He Xing nodded with a smile. “The yield of mushrooms in the base isn’t high, so its value should be quite high. If we want to exchange them for eggs, it probably wouldn’t be difficult.”
He had been working for the past few days and had come into contact with many researchers and planting experts from the base. He had a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation in the base. There were indeed people growing mushrooms in the base, but the production was very small, and the price was much higher than eggs.
The mushrooms planted by Du Yue were growing well, and the harvest would probably be good. If she was willing to exchange them for eggs, there would definitely be a lot of people willing to trade with her.
Du Yue was in a good mood. She pulled He Xing, and they chatted in the mushroom house for a while before the two of them walked out. Although they had not been in there for long, their hair and clothes were already covered in water droplets. Du Yue put the flashlight aside, took out two dry towels, and handed one to He Xing. She said with some embarrassment, “I forgot to tell you to wear a hat. I was too happy just now.”
“It’s okay. I know you were just anxious to share your joy with me.”
Du Yue smiled and nodded. “You really understand me!”
“Of course!” The two of them had already returned to the house as they spoke. After sitting down at the table, Du Yue asked He Xing again, “How are the preparations for the cultivation base?”
“It’s almost done. 1 think I’ll be able to bring back some eggs in less than a week.”
Du Yue’s eyes were filled with surprise. “How many eggs will the base give you?”
He Xing had started working at sunrise and returning at sunset these days. The base should give him a lot of remuneration, right? He Xing did not tell her directly but kept her guessing. “I won’t tell you yet. I’ll surprise you later.”
Of course, there was a need for surprises in a dull life.
Du Yue did not pester him to get to the bottom of it and changed the topic. “What do you want to eat for dinner? I’ll cook it for you.”
“As long as it’s made by you, I’ll love it.” He Xing did not have any special preferences other than eating meat.
The biggest worry for the three of them was probably thinking about what to eat for three meals a day. Du Yue knew that she would not be able to get anything out of He Xing. She decided not to ask anymore and went straight to the space to search for ingredients. She flipped through it for a while and finally saw the ingredient that she was interested in. The white prawns had already been processed. She took out the processed white prawns and stir-fried them to make a spicy prawn pot.
The fried potatoes and sweet potato strips could be laid on the bottom, as well as the taro knots. Finally, she sprinkled sesame seeds and coriander evenly on it. Not only did it smell fragrant, but even the color combination was very pleasing to the eye, making people drool when they looked at it. Du Yue fried more eggs. She used the eggs that Zuo Mingdong had sent over. After everything was prepared and served on the table, Du Yue could not help but sigh and shake her head. It would be a pity if she did not ask Xia Ju to come out and eat such a good dish while it was hot.
However, Xia Ju had already told them not to disturb her, so Du Yue could not go over and call her. Just as Du Yue was in a dilemma, Xia Ju walked out of the room. Du Yue looked at her and saw that her long silver hair had become a mess. Her usually bright eyes had also become dull, and she seemed to be at a loss. She walked over slowly and only regained her focus when she saw the dish on the table.
“Which chef made this? This is too fragrant!” Xia Ju cried out in surprise, but her voice was a little hoarse. It was obvious that she had not drunk water for a long time. Just as Du Yue was about to speak, Xia Ju said, “Du Yue, did you make this delicious dish to reward me after seeing that I’m too tired from my research?”
Hearing this, Du Yue forced a dry smile and said nothing. If she said no, would Xia Ju be angry?
However, Xia Ju did not care about Du Yue’s answer. She had already sat at the dining table and was ready to eat. After Du Yue and He Xing sat down, the three of them picked up their chopsticks and began to eat. Xia Ju ate the spicy prawns without any distractions, while Du Yue picked up an egg with her chopsticks first. The aroma of the egg filled the air. Du Yue felt unprecedented satisfaction when she ate it. Du Yue looked at Xia Ju and He Xing and saw that they had their heads lowered. They were eating seriously without saying a word.
Du Yue knew that they liked today’s meal just by looking at their expressions. When the three of them looked up again, the food on the table had been swept clean by them. Looking at the plates and bowls that were even cleaner than the ones that had been washed, Du Yue could not help but praise, “The three of us really eat and drinkwell. We don’t have any worries.”
When Xia Ju heard this, she stood up immediately. “I’m using my appetite as motivation.. I’m going to continue my research!”
