Chapter 14 Finding Deficiencies and Filling Leaks
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 China and the other side of the ocean ended in a hurry with Daxia's initiative to make concessions.

According to the memorandum of understanding signed by the two countries, Daxia promised to increase imports of goods and services by at least 2 trillion yuan.

Especially on the issue of agricultural products, Daxia once again signed a huge agricultural product purchase contract worth about 700 billion yuan.

In the whole of 2021, Daxia has imported about 4000 billion yuan of agricultural products from the other side of the ocean.

That is to say, in just over a year, Daxia has imported a total of about 4700 billion yuan of farm products from the other side of the ocean, and the total amount is almost 3 million tons.

Among them, soybeans alone exceeded 4000 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 rebirth, he was very moved by the generosity of the other side of the ocean.

In the previous life, if the other party hadn't frantically forced Daxia to buy its domestic agricultural products, the difficulties Daxia encountered would probably have increased tenfold.

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 helped Da Xia a big favor.

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

After reading this news, Xu Dong swiped the comment area, and it turned out to be a wailing sound.

Topping the likes list is this comment:
"Remember:
Summer Grain Brand: Huilinmen
Summer grain storage brand: Tie Ding
Please give priority to the purchase of 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 has exceeded [-] million. To be honest, Xu Dong was a little shocked.

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

……

Life will continue, and national affairs will be put aside for the time being. Xu Dong intends to conduct a statistics on the entire warehouse.

Statistics have two purposes, one is to know what you know, and the other is to check for deficiencies and fill omissions.

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

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

This is no small problem, with three babies at home, they can't eat cold food.

The solution is very simple. Xu Dong specially bought several alcohol stoves and hoarded several hundred kilograms of solid alcohol, making three barrels.

Solar flares can damage electrical equipment, but they definitely don't affect alcohol burning.

Second, he stocked up on commonly used medicines, but forgot to buy vitamin tablets, not health supplements, but the kind that a pharmacy bought 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, and the human body lacks vitamin C, which will lead to a decline in immunity, and may eventually become ill.

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

Third, there is the issue of drinking water.

The future sources of drinking water will mainly come from 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 requirements for water quality may not be so strict.

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

This problem is also easy to solve. Xu Dong purchased ten water dispensers directly on the Internet, and there are hundreds of boxes of spare filter elements, enough to be used for more than ten years.

Fourth, a dog and a cat are missing.

After the catastrophe, although the general security situation in Daxia is good, there will be more and more petty thefts, and the crime rate of vicious cases will also skyrocket, so you 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 for rodent protection, and in the early days of drought, rodent infestation can be severe until hungry people eat up the rats.

Even later, a factory specializing in raising meat mice was born. After all, mice have a short breeding cycle, are not picky about food, and have low breeding costs.

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

On weekends, Xu Dong led the Coco sisters to the pet market.

After selection, he finally bought a half-sized wolf dog and a just-adult "second-hand" raccoon cat.

They were chosen for no other reason than because of their strong hunting ability, easy feeding, and not being picky about food.

You can't keep a dog food for more than ten years just to keep a dog!

As for the problem that large dogs can't get a dog license, one word is procrastination, and it won't be a problem until the next year.

When he got home, Xu Dong ordered a wooden dog house and cat litter on the Internet.

Coco children named the wolf dog "Mark", probably from TV.

Lele got the right to name the raccoon cat and named it "Huahua", which may be because the cat has too many patterns.

Also, both Mark and Hua Hua are male.

Now back to the topic.

There is one last thing missing from the reserve list, and the last thing that should not be missed, that is masks.

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

Second, in order 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 is very harmful to infants and young children. Masks are even more indispensable at this time.

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

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

One hundred boxes are enough for five or six years. When this batch of masks is used up or expired, you can still go to the hospital to buy them. Hard to buy does not mean that you can't buy them.

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

At this point, 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: 600 tons

Emergency food: 10 packs
Rice: 30 tons

Multigrain/local products: about 48 tons

Wheat: 10 tons

Xu Dong stored this list in his computer, and he was not very embarrassed, and hoped that his future life would really be as he thought.
