Qiao Xuejun turned to Wu Haifan and said, "Deputy Captain Wu, I'll have to trouble you to receive Captain Wang and the others. I have some work to do, so I'll be leaving first."
Wu Haifan: "Teacher Qiao, aren't you eating in the cafeteria? It's already lunchtime."
Qiao Xuejun shook his head, grabbed the fish-skin jacket on the back of the chair and put it back on: "I brought rations down the mountain."
She was too busy these days, so she brought some compressed biscuits with her to avoid wasting time going up and down the mountain.
She had to get all the beets out early and plant them in batches for easier management.
In a hurry.
As he watched Qiao Xuejun leave, Wang Wenxun's heart was still beating violently. He was still immersed in the shock of the 100 tons of potatoes data.
The other five team members were also stunned as they watched Qiao Xuejun leave.
Wu Haifan: "Captain Wang, come with me."
It wasn't until they sat in the cafeteria and saw the food in front of them that they were shocked.
A mushroom soup, stir-fried diced radish and spinach, and the staple food is mashed potatoes.
The mushroom soup also contains tender green sprouts, wood ear mushrooms, and mushrooms. The soup looks fresh, fragrant and thick, probably because it is thickened with glazed starch.
Even though the diced radish and meat look small, with only a few pieces, it is still meat! And it’s not fish, which is so rare.
Stir-fried spinach only contains spinach, a dish that is green and fresh, but it does not look bland. It is shiny and greasy, with steam coming out of the hot wok, which makes people's appetite open at first sight.
There is oil. During this period, cooking oil was extremely hard to come by.
Wang Wenxun was flattered. They were just here to trade, and hadn't brought any gifts, so how could they accept such a high level of hospitality?
No reward without merit.
Fearing that the First Base might have other requests, he quickly asked Wu Haifan, "Deputy Captain Wu, we're only here to trade, and we're not bringing anything else... Is there anything you'd like to know? Or anything you'd like to see? Feel free to let me know."
Wu Haifan: “?”
He looked at Wang Wenxun's expression and saw that they were fidgeting in front of their plates, no one daring to pick up their chopsticks. He understood: "It's okay, eat. This is just an ordinary meal in our base. Don't worry."
Wang Wenxun opened his eyes wide. Ordinary meal? This is an ordinary meal?
He looked at his subordinates, and their expressions were also surprised, as if they had heard a ghost story and could not believe it at all.
Wu Haifan was not surprised by their behavior at all. He knew that the food in their base was already very good now. After all, they could not eat so well three months ago.
This stir-fried radish with meat is made with chicken.
The lifespan of the roe deer is short, only about three years. The first batch of roe deer raised by Teacher Qiao have already reached the age of death, so she has them slaughtered and eaten in advance.
In fact, the rabbits are almost ready to eat. A whole spring has passed since the rabbit ranch was built, and they have reproduced a lot.
Seeing that they hadn't started eating yet, Wu Haifan gestured for them to look at the window displaying the nutritious meals. "Look at that! That's the premium treatment we get at our base."
Wang Wenxun and others looked over.
A woman with a bulging belly smiled as she picked up her meal at a cafeteria window. She seemed pregnant, but unlike the women at the Fourth Base, her face showed no sadness, but rather a cheerful expression.
On her plate, you can see a bowl of chicken soup with mushrooms, a bowl of tender egg custard topped with a handful of sprouts, stir-fried spinach, and a bowl of pumpkin soup. The main course is also mashed potatoes.
There is one more meat dish than theirs.
Sure enough, that is the higher treatment.
After they saw it clearly, they looked at each other in surprise. It was actually true.
As more and more people came to the cafeteria, they realized that the meals most people received were no different from the ones they had.
This is a normal meal!
They didn't hesitate any longer and started eating, their first chopstick reaching for the bright green spinach. It looked so fresh and bright green.
They haven't had this taste for a long time and they miss it so much.
The spinach fried in oil should be stir-fried quickly. The spinach is cooked but not fried to soft. It is still crispy when bitten. The rich, vitamin-rich spinach flavor is particularly distinct and instantly occupies the taste buds.
Wu Haifan also asked: "How is the greenhouse spinach in our base? Is it delicious?"
"Delicious, delicious!" Wang Wenxun swallowed the food and quickly replied, "It's completely different from the moss we eat."
It was really delicious. He never thought he would be able to eat such a meal.
The moss they found was adequate, but it was coarse, had an earthy smell, and was a bit hard to swallow. It was a far cry from spinach, a vegetable meant for human consumption.
His only thought now was to pack up the meal and take it back with him so that his lord could have a taste of it. Their lord had worked so hard for the base, allowing most people to survive until now. It was not easy at all.
I wish the lord could also eat such good things.
Wang Wenxun's heart moved slightly, wondering if their nickel ore could be exchanged for some vegetables.
But even if it can't be replaced, potatoes are still very good. Wang Wenxun took another bite of mashed potatoes. It was soft and filling, and it also exuded its unique flavor.
Wang Wenxun and his friends wolfed down the first few bites of this meal, but later they ate very slowly, reluctant to finish.
Once you finish eating, it’s gone.
But in the end, they all finished eating, and the plate was empty, without a single grain left.
Several people were arranged to live in a dormitory.
Only after closing the door did they relax, especially Wang Wenxun's subordinates.
"This First Base is so prosperous." One of them sat down and began to sigh. "How did it develop to this point? Did you see the cotton cloth they're drying by the wall in the hall? It looks like new cloth... and furs too."
