Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 469: Struggling on the Brink of Death
When the hunter team members came back, they didn't see Liu Hun at home. Geng Zimo said casually: "Where is Liu Hun? Didn't he say he didn't want to go out? Why isn't he in the house?"
Ye Ziqiu sneered: "I think this guy just doesn't want to go to the meeting, so he's too lazy to go out."
The main task of the team going out this time is to hold a meeting at the Guard Center, to have in-depth cooperation with the Hunter Association on the demons that appeared in the dungeon and to formulate a plan. They also plan to carry out the first "clearing operation" when the weather warms up a little next week, because when the weather warms up, the demons will be dormant. According to the analysis of the Meteorological Bureau, the temperature will gradually warm up in the next two weeks, and the highest temperature at noon during the day can reach 26 or 27 degrees, but the temperature at night is only 15 degrees, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large; and after two weeks, it will be mid-January, when the temperature of the whole country will have a big drop like a Waterloo, especially in the northern region, which may usher in the first light snow of the year, and the temperature in Jiangcheng will also drop below ten degrees, and the coldest time is probably a week before the New Year, which will last to one or two degrees. So before the temperature drops, they have to completely clear the demons and speed up the development of the dungeon.
Xuyang and Xu Qingzhi were looking for food in the refrigerator, while the other was playing games on his phone. Fang Tang started doing push-ups as soon as he came back. He was a muscle maniac and loved eating and showing off his muscles the most. Sometimes Liu Hun would complain that his brain had grown into his muscles, otherwise how could he be so stupid but appear smart.
Chen Yanxi was sitting alone on the sofa. Although he usually went back to his room most of the time, he would occasionally have meals and chat with team members in the living room. He was not the kind of person who was born cold-hearted. Liu Hun even said that when he first met the boss seven or eight years ago, he was still a cheerful and talkative guy. Until he experienced some things in society, struggled to survive in the end times, and was more or less affected by superpowers, his mentality gradually calmed down and even became cold-blooded for a while. However, he still protected the members of the team, otherwise he would not have been separated and charged into battle many times when performing missions.
Chen Yanxi slowly made himself a cup of tea and planned to walk to the balcony to look down at the small courtyard opposite. Before his cup of tea was ready, he heard the sound of humming coming from downstairs.
Others saw Liu Hun carrying two heavy bags in his hands, looking very happy, with an indescribable look of pride on his face.
Others were curious when they saw him like that. Did he win the game? Or did he win the scratch-off lottery?
Xu Qingzhi had the most sensitive five senses. He immediately smelled the fragrance emanating from the bags and stared at the two bags in his hands without blinking: "Brother Liu, what delicious food did you buy? It smells so good?"
Xuyang also looked up after hearing this. He was chewing a sandwich in his mouth. Because it didn't taste good, he was too lazy to heat it up and just ate it. The ham inside was all made of starch and had no meat taste at all. The bread crust of the sandwich was also very hard. If he hadn't been so hungry after coming back from a meeting all morning, he would definitely not eat this thing. When he heard Xu Qingzhi say that there was something delicious in the bag, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to take the bag, but was dodged by Liu Hun.
"Go away, go away, you two idiots, why are you so anxious? I haven't taken it out yet. Xu Qingzhi, you are the only one with a dog's nose, right? You can smell what it is." Liu Hun scolded with a smile while putting the bag on the coffee table.
Not to mention, the two bags were really heavy, looking like they held at least seven or eight kilograms of stuff.
"Stop being so pretentious. I guess you bought something randomly again. It's not the barbecue from outside, is it? That stuff smells delicious at first, but it smells like urine after a long time. If you bought mutant rat meat, I'll kick you out." Ye Ziqiu raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with disgust. She was once tricked by Liu Hun into eating roasted rat meat. The shadow of that time can be imagined. She couldn't eat any meat for more than a month and could only eat fruits and dry bread crusts. If she hadn't been afraid of the impact and spent a lot of money to eat good food in the restaurant a few times, she would have been malnourished long ago.
Liu Hun quickly smiled and shook his head, still looking mysterious: "How could that be possible? This is definitely a good stuff." Then he opened one of the bags.
