As Chen Chuyao said, there are really very few people in his family.
When Su Jin and his group were brought there, only Chen Chuyao and his mother were in the two-story duplex suite.
Chen Chuyao's mother seemed to be a very capable woman. When she learned that Chen Chuyao would bring people to her home to rest, she not only prepared a large table of dinner, but also cleaned up the rooms for several people.
"You must be the Xinyu Team that Chu Yao mentioned, right? You are really young and promising!"
Wen Xiaoling said with a smile.
"Auntie Wen, you are too kind. You are also very young."
Su Jin gestured to Lu Hao to hand the gift in his hand to Aunt Wen. Those were also the gifts they temporarily took out from the space. They were all the best tea and red wine before the end of the world.
"What are you bringing with you from so far away? Come in quickly."
Wen Xiaoling didn't expect that the Xinyu team who came to stay overnight were so polite, and her favorability towards them immediately increased a little.
Chen Chuyao also learned from Wei Junhao that Su Jin and Lu Hao are now level seven psychics. While Wen Xiaoling was preparing the meal, he took out a notebook from under the coffee table and began to ask about their various experiences.
"Are you the first to awaken when the end of the world comes?"
"Why are you two advancing so quickly? Do you have any secret?"
"How can wood-type abilities be used in actual combat?"
"Why does Lu Hao have such amazing kung fu?"
"Does Team Xinyu kill zombies every day to train their superpowers?"
“…”
Every time Su Jin and Lu Hao spoke, he would write down every word with great trepidation, making the two of them feel like they were being interviewed by reporters.
It was not until even Wen Xiaoling couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Chen Chuyao a few words that Chen Chuyao let the two of them go.
Chen Chuyao was even more talkative at the dinner table, and bluntly said that he wanted to invite the Xinyu team to be the superpower consultants of the N City base.
"Mr. Chen, supernatural powers were all discovered by those with supernatural powers themselves. Now that the apocalypse has lasted for more than half a year, the knowledge about supernatural powers is limited to what people are familiar with. I don't think it makes much sense for us to continue to serve as consultants."
Lu Hao declined politely.
Chen Chuyao sighed and said, "You're right. I was too eager to improve the overall strength of the base. Look at you all now, you're all level seven."
"Eat well, even so much food can't stop you from eating."
Wen Xiaoling scolded, then turned around and apologized to Su Jin and the others: "I'm so sorry, Chu Yao has always been competitive since he was young. Even when drinking milk, he has to compete with the children next to him. Once he falls behind, he gets anxious. Please don't mind it."
Su Jin tasted the stewed pheasant with mushrooms made by Wen Xiaoling herself, and found that it was comparable to Lin Yunguo's.
"Auntie, it's okay. We are happy to tell you everything we know, but the food you cook is so delicious."
Su Jin tried to change the subject. She only felt that Chen Chuyao's face was always filled with two big words: envy...
When Chen Chuyao heard Su Jin finally praise their own products, he immediately became proud: "Of course, my mother was a female elite with a chef certificate, a nutritionist certificate, and a maternal and child care certificate. She founded the most famous chain training institution in China at that time."
“Amazing!”
Su Jin exclaimed in admiration. No wonder she felt that Wen Xiaoling was a very capable person the first time she saw her. She didn't notice that Lu Hao, who was originally concentrating on eating, was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head to eat again.
Many of the ingredients on the dinner table, including mushrooms, black fungus, and bean sprouts, were grown by Wen Xiaoling at home. She also took a few people to visit her small balcony vegetable garden.
"I can't grow vegetables or grains anymore, but I can make mushrooms and other food that can be grown with water. Although the taste may not be as good as before, it's still better than having nothing to eat every day."
Wen Xiaoling introduced with a smile on her face.
“That’s amazing.”
It was also the first time that Lu Guanhai saw such a neat and useful small vegetable garden. He was very interested in plants, but he did not expect that these ingredients could be cultivated by an ordinary woman.
Su Jin also admired Wen Xiaoling very much. Although the output of soilless cultivation was not large, it was completely enough for a family.
"My mother is my strongest support. The methods she promoted are now popular throughout the entire N City Base and even the B City Base. Although there is not enough food now, as long as people have something to eat, they can survive."
Chen Chuyao seems to be very proud of Wen Xiaoling.
"Auntie Wen, Mr. Chen, can you teach us your soilless cultivation technique? I want to bring it back to the S City base to promote it. The cost can be settled with the materials in our space. Is this okay with you?"
Su Jin suddenly had an idea. Shiitake mushrooms, black fungus and bean sprouts are actually very nutritious. Moreover, no one in the S City base seemed to have thought of these. If he could promote them back, he believed that life in the base would be greatly improved.
"Of course, why would you charge any fees? Compatriots should help each other."
Wen Xiaoling had no intention of hiding her incompetence, but Su Jin also insisted on paying the corresponding compensation. When Chen Chuyao learned that Su Jin and the others still had food in their space, he directly planned to use the crystal cores to buy food.
"We need a large quantity, Su Jin, please don't be polite. Of course, you can give us a slightly lower price."
As the head of a base, what worries him most now is the food problem of the base. Although the N City Base and the Wei Family in B City have a cooperative relationship and they can buy food from the Wei Family, the current situation is that the food supply is only decreasing and not increasing. He is always worried that one day he will not be able to buy any more.
"Let's go by the price at the S City base, 20 crystal cores per kilogram. Is that okay with that, Mr. Chen?"
Su Jin asked.
20 crystal cores?!
"Is it an ordinary crystal core?"
Wen Xiaoling asked in surprise. She must have heard it right. It was food, right?
"It's an ordinary crystal core."
Lu Hao answered from the side.
Chen Chuyao and his mother couldn't believe that the food sold by the Xinyu team was so cheap, and they already had quite a lot of food in stock in their space.
Chen Chuyao, who originally thought he could only buy a few dozen kilograms, was ecstatic when he learned that Su Jin could sell him supplies worth hundreds of thousands of crystal cores.
"Your supplies..."
Chen Chuyao had already gone out to contact the finance department, and Wen Xiaoling couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Aunt Wen, our Xinyu team has been traveling extensively since the apocalypse. We've collected many warehouses and factories along the way, so naturally we have more supplies. However, this food will eventually expire. It's better to sell it cheaply to those in need, don't you think?"
Su Jin's words were well-reasoned, and Wen Xiaoling felt embarrassed to doubt anything. She had never been out of the base and didn't know the situation outside. Besides, the Xinyu Team was indeed doing good things.
It would be a sin if no one collected those pre-apocalyptic supplies and they were destroyed by zombies or something.
