Chapter 369 Give each person an extra 5 jin of meat

However, Xian Wenrui naturally had no objection to this kind of thing that benefited their base, and happily accompanied them to the warehouse to organize the fresh food.

Based on this calculation, their base had far too much meat in stock, so Xian Wenrui simply waved his hand and gave each person an extra five pounds of meat for today's rations.

People who completed daily tasks to exchange points for food were still a little confused when they received the food, wondering, "Did they give me too much? Why is there an extra five pounds of meat?"

The person in charge of distributing the food had already received instructions from Xian Wenrui, so he didn't hide anything. "Didn't the leader take the captain and the others out for a while earlier? They went to stock up on grain. Today was a bumper harvest, so to celebrate, everyone will get an extra five catties of meat."

The people who came to collect supplies exclaimed upon hearing this: !!

What a stroke of good luck! They had thought that with such volatile weather, there might not be enough food at the base, but they were surprised to find that not only was there enough food, but there was also extra for them to eat, and even extra meals for them.

However, the extra meat distributed today is mainly seafood, with some exotic animal meat as well as the daily ration of vegetables, fruits, rice, and noodles.

Because of the recent bumper harvest and the abundance of food, they also received a share of rice and flour, which was originally only available to children and the elderly.

Those who had just fled from Donggu and Beishana couldn't believe that their current life was just a hallucination they had before they died.

The base also has a dedicated chef who occasionally cooks special dishes during base-wide celebrations. There are also some young superhumans or alien sea monsters who take the food they receive to humans for processing.

They either exchanged currency or food directly, and they all chose to post directly on the announcement screen, where both those looking for people and those being looked for were relatively reliable.

Chang Jiamu was a little dumbfounded when he received the food. He had stayed in the room for a short time in order to break through and advance.

After completing the advancement, he came out of the room to upgrade his ID. As his ability level increased, his benefits in the base would also improve. He didn't realize anything was wrong along the way.

It wasn't until I heard people around me talking about the extreme weather that I realized it was already below -100 or -200 degrees Celsius outside.

What surprised Chang Jiamu was not the continuously dropping temperature, but the fact that their base was completely unaffected.

Although those people chatted about the current extreme weather, I couldn't detect much fear in their eyes or tone. In fact, they even started thinking about what to eat tomorrow.

Chang Jiamu went to work with his mind blank. After completing his daily tasks for the day, he used his points to exchange for food. After upgrading to the fourth level, the amount of work he had to do also increased.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the extra food he received as a result of his ability level being upgraded, he was lucky enough to receive extra food today, so he also got an extra five catties of sea beast meat.

The person distributing the meat to him asked one more question, "Which type of sea animal would you like to choose from the five catties of sea animal meat?"

"There are still options?"

The person distributing the food was clearly immune to this question. "Well, everyone has different tastes, you can choose, but it's first come, first served."

The meat, especially the middle cut, of the deep-sea giant fat pig has already been selected; these sea creatures really don't mind feeding themselves very well.

Chang Jiamu wasn't very interested in the giant deep-sea pig, so he traded it for five pounds of octopus meat. However, he wasn't good at cooking, so he would have to find someone to help him cook later, and it would be best if he could find a permanent chef for long-term cooperation.

Because most of the young people in the base, including the sea monsters, exotic beasts, and exotic plants, are not good at cooking, those with even slightly decent culinary skills can now make a lot of money off them.

Even those with mediocre skills have customers who feel that the food tastes like home and reminds them of the days before the apocalypse. Fortunately, things are not so bad now.

Chang Jiamu wasn't the only one posting cooking tasks on the bulletin board. Chen Si and Zheng Lin also didn't have much cooking skill. Zheng Lin was a little better than the others, as he could occasionally mooch a meal from his sister.

However, Zheng Lin doesn't like going to his sister's place anymore. His sister found him a brother-in-law, and even though that brother-in-law is Mingzhang, whom he admires the most, Zheng Lin is a little unhappy with his brother-in-law for a while.

Eating with them made me feel like I was consuming more dog food than actual food. He's still young and can't stand this kind of cloying, overly sweet stuff.

"I heard there are people selling small cakes in District 13 of the base. Do you want to go and buy some to try?" Zheng Lin, who was well-informed, asked the other two.

Chen Si asked curiously, "What is a cake?"

Zheng Lin then remembered that Chen Si had only been a human for a short time and hadn't seen many things. In addition, it was the apocalypse, and people outside were struggling to make ends meet, so they couldn't afford to eat cake.

Not to mention Chen Si, even Zheng Lin and Chang Jiamu hadn't eaten cake in a long time. Zheng Lin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go take a look, it's on me."

Upon hearing that he was going to treat her, Chang Jiamu was polite for a moment, but Chen Si was not polite at all. She knew that Zheng Lin had much more universal currency in his ability ring than she did.

Casey's small cakes are now open. Because they are inexpensive and the ingredients are purchased directly from the base store, people feel reassured and want to try them.

The main reason is that after the apocalypse, they haven't been able to eat these snacks for too long. Although it's just a bread and cake shop, they are still happy to join in the fun and comfort their parched mouths.

His family's small cake business is doing quite well. A cake with cream only costs seventy-eight universal coins, which seems like a lot at first glance, but they all know how expensive it is to exchange for ingredients at the base now.

The ingredients for such a small cake would cost at least fifty universal coins, so they can understand if the price is a bit higher.

Other items in the base are not expensive. For example, the granular buttons for water-type abilities or fire-type abilities can be purchased with just one universal coin.

However, the only thing within the base that is expensive is food. This is partly to control the outflow of food and partly to prevent people within the base from hoarding large quantities of food.

Therefore, when Casey and her friends opened their cake shop, they had to go through multiple layers of approval before they were qualified to purchase ingredients; otherwise, the amount of ingredients each person could purchase each day would be limited.

This is also to prevent people from hoarding large quantities of food when it is not scarce, and then selling it at high prices when food becomes scarce later. This situation must be nipped in the bud.

When Chang Jiamu saw the price of the small cake, he was shocked. It was seventy-eight universal coins. If Zheng Lin wanted to treat him, it would cost a full two hundred and thirty-four universal coins!
