I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 824 - 914: Shu, Before You Leave, Tell Us If You Need Anything—We’ll Get It Ready for You!

When Jing Shu opened the mansion’s door, the whole family was stunned by what they saw inside.

"Oh my, have we entered a European billionaire’s palace?" That was Mr. Jing’s first reaction.

Look at this luxurious decoration, this space even bigger and more open than the Wu City villa, where a dozen people standing inside still seemed exceedingly spacious, along with a large dining room and an oversized two-in-one kitchen.

"Sweetie, this big crystal chandelier that looks like a diamond is quite attractive, huh?" Mrs. Jing immediately noticed the luxurious chandelier from the United States.

Jing Shu chuckled, this isn’t just like a diamond, it is a diamond, but it’s better not to tell the Jing Family the truth, lest they feel burdened using it.

Of course, Grandma Jing and Mr. Jing focused their attention on the balcony in the hall, which was filled with garlic sprouts, chives, green onions, and cilantro, among others.

There’s also the oversized kitchen, oversized refrigerators, and oversized storage rooms that give a full sense of security just by looking at them.

"My dear granddaughter, in all these houses, is it all food?" Grandma Jing pointed incredulously at the open doors, revealing neatly stacked supplies.

Jing Shu shrugged: "You guys can go and see for yourselves. I went to Yangcheng a few days ago to inspect work over there. The things there are delicious and cheap. I thought our family isn’t lacking, but the more the merrier, right? So, I brought back a bit of food, dried goods, crops, saplings, and so on."

Grandma Jing and Mr. Jing opened each storage room one by one, oh my goodness, all sorts of grains and oils stacked to the brim, enough food for another ten years, with a complete array of seasonings, and all kinds of exotic foods. In short, the Jing Family won’t worry about food in the future!

"Great, great, great! With food in the apocalypse, there’s no panic. No matter what happens next, we have a plan!"

Mr. Jing took a puff of his cigarette: "I don’t think the city wall is high enough, I’ll reinforce it with Jing An in the next few days."

Mr. Jing nearly stumbled.

Jing Shu gulped, this four to five meters high, one meter thick prison wall isn’t safe enough?

"Grandpa, Grandma, the issue now is that I’ve accidentally filled the villa with supplies, but the supplies you brought from Wu City probably have no place to go now. So, why don’t you build a few basement storage rooms first?"

"Oh right, that’s true. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. We should hide some food underground in case of emergencies."

So, following Jing Shu, the Jing Family went to the backyard to inspect the orchard to see where in the 700 square meters was suitable for a basement.

But everyone wasn’t too enthusiastic about the orchard.

"Shu, it’s not that I’m saying this, but I’ve worked in the Ministry of Agriculture for so long, and fruit trees are the hardest to handle. As the saying goes, it takes three years to grow trees and five years to bear fruit. I’m afraid you’ve been deceived with this orchard, not to mention rare trees like durians and cherries. If these could really produce, they’d be treasured and never sold."

Mr. Jing nodded as well: "But I see it’s growing well. We’ll see how it goes. If it’s no good next year, we can chop it down."

Jing Shu shrugged indifferently, hoping they wouldn’t be too shocked to drop their jaws later on.

After seeing the orchard, they moved on to the livestock pen. For the sake of Da Hua, Ermao, Gou Dan, and the other beloved livestock of the family to have a house soon, Grandma Jing immediately had Mr. Jing and Mr. Jing build the pen.

Nonetheless, they couldn’t decide where to dig the basement.

As long as they didn’t dig into someone else’s territory, Jing Shu didn’t mind.

The first day the Jing Family arrived, they were bustling about, in delightful chaos. Oh, why say delightful chaos?

Because when the fat chicken snuggled into Grandma Jing’s embrace for a hug and publicly performed a feat of laying twenty eggs, it solidified its irreplaceable status in the family, and from then on, delightful chaos ensued!

The fat chicken proudly followed Grandma Jing, mocking Da Hua, who sometimes had constipation while laying eggs, picked a fight with Erniu, who was giving milk, and snatched some vegetable leaves meant for the rabbits. In short, it caused a ruckus, leaving the Jing Family in disarray.

In the evening, it was dinner time.

The whole family sat in the oversized two-in-one dining room, the table laid with a sumptuous dinner, much of which Jing Shu had packed and brought back from Shunde.

Jing Shu specially poured everyone some rare Sprite to celebrate the opening of the new home.

But not even the aroma of the delicious food on the table could surpass Grandma Jing’s roar.

"What?? You’ve only been at the South Sea a few days, and now you’re going to go out again in a few days?? And to such a far place? That’s too dangerous!" Grandma Jing’s roar echoed throughout the Jing Family. The fat chicken quivered and huddled in a corner, this time, it didn’t want to go out again.

Being out for too long, after all, isn’t as comfortable as strutting around at home.

At home, with meals and accommodation provided, it could lay eggs while lying down, and have a flock willing to follow.

Outside, running around meant laying eggs while on the move, having to act as an assistant to carry stuff, and sometimes even needing to play the role of a fighting chicken.

"Grandma, it’s just a schedule from above for us to go there and procure supplies. It’s just transporting food and supplies by boat. There’s no danger. I just have the connections to be able to tag along and get supplies at cost price, imagine that scene."

Mr. Jing clicked his tongue: "No danger?"

"Truly no danger at all, Yang Yang is going with us too."

Wu You’ai, just back from the wharf, her glasses reflected brightly, showing a hint of helplessness, but she saw through yet kept silent.

To lighten the mood, Wu You’ai started discussing today’s events: "The large troop from Wu City is arriving in batches tomorrow. Supplies donated from all over the country will accompany them, a variety of things; everyone will have a feast, and we’ll also receive some allowances."

Third Aunt Jinglai also chimed in with a smile:

"The Township Government’s coordination work is almost complete, each community has been allocated places. It’s just that everyone has just migrated, and the old city area hasn’t been cleared yet, and there are too many rotten corpse insects occupying it. We estimate that everyone will have to work hard for four to five days before we’re all busy, so we won’t come home for meals. Jing Shu, before you leave, let me know what you want to eat, and I’ll pickled some vegetables, pickled garlic for you to take along."

"Yes, speaking of which, the stuff from those Old Russians surely doesn’t taste good. Grandma needs to pack you some dried goods and tasty instant foods, like dried sweet potatoes, roasted and dried snacks for snacks. And I’ll fry some crispy dough sticks, dried fish to fill you up, braise some pig intestines, pig faces, pig ears, duck wings, duck intestines, duck feet, to add as side dishes."

Mrs. Jing nodded approvingly: "Miss Jing likes eating meat, better prepare more spicy beef jerky, cumin beef jerky, smoked sausage, preserved sausage, and five-spice sausage.""

Mr. Jing tapped his pipe: "Think about anything else you need, Grandpa will get it for you."

You see, how did the topic turn into this? Jing Shu smiled while looking at her cousin Wu You’ai, and then at everyone else.
