"They're probably slaughtering a pig."
Bai Shuang: "Hahaha... Grandpa is so creative."
Grandpa Lu told the officer, "As long as it doesn't violate discipline or delay orders, I won't interfere. This applies not only to my grandson but also to that subordinate officer."
The implication is that as long as people finish their work and don't misbehave, they can do whatever they want.
Although he never said it, Old Master Lu knew that his granddaughter-in-law had a special skill.
It is a blessing for the Lu family and for China. All he can do is keep it a secret and protect her as much as he can.
Grandpa Lu: "So, what exactly are you doing?"
Bai Shuang: "Didn't I tell you before that we've collected quite a few snow rats in the Kingdom of Wanta?"
"How much did you collect?"
Although Grandpa Lu had heard them talk about collecting snow rats, he subconsciously thought that they had collected a few hundred, or at most a thousand.
"I don't know, I haven't counted, but there's a lot, enough to keep Lu Yu's military camp busy for several months."
In the Kingdom of Wanta, Bai Shuang and her companions later risked their lives to collect all the snow rats they could find until they could no longer find any.
Grandpa Lu, ...
Lu Yu's army has more than 60,000 men. If they have to keep busy for several months, how many will they have to kill?
Is that meat edible?
"able."
Grandpa Lu: "At that time, we'll sell some to the base to alleviate the food shortage and also supplement everyone's protein intake."
Those were collected by children at great personal risk, and the state should not take advantage of individuals.
"All right."
Sell some to them, get some points, and then open a hospital.
Grandpa Lu: "Are there any alive?"
Bai Shuang: "They're all alive."
Grandpa Lu: "...keep some offspring alive; they'll be useful in the future."
"good."
As the leader of the base, Grandpa Lu always considered things from the perspective of the public interest.
Bai Shuang is willing to help as long as it doesn't harm her. As a member of China, she believes in the principle of mutual dependence.
On November 10th, a month after the snow rat processing began, the first batch of snow rat meat and skin had been processed.
For this batch of snow rat meat, Bai Xue contributed 100,000 jin (50,000 kg) in exchange for 1.3 million points from the base.
Meat at the base supermarket costs 13 points to buy and sells for 15 points.
As for snow squirrel fur, pick out the ones with the best colors and collect them. Ask the base's best tailor to make a snow squirrel fur coat for each of our family members.
This includes Grandpa Lu, Bai Shuang, and Lu Yu.
Bai Shuang wore all white, Lu Yu chose all black, Grandpa Lu wore gray, and Bai Jiu and the others chose their own colors.
In the apocalypse, clothes are scarce, and shoes are even scarcer, especially in extremely cold weather.
Bai Shuang plans to use some of the money to make a pair of snow leather warm shoes for each of the officers and soldiers.
When the news spread, everyone cheered and their enthusiasm soared even higher.
Bai Shuang kept their portion for them and put the rest away.
To everyone's surprise, several division commanders came over and pleaded with them to make clothes.
There was no other way; since they were being given out, every division commander had to be given one.
Bai Shuang then gave each person enough leather to make a garment, and let them make it themselves.
Soon, in Lu Yu's military camp, the soldiers were wearing new leather shoes, and even some high-ranking officers were wearing leather overcoats.
Bai Shuang's generosity made other military camps envious, while the officers and soldiers here felt honored to be Lu Yu's subordinates.
But there was nothing that could be done about it, because the supplies belonged to Bai Shuang personally, and it was up to her to decide who to give them to.
After Bai Shuang sold snow rat meat and carried out a series of actions in the military camp, the others finally understood.
Some time ago, she was killing snow rats in Lu Yu's military camp.
So, a high-ranking official approached the leader again.
"Didn't you say they were slaughtering pigs? How come there's so much snow rat meat and snow rat skin?"
"I said it might be a pig slaughtering, don't you understand?"
How would I know what they're doing? It's their private business; they don't need to report to me.
The officer thought to himself, "You don't even know what your grandson and granddaughter-in-law are doing? Who would believe that?"
But he said, "Yes, yes, I was confused."
One day, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went to have dinner with Old Master Lu, only to see Uncle Liang hurriedly come out of the room, looking unhappy.
If it weren't for the chance encounter, Bai Shuang would have forgotten about this person.
He used to be Lu Lao's personal guard. Because he tried to interfere with Lu Yu's marriage when he went to Tang City, Lu Lao transferred him to a lower-level military officer position after he returned.
People with their own agendas can't work wholeheartedly for themselves, but considering they've followed me for so many years, I can't make things too ugly for them.
But unexpectedly, this time, he came to propose again that we should be fair and use the snow rat skin of the white frost to make a pair of warm shoes for everyone in the army.
Once his proposal is made public, it will immediately resonate with other soldiers, because of their shared interests.
Someone must have egged him on to take the lead.
He was scolded by Old Lu and left in a sorry state.
These are private property; they can give them to whomever they want. They don't belong to the collective or the state.
Fair? Why don't you share your supplies with the other survivors? There are plenty of people who are starving.
In the face of a major disaster, instead of focusing on production and finding solutions, they keep eyeing what others have – that's petty behavior.
When Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went in, the old man was still angry.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a petty person; they exist everywhere."
Next, the chef began serving the dishes: two meat dishes and four vegetable dishes.
The meat dishes consisted of steamed Chinese sausage and cumin lamb.
"Uncle Liu, you can eat by yourself. Don't worry about things here. We'll call you later."
Uncle Liu understood and withdrew.
The white frost has collected the sausages; the flavor is strong and not suitable for the elderly.
I served a steamed sea bass and a plate of thin-skinned shrimp dumplings.
This was the first time Bai Shuang had done this in front of her grandfather.
He has quietly shut down many dissenting voices recently, which has further increased Bai Shuang's trust in him.
Grandpa Lu was only stunned for a second when he saw the freshly placed, steaming dishes on the table. Then he returned to normal, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat, just like usual.
No matter what skills the girl has, they belong to her; they are the result of the Bai family's good deeds and accumulated blessings.
If the girl is willing to give him food, that's a favor; if she isn't, that's her right.
No one has the right to force others to do anything.
This reflects his magnanimity as the leader of the base.
After the meal, the shrimp dumplings were all gone. Bai Shuang collected the remaining fish bones and asked Uncle Liu to clean up.
Next, the matter of opening a hospital can no longer be delayed.
We can no longer allow the Kang family to dominate the medical field at the base.
Those members of the Bai family who have been suppressed and ostracized should finally be able to hold their heads high.
Providing the Bai family with a livelihood is also a powerful weapon in dealing with the behemoth that is the Kang family.
As for profits, we'll take whatever we can get; we're not pushing it.
