Chapter 93: Winter Supplies

July 15, 2023Ai Hrist

Shen Jufeng swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly: “I wanted to eat the added attribute value. Although it is small, it adds up. Later, I bought a chef card skill, so I can barbecue at home.”

Lu Jiu said: “My God, you didn’t even invite us.”

“I cook unpalatable, I’m afraid you will force yourself so as not to hurt my self-esteem.”

Shen Jufeng’s skills were really bad, the barbecue he cooked was only something he can eat by himself, and his skills have only gotten better recently.

Zhuang Yun knew that he used to be the boss of a big company. He might not know how to cook after thinking about it. He smiled and said: “In cooking, practice makes perfect. I will teach you when we have time.”

The other party nodded. The reason why he was able to eat the meat he roasted was not only the tenderness of wild mountain pork but also the good seasoning given by Zhuang Yun.

Shen Jufeng looked at Lu Jiu and said: “Speaking of which, you said at the beginning that you wanted to learn cooking and tailoring, and you wanted to try your craft, but you haven’t tried it until now.”

When he said this, Lu Jiu remembered that she bought skill cards on the dialogue channel, and even boasted that she would take Shen Jufeng to a big meal and make pajamas in the future.

As a result, being the city lord, she became too busy, she didn’t cook a few meals and bought most of her clothes, so she didn’t have time to study these things by herself.

Thinking of this, she smiled awkwardly: “Isn’t it because we are too busy? Let alone, isn’t there Brother Zhuang now.”

But she didn’t expect Shen Jufeng to be so hardworking. Could it be that he barbecues at home every day?

Soon the grilled meat was cooked, Zhuang Yun inserted a sausage on a bamboo stick and handed it to his daughter: “Eat slowly, don’t burn it, there is still a lot.”

Zhuang Antong nodded, took a bite of the grilled sausage, and the delicious aroma burst out in her mouth. She sat there contentedly and ate slowly.

They haven’t been to the Baiguo Forest for a long time. Because of the fall, the branches of the surrounding trees were all withered and yellow, as if all the vitality of the giant trees blooms in this autumn and then slowly dissipates.

Who knows if it was just an illusion? Lu Jiu felt that there was something on the branches of the giant trees, but these trees were hundreds of meters high, so maybe it was just her illusion.

In this way, the three of them rode to the Baiguo Forest, only to find that the branches were covered with fruits when they arrived there. At this moment, the Baiguo Forest is worthy of its name.

“So there are so many kinds of fruits here.” Zhuang Yun sighed while picking different kinds of fruits so that he can eat fresh fruits in winter. The shelf life of fresh fruits was also 6 months.

Shen Jufeng said: “Look for wild boars first, and we’ll pick them slowly when we’re done. It doesn’t matter if we go back later or come back tomorrow.”

Lu Jiu said: “If everyone was not busy killing colorful spiders, there would probably be a crowd of people here.”

Several people continued to move forward and soon saw 5 wild boar pork mountains gathered together in the mountain, who were humming and eating the fruits hanging on the branches.

Zhuang Yun was a little bit distressed by the eaten fruits. The pig could swallow dozens of fruits with one mouth, but thinking that their flesh had the fragrance of fruits, he endured it.

“Let’s get this over with.” Shen Jufeng said.

It was not a problem for them to kill more than a dozen colored spiders of the brown iron mutation level, let alone a common-level boss like a wild boar.

It doesn’t matter if there were a lot of quantity, it was all just delivered food.

The battle ended quickly, and several people continued to search for the little fragrant pig.

Compared to the wild boar pork mountain, the little fragrant pig was relatively small, about the same size as a colorful spider.

When Lu Jiu saw the pink and tender little fragrant pig, she couldn’t help shouting: “Spicy pig! It looks so pink, the meat must be very tender!”

Shen Jufeng didn’t want to complain about her anymore, he just drew his sword and jumped on tiptoe in front of a dozen fragrant pigs. Lu Jiu followed closely behind, and Zhuang Yun could only run on his legs bitterly.

