Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Buying Livestock

Grace and Aleena left for Silkshire very early in the morning since it was over two hours long drive. By the time they arrived at the town, it was already half past eight.

Silkshire Town was known for its business of livestock – the main reason Grace decided to purchase the livestock from here. But there was another big reason – the fishing village that was located at a distance of only half an hour drive from Silkshire.

They made their way through the already bustling town, heading toward the biggest farmhouse that was famous for its high quality livestock.

“Are you here for business purpose or to visit the farmhouse?” The guard asked when their car arrived at the entrance.

“We are here to buy livestock.” Aleena answered and the guard called someone on his phone. Merely a moment later, he was informing them. “Sorry for making you wait. You can head inside now. One of the employees will meet you at the parking lot on the left.”

And then, he opened the huge iron gates, allowing them entrance into the farmhouse. Just like he told them, a woman in her mid-thirties was already waiting for them in the parking lot.

“I was notified that you are here to buy livestock. What do you want to buy?” She asked politely in a professional tone.

“There’s a lot we want to buy as we have recently purchased a farmhouse of our own. We will be buying almost everything.” Grace replied and the woman nodded her head in understanding.

She appeared thoughtful for a moment before suggesting, “How about this – I can give you a tour of all the animals available here while explaining about their breeds and their prices? You can tell me if you felt like buying them.”

Grace nodded her head in approval before adding, “Sounds good to me. Please lead the way.”

The three then headed deeper into the farmhouse that was stretched across miles. After walking for about ten minutes and passing through several fruit orchards, they arrived at a chicken coop.

“We have both egg layers and dual-purpose breeds.” The employee started providing information about the chicken along with their prices.

“I want twenty females of each breed and seven males of each breed.” Grace placed the order after considering it with 2025. The environment inside the Infinte Realm was perfect for any kind of living being, or even non-living being, to thrive there.

The employee noted down the order before they headed toward the Duck coop. Since they had both breeds for eggs and meat, Grace placed the same order as for the chickens.

Her next order was for goats. She bought ten females and four male goats. The same order went for sheep, cattle, pigs, rabbits, quail, guinea fowl, turkeys, geese, donkeys, horses, and camels.

Their final stop was the bee farmhouse and Grace placed an order for honey bees as well. Not only that but once she learned the farmhouse also sold products like eggs, meat, milk, and honey collected from the livestock,she decided to take a look.

She ended up buying 50,000 eggs of chicken, duck, and geese. She also purchased 10,000 fertilized eggs of each one of these three, and then a lot of fresh meat. Lastly, she bought 10,000 jars of pure honey, each of 1kg.

Though Grace hated wasting time, money, and resources in transporting the livestock and the goods to a warehouse, she barely had any other option. But thankfully, she was promised that the delivery would be made by that very evening.

Finishing their business at the Farmhouse, Grace and Aleena headed to the fishing village.

“We will be done with our purchases by noon. What are your plans after that, Boss?” Aleena asked as she navigated the way to the fishing village.

“Though we bought most of the agriculture related supplies yesterday, we still have to buy the machines and equipment. Let’s take care of it this afternoon so that we can head to Mapleton as early as possible tomorrow.” Grace informed Aleena who nodded her head in understanding.

Half an hour later, they were making their way through the bustling main village street. The smell of sea and seafood attacked their noses as they stepped out of the car and headed toward the huge boats and fishing ships that were docked at the coast, selling seafood.

Grace had already bought canned seafood, but there was still a lot she needed to buy. She bought tuna, salmon, sardines, trout, anchovies, mackerel, catfish, shrimp, crab, clams and other fresh seafood.

Then she bought dried seafood, smoked seafood, frozen seafood, pickled seafood, fish jerky, freeze-dried seafood, shellfish in pouches, and seaweed.

Finally, she bought different types of fishes, shrimps, and others for livestock. The order was promised to be delivered by coming morning, and with that, Grace completed her business in the fishing village.

She and Aleena returned to meet Maven and had lunch before they headed out to buy the machinery for agriculture. She bought tractors, plows, harrows, rotavators, subsoilers, cultivators, seeds drills, transplanters, broadcast seeders, precision planters, irrigation pumps, sprinklers, drips, fertilizer spreader, sprayers, manure spreaders.

Weeders, pruning tools and machines, mowers, combine harvesters, forage harvesters, diggers, bale wrappers, threshers, winnowers, grain dryers, feed mills, mixers, grain mills, trailers, and so on.

After placing all the remaining orders and making the downpayment, Grace arrived at the warehouse to receive the delivery from the Farmhouse and then shifted all the received goods inside the space. The three of them took a break for the rest of the evening and went to a restaurant to enjoy a nice dinner.

“Are we heading to Mapleton tomorrow?” Maven asked as he filled a bowl with nourishing chicken soup for Grace and placed it in front of her.

“Thank you.” Grace thanked him first before answering his question. “We will stay here to receive the delivery of goods from the fishing village and the machine factory. After that, we will fly to Mapleton.”

“Are we going to buy more supplies there?” Aleena asked and noticed as a smile curled the corners of Grace’s lips as the latter answered – “Of course.”
