184: Dog Leg Set

Jiang Fei slammed on the brakes.

The truck stopped just in front of the person blocking the road, barely avoiding a collision.

The person, scared, collapsed onto the ground.

"If you want to die, go somewhere else. Don't block my way."

Jiang Fei rolled down the window and said coldly, about to drive around the person.

"Wait!"

The person in the protective suit scrambled to their feet, took off their hat, revealing a face Jiang Fei was familiar with.

It was Cao Xingying, who had once gone with her to investigate Huaiyuan Village.

"I'm sorry, Sister Jiang, my mom told me I had to wait for you. I was afraid you wouldn't hear me if I shouted, so I used this method."

Cao Xingying bowed in apology.

Jiang Fei: "Your mother is?"

"Cao Xiuhong, the owner of the grain and oil store. I'm guarding the back door, and she's guarding the front door."

"My mom doesn't have any other intentions; she just wants to talk to Sister Jiang face-to-face. It won't take up too much of your time."

That plump woman was actually Cao Xingying's mother.

It's a small world indeed.

"I'll go to the front door to find your mother."

With that, Jiang Fei started the car and drove around to the main entrance of the community.

She immediately saw Cao Xiuhong squatting at the intersection, taking off her mask to eat bread.

Few people came out now, and the officials often sent people to disinfect everywhere, making the streets relatively safe.

Jiang Fei stopped the car and poked her head out: "Your daughter said you wanted to see me."

"Boss Jiang!" Cao Xiuhong stopped eating her bread, put on her mask, and ran to the truck, saying directly:

"I want to cooperate with you and sell protective supplies from you."

"Don't worry, I'm not selling to ordinary survivors to make a quick buck. I plan to sell to the owners of various shops; they have plenty of money."

"Jiang Zhengkang didn't understand what I meant yesterday, thinking I would only offer supplies as payment and not gold, which is why I came to Mingshang to wait for you, wanting to talk to you in person."

Hearing there was gold, Jiang Fei's patience increased: "How much can you offer?"

"The store price is 10 grams of gold per item. I can offer three to five times that, and I'll take 70% of the earned supplies."

Cao Xiuhong nervously clutched her sleeves.

She was a local of Qingyang City and owned a grain and oil store before the apocalypse.

Thanks to the protection measures taken by the officials in advance, she managed to save most of her assets during various disasters and was able to open a store to sell goods after the apocalypse.

She exchanged grains and cooking oil for other supplies.

But the Safety Shelter had no electricity, and most survivors' homes had pedal-powered generators.

Solar panels had long been damaged by sandstorms and rainy days.

Everyone who wanted to cook a pot of rice had to continuously pedal the generator, and by the time the rice was cooked, they were almost exhausted.

As for boiling food, it was hot, and grains took a long time to cook, making noodles more convenient.

Diesel was a scarce commodity, and very few people had diesel generators.

As a result, her business had been slow for a long time.

Hearing that Jiang Fei was the owner of two Ping An stores, she decided to discuss cooperation.

It wasn't easy to be a divorced mother with a daughter; she had no one to rely on and couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

Relying solely on the grain and oil store wasn't enough; she needed to find another way out.

The key was that the first time she met Jiang Fei, she asked for 10 catties of cured meat, and now she wanted to take the lion's share of the supplies earned from selling protective equipment.

She wasn't sure if Jiang Fei would agree... just then, Jiang Fei spoke.

"I'll give you 100 sets of protective supplies to sell first. I don't want the earned supplies; I only want gold. They will be uniformly sent to Ping An Branch in half a month and given to Jiang Zhengkang."

"Regardless of whether you make a profit, you must pay me at least three times the lowest price per item."

"It's okay if you want to default on the payment."

Jiang Fei's voice suddenly turned cold: "I know where your store is."

"Your daughter is also my colleague."

Cao Xiuhong nodded repeatedly: "I won't do anything foolish."

"You can pick them up at the branch."

Jiang Fei contacted Jiang Zhengkang via walkie-talkie, telling him to give Cao Xiuhong the protective supplies.

Each set of supplies included 1 box of masks, 1 box of disposable gloves, 1 pair of goggles, 1 protective suit, 1 pair of rubber boots, 1 bottle of 500ml alcohol, and 1 bottle of no-rinse hand sanitizer.

Calculated at 30 grams per item, 100 sets would be 21,000 grams of gold.

Even a fly's leg is meat!

If Cao Xiuhong was capable and trustworthy, she wouldn't mind opening another sales channel.

The Gold Swallowing Supermarket really consumed a lot of gold!

