Hot Food! A Great Improvement in Life

For food, Su Mo didn't have high demands, as long as it could be stored for a long time and not spoil.

The special ability of the flour suited his wishes perfectly.

At this stage, everyone's food was extremely simple. Su Mo's Large Rye Bread, at least, had enough salt to meet his daily needs.

Others weren't so lucky! Some people could only dig grass and peel bark for three meals a day, and some were so hungry that they dared to eat dirt to survive.

As for the Mutated Beast Meat that could be traded, due to the harsh natural environment, these animals basically had very little fat in their meat, and chewing it was like eating bark, dry as hell.

Only Oreo didn't discriminate and ate with relish.

Su Mo was happy with this. Compared to the exchange price of 100ml of water for 500g of bread on the trading market, Su Mo could exchange 100ml of water for about 700g to 800g of Mutated Beast Meat.

Opening the trading panel, Su Mo's eyes flickered.

Today, he decided to treat himself well, spend more water to exchange for some delicious food to celebrate, as a reward for successfully retreating from the Ruins unscathed.

After an afternoon of saving, plus what was left in the morning, and what he had drunk to heal his injuries before.

At this time, he had a full 3.8L of Psionic Water.

Looking at all the survival players around the world, Su Mo dared to claim second place in this storage, and no one dared to claim first.

First, he searched around to see if anyone was selling rare items, and then Su Mo directly started searching for keywords.

"Chicken"

[Sorry, no trading items related to chicken were found]

"Pork"

[Sorry, no trading items related to pork were found]

"Beef"

The items on the trading channel were strange and varied, and some people had opened good things from Earth in treasure chests, but without exception, there were no meat products.

After searching around, Su Mo had no choice but to change direction. This time, his keyword became canned meat.

[Sorry, no trading items related to canned meat were found]

"There's none of that either?"

"Cured Meat!"

[2 items found for you]

After changing direction, Su Mo showed a satisfied smile.

One piece of 400g Cured Meat, one piece of 200g Cured Meat. In terms of unit price, 1ml of water could be exchanged for 3g of Cured Meat, which was expensive.

After opening a private chat and messaging the seller, the other party saw that it was Su Mo and asked with a face full of surprise if he would trade with Psionic Water.

After receiving Su Mo's affirmative answer, the other party took the initiative to lower the price.

The unit price was reduced to 1ml of water for 6g of Cured Meat, which stunned Su Mo.

Although it had been rumored in the past two days that Psionic Water was a holy medicine for healing, many people only knew that there was such a thing, but didn't know if it was true or false.

Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, Su Mo simply treated it as a promotional item and still traded at the original price, which made the other party thank him repeatedly.

After spending 200ml of Psionic Water to exchange for Cured Meat, a flash of light passed, and the water level in the wooden barrel storing Psionic Water dropped insignificantly.

But two pieces of Cured Meat of different sizes appeared in Su Mo's inventory.

Taking out the Cured Meat, looking at the marbled, transparent, bright, yellow-red Cured Meat, Su Mo couldn't help but have his appetite aroused.

Taking out 6 units of iron blocks used to transform the base, Su Mo switched to the manufacturing page.

[Iron Stove: Iron Block 6/6, Wood 1/1, Soil 2/2]

Confirm manufacturing! Iron Block -6, Wood -1, Soil -2!

With a flash of manufacturing light, a common rural stove appeared in Su Mo's inventory.

Finding a place near the corner, as Su Mo's mind moved, the stove appeared in place.

This was also the benefit of system manufacturing. When placing it for the first time, you only needed to concentrate your mind to choose the placement location.

Taking out the Earthen Pot scavenged from the Ruins, and pouring in 100ml of Psionic Water to scrub it clean, Oreo, who was lying at the door, began to howl.

"Almost forgot about you, little guy."

From the moment they returned, Oreo had voluntarily run to the door to guard it, behaving obediently, unlike a typical Erha.

At this moment, following the scent of the Cured Meat, its mouth watered, it wanted to come over to please and beg for food, but it was also afraid that if it left, monsters would invade and it wouldn't be able to protect Su Mo.

"We'll eat together in a bit, don't worry."

Su Mo looked at Oreo with an approving gaze. After receiving confirmation, the latter stopped howling, but from the drool at the corner of its mouth, one could see Oreo's honesty.

Huskies were originally working dogs, but because they were raised in cities, they gradually lost their wildness, and their only job left was to destroy homes.

Now, guarding the door, it was no worse than a rural mongrel.

After cleaning the Earthen Pot, he placed it on the Iron Stove.

As a child from the older generation in the countryside, he wasn't like the children in the city now, who only knew how to turn on a gas stove to light a fire.

Su Mo took out a unit of wood and stuffed it underneath, took out the lighter he had traded for earlier, and easily ignited the plant fibers, starting a fire.

Pouring in nearly a liter of Psionic Water, Su Mo threw in two pieces of Cured Meat.

With the conditions being simple, he planned to make a stomach-nourishing and replenishing Cured Meat soup to drink something warm.

It was just a pity that the cabbage and Tomatoes next to him had just been planted, otherwise, adding some fresh vegetables would make the taste even more delicious.

Adding salt to taste, and then adding a little fermented black soybeans, cooking wine, and black pepper powder to flavor it, before long, a sweet and delicious aroma came from the simmering Cured Meat soup.

Su Mo, who was sitting next to the Earthen Pot guarding it, was also hooked by the craving at this moment.

For three whole days, Su Mo hadn't eaten food with seasoning.

In the past, he would never have imagined that just a Cured Meat soup without even any vegetables could make him crave it like this.

Seeing that the soup was almost ready, Su Mo opened the trading panel again and bought half a kilogram of Mutated Jackal Meat.

Using three units of wood, he made two small bowls and a pair of chopsticks.

Su Mo placed one of the small bowls on the ground, threw the Jackal Meat into it, and then poured some of the Cured Meat soup from the pot, along with that 200g piece of Cured Meat, into the bowl.

"Oreo, come eat."

"Today's feast is a reward for protecting your master during the battle, you must work hard in the future, woof!"

In the battle with the Black Dog, Oreo stepped forward and interrupted the Black Dog's second pounce, creating a good opportunity for Su Mo.

Now, naturally, he had to reward it.

Looking at Oreo spinning around because it was hot and fragrant, Su Mo laughed and scooped all the remaining soup from the pot into his own bowl.

The Psionic Water had a naturally glutinous and palatable taste. After being heated, the sweet and fragrant flavor spread unscrupulously in the air. Fortunately, the deep, rich, and delicious flavor of the Cured Meat stopped the endless expansion of the sweetness in time.

The soup was slightly white, with patches of oil floating on the surface of the meat soup, making people drool and yearn for it.

Picking up the Cured Meat with chopsticks, taking a gentle bite, juice splashed everywhere, it tasted mellow and fragrant, fatty but not greasy, lean but not tough.

Chinese cuisine is always so healing.

This was not a precarious doomsday, but rather a sense of happiness floating in paradise.

Without caring that the soup was still a little hot, he picked up the small bowl and slurped it down, leaving a fragrant and endless aftertaste.

After a gluttonous feast, both man and dog collapsed in satisfaction.

Oreo's belly was round, coupled with its serious and funny tilted head expression, it was extremely cute.

Taking advantage of the time to digest, Su Mo opened the private message panel.

Sure enough, Feng Mengyue's several private messages had already been sent.
