Chapter 110 This base is pretty good

"Wow, this is delicious!"

Fu Xiaxia said while eating the seafood in her bowl.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm."

Fang Qingxun was already focused on eating.

Jiang Li and the others didn't have time to talk; they were all stuffing food into their mouths.

The food was good in every way, the only downside was that the portion was a bit small. Jiang Li finished all the food in his lunchbox, but he was still not even half full.

Wu Lixin, who was sitting opposite, had also finished eating and was looking over with a smile.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

Gu Jin nodded approvingly.

"It's delicious!"

"It's really good."

Shi Lin also praised the taste highly.

"If you come again in the future, you can eat here."

Jiang Li simply nodded upon hearing this and did not say anything more.

Everyone was focused on eating, and the entire cafeteria was very quiet. Jiang Li also noticed that no one went for a second bowl.

Jiang Li admitted that he had a large appetite, but even a person with a normal appetite would probably only be half full after eating this much food.

These people didn't get more food, not because they were full, but because that was all the food they had for one meal.

Seeing this, Jiang Li and the others did not suggest ordering another serving.

No wonder, they weren't eating badly, but they were all so thin. Jiang Li and Gu Jin followed Wu Lixin to wash their lunchboxes before heading out of the cafeteria.

Back in their room, after closing the door, Jiang Li looked at the others and asked.

Would you like anything else to eat?

They all ate about the same amount, and she wasn't even full, let alone the men like Gu Jin.

"I want to eat; what I just ate has really whetted my appetite."

Fang Qingxun rubbed his belly and said.

"It would be best if it were a little spicy. The food I just ate was so delicious that I couldn't stomach it without something spicy."

Fu Xiaxia was still savoring the taste from earlier.

"Indeed, fresh seafood tastes different, and they cooked it really well."

Shi Yuan chimed in, agreeing that the taste was different from what Uncle Ding had cooked at the First Base canteen. It wasn't that Uncle Ding's cooking was bad, but rather that the two dishes were completely different.

The seafood here is freshly caught and still has that unique freshness that dried seafood can't have.

"Then let's eat."

Gu Jin looked at Jiang Li and said.

"Okay, let's eat then."

Jiang Li took out the rice and several bowls of stir-fried dishes that he had cooked earlier from his spatial storage and placed them on the table. Everyone came down to continue eating.

Jiang Li was about to take out his tablet to find something to eat with his meal and pass the time when he heard laughter and noise outside.

The sound came from afar; it was the sound of children playing. Thinking of the children he had seen in the cafeteria, Jiang Li said softly.

"This base... is pretty good."

At least the elderly and children were well taken care of, especially the children, whose clothes, though patched, were clean.

His face still looks plump; he doesn't look like he's starving with a big head and a small body.

In his previous life, Jiang Li had seen many children without parents or relatives, who lived extremely difficult lives.

They were so hungry that their heads were big and their bodies were small, like big-headed dolls. Not only that, but they also faced the risk of dying at any time. Compared with those children, the children in this base were living in paradise.

Remembering the praise others had given Wang Qingli in the cafeteria, Jiang Li also looked at Wang Qingli with new respect. A woman who could create a base in the apocalypse, become the base leader, and take such good care of the elderly and children in the base was indeed very impressive.

Not to mention, she always went out to sea with them, setting an example and sacrificing herself for others. Jiang Li herself is not that kind of person and cannot do these things, but that does not stop her from respecting such a person.

The next day, Jiang Li and his group went out and found Wu Lixin, explaining their purpose.

"Hello, we'd like to exchange some seafood with you, is that possible?"

Gu Jin said to Wu Lixin.

Wu Lixin was very happy to hear that Gu Jin and the others wanted to exchange for seafood.

"Sure, how many do you want to exchange? I'll prepare them for you."

Jiang Li knew immediately that Wu Lixin had misunderstood, thinking that they wanted to exchange only a little bit, so he spoke up.

"We have quite a few things we'd like to change, but I don't know if you can make that decision?"

After hearing Jiang Li say this, Wu Lixin asked cautiously.

"How much do you need to replace?"

"We'll exchange as many as you have."

Jiang Li said.

Wu Lixin looked surprised and then asked again and again.

"Are you...are you sure?"

"Are you sure? Are you going to change it?"

Jiang Li nodded to Wu Lixin and said.

Wu Lixin glanced at the others besides Jiang Li, and they all nodded to him. Only then did Wu Lixin believe that they really wanted to make the change, and he immediately said happily.

"Of course, we have some seafood that we need to trade with Xinghai Base anyway, so we can trade it to you."

If Jiang Li and his group make more changes, they can make one less trip to the Starsea Base, saving time and fuel on the road.

Wu Lixin immediately took Jiang Li and the others to see Wang Qingli.

"Base commander, these guys want to trade some seafood with us."

Wu Lixin explained why he had brought Jiang Li and the others here.

"Sure, Lao Wu, you can handle this too, can't you?"

Like Wu Lixin, Wang Qingli thought that Jiang Li and the others didn't want to exchange many items.

At this moment, Wu Lixin spoke again.

"No, base commander, they want to replace all our inventory. I can't make that decision myself, so I had to come to you."

Upon hearing Wu Lixin's words, Wang Qingli turned to look at Jiang Li and the others in surprise.

"All of them? We have quite a lot in stock, are you sure?"

"Yes, if possible, and we'd also like some live seafood."

Jiang Li said calmly.

Wang Qingli didn't ask them why they wanted so much seafood. Since they had the means to buy so much, they would surely find a way to handle it. This might involve privacy issues, so she wouldn't ask too many questions. However, when she heard that they wanted live seafood, she still tried to dissuade them.

"Live seafood? Live seafood doesn't keep very well. Processed seafood can be preserved for longer. Are you sure you want live seafood?"

In the post-apocalyptic world, raising seafood is extremely difficult. Some seafood is relatively easy to survive, but others are not, and it's very difficult to raise them indefinitely.

"We're certain that the more varieties we have, the better."

Gu Jin spoke up.

After hearing Wang Qingli's advice, Jiang Li's impression of the base improved. He realized that Wang Qingli was worried about them.

Most people wouldn't care what you do with the money; they just want the transaction to go through. It's already quite good that Wang Qingli offered advice.

"Alright then, whenever you need it, we'll go out to sea to fish."

Wang Qingli had already advised them, and they should know what was going on in their hearts, so they didn't ask any more questions.
