Chapter 596: Don’t Make Me Worry
For such a request, Ling Feng naturally could not refuse, so he immediately nodded his head, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get it done!"
After speaking, he took out his phone and called Mo Jiaolan.
Since Chen Yuhe wanted to revive her family’s mining business, the two sisters had been in the county town for the past few days, and he had no idea how much progress they’d made.
Ling Feng felt it was time for them to come back and rest for a few days, so he took the opportunity to make the call.
After Mo Jiaolan answered, he immediately said, "Help me buy a few cases of good baijiu in the county town, the aged kind, without regard to price, just so long as you can get it!"
"Huh? What do you need it for?" asked Mo Jiaolan.
"Some guests have come to the house, and they all can really hold their liquor, so we need to stock up more; otherwise, it won’t be enough!" Ling Feng said with a wry smile.
Chu Nan, who was helping out, heard this and couldn’t help but look up and chide with a laugh, "You little rascal, who are you calling a big drinker?"
Ling Feng chuckled and heard Mo Jiaolan say from the other side, "Alright, when do you need it by?"
"The sooner the better, preferably before noon, and also, have Yuhe come back with you, I have something I want to discuss with you both."
"Can’t you say it over the phone?" Mo Jiaolan hesitated and asked.
Ling Feng, "I can’t. It has to be discussed in person. Whatever you have at hand, put it aside or find someone else to help, and come back quickly!"
"Well, alright then."
Mo Jiaolan was a businesswoman outside, but in Ling Feng’s presence, she was a gentle woman and obediently agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Feng rolled up his sleeves, "Everyone, keep it up. There will be good food and drink waiting for you at noon, but there’s one thing, you’re not allowed to drink too much because we still have work to do in the afternoon!"
"See? Ling Feng is now truly a capitalist, and we’ve all become his indentured labor!" Zhang He said with a bitter smile.
Chu Nan and Wang Laogen looked at each other and laughed together!
Although what was said wasn’t wrong, both old men were willing and even happy to work!
After all, this kid Ling Feng was becoming more and more impressive!
Moreover, with Chu Nan bringing over those twenty people from the mountains, the breeding farm now had over forty people working, and as everyone gradually mastered the technique of opening crab shells, more and more empty shells piled up on the ground.
Seeing the mountain of crab shells, Zhang He couldn’t help asking, "What do you plan to do with these?"
"Don’t know, throw them away?" Ling Feng said blankly.
"Throw them away?"
Zhang He was not happy when he heard this, "The meat is valuable, and so are the shells. Don’t believe me? Watch this!"
With that, he stood up, pulled out his pistol from his waist, and fired at the crab shell!
"Bang!"
A gunshot, and people in the distance were startled, not knowing what had happened.
Zhang He, however, was unfazed and pointed at the crab shell, "See? This thing can be used as a bulletproof vest!"
"Eh... You’re not wrong, but this stuff can’t be processed, and it’s so hard, how can it be made into a bulletproof vest?" Ling Feng said speechlessly.
"If you don’t want it, I do, don’t throw it away, just leave it to me!" Zhang He said.
Ling Feng couldn’t have been happier and immediately nodded, "No problem, just find your own transport for it!"
...
...
After a busy day, five batches of crabs were finally processed, and after packaging, a total of ten tons of crab meat and more than one ton of crab roe were harvested.
The crab meat was easy to deal with, as it could be handed over directly to the Security Bureau, but the crab roe was something valuable, and Chu Nan and Wang Laogen had been suggesting to Ling Feng since the morning to not sell it!
After all, the price of one hundred yuan per jin for this stuff was just too low; they both couldn’t bear to part with it.
Ling Feng, feeling helpless, decided to stay.
When it was time for dinner, a feast of crab meat was served alongside twenty-year-old Moutai liquor, leaving everyone utterly satisfied and feeling like the day’s hard work had been worthwhile.
Zhang He, unable to hold back, asked while eating, "Tell me, how much of that crab do you have left? You’re not going to make us work another full day tomorrow, are you?"
"No!"
Ling Feng shook his head, and seeing him relax, he then chuckled mischievously, "Because one day won’t be enough; you’ll have to work the day after tomorrow as well!"
Zhang He’s chopsticks almost fell to the ground as he took a serious look at Ling Feng before letting out a sigh, "I’m suddenly having some regrets!"
Zhang Meng, being straightforward, asked immediately upon hearing this, "Boss, shall we go back tonight then?"
"Shut up, go back what go back, we still have important matters to attend to!" Zhang He glared at him.
Ling Feng chuckled inwardly, but knowing that everyone was tired, he said, "The work you helped me with today, I’ve taken it to heart. No matter what happens tomorrow, I’ll still provide everyone with the best food!"
"More crab meat? You can get inflamed from eating it every day!" Zhang He remarked.
"Of course not crab meat, it’s another mysterious food. Trust me, after you’ve tried it, you won’t want to leave this place," Ling Feng said, pretending to be mysterious.
Zhang He was taken aback, his mouth agape, "Just how many secrets do you have, kid?"
"Not many, just that one!" Ling Feng said with animated eyebrows, a proud look on his face.
After nightfall, everyone, having eaten their fill, dispersed and went to rest.
It was only then that Ling Feng had the time to teleport to the Nine Heavens and afterward he took a look at the wooden houses in the First Layer.
Not to mention, Ling Yao was quite skilled and dexterous; she had built a row of houses that were quaint and elegant, and also spacious and bright. Standing inside, one could see the flowering seascape and trees laden with fruit outside, feeling as though one was in an earthly paradise.
As he was enjoying the beautiful view, Mo Jiaolan’s voice came from behind, "Finally finished with your busy day?"
"Yes, thanks for today. If it weren’t for the twenty-year Moutai, I fear I couldn’t have shut Zhang He up," Ling Feng said, turning around with a smile.
Mo Jiaolan smiled and then inquired, "Did you ask us here for a reason?"
"Where’s Yuhe?"
Instead of answering, Ling Feng asked.
"She’s playing with the kids. I’m here; that’s enough. Go ahead," Mo Jiaolan said softly.
Ling Feng smiled, stepped forward, and took her hand, "It’s nothing serious, just that I hope you can stay here for the next few days. That way, I won’t have to worry about anything."
"There’s always a reason, right?" Mo Jiaolan asked.
"Yes, Chu Nan and Wang Laogen rushed over here because the Black Dragon Sect might be coming my way. You all are my weaknesses, so I don’t want you to be affected by my affairs," Ling Feng explained.
"So that’s what it is!"
Mo Jiaolan, realizing the situation, then asked uncertainly, "The Black Dragon Sect, that’s the one related to Feng Ling, right? Are they very powerful?"
"Yes, very powerful, or they wouldn’t have alarmed so many people," Ling Feng nodded.
A trace of worry flickered across Mo Jiaolan’s face, "Then you must be extra careful!"
"No worries, with my luck, how could anything happen to me?" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"Don’t ever talk like that. If something happened to you, we wouldn’t know what to do!" Mo Jiaolan said, looking down.
Seeing the hint of melancholy in her expression, Ling Feng felt a twinge of discomfort and quickly embraced her, "I understand, so I’ll be extra careful. I won’t end up like last time with Luo Nanlin!"
"As long as you remember!" Mo Jiaolan said softly.
