59: Let me kowtow to you!
Wu Xiaowei and Wu Dayong stood at the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Hall, smiling brighter than the other.
Wu Dayong was still holding a food tray: "Miss Jiang, it was too late yesterday, and we, the Wu Brothers, were afraid of disturbing your rest, so we came to find you today."
"This is the breakfast we made together, fried eggs and beef. You didn't accept our thank-you gift last time, so this time you must accept our heartfelt gesture, otherwise my younger brother will have been scalded for nothing."
Wu Xiaowei immediately raised her left hand pitifully, revealing two small blisters on it.
Jiang Fei finally understood.
If she didn't accept their supplies, the Wu Brothers would cook and deliver food, even resorting to a 'bitter flesh' scheme, determined to repay her.
"Just this once."
The Wu Brothers said in unison: "Okay!"
Taking the food tray, Jiang Fei sat on a chair in the corridor and ate.
The beef and eggs were both fried, seasoned only with salt, and tasted a bit fishy.
But in the current situation, being able to eat meat and eggs, Jiang Fei was already very content.
After finishing breakfast, before she even had a chance to go downstairs, she was stopped again by the Wu Brothers.
This time, an old man in his sixties was with them.
Old Mr. Wu had a ruddy complexion and was very well cared for by the Wu Brothers.
"Miss Jiang, thank you for the supplies you left at Lin City First Hospital before, and for helping my two sons with so many things. I... I really have no way to thank you, so let me kowtow to you!"
Old Mr. Wu excitedly moved to kneel down.
Jiang Fei hastily supported him: "I didn't do anything, you don't need to be so polite."
"Take good care of your health, I'll come to see you again when I have time."
Afraid that Old Mr. Wu would actually kowtow, Jiang Fei ran away quickly.
Outside the Manxing Grand Restaurant, a truck and a pickup truck were parked.
Crippled Wang had already loaded all of Jiang Fei's share of supplies.
"Boss, you and Brother Lu drive the pickup back first. Later tonight, when it's dark, Scar will deliver the truck's supplies to you."
"The truck is too conspicuous during the day, it's easy to get robbed."
Jiang Fei: "Deliver the truck's supplies in a few days, remember to do it in batches."
The Tiger Suppression Gang had just been dealt with, and if they took back so many supplies, Xu Qianyao would definitely become suspicious.
"Alright, then the truck's supplies will be stored with me for now. I've put the grenades and gold in the back seat of the pickup."
Jiang Fei nodded, indicating understanding, and got into the passenger seat of the pickup.
Lu Yu was already in the driver's seat.
Crippled Wang had also stuffed several boxes of supplies into the back seat.
Jiang Fei casually placed the machine gun she was carrying on top of the boxes, planning to put it into the Supermarket when she got back.
Lu Yu pretended to adjust his seatbelt and glanced over.
The lines on the gun body were even clearer in the daylight, forming a pattern, and there was a string of numbers—
AY-1396
Neighbor, why does he have something from 'Rats'?
"Let's go."
"Mm." Lu Yu temporarily suppressed the various conjectures in his heart and started the pickup.
Approaching noon, they returned to Yulan Garden.
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu carried boxes upstairs, and also called Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia down to help.
The survivors in Building A were numb and indifferent to this scene.
Isn't it just over ten boxes of supplies?
Jiang Fengzi wasn't moving things for the first time, there was nothing to see.
If she moved a hundred boxes one day, then they might go join in the fun.
Everyone thought enviously.
22nd floor.
The boxes were all stacked in the corridor, and Lu Yu and Ling Zhaorui were responsible for organizing them.
Jiang Fei put the two suitcases containing grenades and gold into 2202, then went next door to see Da Huang.
Before leaving, Lu Yu had entrusted Da Huang to Xiao Chuxia's care.
He felt that Ling Zhaorui was a rough man who didn't understand medicine, and wasn't as meticulous as Xiao Chuxia.
Da Huang was in much better condition than two days ago. Seeing Jiang Fei, it immediately rushed from the sofa and climbed up her leg.
Fragrant two-legged beast!
Jiang Fei hugged Da Huang, kneading its cheeks, and asked Xiao Chuxia: "Is it still throwing up?"
"It's not throwing up anymore. This morning it started eating, and its bowel movements and mental state are all normal."
Xiao Chuxia's tone became hesitant: "Logically, cats are heat-tolerant but not cold-tolerant animals, but after Da Huang took the medicine, it never lay on the electric blanket again. Yesterday, I opened the door to ventilate, and it even ran out to play in the corridor."
"The corridor is currently about minus fifteen degrees Celsius, but it's not afraid of the cold at all."
"Could Da Huang have evolved?"
Jiang Fei suddenly remembered her previous life.
A severe cold and a heatwave had caused many animals to evolve.
Besides being able to adapt to extreme weather, some also became exceptionally intelligent, even able to set traps and hunt humans.
But the extreme cold had only just begun, so Da Huang couldn't have evolved so quickly.
Could it be... because of the food in the Supermarket?
Sometimes the ham sausages fed to Da Huang were taken from the first floor of the Supermarket.
Jiang Fei decided to find time to do an experiment, and comforted: "Animals adapt to the environment faster than humans. As long as Da Huang is healthy, that's what matters."
