Xia Chujian opened the Flying Vehicle's hatch and waved at him, saying, "San Zong, bring Little Doggy up! I've prepared sleeping places for both you and Little Doggy."
San Zong's eyes widened, and he looked like he really wanted to go in, but he quickly shook his head, shrinking his neck as he said, "Female Sire, San Zong can stay outside... After that bad guy brought San Zong here, San Zong has always slept outside!"
In this cold weather, the pig-headed Humanoids San Zong had been sleeping in the open.
Xia Chujian didn't know whether to praise the Humanoids' tenacious vitality or curse the inhumane killer! She took a deep breath and said with a stern face, "I told you to come up, so come up. Stop being so long-winded!"
When she got angry like this, San Zong didn't dare disobey.
He hurriedly picked up Little Doggy, stood up, and shrank his neck as he came to the hatch.
The civilian Flying Vehicle wasn't big, and it wasn't high off the ground. San Zong grabbed the hatch and easily jumped in.
When the Griffon Sea Eagle saw this, it actually stood up and tried to squeeze into the Flying Vehicle! But it was too big. Just its head alone could fill half the Flying Vehicle, so of course, it couldn't get in.
Xia Chujian took out her Judicator No. 7 Sniper Rifle, held it against the Griffon Sea Eagle's head, and said calmly, "You stay outside and guard us. If there are any enemies, you must notify us quickly!"
The Griffon Sea Eagle was originally fearless, but it still had the scene in its mind of this human, carrying a terrifying thing, turning another powerful human into ashes...
Moreover, its mental interference ability allowed it to become the overlord of this Exotic Beast Forest, but it was completely useless against this human, so it couldn't help but feel a little fear towards Xia Chujian.
The Griffon Sea Eagle silently retracted its head and nestled down next to the Flying Vehicle.
Ping Qiong quickly closed the hatch.
Before long, the temperature inside the Flying Vehicle's cabin rose to above twenty degrees Celsius.
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong both took off their coats and wore only loose work suits.
San Zong was obviously much more comfortable as well.
He held Little Doggy and saw two bedding rolls on the floor at the back of the Flying Vehicle. He stammered, "...Are those places for San Zong and Little Doggy?"
"Yes, go ahead." Xia Chujian didn't want San Zong to feel uncomfortable, so she pretended not to care.
Ping Qiong didn't care either.
She even took out a small enamel pot from her backpack and said to Xia Chujian expectantly, "Little Chujian, I haven't had dinner yet. Can you make something delicious?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She only took her pig kidneys and big teeth; she didn't take any frozen pork!
How was she supposed to cook?
Moreover, she hadn't even taken a single Advanced Nutrient Solution out of spite.
But, weren't they in the enemy's Flying Vehicle now? Xia Chujian's eyes darted around, and she said, "Let's look around and see if there's anything to eat here?"
San Zong held Little Doggy, sat cross-legged on the floor next to the two bedding rolls, and listened attentively to Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong's conversation.
When he heard them say they wanted to eat dinner, San Zong quickly stood up and said, "San Zong knows where that bad guy hid his food! San Zong will go get it!"
San Zong put down Little Doggy, opened a door behind him, and went inside.
Xia Chujian and Ping Qiong followed to join in the fun.
They originally thought that place was an ammunition depot because their combat Flying Vehicle only had ammunition depots! Only when they went inside did they realize that it wasn't an ammunition depot at all, but a storage room.
A real place to store food, with temperature and humidity control devices, and no equipment inside at all.
Xia Chujian said with emotion, "That bad guy is really 'skilled and bold'! He came all the way to kill us, but he didn't bring any weapons or equipment."
"He's a Mental Strength Rank B Peak Advanced Gene Evolver, why would he need weapons? He himself is the biggest weapon!" Ping Qiong shook her fist at Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian didn't think so: "...Still got killed by me."
"...You try it... Heaven!" Ping Qiong was rendered speechless by Xia Chujian.
She twitched her lips and followed San Zong in this small storage room to see what was inside.
The storage room was oval-shaped, and the temperature was relatively low, about 4 degrees Celsius, which was a big difference from the temperature in the outer cabin.
It was obviously a professional storage room.
Rows of special metal cylinders, gleaming with silver light, were lined up against the wall.
These metal cylinders were all half a person tall and about forty centimeters in diameter, and could hold a lot of things.
San Zong opened them one by one for them to see.
"This is rice grown on the Mulan City Plantation. This quality is the best. It's called Tantai Royal Field Rice, and it's exclusively for the royal family."
The first round jar contained snow-white rice, each grain plump and glistening, emitting a natural fragrance.
It was indeed of a much higher quality than any rice they had ever seen! Even before cooking it, Xia Chujian felt a little hungry.
She felt like she could eat these grains raw.
Ping Qiong directly grabbed a few grains and put them in her mouth, chewing with relish.
Xia Chujian: "..."
"...Aren't you afraid it's poisoned?" Xia Chujian said softly, quietly pinching Ping Qiong's arm.
Ping Qiong said vaguely, "Such good rice, who would be stupid enough to poison it! - Little Chujian, you really don't understand the value of these grains, do you?"
