234: Shao Ziyue suspected that Jiang Fei was deceiving people

Mo Yanan drank a glass of water and calmed down.

"Sun Yifan is used to being arrogant and overbearing, and he has a bad temper, often bullying those around him. The Yan Family is not as powerful as the Sun Family, so Yan Nanjun's act of stealing things for revenge is indeed understandable."

"I will release news to the outside, guiding the Sun and Yan families. The matter of hiding the items is up to you."

"However, Sun Yifan's watch and contribution card are not enough. We also need evidence of Yan Nanjun's hatred for him."

"Sister Jiang Fei, please wait here for a moment."

With that, Mo Yanan pressed the intercom on the table and instructed Uncle Liu to prepare something.

Not long after, Uncle Liu brought a box.

Inside was a small paper figure folded from yellow paper, crumpled and with several thin needles stuck in it. On the back were Sun Yifan's name and birth date.

"The Sun Family and the Yan Family are obsessed with metaphysics. With this curse figure, plus the influence of the gray mist on human emotions, we can successfully make them fight."

Jiang Fei asked curiously, "Can a curse figure really curse people?"

Having experienced rebirth and even used the magical talismans from the Gold Swallowing Supermarket, she had no choice but to believe in such things.

"I don't know. Maybe it's only effective in the hands of a professional."

Mo Yanan handed the box to Jiang Fei and told her the Yan Family's address, as well as the location of Yan Nanjun's room.

He had once been a guest at the Yan Family and was very familiar with the place.

Uncle Liu moved the supplies for dealing with the gray mist onto the pickup truck, and Jiang Fei secretly put them into the Supermarket before heading to the Yan Family's villa.

The thick fog obscured everything, affecting people's vision, but it made it easier for Jiang Fei to climb over the wall and into the courtyard.

Using climbing equipment, she scaled the villa to the open-air balcony on the fourth floor. After confirming that Yan Nanjun's bedroom was empty, Jiang Fei cautiously pushed open the sliding door and entered.

The Yan Family had not tidied up Yan Nanjun's belongings, perhaps wanting to preserve traces of his life.

After hiding the contribution card and watch under the mattress and stuffing the curse figure under the bed, Jiang Fei left the way she came.

Back in the car, she used the walkie-talkie to tell Mo Yanan that it was done, then returned to the Fenglin Villa District.

Stopping at the entrance of Number 11, Jiang Fei took out the box Mo Yanan had given her from the driver's seat.

Upon opening it, she first saw a piece of paper with instructions for use.

One special incense coil could burn for 5-6 hours, covering an area of about 15 square meters, which was enough for use at the entrance.

The sachets were effective for one week, less potent than the incense coils, and suitable for hanging in the car or carrying personally.

They could also be used at the entrance, but several would need to be hung.

Jiang Fei checked the contents of the box.

There were 40 individually packaged boxes of incense coils.

There were 30 plastic-sealed sachets, each with a hanging string.

Mo Yanan had provided them according to the number of houses, which could be divided into five portions.

After dividing them into bags, Jiang Fei put her share into the Supermarket warehouse and sent the rest to Lu Yu at Villa Number 10, the two gossips at Villa Number 9, Jiang Zhengkang and others at Villa Number 8.

The extra portion was for the Ping An Small Mall.

She also instructed everyone to keep the special incense coils and sachets a secret.

If anyone kept asking, they should say it was calming incense they had bought before.

—

With the special incense coils and sachets, Su Liuyuan and the others went to the Ping An Small Mall to open for business the next day.

Jiang Fei, meanwhile, focused on taking care of the chicks and goslings at home, observing Big Yellow's condition to prevent the little ones from also getting coccidiosis.

Perhaps it was due to feeding them spring water all day, or the effectiveness of the base's vaccines and veterinary medicine, but in less than four days, Boss was lively and jumping.

His appetite, droppings, and feathers had all returned to normal.

Boss, with his fiery red comb, strutted proudly in front of Jiang Fei, even shaking his bright and colorful feathers, as if saying—

"Look! I'm fine now!"

Jiang Fei chuckled and stroked Boss's head.

Fortunately, Second, Third, Fourth, and Big Yellow had not shown any symptoms of infection.

Coccidiosis is prone to recurrence, and the Supermarket no longer had fences, so Jiang Fei continued to isolate and feed the chicks and goslings.

She needed to build a chicken coop when she had time.

As for Big Yellow, he remained in the cat room, as Jiang Fei was afraid that residual gray mist might affect him.

Donning her protective suit, Jiang Fei, taking advantage of the early hour, drove to the Comprehensive Wholesale Market according to the base's map.

She still had 10 breeding slots and wanted to raise other poultry and livestock.

It would be best if she could buy pairs of cattle and sheep.

They could produce milk and also give birth to young.

However, reality was cruel.

