154: Two chatterboxes

Ling Zhaorui: "Sister Jiang, the teacher asked me to deliver agricultural machinery. My colleagues and I are almost at the community."

Su Liuyuan: "You called four times, but the captain didn't reply. He's probably busy."

"Brother, how long can you stay this time?"

Ling Zhaorui: "Once Sister Jiang inspects the machines and finds no problems, I'll have to return to the Planting Base."

"Then I won't go downstairs to see you. It's 40 degrees Celsius, too hot, and there's a sandstorm outside."

Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui began chatting back and forth without a moment's pause.

Jiang Fei, unable to bear it any longer, grabbed the walkie-talkie: "Shut up!"

So annoying!

Two blabbermouths!

Recalling Ling Zhaorui's words, Jiang Fei, who had lain back on her pillow, got up again, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and said to Ling Zhaorui:

"Wait for me at the community's back gate."

After turning off the walkie-talkie, Jiang Fei looked at the clock on the wall.

8:45

She was a poor, hardworking old ox, not destined for lie-ins.

Jiang Fei sighed as she washed and dressed, fed Dah yellow and the chicks and goslings on the balcony, put on her protective gear, and headed downstairs.

Five tow trucks were already parked at the back gate of the community.

On the flatbeds behind the tow trucks were agricultural machines like flour mills, purifiers, and bran removers, as well as 10 boxed air purifiers.

Ling Zhaorui got out of one of the cars: "Sister Jiang, the teacher said that black fish and river crabs are too precious, and it wouldn't be right for the Planting Base to only provide agricultural machinery, so we added 10 brand new air purifiers for your Boss."

"With the current sandstorms, the air quality isn't good. Your Boss can resell them or keep them for personal use."

"Where should I put the agricultural machines and purifiers for you?"

Jiang Fei: "Just leave them here. I'll find someone to collect them later. I'll go get your goods."

"My Boss sent a batch last night, which I hid. It's perfect for you to take back."

With that, Jiang Fei walked away.

Confirming that no one was nearby and Ling Zhaorui hadn't followed, Jiang Fei took out a cargo truck and entered the Supermarket.

She took 4 empty water buckets, filled them with 20 black fish from the pond, and then went upstairs to catch two buckets of river crabs.

Jiang Fei exited the Supermarket and loaded the 6 water buckets into the cargo truck's compartment.

Along with 300 bags of fruit and vegetable seeds.

She didn't forget to grab a few handfuls of sand from the ground and sprinkle them into the compartment, pretending that goods had been moved.

After finishing everything, Jiang Fei got in the car and ate breakfast.

Feeling that enough time had passed, she drove back to the community's back gate.

The driver's seat of the tow truck could hold water buckets.

Ling Zhaorui's colleagues were responsible for moving them.

When they saw the lively black fish in the buckets, everyone smiled, but not because they would have fish to eat in the future.

As long as the black fish and river crabs could be successfully farmed, the survivors in the Safety Shelter would have another layer of security!

The hope for humanity's survival also grew stronger!

Everyone moved cautiously, afraid of bumping the buckets.

Jiang Fei found Ling Zhaorui, who had just finished unloading the agricultural machinery, and quietly asked: "Are you familiar with Mr. Shang?"

"What kind of person is he?"

Ling Zhaorui: "Mr. Shang is one year my senior; he's my upperclassman. He's a good person and usually takes the initiative to help colleagues in need. He doesn't abuse his status as a second-generation official either."

"His father is Shang Guangwang, the Chief Captain of our Safety Shelter's patrol team."

"Sister Jiang, you know Mr. Shang?"

"I ran into him at the Planting Base that day." Jiang Fei told Ling Zhaorui about Dao Rong's strange reaction.

After listening, Ling Zhaorui frowned and said: "Xiao Rong and I don't work in the same area, so I really haven't noticed these things."

"I'll keep an eye on it when I go back this time."

Mr. Shang had a good reputation at the Planting Base, but he believed Sister Jiang wouldn't lie to him.

If Sister Jiang suspected something, then there must be a problem!

After loading the fish, crabs, and seeds, Ling Zhaorui and the others drove away in the tow trucks.

It wasn't until the tow trucks disappeared from sight that Jiang Fei collected all the agricultural machinery and purifiers into the Supermarket warehouse.

She checked the time on her phone: eleven-thirty.

Crippled Wang and his crew would be here soon.

Jiang Fei didn't go upstairs; she retrieved 6 military large trucks.

Three trucks were loaded with 200 river crabs, 300 black fish, 1000 green shrimp, and 100 boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables.

