Chapter 74: Real Seafood

After discovering this phenomenon, Qi Yuan immediately ordered the tree bee queen and black tiger bee queen to control the bee swarm and stay away from the area guarding the thorns.

Avoid conflicts with Guardian Thorns.

After everything was arranged, he returned to the shelter with peace of mind.

Back in the yard, passing by the empty pond, Qi Yuan thought of the fish he caught today, so he filled the pond with water again.

Put all the fish, shrimps, crabs, and turtles caught today in it.

At the same time, white pine sand and algae were also put in to optimize the ecological environment of the pond.

Because there are no oxygen-increasing tools, they can only be cultured for a short period of time. Over time, they will die easily.

But it is a good-level animal after all, so it shouldn't die that easily.

Especially crabs, shrimps, and turtles can come out of the water to breathe oxygen, and their survival rate is still very high.

As for these ordinary-level fish, Qi Yuan didn't care too much.

Originally, Qi Yuan planned to have a full crab dinner today, but because of what happened at the secondary shelter, Qi Yuan didn't have the thought.

He simply asked Chu Wenxi to make some food, then ended the day hastily and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

However, the matter of the 꾫-shaped beast has always been on Qi Yuan's mind, as if he was choking, and he could never let go.

At night, I was lying in bed, tossing and turning, but still couldn't fall asleep.

The scene in the secondary shelter, Gao Hanzhi's broken body, the big drag marks... kept tumbling in my mind!

Finally, Qi Yuan made a decision, took out the "Mist Survival Manual" and sent a message to Qin Zhenjun.

Qin Zhenjun had just fallen asleep. After reading the message, worry immediately condensed on his brows. After thinking for a moment, he calmly replied: "Okay, you can go ahead and do it. I'll be there tomorrow."

…

The whole night was silent, with light snow falling and a biting cold wind.

On the morning of the next day, Qi Yuan woke up from bed at around 1 o'clock and braved the cold.

Walking out of the bedroom, the fireplace in the living room was still on, with two sticks of charcoal burning inside.

There was a small bed in front of the fireplace, and Chu Wenxi and Zhou Yue were curled up together.

Qi Yuan did not wake them up, but added some charcoal to the fireplace, then sat in the living room and took out the "Mist Survival Manual".

I found the private chat channels of Yang Zhenghe and Zhao Cheng and sent them messages respectively.

Because 녤뀪 hadn't gotten up yet, he didn't expect the two of them to reply to the message very quickly.

Yang Zhenghe: "Brother Qi Yuan, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner?"

Qi Yuan: "The cold wave is over, let's meet and talk about cooperation. My name is Zhao Cheng, too."

Yang Zhenghe was a little hesitant. After all, the safety of using the teleportation scroll was not guaranteed.

Later, Yang Zhenghe took the initiative to send an alliance scroll and said: "If you really want to deepen the alliance, we can sign this."

Looking at the message sent by Yang Zhenghe, Qi Yuan smiled and traded a filled-in alliance scroll.

"I'm ready, just sign it."

Ally Scroll! Qi Yuan had already prepared it yesterday, and today he just wanted to take a look at Yang Zhenghe's attitude. He seems very satisfied now.

Yang Zhenghe does have a sincere attitude and is willing to deepen his cooperation with Qi Yuan.

After Yang Zhenghe signed the alliance scroll, the alliance between the two was successfully bound.

Qi Yuan sent a message: "Come over in a moment and treat you to seafood."

"Serious?"

Qi Yuan twitched his face and chose to ignore it.

…

On the other side, Zhao Cheng's reaction was similar.

"Brother Qi Yuan, why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner? You make me a little panicked!"

Zhao Cheng was more honest and expressed his worries directly.

Qi Yuan replied: "I want to have a chat, and I'll treat you to a meal by the way. Yes, Yang Zhenghe is here too."

"Brother Yang is coming too? But this..."

Although Zhao Cheng was moved, he still had concerns.

Seeing his hesitation, Qi Yuan continued: "Why, are you still afraid that I will eat you?"