After parting with Cao Xiuhong, Jiang Fei drove to the Hospital dormitory.

She entered the community with her Rescue Team ID.

Xiao Chuxia wasn't in the dormitory, and there was no one downstairs. Jiang Fei went down to put the herbal medicine packages and supplies from the truck into the Supermarket warehouse.

She went back upstairs, took out the items, and placed them in the living room.

Not wanting to disturb Xiao Chuxia's work, Jiang Fei didn't use the walkie-talkie, only leaving a note on the table to let her know she had been there.

Afterward, she drove home and entered the Supermarket to work.

Lu Yu was quick and had already harvested all the wheat and was now harvesting rice.

Jiang Fei drove an excavator to expand the pond.

When Lu Yu finished harvesting the rice, he would go and drive another excavator to help Jiang Fei.

Both of them worked quickly, and in a few days, they had expanded the fish pond, shrimp pond, and crab pond, all to 3 mu, and also dug an equally large breeding pond.

The river clams in the small pond had already multiplied, with hundreds of small clams.

Lu Yu was responsible for driving the tractor to transport sand from the Supermarket warehouse to the breeding pond, while Jiang Fei continued to use the Supermarket fountain's water.

After moving the river clams, Jiang Fei took a wooden sign and wrote on it—

"River Clam Breeding Pond"

Then she simply and crudely stuck it next to the pond.

The original small pond was empty, so Jiang Fei went to the Supermarket, loaded a bucket of snails, and poured them in to raise.

Snails have delicate, delicious meat and are known as "pearls on a plate." They are also a typical high-protein, low-fat natural health food.

As long as they are thoroughly cleaned and cooked, there's no need to worry about germs or parasites.

Jiang Fei began teaching Lu Yu how to transplant rice seedlings, plant wheat, and grow fruits and vegetables.

With Lu Yu's help, Jiang Fei could occasionally exit the Supermarket to play with Big Yellow.

The community came for testing every day, and then Lu Yu was released.

Life was leisurely. The only pity was that hens had to be over 6 months old and mate with roosters before they could lay eggs.

In the future, eggs would become chickens, and chickens would lay eggs, and she would have a farm!

Although they couldn't lay eggs yet, the feathers of the eldest, second, third, and fourth were all exceptionally good, and they felt incredibly soft to the touch.

Jiang Fei would hold one and pet it when she had nothing to do.

During her free time, she would take out meals from the Supermarket warehouse, bring out Lu Yu, and invite Su Liuyuan to eat.

Su Liuyuan chatted with Ling Zhaorui on the walkie-talkie every day, completely unaware that the two were getting closer.

He just occasionally asked Lu Yu curiously: "Why weren't you there yesterday when I went to 301 to find you?"

"And you didn't respond when I called you on the walkie-talkie."

Lu Yu calmly said: "The Patrol Team had something going on then, so I went back to work."

"Didn't the Patrol Team have a holiday?"

"There are temporary tasks; you don't work there, so you wouldn't know."

Su Liuyuan didn't think much of it and continued chatting with Ling Zhaorui, holding the walkie-talkie.

Lu Yu and Jiang Fei exchanged glances, their thoughts aligning.

It's better for the kid to be a little stupid.

This day.

All the work in the Supermarket was done, and Jiang Fei brought Lu Yu out.

Lu Yu returned the membership card to Jiang Fei, but she refused.

"It's for you."

The tool person can't run away!

To prevent Lu Yu from losing it, Jiang Fei called out to the system: "I want to use binding mode to permanently bind Lu Yu."

System: [Ding—Membership card has been successfully bound to the cardholder]

The membership card in Lu Yu's hand instantly turned into a golden light and merged into his body.

[Ding—Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new function! Reward: Minion Package]

An unexpected surprise!

Jiang Fei curiously opened the wooden box that had appeared in her hand.

Inside were 6 small pills.

3 white, 3 red.

[Hint: The white pills are Loyalty Pills. The user will be 100% loyal to the host and never betray them.

The red pills are Rainbow Flattery Pills. The user will praise the host excessively for half an hour.

The pills melt instantly in the mouth, so please do not accidentally take them, host~]

Not bad, the unreliable system finally gave out something good!

Lu Yu looked at the box in Jiang Fei's hand: "What is this?"

"A system reward that can turn people into my minions."

Jiang Fei teased him: "Do you want to try it?"

Becoming the neighbor's minion... The image was too cringeworthy, Lu Yu didn't dare to think further. Just as he was about to politely refuse, the long-awaited sound of a horn came from outside...
