Chapter 368 Chapter 370 A Visitor Arrives

"Why are you all standing there? The dishes are ready, please take your seats." Rong Xianxian placed the last dish and said to Feng Xingjia and others who seemed a little restrained because of her presence.

Xia Kai took a bottle of white wine from the low table next to him and poured a glass for each person.

"Xuanxuan, happy birthday." Rong Xianxian said to Xuanxuan who was sitting next to her.

"Thank you, Mom." Xuanxuan's beautiful big eyes were full of light and she looked very happy.

The others at the table also wished the little girl a happy birthday. When they received the invitation, Feng Xingjia and the others were a little worried about what kind of gifts to prepare. However, Xia Kai told them that Rong Xianxian had specifically told them not to bring anything.

"Although today is a celebration for my daughter's birthday, it is also to reward everyone for your hard work over the past few days. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and you will definitely spend the New Year with your family and friends. Let's have a drink here today and wish everyone a happy new year in advance." Rong Xianxian raised the wine glass in front of her and said to everyone.

"Happy New Year to Sister Rong (Dr. Rong)." Cui Lie, Jiang Jie, Feng Xingjia and others responded.

We had a glass of wine at the beginning of the meal. After the hot and mellow wine went down our throats, coupled with a table full of delicious food, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

The reason why Feng Xingjia and the others chose to seek refuge with Rong Xianxian was mostly because they had unrealized ambitions or had encountered difficulties. Some of them even had no food to eat and could not survive. Rong Xianxian intended to at least support them through the most difficult month of the blizzard. As long as they were not people with a bad reputation, she settled them down. After the safe zone cleared a relatively safe activity area in the surrounding area, she had cleared out those who had performed poorly during this period.

Rong Xianxian started the conversation and told everyone to eat as they pleased and not to be polite. She then focused on taking care of her two children while they ate, occasionally communicating with Cui Lie and others nearby.

Cui Lie had a tearful look on his face, Ming Tianlei was often in a daze by himself, so the burden of livening up the atmosphere and maintaining relationships fell on Xia Kai, Jiang Jie and Wang Lin. They happened to be sitting among the eight people of Feng Xingjia, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"Sister Rong, the big river clam meat is so fresh. It tastes great whether it's spicy or stir-fried. Especially the soup, it's so delicious that it's hard to describe in words." Xia Kai said excitedly. After taking a sip of the hot seafood hot and sour soup, it seemed as if all the pores in his body were opened. The taste was so refreshing.

The others nodded in agreement and praised the other delicious foods on the table. "This thing was very ferocious when it was fished out of the water. I didn't expect the meat to taste so good." Feng Xingjia said with emotion.

"It's all thanks to Dr. Rong's cooking skills that we can enjoy such delicious food." When Feng Xingjia thought that this was a dish made from large river clams worth one thousand points, he wanted to eat a few more bites to savor the flavor of the meat.

"Bang, bang, bang." There were rhythmic knocking sounds coming from the gate of the courtyard, neither hurried nor slow, but persistent.

"I remember I asked you to hang a sign at the door saying, 'Something's going on at home, please don't disturb me.'" Rong Xianxian asked Wang Lin with a frown.

"I'm hanging up, Sister Rong. I went out to check before the meal started." Wang Lin said affirmatively.

Most of the civilian teams that traveled together at the beginning had contact with each other. Knowing that Feng Xingjia and others had a good life after joining Rong Xianxian, people often came to ask for help or to join them. Rong Xianxian happened to be making talismans or refining elixirs, and was most afraid of being distracted, so she made a sign saying "Do not disturb". Generally speaking, most of the people who came to the door had something to ask for, so they still followed the rules. This time, who knocked on the door despite the reminder? And it happened to be lunch time.

"Alin, go and ask them if there's anything they want. If nothing, ask them to come back another day." Because this courtyard was known to many people and people often came, Rong Xianxian was fed up with it. She had already found another place to live. This remote courtyard would only be used to handle official business and as a workplace in the future.

"Sister Rong, it's an official." Wang Lin just went out for a while and came back to report.

"Official people." Rong Xianxian frowned. She had never dealt with official people before. Why did they come?

"Hello, sorry to bother you." Wang Lin had just come in when a group of three security zone staff members wearing thick clothes walked in.

Looking at the environment in the room, especially the food on the table, the youngest lady among the three couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Before they came, they had already learned about the basic situation of Rong Xianxian and others, and knew that these people had some relationship with Ning Jiu who came from the capital. Doctor Rong herself was an alchemist and could also make talismans with protective functions. She and her teammates were very strong in combat, so they definitely came with sincerity.

Even though they thought they had already thought highly of this woman, they still didn't expect to see such a scene.

The fresh potatoes and sweet potatoes on the table are expensive, and not many people can afford them. And those various dishes that are so colorful, fragrant and delicious, I really want to try them. How are they made?

The youngest lady stared at the birthday cake covered with cream on the low table next to her. The cake was also topped with juicy wild fruits of different colors. She had forgotten what she was doing here and her mind was filled with the words "cream cake".

"Where are those two big clams from yesterday? We are willing to buy them for 10,000 points." The leading man said straight to the point.

Rong Xianxian smiled slightly and was about to speak, "I heard that thing can shoot ice arrows. For this unknown species that may have appeared after the end of the world, it has very important scientific research value. We purchased it in order to send it to the Xenobiotic Research Institute for professors to do research. Please don't refuse, Dr. Rong." The companion next to her saw Rong Xianxian's expression, thinking that she disagreed, and quickly added.

"It's not that I want to refuse you, but what you want is right here on the table. Although the shell is hard, the meat inside is very fresh and delicious. I made this spicy river clams using the method of spicy clams, which is sweeter. I also have this hot and sour seafood soup and this stir-fried river clams, which are all very delicious. Since you are here, it must be fate. Otherwise, the three of you can sit down and try it." Rong Xianxian invited with a smile.

When the three heard this, they were dumbfounded.

When Feng Xingjia and his team sent this thing to the official exchange yesterday, they knew it was rare and valuable, but seeing how embarrassed they were with it, they felt they couldn't do anything with it, and thought they would definitely sell it, so they deliberately lowered the price.
