Shen Qian had prepared breakfast early in the morning. She figured that apart from her, no one else in the house was very good at cooking. Oh well, she would just eat, drink, and live here for free.
Cooking isn't difficult; it's like having a job. Besides, she doesn't want to neglect her stomach.
When Ye Shang came downstairs and saw the breakfast on the table, he said, "Thank you, please feel free to eat whatever you like. You don't need to go to so much trouble next time."
There were quite a lot of samples, including shumai, steamed buns, noodles, and vegetable porridge.
Soy milk and cow's milk are also available.
This kind of breakfast, let alone in the post-apocalyptic world, would be considered quite varied even in an ordinary modern family.
Shen Qian brought out the last dish of side dishes and said cheerfully, "It's okay, and these are all ingredients from the small storeroom. I ate so much, and you didn't say anything, did you?"
She has a large appetite and eats a lot. With the meager rations she earns, she can only afford one meal a day, and even then, she might not be full.
That was money she earned through hard work and going out to work. Compared to other people, she had to save up for food and couldn't eat her fill.
Being a cook here is a really wonderful job.
Chen Zui and Xiao Jing came out of the room at almost the same time; they both came out after hearing noises outside.
Ye Shang sat down, picked up a cup of hot milk, placed it in the bowl in front of Qing Li, and said to Shen Qian, "Let's eat together."
Shen Qian responded crisply, "Okay."
She took off her apron and hung it in the kitchen, then sat down and took a large steamed bun and a large bowl of porridge.
Qingli took a sip of milk and said, "I haven't touched the food I left last night. I'll use it to make lunch later. It'll be ready to eat after I heat it up."
Shen Qian waved her hand and shook her head, swallowing the food in her mouth: "No need, no need, I'll make you something fresh."
Qingli smiled gently: "No need for that, this will do."
In the past, during missions, he once ate only compressed biscuits for a month. When there were many people, if he took out other food to eat, there would definitely not be enough for everyone. At that time, it was better to share with his teammates.
afternoon.
While Ye Shang was participating in the training with the other ability users, He Shengyou came over a short while later and said, "Captain Ye, there are a few people outside looking for you."
Ye Shang asked in confusion, "Why didn't you just bring them in directly? Why did you have to notify me first?"
He Shengyou said, "Those people said they brought something important and asked you to pick them up."
Ye Shang then remembered Meng Qiulan's matter from a couple of days ago, and simply said, "Tell them, they can come in or not, but if they do, take them to the conference room."
He Shengyou nodded, "Okay, Captain Ye."
After saying that, he turned and left.
A short while later, he led Meng Qiulan and the others into another, slightly smaller conference room in the new building in the South District.
Not many people came, and even if the other families wanted to send people, they couldn't. Without a legitimate reason, the Liang and Meng families wouldn't agree to let them leave together.
Ye Shang was already sitting there, drinking a bottle of water. When he saw people come in, he didn't get up. Instead, he calmly said only one word: "Sit."
Meng Qiulan and Liang You were fairly familiar with each other, but she was too embarrassed to sit down right away. Instead, she asked her brothers to sit down first.
Meng Zongzhe's expression had been rather unpleasant, and he sat down without saying a word.
Meng Zongping was the same; he looked at Ye Shang with a scrutinizing gaze.
Liang You's side only had one elder brother who came out. According to the order of seniority, he waited until this elder brother sat down before sitting down himself.
He adjusted his glasses and placed all the energy stones he had brought out onto the long conference table.
"This is the amount of energy stones this Liang family has, Captain Ye, you can check it."
Although Shen Qian, who was sitting to Ye Shang's right, was initially puzzled about why she had been summoned here, now that she saw these reclusive disciples, she felt that she had some guesses.
Ye Shang gave a soft "hmm" and raised his chin slightly: "Let me check it out."
Shen Qian took on the role of the money-counting girl without hesitation, and since there was no one else around, she sat to the side with Ye Shang.
After bringing the person in, He Shengyou left.
Shen Qian brought over the bag that Liang You had placed on the table, counted it, and while she was counting, the room was almost completely silent.
Almost everyone's eyes were drawn to her hands as she counted the energy stones.
Shen Qian, on the other hand, remained calm and composed. She had never cared much about the opinions of others and focused on doing her own thing.
Suddenly, Liang You's elder brother, Liang Wenbo, said, "Captain Ye is a manager at the base and also a top-tier superpowered individual. Could you suggest a long-term cooperation path?"
Liang Wenbo looks somewhat like Liang You, but not quite. What they have in common is that they both wear glasses and look very wise. Perhaps because he doesn't go out much, his skin is much fairer than Liang You's.
Her skin was even a little sickly pale, and you could clearly see the small mole on her wrist. She wore a simple watch on her wrist, and the second hand on it kept turning.
Ye Shang looked at the man and asked, "What do you want to trade?"
Liang Wenbo placed his hands on the conference table, clasped them together, and said, "Mutant crystal cores, zombie core stones, or other things are all available for trade."
These items also include the daily necessities they used to buy from the real world before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, although they were still able to live quite well, the supply from the real world was cut off, which made things a bit inconvenient for them.
Ye Shang's expression didn't change much, making it difficult for those present to discern her intentions. Even in the face of these reclusive individuals, she remained calm and composed, a rare sight even before the apocalypse.
It's not that they're bragging, but they've been cultivating mystical arts since childhood, and they unconsciously possess a certain aura. Almost everyone is like that.
Within the clan, everyone is trained and grows up together from a young age, and they are all used to this change. Suddenly going to the outside world, many people will feel uncomfortable. People in the real world can't quite put their finger on what's wrong, but they will subconsciously lower their heads even when they look them in the eye.
Even the guard who had brought them in earlier subconsciously ignored their eyes and didn't look at them.
But Ye Shang seems unaffected, which is strange.
"Regarding the item trading channel, you can draw up a set of rules. As for other crystal cores, they are not suitable for long-term trading," Ye Shang said calmly.
Liang Wenbo asked, "Why?"
Ye Shang scoffed: "You think mutated plants and animals are so easy to come by?"
Over the years, I've only encountered them more often at sea, but that's at least in the waters of Southeast Asia. In other regions, there might be even more.
But she doesn't use them much, and she's not currently short of energy stones, so it's impossible for her to hunt mutated plants and animals for them.
Liang Wenbo fell silent; what he said was true.
