Chapter 327 Welcome Banquet

Chief Liu: "These are my son Liu Yong and my daughter Liu Hui."

Commander Liu's son and daughter are both good-looking and wearing brand-new military uniforms. At first glance, they look very dashing.

The two greeted each other: "Greetings, Commander Lu."

Old Lu nodded, "He looks like a promising young man."

Liu Yong is a lieutenant colonel, and Liu Hui is a major.

Old Lu then introduced Lu Yu and Bai Shuang to them.

A flicker of amazement crossed the eyes of the Liu siblings, but it quickly vanished.

The two greeted them politely.

Shen Baoshan: "I never imagined that Lu Yu, at such a young age, would already hold such a high position."

Old Lu: "Commander Shen, you flatter me."

Staff Officer Li: "The descendants of the Lu family are indeed extraordinary, both talented and beautiful. The first thing I noticed when I entered the hall was this handsome man and beautiful woman."

He was Shen Baoshan's advisor.

Mr. Lu: "You flatter me."

Liu Yong: "General Lu is truly outstanding; I, Liu Yong, cannot even begin to praise him."

Lu Yu: "You flatter me."

Commander Liu: "What, isn't your granddaughter-in-law a soldier?"

He hoped to see a hint of embarrassment on Old Lu's face, that he couldn't let Chief Lu have the upper hand in everything.

Everyone knows that the Lu family is a military family. In the military base, only those with high qualifications are qualified to be soldiers, and being a soldier also represents honor.

Old Lu remained expressionless. "She isn't."

A hint of disdain flashed in Liu Hui's eyes. Lu Yu's wife looked so beautiful, but it turned out she was just a pretty face, not even a soldier.

Staff Officer Li praised Lu Yu and Bai Shuang, which made Liu Hui and Liu Yong feel a little uncomfortable.

Most people have a competitive mentality. Although they are all descendants of military families, Lu Yu is clearly far superior to them, whether in appearance, position, or ability.

Old Lu knew those two leaders before the disaster, but they hadn't seen each other since. The two bases would call each other on important matters.

The next day, Mr. Lu accompanied the group on a tour of the base, and Bai Shuang was also among them.

The agricultural experts were amazed by the growth of the plants during their visit to the planting platform.

"Your crops are growing so well! Do you have any special methods?"

They had always studied and carefully tended to the crops at their base, but they just couldn't grow well.

Old Man Cannon: "This is mainly thanks to Miss Bai; we didn't contribute much."

They looked at Bai Shuang.

"Actually, it's nothing much. We just raise chickens in the shed first, which can both control pests and accumulate fertilizer."

Bai Shuang pointed to the chicken coop.

Liu Hui turned her head away. So she was just a farmer. She had thought that Mrs. Lu Yu had some extraordinary talent.

The expert understood, "This is indeed a good method. Only with fertile soil can good crops grow."

Another expert said, "We only focused on keeping it warm and increasing the light. Although we also tried to improve fertility, it was far less effective than chicken manure."

Commander Wang: "Isn't that the only reason? The Yuwen family did the same thing, but their crops didn't turn out as well."

Bai Shuang looked at Commander Wang with eyes as cold as ice.

"That's because your in-laws are less skilled."

Before she could even speak, Commander Liu retorted, glaring angrily at Commander Wang.

"Your in-laws are good for nothing, but they're number one at causing trouble."

Commander Liu thought to himself, "Bastard! How dare he undermine his own people in front of outsiders! Not every secret formula can be revealed."

Lu Yu: "Then what's the reason, Commander Wang? Your in-laws have been farming for over a year now."

Old Lu: "Alright, everyone, say less."

Commander Wang gritted his teeth, but remained silent.

It's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in the internal conflicts of someone else's base.

The expert asked Bai Shuang, "How did you come up with this method?"

"Inspired by the insect plague during the polar day."

The expert from the other side asked, "During the insect infestation, you were still farming?"

"You don't farm?"

"Old Man Cannon asked in surprise."

"We can't farm the land outside, so we only farm the land on the planting platform."

At that time, they had communicated with the local authorities. They had raised a lot of chickens, but farming? They simply couldn't do it.

The seeds were sown and then eaten by insects.

"Even if the chickens eat the worms, there are still worm eggs left, and before long, there will be worms again."

Bai Shuang: "It's probably because you raise fewer chickens. Our chickens have even eaten all the insect eggs."

"How could that be? The ones next to it will run over; we've tested it."

“Use greenhouses to separate them, or separate the chicken farm from the plantation.”

"But we tried it that way, and it still didn't work."

Bai Shuang: "Farming is indeed not easy when there are rampant insect infestations. At that time, she mainly had a lot of chickens."

How many chickens do you raise per acre?

"Fifty."

Bai Shuang: "We release about 500 birds per mu, and it takes 20 days to a month for them to be ready."

"We just lack patience."

Liu Hui: "So many insects! Is one acre of land enough to feed 500 chickens for 20 days?"

The other expert said, "We can add more feed."

Pao Pao: "They'll only eat all the insect eggs if they're left hungry."

The expert on the other side said, "I understand, this is the key."

The main reason our previous experiments failed was that we didn't keep the chickens hungry.

But it's too late to regret it now; the polar day insect plague is over.

Shen Baoshan: "It seems the Kyoto base is teeming with talent!"

Mr. Lu: "Our Chinese nation is full of talented people."

"Yes, it is our China."

Next, they visited a pharmaceutical factory and a hospital, much to the surprise of the medical experts.

"In the apocalypse, you actually have such a complete set of medical equipment and pharmaceutical supplies?"

The base's health department personnel said, "These all belong to the Bai family."

Bai Shuang nodded, "I kept it. You know, my family owns a hospital."

Liu Hui: "Aren't you a farmer?"

Her words amused Bai Shuang, who didn't miss the disdain on her face. "Yes, I'm a farmer too."

Commander Liu glanced at Liu Hui and said, "Farming is another skill of Boss Bai. She is the daughter of the Bai family."

What's wrong with this person's thought process? They even seem to look down on farmers.

In these desolate times, where medicine is scarce, people couldn't help but buy the medicines from Bai Shuang Pharmacy.

Commander Liu looked at Elder Lu and asked, "Could some of these medical instruments and medicines be allocated to the southern base?"

"This is a private hospital."

They then looked at Bai Shuang.

"Although we are also short of medicines, we can still sell you some."

As for the equipment, I managed to save a little bit; if I give it away, we won't have any left.

Those medical devices are now non-renewable and cannot be distributed to anyone.

Commander Liu: "Could we send a few doctors over there?"

Bai Shuang: "You can go to the base hospital and ask. If someone is willing to go, you can take them with you."

"This won't work. The doctors here are all from before the disaster, the original team from the Bai family."

Chief Liu then looked at Elder Lu.

Old Lu turned his head away. "Alright, Old Liu, stop being envious. I already told you, this is a private hospital."

Chief Liu, ...isn't this your granddaughter-in-law's hospital? Say something, she won't listen, and we're not taking it for nothing.
