270: Second generation special potato seeds
Father Mo smiled and patted Su Liuyuan's shoulder, "Mo Yanan knows I came to see Boss Jiang."
"He just came to pick me up."
"Oh, I see." Su Liuyuan awkwardly returned to the checkout counter to help customers.
Mo Yanan walked over with a mini insulated box, having already heard on the way about Pei Wenlong's scene at the Supermarket.
"Sister Jiang Fei, Pei Wenlong also caused trouble in Kyoto last year, just because a resident didn't give him a parking space."
"The day after it happened, that resident died in a car accident. The authorities suspected it was related to Pei Wenlong, but there was no evidence, so it was left unsettled. Be careful recently; he might retaliate against you."
At this point, Mo Yanan handed the mini insulated box to Jiang Fei:
"These are second-generation special potato seeds that Mr. Kang Ansheng entrusted my people to send back. He said they're a thank-you gift for you."
"According to Mr. Kang, 2g of these seeds can produce over three tons of potatoes, which is even higher than the first-generation special potatoes, and they grow very quickly."
Jiang Fei opened the small box.
Inside were four tiny, round potato seeds, which had already sprouted.
Potato seeds are different from potatoes.
Seeds are primarily for planting and are not recommended for consumption.
Potatoes, however, are fully edible.
"By the way, Sister Jiang Fei, in two days is the last session of the discussion conference. Merchants from the Base can also participate. Do you want to join the fun?"
Jiang Fei nodded.
She wanted to know how the Base would cope with the polar day.
"Then I'll come to your house to find you then."
With that, Mo Yanan helped Father Mo carry the bucket of fish, got in the car, and left.
Jiang Fei stayed at the Ping An Small Mall until closing, then drove home.
The courtyard was covered everywhere with accumulated willow catkins, burying the two vegetable plots on the east and west sides.
Fetching a vacuum cleaner and a generator from inside the house, Jiang Fei cleared the willow catkins from the vegetable plots.
As soon as she finished cleaning, a knock sounded at the door.
It was Ling Zhaorui.
He carried a large bouquet of roses in one hand and a bag in the other.
The bag contained seeds of several types of flowers.
"Why did you buy roses again?"
Ling Zhaorui chuckled, "I promised Su Liuyuan and the others that I'd buy everyone roses when I got paid, but the gray fog affected plants some time ago, and all the flowers in the Cultivation Park died. New ones were only recently planted."
"Now plants have mutated and grow quickly, and the roses happened to bloom today, so I bought a large bouquet to fulfill my promise."
"The Cultivation Park has started selling tulip, rose, and jasmine seeds. I bought some too, to give to you."
"You can plant them in the courtyard or in the Supermarket."
Since they were all friends, Jiang Fei unceremoniously accepted the flower seeds.
She retrieved a potato seed from the Supermarket warehouse, gave it to Ling Zhaorui, and told him about the Safety Shelter.
"Take these potato seeds and plant them in the Cultivation Park."
"Even if it doesn't lead to a promotion or raise, it can be kept as emergency food for residents."
"Okay." Ling Zhaorui took the special potato seeds and went to deliver roses to the others.
Closing the gate, Jiang Fei harvested the vegetables from the courtyard into the Supermarket warehouse.
She sowed a new batch of vegetable seeds and also planted the flower seeds Ling Zhaorui had given her.
The plants outside were now growing faster than those in the Supermarket. She decided to take advantage of the benefits brought by the natural disaster before the polar day arrived.
As for the special potato seeds, Jiang Fei went into the Supermarket to plant them.
Such important and precious seeds could not be planted outside.
If the plants entered their final stage and suddenly began to wither and rot, the seeds would be ruined.
The Supermarket was safer.
After planting the special potato seeds and new crops in the plantation, Jiang Fei went to the warehouse to get feed and first fed the aquatic products raised in the pond.
The abalone had already bred larvae. After raising them for a while longer, they could be sold at the Ping An Small Mall.
Jiang Fei then went to get wild vegetables to feed the poultry and livestock.
She unexpectedly found 5 fertilized eggs and 12 ordinary chicken eggs in the chicken coop.
"Old Three, you're amazing!"
Praising her chick, Jiang Fei sent the fertilized eggs to the greenhouse for incubation.
The ordinary chicken eggs were placed in the Supermarket warehouse.
She also brought the chick she was raising in her bedroom to the Supermarket's chicken coop.
According to the naming order, this chick, born not long ago, would be called Old Five.
Jiang Fei quickly decided on the name.
