Chapter 245 Dietary Differences

Shen Jufeng handed the meat he had prepared for the guests to the big man, who went to borrow a stove from a stall outside to cook amid the crowd's shouts.

Ding Jiayi also came back and saw the meat piled on the table. "Wow, is this pork? That's beef?!"

She hadn't seen meat like this in a long time.

Lu Jiu: "This is specially reserved. Everyone else has bought it. Do you want it?"

Ding Jiayi: "Of course, I'll buy it right away no matter how much it costs."

After buying the meat, Ding Jiayi sighed that Shen Jufeng was really a good person. The meat was not expensive. You know, it was a rare food in Anshao Province.

Shen Jufeng, who was given the "nice guy" card, didn't care about this. "Then everyone can add me as a friend. I don't know if I can still contact you after I return to Long Province, but if I can, we can still trade these things via email. Seafood is rare over there. We've only recently eaten some fish and shrimp from the lake."

Ding Jiayi immediately added Lujiu as a friend, saying that everyone could establish harmonious trade.

The girls all went to join Lu Jiu, and a few also joined Chen Jufeng. Although he had changed his appearance now, he still looked like a handsome and tough guy.

Some of the boys also asked Lu Jiu to join them, and Lu Jiu didn't care whether they were men or women, as long as everyone agreed.

This is a good opportunity. We can establish trade here and sell seafood in Xuantian City as soon as possible. Even if other people from Long Province come here in the future, the transactions between them will not be easily interrupted.

Soon the restaurant started serving the dishes. Lu Jiu looked at the bowl of rice in front of him. It looked no different from cooked rice.

Ding Jiayi picked up a piece of snow-white fish for her and said, "Take a bite of it first, then try it with the fish."

Shen Jufeng took a bite first. The rice was slightly salty, but also had a fresh taste, as if it was cooked with some seafood. "It tastes good."

Then I picked up a piece of spicy squid and ate it with rice. The squid was not salted, but it was spicy in itself, and the saltiness of the rice neutralized it, giving it a unique flavor.

After eating, Lu Jiu felt good, "Is there any oil in this rice?"

Ding Jiayi nodded, "Based on our long experience in cooking, adding a few drops of oil when cooking will make it taste better."

Lu Jiu: "I think it's delicious. If we sell it here, I'm sure many people will buy it."

Ding Jiayi had a bitter expression on her face, "I thought so at first, but now I feel choked if I eat any more."

As he spoke, he pushed a plate of green vegetables in front of her and said, "This is what we often eat. It can be considered vegetables."

Lu Jiu tasted it and found it had a hint of sweetness, a bit like milk cabbage. "It's quite delicious, but the texture is a bit like kelp."

The two of them ate with relish, while Ding Jiayi drank her milk tea slowly, while the others finished one bowl and stopped.

Seeing that they were all very restrained, just like the girls in the past when they were losing weight, Lu Jiu asked, "You guys aren't eating anymore?"

Everyone nodded and said, "We want to wait for other dishes." In fact, they were dishes cooked with the meat brought by Lu Jiu and the others.

While Lu Jiu was still hesitating, Shen Jufeng held the bowl and asked Ding Jiayi, "If I want a few more bowls, should I just call the waiter?"

Ding Jiayi waved her hands and said, "No need. I'll ask the manager to bring up a pot."

Lu Jiu used the bowl to cover his face. What the hell is a pot...

Soon, a pot of fresh, steaming dried shrimp rice was placed in front of them. Shen Jufeng seemed to see Lu Jiu's embarrassment and directly took her bowl and filled it up.

Lu Jiu quietly gave him a thumbs up.

But putting everything else aside, dried shrimp rice is really delicious to them, at least Lu Jiu has fallen in love with it.

Soon the big man who had gone out earlier came back with a large bowl filled with braised pork that had bulged out. Of course, under the big man's chopsticks, the bulge quickly flattened.

He couldn't help himself, and when the food was served on the plate after it was cooked, he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks and start eating it.

Later, he asked the stall owner to bring the other dishes. As a reward, he gave some of the dishes he cooked to the stall owner.

Everyone had already smelled the aroma of the braised pork. When they saw the big man pick up two or three pieces of braised pork with chopsticks and swallow them, they rushed forward as if their wives had been robbed.

"Brother Rong, you are so unkind. You eat so much at once. This meat has nothing to do with you."

"That's right, the one with the bloody mouth."

Others grabbed the braised pork, and they also took the one brought by the stall owner behind.

As soon as the dishes such as braised pork, pepper beef tenderloin, fried chicken legs, and meatball soup were served, the team members who originally seemed to be trying to lose weight started to grab them frantically.

Girls like Ding Jiayi are stronger. They serve themselves first and then watch the men fight for it.

·

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Ding Jiayi couldn't help but ask Lu Jiu and the others, "Did you bring more meat? We'd all like to buy it."

It had been a long time since she had eaten this meat. Now that she was eating it, it felt delicious and nostalgic.

Lujiu is certainly willing to sell some, "Yes, but probably not a lot. We didn't expect this to happen when we came out."

Of course she wouldn't sell them all. After all, she wanted to visit other city-states, and there would definitely be people willing to buy them by then.

Ding Jiayi: "It's okay, it's okay. If you have any snacks to sell, we can buy them."

Lu Jiu did not refuse this.

During this time, Lu Jiu asked the question she was most curious about, "Speaking of which, Anshao Province is full of seawater. Is there very little land, or are there not many islands?"

Everyone else nodded. "Yeah, it's all seawater. We're essentially living on the surface. I still remember the day the world changed drastically. Everyone was terrified. A large amount of seawater seeped out from the ground, flooding the entire city. We only survived by running to the rooftops. Later, the buildings disappeared, the seawater receded, and we survived on land. We couldn't go to other islands, and our movements were very restricted."

Ding Jiayi: "Luckily, the mall has a limited-time sale of pearls, and you can buy them on credit. I guess this is allowed because wild monsters won't come ashore on their own. As long as you pay back the money within a week after buying the pearls, the item will be yours. Otherwise, the system will take it back."

"Although everyone was afraid at the time, most chose to go into the sea to find a way out. Gradually, everyone accepted this situation. Even those who hadn't started a profession started killing monsters. Fortunately, the monsters were low-level at the time, so they could be killed by ganging up on them. The item was also not expensive."

Lu Jiu was enlightened. This system actually allowed the purchase of props on credit, but it was a special case in Anshao Province.

Ding Jiayi seemed to recall something and continued, "But people in other nearby provinces and cities also see the sea. So we suspect that several neighboring provinces are in the same situation. It seems that several provinces in your area are also covered in forests."

Shen Jufeng understood what she meant, "It means that the environment is different according to the region. The first province we came to was Anshao Province. This side belongs to the east. Maybe the provinces and cities in the east are all sea areas."

Lu Jiu understood, "Then our Long Province is still located in the southern part. Is it all forest?"

Shen Jufeng: "It's very possible. Maybe the living environment will be different if we go to the west or the north."

After hearing this, Lu Jiu wanted to visit other provinces and cities to see what the scenery was like there.
