Chapter 24 Soybeans
In order to have more variety in his breakfast, Chi Yan was more proactive than Su Yinhe.
After returning to the base, he immediately found someone. Chi Yan had food in his hands. These days, a bowl of porridge could hire a person, not to mention that Chi Yan gave a small bag of rice at a time.
This is white rice.
If they got this small bag of rice and exchanged it for porridge, it would be enough food for more than ten days.
Everyone is working hard to get this job.
Chi Yan picked a few strong men who looked like they could work.
First, each person gave one-third of the rice as a deposit, and the rest would be given after they finished the work.
Lin Murong looked at the rice that Chi Yan gave out and felt suffocated by the pain.
Although it was not his, he couldn't help but feel anxious every time he saw Chi Yan's indifferent look.
"Why are you giving me so much rice, and high-quality rice at that? If you use this rice to exchange with those people at the base, you can get a lot of porridge in return. If you use this porridge to hire people, won't it be more economical?" Lin Murong felt that he had become a father at such a young age.
Chi Yan really spends a lot of money.
With the way he spends money, he won't be able to save anything.
Lin Murong was really worried that he would starve to death one day.
"It's troublesome." Running around just to save a little more money, and having to play tricks on those old guys, is really troublesome.
A little more is a little more, he doesn’t need that little bit.
"Look at you, a prodigal son." Lin Murong sighed.
"They're my things, why are you feeling sorry for them?" Chi Yan couldn't understand. The things he took out were all his, not Lin Murong's, so why should Lin Murong feel sorry for them?
"You don't understand." Lin Murong shook his head.
People like Chi Yan, who have no worries about food and clothing, live well no matter where they are, and even have spare money to spend, simply don't understand his feelings.
"You are so wasteful. You should save more. Dad is really worried that you will starve to death." Lin Murong looked at him as if he were his own son, and accidentally said something "treasonous".
Men always act like their partner's father.
Although Lin Murong calls Chi Brother, he has the heart of an old father and often secretly calls himself Dad in his heart.
Of course, Lin Murong would never dare to let Chi Yan know this name.
I can only talk about it in private.
It's not like he hasn't seen Chi Yan bullying others before.
But today, I was chatting with Su Yinhe about Chi Yan's gossip, and watching Chi Yan spending money lavishly, and before I knew it, this nickname came out.
Chi Yan raised his eyes and asked, "Dad?"
"Cough... cough cough cough..." Lin Murong almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"When did I get a father?" Chi Yan just looked at him without changing his expression.
But Lin Murong didn't dare to relax.
Last time, Chi Yan also easily drained the water from the body of a mutant, turning him into a dried human.
"I..." Lin Murong wanted to argue, but his brain seemed to have suddenly shut down and he couldn't think of any excuse.
"Don't come to my house for free meals this week." Chi Yan was not very angry, but he wanted to teach Lin Murong a lesson.
As soon as Chi Yan spoke, he grasped Lin Murong's lifeline.
"No, I'll starve to death." Lin Murong didn't care about being scared anymore. His cooking skills were not good enough to watch. Before he knew Chi Yan, he just ate whatever he could get. After he got to know Chi Yan, he would go to eat for free every few days.
Chi Yan was very picky, especially when it came to food. His family's meals were, in the apocalypse, the most delicious food on earth.
He has become accustomed to going there to have a snack from time to time.
Not letting him go for a week would be like killing him.
"Then starve to death." Chi Yan was very indifferent. Not everyone could be his father, not even by talking big.
Facing Lin Murong's pleading, Chi Yan was cold and ruthless.
Just like that, because of his boasting, Lin Murong lost four or five opportunities to eat for free.
So, the next day, Su Yinhe saw Chi Yan with four or five men, and a life-despairing Lin Murong.
Lin Murong became excited after seeing Su Yinhe.
There's no hope for Chi Yan, isn't there a supermarket here?
The instant noodles that Lin Murong brought back were almost finished, so he brought a lot of gold with him when he came today.
He was not as extravagant and ruthless as Chi Yan. He brought a backpack with him, but he only brought five or six.
But compared with others, it’s not a small amount.
After arriving, Chi Yan took out the millstone from the space.
When it comes to food and drink, Chi Yan is very picky.
The millstone was cleaned thoroughly.
He also provided the men he brought with him with bath water, disposable bags of shampoo and shower gel, and a set of clean clothes for each of them.
Shampoo and shower gel were rare items, and the men took them without intending to use them, so they secretly kept them and sold them.
But Chi Yan threatened them when he gave it to them.
If they didn't have to stay secretly, they wouldn't have to do it.
He doesn't like dirty people.
Those men all knew whether a small packet of shampoo and shower gel was more important or more than ten days of food rations.
So the little thoughts they had were gone.
They planned to grind the beans right next to the supermarket, and Su Yinhe provided them with three large buckets of soybeans that she had soaked last night.
They are all high-quality soybeans.
The men who came to work looked at the golden soybeans and swallowed their saliva at the same time.
None of them are people with special abilities, but just ordinary people. Although they are strong laborers and have some strength, they can do some tasks entrusted by the base to ensure that they will not starve to death.
But I just can’t starve to death.
Moreover, the base does not have many tasks for ordinary people. 70% of the people in the base are ordinary people, and 70% of them are competing for these tasks.
Sometimes they can grab it, sometimes they can't.
Even if you get contribution points from completing tasks, you should spend them sparingly to avoid starving to death due to not being able to grab tasks from the base for a long time.
They are all strong young men, and they need to eat a lot. No matter how frugal they are, they still have a lot to eat.
They hadn't gotten any missions in a few days, so they spent their contribution points to buy a bowl of the cheapest porridge, added some water, and ate a little bit every day.
If they don't get any more missions, they will starve to death.
That's why they fought so fiercely when Chi Yan went to look for someone yesterday.
More than ten days’ worth of food.
It’s better to calculate it based on one bowl of porridge per day. If you eat it sparingly, maybe it can last you a month.
Yesterday, Chi Yan paid them one-third of the rice, fearing that they were too hungry and would not have the strength to grind the mill today.
After they received the money yesterday, they quickly exchanged it for contribution points and used the contribution points to buy a bowl of porridge, fearing that they would not have enough energy today.
I ate a bowl of it before coming here this morning, but porridge is not enough to fill you up.
They were now looking at the three large buckets of soybeans and were hungry again.
Su Yinhe looked at their hungry eyes and was a little worried that they might steal a few handfuls of soybeans and stuff them into their mouths while nagging.
