Essentials You Should Always Stock Up On
In practical terms, here's what you should stock up on:
1. An essential first-aid kit (common medications, a thermometer, and any prescription meds for family members)
2. For food, two 5-liter containers of cooking oil, 50 jin of rice or flour as staple carbs, and 2–3 sets of seasonings are enough to cover about a month.
There's really no need to hoard vegetables and such. Trust the supply chain, and remember that basic staples and seasonings can still make decent meals—各种面食, fried rice, and other simple dishes will easily see you through special circumstances.
Vegetables and similar items are optional; only stock them if you want. Keep in mind that during an emergency, survival matters more than enjoying good food.
In other words,
The fewer dependencies you have, the stronger your survival skills become.
In a game, if you want to stay alive longer and be the one to collect others' loot, the key trait is consistency. I don't take any risky moves, and I don't make mistakes.