"This..." Zhao Cheng sighed, neither wanting to offend Qi Yuan nor putting himself in danger.

So, after struggling for a long time, Zhao Cheng replied: "Brother Qi Yuan, it's not that I don't trust you, but I really don't dare to go. Let's sign the alliance scroll."

Seeing the ally scroll, Qi Yuan was relieved and sent the prepared ally scroll directly.

Seeing that Qi Yuan was prepared, Zhao Cheng was relieved.

"Brother Qi Yuan, aren't you ready? Why are you scaring me?"

"It's okay. I'll come over for dinner later. Can I treat you to some seafood?" Qi Yuan replied, still smiling.

But when I saw Zhao Cheng's reply, I was speechless for a moment.

Zhao Cheng: "Seafood? Is there any abalone? If not, I'll bring two, hehe."

"roll."

Opposite the "Mist Survival Manual", only Zhao Cheng was left with a confused look on his face, not knowing what he said wrong.

…

The conversation with the two people was also a test for them.

On the one hand, test whether they really want to form an alliance with you.

After all, the Ally Scroll is an excellent item and is very expensive. Only the strongest people can obtain it.

If they don't have an ally scroll, it means their strength is average.

If they are unwilling to take the initiative to form an alliance with the 뇾Ally Scroll, it means that they have little intention to form an alliance.

Fortunately, both of them took the initiative to take out the alliance scrolls and were willing to form an alliance with themselves.

땤 Qi Yuan took out the ally scroll he had prepared in advance, which was to show his attitude and tell them: Don't worry, I also came with sincerity!

During the process, Qi Yuan also specifically told Yang Zhenghe that Zhao Cheng was back.

He also told Zhao Cheng that he also invited Yang Zhenghe.

This was Qi Yuan testing the relationship between the two.

If Yang Zhenghe and Zhao Cheng were too close, it would also be disadvantageous for future actions.

But from the results, the two were not actually familiar with each other.

If the two had a good relationship, when Qi Yuan told Zhao Cheng that Yang Zhenghe was back, he would definitely contact Yang Zhenghe as soon as possible, instead of hesitating for so long.

Of course, Qi Yuan did not think that his considerations were necessarily comprehensive. But he still tried his best to screen future allies.

After contacting the two, Qi Yuan got up and began to prepare seafood ingredients.

At this time, Chu Wenxi and Zhou Yue had also woken up. Qi Yuan naturally would not give up these two laborers.

Today's ingredients include blue crabs the size of millstones, blue prawns, meat steaks, Qingyue algae, and noodles.

All ingredients are of good quality and extremely rare.

Qi Yuan attaches great importance to this conversation, which is related to future development.

Soon, Chu Wenxi and Zhou Yue began to get busy, washing various ingredients and preparing tableware.

The crab legs have been cut off, put in a wooden basin, and chilled with ice cubes.

The crab body has been opened, and the crab shell is extremely hard. Qi Yuan kept it, and he might be able to get it later.

Put the remaining crab body in the pot and steam it, then take out all the crab meat and pour it on the cooked noodles.

The sweetness of the crab body, plus the salty and fragrant crab roe, is the most delicious food without any seasoning.

Add chopped Qingyue Algae to add flavor, making the crab roe noodles more layered.

Five blue prawns were taken out, each pierced with a bamboo stick, and the shrimp body was fully stretched out, a full 20 cm long.

Finally, it was the good-grade steak.

The steak was placed outside the house yesterday, and after a night of freezing, it was frozen hard.

After Qi Yuan's fine knife skills, it was cut into very thin slices and placed in a wooden bowl on the side.

At the same time, Chu Wenxi had prepared the tableware.

In the living room, there was an iron grill and a large iron pot.

The red charcoal on the grill emitted wisps of green smoke, and the scorching temperature made the air seem unreal.

The iron pot next to it was also placed on the charcoal fire. The chicken soup cooked with pheasant was already boiling, making a "gurgling" sound and emitting a very tempting aroma.
