"This talisman is quite good!" A certain Taoist priest said with a humble smile, "I wonder if we can discuss it a little more?"
Zhou Yan looked at the Taoist priest and said politely, "Sorry, Taoist priest, our Xiaoyu can't speak."
Taoist Priest: Ah?
Wang Cheng spoke quickly: "He is a mute."
Zhou Yan: ...
Lei Xiangqian was sweating profusely. He dragged his tattered clothes and squeezed between Wang Cheng and Zhou Yan and said, "He is just an idiot and can't speak. Young Master Zhou, please be magnanimous and don't bother with him." Besides, it's not like the one in your family can't really speak.

For breakfast, Xiao Yu ate wontons stuffed with meat, shrimp, and cabbage that he had made himself. The wonton soup was leftover bone broth from the main kitchen the previous night. Xiao Yu also added seaweed and dried shrimp.
In order not to cause trouble to the canteen, which was short of rations, the two of them had a filling breakfast with wontons. After returning home, Xiao Yu hid in the space and made leavened dough and pot cakes.
"Brother, I put glutinous rice flour, you try it. It's soft and chewy!" The white flour glutinous rice pancakes just out of the pan are fried in oil and smell so good that it makes people drool.
Paired with the soy milk made on board, it is simply delicious.
The pancakes were really fragrant, and when paired with soy milk with sugar, Zhou Yan couldn't stop eating them.
"Let's just have one, otherwise I won't be able to eat lunch." Zhou Yan said with a hint of satisfaction. In fact, even if he had two more pancakes, he could still have three bowls of rice in the cafeteria at noon.
The problem was that the pancakes made by Xiaoyu smelled so good that he was afraid they would attract the hungry wolf.

Xiao Yu knew Zhou Yan very well. This man was cautious in his actions, and he was also too "sensible" and didn't like to take advantage of others.
"How about we help them fish this afternoon?"
Zhou Yan shook his head: "I don't want you to be tired."
"Let's use chili sauce to make fish hot pot. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to eat the meat provided by others!" Xiao Yu only realized on board that the entire fleet was in a food shortage. They ate food provided by the Ability Bureau, but the rations provided by the Ability Bureau were very small.
Lei Xiangqian had told them that food was becoming scarce throughout the country, and if they didn't have enough to eat, they would rely on seafood.
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, after lunch this afternoon, I'll go to the cafeteria and see if I can borrow anything. If not, we'll just use our own."
When they boarded the ship, they brought two boxes with them, and the things inside had all been brought across the clear path.

In fact, relying on the food in the space, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yan could be fully fed, especially Zhou Yan. The problem was that it was not good to be too blatant.
So, after a few bowls of vegetable soup (others had sea fish soup) and two steamed buns at noon, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yan went fishing and casting nets on the deck in the afternoon.
The tools were naturally provided by the Navy.
There was too little food, and these two were not regular soldiers, so no one on the ship cared about them.
Soon, the deck was filled with the smell of grilled squid and stewed fish.
Lei Xiangqian strolled onto the deck with his bowl. Seeing that the fish in the pot was cooked, he scooped out a bowl without saying a word: "It tastes as good as always!" While eating, his mouth was still busy, "Aren't you afraid of catching something you can't catch?"
Xiao Yu said with a half-smile, "Do you think those things can survive my brother's flames?"
Lei Xiangqian suddenly felt a little pain in his body. He looked at the deck not far away and ate even faster.
Xiao Yu leaned over the squid, grilled it, handed it to Zhou Yan to cut into pieces, and then started eating.
Lei Xiangqian also took a piece and nodded, "Not bad, not bad! It's so delicious. Even if I'm allergic to seafood, this won't make me allergic!"
Xiao Yu smiled: "Don't eat it all for me, I'm trying to exchange it for meat."
Lei waved his chopsticks forward and said, "That's all I can eat. When I'm done, I'll help you fish."
