Chapter 248 It's so fragrant and numbing!

Ye Lichuan neither objected nor agreed. "Stay there for a few days first. Don't rush to make a decision. Learn more about the situation before you decide."

If Dawn Base is truly a good place, and Ye Sangyu wants to stay there, he naturally wouldn't object.

I'm afraid that the better the place, the more dangerous it might be.

Ye Sangyu was very happy, "I understand, Dad."

After hanging up the video call, Ye Lichuan sat in his office for a moment, then sent a message to someone to check on the Dawn Base to see if it was really as good as it seemed.

He only has one daughter, so naturally he cherishes her.

He had just finished making arrangements when there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and his good older brother walked in with a grin. "Hey, has Sang Yu arrived at the Dawn Base yet? Has she seen Cong Lei? What's the situation now? She's been so quiet these past few days, I'm getting a little worried."

Ye Lichuan was furious. "There's news that Dawn Base is doing very well, and my daughter isn't coming back."

Ye Lishan:! ! !

"Just how good is that little base? Why do people who go there never come back? If all else fails, I'll go and see for myself and find out what's going on."

Ye Lichuan quickly stopped him, "Don't go. I have Lin Jingsong and a few others with you. They'll report back to me at any time. There's no problem so far. Dawn Base is really great. Just relax."

He was afraid that his older brother had gone to the Dawn Base and wouldn't come back.

That's such a comfortable place, who would want to leave?

Ye Sangyu strolled around the farmland, admiring the vibrant vegetable seedlings, before standing up. Turning her head, she saw a woman standing not far away watching her.

It looks very familiar.

"Cousin? I'm so glad to finally see you. Seeing that you're doing well, my uncle can finally rest easy."

Ye Conglei was also surprised to see her, "What brings you here?"

She heard that a group of people had arrived outside, and she wondered if she should register them. Then she saw Ye Sangyu's figure, and the more she looked at her, the more familiar she seemed.

Looking at it now, it really is her.

Ye Sangyu chuckled and said, "I ran into your base commander while doing a mission. I heard he was from Dawn Base. I thought you were here, so I came along to take a look. I didn't expect this place to be so nice. I'm not leaving anymore. I want to stay here too."

Ye Conglei: ...

She had told her family that this place was good and that they could rest assured, but she hadn't revealed any specific details about it, so her family remained uneasy.

I never expected her cousin to come looking for her. Now look what's happened, another one who's not going back. I bet her family is furious right now.

Ye Conglei chuckled at the thought, "This place is quite nice, and we're very comfortable living here. But I'm afraid our family members are getting worried."

Ye Sangyu waved her hand, "Don't worry, I've already talked to my family and told them not to worry."

Ye Sangyu was about to wander around when she smelled the aroma of food.

She sniffed, "It smells so good! What delicious food are you making?"

Ye Conglei pointed to the open space in front of the castle, "They're cooking a big meal over there. Why don't you go and join in the fun? I still have some work to do."

"OK."

When it comes to food, Ye Sangyu went there as soon as she smelled it.

There are many people eating, so there are many dishes to cook. The communal meals are usually cooked at the edge of the square. When it's time to eat, everyone brings their own bowls and chopsticks and serves themselves as much as they want. The place is spacious and bright.

When Ye Sangyu arrived, she saw that Yang Wen's people had already gathered in a circle at a distance and were still discussing it.

"Luxury, so luxurious! These ingredients are so delicious that I could eat them even if I just boiled them with a little salt, let alone stir-frying them."

"Is this a big pot of stew? Is this meant for us to eat? What have we done to deserve this?"

"It's been so long since I've had something this fresh; my mouth is watering."

Listening to their exaggerated discussion, Ye Sangyu was curious about what delicious food could make these people so hungry.

Even abalone and lobster don't need to be this exaggerated.

She squeezed in to take a look, her eyes widening in surprise, "What the hell? Is the food at your base this extravagant?"

On the ground, a large basin was filled with various fresh vegetable leaves. How fresh were they? They looked as if they had just been picked, with water droplets still clinging to them, and they were a vibrant green.

Let alone cooking it, they haven't eaten a single fresh vegetable in months, so even if it's served raw, they'll still enjoy it.

But there was still a pile of meat on the cutting board, the kind of trembling, white meat with fresh fat. When you stir-fry it in a pan, it smells amazing.

After the fatty meat is fried until the oil is rendered, various leafy vegetables are poured into the oil, sizzling and releasing their aroma instantly.

The aroma of meat enveloped the fresh, vibrant green vegetable leaves; they couldn't even imagine how delicious it would be, and some were already drooling.

Even Ye Sangyu, who rarely goes hungry, was tempted. "This is actually a big pot of stew? Who cooks such good stew? Fresh vegetables are like they're free."

The newly arrived survivors were practically drooling.

"I'm going to eat a big bowl today, it's so delicious, it's so fragrant and spicy!"

"I can't even imagine how delicious these leafy greens would be."

These days, where can you find a fresh bite to eat? You're lucky if you can even get something to eat.

Fresh ingredients have long been considered rare delicacies.

The ingredients used in this large pot of vegetables are all fresh—the meat is fresh, the leafy greens are fresh, and after a quick stir-fry, it's truly a delicacy among delicacies.

Delicious food that even wealthy people can't always afford.

Even though these vegetable leaves are the outermost layer discarded during harvest, they still taste delicious to them.

The leaves on radishes, the leaves under cauliflower, and the outermost old leaves of cabbages—things that wouldn't have been eaten before the apocalypse—now smell so good they can bewitch them.

Once the food was ready, stacks of bowls and chopsticks were brought out.

Zhang Qiang greeted them, "It's time to eat. Get your own bowls and chopsticks and serve your own food. Take only what you can eat, and you can return the bowls after you're done. There's plenty of food here, so take your time and don't push or rush."

People who had been drooling were eager to hurry up and line up for food, wishing they could taste it right now.

The people at Dawn Base, on the other hand, remained calm and waited leisurely at the very back.

Because they know there is enough food for everyone; it's just a matter of time.

If it's really not enough in the end, they'll cook another pot, so you won't go hungry here.

When it was Yang Wen's turn, she served herself half a bowl of rice and then topped it with a layer of green vegetables.

She found an open space to squat down and eat. The rice was mixed grain rice, the kind where barley and corn are crushed and mixed with white rice and steamed. It was very fragrant and sweet. She ate it with a bite of stir-fried vegetables and meat. It was so delicious that she wanted to cry.

She was really crying; she was crying while she was eating. It wasn't because the food smelled good, but because she was regretting it.

Why didn't she choose Dawn Base? Otherwise, she could have lived such a good life every day.

While eating, she wanted to slap herself. Why hadn't she asked more questions and learned more about the situation before?
