Chapter 224 Coconut Snail

After Sheng Jiu and Boer left, it was still dark.

From strong light to pitch darkness, Sheng Jiu's eyes couldn't adapt at first and he couldn't see anything clearly. He was cautious and didn't use the flashlight for the time being.

After waiting for a while and letting his eyes adjust, Sheng Jiu took a quick look around.

Shengji Restaurant is located on a dry riverbed.

This river must have been quite long in the past, and it ran from the city to the outside.

However, this part of them is inside the city.

Sheng Jiu quietly looked around. The houses in this area seemed okay, at least they were stone houses. He didn't see any thatched houses like those in Achun's village.

Is this an ancient time with a better environment than Achun and his friends?

But, lack of water?

Sheng Jiu asked a question in his mind and continued to explore with Boll.

There were only soldiers on night patrol in the city, and it would take them a long time to get to this area.

Sheng Jiu's reaction ability has been very good due to his recent training, and Boll's reaction ability is even better.

Relying on Bol's superb reaction ability, the two of them groped their way to a mansion that looked quite luxurious.

The gate is vermilion, and two beautiful red lanterns are hung on it.

The candlelight inside was dim, illuminating only a small area of ​​the view.

Looking at the house, Sheng Jiu whispered to Boer, "It feels like this should be a wealthy family."

Boll didn't understand either. How could this be a wealthy family?

This courtyard is indeed antique, but...

It's also true that there's no defense.

Even with Boll's limited abilities, he could easily jump over this courtyard wall.

However, whatever the young boss said was the truth, and Bol nodded halfheartedly.

The Shengji Restaurant in this dimension is located in the city, so the situation is better than that of Achun and the others.

However, it seems that not many diners were screened out?

Or maybe...

Even if some diners noticed something was wrong, they didn't dare to come in easily?

The two diners in the evening were probably also adventurous, or perhaps explorers.

However, now that there is a curfew, there is really not much to see in the city.

Sheng Jiu came here today just to check out the situation, but now that he hadn't gained anything, he decided not to bother: "Let's go back."

Bol was a little surprised by Sheng Jiu's reaction. He pointed at the wall, looking puzzled: "Not going in?"

Sheng Jiu:?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

We are human beings, not thieves!

In the middle of the night, you knock on the door and go in. Who are you trying to scare to death?

As for jumping over the wall?

That's impossible!

Sheng Jiu gave Boll a look that said, "You should understand it yourself."

Bol touched his nose guiltily.

ah……

When space pirates become accustomed to it, their legal awareness becomes relatively weak.

In Boll's opinion, it is not easy to get in, just jump over the wall.

As for going through the main gate?

This wasn't his first reaction!

It was pitch dark and nothing could be seen, so Sheng Jiu took Boll back.

The two men were extremely careful, even though the number of soldiers on night patrol was small and it took a long time for three of them to turn around.

But, they also don't want to get caught.

Sheng Jiu was easy to deal with. She could just open the door and leave. No matter whether it would leave a scary impression of gods and ghosts on the ancients, as long as she could run, it was fine.

But what about Boll?

So, let’s go back together.

The two of them went back quickly.

Sheng Jiu thought that the beef shank had not been braised yet, so he said hello to Boll and went downstairs to work.

When Boll heard that he was going to work, he followed him downstairs consciously.

In fact, braised beef is not that troublesome.

At noon, Sheng Jiu soaked the beef tendon in water and changed the water several times.

If you soak fresh beef in clean water for a few hours, the blood will almost come out.

But, not frozen.

Now looking at the clear water that had been soaked, the blood color had become very light, and Sheng Jiu felt that it was almost done.

She prepared all the necessary seasonings and asked Paul to wash the two beef shanks.

In fact, there are two front leg tendons, one of which is more tender than the hind leg and is more suitable for pan-frying, stir-frying, or slicing and eating hot pot.

Sheng Jiu didn’t plan to waste it, so they fried the two former Jianzi and ate them in the evening.

Boer washed the meat, Shengjiu fried the sugar color and prepared the seasoning.

The two of them quickly braised the beef shank, which needed to be soaked in the marinade overnight for better flavor.

So, after packing up, the two of them went upstairs.

It was getting late, and Sheng Jiu prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

Boll was surprised to find that Sun Susu was not at home, but he was too lazy to look for her.

The distant guest is not here tonight, so you can have a good sleep in bed.

He doesn't want to sleep on a folding bed!

The next day, it drizzled.

As soon as he woke up in the morning, Sheng Jiu could feel the humidity in the air.

Every autumn rain brings a chill. After this rain ends, the weather will probably be even cooler.

The feeling of autumn is getting weaker and weaker, and the footsteps of winter seem to be getting closer and closer.

After Sheng Jiu got up, he rubbed his face.

Then I got up and changed my clothes.

As expected, Sun Susu was waiting at the door, but she had obvious dark circles under her eyes, and it looked like she hadn't slept well, or rather...

Not slept?

Sheng Jiu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Not asleep?"

Sun Susu nodded nonchalantly: "It was quite fun fishing for cute snails all night."

Speaking of cute snails, Sun Susu raised her chin and gestured towards the door: "Take a look at them later. Are they edible? But they have heavy shells, little meat, and are poisonous..."

At the end, Sun Susu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, these things are not poisonous to the boss, but let's go running first."

Sheng Jiu was curious about what kind of snail the cute snail was.

After opening the door, when Sheng Jiu saw ten buckets of cute snails, his eyes quickly turned from 0_0!

Because the cute snail that Sun Susu mentioned is actually a coconut snail!

Coconut snails!

The coconut snail that produces Melo pearls!

A good quality Melo pearl weighing several grams can buy several lives of Sheng Jiu!

Of course, she definitely doesn't want to risk her life.

She only has one life, and she cherishes it.

Although, the probability of finding Melo Pearls in coconut snails is very low.

But what if?

Seeing Sheng Jiu's eyes light up, Sun Susu was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Can't eat it? That's okay, I'll stir it up later and go fishing."

Talking about the sea fishing that night, Sun Susu still had some aftertaste: "Fishing is much more comfortable than catching star mushrooms. It's just a little addictive. I can't control myself. After catching one, I want two. After catching two, I want more."

Then she didn't sleep all night.

Although I am sleepy, I am very excited.

Who wouldn’t be excited to see the snails we caught, each one bigger than the last!

Sheng Jiu was really excited. She stayed where she was for a long time before her mouth started to obey her command: "Melo Pearl, Melo Pearl!"

Sun Susu:?

pig?

She was not familiar with this desolate planet and really didn't know if there were any pigs.

However, if the boss needs anything, she can take the risk and go check it out tonight.

Anyway, she had to try to find out if there was anyone else who could give her a ride.

So, it’s okay to explore a little more.

Thinking of this, Sun Susu nodded: "Okay, I'll go see if there are any pigs in the evening."
