Xie Sen made a wrong estimate. He cut the potatoes into shreds and only half of them filled a whole plate, so he cut the other half into small cubes and made potato stew.
The potatoes are high-quality products exchanged by the system, and the meat is wild and naturally grown. When the two are stewed together, the aroma is particularly tempting.
Xie Sen swallowed his saliva. He couldn't bear not eating vegetables for so long!
He poked the potatoes and meat with chopsticks to make sure they were cooked through, then scooped them out into two bowls. Just as he finished serving, he heard an argument at the door, so he hurried out.
Maine put his left hand against the door frame and his right hand against the door edge, blocking the entrance. Uncle Xu Da held Maine's left hand with both hands, stretched his neck to look inside the house, and kept sniffing: "Let me go in and take a look, what are you doing? It smells so good!"
The old man saw Xie Sen and waved with his hand: "Xiao Sen, what delicious food are you making?"
Xie Sen was helpless. This old man's nose was too sensitive. He wondered if there was a range hood that didn't emit fragrance.
Maine frowned and said coldly: "Master, let go, I'm going to close the door."
"Let me see what smells so good and I'll let you go," the old man said, looking at Xie Sen with shining eyes, "It's the same as last time. No matter what it is, I'll pay double the price. Sell me half a pound!"
Xie Sen spread his hands: "No more." He had cooked a whole potato into a cooked food.
"You were just cooking in the kitchen. I don't believe you ate it all by yourself. Sell me some!" The old man looked at him expectantly. "You can name your price. I feel bad when I smell the delicious food but can't eat it. I can't rest well for a few days."
Xie Sen looked at Maine. Maine looked very unhappy, but he never used any force on the hand that was holding the door. If he wanted to close the door, it would not be difficult, but he might hurt the old man.
Xie Sen smiled. All the softness and kindness shown by Maine made him feel at ease. He felt that Maine and the villain in the book were completely different people.
He had seen the old man's pestering skills, so he thought for a moment and said, "It's not much, a small bowl for two hundred star coins, okay?"
"Sure, sure!" the old man agreed immediately, holding out his hand to reveal a personal bracelet, "Quick, I'll transfer the money."
"Wait a moment." Xie Sen said, and turned back to the kitchen. He put the remaining potatoes and meat stew in the pot into a fresh-keeping food box, took it out and handed it to the old man, "Please return the food box tomorrow night. We may not be here during the day."
"Okay." The old man kept his eyes on the lunch box, quickly transferred the money, took the lunch box and walked away neatly.
Maine closed the door and turned his head to look at Xie Sen: "What did you do?"
Xie Sen checked the relevant information about vegetables on Brandt Star. There are potatoes here, but the quantity is very small. They are still only sold in the "Rich Supermarket". Like cabbage, there is a weekly limit, but the cabbage is limited to 30 kilograms, and the potatoes are limited to 10, each costing 2,000 star coins.
Ordinary people would never buy potatoes to eat, and even if rich people wanted to buy them, they might not be able to get them because the quantity was too small.
"Meat and potatoes stewed." He did not hide it. You will know after you eat it.
Maine asked in surprise, "How did you get it?"
Xie Sen smiled and said, "Maybe you're lucky. Go take a shower, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Maine looked at him and responded by going to the bedroom to wash up. Xie Sen put Maine's soup bowl on the warming stove and started eating first.
After taking a bite, his eyes narrowed immediately. It was so delicious! Although there were few ingredients, it tasted even better than the ones made with all the ingredients today.
The potatoes are soft, glutinous and fragrant, and the meat is delicious and crispy. Your mouth is full of sweetness when you chew them together. Moreover, the potatoes and meat mixed together are not greasy at all and are delicious.
He was halfway through his meal when Maine came out of the shower. He told Maine where the soup bowl was, and Maine went to get it herself, then sat opposite him and started eating.
He took a bite and paused. Xie Sen looked at the energy 1 prompt in front of him and raised the corner of his mouth: "Is it delicious?"
Maine nodded and continued to eat.
Xie Sen pushed the plate with shredded potatoes in the middle towards him and said, "Try this, it's also very good."
