"Today during the day, we went to fight the Japanese pirates again."
Upon hearing Fu Xinci mention fighting Japanese pirates, the people whispering in the trading hall temporarily fell silent.
"How many Japanese pirates did you kill?"
"Sixty-four, all wiped out."
"Damn, I want to go fight Japanese pirates too. What should I do?" Hearing that Fu Xinci and their group had killed so many Japanese pirates, Pang Dun'er instantly became restless, itching to join the battle immediately.
"You're not the only one who wants to go. I estimate everyone here wants to go." As Xu Jiacan finished speaking, almost everyone nodded.
The captain thought of more. As the backbone of the entire team, he had to worry about everyone's food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He got straight to the point, "Xinci, what new features did your space gain after the upgrade? Can you tell us so we know?"
As expected of the captain, his question hit everyone's heart directly.
When the captain asked, Fu Xinci remembered the ranch and immediately spilled out the details of the upgrade, like beans from a bamboo tube.
Pang Dun'er's focus was entirely on the ranch. He blurted out, "Xinci, can we eat beef now? I want to eat beef stew with tomatoes right now."
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes at him and muttered in a voice everyone could hear, "Who doesn't want to eat it?"
Thinking of beef and milk, it opened the floodgates of memory for countless people, and they couldn't close them.
The captain was no exception. "I want to eat grilled ribs."
Xu Jiacan smacked his lips. "We thought of the same thing."
"What is it that you two always think of the same thing? Can't we think of it too?"
Pang Dun'er's words immediately resonated. Xiao Ai was the first to chime in, "Let alone cooked beef ribs, some people even want to gnaw on cow tails."
"For grilled ribs, I still think lamb ribs are better. I'm afraid cow ribs would be too tough to chew and get stuck in my teeth."
Yang Xinjie started the ball rolling, and eventually, everyone leaned towards a whole roasted sheep.
Fu Xinci could hear the drooling. She kindly said, "You guys wait a moment, I'll think of a way."
However, this method was somewhat difficult. She had killed monsters, shot Tatars and Japanese pirates, and even blew them up with grenades.
But she had never killed cattle or sheep. What should she do? Her companions were waiting.
"If it doesn't work, can I try it first? Sheep are smaller, so I'll try killing a sheep first." Fu Xinci muttered to herself, a bit uncertainly, as if speaking to her companions.
However, as soon as she finished muttering, she heard a strange sound coming from a large, enclosed container next to her.
She had seen this container before. It was larger than three houses, and she was curious about its purpose, but she had been too eager to chat with her companions and hadn't had time to check it out.
Finally, the strange sound stopped. When the container door opened, Fu Xinci's eyes widened like a calf's.
Cut lamb meat and lamb bones were neatly arranged on the cutting board. Even the lamb offal was cleaned and placed in a large stainless steel tray beside them.
Fu Xinci exclaimed twice, "Oh my god!"
Her companions grew anxious. Seeing her eyes fixed on one spot for several minutes without moving, they became even more worried. They clamored, "Xinci, what's wrong?"
"Xinci?"
"Xinci?"
Fu Xinci smiled at her companions and then ran out of their sight.
Fortunately, her companions were not foolish. Seeing Xinci smile, they knew it must be good news.
Fu Xinci pressed her chest, where her heart felt like it was about to leap out, and quickly put all parts of the sheep into the vending machine. Then she experimented with a cow and two pigs.
When the people in Dragon City, including her companions, saw the beef, lamb, and pork displayed on the vending machine, no one remained calm.
How long had it been since they had eaten such pure, unmutated meat?
They remembered the sour taste of mutated beast meat, and a wild fire flickered in everyone's eyes.
The captain had a feeling that these people were going mad.
If you haven't eaten such pure meat for several years, you would go mad too.
Captain: They occasionally ate pork, horse meat, and beef that Xinci found for them, but they hadn't had beef in years.
Fu Xinci: In the dynasty she lived in, killing cattle was prohibited unless they died of old age or illness.
However, very few families in Mengjia Town raised cattle. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and raised donkeys to pull carts, saying that donkey carts ran faster.
The captain, afraid Xinci hadn't grasped the fervor of the people in Dragon City, quickly and loudly reminded her, "Xinci, sell all kinds of meat separately." As he spoke, he secretly winked at Xinci.
Fu Xinci had initially wanted to say that she only wanted to keep a few pounds for their family to eat, and the rest would be traded with her companions; they could decide how to arrange it.
But seeing the look the captain sent her, Fu Xinci patted her chest.
"My goodness, it's a good thing I have strong willpower, or I would have died young."
The captain was amused by her playful demeanor, but the female lord of Phoenix City's face darkened.
She couldn't understand why she, a stunning beauty, had lost to a little yellow-haired girl who had disappeared to who-knows-where.
If Fu Xinci knew what she was thinking, she would definitely grab a megaphone and tell her: "Beauty, you are mistaken."
She would proudly tell this female lord, "Our captain is not a shallow person. Unless you truly enter his heart, don't expect any special treatment, even if you are a lord or a queen."
Following the captain's hint, Fu Xinci stopped talking nonsense and directly set clear prices.
Of course, most of it was exchanged for crystal cores.
Therefore, all the mercenary teams and various factions present could buy some meat to take back.
Her companions waited until the end. This was the captain's decision, as he feared the hungry wolves would band together to rob them.
Even the strongest fist cannot defeat four hands, and even a hungry tiger fears a pack of wolves.
When a large barrel of milk, ten catties of beef, a rack of lamb ribs, a rack of pork ribs, and ten catties of pork were traded, the companions were so happy they almost jumped for joy.
Pang Dun'er bowed repeatedly to Fu Xinci, and without forgetting, loudly asked, "Xinci, from today onwards, can we achieve meat freedom?"
Before Fu Xinci could reply, the captain pushed him aside. Then, with a solemn expression, he cautioned Fu Xinci, "Xinci, from now on, set one or two days each month. Remember, only sell these meats on those set days."
"Captain, why?"
"No special reason, just in case we get robbed when we go out alone. Especially Pang Dun'er, he'll definitely have provisions on him no matter what."
