After reporting to the base, the base immediately began broadcasting to remind the public not to reuse the tools used to catch leeches.
People started to go into the water. When it comes to playing in the water, ignorance is bliss. Many adults felt their scalps tingle when they saw leeches, but in the eyes of children, they were toys given by God.
Many children put on protective clothing and caught insects in the water.
Children also need to bend over to catch insects, but not as much as adults.
Moreover, the child has been cooped up at home all day, and when he is suddenly let out, he becomes extremely energetic. He is destined to be a good insect catcher.
After catching leeches for a long time, Xie Pu Rou looked over there from time to time. She always felt that the things in the water did not decrease, but seemed to have more.
Xie Purou calculated the time and waited for Qiu Kan and Yue Xiwen to come back. They had been gone for a long time and came back to rest after their shift change.
Yue Xiwen took the initiative to tell her about the battle situation at the north gate.
"The battle situation is actually not that bad. I don't know if there was a mudslide on the mountain or something, but the mutant beasts lost their homes and are coming to fight us."
Xie Purou took out the food and placed it on the table for the two of them to eat while it was hot. She casually asked, "Are there a lot of mutant beasts?"
"Not a lot, but it's a bit tricky. We had to deal with the leeches before, but now that you're collecting those things, you won't stop them from entering the base. Now we can focus on confronting the mutants, and we won't be so overwhelmed."
Yue Xiwen continued to praise her: "Thanks to you, if you weren't here, who knows what a mess the base would be in."
Qiu Kan added in his heart that if the store owner was not there, not to mention the insect catching activities, even the food reserves would be in danger.
If the base wants to feed so many people, food alone is a considerable expense. They have finally got heat-resistant seeds, but they can only have a few full meals. The amount of food they have stored is not enough to sustain so many people for long.
Xie Purou asked Yue Xiwen, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Yue Xiwen picked up a bowl of white rice, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs with chopsticks and placed it in the bowl, waving her hand: "You have done a lot. There are the most old foxes in the First Base. You should hide yourself a little and try not to interfere in the affairs of the base."
She paused, then added, "It's best to meet them less often, otherwise you might get tricked."
Xie Purou looked at Qiu Kan, who nodded at her without any hesitation, indicating that Yue Xiwen was right.
Xie Pu Rou curled the corners of her mouth. In terms of life span, compared to her, those old foxes in the base were still little kids in her eyes.
But when you become invincible, you have less to think about.
Why do we worry and scheme? Because we don't have enough strength.
She feels very safe now, and even if the sky falls, it won't hit her. All she thinks about is eating, sleeping, going out, and seeing the local customs and people.
She didn't care if others would trip her up. Even if she was confused by others' words, so what? She had the confidence that no one could force her to do something she didn't want to do. That was enough.
What made her happy was that Yue Xiwen and Qiu Kan were actually from the base. After they met, she saw that everything they said and did was for the base.
Today, Yue Xiwen actually told her to be careful of being tricked by the base. This shows that in the hearts of Yue Xiwen and Qiu Kan, they are slightly on her side.
This realization made Xie Purou happy from the bottom of her heart. It felt really good to be cared about by friends.
"You're from the base, and you're telling me to be careful about the base's traps. Aren't you afraid that I'll really quit?"
Yue Xiwen and Qiu Kan looked at each other meaningfully, without stopping their eating, and said nothing.
Xie Pu Rou felt as if she had been seen through. She lowered her head guiltily and picked up a piece of vinegar-scrambled eggs for herself with her chopsticks.
Qiu Kan followed closely behind and took a chopstick to eat an egg. It tasted a little strange, but after a few more bites, he found it quite addictive. "How did you make this egg?"
"Vinegar fried eggs, have you never had it?" Xie Purou didn't even raise her eyelids.
"Scrambled eggs with vinegar?!" Qiu Kan frowned and ate a few more chopsticks.
It sounds like some dark cuisine, but it's quite addictive.
Scrambled eggs are a greasy dish, and he doesn't like scrambled eggs very much because most scrambled eggs are made with a lot of oil, which makes them greasy. However, eggs fried without oil will be tough and taste bad.
The most amazing thing about scrambled eggs with vinegar is that the sour taste of the vinegar neutralizes the greasiness of the scrambled eggs. It is a little sour, but just right, and the more you eat, the more you like it.
Xie Purou pursed her lips and smiled at him: "Do you think it's not bad?"
"It's delicious and goes well with rice." Qiu Kan said this on his face, but he was not polite at all with his chopsticks, and kept picking up eggs and putting them into his bowl to mix with rice and eat them together.
"Is it really that delicious?" Yue Xiwen had been focusing on the meat, and when she saw that the two of them were eating a plate of eggs, she couldn't help but become curious.
She also picked up a piece of food with chopsticks to taste it. She frowned at first, swallowed it, and then picked up another piece of food with chopsticks.
"I thought it would be some dark dish, but it turned out to be an innovative dish."
Xie Purou quickly declined, "I wouldn't call myself an innovative cook. At most, it's just a dish from a certain region."
As for where it was from, I don’t remember.
The tastes in different places vary greatly, so she only remembers the dishes she likes and makes them.
Xie Purou asked, "You just told me to stay out of the base's affairs. What's that about? Will they come looking for me?"
"Who can say for sure?" The people above her were relatively kind, content with the status quo and not giving her any hard time. "I'm just worried that if you're too easygoing, their appetites will only grow bigger, and then they'll make even more unreasonable demands, which will be a disaster."
