Chapter 168 The aroma of meat fills the entire base



On the way back to the base, the twenty employees inevitably encountered a long queue of survivors in front of the intelligent rent collection machine, waiting to pay their crystal cores and check in to officially join the Qingquan Base.

Because those survivors had been in the base for some time, not to mention when they went to the edge of the farm to kill zombies and earn crystal cores, they had also seen the farm employees, so basically no one didn't know them.

Seeing Zhou Ran and the others so happy that their tails were about to reach the sky, suspicions arose in his heart.

Why do they look so happy?

Noticing everyone's gazes, the tall and thin man proudly puffed out his chest, strode forward, and said to his colleague next to him as he walked:

"Boss Lin is so good to us! He gives us a raise right away, without any hesitation!"

"Every month, we get food, vegetables, fruits, eggs, meat, and pure milk as part of our salary. We're also provided with free accommodation. The total value of these is probably worth hundreds of first-level crystal cores a month, right? It's enough to allow us to live in a two-bedroom apartment."

The tall and thin guy said that on purpose for everyone to hear.

That’s because of what happened before.

It was because some survivors wanted to take advantage of others and did not pay the first-level crystal core required to enter the base for refuge. Later, some people insulted Lin Yu, so Lin Yu cut off the tongues of some people.

The survivors in the base didn't say anything at the time, but the tall and thin man had heard many people say privately that Boss Lin was too cruel, so he went up to argue with them and made those people shut up.

Now that he has the persuasive power of Lin Yu to pay out "salary", he wonders who can resist showing envy!

I'm sure he's really looking forward to working on the farm!

Zhou Ran noticed the tall and thin man's intention, but did not stop him. He smiled and peeled off the transparent tape on the cardboard box, revealing the food inside.

The survivors who saw this scene had tears of envy streaming down their faces.

Oh my God!

They didn't lie.

There are really vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk!

Most of the survivors worked hard for a month to kill zombies and get crystal cores. After paying the rent, they could only barely keep themselves from going hungry. As for fruits and vegetables, they dared not even think about it, let alone eating meat!

Killing zombies is also risky. You may die at any time. It is not as easy as farming. It doesn't seem to require any brainpower. It is just physical work.

Not only is the monthly salary high, but there is also free accommodation!

At this moment, there was only one thought left in everyone's mind.

I just want to ask Lin Yu, does Qingquan Farm still need farmers?

And that’s not all.

After the tall and thin guy envied everyone, he finished his work on the farm and went home to discuss with his colleagues to borrow an electric rice cooker and an induction cooker to cook and stir-fry meat!

The pork that Lin Yufa had was pork belly. He held it in his hand and weighed it, estimating it to be about five pounds.

Everyone was reluctant to make too much at a time, so they just used a knife to cut off a small piece, about half a pound.

Put it in cold water and cook until it is cooked, then take out the meat, wash half a cabbage leaf with the soup used to cook the meat and cook it in.

Cut the pork belly into pieces, put it into the pan and stir-fry. When the pork belly becomes slightly curled, you can add the cabbage stalks.

Pour rice into the pan that has been used to stir-fry twice-cooked pork and stir-fry it again, so as not to waste the oil in the pan.

Since there was no seasoning, everyone only added a little salt to the cabbage stalks twice-cooked pork, but it still tasted very delicious.

All twenty employees basically did the same thing. After Zhou Ran finished frying the twice-cooked pork, he also used the pork fat to fry two eggs.

For a moment, the aroma of pork wafted over the entire Qingquan base.

The survivors who couldn't afford meat smelled the aroma of meat coming from somewhere, and then looked at the white rice in the bowl and suddenly felt it was tasteless.

He put his chopsticks aside angrily and cursed, "Please be a human being!"

Many survivors had not eaten meat for more than two months. They could still bear it at first, but after smelling the aroma of the meat, they could no longer bear it. They gritted their teeth and ran to Qingquan Supermarket, spending a huge amount of money to buy two taels of meat, intending to satisfy their cravings.

If you really can't afford meat, just buy two eggs.

After all, eggs are meat.

Those people with special abilities who can afford to live in a two-bedroom apartment, as long as they have the conditions to satisfy themselves, are reluctant to compromise themselves and go directly to Qingquan Supermarket to buy a pound of meat, as well as fruits, vegetables and eggs on the shelves.

It did bring a wave of consumption to Qingquan Supermarket.

It didn't take long before all the meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs and other items on the shelves of Qingquan Supermarket were sold out.

The twenty employees who just received their salary today had no idea about this. Each of them basically ate three bowls of rice in one meal.

There wasn't a single bit of vegetable or meat left on the plate; even the oil from the stir-fried cabbage stalks with the twice-cooked pork was eaten cleanly with the rice.

The tall and thin man smacked his lips and said with satisfaction, "It smells so good!"

After dinner, everyone was still busy.

There was no refrigerator in the staff dormitory, so the meat could not be kept at all. The remaining salt was spread on the pork belly, intending to use it to make bacon.

Only one or two cabbages were left for eating, and the rest were used to make sauerkraut.

The method of making sauerkraut is quite simple. There is no need to wash the cabbage. Just boil a pot of water and pour it on the cabbage until the water covers the cabbage. Then seal it and let it sit for half a month before eating.

This way, you can keep it for a longer time and enrich your taste buds.

As for apples, they are durable and you just need to eat them before they go bad.

Lin Yu didn't know that the vegetables, fruits, pork, eggs and other items on the shelves of Qingquan Supermarket were sold out, and that the farm employees were involved in this.

When the system reminded her that only 10% of the supplies in Qingquan Supermarket were left and needed to be restocked, Lin Yu decided to buy more this time.

The meat in the supermarket was the batch of frozen meat that Lin Yu had previously stockpiled in the freezer of the Qinglan Logistics transfer warehouse. Since the supermarket had just opened, she only tentatively put some pork on the shelves.

She doesn't put meat like beef, mutton, or frozen chicken and duck on the shelves.

The supermarket's business performance on the first day told her that sales were quite good, so Lin Yu planned to put a batch of other types of meat in the freezer on the shelves.

Just as Lin Yu stepped out of the first-floor hall of the villa, a steady male voice sounded behind him.

"Lin Yu."

When I turned around, I saw Pei Yan.

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not hide anything, and said frankly:

"I plan to go to Qingquan Supermarket."

She paused for a moment, then extended an invitation to Pei Yan:

"Would you like to come with me and take a look?"