The other three were filled with various dried medicinal herbs.

The river crabs hadn't started breeding yet, so Jiang Fei dared not give too many to Crippled Wang's side.

For the two Ping An stores to reopen, attracting customers with just black fish wasn't enough; live river crabs were also needed.

Other aquatic products would be gradually introduced later when opportunities arose.

Green shrimp, black fish, and river crabs were already conspicuous enough.

The sandstorm outside was strong, so Jiang Fei got into a truck to wait.

At 11:50, two vans drove up.

Crippled Wang got out with his subordinates.

Yao Damang also came over: "Boss Jiang, I heard from Boss Wang that we're picking up goods today, so I came to join the fun."

"All the goods are in the truck compartments; you can drive off later."

Jiang Fei jumped off the truck and handed 6 sets of car keys to Crippled Wang.

Opening the compartment door of a random truck to check, Crippled Wang subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

"Holy cow! Live river crabs?!"

Looking at another compartment, Crippled Wang's eyes nearly popped out.

"Lingzhi, ginseng, deer antler, bird's nest... Boss, your Boss is amazing!"

Crippled Wang hastily closed the compartment door.

These were all treasures! They couldn't be exposed to the sandstorm!

Yao Damang's eyes crinkled into a smile: "With these items, we'll definitely make a fortune in the Safety Shelter!"

"Oh, and Boss, the door for the Ping An Branch has been installed, and I've replaced all the shelves, water tanks, and freezers inside with new ones for you."

Crippled Wang handed Jiang Fei the new keys to the store: "Where should we send the gold we earn?"

Jiang Fei calculated the date: "Today is the 27th. Starting next month, on the 15th of each month, you'll send the gold to Ping An Supermarket."

"Su Liuyuan will help me store it."

"If any goods are running low, let me know three days in advance."

"Remember to have Yao Jin come back to work."

The hostage had to be in her hands.

Yao Damang readily agreed: "I'll send him and Niu Er to the store later!"

The vans couldn't hold so many goods, so Jiang Fei temporarily lent the trucks to Crippled Wang and Yao Damang.

After they drove off, Jiang Fei drove the SUV, which was parked at Building 2, to the back gate.

Immediately after, she took out 50 black fish, 50 river crabs, 20 boxes of dried vegetables and mushrooms, and 20 boxes of cured meats, loading them into the cargo truck's compartment.

She used the walkie-talkie to notify Su Liuyuan to bring Jiang Zhengkang downstairs to the store.

Soon, a few people arrived, wearing protective gear.

Lu Yu also came.

"My arm doesn't hurt anymore, and it's boring being home alone. I'll go to the store with you all; I can even help out."

"It's inconvenient for you to get into the cargo truck, so ride in my car."

Jiang Fei got into the SUV.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment but still got into the passenger seat.

Su Liuyuan and the others followed in the cargo truck.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Fei drove very slowly this time, and Lu Yu didn't feel any bumps throughout the journey.

Was his neighbor being considerate of his health? Lu Yu's mind wandered.

Upon arriving at the Ping An Branch, Jiang Fei got out and used the key to open the door.

Crippled Wang had replaced the door with a thicker iron one than before.

The dust in the store had been cleared, and new shelves, water tanks, freezers, etc., were in their original places.

Damaged goods were packed into cardboard boxes and stacked in a corner.

Intact goods were displayed on the shelves.

Jiang Fei and her team only needed to arrange the new stock.

Su Liuyuan and the others were responsible for moving.

Seeing the live fish and crabs in the truck compartment, their reactions were similar to Crippled Wang's; everyone's eyes widened in shock.

Lu Yu wasn't as exaggerated as them, but his eyes couldn't hide his surprise.

What kind of important person was the neighbor's Boss, who could sell live aquatic products in a time of scarce resources?

Could it be... the young master of the Mo family that she had mentioned?

Although curious about Jiang Fei's Boss behind the scenes, Lu Yu didn't inquire, and began arranging goods with everyone.

Su Liuyuan: "Captain, the packaging bags for those dried vegetables and mushrooms are broken, and they're full of sand and dirt. How should we handle them?"

"Put them next to the cash register and sell them at a bargain price."

No sooner had Jiang Fei finished speaking than the store door was pushed open.

Yao Jin walked in with a stern face.

Niu Er pushed two large suitcases, and three more boxes were on the ground outside.

Jiang Zhengkang went over to help move them: "Why did you bring so much stuff?"

Yao Jin was both angry and wronged: "My father doesn't want me anymore!"
