Du Yue understood Yu Xinya’s words. She thought they were from the second base, and they did not explain.

So be it if it was a misunderstanding. The first base was more than a thousand miles away from here, and with the current road conditions, one would not be able to come here with just a car. If others knew that they were from the first base, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble and suspicion. He Xing was still smiling. “We’ll be in for a treat today, then. Thank you for your warm hospitality.”

“You’re too polite. At a time like this, it’s only right for us to help each other. Dapeng, take the guests to the side and wait!”

!!

Wan Dapeng agreed readily and brought Du Yue and He Xing to find a place to sit. As soon as they sat down, they heard Wan Dapeng say with a smile, “Big Brother Zhang from our base’s canteen has really good cooking skills!” As he spoke, Wan Dapeng’s eyes were full of pride. “You two are so lucky. It just so happens that the director brought back fresh seafood today. We don’t usually eat these things.”

He Xing listened carefully and asked curiously, “Do you guys go out to sea often? Isn’t it dangerous to go out to sea now that the visibility is so low?”

“Ah! Of course, it’s dangerous!” Speaking of this, Wan Dapeng sighed helplessly. “In such a thick fog, not to mention going out to sea, it’s not safe even on land. There are so many people in the base waiting for food every day. If it’s not for the director who often takes everyone out to fish, we would have starved to death. Every time we go out to sea to fish, we’d sign a life and death order. If the person who goes out to sea on that day unfortunately dies, the people in the base will be responsible for taking care of their family. Thus, I have no qualms about going out to fish.” When it came to going out to sea, Wan Dapeng seemed to have endless things to say, and his eyes were full of anticipation and yearning.

The person sitting across from Wan Dapeng shook his head and laughed. “Dapeng, I think you’re going crazy. All you think about every day is fishing.”

Wan Dapeng did not get angry at being made fun of. He nodded with a smile. “Yeah, I’m not scared. All I want to do now is to go out to sea and fish. I’m a single man with no partner or family. Why would I stay here? I might as well go out and give it a try!”

“What’s wrong with being single? Being single means that you can continue to enjoy your life. Every time you go out to sea, you’re always fighting for survival. What if something happens and you’ve never been in a relationship? Won’t you regret it? Besides, it’s not only your business to go out to sea and fish. It’s everyone’s business in the base, except for the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. Everyone should take responsibility.”

“Doesn’t the director go every time?”

“How can you compare yourself to the director?”

“Why can’t I…”

At this point, Du Yue basically understood what the base usually did for a living. The seafood that they brought back from the sea was their most important source of food. But the seafood was not enough to fill the people’s stomachs. They still had to eat staple food! How did they get their staple food?

Du Yue was puzzled, but she did not ask directly. In an unfamiliar environment, she preferred to listen and observe more while speaking less. After waiting for about ten minutes, Du Yue caught the pungent smell of chili and the unique saltiness of seafood. This smell was really appetizing!

Wan Dapeng also smelled the same smell, he asked for praise with a proud face, “Does it smell good? Big Brother Zhang’s cooking is appetizing, and you’ll know in a while.”

Du Yue and He Xing nodded with a smile. “It does smell good!”

After receiving affirmation, Wan Dapeng’s smile became even brighter. “You’ll be surprised by how delicious it is later.”

Regardless of the cooking method, seafood would be cooked faster. Therefore, it did not take long for Du Yue to hear someone calling for everyone to get food. The people who were originally sitting in their seats stood up one after another when they heard the words ‘food is served.’ They went to line up with their own lunch boxes.

The canteen had a total of three windows, so it was relatively easy to provide food for more than 200 people. It was not crowded. Wan Dapeng turned to Du Yue and He Xing. “Did you bring lunch boxes?”

“We did.” Du Yue and He Xing each took out their lunch boxes from their mountaineering bags and followed Wan Dapeng to line up for their meals.
