249: Miracle ointment

Jiang Fei looked at the golden gift box that had appeared in her hand.

Inside was a set of Prank Talismans for the whole family.

There was one of each: Invisibility Talisman, Fart Talisman, Obedience Talisman, Cry-Laugh Talisman, and Ugly Monster Talisman.

There was also a badge with a duck holding a yellow star in both hands, labeled “Lucky Duck”.

The box also contained a small 10ml bottle of Dog-Hating Perfume.

These were all items she had previously won from the Lucky Big Turntable.

The only unfamiliar item was a golden aluminum tube of ointment.

It was 20g, and the front simply read “Magic Ointment”.

System: [“Lucky Duck” is the mother-in-law of “Diligent Duck” and the biological mother of “Go-Go Duck” ~

2. Magic Ointment can treat all external injuries such as burns, frostbite, cuts, contusions, sprains, and scalds.

Mild external injuries heal within 24 hours and recover completely, moderate within 48 hours, and severe within 72 hours.

Instructions for use: Only needs to be applied once, evenly spread on the wound. The ointment does not need to cover the skin, nor does it require bandaging, and it is waterproof and dustproof.]

Not bad, with the Invisibility Talisman and Magic Ointment, this time it’s not a loss!

Putting away the gift box, Jiang Fei entered the Supermarket.

Taking the elevator to the 6th floor, she found a large iron box in the center.

It was square, about 1 meter high.

Like the round platform on the 3rd floor, it couldn't be moved or opened.

The previous round platform eventually turned into a small fountain, so she wondered what the large iron box would become.

Since she couldn't guess, Jiang Fei went to check out the new area.

A portion of the white mist had dissipated again, revealing 8 extra-long double-sided large shelves.

They were neatly stocked with various seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, MSG, chicken bouillon, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, pepper, white sugar, rock sugar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cinnamon powder, chicken powder, balsamic vinegar, ketchup, condensed milk, peanut butter, sesame paste, chili powder, fish sauce, vinaigrette, cooking wine, ginger powder, fermented bean curd, and doubanjiang.

They were divided into canned and bottled varieties.

Things like vinegar and soy sauce came in 200ml glass bottles.

Pepper and chili powder came in 100g plastic bottles.

White granulated sugar and rock sugar came in 300g glass jars.

Within these, there were different types.

For example, salt included sea salt, lake salt, rock salt, coarse salt, fine salt, low-sodium salt, and iodized salt.

Jiang Fei's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.

Salt and sugar were good things.

These two are essential for the human body; salt can promote metabolism, raise body temperature, maintain fluid balance, and so on.

And sugar can not only relieve dehydration, prevent collapse, and promote the secretion of dopamine to make people happy, but white sugar can also be used in medicine, industry, and even to make bombs.

She had previously worried about what to do when the seasonings stocked in the Supermarket warehouse ran out.

Now she only worried about not being able to use them all!

Jiang Fei happily exited the Supermarket, loaded 10 boxes of seasonings into the warehouse, and stocked Ping An Small Mall with new products.

She also took out a cabinet to store supplies for Xiao Hei.

Things like a harness leash, chew toys, nail clippers, pet toothpaste and brush, ear cleaner, freeze-dried food, and canned food.

Closing the door, Jiang Fei went to the first floor of Ping An Small Mall from the main entrance of the warehouse.

Xiao Hei, who was still in place, was in a daze.

It only just realized that the bed it was on had been conjured by Jiang Fei out of thin air.

The fierce woman had disappeared in a blink of an eye and reappeared not long after... Was she really human???

—

14:00 PM was break time, Su Liuyuan was not busy at the cashier, so Jiang Fei told him about the new products.

“Have everyone display the seasonings and put up the price tags after work tonight.”

“I've sent Xiao Hei to the warehouse to be taken care of. Whoever has time each day can take him out for a few runs.”

Han Yang, who was nearby, spoke up proactively: “Boss, let me take care of Xiao Hei.”

“I like dogs and used to own one, so I have experience.”

Jiang Fei nodded in agreement, when suddenly the base's broadcast sounded from outside.

“Good afternoon, residents. Urgent notice: swarms of mutated animals are attacking the base again.”

“Residents who wish to receive free raw meat can go to the entrance and exit to assist the Security Team and Rescue Team in killing the animals.”

Jiang Zhengkang and others heard the news and went downstairs, planning to go this one last time, and then no longer kill mutated animals.

