Chapter 341 The Disaster Supermarket is Ready
The typhoon and tsunami didn't last long, but several days of heavy rain followed, causing the sea level across the entire planet to rise.
The floodwaters in Yufei's apartment complex have reached the sixth floor, and other complexes are even worse.
Although it's been raining heavily every day lately, it hasn't stopped people in the neighborhood from going out to find food.
Because of the previous typhoon and tsunami, the goods in the basement and the first and second floor supermarkets were washed away by the tsunami.
Furthermore, some foods that were not packaged in bags were soaked in water and became inedible.
Even some packaged foods were not spared, so people who went out to find food did not find much.
Instead, they salvaged a bunch of random things, and some people just threw away these useless items on the spot.
Some people think, "Since we're already here, and we haven't found much to eat, we might as well take the leftovers back with us; at least it'll make us feel better."
Meanwhile, right after the tsunami receded, Yufei cleaned out the water that had accidentally seeped into her room and rented shop, and then thoroughly cleaned both properties, inside and out.
Then she started setting up her stall in the 15th-floor apartment she rented, arranging the shelves at regular intervals. The total area of the 15-floor apartment was nearly 1000 square meters.
There were about a hundred items on the shelves, and after placing them there, Yufei categorized them.
Grains, fresh vegetables, meat, daily necessities, luxury goods, fruits, etc.
Then he began cleaning out his own storage room, which had been upgraded several times and was now quite large.
Xiao Jun said that the storage room was already full of all kinds of edible plants and animals, as well as their by-products, and that the storage room was as big as the Earth.
What Xiao Jun said stunned Yu Fei; the space's output over 18 years was truly astounding.
Yufei's consciousness entered the spatial storage room. She hadn't looked closely before when she came in to retrieve things, but now she saw that each compartment was completely filled with food.
With signs of overflowing storage, Yufei even suspected that the space had created this "world power" just so she could deal with these nearly overflowing items. In a way, Yufei was right.
Yufei's consciousness arrived at the grain area marked by Xiaojun, where there were various types of rice, such as Yangguo fragrant rice and pearl rice, Daxiangguo long-grain rice, Daxia fragrant rice and Wuchang rice, etc.
Flour made from wheat milled in Northeast China, sorghum from Tibet, glutinous rice, sweet potatoes (there are more than ten kinds of sweet potatoes, such as yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, Liu'ao sweet potatoes, Xinjiang Hami sweet potatoes, ice cream sweet potatoes, watermelon red sweet potatoes, etc.), potatoes, barley, millet, and more than ten other kinds of grains.
Yufei took over 100 jin of each type and placed them in the grain area.
Next, Yufei found the area where various kinds of green vegetables were stored. Time was frozen in each compartment of the storage room, so the vegetables Yufei took out were all incredibly fresh.
Yufei placed the vegetables in the 15th-floor section marked as vegetables. The shelves in this section were the same as those in the supermarket where she bought vegetables.
There was also a water sprayer around to keep the vegetables fresh, making them look shiny, as if they had just been picked.
The fresh meat section is next to the vegetable section, and the variety of meats is astonishing—everything that flies, walks, and swims is available. To keep these meats fresh, Yufei uses specially designed refrigerated display cases, which act like storage rooms within the space, freezing time and maximizing the preservation of the meat's freshness.
On the other side of the fresh meat section is the luxury section. But this luxury section doesn't actually feature high-end brands; rather, Yufei calls the top-tier ingredients, which are extremely rare to obtain during natural disasters, "luxury goods."
All of Little Black's favorite bluefin tuna slices, blue lobster, king crab, basil, caviar, space-special ham, space foie gras, white truffles, black truffles, and other top-tier ingredients from Earth are all here.
The containers used to store this food are also refrigerated display cases manufactured by Space.
After finishing the luxury goods section, Yufei ran to the other side of the grain section.
On the other side, closest to the grain area, is the daily necessities area, where all products are processed goods manufactured by the space itself.
Examples include wooden boats made from trees that grow in the space, various rubber products made from the latex of rubber trees, cotton quilts made from cotton, cotton cloth made from cotton (in large bolts, because no one in the space has time to make clothes, so there are no clothes made from various materials), unprocessed cotton, cotton and linen cloth, bolts of silk, light gauze, duck down, and goose down (in large compressed bags, one pound per bag).
Soap, soapberries, toothbrushes made from pig bristles, charcoal made from processed wood, chopsticks, bowls, and other daily necessities—these items cover as many aspects of life as possible.
Aside from some modern spaces entirely made with chemicals, all other spaces can be made with minimal processing of plants and animals.
Beyond the household goods section is the food processing area, which is full of processed food products.
For example, there are various dried goods such as milk powder (packaged in bamboo tubes), cured meat, smoked meat, dried bamboo shoots, pickled vegetables, pickled vegetables, dried kelp, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried squid, glutinous rice cakes, jarred rice wine, jarred liquor, fermented black beans, fermented bean curd, soy sauce made from fermented soybeans, vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, maltose, preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, etc. Basically, any edible plant or animal product that can be processed into food is available here.
The household goods section and the food processing section alone occupy dozens of shelves.
Finally, there's the live animal section, which mainly contains chickens, ducks, and rabbits, all kept in woven cages. There aren't many, about five of each. Once they're sold out, Yufei will replace them, but whether it will still be chickens, ducks, and rabbits is uncertain.
Then came a series of fish tanks, each about ten meters wide and one meter high, taken out of a dimensional pocket.
The container mostly contained freshwater fish, such as carp, snakehead, freshwater bass, yellow catfish, catfish, and black carp—freshwater fish that were available in the market before the disaster.
However, the fish meat is much smoother and firmer than farmed fish. Oh no, it's too cheap to compare it to farmed fish. It should be said that it tastes dozens of times better than these wild freshwater fish from Blue Star. Anything produced by Space is bound to be a masterpiece.
The freshwater fish, nurtured by the river water in the space, possess an added spiritual energy. Besides freshwater fish, this area also harbors live marine creatures.
The seafood included about ten kinds, such as clams, blood clams, oysters, abalone, blue crabs, lobsters, prawns, and mantis shrimp, all stored in seawater stored in the space.
Whether it's freshwater fish or seafood, the live seafood section is only so big; it definitely can't hold everything. Yufei's plan is to buy everything here in one batch and then move on to the next.
Changing things up is nice; Yufei's plan to prepare the goods for the disaster supermarket is now complete.
Then Yufei set up a cash register in the only passageway on the 15th floor. This cash register was very large, basically taking up the entire passageway entrance on the 15th floor. Of course, the space of this cash register was designed according to the standards of a supermarket cash register.
There was a passageway that could only allow one person to exit, but it's now blocked by a fence about one person tall; you can only leave after paying.
Next to the cashier was another fence, cleverly designed to allow entry but not exit. Yufei wasn't worried at all about anyone forcing their way out. It was a product of Space, specifically recommended by Xiaojun, so there wouldn't be any problems.
Finally, Yufei specially reserved a corner in her disaster supermarket to place the high-powered generator that the government had prepared for them in their dimensional space.
Yufei connected the electrical wiring for this floor and her room to the generator, and now both of her apartments have electricity.
Since the tsunami, all power has been cut off; the entire city is offline. The Chinese government says the power is being repaired, but Yufei knows it's irreversible.
Therefore, she arranged this generator after careful consideration.
Yufei checked the entire 15th floor. Everything was ready; now all that was needed was a favorable wind, waiting for the people in the disaster area to discover this place.
Yufei stretched her arms and rubbed her back. After closing the large gate that was the only exit to the 15th floor, she leisurely went back to her apartment on the 16th floor.
