The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Seventy-Eight)

Delicious grilled meat is of course inseparable from crisp lettuce. Seeing Lan Si take a bite, Song Ning quickly picked up a lettuce leaf and put it on his plate.

"I think it will taste even better if I eat this after finishing the first bite."

Lance did as he was told, and Song Ning couldn't wait to put the harvest he had been waiting for a month into his mouth.

Lettuce wasn't a vegetable that Song Ning particularly loved before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse, almost no one disliked its crisp green color, and no one would refuse the benefits brought by the unique texture of this green vegetable.

The lingering meat juices in my mouth neutralized some of the raw taste of the vegetables, leaving only a crisp texture that made a satisfying crunch when you bit into them.

Song Ning chewed carefully for a while before swallowing.

Looking at his expression, Lance couldn't help but ask a question.

"Is it delicious?"

Why do human facial expressions look so complex?

Song Ning paused for a moment, a hint of helplessness flashing across her face.

"Actually, it's not that delicious."

People's tastes are indeed not so easy to change; he still doesn't like the vegetables he didn't like to eat even now.

"But it's been so long since I've had it, I really miss it."

He ate several more bites. Although the taste of the vegetables wasn't to his liking, they contained so many vitamins that were beneficial to the human body, and he certainly wouldn't waste the effort of growing them.

"If you don't like it, we can sell the rest."

Lance didn't think that far ahead. If humans didn't like something, they didn't have to eat it; he could get them other things they liked to eat.

For example, barbecue.

Song Ning found the domineering big cat's statement both heartwarming and amusing. She tried her best to explain to Lance that humans cannot survive by eating meat alone. After listening, Lance looked at Song Ning's scalp and skin, and seemed to be deep in thought.

So, after raising humans for so long, his hair hasn't become as smooth and shiny as his own fur. Is it because the food he's been feeding him isn't good enough?

Lance thought for a moment and nodded seriously, "I understand."

Song Ning: “?”

What does Lance know now?

He wanted to ask more, but Lance had already copied him and casually stacked the meat on the wire mesh. Song Ning, seeing this, ignored him and reminded him.

"That won't work. You need to grill them separately so they can be cooked evenly. Meat cooked evenly will taste the best."

The two sat together and ate all the grilled meat and lettuce.

The last dish to be served, the shiitake mushrooms, were grilled very well by Song Ning, and Lance's comments after eating them were the same as Song Ning's.

"It's no worse than meat."

After finishing the barbecue, the two packed up their things together, and Song Ning slightly opened the door to let the smell go out.

"Luckily, we chose a relatively remote place, otherwise we might not have dared to eat this barbecue. The flavor is quite strong."

Lance didn't understand his caution but respected it; humans just have a lot of worries.

After tidying up, the two went to the greenhouse together to check its current condition.

They exchanged for two greenhouses in total, but the people at the base thoughtfully combined the two sets into one large greenhouse. Now, as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by a large patch of lush green lettuce. The small patch at the very edge looks a bit 'thin', which is the patch that Song Ning just picked.

Besides the lettuce, the potatoes were growing very well, and the peppers planted next to them had also grown into small trees with small flowers on them. They would probably start bearing peppers soon. Song Ning was in a better mood just thinking about being able to eat peppers.

Song Ning was still showing Lance their work when Lance's ears suddenly twitched slightly.

This was the first time Song Ning had seen Lance in this state of alertness, and he felt a pang of anxiety, took a deep breath, and lowered his voice.

"what's the situation?"

Lance turned to look in the direction of their house's front door, his tone certain.

"Someone's coming, but they smell somewhat familiar."

Familiar? Then that means someone you know.

Before Song Ning could figure out who it was, she heard a very familiar voice coming from outside – it was Captain Man.

"Xiao Song, Lance, are you two home? Is Leopard here? I need to talk to you."

Song Ning glanced at Lans and asked in a low voice.

"What identity do you plan to use to go there?"

His original intention was simply to ask Lance which identity would be more convenient, but Lance couldn't help but glance at him, his eyes filled with emotions that Song Ning couldn't understand.

Two seconds later, Lance finally spoke.

"It's better to just let it go like this."

Before Song Ning could ask where was better, Lance strode over to open the door for Captain Man.

Captain Man didn't look around when he entered. After a polite greeting, he got down to business.

"I wonder if the seeds you two received have grown into crops yet? I came here today to plan the charging station here, and I also wanted to ask if you could sell us any surplus crops. We'll buy them at a high price."

Song Ning was quite happy to hear about the charging station. Their crystal core small suns are currently charged about twice a week, while the crystal core batteries are okay, requiring charging only once every two weeks at the earliest.

However, the main reason for such frugality is the inconvenience of charging.

Fortunately, after Lance joined the patrol team a week ago, he can take a detour to the charging station every day to put the crystal core fragments there for charging, and then come back to collect the fragments when he finishes his work.

However, it's not particularly convenient, since charging stations are currently in short supply, and queuing is unavoidable in most cases.

If a charging station could be set up near them, Song Ning could go there to charge his device whenever he had free time, which would be much more convenient.

After briefly inquiring about the charging station and confirming that it would be fully implemented within the next week, Song Ning brought up another matter.

"How did Captain Man know our crops were ready? But only that batch of lettuce is ready to harvest right now; the others are still a long way off."

Captain Man laughed heartily. It was getting a bit hot inside, so she casually took off her hat, revealing neat short hair with ear loops. A clear knife scar was visible from her ear to her chin.

"Of course we know. Don't we know how many seeds we've given out? We shouldn't be asking you to collect them, since I guess most of us haven't had fresh vegetables in a long time."

“But you planted quickly and you have two greenhouses. I figured you probably couldn’t eat that much, so I came to see if I could take some with me.”

She was generous and frank, saying, "Although we also grow crops, we still lack manpower and can't keep up with the demand. However, most people have been deficient in vitamins for many years now, so eating more early will help them stay healthy."

The base has recently improved significantly thanks to the crystal core fragments, so it can now save on major investments.

Song Ning's heart skipped a beat. If that's the case, then his batch of lettuce was harvested earlier than others, so he could probably get a good price for it.
