Chapter 60 Insect Meat
Everyone listened to the class very seriously.
Mo Fei, who was originally very serious, suddenly became distracted.
She thought of someone she had not seen for a long time, the original owner’s junior Luo Chao.
After we parted at the black market, we are thousands of miles apart and I wonder how Luo Chao is doing now.
Are he and his family still alive?
He runs such a large grain and oil processing factory, has anyone been eyeing him?
Speaking of which, the rice and flour in Mo Fei's space, as well as some excellent cold-resistant seeds, were all purchased from Luo Chao. Mo Fei also realized later how much convenience Luo Chao had given her.
Although Mo Fei told him everything she knew about the natural disaster, she couldn't be sure whether Luo Chao had made adequate preparations, whether he had awakened his special abilities, and whether he had survived in this cannibalistic world.
People are like this. When they encounter something slightly related at a certain time period, they will suddenly think of people they met before.
That person may have helped you or hurt you, or may just be an ordinary classmate or colleague of yours.
But sometimes you can even recall the tone of someone's voice when they said something, or the expression on their face when they ate something.
People's fate is like the oil in a lamp.
Lamps come in different sizes and lamp oil has different amounts, just like the relationships between people.
Everyone is moving forward.
When one relationship ends, another one begins.
You know you may never have the chance to see each other again in your life.
"I don't know if making a wish will work." Mo Fei said in a low voice.
If making a wish works, I hope that my kind and well-meaning junior Luo Chao can be safe and sound.
Taking into account the existing materials and feasibility issues, everyone finally unanimously approved Mo Fei's proposal.
It was decided to first open up one acre of land as an experimental base and build the simplest plastic film greenhouse.
Once people have a specific goal, they will be motivated to move forward.
At one time, almost half of the people were busy.
If you have superpowers, use them; if you don’t have superpowers, use your strength.
Only two people did not believe that building a shed would be useful in such cold weather. They always complained about this and that when working, and were lazy from time to time, which made the others somewhat dissatisfied.
Seeing that everyone was staring at them, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to be busy.
Today is a rare good day.
There was no snow and no wind. A gap appeared in the thick clouds in the sky, revealing the sunshine, which was like a luxury.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Lin Jiyuan asked across a low wall.
Mo Fei shook his head and reached out to put the frozen jerky drying in the yard into the basin.
"Not enough meat?" Lin Jiyuan asked again.
If it were in the past, he might not care what others were thinking.
But there are two exceptions.
One is his younger brother Lin Jiye. They are blood relatives, but their personalities are completely different.
The other one is Mo Fei.
They had known each other for less than half a year, but Lin Jiyuan always felt that they had known each other for a long time. More importantly, he didn't need to ask, just by looking at Mo Fei's expression, he seemed to know what she was thinking.
Lin Jiyuan realized that perhaps his feelings towards Mo Fei were a little different.
It’s just that the number of opposite sex in his life is as rare as S-level supernatural crystal cores.
So he didn't understand what kind of feeling this was.
At least he doesn't reject it, right?
Mo Fei shook his head and raised the basin forward to show Lin Jiyuan the amount of meat inside.
There were at least 40 to 50 kilograms of meat in the pot, filling up a large bowl and making it extremely heavy. However, it looked like neither pork, beef, mutton, nor fish, and it was mostly fat, making it extremely greasy.
"There's still so much meat, what are you worried about?"
"..." Mo Fei showed an incredible expression, "Are you serious? Even if you are a starving ghost, you should collapse after eating slug meat for ten days."
Lin Jiyuan remained silent.
According to the country's statistics before the natural disaster, a person would eat about a pig a year, about 200 kilograms of meat. Not to mention that the superpowers generally eat more now.
The stock of frozen meat in Mo Fei's space could last for another ten years if the five of them lived frugally.
But now there are 35 people in the town, and no one can afford to feed so many people the amount of meat they eat every day.
Therefore, Mo Fei now cooks pork, beef, mutton, eggs and milk when he wants to satisfy his cravings, and usually he cooks fish and shrimp.
Because the river water in these spaces and the underground rivers of ancient wells can be used for breeding. Otherwise, we can make some mutant animals that everyone hunts.
It’s just that the weather is cold now, and many evolved animals have either died or hibernated.
They dug and dug in the snow, but at most they found some insects.
Some bugs have evolved toxins and stingers, leaving only a tiny bit of their body that can be eaten.
This slug weighing over 100 pounds was discovered by Ran Bing after he and Mo Jiayue rolled in the snow and knocked down a withered cedar.
The tree fell with such a loud noise that the slug had to crawl out from under the tree. Because of its heavy body, it crawled much slower than its brother, the snail.
