Chapter 362: Wan Dapeng Leaves the Treatment Chamber
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although it still felt a little surreal, she listened to Lu Xun and went to the elevator door to wait. Lu Xun found An Wu and hesitantly told him that he wanted to send the lunch box down. Unexpectedly, An Wu was very easy to talk to and agreed directly. Lu Xun hurriedly took the lunch box and went out. Without being stopped by the gatekeeper, he successfully put the lunch box and the car keys into the elevator.
Two minutes later, his phone vibrated. Yu Xinya told him that she had already gotten the car keys and food. However, she did not intend to return to the small courtyard directly. After thinking about it, she still decided to stay here with Wan Dapeng until after dinner. Then, she would come back before breakfast the next morning. She would repeat this routine this week. Although it was a little hard, Yu Xinya did not mind at all. To be able to let everyone in the small courtyard eat such nutritious food, she was willing no matter how hard she worked!
Although it could not be guaranteed that the people in the small courtyard would be full every meal, they would still be satisfied if they were 60% to 70% full. When they were in the second base, they had accumulated a lot of seafood. Even after such a long time, they still had a lot of seafood left. They could occasionally take it out to eat. However, they had not eaten meat, fresh fruits, and vegetables for a long time. When they were in Haidao City, they could occasionally bring seafood to the second base to exchange for some canned fruits or dried vegetables. However, after they came here, they had to spend money to rent a house and farm. They could not go out to sea to fish either.
Even though the third base had meat, fruits, and vegetables, they did not want to spend extra money on those things. Their thoughts were very simple. As long as they could fill their stomachs and survive, it did not matter if they had fruits and vegetables to eat.
However, the effects of not eating vegetables for a long time were not as simple as they thought. The lack of vitamins in the body would have a great impact on health, and the most common effect was constipation. Those who had never experienced the pain of not being able to poop could not understand it. It was also because of this that Lu Xun and Yu Xinya were so excited when they saw the food. It was precisely because it was difficult for everyone to eat fresh vegetables that the pickles that Wan Dapeng brought back from the city became particularly popular, and the price also rose again and again.
Ajar of pickled vegetables could be sold for 350 contribution points at its most expensive. Although the price was very high, Yu Xinya and the others were not willing to sell all of them. Previously, they gave Du Yue a jar. If it was not for the fact that they really did not have the money to treat Wan Dapeng, they would not have given out another jar.
A jar of pickled vegetables that was half the height of a person was enough for the people in their small courtyard to eat for a long time! As for whether eating too much pickled vegetables would affect or harm the body, no one cared at all. If they did not eat leafy vegetables for a long time, their bodies would not be able to take it. Moreover, the beneficial bacteria in the pickled vegetables could help people who lacked vitamins to have smoother bowel movements.
An Wu also accompanied Xia Ju in the afternoon. As he stayed behind, dinner consisted of seven dishes and one soup. After learning that Du Yue could make all kinds of desserts and noodles, An Wu said that he had already instructed someone to send equipment and ingredients tomorrow so that Du Yue could make desserts for Xia Ju. He wanted to make some Asian and Western desserts to see which ones Xia Ju liked better. An Wu’s subordinates were just as swift and decisive as him. Early the next morning, someone sent the ingredients and equipment over.
Du Yue became more and more curious. It had been a few years since the apocalypse. How could An Wu still get these things? However, she did not care too much about it. It was such a blissful thing to be able to cook food openly!
Du Yue and He Xing were really immersed in their work. Every day, they would cook all lands of dishes and snacks. After they were done, the food was divided into two portions. One portion was sent to Xia Ju, and the other portion was left for the three of them to eat. However, it was uncertain if Xia Ju had a small appetite or she was in a bad mood, she did not eat much of the food and desserts that were sent over every time. Du Yue would take them off the table intact. The rest of the food was sent to Yu Xinya, who then brought it back to the small courtyard to satisfy everyone’s cravings.
A week passed quickly, and it was finally time for Wan Dapeng to come out of the treatment chamber. Early that morning, An Wu, who had not been here for three to four days, appeared again. He even brought Xia Ju out of the room. When they passed by the kitchen door, An Wu went in and called out to Du Yue and He Xing. “The man lying in the treatment chamber is your friend, right? He’s leaving the chamber today. You can visit him..”