Although the taste of the potatoes has been diluted after being enlarged by two times, the quality of the food exchanged by the system is so good that it is absolutely a delicacy for people who have not eaten vegetables for a long time or have never eaten them.
Maine picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and ate it: "It's delicious."
He didn't say anything else, but ate in silence. Xie Sen drank the last mouthful of soup and slumped back in his chair with satisfaction: "Happy!"
"How much did you spend? I'll transfer half to you." Maine asked while cleaning up the dishes after finishing his meal.
Xie Sen pointed at the house: "Your mentioning that reminds me that I haven't paid you the rent yet!"
Maine said, "No, my rent won't change if you live here."
Xie Sen laughed: "I don't need it either. Cooking every day can be considered as paying the rent. You are still the one losing out."
"One potato can almost pay a month's rent," Maine disagreed, "I'm not losing out."
Xie Sen shrugged: "Anyway, I think I made a profit. Isn't it a win-win situation? No one should talk about giving money to anyone."
Maine looked at him, chuckled and nodded: "Okay."
Maine went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Xie Sen went back to the room to train the pepper tree and potatoes.
At first he could only train them individually, but three hours later, he was able to summon them at the same time and give them orders to fight together.
He had to go to work the next day, so he stopped training at ten o'clock, took a shower and went to bed.
The next day he went to work at the Gold Medal, and after clocking in he went to see Sun Mao: "Manager Sun, I have to participate in the league on the 8th and 9th, and I want to adjust my weekend. Can I adjust next week's weekend to the day after tomorrow?"
Sun Mao glanced at the calendar: "The day after tomorrow? You have to work eight consecutive days after that. Is that okay?"
"Sure." Xie Sen had already looked at the calendar. His working hours were from 8:00 to 5:30, which was very easy. He didn't have anything else to do, so he wouldn't feel tired even after a month.
Sun Mao nodded: "Okay, I've applied for you. Go to the Human Resources Department after work on the 10th to complete the formalities for regularization."
"Thank you, manager!" Xie Sen's eyes lit up instantly. His salary during the internship period was 25 yuan per hour, and it would be 50 yuan per hour after he became a regular employee, with two days off a week and paid work. His monthly salary was 12,000 yuan, which was much better than now.
Xie Sen worked even harder and helped out everywhere. By three o'clock in the afternoon, he had already gained sixteen energies, with a total value of twenty-six.
He looked down to the next blank page, and at the bottom it said 26/200.
This means that it takes two hundred energy points to activate the third plant. If no energy is used, it can be activated in less than half a month at his current accumulation rate.
He was curious about what the third plant would be.
Just as he was thinking, the communication suddenly rang, and Sun Mao's voice was urgent and fast: "Xiao Sen, where are you?"
"I just came out of the large animal bath. What happened?"
"Come to the fourth area of the feeding department quickly." Sun Mao's voice was urgent, and there was chaotic noise nearby.
Xie Sen was stunned. He had spent two days in the feeding department of the male department and had been to areas one to three, but had never been to areas four and five, because there were no contracted beasts in areas four and five.
The contracted beasts raised in areas one to five of the feeding department are of D, C, B, A, and S levels respectively. The number of A and S-level contracted beasts is small, and almost all of them are wild. Areas four and five of the feeding department are non-existent.
Sun Mao asked him to go to Area 4. Is there a new A-level contracted beast?
Xie Sen ran to Area 4. He was very curious about what an A-level contracted beast looked like and how it came about.
He saw four security guards standing at the entrance of Area 4 from a distance. He approached and the security guards carefully checked his ID. After confirming that it was correct, they reminded him, "Hurry up and go in."
The moment the door opened, the roar of a huge wild beast rushed into my ears, accompanied by the shouting and yelling of people.
Xie Sen was stunned for a moment, and someone pushed him from behind. He stumbled inside, and the next moment, the door closed tightly behind him, blocking out all the sounds in Area 4.
He stood firm and looked inside, as if he had arrived at an indoor football field, a space formed by a large grassy area covered by a huge curved cover.
