Zhao Linlin took the food tray and sat next to Qiao Xuejun.
There were no tables or chairs, so everyone just found a place to sit. The two of them sat side by side on a pile of wooden boards.
Zhao Linlin said: "Boss, the food in the base is delicious."
She has been working in the woodworking shop these days and also eating meals provided by the base.
Qiao Xuejun: "Uncle Zhang is a professional."
Zhao Linlin scooped a spoonful of corn soup: "We can also make this soup when we go back."
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "If we go back and make it, it might not taste the same."
Uncle Zhang said that a lot of spices were added, and those spices must be very important.
Zhao Linlin: "Boss, this greenhouse will be finished soon. Can we grow fruit in it? I want to eat fruit."
Qiao Xuejun: "We can grow a little bit, but if we want to grow it on a large scale, we need to expand. Now we mainly grow vegetables."
Zhao Linlin: "Tomatoes are fine too, but they have to be sweet."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "Okay!" The greenhouse had only two floors before, and now there are two more floors, so we can plant more things.
Uncle Zhang who was standing next to him heard it and said: "Tomatoes are good! They can be used to make ketchup and dipped in French fries!"
Zhao Linlin: "Uncle Zhang, you can also make French fries!"
Uncle Zhang: "That's not a big dish. How can you not be able to cook it?"
Zhao Linlin: “I want to eat!”
Uncle Zhang: "You need oil. But I recently found a way. Cook the food until it's half soft, freeze it outside, and then bake it over a fire until it's deformed. The ice inside will evaporate directly, and the food will become crispy! It tastes just like fried food!"
Qiao Xuejun: "Like freeze-dried?"
Uncle Zhang: "Yes. The temperature has dropped in the past few days. I tried it and the success rate is 50-50. I need to summarize some experience. Once the success rate is improved, we can do it on a large scale."
Qiao Xuejun: "Can meat be cooked?"
Uncle Zhang frowned and said, "I haven't tried it, but it should work."
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
According to her ranch concept, they will be able to eat meat in the future.

"Does everyone in the First Base live a life of plenty like this?"
In the cafeteria, the new survivors found seats and started eating. Many people were a little nervous and didn't talk, but some people didn't feel that way. They just felt excited and started to make noises.
While eating and chatting, they all felt satisfied with the meal, which was even better than advertised!
Someone said: "The cook is great, but these dishes are the greatest."
They survive in the city.
After the natural disaster, large numbers of people in the entire city died, either from natural disasters or man-made disasters. Less than one in ten thousand survived.
There are plenty of supplies in the city as long as you are willing to search.
However, what can be searched are some materials that are durable to store, such as some dry bread with a good shelf life, or some flour, dry grains, and other foods that have a long shelf life.
Some people wondered: "How do they store all these pumpkins and potatoes? How big a cold storage would that be?"
Now that the weather is cold, it's easy to put it anywhere. But they had experienced a whole year of high temperatures before! All the food would spoil faster.
Some people laughed at themselves and said, "Yeah, it was only when the natural disaster happened that I realized the shelf life of these ingredients. I used to think instant noodles had preservatives and could be stored for three to five years." In fact, their preservation technology is frying without adding preservatives. If you open the expired noodles, they will have a rancid smell.
It turns out that the things that we had seen on supermarket shelves all year round before the natural disaster had such a short shelf life.
Most instant noodles that have passed their expiration date are still edible, but some have obvious signs of spoilage, such as the noodles changing color, becoming sour, the sauce becoming thinner, and some may even grow mold.
It's not a wonderful taste anyway.
Needless to say, vegetables only have a shelf life of a few days, so they were not found during the search. But things like chicken feet and duck wings only have a shelf life of three to six months, so even if they found them, they would have already gone bad.
Later, when it rained heavily, the food you found might even have been soaked in dirty water. You would be gambling with your life whether to eat it or not.
Some people eat even when they are extremely hungry.
If you're lucky, nothing will happen, or you'll just have diarrhea.
Those who are unlucky will have diarrhea to the point of collapse, then have a fever and fall into a coma, and then they are dead.
So for them, when they see such food, the first thing they think about is where it came from, how was it preserved? These things have a long shelf life, but not as long as two years, right?
Someone immediately explained: "This was done by the farming experts at our base."
"Farming expert?"
"You should have met her this time. She's a female expert. Her last name is Qiao. I forgot her name, but we usually call her Teacher Qiao."
"That's amazing!" It's simply impossible to produce so many ingredients in this kind of weather.
"Why don't you say he's an expert?"
The cafeteria was noisy.
·
"How is it, Xingtang, the food in the First Base is pretty good, right?" Huo Antu asked her with a smile, looking at Shen Xingtang's empty plate.
Shen Xingtang looked at the plate he had finished eating, his expression somewhat subtle.
tasty?
Compared to the fancy meals she could exchange for in the system, these dishes were very simple. In the system, she could exchange for any dish she wanted, and as long as she had enough points, she could even have a full banquet.
It's just that ever since her system energy was devoured, her system has shut down this function.
Without extra food, we could only eat dry food on the boat. Although we were full, the taste was really ordinary.
She brought some pickled seaweed from Haibao, but it tasted like watercress, so she didn't eat much.
So she ate everything up without leaving any left.
There were a lot of people in the cafeteria, and people kept asking where the food came from.
Some other people started to praise, some praised Uncle Zhang in the kitchen, and some praised Qiao Xuejun.
Even Huo Antu started to praise him.
Shen Xingtang's face was a little distorted.
Isn't it just a food system? Her favorability system is so advanced, but there will be times when it is shut down and can't produce food. If Qiao Xuejun's system is shut down one day and can't produce food, let's see what she will do.
Shen Xingtang put the spoon on the plate, trying to maintain a calm expression. He did not answer Huo Antu's words, but said, "It's time to go. I'm going to call Dr. An. I won't see anyone after I get off the boat. It's time to go back to the sea fort."
She stayed on the boat for a long time and was the last group of people to get off. After getting off the boat, she was brought over by Huo Antu for dinner.
She didn't see Dr. An and thought he should also be eating at the First Base.
After all, they have been eating together these days, and Haibao is in charge of the meals.
But after eating, it’s time to go back to Seaburg.
Shen Xingtang looked around the cafeteria again, but still didn't see Dr. An.
Huo Antu was slightly surprised: "You don't know? Dr. An has decided to stay."
Shen Xingtang frowned, looked up at Huo Antu, and smiled again: "Brother Antu, are you kidding me? This is impossible!"
