Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 231 - Grandma’s Strength Is Not Weak

Chapter 231 -231 Grandma’s Strength Is Not Weak

Lu Jianguo heard they got another wild boar, a puzzled look in his eyes, “You got another wild boar? You must be careful, wild boars usually move in groups, often starting with groups of twenty or more. It’s very dangerous.”

Lu Ruisheng replied, “We know, Dad. We only make a move when we’re sure it’s a lone one. We wouldn’t dare touch a boar group.”

Gu Pan listened to her husband spout nonsense with his eyes open and nodded along. After all, they couldn’t tell the truth—they had dealt with a pack of wild boars before. But how could they admit that?

Would others believe them if they did? And if they believed it, wouldn’t they view them as monsters?

“Remember one thing when you go out, safety is most important,” Lu Jianguo admonished again. In his heart, nothing was more important than his son and daughter-in-law’s safety.

Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan quickly assured him they remembered, sincerity shining in their eyes.

Lu Jianguo was good in that way; he didn’t nag about the same issue. Having made his point, he moved on to talk about the Breeding Eggs. “There are now forty Breeding Eggs that we can confirm are alive. The remaining eight are uncertain, but the survival rate should be very high.”

Gu Pan, thinking of the eggs at home, felt she couldn’t keep it a secret, so she said, “Dad, Ruisheng and I previously brought back some quail eggs. We didn’t think about incubating them at first and just kept them for eating. After we realized how precious Breeding Eggs are, we tried incubating the remaining eight at home. They’ve been left at home for a while, so we didn’t dare to hand them over to the base, fearing a waste of resources. But rest assured, our incubator is very professional.”

Lu Jianguo was surprised and put down his chopsticks. “You two also have a lot of initiative. Although you got them yourselves and should manage them, if something like this happens again, you must consult with me. No matter how good your incubator is, it’s not as reliable as the base’s professional staff, and the eggs are too precious nowadays.”

Gu Pan thought about it and agreed. She had an incubator but no experience. Honestly, it was all relying on the vastness of her “Space,” and she even considered trying a few more times. But truthfully, she was not as successful as the base’s professionals, which was certain.

She said, “In the future, we will definitely discuss it with you first.” Her attitude was absolutely correct because what Lu Jianguo had said was logical.

Lu Jianguo smiled, “Actually, sometimes I think you two have more ideas than I do. I’m getting old, and I should listen to your views more in the future.”

Lu Ruisheng served Lu Jianguo some vegetables, “We should communicate more in the future and learn from each other.”

“Good, good, good,” Lu Jianguo cheerfully agreed and continued eating. Honestly, the food was really good.

After dinner, Lu Jianguo still went back to his own house to sleep. He couldn’t always disturb the young couple; he was very aware of that boundary. Initially, he really enjoyed seeing his child and had stayed over, but he also knew he couldn’t always be a disturbance. There should be an appropriate distance between two generations for a better relationship.

In today’s conversation with Lu Jianguo, they uncovered another secret: their step-grandmother once had some involvement with mercenaries, which Lu Jianguo wasn’t very clear about.

This was also why neither Lu Jianguo nor Jianshe could find any evidence, no matter how much they suspected. The culprit was too professional.

The next day, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went out in the afternoon. Since they had set traps yesterday, they didn’t need to go too early, but they couldn’t wait until the next day either. To catch animals in good condition, they needed to put in more effort.

The base’s military forces had also gone hunting recently, but the acidic rain had killed many animals, leaving few behind. This made it increasingly difficult. They had been out for a long time and hadn’t returned, showing that their catch wasn’t great.

Therefore, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t hold much hope, but going out allowed them to have an excuse to get more meat, and a source for it when eating.

Upon reaching the mountain, they found three traps empty.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were quite disappointed. There were two traps left, and though they knew the chances were slim, there was still a possibility.

At the next one, there was movement in the cage, reviving their spirits. They hurried over.

Inside the cage was a small, gray rabbit, skinny but lively.

Lu Ruisheng picked up the cage and secured the door again; they couldn’t let this rabbit escape.

Then, heading to the next trap, it too, was utterly empty.

They couldn’t bring a wild boar back every time, so today they pretended to return with a modest harvest.

They went directly to the breeding farm, exchanged the rabbit for contribution points, and then went home.

After returning home, they preserved six jars of salted wild boar meat and boiled a lot of pork fat to store in jars.

In the future, when giving some to neighbors and Lu Jianguo, they would say that the wild boars they caught weren’t brought back, but instead, some were air-dried outside and some preserved.

This way, their people would have meat to eat without raising suspicions.

These past few days, their leafy vegetables had grown big enough to eat, and with Gu Pan and others bringing back meat from outside, everyone’s complexion had improved significantly, and they were looking healthier.

Today, Lu Xuerong’s tailoring shop finally opened for business, and both Feng Zhekai and Cheng Yang had taken the day off.

The shop was small, with just one sewing machine. Truth be told, not many modern people knew how to sew, so this shop was indeed quite necessary.

The opening was simple, just some decorations hung up; there wasn’t much fuss over it at that time.

Nevertheless, Gu Pan still managed to surprise everyone by pulling out some hand-held confetti cannons for the opening.

Once those were used, the atmosphere instantly changed.

At noon, Lu Jianguo even made a special trip over, giving enough face to Lu Xuerong.

In the afternoon, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to the residence of the second-hand dealer to find him and engage in another trade.

The second-hand dealer lived in an apartment block next to some bungalows and was very pleased to see them, welcoming them into his home.

After sitting down, they didn’t immediately talk business because they all knew what the meeting was about, but there was no rush, so they made small talk first.

The second-hand dealer said, “I can tell you two are not ordinary people, being able to choose freelance work at the base; definitely not ones who like living in peace.”

Gu Pan replied, “So we should look forward to a long-term cooperation.”

The second-hand dealer nodded, “Certainly, our boss was very satisfied with the goods you provided last time. Rest assured, we conduct our business legitimately and won’t short-change you on the price.”

Gu Pan wondered, is this what they call legitimate business?

However, there was no need to discuss that openly. She continued, “We have the supplies and are not worried about finding buyers, but we prefer sincere partners. So we hope you will be as genuine as you claim.”

Firm but fair, that was Gu Pan’s skilled approach to negotiation.

The second-hand dealer promptly assured that he would conduct business with integrity.

Afterwards, they discussed the goods they would trade next time. They couldn’t always use the same thing, but since they weren’t well-stocked with weapons, they decided on some antibiotics and fifty kilos of grain.

They agreed to meet outside the base the day after tomorrow to trade.

With the business talk settled, Lu Ruisheng asked the second-hand dealer about that entertainment venue within the base. He and Gu Pan were curious about it, feeling that the second-hand dealer might know something.

Indeed, the second-hand dealer was aware of it, “About that, I can’t provide you with much information for now. Once our trades reach a certain volume, our boss will personally meet with you. Then, without you asking, he’ll introduce you there.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng grew more curious about it, and Gu Pan asked, “So is this place inside or outside the base?”
