soon Manager Song came over with a large pile of documents. He put the box full of folders on the ground, took out a folder and said, "We are all the same. Let's look at the rice noodles first, this is our place. The rice that can be ordered on the side is marked with the origin, variety and price. If you are interested, I also have a sample library here, and I can show you there."

Before the apocalypse, he picked out a random type of rice to buy at the supermarket. After the apocalypse, it would be good to have rice. Ye Xuan: ...what is this?

He bit his head and turned a few pages, only to feel that the rice on each page was similar, and he couldn't see the difference at all. He could only find out from his memory what kind of rice he used at home and whether there was any in the post-apocalyptic world. I have eaten rice that is more pleasing to my heart, and then correspond to the information on the picture one by one.

Seeing his inexperienced appearance, Manager Song said, "This is your first time to buy?" Which company is so rude, looking for a pure rookie to buy?

Ye Xuan explained according to the speech he made up: "Well, I want to open an online store, a small business."

Manager Song: You really don't look like you're doing business.

The visitor was a guest. Ye Xuan sent him to the door. Manager Song didn't mean to push him out. He just said a few more words when he showed him the options later, and told him which ones were common in supermarkets. It's easy to sell, lest this newcomer hit the wall too badly.

With Ye Xuan's purchase method, which seemed to be almost enough to place an order, he quickly marked all the things he wanted to buy, and because the food distributor had more order options, he also added some things that he didn't think of. something that can be called overdone.

Of course, his wallet has also shrunk a lot.

The more manager Song looked at, the more he felt that Ye Xuan didn't seem to be in business. He basically chose the common items in the supermarket, such as rice, noodles, grains and oils, and vegetables and fruits seemed to come from his heart. As for the biscuits and chocolates He is a big piece of such things, and the price and whether it is easy to sell are completely out of his consideration, as if he only buys these things to complete the task.

The most important thing is that he also buys many things that can't be put away, as if he has never considered the shelf life.

He said tentatively, "Your order is a little too big, it may take me a while to place all the orders for delivery."

"How soon?"

Manager Song said embarrassedly: "One week at the earliest, two weeks at the latest, mainly because it takes a certain amount of time for the merchant to deliver the goods to me, and then I have to deliver it to you, back and forth in the middle. The procedure is a bit slow. In addition, you want a large amount of vegetables and fruits, which will be delivered after the order is placed, which is even slower.”

This time is barely within Ye Xuan's acceptance range, but he is not sure that everything in this life is in the same direction as in the previous life, he hesitated for a long time and said, "Well, you place an order for me first, and when something arrives, it will be the first. Whatever you want to send, I will give you the extra shipping cost alone."

"Okay, then give me an address and pay the deposit?"

"Well, I'll write you the address." Ye Xuan's family has a small warehouse on the outskirts of city c. After the previous tenant left, he hadn't had time to find the next tenant, and now he can just use it. After writing the address, he swiped the card neatly, and soon his mobile phone received a payment reminder, even if the transaction was partially completed.

Seeing that he was so happy to pay the bill, Manager Song temporarily put down his doubts. It doesn't matter whether this kid runs an online store or wants to do something with these things, anyway, he made a profit by doing this business smoothly.

Ye Xuan and Manager Song did not return to City C immediately after finalizing the order, but went to the store of another daily necessities agent. His plan originally included the purchase of daily necessities, but originally he was going to find a few more stores to buy directly from the Internet, and it was almost enough to hoard some of them. But after doing this business with Manager Song, Ye Xuan realized that it was faster and cheaper to find an agent for wholesale than to buy it himself, so he simply found a reliable agent on the Internet to place an order.

Toilet paper, tissue, soap, body wash, shampoo, laundry detergent…

Daily necessities are much faster to buy than food. Ye Xuan first placed an order according to the brand he was using at home. After buying enough for him to use for a lifetime, he bought some cheap and large quantities according to his balance. After the end of the world Discontinued daily necessities, anyway, these things can be taken out and traded with others in the future, and they will not lose money.

After he paid the deposit, he made an agreement with the agent to deliver it three days later. Most of the daily necessities are in stock, so there is no need to wait like food. All it takes is the delivery time on the road, which is just a staggered time.

So far, Ye Xuan's task of collecting supplies is more than half completed, and he plans to place an order online for the remaining bits and pieces, or go to the field to buy after finishing the renovation of the villa.

—

The second day after returning to City C, Ye Xuan drove to the building materials market, preparing to start the renovation of the villa.

He had no intention of turning his home into a fortress. First, it was too ostentatious and would easily cause unnecessary trouble. Second, he was not prepared to guard the villa for the rest of his life. When the situation stabilized, he planned to live in safety like in his previous life. In this way, high-level zombies, animals and plants can be prevented.

All he has to do is to simply strengthen the defense of his own home, strengthen the doors and windows and raise the outer walls. To put it bluntly, he wants to guard against the human beings in the last days.

The early zombies had no brains and only instincts. Ye Xuan was not particularly afraid of them, but human beings...

Ye Xuan closed his eyes and recalled the behaviors that fell below the bottom line that he had seen in his previous life. Humans who have lost legal constraints are the most dangerous beings who can do anything.

Ye Xuan walked around the building materials market, found a shop with good quality materials and also packaged repairs, placed an order with the other party at a price slightly higher than the market, and made an appointment tomorrow for them to come to the door to measure, and then start work immediately.

He has no other requirements, only two points - good quality and quick completion.

The owner who sells building materials is surnamed Zhang. He has been in this business for more than ten years. In the past few years, several new communities with villas have been built around City C. He can be regarded as seeing a lot of strange decoration requirements, such as Ye Xuan. This kind of high demand for practicality and safety is not a minority.

Living in a villa, although there are security guards in the entire community, it will still make people feel unsafe without a unit door and the built-in anti-theft capability of high floors. I want to add something to the courtyard wall and gate, and think about making the windows stronger. Isn't it normal to avoid someone breaking the window one day?

However, there are still few people like Ye Xuan who have been living for a few years and suddenly renovated again. Boss Zhang saw that Ye Xuan did things simply and did not choose styles, and he was quite fond of him. How did you get it at the time, because the material was not selected or there was a problem during installation, why did it have to be reinstalled after just over two years?"

Ye Xuan said half-truths: "I was young at the time and had a lot of things to do with graduation. I didn't have time to stare at the same thing, so I made a rough decoration and moved in. During this time, I watched several times in a row. The news that the villa was touched by someone made me think that I should spend more time on the decoration, so as not to have an accident."

"If you want to be safe, you have to hurry. Safety is a big deal!" Boss Zhang sighed and was afraid that Ye Xuan would feel that he was spending money wrongly, so he explained, "Actually, this is the case for people who are doing renovations for the first time, and I have several customers. It’s the first time you have no experience in decoration, either you have installed a bunch of useless things or you have left things behind and you need to re-decorate it. It’s not easy for a young person like you to decorate by yourself.”

"Well, it's not too late to make amends." Ye Xuan replied to the first half of Boss Zhang's sentence, but automatically ignored the second half.

In fact, his family's villa was mainly decorated by his mother in those days. Later, his parents passed away unexpectedly, and the decoration was hastily ended. During that time, he was busy with graduation while taking care of his parents' affairs. Because he had too many memories of the old house, it was easy to be emotional, so he simply bought a few pieces of furniture and moved. How could he carefully consider security issues?

As far as the security of his villa, he could live in a safe place for two years because he was conscientious and responsible by the security of the community, and thieves didn't dare to provoke an adult man like him.
