So much! How much would this cost?Lin Yu exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement."Do we have enough money to live on, sis?""I've read in novels that people stockpile hundreds of billions of dollars worth of supplies. Even if we bought all the pots and pans, it still wouldn't be enough."He wailed, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran into the bedroom.Looking at his boisterous younger brother, Lin Anran's uneasy heart relaxed.A moment later, Lin Yu ran out of the room, grabbed her hand, and pulled her outside."Sis, let's go to the bank."Lin Anran was completely bewildered as Lin Yudragged her out.Her gaze fell on the red booklet in Lin Yu's hand.She remembered that all the New Year's money they had received since childhood had been saved in a savings account by their parents.She withdrew the money from her savings account when she went to college and bought a new phone, a new tablet, and a new computer. She spent the rest of the money as living expenses.Lin Yu originally planned to withdraw the money to buy a new phone after she got into university, but she never expected to use it for this."Wait a minute, Lin Yu, did you bring your ID card?"Lin Yu, who was rushing forward, suddenly stopped. He grinned, showing off his perfectly white teeth, and said, "I forgot, sis, let's go back and get it now."Since she was going to the bank anyway, and her school wasn't far away, Lin Anran decided to go back to her school and take all the things she needed home.An hour later, they arrived at the bank.Because the money in the bankbook needs to be manually withdrawn, they have to take a lottery and wait in line.Of course, they weren't idle during the half hour they were waiting in line. They opened Taobao Farm, Pinlili, Jingxi, Weimeihui...Most basic daily necessities can be bought online.The price is not only affordable, but it also includes direct delivery to your door.I ordered 10,000 packs of toilet paper, each pack containing 60 rolls, from ten different vendors, for a total cost of 30,000 yuan.5,000 boxes of wet wipes, each box containing 10 large packs, were purchased from ten different vendors, costing a total of 15,000 yuan.3,000 packs of tissues, each pack divided into ten smaller packs, can be purchased directly from a single vendor for a discounted price of 10,000 yuan.5000 bags of laundry detergent...3000 barrels of laundry detergent...Looking at the nearly empty balance2688.96Lin Yu said worriedly, "Sister, we've only bought the basic supplies. There are still so many things we haven't bought yet. The money is being spent too fast!"Lin Anran stared at the balance on his phone, sighed, and ruffled his younger brother's fluffy hair."Don't worry, Lin Yu, we'll figure out a way if we run out of money. Besides, we still have our parents! We'll tell them tonight."The money in Lin Anran's phone is from Father Lin's monthly payments. Mother Lin would send her an extra 500 yuan each time, fearing she wouldn't have enough to spend at school.I saved quite a bit over my three years of university.In addition to the scholarships from three years and the money he usually spent on tutoring students, he had saved up nearly 100,000 yuan.This small shopping trip has almost used up all the money.But she wasn't heartbroken at all, since this was her source of income for the post-apocalyptic future."Ding-dong""Please proceed to counter number two to complete the formalities, number 045.""Sis! It's our turn!"The two put away their phones and walked towards the counter."What procedures do you need to complete?""Hello, I want to withdraw money. Here is my ID card and bankbook."Lin Yu handed the items to the teller."How much do you want?""Take out all the money, take out all the money.""Okay, sir, that's a total of 56,300 yuan. Do you want to withdraw it all?""Okay, take them all out.""Okay, please enter the password, sir.""good. ""After confirming that the amount is correct, please sign your name on the whiteboard.""OK.""Sir, here is your money and ID card. Please take them.""Okay, thank you, you've worked hard."Lin Yu took the money and stuffed it all into Lin Anran's bag, saying mysteriously, "Sis, this is all my savings! Oh! And take this 105 yuan. We need to start preparing properly."The wrinkled 105 yuan note struck a chord with Lin Anran."Okay! Let's work together."The two then went to school together, and by the time they finished packing and got home, it was already five or six o'clock.Looking at the time, her parents should be back soon.Lin Anran ordered hot pot ingredients from the flower-shaped platter: beef meatballs, fish balls, tofu skin, potatoes, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, baby bok choy...My dad's favorite foods are beef rolls and lamb rolls.My mom's favorite dish is duck blood.Lin Yu's favorite shrimp paste.Of course, there's also my favorite tripe.Almost forgot, the most important ingredient is the sesame sauce dipping sauce, with a touch of chopped chili peppers.
