After sending Feng Wei away, Qian Yu went to Zuo Ling's house, where Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng were having dinner.

As soon as you enter the yard, the tempting smell of fish hits you.

"Sister Zuo, let's eat."

When Qian Yu encounters someone else’s family for dinner, he turns around and leaves, but to Zuo Jie’s house… he must not leave!

Everyone knows that Sister Zuo is a wealthy woman, and the contribution value she receives as a reward from the base is enough for an ordinary person to earn in several years.

Apart from anything else, Sister Zuo’s small vegetable garden is very valuable.

If you don't eat the food provided by a rich family, it would be a waste. If you don't take advantage of it, it would be a waste.

"Captain Qian is here, let's eat something together."

Pei Nansheng got up and went to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

"This... this is so embarrassing."

He said sorry but his eyes were fixed on the food on the table.

Braised fish, cold cucumber salad, stir-fried lettuce, stewed potatoes with beans, vegetable dumplings, and a big pot of fragrant fish soup.

The dishes are dishes, the rice is rice, nothing mixed in.

It takes so much oil to make braised fish!

The oil in the service center is sold at 10 contribution points for a small bottle, and the bottle is so small that it is almost as big as a medicine bottle.

Qian Yu clicked his tongue. Who would dare to eat like this now? Not even the leader’s family. Only Sister Zuo’s family would dare to do this.

The harvest from the plantation is better than before. As the captain of the planting company, I can only eat a few more cucumbers and tomatoes than others, and I dare not take anything else.

Taking a quick glance at the small vegetable garden outside the door, I realized that comparing myself with others is really frustrating.

Qian Yu must have been even more angry if he knew that Zuo Ling had just put away a large plate of cured meat before he entered the room.

After returning to the base, Zuo Ling's family became much more careful about food. They didn't dare to eat too well during the day, just to prevent uninvited guests like Qian Yu.

If you want to eat good food, you have to wait until closing time at night.

The food that made her feel light in the stomach was still appetizing in Qian Yu's eyes.

He poured a bowl of fish soup for Qian Yu and handed him a vegetable pot: "Have something to eat."

This is so casual! Sister Zuo really doesn't know the suffering of the people.

Qian Yu stuffed the food into his mouth in big mouthfuls while crying silently in his heart.

"Try the braised fish. We just caught it today. We haven't eaten river fish in a long time. It tastes pretty good."

"Uh-huh."

Qian Yu was so busy eating that he had no time to talk and even forgot what he was doing.

Sister Zuo hadn't eaten river fish for a long time. It was a common meal in Sister Zuo's family, and he hadn't eaten it for many years.

Seeing him eating so sweetly, Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng couldn't help but think of Xiao Hao who had suffered in the guard regiment.

Xiao Hao had been hungry before and was most afraid of not having enough food to eat. Zuo Ling did not hesitate to use his supernatural powers to shorten the growing period of crops just so that Xiao Hao could have a full meal earlier.

If Xiao Hao had not joined the army, Zuo Ling would at most increase the use of spatial water and improve crop yields, but would never waste her supernatural powers to force growth. Her awareness is not that high yet.

No one expected that they would benefit from Xiao Hao alone.

Qian Yu filled himself half full, then he noticed that Zuo Ling and Pei Nansheng had put down their chopsticks and were just watching him eat.

He wiped his mouth embarrassedly: "Hey, hey, the food at Sister Zuo's house is so fragrant and delicious."

"It's delicious. Eat more."

Zuo Ling served Qian Yu another bowl of fish soup and pushed the plate of vegetable dumplings towards him.

There was not much food cooked, just enough for two people. A big eater who was always hungry came, so the brother and sister had to eat with Qian Yu first.

Qian Yu was not polite either. He Guiqi came to Zuo Ling's house every now and then to eat for free, which made him very envious. It was not easy to get a chance to eat, so of course he had to get the most out of it.

"Sister Zuo, did you encounter any problems while catching the chicks today?"

The brother and sister looked at each other and said, "Come on, we've been waiting for you."

"Someone was trying to steal the chicks. Guns were fired. We left early. I didn't see what happened in the end."

Many people saw that they were in conflict with each other, and it couldn't be covered up.

But admit it... hehe.

If you catch a thief, you seize the stolen goods; if you catch an adulterer, you seize both of them. You didn't hold my hand, and I didn't admit it, so what can you do to me?

Qian Yu smiled and said, "Good answer. Next time anyone asks me this question, I'll answer it the same way."

"Ah, it's a mess outside, you should go out less in the future."

Just stop there. For some things, it's better for you and me to know them than to break the window paper.

Zuo Ling’s superpowers can save many people, but the one who died... died in vain.

It is such a simple truth, even a child would make the right choice, let alone the old foxes in the base.

Is this... passed?

Zuo Ling thought Qian Yu was sent by Chief Mei or Major General Zhao to threaten her.

But the two old guys didn't pay any attention to such trivial matters, and Qian Yu took the initiative to sell it.

