Chapter 145 Eating Meat



There's no need to go anywhere else, let's just rest here.

Yu Yanbin cleaned up all the flowers and plants inside and outside the yard. Because of the orange tree, there were no other plants in the yard.

There were only some weeds and wildflowers outside the courtyard near the roadside.

That's good, it saves a lot of trouble by eliminating the need for extensive cleaning.

Cheng Shaolin went back in and burned every nook and cranny of the yard to make sure there was no possibility of any other mutated plants before he stopped.

The house had been without light for a long time, and in some places, it had become rotten and had grown mold and mushrooms.

Black spots have appeared on the walls, here and there, and there is an unpleasant smell in the room.

Cheng Shaolin used a fireball to circle around the house, but the situation did not improve.

"Let's just have lunch here. It's been too long, and everything's already spoiled," Cheng Shaolin said in a heavy tone.

No one said anything more; could anyone not see it in this state?

Mushrooms are even growing on the walls, what else can be said?

In the end, they broke through the window to let the sunlight in.

Outside, it was scorching hot, but inside the house, it was dilapidated due to lack of sunlight.

That's strange, isn't it?

They only broke through one window, but thankfully it wasn't too hot.

Xiao Peng used his supernatural powers to cover the walls to prevent the mold stains from being an eyesore.

With the air circulating a bit, the smell lessened considerably, and I could finally breathe freely again.

"Ugh, I'm suffocating! It smells awful!" Tian Tian pouted and took a couple of deep breaths.

"The house hasn't seen any sunlight for a long time and has been closed off for so long, how could it smell good?" Li Xiao found Tian Tian's expression quite amusing.

Tian Tian pouted, "All the houses are broken, and there's nothing left."

"This is alright. Didn't you just say that rose bush was pretty? That one is even scarier, do you believe me?" Li Xiao teased her.

Tian Tian opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Xiao, "Really?"

"Yes, definitely. Think about it, this place only blocks out the sunlight, but that place is completely enclosed, there's no sunlight at all, it's all dark. Don't you think so?"

Tian Tian rolled her eyes, then suddenly opened them wide.

"Oh, yes."

"Xiaoxiao, then tell me, doesn't that mean there isn't a single usable one here?"

"Well, I guess so."

Tian Tian was disappointed. "Then we won't be able to find anything at all."

Li Xiao could only nod, "Mm."

"Oh dear, then we didn't get anything out of it." Tian Tian looked unhappy.

"That's the situation here. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the items. It's just a training exercise for your special abilities," Yu Yanbin reassured everyone.

Li Xiao took out a small table, put the two together, and the two-meter-long table was set up.

Take out the cold seaweed salad, braised eggplant, braised chicken with potatoes, and tomato and egg soup.

Each dish was served in a large basin, along with a basin of steamed buns and a bucket of mung bean soup.

Lunch was plentiful and plentiful.

Tian Tian filled a wooden basin with water for everyone to wash their hands and faces.

Set out the benches, bowls, and chopsticks, and wait for everyone to sit down and eat.

After tidying themselves up, they all sat down at the table, picked up steamed buns, and started eating.

My current life is something I never dared to imagine before.

Who would have thought that I could eat my fill every day, with meat to eat too?

"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to eat meat every meal. Just be frugal and have some oily food every few days," Xiao Peng said, looking down at the bowl of meat and vegetables on the table.

Everyone else's hands paused for a moment, and then their movements gradually slowed down.

Li Xiao looked at everyone and then smiled. "Is that what you all think?"

To everyone's surprise, they all nodded.

Li Xiao understood that everyone was afraid of running out of food, and now the meat was implying that it was so easy to get.

Even if it's pickled, it might not survive such a long time at such a high temperature.

The temperature is almost 60 degrees Celsius now, and everything can be dried in the sun. Under such high temperatures, many things cannot be preserved.

"Okay, then let's eat less meat." Li Xiao could understand everyone's feelings; they all wanted to have more opportunities to eat meat, and for a longer period of time.

It's all gone so quickly now; I'll feel terrible if we don't have any more later.

"Yes, that way we can eat for a little longer." A happy smile appeared on Xiao Peng's honest face.

Li Xiao lowered her eyes, concealing her emotions.

In his own space, the livestock have multiplied a lot, such as chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, which have accumulated to several thousand.

There are several hundred chickens, ducks, and geese in total.

There are also pigs, which reproduce slowly, and there are only about twenty of them. This is after she initially bought only a few.

There are fewer cows and sheep; there are only six cows. There are more sheep; there are eighteen.

The fastest breed is the rabbits; they reproduce very quickly, and now there are several hundred of them. Back then, I only bought a pair of breeding rabbits.

She was overjoyed when she found out she could raise them.

They went to someone's rural village and bought these livestock from a farmer. They specially fenced off a place for them to live, and now the results are obvious.

It's just that it can't be exposed to the light of day, and there's nothing Li Xiao can do about that. For the time being, it's something that absolutely cannot be known to anyone.

There are also freshwater ponds and small oceans in the area, where fish, crabs, shrimp and the like have multiplied so much that if we don't eat them soon, the ponds might overflow.

This was what gave Li Xiao a headache. There was nowhere to put them, so in the end, she could only pick out the big ones and freeze them all.

Fortunately, she had stockpiled gasoline and diesel, and her household generator was still usable in the room; otherwise, she really would have been in trouble.

Li Xiao checks her space every day to organize her supplies. She clears out anything that can be eaten or used immediately for later use. Items that aren't needed immediately are left for later.

Seeing that she couldn't take out all the food and drinks in her space, Li Xiao was also anxious.

But no matter how anxious you are, it's no use. If something can't be moved, it can't be moved, and that's no small problem.

Let's not make trouble for ourselves; we have a long life ahead of us.

There's also a lot of dried goods stored in the space. This can be taken out and eaten now. Li Xiaoxian will use this to cook.

Li Xiao is not stingy at all when it comes to people she respects.

In the harsh post-apocalyptic world, being able to eat and drink your fill is already the best you can hope for.

Li Xiao just wanted all her friends who had shared joys and sorrows with her to be able to fill their stomachs and no longer worry about their next meal.

This is something she can do.

People don't have many requirements for food now, as long as they can eat their fill.

At this point, being able to eat one's fill would be the greatest happiness. Everyone understood that being able to eat meat was something they dared not even dream of.

Giving them a little meat every few days is fine. That way, they won't become picky eaters.

This was also Xiao Peng's idea. He was afraid that if people got used to eating meat every day, and then the meat ran out, the habit would be formed and it would be very difficult to change.

It's best to keep things simple and ordinary, with the occasional indulgence in meat; this will be more beneficial for their future lives.
