Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 374 Daily Wasteland Collection (2)

The sun had not yet set when she got home. Song Ling carried the wild vegetables she had collected and washed and dried them, trying to store more food during this time for use during the hot rainy season.

The rain in the hot rainy season is different from the rain in the mild season. That rain is not only heavy but also has a mutation value. If people, animals and plants are contaminated with too much rain in the hot rainy season, uncontrollable mutations will occur.

So, just like the cold season, the hot and rainy season is the default time when they cannot go out to collect food. Then the five months of mild season in a year is the time for them to stock up on food. If they don’t stock up enough, they will have to go hungry.

Shen Yao's body has experienced the feeling of being hungry, or rather, everyone living in this world, whether from the upper or lower class, has experienced hunger.

Therefore, they attach great importance to the food they eat, so much so that they become obsessed with it.

"Mom, we still have to find a way to catch more river fish tomorrow.

If there is no fish, there are still shrimps and crabs. Otherwise, what will dad and brother eat when they come back? "

The mercenary team does not always get a good harvest every time they go out. In case they do not get enough meat, the mercenary team can only distribute points.

Points are very important in the base, but the amount of food and meat that can be bought with points is limited and very expensive.

Generally speaking, they are self-sufficient and will only go to the redemption center to buy food when they are short of food. Otherwise, they save points to pay for daily living expenses and buy daily necessities.

Song Ling patted Shen Yao on the shoulder and said, "It's so bad, what can you do?"

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao took out the vines she had cut and said, "Let's make a net and try to catch some bugs."

At worst, it will be wasted. They cannot not do something just because they are afraid of failure or the success rate is not high. How can they nourish their bodies without meat?

Song Ling: …

In the end, Song Ling had no choice but to follow Shen Yao's wishes and weave the fishing net according to Shen Yao's instructions.

Of course, the holes in the fishing net were a bit big, so Shen Yao had to make two fish cages herself. She planned to do both and see the effect.

Dinner was still mixed vegetable leaves and coarse flour steamed buns. She had gotten used to the life here and not only did she not feel uncomfortable at all, but she accepted it just fine.

Well, this is probably the adaptability of the new humans. As long as they don't die from eating, they can survive.

They fell asleep immediately, and when they opened their eyes the next day, Shen Yao and Song Ling carried their backpacks and went to the riverside south of the city to continue collecting wild vegetables.

Oh, today only Song Ling went to pick wild vegetables, and Shen Yao found a quiet place to catch fish.

As for whether he could catch it or eat it if he caught it, Shen Yao didn't know.

Crash——crash————

The fishing net was put into the water, and the fish cage was tied up by the river. Shen Yao bent down and stared at the situation in the river. In the end, she could only go ashore and wait for the situation.

However, Shen Yao was not idle. She pulled the water celery beside her and tested it. It was a moderately mutated plant and could be eaten in moderation.

After folding it and putting it into the backpack, Shen Yao checked it while keeping an eye on the situation by the river.

Not many people come to the river to collect vegetables because the wild vegetables here are too scarce compared to those in other places.

If Song Ling didn't have to take care of Shen Yao, she would have gone to the east of the city to find her good sisters to accompany her.

"Yao Yao"

Song Ling called for help in the middle of the process. It turned out that she found a piece of very fresh shepherd's purse. Song Ling was too busy to handle it, so she called Shen Yao to come over and help.

The mother and daughter found about ten kilograms of shepherd's purse stems and leaves in this shepherd's purse field. Six kilograms of them were moderately mutated, and they could earn dozens of points by selling them.

"Mom, I'll go over and take a look. Please help me keep an eye on them," Shen Yao didn't want to make a big noise, otherwise if they came over, she would have to deal with them.

Song Ling waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, no one usually goes to the riverside." Those who are interested go outside to hunt wild animals, and most of those who come here are timid and afraid of death.

Shen Yao: ...cannot refute

Walking to the river in a low-key manner, Shen Yao saw that the fishing net and the fish cage were moving. She quickly jumped into the water to fish the things out and threw them directly to the shore.

There are many kinds of fish in the Danshui River. After the mutation, these fish have become very large. The fry that were only the length of a finger in my memory are now the size of a palm, and the grown fish are even as thick as an arm.

The fish cage and fishing net that Shen Yao used were not big. The largest fish that could be put in was only the length of a forearm and weighed about five pounds.

Shen Yao tapped the fish again and again with the hoe. After making sure that the fish was dead, he took out the detection needle in the watch and tested it one by one.

drip-

"Carp, a highly mutated creature, cannot be eaten"

"Grass carp, a highly mutated creature, cannot be eaten"

"Carp, a moderately mutated creature, can be eaten in moderation."

"..."

