Shalu said as he took out a translucent crystal from the bag, which was about the size of a fingernail: "This is the crystal. We use crystals to exchange for food here. Because food is extremely scarce, it is very expensive. I can't go on a mission." We can only earn ten white crystals, one white crystal is our three-day ration, and these ten white crystals are enough for us to live for one month."
Xia Yuanqiu looked at the crystal in front of her. This kind of thing is very similar to crystal, but it is definitely not crystal. She asked: "How much meat can one white crystal buy?"
Sha Lu shook his head: "One white crystal can't buy meat. It can only buy two catties of noodles and three handfuls of vegetables. It takes three white crystals to buy a half-catty piece of pork belly."
Why isn’t the price of meat so high
Fortunately, she still had a lot of chickens and ducks in the space of her jade bracelet, and there were wild boars and hares in the mountains and forests, so it was not a matter of time before she could eat meat.
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and pushed the two of them to the front hall and said: "You will have a try of my craftsmanship at noon today. You all have a rest."
Sha Mu wanted to help with the cooking, but Yuan Qiu was determined and her son's clothes were dirty, so she handed over the kitchen to Xia Yuanqiu. He went to wash his son's clothes and tidy up the room where Yuan Qiu was going to live.
Soon, an alluring aroma wafted out of the kitchen. Sala swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked his mother, "What kind of food does this smell like? When did you buy it?"
Shamu shook her head: "I only bought green vegetables and nothing else. Can green vegetables also produce this kind of fragrance?"
They resisted the urge to go to the kitchen to take a look, and waited in the front hall while swallowing their saliva. Smelling the smell, their internal organs were roaring with hunger.
Finally, Xia Yuanqiu brought three dishes and one soup that she had been working on for a long time to the table: a roast duck with sliced skin, a roasted rabbit, a vegetarian stir-fried green vegetable, and a fresh fish soup.
Seeing the mother and son stunned, Shamu asked in surprise: "Where did you get these dishes?"
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said: "I stored some food in this space ring before. Fortunately, I didn't lose the ring, so I can still eat it for a while."
Space Ring Salad also has one, which is not uncommon in the East China Sea. He performed well in a field mission, and the academy gave him one as a reward. However, he had nothing to store, only some daily necessities and some School supplies.
After listening to Xia Yuanqiu's explanation, the two of them were still confused. Shalu said: "It is not only the East China Sea that is short of food, but also the West Sea, South China Sea, and Beihai countries. Food is very scarce, so the price of meat is too high, and many people cannot eat it." Get up, but you can actually take out these casually, it seems that your identity is very unusual."
She didn't know how bad the food shortage was here, but it must be worse than she imagined. Otherwise, it was just a rabbit and a duck, so why make such a fuss
Xia Yuanqiu smiled and said: "It's nothing. They are all raised by me. They are not expensive. Eat them quickly. They won't taste good when they are cold."
Under Xia Yuanqiu's strong request, the two of them started to move their chopsticks. Once they moved their chopsticks, they could no longer stop. They rarely touched meat, and the satisfaction and delicious taste of meat made them hooked. .
"I didn't expect that not only can you cook, but you are also so good at craftsmanship!" Mother Sha looked at Xia Yuanqiu with great satisfaction, and then at her son, thinking that if her son could marry such a daughter-in-law, it would be really Shasha. The blessing of home.