Xia Chujian thought about it, and she really didn't understand it very well.
When her aunt wasn't sick, there wasn't much rice at home, and they could only eat it once a month.
It was so-called large-scale mechanically grown rice, transported from other planets, but the price was still much more expensive than low-grade Advanced Nutrient Solution.
But it couldn't compare at all with the royal family's exclusive supply that San Zong and the others grew by hand. It wasn't even in the same league.
That kind of large-scale mechanically grown grain, ordinary commoners could afford to eat if they gritted their teeth.
But this kind of royal family exclusive supply, they could only look at it.
San Zong opened the second round jar: "...This is flour, also grown on the Mulan City Plantation, called Plain Girl Flour, just like the rice over there, exclusively for the royal family."
Then there was the third, fourth, and fifth round jars.
These few round jars had their own freezing systems, and they were all filled with meat.
But without looking at the labels, you couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.
For example, the meat in the third round jar was snow-white and delicate, sliced into long strips.
The label on the top of the round jar was "Ying Fish".
The meat in the fourth round jar was carmine-colored, and there was only half a jar left. It looked like Feng Qianzhan had eaten a lot of it.
The label on the top was "Unicorn Cattle".
The label on the fifth round jar was "Luo Xu Little Goat".
Ping Qiong gasped, "...This is Luo Xu Province's Little Goat meat? I heard that the Little Goats there are especially tender, with no gamey taste at all. They're especially delicious when boiled in plain water!"
Xia Chujian wasn't interested in the fish or goat meat, but she took a few more glances at the half jar of Unicorn Cattle meat.
Looking at the center of the storage room, there was a round table about half a person's height.
On the table were some pottery jars.
According to the labels, there was hand-ground fragrant sesame oil, crystal sugar made using ancient methods, and some seasonings, such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Under the round table were four or five rattan baskets, lined with coarse cloth.
Opening the lids of the baskets, there were eggs, and some baskets contained dried wild mushrooms, dried red chili peppers, and scallions, ginger, and garlic.
Xia Chujian was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Don't tell me, there's a small kitchen on this Flying Vehicle!"
Looking at these seasonings and food, it was really possible! San Zong said cheerfully, "Yes, yes! There's a small kitchen in the back!"
As he said that, he pressed a few times on the smooth wall.
The metal wall, which looked seamless, suddenly slid open to both sides, revealing a doorway.
Behind the door, it was indeed a small kitchen, small but complete!
Xia Chujian was envious: "...What kind of lousy assassin is this! Did he come to travel and kill people on the side!"
Look at the Flying Vehicle he brought...
It was much more user-friendly than their combat Flying Vehicle! Ping Qiong coughed and said softly, "...Actually, civilian Flying Vehicles have these functions. Of course, they're different from combat Flying Vehicles."
Xia Chujian was extremely envious.
If she had a Flying Vehicle like this, wouldn't she not even need to rent an apartment?
But then she thought, the fuel needed for this kind of civilian Flying Vehicle was too expensive, she couldn't afford it, and renting was still more cost-effective.
She felt slightly better.
Ping Qiong felt even hungrier, turned her head, and stared straight at Xia Chujian, saying, "Little Xia Chujian... hungry... food..."
Xia Chujian said heroically, "Alright! Today I'll show Cai Jie what I can do! We'll make scrambled egg and beef fried rice!"
This was her favorite dish when she was little, and she could only eat it once a month.
Moreover, her family was poor and couldn't afford beef, so they used farmed chicken instead.
But every time her aunt made it, she would say that it would be even more delicious with beef, and that the dish was originally called scrambled egg and beef.
For Xia Chujian at that time, scrambled egg and chicken was already delicious enough.
Now that she saw there was frozen beef, she wanted to try making an "authentic" version.
Ping Qiong was overjoyed, "I'll go to the kitchenette to help you! What else needs to be prepared?!"
"Thaw six pounds of beef, cut it into thin slices, beat... six eggs. I'll wash the rice and prepare to steam it," Xia Chujian said, already taking out the kitchen utensils from the kitchenette, planning to measure the rice.
San Zong watched from the side for a long time, looking very curious, but he didn't dare to speak.
Because when he was at the Plantation, he could only do rough work when he helped the master chef in the kitchen.
When people were actually cooking, they, these Humanoids Slaves, were driven out.
Moreover, the food they made was for the human managers of the Plantation.
Humanoids Slaves were not worthy of eating the grain they grew themselves, and could only eat the lowest-grade Advanced Nutrient Solution.
Of course, the nutrition in the Advanced Nutrient Solution was still very balanced, otherwise, if these Humanoids Slaves were not well-fed, how could they farm for the royal family?
After Xia Chujian and the others took out all the ingredients, San Zong also walked out of the storage room, carrying the little dog back to his and the little dog's bedding, happily looking at the two small nests, but not intending to go in.
Before long, Xia Chujian's scrambled egg and beef fried rice was ready.
Golden scrambled eggs, snow-white rice, and bright red beef, accompanied by a few specks of green scallions.
A smell mixed with the unique fragrance of rice wafted from the kitchenette at the rear of the Flying Vehicle.
