108: Lu Yu is omnipotent

Facts proved that Su Liuyuan's worries were unnecessary.

Xu Yichen was beaten black and blue, lying unconscious on the floor of the small warehouse, like a dead dog.

Jiang Fei put a sack over him, and together with Su Liuyuan, moved him into the back of the pickup truck, also placing the gold earned today onto the vehicle.

Driving to an unpopulated area, Jiang Fei kicked Xu Yichen out of the car and then retrieved the gold.

System: [Ding—Detected gold: 14000 grams]

[Ding—Congratulations to the Host for successfully unlocking the first area on the third floor of the Supermarket: [Dried Goods Category—Dried Fruit and Roasted Nut Area]. Gold needed to unlock the next area: 1,024,000 grams]

[Current gold: 9293 grams]

[Bonus reward: One spin of the Lucky Wheel. Does the Host wish to use it?]

"Yes."

A strange sound, resembling bones clashing, rang out—

[Ding—Please Host, keep up the good work! Acquired "Family Compendium"]

A flash of white light, and a loud clang came from the back of the pickup truck.

A rocking horse in the shape of a large white sheep appeared.

It was very similar to the cartoon rocking horses found in malls before, where you could hear "Daddy's daddy is grandpa" after inserting a coin.

[Hint: Insert a coin to use the "Family Compendium" rocking horse. Learn family titles accompanied by melodious children's songs.]

[Please do not press the red button on the white sheep's head, otherwise the "Brat Mode" will activate, and the person sitting on it will be unable to get off. They will need to rock 999 times to deactivate this mode, which can easily cause dizziness and vomiting~ Your brains might spill out~]

Jiang Fei: "..."

She really wanted to tie the System to it and let it rock until it fell apart.

Thoughts aside, Jiang Fei put the rocking horse into the Supermarket warehouse and used her mind to check the third floor.

Unlike the first and second floors, the center of the third floor had an unmovable circular platform.

The platform was about 5 centimeters high, and its area was large enough to fit a sports car.

What was this thing for?

To stand on it and direct traffic? To place things for decoration?

Unable to figure it out, Jiang Fei first looked at the area where the white mist had dissipated.

There were a total of 5 extra-long double-sided shelves and 5 counters of the same length.

On the shelves were vacuum-packed macadamia nuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, cashews, hazelnuts, pine nuts, roasted rice, peanuts, apricot kernels, sunflower seeds, watermelon seeds, and other nuts and roasted goods.

Each type of nut and roasted good was further divided into different flavors.

For example, peanuts came in spicy, five-spice, garlic, original, honey, and other flavors.

On the counters were vacuum-packed dried fruits like raisins, dried apples, dried longans, dried dates, dried apricots, dried strawberries, dried pineapples, dried peaches, and so on.

Each bag weighed about 200 grams.

Jiang Fei randomly took out a bag of dried fruit to taste; it was dried strawberries.

It had a strong strawberry aroma, a sweet and sour taste, and the fruit was chewy but not dry or hard.

There were no additives, preserving the original flavor of the strawberries.

As expected of Supermarket products!

The quality was many times better than what was sold outside!

Taking out two large cardboard boxes, one filled with nuts and roasted goods, and the other with dried fruits, Jiang Fei drove to Building 5 of Mingshang Apartment Complex.

Grandma Xu loved dried fruits and roasted goods, but the Safety Shelter rarely sold them, so she decided to bring some to her.

Jiang Fei carried the two boxes upstairs and knocked on the door of 201.

"Grandma Xu, it's me, Jiang Fei."

The door opened quickly.

Xu Qianyao was at work and hadn't returned yet, so only Old Mrs. Xu was home.

"Oh my, you're here, my dear, why did you bring things?"

Not wanting Old Mrs. Xu to feel burdened, Jiang Fei made up a lie: "Someone sent me too much, and I don't have space at home, so I brought some for Grandma to eat."

"I'll head back now."

"Wait, Little Jiang!" Old Mrs. Xu returned to her room and brought out a red cloth pouch.

Inside were 5 small red good luck charms.

"I heard Qian Yao say that you and your friends have joined official work. It's so chaotic outside now, you must be careful."

"Grandma isn't capable, I only know how to do needlework, so I embroidered these good luck charms for you all. Wear them for safety."

"I originally wanted Qian Yao to deliver them tonight, but since you're here, take them back and distribute them to your friends."