In addition to fish, the river also contains river shrimps, snails, clams and other specialties.

Shen Yao was busy working, and finally harvested two moderately mutated crucian carps, which together weighed five kilograms; and a few palm-sized low-mutated river shrimps, which together weighed three or four kilograms.

Before I knew it, it was noon again, the hottest time of the day.

Shen Yao and Song Ling hid in the shade of a tree to cool off. Shen Yao's backpack carried the fishy smell of river fish, which attracted Song Ling to come over frequently to check.

"Mom, why don't you join me in the afternoon? We have a good harvest in the river."

With Song Ling's help, they can catch more river shrimps to supplement protein.

Song Ling licked the corner of her mouth subconsciously, thought about it and nodded in agreement. After all, there was no rush to pick wild vegetables, and fish and shrimp were all meat.

After resting for almost an hour and feeling less hot, the two of them went to the river to work.

The fish cage and fishing net that Shen Yao threw down had already caught a batch of fish and shrimp.

They worked in perfect harmony to check the contents and harvested two palm-sized yellow croakers.

The highly mutated fish were not thrown away directly, but chopped up by Shen Yao and used as bait. Shen Yao even threw a few into the ditch to see if he could catch some greedy fish.

As a result, Shen Yao used the stems and leaves as hemp ropes and stepped on the crab with a big face to tie it up.

Song Ling heard the noise and ran over to help. The mother and daughter caught all the crabs and finally detected a whole low-level mutation.

Song Ling:……? !!!

Song Ling's eyes lit up and she looked at Shen Yao as if she was looking at the God of Wealth.

"Girl, let's keep catching," Song Ling forced herself to lower her voice. She was so excited that she wanted to search the entire riverside.

Shen Yao asked Song Ling to calm down, saying that they should not make a fuss as everyone would know about it, otherwise they would not be able to defend this place.

After all, it’s because food in the mutated world is difficult to obtain.

In other mission worlds, Shen Yao wouldn't have to work so hard. It was because she was oppressed by reality and had to bow to difficulties.

Just like yesterday, after working hard all day, Shen Yao and Song Ling returned home carrying a basket of river fish.

Song Ling stewed a fish for dinner in a very generous manner. She dried the food she brought back and preserved it, not disliking the fishy smell of the river food at all.

"Mom, Dad and my brother will be back tomorrow. We can make more fishing nets and fish cages tonight and continue to go to the river to catch freshwater fish."

Shen Yao drank the milky white fish soup, and the tiredness of the day was relieved.

Sure enough, delicious food can make people happy, and she is very happy now.

Song Ling also likes to eat fish, especially fresh river fish that has just been fished out. It tastes delicious after simple cooking. Song Ling drank a mouthful of fish soup without even looking up. "Okay, let's make up more stories tonight. We can't keep the fish secret for too long. Let's catch more while others are out picking wild vegetables."

Although the base is not small, there are many people living in it. They walked back all the way with the baskets on their backs, and they were seen by many people.

Who knows, tomorrow morning, the river bank they liked might be taken away by someone else.

After quickly finishing their dinner, the mother and daughter cleaned up the dishes and sat in the living room to weave fishing nets and fish cages.

Song Ling started working, and Shen Yao helped pass the vines. They were busy until late at night, and the living room floor was covered with the results of their late-night work.

"Go back to bed and get up early tomorrow."

There is no such thing as rest. People in the New Year are busy from sunrise to sunset.

Shen Yao pounded her sore shoulders, went back to the room, swallowed a pill, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

A few hours of rest greatly relieved the physical fatigue of yesterday.

After a simple breakfast and lunch, Shen Yao and Song Ling went out one after another with their bags.

It's just unfortunate that today, there are obviously a lot of people going to the river to try their luck.

Seeing this, Song Ling became extremely anxious. She only took a half-hour break at noon and worked hard with Shen Yao.

Song Ling returned home with a happy smile, carrying a backpack filled with fresh river fish. Unexpectedly, she saw a figure walking around just at the door.

A strong middle-aged man opened the door and took the backpacks from Shen Yao and Song Ling.

The two men were carrying extremely heavy baskets, which seemed like paper in the sturdy man's hands and were placed lightly in front of the door.

"Old Shen"

"dad"

Shen Jiancheng grinned and pointed behind him, "Bring back a deer. We'll have meat to eat soon."

Meat?!!!

Song Ling pushed Shen Jiancheng with a happy look on her face, pulled Shen Yao and rushed into the room.

There was still a strong smell of blood in the room, but Song Ling did not dislike it. Instead, she enthusiastically asked Shen Yu, who was cutting meat, to make room for her.

"You can't eat meat randomly. Leave some for now and we'll make it into jerky later."

Song Ling was thinking about what to do with the meat. The deer weighed about two or three hundred kilograms, all of which were edible parts.

