Checking for gaps

After New Year’s Day, the time has officially entered 2022, and the world has entered a new chapter.

At the beginning of the year, Daxia encountered a major “setback”. The trade negotiations between the country and the other side of the ocean ended in a hurry with Daxia’s voluntary concessions.

According to the memorandum of understanding signed by the two countries, Daxia promised to increase the import of each other’s goods and services by at least 2 trillion yuan.

Especially on the issue of agricultural products, Daxia once again signed a huge agricultural product procurement contract worth about 70 billion yuan.

while in the wholeBy 2021, Daxia has imported about 400 billion yuan of agricultural products from across the ocean.

In other words, in just a little over a year, Daxia imported a total of about 4,700 yuan of farm products from the other side of the ocean, and the total amount was almost 300 million tons.

Among them, soybean alone exceeded 40 million tons, which almost emptied the other party’s inventory over the years.

Just as the monopoly giants on the other side of the ocean were rejoicing, Xu Dong couldn’t help showing a knowing smile.

Bring good people! ! !

As a Reborn, he was very touched by the generosity from across the ocean.

In the previous life, if the other party hadn’t crazily forced Daxia to buy its domestic agricultural products, the difficulties Daxia encountered would probably have increased by more than ten times.

After all, Daxia has a large population, and the pressure on rations is much greater than that of many countries.

Competitors on the other side of the ocean unintentionally did Da Xia a big favor, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as sending charcoal in a timely manner.

In contrast, the Tianzhu Kingdom, which also has a large population, disintegrated in the second year of the catastrophe. Since then, the states have fallen into civil war, and the people have not survived.

After reading the news, Xu Dong scrolled through the comment section, and there was indeed a lot of wailing.

The first comment on the praise list is this comment:

“Remember:

Summer Grain Brand: Huilinmen

Summer grain storage brand: Tieding

Please give priority to buying national brands of state-owned enterprises when the price is right. If you can’t buy them locally, you can buy them online, for the sake of the country and ourselves. [struggle][struggle][struggle]”

The number of likes on the comment exceeded 10 million. To be honest, Xu Dong was a little shocked.

The useless and painful life in the previous life made him full of resentment towards the whole society, thus ignoring many beautiful things in human nature.

…

Life has to go on, and national affairs are temporarily put aside, Xu Dong plans to conduct a statistics on the entire warehouse.

Statistics have two purposes, one is to know what is in the mind, and the other is to check for gaps and fill in gaps.

After a day and night of registration, summarization and analysis, Xu Dong finally found some missing materials, or places where there were insufficient preparations.

The first is insufficient consideration of energy. He did not consider how to cook when electricity is not available.

This is not a small problem. There are three babies in the family, and they can’t eat cold food.

The solution was simple. Xu Dong specially bought a few alcohol stoves and stockpiled 3,000 kilograms of solid alcohol, which was a full three barrels.

Solar flares can damage electrical equipment, but absolutely nothing to burn alcohol.

Secondly, he stocked up on commonly used medicines, but forgot to buy vitamin tablets, which were not health care products, but the kind bought in pharmacies for a few dollars a bottle.

If fruits and vegetables are stored for a long time, a large amount of vitamin C will be lost. The lack of vitamin C in the human body will lead to a decline in immunity and may eventually get sick.

This solution was simpler, Xu Dong bought a lot of vitamin tablets directly at the pharmacy outside the door.

The third is the issue of drinking water.

The future source of drinking water will mainly come from seawater desalination plants and groundwater, and a small part will come from sewage treatment plants.

At that time, in order to provide enough fresh water resources, the country may not have such strict requirements on water quality.

Therefore, Xu Dong needs to bring his own water purifier to avoid drinking unclean water.

This problem is also easy to solve. Xu Dong directly bought ten water dispensers online, as well as hundreds of boxes of spare filter elements, enough to last for more than ten years.

Fourth, a dog and a cat are missing.

After the catastrophe, although the public security situation in Daxia is generally good, there will be more and more petty thefts, and the crime rate of vicious cases will also rise sharply, so we have to be cautious.

Although our own courtyard has a complete security system, it cannot guarantee 100% safety. Multiple housekeeping dogs are also an extra layer of insurance.

As for cats, they are mainly used to keep rats out. In the early days of the drought, the rats will be very serious until the hungry people eat up the rats.

Even, a factory specializing in raising meat rats was born later. After all, the breeding cycle of rats is short, they are not picky about food, and the cost of breeding is low.

On the other hand, cats and dogs can also become good friends of children and can cultivate love.

On the weekend, Xu Dong took the Coco sisters to the pet market.

After selection, he finally bought a half-grown wolf dog and a “second-hand” civet cat that had just grown up.

There is no other reason for choosing them, but because they have strong hunting ability, are easy to feed, and are not picky about food.

You can’t have to store dog food for more than ten years just to raise a dog!

As for the problem of not being able to apply for a dog-keeping license for large dogs, one word is procrastination, and it will not be a problem after a year of procrastination.

After returning home, Xu Dong ordered a wooden dog house and cat litter on the Internet. As for these few days, he will use cardboard boxes for the time being.

Coco named the wolf dog “Buck”, probably learned it from TV.

Lele won the right to name the raccoon cat, and named it “Hua Hua”, probably because the cat has too many patterns on its body.

Additionally, Buck andHuahua is male.

Next back to the topic.

There is one final omission from the stockpile list, and the last one that should be missing, and that is masks.

One is to prevent sandstorms. As the drought continues to worsen in the future, sandstorms will become more and more raging. Masks are absolutely necessary for daily use.

The second is to prevent the epidemic of influenza. Several rounds of influenza broke out in Luyang in the previous life. Although the fatality rate of influenza is very low, it does great harm to infants and young children. Masks are indispensable at this time.

Good disposable masks have a shelf life of up to three to five years.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Dong purchased a hundred boxes directly from the Internet.

One hundred boxes is enough for five or six years. When the batch of masks is used up or expired, you can still go to the hospital to buy them. Hard to buy doesn’t mean you can’t buy them.

A week later, all the goods purchased online have arrived.

So far, the final version of Xu Dong’s reserve list has finally been released.

According to statistics, the current warehouse list is as follows:

White sugar: about 1000 tons

Emergency food: 100,000 packs

Paddy: 30 tons

Miscellaneous grains/native products: about 48 tons

===Section 11===

Wheat: 10 tons

Dehydrated vegetables: 100 boxes

Liquor: more than 3,700 boxes (23,000 bottles)

Cigarettes: about 50 boxes (2500 sticks)