The top of the hood is transparent, and sunlight shines in, just like being outdoors.
On the grass not far away, a giant lion about three meters tall was surrounded by four contracted beasts over two meters tall. The atmosphere was stagnant, and each beast was roaring as if warning, as if they were about to fight in the next second.
There was a person standing next to each contracted beast, shouting something loudly.
Xie Sen's heart beat faster involuntarily. These people were too brave. These beasts could easily trample them to death with just a kick.
"Xiao Sen, come here quickly!" Sun Mao was extremely anxious. If a fight really broke out, there would definitely be heavy losses. He kept looking at the door, and when he saw Xie Sen, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and waved at him.
Xie Sen had no choice but to walk over there carefully, and stopped three meters away from Sun Mao: "Manager Sun, this... is it too dangerous?"
"Come and comfort the giant lion beast. It is injured."
Giant lion beast? Xie Sen was stunned and looked at the giant lion. It was almost an enlarged version of the lion he had seen before. The golden hair on its neck was stained with a lot of blood and drooped down, revealing the hideous wound on its back.
"How did it get injured?" Xie Sen couldn't help but ask. It looked so strong.
"He got into a fight with two giant eagle beasts, and was found and brought back by our search team."
Xie Sen glanced at Sun Mao, then at the unfriendly look on the giant lion beast, and knew in his heart that it was definitely not a simple "lead".
"It doesn't seem very satisfied." Xie Sen said tactfully.
Sun Mao shrugged helplessly: "Unless a high-level contracted beast meets a beast master with a particularly high synchronization rate, it is difficult for it to surrender. It would rather stay free in the wild. It's okay, calm it down first, we will find someone to form a contract with it as soon as possible, and everything will be fine after the contract is formed."
Xie Sen frowned: "What if he doesn't want to?"
"As long as the synchronization rate reaches 50%, there is a way," Sun Mao said. The giant lion beast suddenly roared even louder and scratched the ground with its front paws. Sun Mao hurriedly said, "Quickly calm it down."
Xie Sen took a step forward and was frightened by the huge pressure of the giant lion beast: "I'm scared!"
Sun Mao had no choice but to walk over to him and pull his arm to lead him to the giant lion beast: "The higher the level of the contracted beast, the higher the IQ. If we don't take action, they won't easily hurt humans."
Xie Sen was brought to the front feet of the giant lion beast tremblingly. The giant lion beast lowered its head and made a warning sound from its throat.
Xie Sen's legs went weak, and he reached out to touch its front legs, trying his best to be friendly, with only good intentions in his mind.
The giant lion beast turned its head and after a while, it retreated to the front of Xie Sen, then looked down at him. It was too tall, and even with its head down, it was still taller than Xie Sen.
Xie Sen tiptoed and reached out to touch its neck gently: "I'll treat your wound."
The giant lion beast tilted its head and rubbed his hand with its chin, as obedient as a cat.
Sun Mao said happily, "I'll have someone prepare the medicine right away." He glanced at Xie Sen's posture and added, "By the way, have them send a stool over for you to stand on."
Xie Sen's mouth twitched. The tiptoeing posture was a little tiring. He retracted his hand, and just as he retracted it, the giant lion beast turned its head and rubbed against him. He simply stood close to the giant lion beast. As long as there was contact, the natural breath on his body would make the animal feel comfortable.
Sure enough, the giant lion beast calmed down and lay down with its chin resting on its paws.
Xie Sen rubbed the mane on the side of its neck, opened the bracelet and sent a message to Maine: "Come to the Gold Medal quickly, there is a new giant lion beast coming today, contact me when it arrives."
The people arranged by Sun Mao quickly brought medicine and stools, but the giant lion beast lay down and the stool was useless.
Xie Sen turned up the volume of the communication to the maximum in order not to miss Maine's communication.
He carefully cleaned the giant lion beast's wound. As he was cleaning, he heard Sun Mao's communication ring, and then heard Sun Mao say: "Please ask them to come over."
Xie Sen quickly turned his head and asked, "Who's here?"
"The young master of the Kes family is the owner of the giant lion beast." Sun Mao said.
