Chapter 26: Chapter 22: Medicine Field and Marketplace_2

After planting everything, he felt relieved. Noticing some movement from Mrs. Gu outside, he stepped out.

After Gu Chengyu drank his milk outside, he returned to the space, planning to organize everything today in one go. This way, he could learn more about the space. Seeing that the medicinal field was sorted, Gu Chengyu began organizing his marketplace.

This marketplace was built before the apocalypse in his past life. It hadn’t yet opened, and the opening was chosen to be the day after the apocalypse. All the goods were prepared, ready for the next day’s opening, but who knew the apocalypse would strike that night.

The mall building is huge, covering a vast area, with several floors. The basement is a garage and warehouse. The first floor houses gold jewelry, accessories, and cosmetics counters. The second and third floors are supermarkets; the fourth is various brand women’s clothing and shoes; the fifth is men’s clothing and shoes; the sixth is children’s clothing and baby products; the seventh is sports and outdoor goods; the eighth is a food court; the ninth is a library; and the tenth is car sales.

In his previous life, Gu Chengyu only used his mind to fetch some food, clothing, and supplies from the market outside. Although he could sense everything in the storage space, it wasn’t as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes. Entering the first floor and seeing the sparkling jewelry in the glass counters, he skipped it directly. He couldn’t help it, having seen too much in the warehouse earlier, he was immune. He couldn’t use cosmetics now, so he headed straight to the second floor.

The second floor was much richer; it was full of food. Back then, he only took some ordinary food. Most of the rice, flour, and vegetables had been eaten. The space had a preservation function, so the remaining vegetables were still fresh. He didn’t take many cooking seasonings because, after all, he couldn’t be too particular in the apocalypse, and some things were also not convenient to take out. He ate a lot of frozen meat too, and later, when he joined a team, he took out quite a bit as well.

As for the snacks, they were basically untouched, with the shelves still full, only some chocolates were taken. Ah! Having too many things was worrisome; he couldn’t finish them all, and some things couldn’t be taken out in this era. The third floor was for daily necessities, which he could use eventually. But he only dared to use them quietly.

The corridors on the fourth and fifth floors were filled with many things, which were casually tossed in when passing by fabric and garment factories during tasks at that time. They were mostly fabrics, clothes that wore out quickly in the apocalypse, with fabrics, he could make clothes later, so he also threw in two sewing machines.

There was a lot of fabric, including quite a bit of cotton, which would be useful later. Chiffon and lace might not be of much use, but the bags of down feather compressed linings were good. They would be handy in winter when it came time to put them in clothes, as in the ancient times, there were only fox furs and pelts for warmth.

He moved all these fabrics to the warehouse under the wooden building and placed them together with the precious fabrics. Cotton was still practical, and before the Gu Family fully prospered, it would be usable. As for those clothes, he couldn’t wear them, so they would go to waste.

The baby products on the sixth floor were suitable for him now. Mrs. Gu was around thirty when she had him in ancient times, not considered young, and her milk wasn’t very abundant. Plus, even eggs were considered meaty food, so how could she really fully nourish her body? When he gets older, he would probably have to sneak into the space to fill his stomach. Baby bottles and formula might be of great use.

The eighth floor had a lot of food, all prepared, hot pot, specialty dishes, ingredients, food, and cold drinks; snacks hadn’t been touched, and they were just ingredients, nothing ready-made, except for the marinated and cooked salted flavors.

Going up to the ninth floor, he saw books neatly categorized and placed. These were treasures! Other things would be used up, but these wouldn’t be. Many of them could be useful for him later. The Gu Family was poor; before the gold and silver in the space were fully developed, they couldn’t be taken out, as it wouldn’t be explainable! But books were different, the food and supplies inside were not from this era, and weren’t secret recipes popular in ancient times? Teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish, it also has an origin, it wouldn’t easily arouse suspicion. Of course, still, before having a solid foundation, important secret recipes couldn’t be revealed, like glass, printing?

He thought it would be better to move these books to the study, not all of them could be moved, as the study wouldn’t fit them all. Shelves had to be installed on the other side of the study wall, placing all the useful books there. In time, he would go to the mountains to see what wood was available and cut some to make shelves.

In the past life, many people struggled all their life without being able to afford a good car. When the apocalypse came, cars lost their value, found everywhere on the streets, just without gasoline. With fuel being scarce, later it was all controlled by powerful forces, and ordinary people couldn’t afford to start them.

The tenth floor was full of brand-new cars, many of which were foreign brands. They were things Gu Chengyu, in his past life, didn’t dare to even think about but now couldn’t use either. However, it wasn’t all about cars. There were also two specialty stores for branded bicycles and mountain bikes, which he didn’t know if he could use in the future.

Gu Chengyu moved to the market warehouse and looked again. Everything was full, untouched. Had he known he would travel through time, he’d have taken everything out for everyone to enjoy. Leaving it to him was wasteful; it wasn’t needed in this era. It could only be left in the space.

After lamenting, Gu Chengyu decided to go to the mountain to cut wood for making wooden frames first. Upon reaching the distant mountain peak, it was no wonder all the wooden furniture in the space was made of precious wood; the mountain was full of it. Yellow Flower Pear Wood, red sandalwood trees, golden silk nanmu, rosewood trees, etc., these precious woods had covered the mountain, growing tall and strong for who knows how many years within this space.
