45: You're trying to rob me right in front of me?

Lu Yu placed the brick on the ground and squatted beside Jiang Fei: "Tell me how to build a barbecue pit, and I'll help you."

As if remembering something, he took a black plastic bag from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Fei.

"What I promised you before."

The bag contained many gold rings and necklaces.

Some of the gold ornaments still had traces of blood, obviously taken from the bodies of the Tiger Suppression Gang.

Jiang Fei unceremoniously accepted them, put them into her jacket pocket, but actually stored them in the Supermarket.

System: [Ding—Detected gold: 688 grams]

Better than nothing!

Having received the gold, Jiang Fei was in a good mood and began to teach Lu Yu how to build a barbecue pit.

Not far away, Ling Zhaorui, who was scraping pig hair, looked up and saw Jiang Fei and Lu Yu squatting side by side.

The man listened attentively to the girl, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The girl occasionally looked at him while explaining, her eyes clear and cold, like a bright moonlight falling here, pure and flawless.

Ling Zhaorui couldn't help but quietly ask Xiao Chuxia, who was watering the wild boars nearby: "Do you feel that Brother Lu and Sister Jiang are a good match?"

Xiao Chuxia followed Ling Zhaorui's gaze and decisively shook her head: "No one is worthy of my Miss!"

Even if Brother Lu is very handsome and capable!

Seeing Xiao Chuxia supporting Jiang Fei's single beauty, Ling Zhaorui wisely kept quiet and secretly shipped the CP himself.

After the barbecue pit was built, the subordinates also delivered the first batch of cleaned wild boar meat.

Jiang Fei selected shoulder and leg meat, prepared a simple barbecue marinade, and then placed the meat on the iron rack to grill, not forgetting to call Crippled Wang and others to learn.

If she were to grill all the meat for the large group by herself, it would probably take two days to eat the wild boar feast, so she had to find a few more helpers!

"The most important thing for grilling meat is the heat. Insufficient heat or excessive heat will affect the taste of the meat. If you can't control it well, choose the middle position of the iron plate to grill, and remember to flip it to ensure even heating on both sides."

After making sure Crippled Wang and the others had learned, Jiang Fei handed over the grilling work to them and went aside to prepare the marinating seasoning, calling over Dao Ba.

"You take two people to remember how to prepare the marinade, then marinate all this wild boar meat. It can be cooked after about two hours of marinating."

"Marinated wild boar meat will taste better, and besides grilling, it can also be stir-fried."

After teaching Dao Ba, Jiang Fei found the tattooed man who was butchering the pork.

"A Meng, go find all the salt in the boxes, and then check if there's any stock left in the residential area of the farm. The more salt, the better."

To preserve wild boar meat for a long time, one can use natural air-drying or salt curing.

Air-drying is time-consuming and prone to theft, while salt curing is the most convenient.

Jiang Fei, the only chef, was like a small spinning top, busy from one task to another, with Lu Yu following her, quietly assisting.

It wasn't until late at night that everyone finished processing all the wild boars and ate a hot meal.

Besides stir-fried wild boar and braised wild boar, there were also three flavors of grilled wild boar: original, spicy, and salt and pepper.

Jiang Fei took the spicy one.

The wild boar meat was a bit tough and chewy, not as tasty as regular pork, but in this day and age, being able to eat meat was already a great blessing.

Everyone ate with relish, not even leaving the stir-fried chili peppers in the pot.

"I swear, this is the best meal I've had since the flood started."

"As expected of the boss's big shot, she can handle a gun and a kitchen knife."

"Alright, you guys, instead of flattering, eat a few more bites of meat." Crippled Wang playfully scolded them and handed Jiang Fei a few papers:

"Big shot, my people have tallied Beishan Farm's supplies. Here's the list, you can see what you all need."

Jiang Fei let Lu Yu and his two companions choose first.

To avoid duplicate items, they could exchange. Lu Yu was responsible for warmth-related items, Xiao Chuxia for food and water, and Ling Zhaorui for weapons and medicine.

When it was Jiang Fei's turn to look at the list, Crippled Wang leaned over to Lu Yu.

"Brother, do you want to work with me?"

"Earlier in the orchard, you shot one in the head with one shot, it was really cool."

"I promise, as long as I have a bite of meat to eat, you'll have your share."

The Tiger Suppression Gang had nearly thirty people, occupying a large part of the orchard, and they were armed.

