Chapter 5 Stocking Up

After dinner, Fa Wang was truly a dog father, and Chen Luo even had to wash the dishes for it.

After washing up, Chen Luo picked up his phone, ready to head out again.

Although there was still plenty of time, he felt more at ease preparing the supplies early.

Chen Luo planned to order a large quantity of vegetables and fruits, which required a large warehouse as a temporary storage location.

Relying on trucks to collect them wave after wave? Having others load them onto the truck one load at a time?

Don't be ridiculous.

Before leaving, Chen Luo deliberately tested Fa Wang's reaction.

Seeing Chen Luo about to leave, Fa Wang couldn't help but feel anxious. This master was really good to it, actually giving it ribs to eat. It had never eaten such good food since it was born.

Is he going to abandon me?

Am I going to be homeless again?

Fa Wang whimpered, gently nuzzling Chen Luo's leg with its head.

Chen Luo smiled, patted its head, and brought it along in the car. It was still necessary to cultivate a relationship with Fa Wang during this time.

Once in the car, Fa Wang, having followed Chen Luo, became quiet again.

In the following days, Chen Luo was busy searching for a warehouse, contacting suppliers, and occasionally making time to hoard some delicacies.

He was working around the clock.

The amount of money in his account was decreasing rapidly.

But Chen Luo was satisfied. Money spent is money, otherwise, it's just a piece of paper.

The house was mortgaged for 300 million, and the shares were sold for 1 billion.

Meat was the biggest expense, costing 500 million. It was originally 700 million, but the remaining 200 million would be paid after the apocalypse.

Which meant it didn't need to be paid.

Vegetables cost 300 million, mainly potatoes, cabbage, and corn.

These were bought from scattered suppliers, who didn't offer credit.

He could delay, but not for ten days or half a month.

Unless Chen Luo stalled until the few days before the apocalypse was about to happen, but then there might not be enough time to hoard.

Water, Chen Luo hoarded 100 million worth.

The water was all purified water. The water itself wasn't worth much, but the containers it was stored in were valuable.

The cost of a one-yuan bottle of mineral water is actually just over two mao. Excluding labor, factory buildings, and equipment, the bottle is the valuable part.

Fruits, Chen Luo also hoarded 200 million worth, mainly apples. Apples are nutritious, cheap, and available in sufficient quantities.

Chen Luo hoarded a little bit of every other kind of fruit, but not much.

Various snacks, such as chocolate, candy, potato chips, as well as table salt and seeds, also cost Chen Luo 100 million in total, with table salt accounting for half of that.

This cost 1.2 billion in total. Chen Luo also spent a lot of money renting warehouses, cold storage, and buying ready-made food.

Now Chen Luo only had 50 million left in his account.

Chen Luo let out a long breath. Hoarding supplies was not an easy task. It was finally coming to an end.

The only thing he hadn't hoarded was staple food: rice and flour. Chen Luo didn't have any at all.

Firstly, he didn't have enough funds, and secondly, Chen Luo had a better plan.

Who stores the most grain?

Local granaries, especially in large cities like Modu, store a lot of grain.

After the apocalypse, Chen Luo was afraid that his supernatural space wouldn't be big enough.

Chen Luo regretted not developing more supernatural space in his previous life.

Not only grain, but other supplies, such as vegetables and meat, could still be hoarded. A large supermarket stores a lot of supplies.

Others can't take much, but Chen Luo has a supernatural space.

To facilitate his actions after the apocalypse, Chen Luo ordered a batch of high-voltage electric batons.

Chen Luo spent a lot of money on this batch of electric batons, a total of 50.

Shortly after the apocalypse, these electric batons would be useless, but in the early stages, they would be very effective.

Zombies are afraid of electricity, after all.

There were also two sets of high-tech alloy armor, one made to his size, and one made to Su Dazhu's size.

Current technology isn't that advanced yet, so wearing this armor would be bulky, greatly affecting speed and movement.

But it was safe. With the strength of the initial zombies, it would be difficult for their attacks to break through the armor.

Combined with electric batons, hehe.

It could only be used in places with few zombies. If there were too many zombies, you'd be surrounded and unable to run.

The armor hadn't arrived yet.

Chen Luo, now that he was relatively free, bought a hundred large-capacity mobile phones and copied movies, novels, and study materials into them.

After the apocalypse, there would be no internet or signal, but the phones could still be used, provided you had power.

For this reason, Chen Luo also bought ten diesel generators, don't ask why he bought ten, he was afraid they would break down.

If he had a mobile phone with unlimited power and internet access, Chen Luo felt that he could have survived for another ten or twenty years in his previous life.

He also bought a lot of diesel.

That way, the air conditioner could also be used.

Gradually, Chen Luo bought a batch of walkie-talkies and biological supplies, such as rice cookers, ovens, microwave ovens, iron pots, etc.

At the same time, Chen Luo hired a cooking teacher.

What was the most annoying thing for Chen Luo after the apocalypse?

Even though he found the ingredients, he could only make food that was hard to swallow. If it wasn't for survival, Chen Luo really wouldn't want to eat it.

Once, Chen Luo and Su Dazhu found three potatoes and wanted to make shredded potatoes.

Who knew how to cut them?

Chen Ran and Su Dazhu stared at each other blankly.

They could only bake them with tears in their eyes, and they were even burnt.

Now that he had so many supplies, if he needed them in the future, he would only be able to stare blankly without cooking skills.

Chen Luo spent 50,000 yuan a month to hire a chef.

Wasn't that a lot?

Well, he'd pay a month later.

This teacher was called Ma Yu, a very mature and attractive 25-year-old beauty. Her appearance could only be described as average, but pleasing to the eye, but her figure was very good.

Chen Luo had tried Ma Yu's cooking skills, and they were really amazing, even more delicious than the food bought from a five-star hotel.

Originally, Ma Yu was worried that with such a high price, the employer might have some ulterior motives.

But after seeing Chen Luo in person, she was relieved. With Chen Luo's conditions, how many beautiful young ladies couldn't he attract?

Why would he bother spending time on her?

At this time, Chen Luo was learning.

"Today I'll teach you how to make sweet and sour pork ribs."

"First, blanch the ribs in cold water to remove the blood foam."

"Then pour in some free oil."

Chen Luo blushed. Where does oil come from for free?

The first time he was learning, Chen Luo was always afraid that there wouldn't be enough oil. Ma Yu went to the bathroom, and when she came back, she found that Chen Luo had poured half a pot of oil.

Ma Yu exclaimed, "Is the oil in your house free? Why did you pour so much?"

Seeing that Chen Luo had a good personality, Ma Yu just made a joke.

Even with Ma Yu's hands-on teaching, the dishes Chen Luo made were not comparable to Ma Yu's at all.

If Ma Yu wasn't there to guide him, even Fa Wang wouldn't eat the dishes Chen Luo tried to make.

Not even a dog would eat it.

Fa Wang: I have no grievances with my master, why do you want to poison me?

Chen Luo clenched his fists. I'm just not cut out to be a cook.

Chen Luo set his sights on Ma Yu. Your cooking skills are good, I'm optimistic about you.

If he couldn't do it himself, he'd just find a personal chef. Ma Yu's cooking skills were really nice.

Chen Luo and Ma Yu didn't know each other at all in their previous lives. He didn't know if Ma Yu would turn into a zombie after the apocalypse, so he could only hope for the best for her.
