April ended, and people around Wen Qian were living their lives as usual, but she felt completely different.
According to last year's temperatures, An Province and An City should have warmed up in May, but it was still cold from time to time.
Wen Qian felt that spring seemed to last longer this year. In the past, spring and autumn were very short seasons, and they were already in the next season before they even had time to get their clothes out.
Of course, no one thought this mild weather was bad, Wen Qian would just feel a little worried about it. She began to have bad imaginations.
At the same time, having space made Wen Qian a little overly nervous about space, she would check if her space was there from time to time in her mind, or take something out to prove to herself that she was not imagining things or that there was nothing wrong with her head, or she would worry that her space would suddenly disappear, as if she had never had it before.
Of course, the remaining part of the hairpin was put in her space by her, this was the evidence that proved the matter really existed.
Because she was stockpiling, Wen Qian no longer used the company driver's car, but planned to rent a van that could transport goods.
She planned to go to the wholesale market whenever she had time.
Obviously, the May holiday was a great opportunity.
Because the company had to have someone on duty, she discussed with her colleagues that she would be on duty during the holidays, and take time off after the golden week holiday ended.
Wen Qian felt that car rental prices shouldn't rise after the holiday, similarly, the passenger flow should also decrease a little after the holiday.
Her female boss also joked with her that she was 26 years old now, and had been single while working in the company for these years, afraid it would delay the big event in her life.
Wen Qian just smiled without answering. Even if she was not busy with work, she didn't have much expectation for the so-called big event in life.
She was a person who was very good at observing and thinking, but it was enough that she understood it in her heart, she rarely spoke it out.
Regarding people around her wanting to fall in love and get married, she believed that everyone should be responsible for their own choices, and that was it.
So it was very difficult for people around to persuade Wen Qian. She never felt that marriage would be a happy beginning, nor did she feel that others were her lifeline.
Life was in her own hands. When she walked alone on the tree-lined campus road, looking at the street lamps beside her after spending a day in the library, she felt joyful and fulfilled inside.
She would never panic because she was not in love, nor would she feel lonely as she grew older.
But she had imagined raising a child.
The child could be her own birth child, or an adopted one.
Perhaps because she herself was picked up and raised by her grandparents, so she didn't dislike children.
She had given up the idea now. Seeing the pressure of people around her raising children in today's relatively stable society, it was better to just take care of herself if her financial ability was too weak.
If the stable society disappeared, it would be better not to give birth to children who would suffer, of course, this great truth of human reproduction could not stop her.
After all, even dinosaurs did not leave survivors, and the great Qing dynasty had long perished.
So what if humans became extinct?
Just live well if you can live, and let it go if you really can't live.
Wen Qian, born in 2000, got space and dream enlightenment in 2026, an optimist in pessimism.
During the vacation, Wen Qian drove to the seed wholesale market.
Wen Qian had learned about all kinds of seeds suitable for the climate and soil of An Province, and bought different varieties of rice, wheat, and many other seeds.
Wen Qian bought things she remembered seeing planted at home as a child, such as peanuts, soybeans, peppers, sesame, cotton, cucumbers and tomatoes.
The shop owner felt it novel to see a young girl coming to buy seeds, and purchase these seeds as if they were novelties.
"Are you going to buy a little of everything?" The aunt asked curiously but still kindly reminded, "Seeds have a shelf life, the longer the time, the lower the germination rate."
"Oh, it's fine, I'm buying them back for many people to share, not just for myself." Wen Qian explained.
Previously, a plate of food wrapped in plastic wrap and left in space for many days showed no signs of spoilage or rot when taken out.
Seeds left in there should also remain in their original condition.
This seed wholesale market not only wholesaled but also retailed. The retail prices were not much cheaper. Wen Qian did not look for cheap deals here, as long as the seeds were real.
Wen Qian spent over 2,000 yuan in this aunt's store, buying a lot of seeds, with rice, wheat and corn taking up most of the amount.
Some were planned purchases, while others were impulse buys, thinking that having more varieties would come in handy for herself later.
At the same time, Wen Qian specifically marked "not for consumption" when putting them into space.
After buying staple food seeds from physical stores, Wen Qian planned to buy some seeds on official seed websites, such as all kinds of tomatoes and some fruit seeds, like watermelon and honeydew melon.
Also, the seed wholesale market in An City had mostly seeds suitable for the local area. If Wen Qian needed to purchase seeds from other regions, she would have to carefully find some credible online stores in those places to purchase.
In short, the more seed varieties she had, the better they would come in handy no matter how the living environment changed in the future.
After purchasing the seeds, Wen Qian went to Bai Sha Wholesale Market to buy things. This time she planned to buy white sugar, pork and some seasonings.
Wen Qian was not fond of white sugar, but she knew from stockpiling information that white sugar was referred to as a strategic material, so she also included it in her wholesale list.
When looking up wholesale prices of various grains and oils online earlier, Wen Qian could find recent price data for most items, but not white sugar, which was always priced by the ton.
Wen Qian bought half a ton at the wholesale market, spending nearly 3,000 yuan.
After loading the goods, Wen Qian didn't need to leave the market, she drove directly to other wholesale areas and put the items into her space right in the car.
The wholesale price of pork that day was 30 yuan per kilogram. Wholesale pork was sold in sections, with the pig's head and internal organs removed and the spine split into two halves, so two sections.
Wen Qian had seen pig slaughtering in the village when she was little. The pork here was not as big as home-raised pigs in the countryside.
So Wen Qian took three sections of pork, spending nearly 3,000 yuan again. She liked to eat meat, but buying this much was already her limit.
Cheaper than pork was poultry. Wen Qian planned to buy some later.
Buying meat required seasonings.
Wen Qian originally thought hot pot soup bases were very convenient, but compared to buying ingredients, buying ready-made soup bases was less cost-effective.
Things like star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices, Wen Qian purchased these, and could make her own mixes later. Although not as good as ready-made hot pot soup bases, it saved money.