But they couldn't all go; some had to stay and work in the mall.

They decided on Yao Jin and Han Yang by playing rock-paper-scissors.

The two asked Jiang Zhengkang for the car keys and drove to the base's entrance and exit.

There weren't many big customers today, and Cao Xiuhong was enough on the top floor, so Jiang Fei took Han Yang's place as a sales assistant on the 1st floor.

Everyone else returned upstairs to talk more easily, and Su Liuyuan said to Jiang Fei:

“Captain, ever since the mutated animals appeared, every household has had plenty of meat to eat, and our turnover has dropped significantly.”

“But too much meat can make people tired and their bodies can't handle it. I plan to raise the prices of vegetables and fruits in the next couple of days to try and boost our turnover a bit.”

Jiang Fei naturally wouldn't object to making more gold: “Then I'll go to the warehouse later and restock a few boxes of vegetables and fruits.”

As Su Liuyuan expected, in less than a week, the residents of the base couldn't bear it anymore.

Meat was now cheaper than vegetables, fruits, and seafood, and they could also go to the base's entrance and exit to kill mutated animals and receive it for free, so their three meals a day consisted of meat.

Braised pork, stir-fried pork, fried pork, steamed white pork, etc., they cooked meat in various ways.

The first time they ate it, they were happy and excited, satisfying their cravings and wanting to eat until their stomachs burst.

After the Nth time eating it... they were numb and listless, feeling like it was Chinese New Year, with only one thought in their minds:

“Why isn't the meat finished yet?”

As a result, most people experienced problems like constipation, indigestion, and bloating.

Their greetings to each other also changed to—

“Did you poop today?”

Hearing the other person say “Yes,” they looked envious.

“I've been constipated for four days, and my stomach hurts. If I can't go to the bathroom soon, I'll have to go to the Hospital to buy a laxative.”

“Your situation isn't bad; laxatives don't even work for me. Now, at night, I dream of big apples, bananas, and green leafy vegetables.”

“I heard that Ping An Small Mall restocked vegetables and fruits, and also got vinaigrette and sesame paste. Should we go buy some and make a salad at home?”

“Who knows when the apocalypse will end? Gold is useless in hand; it's not as important as contribution points. It's better to exchange it for some greens and fruits.”

“Seeing a doctor and buying medicine all require contribution points.”

“Let's go, let's go, come with me to get gold bars!”

The vegetables, fruits, and salad seasonings at Ping An Small Mall became hot commodities.

The wealthy also began their shopping spree.

Su Liuyuan and the others simply couldn't handle the rush, so Jiang Fei had to go help every day.

As for the fresh meat in the mall, it was all put into the freezer.

The mutated animals attacking humans was only temporary.

Once the gray fog dissipated and the animals returned to normal and hid again, then the meat would be valuable.

In just four days, Jiang Fei earned 15,835,500 grams of gold, and she drove home in an excellent mood.

Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan's birthdays were in two days; it was time to prepare birthday gifts.

Upon returning home, Jiang Fei entered the Supermarket, intending to go to the warehouse to pick out gifts, but instead heard the noisy sounds of cattle and sheep.

The cowshed and sheepfold were not far apart, and the two calves mooed at the mother goat across the fence.

The mother goat stood at the edge of the sheepfold, bleating in a drawn-out cry, her voice loud enough to drown out the two calves.

This scene greatly resembled a street fight.

Jiang Fei tentatively asked: “Are you guys arguing?”

Da Hei, Da Bai, and Xiao Yue turned their heads at the sound, letting out a human-like cry, as if saying “Yes”.

The next second, they started yelling at each other again.

The male goat, Da Yue, was quietly eating grass nearby the whole time, his emotions extremely stable.

Jiang Fei watched for a while.

Only then did she realize that the two calves had started it.

When the mother goat walked away and ignored them, they yelled even louder.

Their provocative actions successfully made the mother goat return and continue yelling at them.

“Meeeh—!”

You two are the fat ones!

“Mooo!”

“Moo moo moo!”

You're the one who eats the most!

Unable to understand what they were saying, Jiang Fei simply brought out a flamethrower.

“Whoever makes another sound, will be roasted tonight.”

The cattle and sheep fell silent.

Then, not far away, a clucking sound came from the chicken coop.

The two calves and the mother goat all looked over simultaneously.

Quick!

Roast them!
