"Wow! I only processed one fish, and you've already done so much!"
Xie Pu Rou refused to take credit for it. "No, it's just that you had more trouble preparing the salmon."
Looking at the brightly colored fish in Yue Xiwen's hand, Xie Purou asked, "Do you like raw salmon or cooked salmon?"
"Let's cook it. I ate too much raw food during the apocalypse and don't want to eat it raw anymore."
"Then... I'll make some pan-fried salmon and smoked salmon. It will be ready in a moment." Xie Pu Rou took the salmon from the basin, picked up the knife and looked at the fish on the chopping board to see how to cut it.
Yue Xiwen didn't want to complain about sitting and waiting for food, so she squatted down to wash her hands first. "Then let me take a look at the barbecue fire. I know a little bit about barbecue!"
Xie Pu Rou didn't hesitate to report the progress of the grill, which had already been coated with oil, while cutting the fish meat.
The two of them were busy at two locations, slowly preparing food and chatting casually. The beautiful scenery of the sea as the sun set made people feel particularly happy both physically and mentally.
Frying salmon is very simple. Just prepare the fish meat a little bit and put it into the pan. With a sizzling sound, the oil will bubble up around the edge of the fish meat.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Pu Rou had prepared the fish meat. She used a gas stove, which made it very convenient to control the flame.
The fish was cooked to their shared taste, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with a sauce she had specially prepared. Xie Purou took a small bite and was so delicious she wanted to catch the entire marine life to go with her wine.
Three steaming hot dishes were served. Xie Purou had just taken out a new dining table, set the table with dishes, and turned around to call Yue Xiwen.
Yue Xiwen followed her in perfect sync and walked over with a large plate of barbecue.
"That's great, let's eat together."
The barbecue was placed on the table which was not very big to begin with, and the table was full of food and iced drinks, making it hard not to take pictures.
Yue Xiwen rarely raised her phone, Xie Purou came over, and they both made a "yeah" gesture to the camera, capturing the table full of delicious food behind them.
After taking the photo, Yue Xiwen looked at Xie Purou who was standing on her left in the photo. Her expression was cute and funny, and she couldn't stop smiling.
"Okay, okay, let's eat!" Xie Pu Rou looked at the table full of delicious food and drinks and couldn't help but urge them.
"Okay." Yue Xiwen reached out to take the grilled shrimp balls, but Xie Purou suddenly thought of something and reached out to stop her.
I found a bottle of sesame seeds in the space, took them out and sprinkled them on the slide.
With the garnish of white sesame seeds and the barbecue sauce on the shrimp balls, the appearance is elevated to a higher level.
"Okay, now we can really start."
Yue Xiwen still reached out to take the grilled shrimp balls. This thing had made her drool a lot when it was just grilled, so she couldn't let it go easily!
Xie Purou made herself some udon noodles. She liked to eat them with some soup. She used a spoon to put the noodles, shrimp paste, and a little tomato soup on the spoon.
One bite and it was like entering tomato heaven. The rich tomato flavor blended with the curry, and the shrimp paste was so fresh and chewy. Eating and drinking at the same time, this is the best thing in life~!
The two of them continued to eat slowly. After finishing their main meal, there was still some space in their stomachs, which was just right for filling it with durian.
Xie Purou held two kinds of durian, one on the left and one on the right, feeling the taste of happiness.
Yue Xiwen finished drinking a can of happy water and just took a breath to quietly look at the night sea for a while, when the ringing of her cell phone broke the calm of the sea.
"Hello?"
Xie Purou glanced at Yue Xiwen sideways. She couldn't hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but she saw that Yue Xiwen's expression was becoming more and more serious.
"Is the news true?"
"good……"
After hanging up the phone, he met Xie Pu Rou's concerned eyes.
"Something happened! No one who went out after the acid rain came back, and none of them can be contacted."
"Hmm?" Xie Pu Rou sat up straight, still confused and not understanding what she meant.
"I received orders from my superiors and I have to go on an urgent mission." Yue Xiwen stood up from the chair.
Xie Pu Rou also stood up and waved her hand to transfer the mess on the ground into the space. A black and a white little furry kid who were chasing and playing were also suddenly sent into the space.
She put her hand on Yue Xiwen's shoulder and arrived at the subway entrance in an instant.
With a simple wave of her sleeves, the waves crashed against the rocks, as if they had never been there.
Her hand moved up and down and patted Yue Xiwen's shoulder, "Be careful."
"Okay." Yue Xiwen wanted to say something, but in the end said nothing and turned to walk towards the subway station.
Xie Purou looked at Yue Xiwen's back thoughtfully, feeling as if she had never seen her stop. No matter what she was doing, she would immediately get up and go out as soon as the base called.
Fortunately, I had a good meal with her before I received the call, otherwise she might not have eaten.
She shook her head. Now was not the time to think about this.
The most urgent task is to finish the factories first. Once the factories she has are finished, she can be done with it.
After sending a message to Chu En to confirm their location, she walked towards the office building in the direction of the yard in a daze.
It is not easy to build a factory now. It requires cooperation from the base. They need to expand the base so that Xie Pu Rou will have a larger place to build the factory.
Chu En and Hua Lin announced that they would need to continue recruiting workers during this period. Xie Pu Rou, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, didn't notice that they all looked very happy.
"Great, there's another job!"
"If there are jobs available, there won't be so many people going out. They can work at the base, so it won't be difficult or dangerous."
“…”
After being in a trance for a moment, Xie Pu Rou came to her senses and noticed that the two of them were laughing and talking happily about their beautiful visions for the future.
"Are you happy?" Xie Purou asked uncertainly.
Hua Lin: "I'm so happy! Our positions aren't restricted by gender or age. As long as you're not in school and can still move, you can come and work. Isn't this a good thing for everyone?"
Xie Purou glanced at Chu En, who hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm glad. We're all neighbors. If we have work to do, we won't be thinking about running out to catch zombies all day long."
"Yes, after all, catching zombies is still a bit dangerous. As long as we can have enough food and water and a place to sleep, and our lives are safe, everyone will be content."
Xie Purou leaned over with a playful smile on her face: "What happened to you? It seems that you are deeply touched."
Hua Lin got excited when she said this, and playfully leaned closer: "The last time I went to work with Sister Chu En, I saw everyone saying this in the residential building."
"Doesn't anyone think the salary is too low? Doesn't anyone think it's faster to save up crystal cores before fighting zombies?" Xie Purou smiled gently.
"No, after all, there are only a few people who can fight zombies and get crystal cores. Most people are risking their lives to make a living. Everyone is happy to be able to earn a solid salary to support their families."