"We got a lot of supplies from the Tiger Suppression Gang this time. We'll have hot pot and barbecue in 2202 at noon today."
"Come at 12 o'clock sharp, no need to bring supplies."
"Yay!" Xiao Chuxia immediately beamed with joy.
After confirming that Jiang Fei didn't need help, Xiao Chuxia sent Da Huang to 2203 and went back to catch up on sleep.
After Jiang Fei left, Xiao Chuxia had worried for a day and a night without closing her eyes.
She knew that Miss had left her in Yulan Garden for her safety.
One day, she would become strong enough to protect Miss!
—
After telling Lu Yu and Ling Zhaorui that lunch would be at 12 o'clock, Jiang Fei moved two unopened boxes to mislead them, returned to 2202, and closed the door.
First, she put the box of gold on the table into the Supermarket.
System: [Ding—Detected gold: 35000 grams]
[Currently owned gold: 47941 grams]
She still needed 80,000 grams to unlock the fourth area.
One more Tiger Suppression Gang, and she could unlock another area.
Jiang Fei indulged in sweet dreams, then took out an induction cooker, a divided hot pot, and a barbecue grill.
2202 had electricity, so there was no need for a gas stove.
After placing the pot, Jiang Fei took out the cabbage, bok choy, bean sprouts, sweet potatoes, crown daisy, and white radish from the Supermarket farm. After washing them, she arranged them on plates.
There were also three large boxes of frozen wagyu beef, three large boxes of Antarctic shrimp, and a large bag of various seafood and shellfish.
The vegetables were microwaved briefly to make them look wilted.
As for the wagyu beef and seafood, Jiang Fei grabbed a handful of dirt from the Supermarket and smeared it on the outside of the bags.
Then, she emptied the instant food from two boxes and pretended that all the items on the table were taken from them.
She didn't forget to chip some ice from the freezer, make simple ice packs, and throw them into the empty boxes.
It wasn't easy to give her teammates a good meal!
Jiang Fei had considered whether to tell Lu Yu and the others about the Gold Swallowing Supermarket.
But their acquaintance was too short, and she didn't dare to trust them completely.
Moreover, people change due to the influence of environment and mindset.
She didn't want to, and wouldn't, experience the lessons from her previous life a second time.
This time, with a divided hot pot, Jiang Fei took out two bags of soup base, one mushroom soup and one beef tallow.
The dipping sauces were also divided into spicy and non-spicy.
If they sealed the doors and windows later, the smell would at most drift to the 21st floor.
Only Grandma Xu and Xu Qianyao lived there.
This wasn't the first time the 22nd floor had hot pot, so Xu Qianyao wouldn't think too much of it.
Jiang Fei finished her preparations, and 12 o'clock arrived.
Lu Yu and the other two arrived on time, still bringing things.
Lu Yu brought a box of 24 bottles of beer, which Crippled Wang had given him separately.
Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia brought snacks they had saved from before.
"Miss, are we not going to make it through?" Xiao Chuxia looked at the abundant dishes on the table in shock.
Ling Zhaorui even swallowed his saliva: "There's even seafood, am I dreaming?"
"It's all from Crippled Wang." Jiang Fei routinely shifted the blame, kicking the empty boxes at her feet:
"I didn't expect there to be so many good things inside."
"Who's going to block the gaps in the doors and windows?"
"Once they're blocked, we can add the soup base and start eating."
"Me!" Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia eagerly went to do as told.
While the door wasn't yet sealed, Jiang Fei selected 3 uncut large sweet potatoes and a white radish, and asked Lu Yu to deliver them to Old Mrs. Xu on the 21st floor.
Meat and seafood were difficult to explain, so she could only send something else.
Lu Yu returned quickly, holding a bag of crispy candy and a bottle of sesame paste.
"Grandma Xu insisted I take them back. She said if you don't accept them, she won't talk to you anymore."
Jiang Fei had no choice but to accept them.
All the gaps in the doors and windows were blocked. Jiang Fei added the hot pot soup base, and Lu Yu was responsible for grilling the meat.
The wagyu beef sizzled with oil as it grilled, and the aroma was enticing.
The beef tallow pot was spicy and savory, and the mushroom soup pot was rich in umami. Both were delicious for blanching vegetables or meat.
The few people ate heartily, not even bothering to speak.
When they had eaten enough, Jiang Fei went to the room, took out a box from the Supermarket warehouse, returned to the living room, and placed it on the floor.
"Inside are mink coats and bulletproof vests. You can pick your sizes in a bit."
Jiang Fei took the suitcase from the coffee table and only gave Lu Yu two grenades.
"Chu Xia, you and Ling Zhaorui don't know how to use grenades, so I won't give them to you for now. When there's an opportunity later, I'll teach you how to use them, and then give each of you one."
Xiao Hua Lao and Ling Zhaorui were not like Lu Yu, who was proficient in all kinds of weapons.
If they accidentally detonated a grenade, they would all die.
The two had no objections and were also afraid of blowing themselves up.
At this moment, Lu Yu raised his hand, picked up a bottle of beer, and smiled faintly.
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be having hot pot and barbecue today. I toast to you."
It would be easier to ask questions once he had a few drinks.
