81 The Fragrant Hare Hotpot

Du Yue nodded and pointed at the boxes by her feet. “These are what I told you about before. I’ve taken some of all the things. Take a look and see which ones you want.” If they were to stand in the corridor and talk, even if their voices were not loud, it was very likely that they would be heard downstairs. In order to avoid being targeted like before, Du Yue did not mention the word ‘hare meat’ directly. She only hinted at it since He Xing would definitely understand.

He Xing came to a realization and quickly walked forward.”Alright, let me see what’s in here.” Du Yue bent over and opened each box for He Xing to take a look. He Xing’s gaze swept over each box, and he finally said heroically, “I’ll take all these!”

After saying that, He Xing looked at Du Yue hesitantly. “I’m taking them all. Do you have any left?”

“Yes, there’s no need to worry about me.” The thing she did not lack the most was food! He Xing was relieved to hear Du Yue’s answer. Du Yue helped He Xing move the boxes, which took three rounds. They finally managed to move all the boxes into He Xing’s living room.

He Xing counted the boxes and found that there were 60 bags of hare meat in total. “I’ll give you a total of 300 bullets. What do you think?”

Previously, when he bought them with gold, one bullet was five grams of gold, so 300 bullets would be 1,500 grams of gold. According to the price of gold before the apocalypse, which was about 400 yuan per gram, 1,500 grams were worth 600,000 yuan. If it had been before the apocalypse, it would not have been a problem to buy a hare factory.

However, it was no longer the same as before the apocalypse. It had been more than a year since the apocalypse began, and food was now more expensive than gold. There were still people who had a lot of gold in their hands, but if they wanted to use gold to exchange for food with others, not many people were willing to do it.

Therefore, He Xing and Du Yue could not tell who had taken advantage of the other party in this deal. However, as long as the two of them did not feel like they were at a disadvantage, then there was no problem at all. Therefore, Du Yue did not decline and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that she had no objections, He Xing turned around and went back to his bedroom. Two minutes later, he came out with a small box. “Count them. There are exactly 300 bullets here.”

Du Yue took the box and counted the bullets in front of He Xing. Just as He Xing had said, there were exactly 300 bullets in it. After she finished counting, she closed the box and said, “The number is correct. I’ll go home first. You should hurry into your house too!”

The two of them had been freezing in the ice and snow for an entire day. Even though they had made sufficient preparations and were not frostbitten, they still needed to take a break.

After returning home, Du Yue went to the bathroom. She had not even gone to the bathroom or changed out of her coat while waiting for He Xing to return. Now that she had given He Xing everything, Du Yue returned to the warm bedroom and changed her coat into comfortable pajamas.

At home, it was more comfortable to wear pajamas. Du Yue took out her tablet and played an old movie. She then took out a pot of rabbit hotpot from her interspace. She had been dealing with hare meat the whole day and was already craving it. She had ordered the hare hotpot from a restaurant. It took less than half an hour for the food to go from the restaurant’s kitchen to her interspace. Now that she had taken it out to eat, it tasted exactly the same as the freshly cooked food in the restaurant.

There was a lot of chili and pepper in the hare hotpot. It looked red and very tempting. It tasted spicy and fresh too. Du Yue seized the time to eat, not daring to dawdle too much. After the extreme cold descended, the first skill she learned was to eat quickly. Even if the house was heated, the temperature was still only about 10 degrees. If she ate too slowly, the food would become cold before she was full.

As she thought that she could not eat much at a time, Du Yue had specially ordered a small portion. Therefore, she could finish it all by herself without wasting anything. The main course to eat with hare hotpot was a simple bowl of rice.

In fact, if she could cook some noodles in the hare hotpot, that would be the best combination. However, if the noodles were to be cooked on fire, the aroma would be too strong. When it was extremely hot previously, the entire house was airtight, so Du Yue was not worried that the smell would spread. However, there was a furnace burning in the room. Although there was a smoke pipe, she had deliberately left a small gap in the window for ventilation in case of any accidents.