After discovering such a large piece of meat, the level of Methane Hydrate's excitement was directly proportional to the level of Mo Jiayue's screams.
Mo Jiayue was so scared that she burst into tears on the spot and ran away while crying, but Ran Bing grabbed the slug's two tentacles and dragged it all the way, wanting Mo Jiayue to touch it as well.
This also led to Mo Jiayue strongly demanding that Bing Bing wash his hands 20 times and put on gloves before she was willing to play with him.
However, this fat slug made everyone discover a "business opportunity".
There are many dead trees on the nearby mountains, and every time you knock down a few trees, you can find a few mutant insects.
Some weigh only a few kilograms, while others weigh dozens of kilograms.
Although they don't look good and may look disgusting, these pieces, big and small, are all meat.
Moreover, many mutant animals weighing more than several dozen kilograms have evolved supernatural crystal cores in their brains.
When everyone handed the meat to Mo Fei, they solemnly told Mo Fei that when he set up the stall later, he must tell them that what he sold were pork and mutton, and put more spices in to get rid of the insect smell.
Let them turn a blind eye and cover their ears to steal the bell.
"Hmm...are you asking me to sell slug meat under the guise of selling mutton?"
Mo Fei laughed at that time.
Then in the past ten days, Mo Fei made stir-fried version, spicy version, braised meat version, barbecue version, braised version, coriander salad version, and jelly version...
The most popular ones are the braised and grilled versions. The braised slug meat is tender, a bit like shrimp paste.
The BBQ version is more like it.
Mo Fei first pounded the snot meat into a paste, added cumin, fragrant lard and a little bit of starch, mixed well and set aside.
Then prepare a bowl of garlic chili sauce, and tomato sauce is the soul. When the iron pan is sizzling with oil, squeeze in the slug meat, bake until both sides are golden brown, and then pour the sauce on it.
The chewy and smooth texture is absolutely amazing, it's just as smooth as the teppanyaki shrimp paste.
Everyone in the town ate until their faces were flushed and they ate until they burped.
He ate five bowls of combustible ice alone.
If he hadn't held Murphy's hand and shouted loudly at the last moment, "I'll go catch a few more slugs," probably everyone in the town would have eaten so much that they couldn't walk.
But no matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it eventually. Moreover, although insect meat tastes good, it is still a bit nauseating to think about it.
"Nothing to do today. Do you want to go hunting?"
Lin Jiyuan took out the car keys and asked.
It was cold, and even his car keys were covered in clothes.
It was a small purse that Mo Fei found when he was rummaging through things in the space. It should be a gift for buying something.
She saw that it was quite unique and gave it to Lin Jiyuan, saying that it could be used to store car keys. It was cold and it would not freeze or get wet.
"Are you asking me out?"
Mo Fei asked jokingly.
Lin Jiyuan looked up: "Did you eat too many slugs?"
"..." Mo Fei. As expected, there was no point in joking with this guy.
"No, no, no, my brother didn't mean that." Lin Jiye always appeared at the critical moment, "Of course he is asking you out. He is just afraid of being rejected by you, so he is stubborn. Don't look at my brother's stubbornness, but his heart is as soft as a slug. Brother, you will fail to pursue your wife if you are so arrogant, you know that. Don't learn bad things instead of good ones. I am more experienced in this regard. After all, there were people pursuing me when I was in school. Do you want me to lend you a few romance novels in my collection? Do you want to read "Flirting with You into Marriage", "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me" or "The Precious Wife in the Palm"..."
Then Lin Jiye received free hair perm service from his brother.
Lin Jiyuan looked at his brother's hair that was smoking from the electric shock, and the corners of his mouth moved: "Next time you want to perm your hair, just tell me."
"Wow, wow, wow..." Lin Jiye ran away crying.
Peng Yuan, who was helping to weld steel pipes in the distance, saw his good brother running closer and closer with tears in his eyes, and quickly put down the work in his hands.
"What happened? Were you beaten by Ke Ran Bing?" Peng Yuan asked anxiously. Ke Ran Bing and Lin Jiye often quarreled, but Lin Jiye had never been beaten to tears!
"That's too much!" Lin Jiye complained, touching his hair. "My handsome guy beheaded a woman but my brother ruined it! Just because I exposed him!"
"What did you expose about him?" Lan Chengyin also came over.
His job was to move large items using vines and to remove some very tenacious weeds.
The weeds seemed to be very afraid of his little vines. They would die on their own before they could get close to them, saving him a lot of trouble.
Lan Chengyin looked into the distance and saw Mo Fei going out with Lin Jiyuan. He suddenly realized, "You're not going to expose that your brother likes Sister Mo, are you?"
Lin Jiye nodded with tears in his eyes: "Yes!"
