Chapter 66 Chapter 66
The people who had tasted it all gave it five-star praise. Even Xie Wei, who didn't participate much in their conversation, said a few more words, "It's really good, only slightly worse than Qin Wei's."
This is already the highest praise, because among everyone, Qin Wei is the best cook.
Everyone praised her, making Yu Fei blush.
"Everyone, eat it. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
The group of young people had big appetites and ate up the entire table of food without leaving any food behind.
Yu Fei voluntarily stayed behind to clean up the mess. On normal days, she did the least work, so it was only right for her to do more now.
There was another person who stayed with her, and that was Ye Xun. He had noticed Yu Fei looking at him more than once at the dinner table.
Of course, he wouldn't be so self-indulgent as to think that someone was attracted to him. First of all, he and Yu Fei had no private contact. Secondly, he had never concealed his relationship with Qin Wei from anyone.
The most likely thing that could make her so embarrassed is household affairs.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Yu Fei couldn't help but go to find Ye Xun, "Ye Xun, my mother has had high blood pressure recently, and her body can't stand walking like this. Are there any seats left for the two of you who came back with you that day? My mother won't ride in vain, any amount of food or other things will do."
She took out the face cream that Chen Guoan gave her last night and placed it in front of Ye Xun, "This can be used as a deposit."
Face cream is indeed a rare commodity nowadays and is worth a lot of food, but Ye Xun still pushed the thing away.
"I will tell them that this thing is no longer needed. Uncle Chen took a lot of effort to bring it back for you, so you can use it. However," Ye Xun suddenly changed his tone, and Yu Fei's heart was lifted again.
"You need to take care of yourselves. He doesn't have much food in the car."
The heart that had jumped to my throat was put back into my stomach.
Ye Xun found the expression on her face unusually lively and somewhat amusing.
"Okay, you pick up the rest by yourself. I'll go talk to him. It will be too late if we leave later."
Since it was related to whether her mother could get on the bus, Yu Fei did not dare to delay him and quickly made way for him to pass.
When Ye Xun found Sun Xiao, he and Lu Man were cleaning up, and it seemed that they had just finished their meal.
"Brother Sun, are you interested in discussing a business deal with you that will never lose money?" He described Yu Fei's request as a business deal. There is not much difference between the two in essence, except that both the principal and the goods are profits.
He didn't wait for Sun Xiao to speak, and finished the following words at once: "My mother, the base commander's wife, has an old illness and needs to borrow your car. This price is normal. If you really want to settle down in Province Y in the future, I still suggest you agree to it."
Sun Xiao stopped what he was doing and looked up: "Oh? Then why don't you take this job?"
Of course it was because the girl was already in his car, and had been there from the beginning.
"Have you seen Yu Fei in my car, the short, thin girl?" Ye Xun watched him nod before continuing, "That's his daughter."
Daughter? If he heard correctly, the girl's name was Yu Fei, right?
So he asked in confusion: "Why is your last name not Chen?"
"Take the mother's surname." Ye Xun told Sun Xiao a little about her family's affairs. It was nothing more than that his wife had a difficult delivery and the husband was heartbroken, so he let the child take the woman's surname.
The couple has always been very loving and their family is harmonious, otherwise Chen Guoan would not come to him every time.
"Uncle Chen values his family very much. You helped him this time. When we get to Province Y, whether you want to live in the house assigned by the base or build your own, it will be easy."
Seeing that Sun Xiao was still hesitating, Ye Xun directly used his trump card. He could see that Sun Xiao definitely wanted to live in a detached house, so the only way was to build one himself.
Now that the shortcut is in front of him, it depends on whether he accepts it.
After thinking for the time it took to smoke a cigarette, Sun Xiao decided to take it.
There were more people, and he could chat with Lu Man to kill time. His attention was mainly focused on driving, and he had no time to pay more attention to her, so he inevitably neglected her.
Before they set off, Yu Fei quickly called Yu Qiuhua. She also knew how to conceal her identity, so she tried her best to avoid the crowd and walked in from the outside of the team.
