A huge pot was placed on the stove, filled with all kinds of meat stewing inside. This time, Lu Yuan even took out a packet of hot pot base from his dimensional space.
"Wow, Lu Yuan, where did you get this good stuff? Tell me about it sometime! You can't get this kind of stuff anywhere else!" Hei Zi asked, swallowing hard as he pointed at the hot pot base in Lu Yuan's hand.
"Haha! Want some? Go to the black market! As long as you have money and patience, they can get you anything good! It's just a bit pricey!" Lu Yuan casually made up an excuse to tell Hei Zi.
But the other party clearly didn't believe Lu Yuan's words: "Come on! I know everyone in the black market, there's no way I'd have any hot pot base! Do you have some new connections?"
"Ahem! Don't ask! If you want some, I can get you some later! They just don't want to be exposed!" Seeing that Hei Zi didn't believe him, Lu Yuan could only vaguely cover it up.
"Okay! Get me ten or eight packs another day! I'll pay you then!" Hei Zi mumbled, stuffing some food into his mouth.
Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted from the pot, filling the entire room with the spicy scent of hot pot broth. Everyone eagerly scooped out ingredients and began to feast, completely disregarding the heat.
Perhaps due to the long period of solitary confinement in prison, the appetites of the group increased dramatically. The more than ten kilograms of various meats that Lu Yuan had prepared were quickly consumed, and the various vegetables on the side were also completely eaten.
"Come on! Let's have another one!" Hei Zi said, holding the wine bottle crookedly.
"That was fucking awesome! After this meal, I probably won't be able to eat out anymore! Captain Lu, you'll be in charge of everyone's meals from now on!" Hou Qiang shouted with a flushed face.
Upon hearing the other person's words, Lu Yuan leaned against the wall and laughed, "You son of a bitch, you really think this is some fancy restaurant? What are you thinking! You've had too much to drink!"
So everyone started drinking in a chaotic manner. Fortunately, Lu Yuan had brought a lot of wine that he had brewed himself with grains in the past. It was stored in the dimensional space and was well preserved. As long as it wasn't placed in the small wooden house, there wouldn't be any problems.
The best part is that the flow of time in the small wooden house used to store things in Lu Yuan's dimensional space is basically negligible. An apple placed inside will not spoil for a year, but anything placed outside the small wooden house will rot very quickly.
Lu Yuan basically figured out the pattern in this situation: the small wooden houses were used to store the food that had already been prepared, and it could be stored there for a very long time. Things that needed to grow were placed outside, and they could grow at a rate dozens of times faster than those outside.
Having discovered this pattern, Lu Yuan buried some things in the ground, such as some old wines. After a few months, the taste would be comparable to wines aged for decades, and the taste would be even more mellow. Some well-known wines from before the apocalypse, such as Moutai, which had been around for a long time, were not as good as the wines Lu Yuan had here.
Looking at the bottles scattered on the floor, Lu Yuan leaned against the wall and began to reminisce about the good times he spent with his family. Xiao Shan's image kept appearing in his mind, and a sweet smile appeared on his lips.
Hei Zi and a few others were playing drinking games and drinking heavily. He quickly got drunk and collapsed in front of Lu Yuan. Seeing that Lu Yuan was hiding to the side and secretly grinning, Hei Zi slapped Lu Yuan on the shoulder.
"Lu Yuan, what are you laughing at! So lewd? Are you thinking about women?" Hei Zi looked at Lu Yuan with a lewd expression.
Lu Yuan raised his hand and slapped Hei Zi's hand away, replying, "What nonsense are you talking about! You've had too much to drink, have I been laughing?"
"Haha! You still say you're not laughing? Your mouth is practically stretched to your ears! Look at you guys! Are you laughing or not?" After saying that, Hei Zi kicked the others.
Hou Qiang and the others immediately surrounded him, and seeing Lu Yuan's smiling face, they also started to grin foolishly.
"Captain, you're just thinking about women! I've seen it all before, have you got your eye on someone? Need any help from us brothers?"
"Get lost! What help do I need from you if I've set my sights on a woman!"
"Tch! Still not telling me? Is it Han Wen from the logistics department? I've heard a lot of rumors outside. Captain, tell me, did you and that Han sister have something going on?" Hou Qiang licked his lips and leaned closer.
Lu Yuan kicked the other person away and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about! Sister Han and I are just like siblings, why are you making wild guesses! Be careful you don't go to the tongue-pulling hell for talking nonsense in the future! By the way, where did you hear this from? I'm a grown man, so it's okay, but Sister Han is not like me! Don't spread rumors in the future!"
The group nodded silently, while Hei Zi, standing to the side, took another sip of his drink, let out a burp, and said, "Did you fucking sleep with my dream girl?"
Everyone immediately became interested upon hearing this: "What's going on, Blackie? How could your dream girl have been slept with by our captain?!"
"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean I have connections with this person or that person? Do you really think I'm like you, a bunch of animals?"
Hei Zi, however, didn't believe it. He leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Really not? It's okay, if it is, it is. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, I, Hei Zi, am not the kind of person who's fussy! Women are like clothes, not to mention I haven't even bought this 'clothes' yet!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore! I was just thinking about something! It has nothing to do with women! Are you still thirsty? Come on! Fill up your glasses and let's continue!"