When the black plastic bag was opened, he found that there was a layer of tin foil inside. Liu Hun carefully peeled away the tin foil and a large piece of meat with good color, aroma and taste appeared.
At this time, what hits you is a richer aroma of meat and a distinct smell of spices. If you were to describe it in terms of taste, it would be similar to the slightly spicy smell of braised meat before the end of the world.
"Sister Ziqiu, this doesn't look like rat meat. Rat meat isn't this color. This is... pork?" Usually Xu Qingzhi and Ye Ziqiu took turns in the kitchen. People who often cut meat knew what kind of animal it was as soon as they saw the texture of the meat. First of all, this piece of meat was obviously hind leg meat, and then from the analysis of the meat quality and texture, it was known to be pork.
Ye Ziqiu looked at Liu Hun in some confusion: "Where did you buy the braised meat? Isn't it hard to buy fresh pork now? And it's braised in advance." What's more important is that the meat does not have the slight meaty smell of the mutated pork that is difficult to conceal.
Since all mutant meats have some peculiar smell, the most common way for ordinary people to eat them is to grill, fry or deep-fry them. If they are braised, a lot of spices will be consumed, so few people cook them in this way.
It's no wonder that Ye Ziqiu felt surprised. She thought back then that in order to have a bite of authentic braised meat, she had to go to the hotels frequented by the powerful. Just one dish of braised meat cost her several hundred points, and she could only eat half full.
"I didn't buy it. It was given to me as a gift." Liu Hun still had a smile on his face, but his eyes hinted at something when he looked at Chen Yanxi.
Ye Ziqiu rolled her eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to have friends outside. What a surprise."
Fang Tang had already turned around and got a fruit knife from the kitchen. Just as he was about to start, he was stopped by Ye Ziqiu: "Hey, wait, do you know how to cut meat? Let me do it." He took the knife away and quickly divided the meat into four equal portions. Each portion weighed about one pound. They were just going to taste it and not fill their stomachs, so they would only need to eat one pound first. The meat in the other bag could be frozen temporarily, and the others could be kept for dinner tonight and tomorrow.
After cutting more than a pound of meat, there is a full plate. Each piece of meat is of uniform thickness, and you can see rich oil and water overflowing when cutting the meat. The whole piece of meat is covered with marinade. How can it not be delicious?
Liu Hun was not in a hurry to eat. In fact, he had already tasted it in the yard and even ate three braised eggs in a row. The taste of those braised eggs was also unique. They were delicious just by being braised for three hours. If they were soaked overnight, wouldn’t they be so delicious that your tongue will fall apart?
However, he was too embarrassed to take the braised eggs or the pig offal, but he did get the address of the store. When the boss's girlfriend's store opened, he would definitely rush there and buy all the meat.
The boss's girlfriend is not only a rare beauty, but her cooking skills are not inferior to those of the chefs in the first-floor restaurant. What a blessing! I used to wonder what the boss's girlfriend would be like. After all, it is too difficult for their boss to find a suitable one given his own conditions. A rich girl of equal status is spoiled and willful, a girl from a poor family has a hot temper and is not good either, a girl from a petite family doesn't look generous enough and is indecisive, unlike that Miss Gu, who is beautiful and capable. She can survive in the end times on her own and is definitely a ruthless person who is no less than their boss. No wonder the boss is obsessed with her.
"Liu Hun, I'm asking you a question. Where did you buy this thing?" Seeing that Liu Hun was distracted, Ye Ziqiu raised her voice slightly.
"Fuck, you guys haven't eaten in a few days and you finished all your food. I haven't eaten yet!" Liu Hunsai stared at the plate with not even any sauce left in it in amazement. It was even cleaner than a washed one.
"Brother Liu, this is not very kind of you. How can you hide such delicious food? So which friend gave it to you?" Xuyang sucked his fingers covered with marinade with a reluctant look, and it was obvious that he loved the taste.
Liu Hun opened his mouth and bit his cheek for a long while before saying, "I won't tell you. You're going to be so anxious!"
At this moment, Chen Yanxi, who had not reacted at all, stood up, withdrew his eyes from the curling white smoke not far away outside, and then naturally took the other bag away.
