Chapter 199
Mutant vegetables
After Fang Xin entered the room, he found a small table and sat down. There were two tables in the room, one big and one small.
The food was served soon.
The first one to come was Xiaowu, who was holding a large basin filled with white rice. He bared his teeth and came in, "Big sister, it's time to eat, hehe."
"Thanks to Big Sister, we had a good meal today."
People behind came in one after another, some carrying basins, some holding bowls and chopsticks.
The dog followed behind, wagging its tail.
He stuck out his tongue and leaned over to Fang Xin's feet.
Have fun.
Tired.
It also needs to eat.
Soon, the room became lively.
Xiao Wu picked up a big spoon and started to serve rice. He first served a big bowl to Fang Xin and pressed it down with the rice spoon.
After serving, he placed it in front of her.
She was really shocked. It was too much. Although she could eat it, who could take so much at once? If it wasn't enough, she could just add more. Besides, with such a large bowl, where would she start eating?
"You gave me too much, Xiaowu."
Xiao Wu showed his two big front teeth and grinned, "Big sister, eat more."
Before Fang Xin could speak again, Xiao Kai reached out his big hand and patted Xiao Wu on the head, "You took so much, how are you going to eat it? Give some back."
Xiao Wu, who was beaten, was not angry. He touched his head and said, "Oh, I didn't think too much. I just wanted my sister to eat more."
Xiaowu quickly pushed the high tip of the rice back a little before putting it back again.
Soon the food was served and arranged.
A plate of beef stewed with radish, with some carrots in it, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
Even the dog had a big bowl, and no one felt reluctant to give it up. After all, if Fang Xin hadn't sent them food, they wouldn't have had anything to eat. She was also very generous to her dog.
But Fang Xin couldn't let his dog always eat other people's food. They didn't have much food to begin with, and adding another dog would consume a lot, and dogs eat a lot.
Let the dog eat its own food starting tomorrow.
Although the food on the table was not rich, it was already quite luxurious in this end times.
Fang Xin and Xiao Kai sat at the small table, and the rest of the people sat at the big table nearby.
At this time, Xiaowu blinked his eyes and ran over with his bowl in hand, "Hey, I'll come over and sit at the table with Big Sister."
Fang Xin ignored him.
Instead, his attention was drawn to the vegetables on the table. Looking at the vegetables on the table, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Where did these vegetables come from?"
"This one, this one was picked from the back mountain." Xiao Wu was a cheerful and talkative person. When he heard Fang Xin's question, he immediately answered enthusiastically.
"Back Mountain"
Xiao Kai nodded. "It looks like a mutant vegetable. There are only two of them."
“I didn’t transplant it back to see if I could plant it.”
"I dug up two of them, but they died within two days of being planted. They wouldn't survive. There were originally four of them, but now there are only two left. I didn't dare to move them anymore."
Fang Xin understood that if the plants could not survive, there was no way to plant them on a large scale.
"Okay, let's pick up our chopsticks and try our specialties." Xiao Kai said as he picked up a piece of food for Fang Xin with his chopsticks.
Fang Xin picked up the vegetables with chopsticks and put them into his mouth. They tasted good, with a crispy and sweet texture.
She nodded slightly. "Not bad."
Seeing Fang Xin picking up his chopsticks, everyone finally couldn't wait to start eating too.
For a moment, the table was bustling with laughter and joy.
Everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal. No matter the rice in the bowl or the vegetables on the plate, they were all eaten up, and not even a bit of soup was left.
After dinner, Xiao Kai chatted with Fang Xinxian while the others cleared the table and cleaned the place.
"Is Xiaowu just Xiaowu?"
"No, he is the fifth child. The one with the square face is the eldest, he is 35 this year, that one is the second and third child," Xiao Kai said, pointing to Fang Xin, "the little girl in gray clothes is 21 this year, she is the youngest, she is the eleventh child."
Fang Xin nodded. It turned out that the ranking was based on age.
"Aren't you the youngest here?"
Xiao Wu then interrupted and said, "Although Brother Kai is the youngest, he is the most powerful, so he is our well-deserved big brother."
Xiao Kai felt embarrassed, raised his hand, clenched his fist and covered his lips with a cough, "It's OK, but not as good as my sister."
"So Brother Kai's eldest sister is our eldest sister, hehe." Xiao Wu said while baring his teeth while sweeping the floor with a broom.
"Okay, pack up and go back to bed. We have a mission tomorrow."
Fang Xin asked in confusion, "What mission?"
"Go out and catch mutants."
“Catch it and eat it?”
"You can keep it for food. You can also use the mutant meat to exchange for some supplies."
"The supplies we have now are enough to last for a few days. We plan to buy more supplies and store them."
Fang Xin nodded, thinking that it would always help to stock up on some supplies.
"Sister, please stay here for a few more days this time."
"I'll go out and get some supplies for you tomorrow. I won't be back tomorrow for the time being."
"Then I'll get two people to help you."
"No need, there are people helping over there, you guys just do your own thing." Fang Xin naturally couldn't ask others to follow her, otherwise they wouldn't be able to cheat at all.
"That's fine."
The two chatted for a while, and then Fang Xin got up and went back to his room to rest.
Although it was not hotter underground than outside, it was still a bit hot at around 30 degrees, so Fang Xin placed an ice basin in the house to cool down.
Gouzi squatted on the ground and poked Fang Xin's calf with his mouth.
I didn’t eat well at night, so I wanted to light a stove here.
So Fang Xin took out some energy-rich food and filled a bowl for it.
When the dog saw the extra food, he lowered his head and started eating.
She didn't eat well in the evening, so she took out a big apple from the storage space and started to eat it. When she didn't finish the other one, she took out a plate of halved chicken feet and started to eat it.
The man and the dog finally had enough to eat and drink.
I took out the air freshener and sprayed it into the air a few times, then went into the room to wash and dry myself, and finally went to bed.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, everyone had breakfast early and went out early to do their tasks.
When Fang Xin got up in the morning, there were only a few people left in the base. The rest should have gone out to perform tasks.
Seeing Fang Xin had gotten up, Xiao Shiyi ran over and said, "Sister, you're awake. The rice is hot in the pot. Do you want to eat now?"
"Well, I can do it myself, you go ahead and do your work."
Fang Xin planned to feed the dog first. She walked to the car and prepared to take out the dog's food.
Pour out some dog food, add some dried meat, and then pour in some goat milk powder, done.
She carried the dog bowl and walked to the kitchen with the dog in her arms, and Xiao Shiyi followed closely behind.
Her breakfast consisted of rice porridge and a plate of cold mixed vegetables. It was the lightest meal she had had in years.
It really had no taste at all. Her face twitched while eating it. She only ate a small bowl and then put it down.
It's not that I don't want to treat her with good things, but the condition is this. At this time, it's a good day for anyone to have a bowl of porridge.
Seeing that Fang Xin had only eaten a little, Xiao Shiyi said nervously, "Big sister, please eat a little more. You won't feel hungry after eating so little."
"I have no appetite. I won't eat anymore."
Seeing that Fang Xin really didn't want to eat, Xiao Shiyi went forward to clean up and scooped out all the porridge in the pot, not wasting a single grain of rice. He carefully placed the food on the ground in the kitchen outside as it would easily go bad in the hot weather.
Then she went back to the kitchen and saw that there was still some rice porridge left in Fang Xin's bowl. She picked up the bowl and carefully shoveled the remaining rice porridge into her mouth.
Finally, wash the dishes.
