"No need to buy any for me and Zhou Pin. We have enough food in the supplies we received. Just take care of yourselves." Xu Lin had enough medicine in her space to last her and Zhou Pin a lifetime, and she didn't want to take up any resources.

After seeing Zheng Ming and the doctor off, the two continued to collect food from the space. The food produced by the space was plump and of very high quality, and Xu Lin stored it separately in a room.

After a busy morning, they finally finished collecting all the food in the space. Xu Lin then fed the poultry and livestock in the space, while Zhou Pin cooked.

Nowadays, poultry and livestock are fed every two or three days, with each feeding providing three days' worth of feed.

"The sows we brought in earlier are ready for market. After a while, they'll just eat and not gain weight, wasting feed," Xu Lin said to Zhou Pin in the kitchen after feeding the poultry.

"We'll kill them another day, and also kill some more chickens, ducks, and geese. Too many is a waste of food. If we don't have enough, we can just breed them," Zhou Pin said while tossing the wok.

Xu Lin thought Zhou Pin was so handsome while cooking that she was completely mesmerized.

"My mouth is watering," Zhou Pin said, looking at the food in the pot.

"Huh?" Xu Lin came to her senses and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

"Hahaha." Zhou Pin laughed.

"Fine, you dare to laugh at me?" Xu Lin said angrily.

"Don't be angry, you were cute just now. Go wash your hands and eat."

Zhou Pin brought the last dish, stir-fried pork with farm-style sauce, to the table and began to untie his apron. Xu Lin, uncooperatively, went to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Having experienced the apocalypse, Xu Lin is rather aloof, but she can only let her guard down and be herself in front of Zhou Pin.

In the afternoon, the two of them were mainly busy with work in the yard. They had already harvested one batch of vegetables, and now they had to harvest them all, otherwise they would get too old.

The dogs have gone out to fool around again. Xu Lin thinks they know the base better than she and Zhou Pin do.

"Hey, are you guys harvesting leeks? Sell me some."

Xu Lin was cutting chives when she heard someone calling outside the gate. She looked up but ignored them.

"Is the person inside deaf or mute? They're talking to you!"

Accompanied by the "bang bang bang" sound, shouts started coming from outside again.

"I'll go take a look," Xu Lin said, turning to Zhou Pin.

Xu Lin glanced around the yard to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary before walking to the gate and opening it.

"Hey~ Is someone home? I've been knocking on the door for ages and no one's answering."

An elderly woman, probably in her sixties, was standing at the door. She was dressed neatly and cleanly, and it was clear that she came from a well-off family.

"What is it?" Xu Lin asked expressionlessly.

"I just smelled chives. Are you cutting chives?" the old lady said, then peeked into the yard.

"Whether I cut it or not is none of your business!" Xu Lin stepped forward and blocked her view.

"Hey~ what's wrong with you, young lady? How can you speak so rudely?" The old lady said angrily, hands on her hips.

"If you think I'm being rude, then don't listen." Xu Lin hadn't had a proper argument with anyone in a long time, and she was quite nostalgic.

"I'm not going to argue with you. My son just saw you cutting chives from the balcony," the old lady said, pointing to the third floor of a villa across the street.

Xu Lin looked in the direction she was pointing, and there was indeed a person occupying the third floor of the villa across the street, but she couldn't see clearly.

"Well, you sold us 5 jin of chives, so I'll give you 10 points," the old lady said proudly.

"Not for sale." Xu Lin had plenty of chives, but she couldn't stand the old lady's bossy attitude.

"You planted so much, there's not enough for just two people to eat it all."

How do you know there are only two of us?

“My son has observed it with binoculars from the balcony.”
