Chapter 1453: Need More Nutrients
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sky was dark in the apocalypse. Yet it shined brightly in Xue Yan’s world.
Seeing that they didn’t have to go home in the morning, Jiang Yue said to Xue Yan, “Let’s go to the main shop to find Sifu first. I want to bring some chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep when we return to the apocalypse next time. We can let the people in the base slaughter them. They can’t eat vegetables all the time. Besides, they have been eating rations for a long time. Moreover, there are many pregnant women and children in the base. They won’t survive for long without nutrients. It’s useless even if they drink more water from the s.p.a.ce.”
Xue Yan nodded, “However, there are hundreds of thousands of people to feed. Even if we feed them once, the amount of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and sheep needed is too many. Moreover, it will not be the first time we bring stuff there. It will depend on when the apocalypse can recover and when we can raise livestock safely. Then, the amount needed will be even greater. The amount that our livestock farm can supply is not far from enough.”
“That’s why I’m looking for Sifu.” Jiang Yue said. “Sifu is involved in all kinds of businesses. He must have his channels in this regard. If you, the Emperor, were to come, of course, the process would be faster. However, once you give an edict, it will be a big deal, but we don’t need to go that far. Let Sifu do it. Sifu knows what I am, so he won’t ask too much.”
“Alright then.” Xue Yan nodded again.
Then, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan went to the main shop to look for their Sifu.
Sifu was looking at the accounts in the accounting room on the second floor. When he saw them, he asked the people in the accounting room to leave first. He smiled at them and said, “I don’t know where you guys went. Fortunately, you came back in a few days. Otherwise, I won’t know how to help you cover up this lie with your family. Alright, there’s no need to thank me. Tell me, what are you doing here? You must want something. You didn’t go home this time. You came to look for me first. What is it?”
Hearing that they wanted a large number of live birds, pigs, and sheep sounded like an easy feat to Sifu. “You can take whatever you can from our livestock farm first. If you buy more in the future, put them in the livestock farm. I’ll expand the livestock farm soon anyway. In the future, you would only need to go there to get them. There’s no place in town to store so many of them. It’s better to put them in the livestock farm.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had no objections. “Thank you, Sifu.”
“What are you thanking me for?” Xue Sifu laughed. Just like when they were still children, he patted their heads. “By the way, there aren’t many days left until your wedding. Everyone is busy preparing a lot of things, you shouldn’t be running around anymore.”
“Got it, Sifu.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both agreed. In the following days, they would be at home during the day. But at night, they would go to the apocalypse again.
After leaving the main shop, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan rode to their livestock farm.
First, she gave the people who worked on the livestock farm a day off. Then, Jiang Yue put the live birds, pigs, sheep, and cages in the s.p.a.ce.
Immediately after, Xue Yan called out the hidden guards nearby and had them help look after the livestock farm. He also had the hidden guards lie when the time came, saying that the live birds, pigs, and sheep had all been bought. Only then did he and Jiang Yue ride their horses and go home.
When the family saw that they had returned, they were very happy. However, just like their Sifu, they told the engaged couple not to go out for the next few days. They said that they were about to get married and had to stay home.
They naturally agreed.