She glanced at the goose coop not far away, troubled.
The cattle, sheep, chickens, and rabbits were all in pairs, but Old Four, a gander, was all alone.
She hoped that the next time a zone was unlocked, she could draw a breeding quota to find a wife for Old Four!
—
Two days later, there was a result regarding the disappearance of Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa.
Father You had eyewitnesses, and since Pei Wenlong couldn't find Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa to prove his innocence, he had to take the blame.
As compensation, Pei Wenlong had to give 500 boxes of supplies each to the You Family and the Kyoto Base.
These included food, weapons, and medicine.
The disappearance of Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa was deemed an escape, out of fear of punishment.
The Base broadcast this news, and residents felt a sense of relief.
"Serves them right! Let the people from Fengquan City Base be arrogant and harass women; they're getting their just deserts!"
"A total of 1000 boxes of supplies to compensate! Pei Wenlong is bleeding heavily this time; won't he have to walk on eggshells from now on?"
"I think the punishment is a bit light. They should beat up the people from Fengquan City and kick them out of the Base."
"Pei Wenlong is, after all, the boss of Fengquan City and has thousands of subordinates. It's unlikely the authorities would completely fall out with him, unless he courts death again."
Su Liuyuan and the others were also very happy.
Han Yang: "After this incident, Pei Wenlong definitely won't dare to cause us trouble anymore."
"Hard to say." Jiang Fei instructed them:
"Be careful when you go out these days, don't go out alone, and don't go out to pick up willow catkins anymore."
"Pei Wenlong is petty and vengeful. He might not dare to do anything openly, but there's a possibility of him acting covertly."
Everyone noted Jiang Fei's words.
Su Liuyuan whispered to Jiang Fei, "Captain, the two shelves for dairy products and sanitary napkins are almost empty, and there's no stock left in the warehouse. Remember to restock when you have time."
Jiang Fei: "You all leave first tonight; I'll stay to restock."
She had packed a freezer full of frozen dumplings for Father Mo these past two days, and it would be a good time to deliver them after restocking tonight.
Suddenly, the sound of a car driving came from outside.
An SUV and a large truck stopped at the Supermarket entrance.
Cheng Pingwei got out of the SUV and entered the Supermarket.
"Boss Jiang, I'm here to collect the willow catkins and settle the payment for the drinks."
Jiang Fei took out the ledger Su Liuyuan kept at the checkout counter and showed it to Cheng Pingwei.
After glancing at the total, Cheng Pingwei instructed half of his men to move gold from the truck's cargo compartment and the other half to move the bagged willow catkins from the first floor.
"Something is quite strange."
Cheng Pingwei said casually, "The day before Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa went missing, someone saw you driving to Mos Hotel."
"But when I went to Mos Hotel to ask, the front desk and manager there said they had never seen you."
"So, Boss Jiang, did you go there or not?"
The You Family and Jiang Fei were from the Kyoto Base, so in his investigation, he naturally sided with his own people.
Furthermore, he wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and teach Pei Wenlong a lesson, so he followed Father You's speculation and concluded that Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa had run away out of fear.
In his heart, he had always suspected that their disappearance was related to Jiang Fei.
After all, the clues he found all pointed to her.
Jiang Fei replied with a mix of truth and falsehood, "I have a friend staying at Mos Hotel named Zhou Wanqing, a representative from Lincheng Base. That day, I originally wanted to invite her to dinner, but then I received a message from Su Liuyuan saying that Mo Yanan had arrived and wanted to ask me about fish farming knowledge, so I turned around and went back to the Supermarket."
Xiao Jin Yang was quick-witted and smart, so she wasn't afraid of Cheng Pingwei asking him.
Seeing Jiang Fei's frank gaze, not looking like she was lying, Cheng Pingwei smiled, "I see."
Perhaps he was overthinking it.
Just a coincidence?
After collecting the willow catkins, Cheng Pingwei left with his men.
Su Liuyuan and the others moved the gold to the warehouse.
In the evening, after everyone had left, Jiang Fei first moved the 100 bags of frozen dumplings from the freezer into the Supermarket warehouse, then went to the warehouse to take out a batch of sanitary napkins and dairy products and place them on the floor.
She collected all the gold earned recently and the gold brought by Cheng Pingwei into the Supermarket.
System: [Ding—Detected gold: 18,566,600 grams]
After securing the Supermarket's doors and windows, Jiang Fei got into the SUV, preparing to go to the Mo Family to deliver the dumplings.
As soon as she drove out of the street, a small truck rushed out from the side.
