Chapter 2 – Hoarding Supplies

According to the system ball, the place she would be transmigrating to was an alternate timeline resembling the 60s-70s era of a parallel world.

That world’s historical trajectory was quite similar to the present.

The only difference was that since it was a fictional period world, the names of historical figures had been changed.

Although Song Kexing grew up in a sanatorium, she hadn’t missed out on education and was well-versed in the history of the 60s and 70s.

A shortage of clothing and food, and a hard life—these were the defining traits of that era.

Song Kexing didn’t want to suffer, so she naturally had to stock up in a big way.

So she sold off her company shares and several properties, making tens of billions.

Then she immediately instructed Housekeeper Hu to purchase supplies from across the country.

By the time evening rolled around—

Housekeeper Hu had finally finished his tasks and came to report the results of the past few days.

“Young Miss, over these past seven days, we’ve acquired a massive amount of supplies. I’ve organized them roughly as follows…”

For easier sorting, the supplies were categorized into five types: clothing, food, shelter, transportation, and others.

Type One: Clothing – apparel, styling, cosmetics, skincare.

Song Kexing had reminded Housekeeper Hu that she liked 60s–70s-style fashion.

So Housekeeper Hu specially found several retro-style suppliers and ordered a ton from them.

Clothing from the 60s–70s emphasized black, gray, blue, and army green.

These colors came in all-season varieties.

Long coats and trousers, short sleeves with knee-length pants, sweaters and wool pants, cotton-padded jackets, military-style overcoats, thermal tops and bottoms—5,000 sets in various sizes for both men and women.

For more fashionable wear like Dacron short-sleeved shirts, polka-dot ruffle bubble dresses, qipaos, suits, and swimsuits, 30,000 sets of each were prepared.

Various types of shoes—cloth shoes, leather shoes, liberation shoes, rubber shoes, fur-lined boots—20,000 pairs in different sizes.

As for fabrics in all kinds of styles and colors—silk, lace, polyester, cotton-linen—10,000 bolts were bought.

The quality of these clothes, shoes, and fabrics was top-notch. Only the best would do.

There were also accessories from that era—hair ornaments, scrunchies, underwear, socks, gloves—10,000 items each.

Since she was buying vintage clothes, modern ones couldn’t be left out either.

Tank tops, T-shirts, shorts, shirts, dresses, trousers, leather jackets, sweaters, cotton jackets, down jackets, Hanfu, coats—30,000 sets of each, along with a range of shoes.

All from comfortable homewear brands like Uniqlo, Vero Moda, and Lativ…

Luxury brands like Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo also made the list—5,000 sets of their latest fashion, shoes, bags, watches, perfumes, and more were specially ordered.

Besides clothes, plenty of jewelry was also bought.

Gold, silver, jewels, rubies, emeralds, jade—dozens of sets of necklaces, earrings, whatever looked nice was bought.

The old mansion had already stored many expensive accessories; combined, the jewelry was worth billions.

As someone who loved beauty, cosmetics and skincare were also essential.

Eyebrow pencils, blush, eyeshadow, setting powder, primer, concealer, mascara, curlers, lip gloss, lipstick—20,000 sets each.

Face wash, toner, lotion, serum, sunscreen, face masks, skincare gadgets—10,000 sets each.

All top brands. Pricey, but extremely effective.

Next was Type Two—

Food: ingredients and tools.

Although there was land in the space, Song Kexing didn’t want to farm herself.

She had money—so she just bought, bought, and bought.

There were over ten varieties of rice, totaling 300,000 jin (150,000 kg).

Then 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) of flour, sweet potato starch, cornmeal, mixed grains, black rice, beans, etc.

These were mainly carbohydrates. Then came meats, vegetables, fruits, snacks, and drinks.

Housekeeper Hu sent teams to the largest livestock base in the country to buy tons of poultry and meat.

10,000 each of cows, sheep, donkeys, and pigs. 20,000 each of chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits. A total of 50,000 jin of assorted eggs.

All the livestock were slaughtered on-site. Edible organs were kept, everything cleaned, packaged, and flash-frozen, then shipped to the estate the next day.

Originally, Housekeeper Hu wanted to ask if she wanted live animals, but Song Kexing refused flatly.

She liked cleanliness and couldn’t manage too many animals in the space.

As a kind and innocent young lady, she didn’t want to kill them—it was too cruel.

System Ball: …

Never seen anyone make laziness sound so noble. Impressive!

While one team prepped the meat, Housekeeper Hu went to the neighboring city and personally bought a huge batch of seafood.

Lobsters, crabs, oysters, scallops, eels, squid, abalone, yellow croaker—various kinds of fish.

Song Kexing loved all of them. 50,000 jin of each was purchased.

The seafood was bought that very day and transported to the estate that night.

Behind Rose Estate was a large lake, perfect for storing them.

After the meat came the cooked food.

Braised pig head, trotters, intestines, chicken, duck, rabbit, beef, lamb leg—20,000 jin each.

All kinds of pastries: bread, buns, steamed buns, sesame balls, pumpkin cakes, cornbread, sponge cakes—10,000 jin each.

Cold dishes, self-heating hotpots, Luosifen, seafood feasts—hundreds of pre-prepared dishes, 5,000 portions each.

They even booked 100 banquet tables at the biggest hotel.

Braised lion’s head, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Peking duck, sweet and sour mandarin fish, Mapo tofu, red-braised pork, sweet and sour pork strips, garlic vermicelli shrimp and crab pot, pickled fish hotpot…

These dishes were rich in color, aroma, and flavor, all packed and delivered to the estate.

As for vegetables: scallions, string beans, pumpkins, winter melon, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, bok choy, peppers, garlic—20,000 jin each.

For fruits, Housekeeper Hu directly swept the wholesale market clean.

Oranges, apples, strawberries, dragon fruit, bananas, cantaloupes, watermelons, grapes, cherries, durians, peaches, lychees, jackfruits…

Thousands of jin of each, totaling around 100,000 jin altogether.

Additionally, Housekeeper Hu had people clear out most of a large supermarket’s food inventory.

Nuts, dried flowers, seeds, chocolate, milk candy, floral candy, preserved fruits, chips, popcorn, cakes, yogurt—thousands of snack types, each weighing over a thousand jin.

Milk tea, coconut juice, orange juice, mineral water, Fanta, cola, milk, coffee, various beers and wines—about 20,000 tons.

There were also health supplements: bird’s nest, donkey-hide gelatin, ginseng, peach gum—10,000 jin each.

After buying the food, the ingredients and tools for cooking were essential.

Seasonings like oil, soy sauce, dark soy, salt, MSG, Sichuan pepper, ginger, and more—20,000 portions each.

Kitchen tools: bowls, chopsticks, plates, vegetable knives, peelers, steamers, frying pans, sterilizers, iron pots, kettles, microwaves, juicers—10,000 each.

Housekeeper Hu put a lot of effort into gathering all these supplies.

Even though he had many questions in his heart, he didn’t ask them.

Speak less, do more.

That was the motto of a competent butler.

Still, he was a bit concerned.

After all, a lot of food doesn’t keep well and might go to waste.

Song Kexing: “It won’t be wasted. I have space!”

Time in the space was frozen. It had a preservation function, so nothing would expire or spoil.

In truth, a lot of this stuff wasn’t necessary and wouldn’t be used up.

Even ten lifetimes wouldn’t be enough.

But Song Kexing lived by one rule: do as she pleased.

She had money.

So—she was willful!
