While Du Yue was still thinking about these things, Xia Ju had already continued wolfing down her food. Hearing Xia Ju’s urging voice, Du Yue and He Xing picked up their chopsticks and continued eating. The table was full of dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious. Although Du Yue was a little surprised by the news she had just heard from Xia Ju, it was not enough to affect her appetite. The three of them began to bury their heads in their food. No one spoke again. Soon, the table was emptied. After she finished eating, Xia Ju picked up the bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen without stopping. “You two sit down and rest for a while. I’ll clean up the table.”

Du Yue did not stand on ceremony with her and let her clean up the dishes by herself. She understood Xia Ju’s thoughts. She felt that she and He Xing were the only ones cooking, so she wanted to wash the dishes. This way, it could be considered a fair distribution of housework.

Sitting at the dining table, Du Yue took out a wet towel and wiped her mouth. “Xia Zhixing is definitely not simple. She must not be an ordinary person.”

He Xing nodded. “Yes, she’s very good at finding people.”

It was just like how Xia Zhixing had never met them but somehow knew that they were the ones who killed the celestial lord. The two of them thought that Xia Zhixing might have a special ability to find people, but they did not plan to continue to investigate. Everyone had their own secrets. As long as Xia Zhixing did not affect them, Du Yue would not poke her nose into other people’s secrets.

After Xia Ju washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen, Du Yue told her that He Xing and she had decided to start farming. Xia Ju had never done farm work before. After hearing Du Yue’s words, she seemed excited. “Really? Is it fun to farm?”

Du Yue sighed helplessly. “Farming is not fun. Farming is very hard.”

No one farmed for fun. If it was not for survival or to fill their stomachs, Du Yue believed that no one would be willing to get up early and work late every day.

Especially now, not only was the harvest sharply reduced compared to before, but there was also no agricultural machinery to assist. Most of them relied on manpower, thus farming became even more difficult.

After Du Yue finished speaking, she saw Xia Ju’s expression clearly become disappointed. “Since it’s not fun, why are we still farming?”

Du Yue added lightly, “The fragrant rice and big buns you eat are all grains that can only be obtained by farming.”

When Xia Ju heard this, she did not hesitate to vote. “Then let’s farm! I love eating rice and big buns!” Indeed, in the eyes of a foodie, nothing was more important than food!

Since the three of them had no objections to farming, they went back to their rooms to change their clothes and drove out together. Fortunately, He Xing had already investigated the situation yesterday, so they could go straight to the Seed Station. There was no need to look for the place.

In the Seed Station of the fourth base, besides seeds, they also sold grains. Therefore, there were many people coming in and out. When Du Yue and Xia Ju went in, the staff members were still busy and did not have time to greet them. The two of them walked around the shop casually. No matter what Xia Ju saw, she looked curious. “I have a question. Since there’s no common currency in this base, how do they pay for food? You can’t buy wheat with rice, right?” Du Yue was staring at the counter when she heard Xia Ju’s question. She was stunned.

Before this, she had never thought about this question. “I don’t know either, but we can ask the staff directly.”

After saying that, Du Yue walked toward the counter. Xia Ju was also very curious, so she hurriedly followed. The counter was made of glass, so she could clearly see what was inside. There were a few kinds of food inside, but there were not many of them. The quality seemed to be very average. As for the seeds, Du Yue could not find them after searching the shop. Just as she was staring, someone called out to her, “Beauty, I saw you over there just no. I think that you look quite pretty, and your friend too. Are you here to buy food? Let’s be friends. I can buy some for you.”

Du Yue was concentrating on the food in the counter when she suddenly heard a greasy middle-aged man’s voice behind her. She subconsciously turned around. Standing behind Du Yue was a short and fat man. At a glance, he looked like he had a greasy face. It seemed that he had been eating well. In the current era where resources were so scarce and everyone could not eat their fill, it was really not easy to maintain such a plump figure, especially when most people were skin and bones..
