Chapter 6434 Not Rich
It was only about five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still time to dig up some wild vegetables nearby. Wei Tuo carried a basket on his back, and Luo Bi carried a basket as they went out.
Luo Bi prefers to carry things, rather than wearing a basket on her back, because it hurts her shoulders. If she carries something heavy, she can put it down to rest and walk around. But carrying a basket on her back is too much trouble.
Outside the safe zone, there are wild vegetables on the edge of the mountains. Children, women, and pregnant women like to dig for wild vegetables and mushrooms.
They had searched almost the edge of the safe zone. Luo Bi and Wei Tuo, being newcomers, didn't dare to go into the mountains. They dug up some wild vegetables and found two small orange mushrooms to take back.
We picked and chose the wild vegetables, and only managed to dig up a small half-basket. On the way back, we saw women and children with big and small baskets and bags on their backs, and their harvest looked much bigger.
Back home, Luo Bi picked vegetables, while Wei Tu marinated the exotic beast meat.
Despite her small size, Wei Tuo was very diligent. While grilling meat, she also had to run to help Luo Bi pick vegetables. There was no way around it; Luo Bi was very slow at picking vegetables, and by the time she had picked all the wild vegetables, it would be pitch black.
Choose half of the wild vegetables, and eat the other half tomorrow morning.
After selecting the wild vegetables, Wei Tu washed and steamed them, while Luo Bi peeled garlic. She then remembered Zhu Xingrong: "Zhu Xingrong's steamed wild vegetables are delicious."
Wei Tong immediately tapped on the communication button: "I'll ask him how to steam wild vegetables."
"No!" Luo Bi hurriedly stopped her. "Bai Yanyan's harem-building system will detect her past. Zhu Xiang and Zhu Kai are both high-level, strong-gene Thunderflame Warriors with good looks and abilities."
Who's blind? Nobody's blind. Even a pale-faced man who looks good is pleasing to the eye to others! This kind of high-level, strong-gene Thunderflame Warrior stands out in a crowd.
Even a blind man could tell who Bai Yanyan might have her eye on.
“You can figure out how to steam wild vegetables yourself,” Luo Bi said.
Anyway, she's not good at it. Luo Bi didn't steam many wild vegetables, and when she did, they were barely cooked.
Wei Tong stopped dialing: "Why don't you steam some wild vegetables?"
Luo Bi retorted irritably, "I'm not even as good as you."
Wei Tuo had no choice but to figure out how to steam the wild vegetables. First, she drained the water and put the drain basket in place. Then, Wei Tuo ran to the grill to sprinkle spices on the roasted meat. The nutritious and energy-boosting seasoning that Feng Ling had sent was not much, so she had to use it sparingly.
As evening approached, the wind picked up, and Luo Bi and Wei Tuo hoped for rain, enjoying their meal while watching the rain fall.
As it turned out, it didn't rain, only the wind blew, which made it much cooler.
They didn't dig up many wild vegetables, and even saved half for later. Therefore, there weren't many steamed wild vegetables. Luo Bi served them to herself and ate them. Wei Tu ate roasted meat, but Luo Bi didn't care to eat any.
The next morning it drizzled a little, but the heavy rain didn't stop the construction robots from working. In the middle of the morning, Luo Bi and Wei Tuo left the safe zone again and dug up a large bunch of wild vegetables on the edge, but they didn't find any mushrooms.
The two went out for two consecutive days, and several nearby families knew about their family. They were an ordinary family, not wealthy, but their yard was quite large. Judging from the outline, it was just a house with a small courtyard.
How can you tell they're not well-off? Look at their clothes, and how they spend all their time going out to dig for wild vegetables.
The families in the neighborhood are all from prominent families. Seeing that Luo Bi and Wei Tuo go out to dig wild vegetables almost every meal, they know that they don't have any interstellar currency and are simply living off the land.
Some of these families collect wild vegetables, and they even sell the excess they find.
If they are both prominent families, then a visit is possible, but there's no need for that.
These families had large courtyards, a stark contrast to Luo Bi and Wei Tuo's small, sprawling houses. Luo Bi, oblivious to their surroundings, would simply walk past them whenever she passed by. (End of Chapter)
