Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Concealment
In the new base, the fact that there was a convenience store spread through the villa district almost overnight.
It was said that not only could you buy food there, but they even had large pancakes made from white flour;
It was said that the owner was a Space Element Ability User and that he had many items in his space;
It was said that the goods were sold in limited quantities each day, and if you were late, there wouldn’t be anything left…
So the next day, early in the morning, many people came to exchange crystal cores for goods, but the variety of items currently for sale in the shop wasn’t very extensive, so Guo Yang had to tell everyone that they were still perfecting the range.
The pancakes sold out incredibly fast, and Guo Yang even began to worry about how many pancakes Su Jin had in her space, wondering what to feature next if the pancakes ran out.
Just as the shop closed for the day and he returned to the villa, he discovered the problem he had been worried about had already been solved by Su Jin’s family!
Su Jin and Lu Hao were actually in the kitchen cooking!
Moreover, it looked like they were done cooking, and they had even packaged some of the food in vacuum-sealed bags.
“Captain Lu, what are you doing…”
Shi Jin was surprised to see Captain Lu, wearing an apron, actually bringing out a basket of pancakes?
These pancakes were clearly freshly made and were still steaming.
The kitchen was also fully equipped with frying pans and cookware.
“We’re cooking food to sell,” Lu Hao said seriously.
So they no longer have to worry about having nothing to sell? Guo Yang felt that this surprise came too suddenly.
“What kind of meat is this?” Xue Wanyi asked, standing at the kitchen door and looking at the big pot full of meat, wondering if it was meat that Su Jin had bought previously from her space?
“It’s the meat from the mutated wild boar we fought last time. Let Guo Yang take some to sell tomorrow to see how it goes,” Su Jin said with a smile.
It then dawned on Xue Wanyi that they had slain so many mutated wild boars last time and hadn’t dealt with them yet. Fortunately, Su Jin’s space could keep things fresh.
They walked toward the yard and indeed found a large basin there, filled with the remnants of the wild boars they had processed.
Seeing this scene, Guo Yang and the others did not harbor any excessive doubts. No wonder the family hadn’t gone to the shop today; they had been preparing things. It had indeed been a lot of hard work.
Su Jin and Lu Hao, being complimented, did not change their expressions; in reality, these were all items Su Jin had taken out of her space, prepared jointly with Lin Yunguo in the space. They had come up with this strategy just to keep the secret of the space safe within the family.
The secret of the space could only be known to family members; this was Su Jin’s bottom line.
She would not expose her space just to run a shop well. She could still tell what was more important.
Guo Yang and the others knew that Su Jin had stored the dead wild boar in her space. If Su Jin had simply brought out a basin of processed wild boar meat, it would have aroused suspicion.
Moreover, in the future, they would have more meat from mutant animals to sell. If they could only prepare it outside, it would be a waste of time, not to mention that they were also not very good at cooking.
“What if we pretend it was made outside?” In the space, Lu Hao voiced his idea.
Because of the shop, Guo Yang and the others spent most of their time there now. They just had to say they had processed the wild boar meat in the villa and make a little disguise so they wouldn’t be discovered.
“I think it’s feasible, as long as Xiao Jin transforms into the ‘Head Chef’,” Mao Zhihang analyzed.
After all, it’s usually they who are here in the main house, and the kitchen is enclosed, with the whole family helping to cover up, the chances of being suspected are very small.
And the person who will be doing the cooking is naturally Su Jin, as she is the master of the Space and it’s convenient for her to take and place things in and out of it.
“It doesn’t sound difficult at all, I agree!” Lu Guanhai raised both hands in support, thinking it sounded rather fun.
“Don’t worry, Xiao Jin, nothing will go wrong,” Grandma Li Xiuying said.
If the whole family is out there covering for her, there won’t be any giveaway. Moreover, although she hasn’t met all of Su Jin’s teammates, from the things Lin Xiuyuan has mentioned on a daily basis, those teammates don’t seem like the kind to suspect them.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Su Jin nodded her head, as it seemed this was the only way now.
With her family’s “help,” Su Jin quickly became the newly promoted Head Chef. Today, with some spare time, everyone in the space dealt with the wild boars; the nasty bits were also disposed of by Su Jin into a large basin and placed in the villa’s yard, so to anyone else, it would appear they were processing the wild boar right there in the yard.
The real Head Chef was naturally Grandpa Lin Yunguo, who tried various methods and finally managed to make the tough Mutated wild boar meat taste like how pork should, although the taste was still far inferior to that of the pork in the space.
But Su Jin said it was already very good, better than any meat from mutant animals she had eaten in her previous life.
After these Mutated wild boar meats were cooked, Su Jin brought them out of the space, just in time to cool down outside. After cooling, they had to be packed into vacuum bags, so they could be preserved for a few days even if left outside. Moreover, Lin Yunguo turned the boar meat into cured meat and sausages, which could last a long time even without vacuum packing.
So there you have what Guo Yang and others saw when they returned.
Guo Yang thought Su Jin was really impressive, the flatbread she made tasted just the same as the ones sold previously!
Perhaps those sold before were also pre-made by them before the Apocalypse, and Guo Yang suddenly realized, Su Jin really is a Head Chef!
Seeing that Guo Yang and the others didn’t suspect a thing, Su Jin and her group finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although deceiving wasn’t their intention, since a little concealment wouldn’t negatively impact them, to keep the secret of the Space, they had no choice but to do so.
Just then, Mao Qiqi suddenly stood up from the couch and said, “Sister Xiao Jin, there’s someone at the door.”
The sound of Mao Qiqi’s voice had barely faded when the door was knocked.
Who could it be this late?
Lu Hao walked over and opened the door, only to find no one there, just a large box at the doorstep.
The box wasn’t sealed, and when Lu Hao bent down to open it, he found a printer inside!
“It’s Liang Jiuhui,” Lu Hao said, looking at the signature inside the box.
It was then that Su Jin understood why Liang Jiuhui had asked her earlier if she was short of a printer, never expecting he would just send them one directly!
“Wow, our future Base Leader is really taking care of us,” Lin Xiuyuan exclaimed; had they unconsciously grasped a golden thigh?
“Don’t talk nonsense; it’s okay to say that at home, but don’t say it outside,” Huang Yunxiang cautioned. It’s better not to let others hear such talk. After all, Liang Jiuhui isn’t the Base Leader yet, and perhaps he had the stuff left at the door and left just to avoid drawing attention.
“Got it, Mom,” Lin Xiuyuan said helplessly.
In fact, everyone in the base had long guessed that Liang Jiuhui would undoubtedly be the Base Leader in the future. Not only did he have leadership skills, he was also a Level Two Thunder Element, and his father, Liang Wei, had many supporters. Could there be a second suitable candidate for the position of Base Leader?