As soon as I opened the door, a refreshing cool breeze hit me in the face, and my head, which was dizzy due to high blood pressure, suddenly felt a lot better.
Sun Xiao's car is also a modified one, and its power comes from three solar panels on the roof. Unlike Ye Xun's, he had someone modify this car after the end of the world, and it cost a lot of materials.
The back seats of the car were removed and a blanket was laid on them. When it was time to sleep, the things on the blanket were moved to the driver's seat.
Originally, two people could turn over when sleeping, but now it is a bit crowded with three people. However, this condition is already pretty good in the end times, and Yu Qiuhua got the benefit for free, so naturally he would not complain.
The team set off and the vehicles moved slowly.
We have left the Wild Wolf Base and reached the border of Province G.
Unlike the plain terrain of J Province, this place is mainly mountainous. It is not realistic to cross the mountains on foot. You can only take the national highway, which makes the road winding and takes more time.
There are many mountains, and the probability of encountering wild animals is greatly increased.
When entering Province G, Chen Guoan repeatedly emphasized on the radio that people should not be left alone, and if they wanted to go to the bathroom, they should go with at least five people.
The national highway passes through the mountains, and with the trees as a buffer, the temperature drops slightly by a few degrees.
There are more creatures to be seen on the road, and from time to time you can see a few squirrels hopping across the road.
After eating salted meat for almost a month, everyone couldn't help but salivate when they saw the fresh meat.
Chen Guoan also knew that everyone had not eaten fresh meat for a long time, so he set up camp early and sent a few patrolmen to go hunting in the mountains.
No one has been to the forests here since the end of the world. The rabbits and roe deer in the mountains are all fat and strong. They are not afraid of people and all stay close to people, only to be shot to death.
When Bal saw the animals running in the mountains, he excitedly chirped at Ye Xun's feet. Bal was a large dog, and it was really unfair for him to be trapped in the small space of the RV every day.
Ye Xun put a positioning collar around its neck, then opened the car door and said, "Go out and play, and remember to come back before dawn."
It may not understand human language, but it knows the harm of the sun. Bal has always been a smart dog.
With his master's permission, Baal flew out like an arrow and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Soon, the patrol team returned with a full load, including dozens of hares, six roe deer, and even a fat wild boar.
A group of people immediately surrounded him. Chen Guoan was grinning from ear to ear, and his eyes, which were already small to begin with, were so narrow that no gaps could be seen.
The original team of 80,000 people was reduced to only 60,000 after some casualties on the road, but Chen Guoan's burden was much lighter.
With 20,000 fewer people, food consumption was greatly saved.
There are 60,000 people, so everyone can get a mouthful of broth.
Some diligent people dug wild vegetables on both sides of the national highway. Now there are only two seasons in a year, winter and summer, and wild vegetables have broken the rule of growing only in spring, especially shepherd's purse and dandelions, which grow extremely lush.
After picking them, rinse them with water, then cut them off and cook them together with the broth.
For a moment, the air was filled with the aroma of meat. Even Ye Xun, who was in the car, could faintly smell it.
He didn't mind having these two bites of meat, but other people's always smelled better. After smelling it for a long time, his mouth would unconsciously secrete saliva.
He has become addicted to making soup recently. Ever since he drank a bowl of pig's trotter soup that Qin Wei made for Xu Feng, he now asks for soup every now and then.
He found Xie Wei who was writing and drawing in a notebook, "Where is the lamb? Let it catch another lamb, use half of it to make soup, and the other half to make barbecue." As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe the unknown liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing his unkempt appearance, Xie Wei lost his mind to write data. "Junior brother, can you please stop drooling next to me? The lamb just flew away with Baal, probably to go hunting. If you want to eat mutton, wait a little longer."
After saying that, Xie Wei stood up and moved to another place to continue, making it clear that he didn't want to be disturbed anymore.
Ye Xun looked around and saw that everyone was busy with their own things. Even Qin Wei was exercising. He had no choice but to pick up the game console and lie on the bed to kill time.
I wonder what Bal and the lamb will catch?