After touring the entire market, Jiang Fei did not find a single seller of poultry or livestock.

She did see many shops selling sparrows, loaches, earthworms, ants, and cockroaches.

After some inquiries, she learned that all the base's poultry and livestock were in the Cultivation Park.

Jiang Fei drove there and used the walkie-talkie to ask Ling Zhaorui.

"I want to buy poultry and livestock. Who should I buy from?"

Ling Zhaorui: "General Manager Shao Ziyue. She is the head of the Cultivation Park and has the most authority."

"Poultry and livestock are generally not sold to the public, Sister Jiang. You might have to put in some effort to buy them. Why not ask Mo Yanan for help?"

"The Cultivation Park gives them preferential treatment."

"I'll go ask first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Mo Yanan." Jiang Fei cut off communication and took out a 50ml bottle of spring water and a roll of silk pearl satin fabric suitable for making cheongsams.

Spring water was useful for crops, and Shao Ziyue liked cheongsams.

With these two items, she should be able to buy poultry and livestock.

Finding a staff member of the Cultivation Park, Jiang Fei showed her access card, which represented the Mo Family, and was smoothly led to the General Manager's office.

Otherwise, with her identity as a small Supermarket owner, she would not have been able to see Shao Ziyue at all.

Special incense coils were burning in the corridor of the office building, and Jiang Fei took off her gas mask.

The staff member knocked and entered the office: "General Manager Shao, someone from the Mo Family is here."

Having said that, the staff member consciously left and closed the door.

Shao Ziyue, who was sitting at her desk processing documents, looked up.

Seeing that it was Jiang Fei, holding a roll of fabric, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Please sit. What can I do for you?"

"I'd like to discuss a business deal with Miss Shao." Jiang Fei placed the items she brought on the table.

"The bottle contains a special potion that has a ripening effect on crops and can also protect their healthy growth. It's still effective even when diluted a thousand times."

"This is pure silk pearl satin, 50 meters long, enough to make more than ten cheongsams."

"I want to buy pairs of poultry and livestock."

Shao Ziyue was stunned, her gaze falling on the table.

The bottle Jiang Fei used to hold the spring water was a plastic spray bottle, and the liquid inside was transparent and clear, no different from water.

It didn't look like medicine at all.

She strongly suspected that Jiang Fei was trying to trick her.

The fabric, however, was of good quality, an off-white color, exuding a lustrous sheen like pearls.

The feel was also delicate and smooth; it was clearly high-quality pearl satin, and Shao Ziyue was a little tempted.

She couldn't possibly sell Jiang Fei poultry and livestock based solely on the fabric, but the other party was backed by the Mo Family.

Out of respect for the Mo Family, she could sell two rabbits.

Rabbits have strong reproductive capabilities, and the Cultivation Park had more than they could handle.

But cattle and sheep were out of the question.

The park only had a little over a thousand cattle and sheep combined, and they needed to be kept for breeding and sold to residents for food.

"One male rabbit and one female rabbit, both young rabbits under three months old. If you agree, I'll have someone fetch them."

Jiang Fei nodded in agreement, not in a hurry.

Once Shao Ziyue experimented with the spring water, she would definitely come to her for a trade.

Shao Ziyue used the walkie-talkie to contact the staff in the breeding area.

More than ten minutes later, two small white rabbits, caged in iron, were delivered to the office.

They were small and looked very endearing.

The two looked identical, with no distinguishing features except for their gender, so Jiang Fei didn't plan to name them.

Shao Ziyue: "Young rabbits need to eat alfalfa to supplement the nutrients required for growth. Do you have any at home?"

"Yes."

Alfalfa could also be eaten by humans, and the Supermarket's fruit and vegetable section had it.

Picking up the small cage, Jiang Fei left the office.

Once she was gone, Shao Ziyue lovingly stroked the silk pearl satin, already thinking about what style of cheongsam to make.

Her peripheral vision caught sight of the bottle on the table, and Shao Ziyue paused, then called a staff member to send it to the planting area for experimentation.

She had sold the rabbits this time out of respect for the Mo Family.

If Jiang Fei came again trying to trick her with plain water to buy poultry and livestock, she would directly show her the experimental results and refuse her.

—

Jiang Fei drove away from the Cultivation Park, putting the two small rabbits, along with their cage, into the Supermarket.

After placing fresh alfalfa and spring water in the cage, she went to the Ping An Small Mall.

On the inner left and right sides of the main entrance, three sachets were hung on each side.

On the ground below were two lit special incense coils.

With incense coils and sachets at the entrance, there was no need to wear a gas mask inside the mall.

There weren't many customers at this time. Su Liuyuan was at the cashier, chatting with Han Yang while cracking melon seeds.

Noticing that the person who entered was Jiang Fei, Su Liuyuan excitedly waved:

"Captain, come quickly! I have some juicy gossip!"