Shen Yu looks exactly like Shen Jiancheng, with a tall and strong body and a fierce face. Children would definitely be scared to tears if they saw him.

"Mom, let's have stewed meat today," Shen Yu said aggrievedly. After eating nutrient solution for several days, he was craving for meat.

Song Ling waved her hand and said, "We caught a lot of fish and shrimp today, and we'll have fish tonight.

Don't worry, we'll have stewed meat tomorrow morning. I'll simmer it slowly over low heat."

Shen Yu: ...

Shen Yao called Shen Yu over so as not to get in the way of Song Ling, but she didn't see her father come over to help.

It would be impossible to eat all the venison in one go once they got home. Song Ling would make sure to save most of it first, and the rest would be the amount they could eat.

"Brother, you guys haven't encountered any danger in the past few days, have you?"

Shen Yao was concerned about her adopted brother and took the opportunity to pick up the river fish at the door.

"No, this time our mercenary team got a lot of edible meat, and we also got points."

The big guy Shen Yu squatted over to help, his eyes shining brightly.

"Brother, how many days will you take a break this time?" Shen Yao continued to ask.

Shen Yu scratched his head, "I haven't been out for the past week." There is enough food, and the mercenaries won't work so hard, because that would be a tough job that you can't come back from if you're not careful.

In the evening, the family ate fish, drank fish soup, and even had coarse flour steamed buns to fill their stomachs.

Shen Jiancheng and his son Shen Yu were both big eaters. They ate the entire bowl of steamed buns, which made Song Ling mutter that they were the reincarnation of starving ghosts. There was not enough food at home, and they had to spend points to buy them at the redemption center.

With the two pillars of the family back, Song Ling even spoke louder unconsciously.

The base was not absolutely safe at that time, and some petty thefts continued despite repeated bans. Fortunately, the Shen family was not the kind of family that would allow others to bully them.

"Tomorrow morning, our whole family will go to the river. Old Shen, you should spend your points to go to the redemption center and buy all the food rations for this month."

The base sets a limit on the purchase of staple food every month: 40 kilograms for adults, 80 kilograms for those who have genetic awakening, and 10-20 kilograms for children under the age of sixteen depending on their age.

Their family can buy 240 kilograms of flour every month. The cheapest coarse flour is 3 points per kilogram, which can make them % to % full by eating the wild vegetables they pick.

After all, those who have genetic awakening can eat, and relying on rough noodles alone will definitely not satisfy their hunger. Otherwise, Song Ling would not treasure meat so much and would rather not eat any of it and save it all.

Shen Jiancheng scratched his chin and said, "Why don't we buy some rice to eat in rotation?"

Shen Jiancheng feels uncomfortable eating noodles all the time, so he prefers grains such as rice and millet.

Song Ling shook her head. "Rice is worth 500 points per pound. You only earned points in one trip. We have to add more points when we buy brown flour."

No matter which rice you buy, only brown flour is cost-effective and filling. Buy it when you don’t have to worry about food and drink.

Shen Jiancheng: ...

Shen Yu and Shen Yao gathered together to make fun of their father. Even though they wanted to eat it too, it was a pity that they could only think about it. They decided to try their best to collect it.

…………

Shen Yao opened her eyes and was in a trance for a moment. Only when she heard the noise outside did she realize that she had arrived in a new mission world.

After getting up, getting dressed, and simply washing up, the family finally got to eat the stew they had been craving for.

The meat tasted delicious and they ate the whole bowl.

After telling Shen Jiancheng not to forget to buy the rough noodles, Song Ling took Shen Yao and Shen Yu to the riverside.

There are more people coming today than yesterday. The Feng Shui treasure land discovered by Shen Yao and Song Ling has been occupied by people who arrived early.

Helplessly, they could only choose a new place and walk down along the river, stopping only after half an hour.

"Okay, let's stay here. Ayu, you and I will go over and lower the fishing nets and fish cages. Yaoyao, stay on the shore and pay attention to the surrounding situation."

After Song Ling finished her instructions, she walked over first.

The weather was still a little cold and the river water was icy, but Song Ling was not afraid at all and put the fishing net and fish cage in place in no time.

Shen Yao looked around. There were very few people here, and the closest one was about ten meters away from them.

Behind me was a patch of wild grass nearly as tall as a human being. I wondered if there were any wild ducks, pheasants, or rabbits in it.

There should be some. Going further ahead is an unknown hill. There are no big beasts, but there are many small beasts. Someone at the base once caught a wild rabbit on the hill.

Shen Yao used the hoe in her hand to knock on the grass behind her for a while. She didn't hear any animal calls, so she could only lower her head to collect the newly sprouted wild vegetables.
