Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5 - Stockpile

First, she goes to the biggest wholesale market in the country; even her supermarket's goods come from here.

Then, she finds the shop that is the largest grain wholesaler. After entering, she looks around and finds that there are not many people, since it is still early in the morning.

She walks towards the man behind the counter and says, "Hello, I would like to buy 500 tons of wheat flour, 500 tons of refined flour, 500 tons of chickpea flour, 500 tons of semolina, 500 tons of rice in all types, and 500 tons of sugar and salt, all of the best quality."

The shop manager, who was checking his accounts, looks at her with stunned eyes. "Sir, are you sure? Is this some kind of a prank?"

Ruhi says in a serious voice, "Yes, I am not joking. I am buying this because I want to open a supermarket."

"Oh," he says, looking suspicious, and lets her scrutinize him. She had already changed her look so that even people who know her wouldn't recognize her. In her previous life, because she was a girl, she was always bullied, so she learned the art of disguise from another girl who was also like her, but she was an assassin before that. Ruhi had wanted to connect with her, but she didn't know where she was now. She had already turned herself into a middle-aged man. 

After seeing that she is serious, he says, "Alright." Then, after calculating, he says, "Your total cost of the order: ₹ 13,85,00,00,000 (One Hundred Thirty-Eight Crore Fifty Lakh). Advance payment required: ₹ 69,25,00,000 (Sixty-Nine Crore Twenty-Five Lakh). Final payment upon delivery: ₹ 69,25,00,000 (Sixty-Nine Crore Twenty-Five Lakh)."

After paying and leaving the warehouse address, she leaves.

Before coming here, she had already booked a warehouse. It's in a remote outer area that had become deserted after a new area was built, so she could easily send the supplies into her space. She also hired temporary workers to check the quality and manage the warehouse. 

Next, she goes to a spices shop, where she orders 1,000 tons of all available spices like turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and coriander powder, mustard seeds, garam masala, chaat masala, asafoetida, and all other things available in the store.

Then she goes to an oil store and orders a full one hundred thousand barrels of all top-grade oils: mustard oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, clarified butter, etc.

Then she goes to dry fruit and nut shops, where she buys one hundred thousand tons of cashews, almonds, pistachios, dates, walnuts, peanuts, etc.

Then she buys one hundred thousand tons of all types of lentils. Her favorite is pigeon pea, so she specially orders an extra one thousand tons of it.

Then she buys preserved and perishable foods, like pickles: mango, lemon, chili, ginger, garlic, and mix—all five hundred thousand boxes.

She also buys luxury items like tea and coffee. She buys one hundred thousand boxes of tea and coffee, all kinds of jams like mixed fruit jam, peanut butter, mango jam, etc., and also all kinds of sauces like tomato, green chilli, coriander chutney, mint chutney, coconut chutney, peanut chutney, tamarind chutney, onion chutney, gongura chutney, and garlic chutney. Then, in a snack area, a glance reveals a dazzling array of snacks: various potato chips, kurkure, different snacks, chocolate, ice cream, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Maaza, Frooti, and so on. Also, five hundred thousand different types of biscuits and instant noodles.

If these were put outside, they could open more than a dozen snack shops.

Besides these things, Ruhi also buys daily necessities like soap, shampoo, conditioner, sanitary pads in all sizes and types, hair clips, hair rubber bands, keychains, etc.

Besides this, she also bought a lot of seeds, all that were available in the store.

Then she goes to the fruit and vegetable market and orders all the vegetables and fruits that are available at that time.

After buying all of this, she hired a special manager to handle everything from shipment to warehouse checks, instructing him to leave after nightfall since she had already told him that someone else would come to pick up the goods.

By the time Ruhi finished everything, it was already evening and her stomach was growling with hunger. She went to the closest restaurant and ordered one plate of tomato paratha with curd.

After some time, her order came. When she took the first bite, she was stunned. It was filled with flavor. The soft paratha with cold curd felt amazing. This was the best paratha she had eaten till now.

After eating, she ordered 1,000 plates of paratha to be made daily with different stuffings like paneer paratha, aloo paratha, gobi paratha, etc., as this shop sells the best paratha in the city.

Hearing such a big order, even the restaurant manager came out and looked at Riya in surprise. "Sir, are you sure you want that much?"

"Yes, I am sure. It's for my company employees," she said, and also paid the advance.

After seeing the money, he nodded. "Okay, sir."

After leaving the restaurant, she finally felt relief, having totally forgotten that she was disguised as a man. Then she went home and fell asleep. *Today's day was quite hectic*, she thought.