[Fragrant Pig]

(Brown Iron Grade)

Vitality: 2000

Attack: 88-180

Defense: 15

These fragrant pigs have pitifully low defenses as if to prove what Lu Jiu said, their meat must be very tender.

Lu Jiu killed 5-6 of them with tears in her eyes. Seeing the pork that the system reminded her to harvest, tears flowed from the corner of her mouth.

There were a lot of fragrant pigs in Baiguo Grove. The amount was almost the same as the colorful spiders near Xuantian City. They will come across a nest after a short walk.

They encountered dozens of waves this afternoon, and they had almost no need to look for them. Sometimes these wild monsters bumped into them when they were picking fruits, and they had no choice but to accept them with tears.

When she finally decided to go back, Lu Jiu looked at her backpack. There were 1,600 kg of wild boar pork, more than 2,000 kg of fragrant pork, plus other rewards, as well as the fruits she picked. Today, she gathered all the meat and fruits needed for winter.

“Let’s come here in the next few days and collect more and sell them to restaurants in the city.” Lu Jiu suggested.

Zhuang Yun looked at the harvest and was also moved: “I can, what about Mr. Shen?”

Shen Jufeng nodded. He likes wild boar pork very much. Collecting more points will not only help increase the attribute value but also enjoy delicious food.

On the way back, they met a colorful spider and fought a few more times.

After arriving at home, Lu Jiu was paralyzed on her sofa in a daze. They just got fragrant pork today, so Zhuang Yun said he will make a big meal for all of them.

After a simple wash, the changed clothes were automatically washed in the washing machine produced by the system.

After the major update of the game, they have a normal metabolism, so they need to go to the bathroom unlike before. Now, simple daily-use electrical appliances were sold in department stores.

Today Zhuang Yun’s staple food was scorpion meat porridge. Most of the black scorpion meat he harvested earlier was sold to restaurants, and the rest was usually used to cook porridge.

The snow-white scorpion meat cannot be seen from the black scorpion at all. As for the fragrant pork, the protagonist of this feast was fried, stewed, and boiled.

It took nearly two weeks for people to recover from the frenzy caused by the colorful spiders. During this period, most of the professional players accumulated a lot of gold coins.

Even ordinary residents have more than a dozen silver coins in their pockets.

Lu Jiu looked at the materials that had exploded. As the lord of the city, she had her warehouse, and now all kinds of materials were piled up here.

Now that the number of colorful spiders has decreased, and other types of wild monsters have appeared, people have begun to consciously accumulate supplies for the winter.

Food cannot be lacking. It was a material for survival. Money must also be earned. Buying weapons requires money.

After delivering the colorful spider eggs to Old Man Zeng’s house, Lu Jiu also brought out several hundred catties of wild mountain pork and fragrant pork.

“Mr. Zeng, this is the pork we specially collected. Can we pay for pork meat for the sausage you made?”

Lu Jiu doesn’t need money. Anyway, they have a lot of pork, so it’s not a problem to share some with Old Man Zeng.

Old Man Zeng looked at the fresh pork, smiled, and nodded quickly: “Of course, this old man can also make cured ham. If you have pork legs, I will make them for you for free.”

The ham that Old Man Zeng mentioned was not sausage ham, but ham cured with salt from a whole leg of pork.

Lu Jiu has eaten it before, and she has never forgotten the taste of marinated ham fried rice: “Of course, I have a lot of pork legs, and I plan to roast them to eat. Since Mr. Zeng, can make ham, then you can make ham together. I’ll ask the others later if they also want it.”

“It’s okay, I have nothing else to do. This old man is very thankful to you for taking care of my business.”

Lu Jiu kept the meat that needed to be processed, and she gave most of the rest of the fresh meat to restaurants.

It was not like the residents has money in their pockets, but they were willing to come to a restaurant to eat good food. When they eat wild boar pork, they remember that there was Acacia Forest near them.