Liu Hun: “???”
Just when Liu Hun was about to say that it was his own meat, he found that his boss's gaze towards him was a little more fierce, so he said calmly in a tone that showed he was aware of everything, "She was willing to give it this time, but this won't happen again."
After watching the slender figure disappear at the entrance of the living room, Xu Qingzhi approached and asked, "What did the captain mean?"
Fang Tang seemed to understand something and looked at Liu Hun with a half-smile: "You have touched the boss's reverse scale this time. The boss has a strong possessiveness."
"I, I just took a piece of braised meat, and it was given to me by someone on their own initiative." Although Liu Hun tried to convince himself that he was right in this matter, who knew that when he thought of the boss's eyes just now, he murmured softly: "This possessiveness is too abnormal..."
Among the people who stayed behind, Fang Tang's brain was the fastest. Unlike his usual simple and honest appearance, he looked at Liu Hun with a pair of smiling eyes and said, "Liu Hun, you are quite courageous. The boss doesn't have it, so you go and ask for it yourself first."
Liu Hun's face gradually darkened. Thinking of what Chen Yanxi had just said, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, but he was still very firm, though a little lacking in confidence: "This, this can't be completely blamed on me. How do I know that they didn't give it to the boss? Besides, it's just a piece of meat, the boss won't do that, right?"
Fang Tang just kept that knowing smile. He certainly would not tell Liu Hun that the other party was the girl that the boss had liked for more than ten years, let alone tell him that the boss would rather go into a dangerous place to find the lost copper keychain, which were all given to him by the person he liked.
Finally, Fang Tang patted Liu Hun on the shoulder and said heartlessly: "You'll have to wish you the best in this month's training camp."
Xuyang, who had been standing near the balcony, suddenly caught a glimpse of white smoke coming from the two-story building opposite. He suddenly smelled a pleasant meaty aroma, which was very similar to the braised pork he had just eaten.
Xuyang seemed to understand something, and squinted his eyes to look at the opposite side. It seemed that he could really see two busy figures in the other side's backyard.
"Brother Liu, you are really brave. I didn't quite believe it before, but today I completely believe it. It's awesome!" After sighing, Xuyang said sympathetically.
"What do you mean? Are you guys playing charades?" Geng Zimo was confused and totally stupefied.
Xuyang pointed at the empty plastic bag and then at the white smoke outside.
The others looked at each other and crowded to the balcony, where they happened to see Gu Tongwan riding an electric bike to deliver braised meat to the outer circle.
At this time, they were only a few dozen meters apart, and it was daytime, so everyone recognized that the person riding the turtle bike was the boss's childhood sweetheart.
"I see." Ye Ziqiu nodded, looking as if he had realized something.
"So that's how it is." Xu Qingzhi also understood and looked at Liu Hun with some sympathy.
At this moment, it was hard to tell whether Liu Hun was smiling or crying. This was really an unexpected disaster for him. It was just a piece of meat.
*****
In the yard, Gu Tongwan wiped the sweat off his forehead and suddenly felt satisfied when looking at the two large pots of braised meat. This time, he braised one and a half pigs in total, one of which was mutated pigs hunted on a farm. However, because the mutation time of those native pigs was not too long at that time, the quality of the meat had only changed slightly. But after being braised with spices, the slight smell of mutton was no longer noticeable.
When Liao Yunyun left in the morning, she specially packed some braised pig tongue and braised pork in two plastic lunch boxes for her, filling them full, enough for her to eat for several meals.
Taking advantage of the time when she went back to the house to drink water, she entered the space. At this time, there were 8 mutant pork and 48 non-mutated pork in the space. She had not eaten meat very often in the past few years, and she would have eaten less than three pigs a year. The main reason was that it took a certain amount of time to process and cook. If her life had not gradually stabilized, she would not have thought of processing all the pork at once.
In addition to these, there are also several hundred kilograms of meat that were looted from the hot pot restaurant and the buffet restaurant. These have been processed and have been left in the space without being moved. She plans to keep the sliced and diced pork and beef for herself.
After a rough inspection, she decided to sell the braised pork as a limited product in the store occasionally, which could also have the effect of hunger marketing.