"You deserve it." Lan Chengyin and Peng Yuan said in unison.
Peng Yuan circled around Lin Jiye a few times and said, "Brother, I have a favor to ask."
Lin Jiye raised his head from the grief of having his hair ruined: "Ah?"
Then I saw Peng Yuan transformed into a pair of iron scissors:
"To be honest, when I was young, I always dreamed of becoming a hairdresser. But my family wouldn't let me, saying it would bring shame to our Peng family. How about you help me fulfill my dream today? After I give you a haircut, maybe I'll be promoted to the top Tony teacher in our town."
"Get out of here!!!"
Lin Jiye jumped three feet away and looked at Peng Yuan as if he were a zombie.
"Come on, come on, I'll give you a discount. All you need is one C-grade crystal core. If you really can't make it, I'll give you one for free!" Peng Yuan chased after Lin Jiye.
Mo Fei had originally not planned to go out with Lin Jiyuan, but her old father suddenly opened the door and came out, saying that he wanted to go to the mountains to see if there were any mushrooms to pick.
How could Mo Fei let Mo Zhicheng take risks? He grabbed the basket and said:
"I'll go! I'll go!"
Seeing his daughter and Lin Jiyuan get into the car together, Mo Zhicheng returned to the house and smiled with a look of success.
Song Yi was knitting, and when she saw her husband's expression, she immediately frowned:
"Did you do something behind my back?"
Mo Zhicheng immediately stopped smiling:
"I don't know what you are talking about. I'm doing this for my daughter's lifelong happiness, what do you know? I made a list of every eligible single man in town, and after comprehensive comparison and scoring, Xiaolin is the most suitable one." Mo Zhicheng took out a small notebook from the mattress under his pillow.
Written on it in clear ink were the birthdates, education, assets, hobbies, special abilities, and family members of every male in the town.
There are two big words "Best" written next to Lin Jiyuan's name.
Song Yi twitched her lips and said, "I heard that you secretly wrote something with a flashlight every night while I was sleeping. Aren't you afraid that your daughter will find out and tear it up?"
"That's why I hid it! This is valuable information. Give it back to me and I'm going to put it away. I'm planning to open a marriage club in town. What do you think?"
Mo Zhicheng, an old cadre who retired a long time ago, had nothing to do and planned to start a second career here.
"Not so good... You're running a matchmaking agency, but you don't even look at how many people there are in this town."
Soon-Yi puts a damper on her husband's temper.
Seeing Mo Zhicheng's mouth drooping, he looked a little sad.
Song Yi changed her tone again: "But I think your vision is good this time. I think Xiao Lin and our Fei Fei have a chance. It's just that they both don't quite understand yet."
"Oh? You think so too. Come on, let's analyze the clues." Mo Zhicheng immediately became happy.
In the room, Mo Jiayue pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside the window, her mind was not on the math problem in front of her at all.
Mo Jianian slammed the table three times before Mo Jiayue came back to her senses. She pouted in dissatisfaction: "I don't want to learn this. I know every word, but I can't do any of the questions."
"This is already the simplest system of linear equations with two variables." Mo Jianian said with a cold face.
Ever since my sister started playing with combustible ice, she has become less and less interested in studying. This is not a good sign.
"But I'm hungry now. Brother, can you go to the kitchen and get me a bottle of strawberry milk? I want to drink hot milk, can you heat it up for me?"
Mo Jiayue touched her increasingly round belly and said, "You know that we fire bears get hungry easily. If we don't have enough food, we won't be able to spit fire. If we can't spit fire, how can we help everyone keep warm?"
Mo Jianian stood up resignedly:
"You'd better solve this problem before I come back."
"I know, I know." Mo Jiayue nodded repeatedly.
As soon as Mo Jianian left the room, Mo Jiayue slipped into another room and opened the back door.
At the back door, Methane hydrate was waiting for her, wearing a bucket on his head and a broom on his body, dressed as a snowman.
"Little Bear, come up!"
Combustible Ice shook off the snow on his body and let Mo Jiayue lie on his back.
Mo Jiayue nodded repeatedly: "Hurry up. Follow mom and Uncle Lin."
By the time Mo Jianian heated up the milk in the kitchen and brought it over, the place was empty.
The air was filled with the chill of ice and snow.
"You're taking my sister out to play again and not letting her do her homework, right? Good."
Mo Jianian put the milk in his pocket, said goodbye to Mo Zhicheng and the others, and left.
Mo Zhicheng and Song Yi just thought that their grandson wanted to see the greenhouse and didn't care. They just told him to come back early.
Mo Fei sat in the passenger seat.
There were only her and Lin Jiyuan in the car, so she used the space unscrupulously.
I started eating snacks and listening to audio novels again.
