Chapter 774 Wu Youai Goes to the Capital
After all, in this apocalypse, you can't just keep having fun as long as you are happy. Those who had a lot of money in their previous lives lived a more comfortable life than before the apocalypse. The entire Xishan Mountain belonged to them, and they had 600 bodyguards at their disposal. All kinds of delicacies from land and sea and various luxury goods were lined up to enjoy. It would probably take years to drive all the luxury cars if they changed one every day.
Just jokingly speaking, if Qian Duoduo’s silly son said, “I’m lost at home,” it’s not bragging, but the real truth.
Qian Duoduo is a renowned philanthropist, yet how much food and supplies does he donate every year? And what happens to all this? Everyone understands the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold."
So if you want to live a better, more comfortable and more satisfying life in the end times, there are some things you have to do.
"So, I agree that my cousin can go to the imperial capital." Jingshu voted by raising her hand.
"Why are you going? You'ai is not a wild girl like you. You are strong and can wield guns. Anyone who dares to provoke you is really looking for death. You'ai is weaker than a fat chicken and has a stubborn head. You are not like you who have been traveling around since childhood. The farthest place you have been to is Xinlan City... The imperial capital is so far away. What if you get bullied?" Jingnai also disagreed.
When Jing's father heard his mother's evaluation of his daughter, he nodded. He knew his daughter well, so he felt at ease letting her travel the world.
Wu Youai is too weak and stays at home. He can't even tell the directions when he goes out. In this man-eating apocalypse, it is safer for him to stay at home.
Third Aunt was also very conflicted, but it was rare to see Youai so committed to something. Although she didn't want her daughter to travel so far, she still asked, "Youai, what are you thinking? Do you really want to go to the capital? You have to understand how difficult transportation is these days, and the consequences of a long journey..."
What Third Aunt didn't say was that a few days ago she saw Jing's father and mother crying because of their worry about Jingshu. They couldn't even eat well day and night, and they were really unable to sleep or eat. She felt sad seeing this, and she didn't expect that it would be her turn so soon.
Wu Youai remained calm. "This research is about to yield results. My advisor and I have devoted all our efforts to this over the past few years. If I don't go... it will be a regret in my life. It doesn't really matter whether I go or not, as long as I complete the final rounds of calculations. But in the end... I also want to witness a miracle, so that the cafeteria won't have to eat this stuff anymore. If we have that synthetic meat, we can make it into all sorts of delicious beef and chicken patties."
"In that case, then go ahead and take care of yourself..." Third Aunt didn't say anything else. After all, she was going with her mentor, so she would be able to ensure her safety no matter what, right?
The third aunt thought of those quiet and steady young men, with their long hair hanging down and a quiet smile, who gave people a sense of security and stability.
Third Aunt had already made the decision, and no matter how reluctant Jingnai was, there was nothing she could do. She turned around and went to Youai to prepare food for the journey. Even if she couldn't get the good stuff right now, the milk curds with black sesame seeds were still okay.
Master Jing also asked, "How about I bring you a portion of Jingshu's things?"
Wu Youai quickly shook her head. She remembered the things Jingshu brought with her... they were too weird. She even brought a toilet for going to the toilet and a toilet for sitting...
Jingshu was very happy to hear that the mission was basically accomplished and that she could promote synthetic meat. She hoped that before the next migration, she could get more food to fill their stomachs and prevent so many people from starving to death.
Before leaving, Jingshu promised to send some specialty gifts to her friends in the imperial capital through Wu Youai, such as Tank Zhennantian and his group, the group of people guarding her food, and the old guys from the Pharmaceutical Association. One purpose was to maintain relationships, and the other was to give Wu Youai some bargaining chips so that he could find these people if he encountered difficulties.
Wu Youai never knew that Jingshu had unknowingly made so many friends and connections in the imperial capital, and Jingnai and Third Aunt didn't feel sorry for the gifts she gave her. After all, this was Wu Youai's guarantee.
Even if the luggage was reduced further, there were still several boxes, which was very difficult for Wu Youai to carry. Fortunately, the tutor was as coquettish as Yang Yang back then. She only wore a coquettish winter coat and dressed herself like a character in a comic book. She didn't bring anything with her, so she could help Wu Youai carry the things.
Her mentor boasted, "I knew you women were troublesome, you have to bring so many things." After a while, he asked Wu Youai, "Did you bring the food your grandmother cooked? I can't forget your food once I've had it. When we get back from this mission, please treat me to another meal."
Wu Youai said contentedly, "They knew I liked to eat dumplings, so they brought a lot of frozen glutinous rice balls, and some dark food, all with black sesame seeds."
The food looked horrible, just black lumps, and no one knew what they were, but they tasted delicious. In order to keep a low profile, Jingshu and her family tried their best. Who would dare to take out the food so blatantly?
After Wu Youai left, Jingshu was not idle either, and the Jing family became even busier. It was November and December, and it would be the end of the year soon. However, this year was a little more difficult than last year. The weather was colder and there was less food.
It's more than 30 degrees below zero and is about to approach 40 degrees below zero.
Before the end of the world, Wucheng had never had such cold weather. It was really cold weather that could freeze your ears off. Even though Jingshu was wearing three layers of clothes inside and three layers outside, wrapping herself tightly, she still felt cold, let alone ordinary people.
There were also people who froze to death in Wucheng. Because at least not many people starved to death in this life, this time people froze to death and it became big news.
Jingshu was so careless that she forgot about this and always wanted to get more food to avoid starving to death, but she didn't think that the weather was so cold, which was also a big problem.
"How do we get supplies to keep warm? We can't just make them appear out of thin air." Jingshu sighed, ultimately helpless. Planting cotton, raising silkworms, etc., on a large scale are not realistic.
It's not so cold all over the country. It's only so cold because of the latitude of Wucheng. The temperature in the south is only minus 20 degrees Celsius now. I heard that the hottest area is even more than 10 degrees Celsius.
Jingshu would never go out, so the work of the Pharmaceutical Association was completed remotely, and the affairs of the insect cake factory were also on the right track. The only thing that needed to be taken care of was the decoration of the building and the digging of the mud mermaids. The cold did affect the digging of the holes, slowing down the mud mermaids a lot, but that was all. Digging holes was a must, and they had to be spacious and solid, and they would dig whatever they could.
By the way, the dividends from the eight factories for the first month have been received and are on the way. Jingshu is looking forward to seeing if there are any good things in them.
