Chapter 373 Picking Up Bargains
"you're right."
A smile appeared on Qingqing's face, but she couldn't help asking, "Am I really prettier than her? I still think she's prettier than me."
“Really, I said before the apocalypse, baby, you are prettier than many celebrities. If you have the chance to debut, you will definitely be a big star.”
"You're exaggerating."
"That's an exaggeration. You're the most beautiful. I've never seen a woman more beautiful than you."
She smiled broadly as the little fat boy gently licked her.
Her appearance is her most precious asset. If someone prettier than her appears around her, Qingqing can't help but compare herself to them. She will belittle the other person to elevate herself, which makes her feel secure and vain.
Although she felt much better, Qingqing still felt a pang of jealousy when she thought about the apparent gap between her and Ling Ran.
Ling Ran was naturally unaware of her feelings.
Ling Ran strolled around the Nirvana Base for a while, and seeing that the sun was getting stronger, the group went back.
The pickup truck was parked outside the villa. Thanks to Pei Xiu's efforts, the watermelons on the truck already weighed four or five pounds. If it were before the apocalypse, these watermelons could have been picked, but after the apocalypse, they could still grow a little longer. If they didn't weigh at least twenty pounds, it would be a waste to pick them.
"Sister, you're back. Do you have any taro?"
"Um."
Ling Ran responded, and Uncle Chen chimed in, "Not only did we have taro, but we also got some potatoes, chestnuts, and corn. These chestnuts can be used to make chicken soup, or to make braised pork ribs with chestnuts. We can also make roasted chestnuts with sugar, which would be a delicious snack for the adults."
"That's great. If we have potatoes, we can make hot and sour shredded potatoes. I haven't had them in a long time. We can also fry some French fries or something."
"That's fine, young master. We'll save some seeds later. If you want to eat them, you can grow some."
After Uncle Chen finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to get busy. It was already past ten o'clock, and he had to start preparing meals for so many people.
Luckily, I had taro rice for lunch today, which was relatively convenient.
Ling Ran sat down on the sofa, took out her tablet, and planned to continue reading Fan Chuan's novel. Just as she lay down, Peng Hui arrived, followed by several other people. Upon closer inspection, some of their faces were familiar; they were the massage therapists from yesterday.
"grown ups."
When Peng Hui saw Ling Ran, he smiled and said, "Did you sleep well last night? These are the technicians who gave the adults massages yesterday. I left them in that house nearby. The adults can call them anytime if they need anything."
As he spoke, he pointed to the left side of the villa for Ling Ran.
That was the closest three-story self-built house to the villa.
"Um."
Peng Hui rubbed his hands together, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Sir, the base is planning to launch an SS-level mission. Could you come and help? Of course, the distribution of resources will be 90% to you and 10% to our base."
He learned from Hope Base that the division was between eight adults and two bases, but their Nirvana Base was not as powerful as Hope Base, so Peng Hui adjusted the division down again.
It's more accurate to call it a mission from the Nirvana Base than a mission from the adults. The Nirvana Base staff will probably only be able to do odd jobs and get some support.
To put it bluntly, they were just there to take advantage of the situation. Peng Hui was well aware of this, which is why he was embarrassed when he brought it up.
Ling Ran glanced at him, making Peng Hui's scalp tingle: "If you are unwilling, we will not force you. The base is already very grateful for the many rewards you gave us yesterday."
Pei Yi said from the side, "Come over here and tell me what the mission is."
