Chapter 51: Borrowing A Pot
Yang Hao’s team was eating bread and instant noodles, the best food in their opinion.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to eat something warm or delicious, they simply didn’t have the ability or chance to do so.
However, when the delicious scent of meat wafted over, their eyes lit up. Xia Cai and the girls were fine and restrained, but the guys, Yang Hao and the rest, had saliva nearly dripping out of their mouths.
Zhao Liang, a middle-aged man with a beer belly, slurped his saliva and went closer to Yang Hao. “Captain, that smells really good. I’m dripping saliva already.”
His own saliva was dripping out too.
Zhao Liang then continued, “Captain, I see that they have a pot, let’s go borrow one. It’s good to eat something warm, especially since it’s really freezing today.”
Yang Hao was quite motivated by Zhao Liang’s suggestion. He didn’t want to borrow meat from the other party, only the pot, so they should be agreeable.
However, Yang Hao was still very curious about how the other team got meat. Meat is very difficult to preserve, causing him to wonder how they’d done it.
Xia Cai and Zhao Ya’s eyes glistened as well. They really didn’t want to eat the bread, they wanted something warm, or rather, they wanted meat.
Xia Cai knew that the captain still blamed her for what had happened, so she didn’t dare to speak up, harassing Zhao Ya instead.
Zhao Ya was also scheming inwardly and chimed in after Zhao Liang, “Brother Hao, Brother Liang is right, let’s go borrow a pot. It’s not healthy for us to keep eating this, we need something warm.”
Yang Hao was already quite influenced, so after listening to Zhao Ya’s opinion, he agreed.
He brought Zhao Ya to Qin Yi’s section, coming over at the right time, as Qin Yi was preparing the food.
The aroma of food caused Yang Hao to salivate non-stop and when Zhao Ya saw Qin Yi cooking, she grew fonder of her. ‘This kind of guy not only has looks but skills as well. He even knows how to cook! He’s simply perfect.’
Lin Qing had just finished arranging the utensils when he saw Yang Hao walking over, staring at their dinner.
Lin Qing didn’t feel that Yang Hao was being disrespectful because he knew how enticing Qiqi’s food was, not to mention that it was the apocalypse now and these dishes were getting rarer and rarer.
Lin Qing coughed lightly and asked, “Captain Yang, is there something wrong?”
He had no choice. He didn’t want to ask but those three were salivating at the food on the table while his boss and Qiqi couldn’t care less, so he had to be the one to speak up.
Yang Hao returned to his senses and was slightly embarrassed. He hadn’t done this on purpose, the smell was too enticing.
“Yes, I wanted to ask if you guys could lend us a pot. It’s so cold and we wanted to eat something warm.”
At this moment, Yang Hao was forced to acknowledge the importance of a car. If they had a car, they could also prepare some pots and bowls, even seasoning.
Qin Yi was the one in charge of the kitchen so Lin Qing didn’t dare say yes yet, turning around to ask Qin Yi.
Qin Yi nodded, “Of course you may.” After that, she passed a pot that had already been cleaned and washed to Yang Hao.
Qin Yi was happy to help out and give out these small favors.
Yang Hao hadn’t expected that he would be able to borrow the pot so easily, saying gratefully, “Thank you, Qin Yi. We will return it to you after using it. Oh, we will wash and clean it too.”
Zhao Ya spoke up at the right moment and said, batting her eyes flirtatiously, “Thank you, Big brother Qin Yi. With this, we can have a warm meal tonight.”