The work on the plantation was on track, and Zuo Ling began to consider his own safety.

What happened on the island appears in my dreams from time to time. The mysterious and strange patterns make my scalp tingle just thinking about them.

After discussing with Pei Nansheng, he planned to go out to sea to get some sea snakes and extract their venom.

"The situation at sea is complicated. We live on the sea. Fishermen know where sea snakes are worse than us. We might as well offer a high reward."

Pei Nansheng put up a banner at the flea market offering 30 kilograms of compressed biscuits for 1 kilogram of snake venom, and the buyers would take as many as they could.

30 catties of compressed biscuits for 1 catties of snake venom? How much more do you have?

When food was so scarce, someone actually took out so many compressed biscuits to exchange for snake venom. Everyone was shocked and asked whether the news was true or not.

"Of course it's true. However, I have a request. You have to extract the snake venom in front of me."

Snake venom is mostly yellow, some are light yellow, some are green, and the rarest is colorless.

When taking the poison in person, one is naturally afraid of being tampered with. Losing a few compressed biscuits is nothing, it will not have any effect and may cost someone's life.

This one rule alone keeps out many people who want to risk their lives.

Poisonous snakes are difficult to catch, and bringing them back from thousands of miles away is even more difficult, but there are also those who are not afraid of death.

"Brother, this is a life-and-death business. It's not easy to handle poisonous snakes. If we don't handle it well, our lives will be at stake. Can you add a little more?"

The person asking the questions was a skinny, dark-skinned man who looked like someone who had been living on the sea for many years.

There were 7 or 8 other people with him.

Pei Nansheng had been around the flea market for some time and had seen them selling seafood in the market.

“How much do you want to add?”

The man frowned and thought for a moment: "60, 60 kilograms of compressed biscuits for one kilogram of snake venom."

After some bargaining, they finally agreed to exchange 45 kilograms of compressed biscuits for one kilogram of snake venom.

"Brother, do you have enough compressed biscuits? Don't ask us to bring them back for you. If you don't have enough, it will not look good."

The man often hangs out at flea markets. Compressed biscuits are in short supply and no one would take them out to trade.

So many were taken out at once, and there was not even one left. Suddenly one appeared, and the man was at a loss.

Pei Nansheng had seen him, and he had also seen Pei Nansheng, but he had never seen Pei Nansheng trade food, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Pei Nansheng lifted the cloth cover on the tricycle, revealing two boxes of compressed biscuits.

He took out two pieces, weighed them, and said:

"You have it now, so you can exchange it now."

The onlookers stared at the compressed biscuits, unable to take their eyes away.

The man's eyes narrowed, he reached out to take out a piece, put it to his nose and sniffed it.

The compressed biscuits are well packaged, and you can't smell them, but when you hold them in your hand, they feel quite heavy, and they are indeed the real thing.

"You have only 10 jin here. We are talking about 45 jin for 1 jin."

The man was still a little worried.

"I can't move all my belongings here. I'm afraid I'll get robbed. If you're worried, you can ask around. I live on the plantation, my sister Zuo Ling works on the plantation, and my brother Pei Hao is in the Guards Regiment, guarding Chief Mei."

Pei Nansheng felt very aggrieved when he said this. He had been struggling for most of his life and now had to rely on the face of his younger brothers and sisters to make a living.

Speaking of Pei Hao, few people know him.

The news that there was a person named Zuo Ling in the plantation, who was said to be a person with supernatural powers, spread within a certain area.

The man's eyes lit up. He actually knew the name Zuo Ling.

Pei Nansheng already thought he had a good appearance, and now looking at him again, he immediately felt that he was even more handsome.

"So it's Brother Pei. I've heard of your great name for a long time, but never knew your true face. I'm so sorry, so sorry."

Pei Nansheng was not sure whether to laugh or cry after brushing his sister's face successfully.

Be happy... Oh, he is so upset!

The news that Pei Nansheng offered a high reward at the flea market reached Chief Mei's ears.

Ask Xiao Hao: "Why does your brother need so much snake venom?"

Xiao Hao recounted what happened on the island.

Chief Mei frowned upon hearing this. Weird pictures and text? Vines sucking blood? No remains left?

He is a member of the Mei family and has heard a lot about people with supernatural powers, but he has never heard of any strange pictures and texts. What kind of method is that?

With a half-smile, he said:

"You have quite a lot of stock at home. 45 kilograms of compressed biscuits for 1 kilogram of snake venom. According to you, without 5 or 6 kilograms of snake venom, you can't deal with that thing."

Xiao Hao shuddered, but said calmly:

"Before coming to the base, we fought with the mercenaries, robbed their lair, and got some food."

That’s what my sister said last time, a ready-made explanation.

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes."

Xiao Hao blinked his big eyes, as if asking, "Otherwise, where do you say it came from?"

Commander Mei was upset and waved his hand, telling him to get out.
