Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "Please give me 200 tons of long-grain rice, medium- grain rice, and short-grain rice. Give me 150 tons of glutinous rice, black rice, brown rice, red rice, calmochi rice, and aromatic rice. I also want 100 tons of basmati rice, jasmine rice, Valencia rice, Arborio rice, parboiled rice, and wild rice."

Since the store also sells flour, she added, "Please give me 150 tons of all-purpose flour, wheat flour, corn flour, bread flour, gluten-free flour, buckwheat flour, oat flour, potato flour, rice flour, tapioca flour, sorghum flour, and glutinous rice flour."

"Also, 80 tons of chickpea flour, almond flour, gluten-free flour blends, spelt flour, rye flour, semolina flour, double zero flour, self-rising flour, instant flour, pastry flour, beans flour, and cake flour."

After she listed what she wanted, her store owner's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. Sensing his gaze, Yao Ran asked, "Is there any problem?"

The store owner came to his senses and said, "Miss, do you really want to buy so many grains?"

Yao Ran nodded, "Yes."

The store owner looked at her suspiciously, and Yao Ran added, "You can calculate the price first, and I will pay half as a deposit. I will pay the rest after you deliver the goods."

The store owner thought for a while and picked up the calculator. After calculating the price, he then showed Yao Ran the bill.

The store owner said, "The wholesale price for one kilogram of flour is 2.4 yuan. The total amount of rice and flour is 15.846.000 yuan. Since you bought more, I will give you a discount of 46,000 yuan."

Yao Ran glanced at the long bill and thought in surprise, 'These things only cost me fifteen million? Is grain so cheap now?'

After living at the end of the world for ten years, Yao Ran's understanding of standard commodity prices before the end of the world has changed. At the end of the world, everything will be paid for in gold bars or barter with other supplies.

Now, a kilogram of rice costs less than five yuan, and a kilogram of flour costs less than three yuan. If it were after the end of the world, then one kilogram of rice could be exchanged for at least two pounds of gold or exchanged for three kilograms of compressed biscuits.

Seeing that Yao Ran didn't speak, the store owner frowned and said, "Miss, if you don't want to buy, you can leave."

After coming back to her senses, Yao Ran took the bill from the store owner and asked, "What is your bank account? I will transfer seven million to you first, and then I will transfer you the rest after receiving the goods."

When the store owner heard this, he asked, "Do you really want to buy it?"

Yao Ran calmly said, "Yes."

The shop owner suddenly became happy and gave his bank account to Yao Ran.

After transferring seven million to him, Yao Ran gave him the address of the warehouse and said, "Please send the goods to this address."

"All right."

After Yao Ran left the grain store, she went to other grain stores and bought the same amount of rice and flour. When she left the last store, she had spent almost 100 million.

After buying enough rice and flour for several lifetimes, Yao Ran went to the edible oil store. When she saw that the store had a full range of edible oils, she walked up to the store owner and asked, "How do you sell the oils?"

The store owner smiled, "The wholesale price of edible oil is 16.4 yuan per kilogram. The prices of all kinds of edible oil are the same."

"Please give me two thousand barrels of each type."

The store owner has been dealing with big clients and was not surprised by Yao Ran's order. He calculated the price and handed the bill to Yao Ran. Seeing the total amount of 5.2 million yuan, Yao Ran transferred 2 million yuan to the store owner.

After paying the down payment, Yao Ran left the warehouse address and went to the grocery wholesale store to buy various seasonings and condiments.

Salt is an essential item that has become highly sought after in the post-apocalypse. However, with production lines disrupted, most things can no longer be produced after natural disasters hit the world. Seasonings and condiments, such as salt and sugar, can also be used later as hard currency.

Yao Ran walked into the store, planning to buy more. After checking the products in the store, she walked to the counter.

The store owner looked up from his account book and asked, "Miss, what do you want to buy?"

Yao Ran asked, "Boss, what is the price of salt?"

The store owner looked at her calm face and replied, "We have local salt and imported salt. The wholesale price of local salt is 2 yuan per kilogram, and the wholesale price of imported salt is 4 yuan per kilogram. Which salt do you want?"

Yao Ran thought for a second and said, "Boss, give me 200 tons of refined salt, kosher salt, sea salt, flakey salt, rock salt, pickling salt, and Himalayan pink salt. In addition, I also want 150 tons of black salt, seasoned salt, smoke salt, Celtic salt, Black Hawaiian salt, Red Hawaiian salt, and Fleur De Sel salt."

As soon as the store owner heard this, he knew that this was a big customer. He quickly picked up the pen and wrote down Yao Ran's order.

Seeing more than twenty kinds of beans on display, Yao Ran said, "Boss, give me 100 tons of each type of beans."

In addition to beans, she also saw nuts on display. There are more than 50 kinds of nuts in the store, including cashews, pistachios, pecans, almonds, macadamia nuts, peanuts, walnuts, etc. Nuts are a suitable replacement for grains, so Yao Ran decided to buy a lot of them.
