Therefore, the two decided not to go to the doctor's house and would go home early to prepare. The main purpose was to store anything that shouldn't be there in their online space.

Xu Lin got home at four o'clock. She put away the things that shouldn't be in the house into her space, and then put the antiques she had replaced into it as well.

"Minister He said that there are seafood processing plants built in Jinshi, and to prevent overfishing, the coastline has been controlled. Ordinary people can only go to sea once every three days, and the seafood they take away is only enough for one person to eat for three days."

Was anyone supervising when they went into the water?

"No, after all, there's no room for others to sneak in their own agendas."

"That's alright. We can just store the seafood in the sea and put it into our space. Besides, the small puddle in the space can't hold too much seafood anyway."

“I’m talking about locals going to sea,” Zhou Pin repeated.

"So what about people from other places?" Xu Lin immediately understood what Zhou Pin meant.

“Out-of-towners are not allowed in,” Zhou Pin said.

"I don't believe it," Xu Lin said firmly.

"Out-of-towners are not allowed in."

“I didn’t say I don’t believe in this; I just don’t believe you don’t have a solution.”

“You seem to know quite a bit. I got a consent form from Minister He, which allows us to go fishing there,” Zhou Pin said.

"I knew it! My husband would never make a deal without preparation. Now, shouldn't we explain things to Ms. He?"

Zhou Pin felt like he had shot himself in the foot; he shouldn't have mentioned Minister He!

"There's nothing to explain, it's just what you see."

“What did I see? Even Sun Weigang went to the Ministry of Science and Technology, but I didn’t!” Xu Lin pouted.

Zhou Pin understood instantly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you. I promise I'll tell you everything from now on. There's nothing between us. She just went to the ministry to see Minister He and saw me. She asked around and found out I wasn't married yet, and then she bombarded me with questions. Luckily, Minister He stopped her."

"What about applying for external hiring?"

As expected, nothing can hide from a woman's intelligence.

"There's a reason for that; it's annoying to be bothered by her. But the main reason is that I don't want to be separated from you. It's the apocalypse, after all; we need to be together all the time. Here, take this. Don't be angry anymore."

"Alright, barely passed. What's this?" Xu Lin asked, pointing to the communicator Zhou Ping had just taken out.

"This is the result of my work, an advanced communicator that can handle voice and video calls and has a stronger signal."

"Hmm, I want to eat chopped chili fish head." Xu Lin suddenly changed the subject; women really do always talk about food.

Fearing the aroma would spread, Zhou Pin took Xu Lin to the space to cook, first preparing the processed fish head and various seasonings.

Boil water in a pot, then place a tripod on it, put the steamer basket on the tripod, and put the fish head directly on it without plating it.

Slice half of the ginger and cut the white part of the scallions into sections. Mince the other half of the ginger and garlic.

Place ginger and scallion segments on a plate, steam the fish for 6 minutes, then remove it, slide it onto the plate, and drizzle with steamed fish soy sauce and beer.

Heat oil in a pan, add garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant, then add chopped chili peppers. After that, add sugar and white pepper powder.

Boil water in a pot, then place the fish head in and steam for another 6 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle with sesame oil before serving. A delicious steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers is ready!

Fearing that eating only fish head would be monotonous, Zhou Pin also made a plate of braised pork and stir-fried bean sprouts.

Xu Lin ate two large bowls of rice with chopped chili fish head and stir-fried bean sprouts. After the meal, she volunteered to wash the dishes.