"Thank you, Grandma." Jiang Fei took the red cloth pouch and went downstairs to her car.

She inadvertently caught a glimpse in the rearview mirror of Old Mrs. Xu standing on the second-floor balcony, watching her.

Her reluctant expression was inexplicably a little heartbreaking.

Xu Qianyao was the captain of the Rescue Team and was busy with work, unable to accompany Grandma Xu. The TV had no signal, so she stayed home alone.

She was old and couldn't see the words in books clearly anymore.

Using the car seat for cover, Jiang Fei took out 5 packs of home-growable seeds from the Supermarket warehouse and went upstairs.

Old Mrs. Xu, who had been watching her, opened the door: "Little Jiang, why are you back?"

"I forgot something. These are seeds, Grandma, you can plant them at home."

"You can eat what grows, or sell them to Ping An Supermarket. I buy fresh fruits and vegetables."

To prevent Old Mrs. Xu from refusing, Jiang Fei turned and ran before the other party could speak.

Old Mrs. Xu, standing rooted, felt both helpless and warm-hearted.

Seeds were so precious, yet Little Jiang gave them to her just like that.

Silly child...

Jiang Fei returned to 302 in Building 2, took out 4 bags, and began packing sun-protective clothing, sunscreen, sun umbrellas, desensitizing cream, sunglasses, hats, and other sun protection items, as well as 4 boxes of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

The weather would get hotter and hotter.

Xiao Hua Lao and the others walked to and from work every day, some even working outdoors. They could easily get sunburned or tanned if not careful, so protection was essential.

After packing the supplies for 4 people, Ling Zhaorui returned, carrying 10 small flowerpots.

"Sister Jiang, Director Ning asked me to bring these herbs."

Ling Zhaorui moved all the flowerpots into the house, looking curious: "One of these herbs is my teacher's favorite. There are only 7 plants in total at the Planting Base. How did you convince Director Ning to give you one?"

"The officials and my behind-the-scenes boss made a deal." Jiang Fei briefly explained, then handed the supplies and the red cloth pouch to Ling Zhaorui.

"Later, you take these and distribute them to everyone. The good luck charms were embroidered by Grandma Xu, one for each person. Remember to carry them with you."

"I've been busy recently and might not be home. If there's an emergency, contact me via walkie-talkie. If you can't reach me, find Lu Yu."

Teammates were omnipotent!

Ling Zhaorui left with the items, Jiang Fei closed the door, put the 10 pots of herbs into the Supermarket warehouse, and then entered the Supermarket herself.

The 101 herbs planted previously had successfully propagated through rhizomes, growing into 303 plants.

Including the original ones, there were a total of 404 plants.

Jiang Fei glanced at the herbs Ling Zhaorui had brought.

Half of them could be propagated by rhizomes, while the rest needed to be propagated by leaf cuttings.

Clipping the leaves, stems, etc., of a plant, inserting them into soil or soaking them in water, and once they root, they can be planted to grow into independent new plants.

Soaking was too troublesome, so Jiang Fei chose to insert them directly into the Supermarket's soil.

The rest were for rhizome propagation.

Finding rhizomes with buds was a meticulous task that strained the eyes.

After searching for a while, Jiang Fei's eyes became dry and uncomfortable, so she took out the magnifying glass she had made last time for planting herbs.

It was made from empty plastic water bottles; two circular pieces were cut, water was injected in the middle and then sealed, creating a simple and convenient magnifying glass.

After planting the 10 pots of herbs, Jiang Fei once again propagated the existing herbs by rhizomes.

This time, she cut 6 roots from each plant, expecting to harvest over two thousand herbs in the future.

Since no one would disturb her, Jiang Fei ate and slept in the Supermarket, making popsicles during her rest time.

When she previously collected kitchenware and tableware, she collected many molds, which were perfect for freezing popsicles.

Without suitable wooden sticks, she carved her own from wood.

Then she cut some watermelon, apples, and pears, and put them into the molds.

Popsicles frozen this way were beautiful, delicious, and could even fetch a good price!

After being busy for half a month, Jiang Fei exited the Supermarket.

All the herbs were planted; she just had to wait for new plants to grow!

Seeing that it was 9:00 PM, Su Liuyuan should be back. Jiang Fei planned to go to 305 to ask him about the recruitment.

As soon as she opened the door, her breath hitched.
