Chapter 91 A rich harvest from hunting

When a live bird died, a new one was caught. When a live bird died, a new one was caught. There were about a hundred live birds that were still alive. They were put in more than twenty iron cages, which could just fit on the roofs of several off-road vehicles. If a few more cages were brought, they would not be able to take them away. The bird eggs they picked up were even packed in baskets.

If Ye Na's space was not large enough and could keep food fresh, who would dare to hunt without wasting ammunition? The logistics team members who have space can only carry limited boxes and ice packs.

So they broke camp and left.

Ye Na also got a chance to drive a tracked vehicle out of the muddy area.

On the return trip, Captain Pan took the lead car, Captain Liu followed the rear, and Ye Nai still followed the lead car, she was driving.

Everyone had ridden in her car these past few days, but the distances were short, just going back to the camp from the hunting grounds.

This was the first time she was asked to drive 20 or 30 kilometers until she changed to an off-road vehicle.

Ye Nai drove very seriously, and she performed perfectly as the lead car in the team. Her speed was stable, not sometimes fast or sometimes slow, like a veteran who had been driving for many years. But in the past few days everyone knew that she had a hobby of racing, and everyone in the car was surprised.

"Ye Zi is a natural at driving. I thought you would not be able to resist and step on the accelerator again."

"If I were alone, I would definitely go speeding. Can you still call it driving if you don't go speeding in such an open space?"

"If you put it that way, I, as a passenger, will feel relieved."

"Haha~"

The whole team changed to off-road vehicles and continued on their journey. When they set up camp at night, Ye Na had another chance to learn by touching the vehicle. Compared with the tracked vehicle, the operation was slightly different, so she had to practice before she knew how to drive a different vehicle.

After driving in the wilderness for a few days and practicing driving for a few days, Ye Nai stopped touching the car after getting on the highway and became a good passenger.

After returning to Danger Zone No. 5 and handing in the prey he brought back and resting for two days, Ye Nai received a message and met up with Captains Liu and Pan to collect his bonus.

The prize was a large piece of giant frog skin, enough to make a pair of leather boots.

There were also ten pounds of frog leg meat and five pure bird meats with the hair, bones and internal organs removed, which were the same pure meat left for her by the mycelium.

All the team members involved in this mission are here.

The prey they brought back was enough. Except for the small amount needed by the researchers, the remaining amount was enough to feed the soldiers in the barracks for a week.

The only edible part of the giant frog is its legs, and everyone was very happy that so much meat could be peeled off from the water bird. They planned to eat it first and save the rest for a main dish during the New Year.

After receiving the things from the cold storage, as they were walking out together, Captain Liu cleared his throat and began to probe, wanting to know Ye Na's plans for the New Year.

"Ye Zi, are you going to travel during the New Year?"

"No, traveling during the Chinese New Year is crowded with people everywhere. I'd rather sleep in at home."

"Then why don't you join us for the New Year's Eve dinner? We'll have a chef to cook for us."

"Chef? There's a chef in the kitchen? A certified chef? Won't his skills deteriorate?"

Ye Nai didn't believe it at all. If he was really a chef, he would have been assigned to cook for the small kitchen when he first joined the army. His cooking skills would have deteriorated if he cooked in the big pot every day.

"During the Chinese New Year, the higher-ups will send chefs down here. We have fresh ingredients, so we can try to get a chef with a first-class chef certificate to cook for us."

"Okay!" Ye Nai's eyes lit up, and her mouth was full of saliva. "Then I will definitely come! I have never tasted the cooking of a first-class chef!"

"Then it's settled."

Young people who left home right after graduation to work and live independently have no desire to go home for reunion on such an important day as the Chinese New Year. It is obvious that the eldest sister in a large family has awakened. People who know her family situation feel reassured. Ye Na has trained to the beginner level of level 2. If she goes home and is angry, she probably won't hold it in like before. Ordinary people in the family can't withstand a few punches from her.

She took the initiative to cut off ties with her bad family. She had no spouse, no children, no public office, and no military service. She was just an ordinary civilian without any constraints. This was terrible. No one wanted to see her in an environment that would stimulate her.

After returning home, Ye Na took a photo of the meat she got and sent it to Brother Peng.

Brother Peng replied quickly, as if he had been waiting by the phone. [Is this the prey you caught this time?]

[Yes, ten pounds of frog leg meat and five clean bird meats. I'll keep two pounds of meat and one bird. Do you want the rest? ]

【Would you like to stay a little longer?】

[No, just try it. There are chefs in the New Year camp who can cook better than me. Besides, I can go into the secret realm again in the future. The value of giant frog skin is quite high. It will definitely become a long-term hunting task.]

[Okay, I'm stewing meat now, please come to me with a lunch box in the afternoon.]

【Great! 】

In the afternoon, Ye Nai ran to Brother Peng's house and not only sold the exotic beast meat for a good price, but also packed a lunch box of stewed meat with wine.

It was stewed entirely with wine, without adding a drop of water. After the alcohol evaporated, a delicious flavor was left in the meat. Brother Peng gave her a full box. She ate a few pieces on the spot and couldn't help licking her fingers.

"Wow, Brother Peng, you are really good at cooking. Make some Baijimo, chop the meat into small pieces, and make Roujiamo. It's really great."

"You are quite good at eating. Baijimo is really sold on the street."

"Where is it? I don't see it at the breakfast shop I usually go to."

"There is more than one gate in this community. If you go to the back, there is another gate. If you go out from there, there is a steamed bun shop that sells Baiji steamed buns. The steamed buns made by that shop are quite good. Several roujiamo shops around here buy steamed buns from them."

"Okay."

Ye Nai followed the route taught by Brother Peng and indeed bought freshly baked Baiji steamed buns. She went home and used the wine in the lunch box to stew the meat and made roujiamo. She felt completely satisfied when she took a bite of it.

When she bought the steamed buns, she observed and saw several stores that often received takeout orders. Then she realized that she had been a customer of this street for a long time, but she had never known that the community also had a gate here. No wonder the takeout sometimes arrived so quickly.

She was enjoying her meal when the phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was her mother.

Ye Na was quite surprised. This was the first time she received a call from home after being away for several months.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Hey, Ye Na, are you going home for New Year's Day?"

"No return."

"Why not go back? Come back. Your grandparents have gone back. There is a place for you at home."

"Oh, if you don't want to go back, I'll give you 800 yuan for the holidays."

"Ah? Only eight hundred? Uh, no, you've been gone for a few months, come back on New Year's Day so we can see how you're doing."

"I spend as much as I earn, and it's a good thing for a person."

"You spend as much as you earn, and you can't save a little money? That won't work. You're already a grown-up, you need to save money for your marriage. There are a few families in our neighborhood who want to sell their houses. Do you want to come back and take a look? If you buy a house near your parents, we can take care of you on a daily basis, right?"

"I'm working outside, and I spent hundreds of thousands to buy a house that I can't even live in. Am I sick? Is that how you buy things? You called me out of the blue, what on earth do you want to do? Tell me the truth."

"Nothing, you've been away from home for a few months, and I wanted to see you and have a meal as a family."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"After dinner, would you like to sit at home?"

"Have you finished sitting?"

"After you sit down..."