Thanks to Lu Yu's timely deployment of a battle plan, he and his brothers were not injured and easily killed everyone.

Brave and resourceful, Crippled Wang became more and more satisfied with Lu Yu the more he looked at him.

Lu Yu smiled and refused: "Sorry, I'm quite happy staying on the 22nd floor."

When Crippled Wang, unwilling to give up, was about to speak again, he suddenly met a pair of clear eyes.

Jiang Fei stared intently at Crippled Wang: "Trying to poach my man right in front of me?"

Xiao Jin Yang, you've gotten bold!

"Ahem, I was just asking..." Crippled Wang awkwardly moved away from Lu Yu and changed the subject:

"Big shot, have you chosen yet?"

"Three boxes of each of these, and one box of vegetables." Jiang Fei's fingertip traced across the paper.

It was firearms and ammunition, diesel, and gasoline.

Crippled Wang's heart was bleeding.

The big shot always picked the most valuable items!

"There are 13 and a half wild boars left. You contributed more, so you should take the larger share. How about 3 for us and 10 for you?"

Jiang Fei thought for a moment: "We only need two, and the remaining 8 will be converted into supplies."

"Three boxes of coal, three boxes of food, and two boxes of medicine."

All the wild boars were killed by Jiang Fei, so Lu Yu and the others had no objections.

Crippled Wang now only felt fortunate that the Tiger Suppression Gang had hidden all their supplies at Beishan Farm, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford it!

"Then I'll have my subordinates pack the things and send you back to Yulan Garden."

"No, we'll stay here first and leave after all the wild boar meat is marinated."

The Tiger Suppression Gang changed people once a week, so it was unlikely anyone would come for a while. This was a good opportunity for her to stay at Beishan Farm for a few days.

Knowing that Jiang Fei wanted to marinate wild boar meat for preservation, Crippled Wang shamelessly asked: "Big shot, can you teach us?"

Jiang Fei raised an eyebrow: "You poach my people, and you still want me to teach you how to marinate meat?"

Crippled Wang: "I'll add a box of eggs."

"Deal!"

Jiang Fei's expression instantly changed, and she had everyone transport the wild boar meat to the residential area by car.

The residential area on the mountaintop consisted of independent brick houses.

The large ones could accommodate more than 10 people, and the small ones could sleep two people.

There were four brick houses in total.

Crippled Wang's group was large, so they were suitable for the large brick houses, while Jiang Fei and her three companions stayed in two small brick houses.

She and Xiao Chuxia shared one, and Lu Yu and Ling Zhaorui shared another.

After cleaning all the houses of insects, Crippled Wang and his men found a generator and connected electricity to the four brick houses.

When the lights came on, everyone couldn't help but look over, feeling a strange sense of being in another world.

"I don't know when this disaster will end. My wife keeps longing to go home."

"Now that the bugs and poisonous mosquitoes are fewer, it should be ending soon, right?"

"But the recent cold weather scares me a bit. What if the bugs and poisonous mosquitoes disappear, and a new disaster comes?"

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Crippled Wang clapped his hands: "It's getting late, everyone listen to the big shot's arrangements, hurry up and work, then sleep."

Jiang Fei taught the subordinates the air-drying method and the salt-curing method, and did not ask for the wild boar's internal organs or offal.

They were difficult to clean and not tasty, so it was better to make more meat.

Lu Yu and his two companions also joined the marinating team.

"Miss, you've been busy all day, go back to your room to rest. Ling Zhaorui, Brother Lu, and I are enough for the marinating."

Crippled Wang: "Or perhaps you all should go back and rest. We have many people, we can help you marinate. Anyway, at this time normally, we would still be out robbing... ahem, working."

Jiang Fei agreed.

Free labor, no reason not to use it.

Lu Yu and his two companions washed their hands and went back to their rooms to rest, but Jiang Fei did not. She put on her protective suit and, under the pretext of going for a walk, went to the orchard behind.

Because of the typhoon and flood, some fruit trees were uprooted, or all their fruits and branches were washed away, leaving only bare trunks.

She wanted to get a few fruit trees to put in the Supermarket to see if they could be replanted.

Jiang Fei chose relatively intact apple, hawthorn, pear, peach, lychee, and pomegranate trees, one of each kind, and stored them on the land outside the Supermarket.

To avoid too many fruit trees disappearing and raising suspicion.

Just as Jiang Fei was about to go deeper to find other varieties, she faintly heard a gunshot.
