Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 121 Rabbit Hot Pot
At six o'clock in the morning, Li Mu woke up on time.

After a simple wash, he began to charge the hibiscus tree and the lighthouse tree. After completing these, an hour had passed.

Amid the gentle chirping of the Little Golden Crow, Li Mu walked down the stairs to the cafeteria on the first floor.

"Auntie Wang, what do you want to eat this morning?"

A few seconds later, a strong female voice came, "Have something to eat in the morning, and I'll make you spicy rabbit meat hotpot at noon."

Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, "Where did the rabbit come from?"

At this time, Aunt Wang came to Li Mu's table with a pot of noodles, put it down, and said, "When I was walking around the market today, I saw someone selling wild rabbits on the roadside. Wow, they were more than one meter long and weighed more than 40 kilograms. I thought you guys all like spicy food, so I bought them and saved them for you to make spicy rabbit hotpot at noon."

Li Mu's first reaction when he heard this was: Aunt Wang must have paid for the rabbit herself.

So he chuckled without thinking,

"Thank you, Auntie Wang. How can I let you pay for it? Just tell me how much it is and I'll make it up to you."

Aunt Wang waved her hands quickly and said firmly, "It's not much, and our whole family has been taken care of by you all along, so how can we ask you to pay again?"

After a pause, she continued, "Don't mention the money. Eat breakfast first. Then try my cooking at noon. I haven't made it for a long time, so I don't know if it suits your taste."

Seeing this, Li Mu did not mention the matter of paying anymore. The salary he paid to Aunt Wang was already very high, two Iron Spirit Coins a day, which was twice what an ordinary person earned.

Moreover, when working in a cafeteria, the salary is only a small amount of money, and the leftovers are the biggest benefit.

You know, the ingredients used for cooking in the canteen of the City Lord's Mansion are not ordinary ingredients.

As for vegetables, let’s only mention peppers. All of them have been specially modified by Li Mu. They are very spicy but not harmful to the body. While satisfying your appetite, they can also warm the whole body, which is exactly what people in this environment need most.

As for meat, Li Mu and his men ate mutant beast meat, and the grade was not low, at least above grade two.

Not to mention the black bear brought back two days ago, that’s a fourth-level mutant beast!
If it were put up for sale outside, I don’t know how many people would rush to buy it.

When Aunt Wang and the others were processing the food, there would definitely be some scraps left over. Since Li Mu and the others didn't eat these scraps, they naturally became theirs.

All in all, Aunt Wang's income is almost comparable to that of the staff working in the three major departments.

Of course, all of the above behaviors of taking away leftovers or scraps were tacitly approved by Li Mu. As long as they were not too greedy, these could be regarded as benefits given to them.

At noon, Li Mu arrived at the cafeteria as scheduled. The table was already full of people, including but not limited to Yu Shuaikang, Yao Chengcheng, Hu Li and others. They were all waiting for the delicious rabbit meat hotpot.

Ten minutes later, Aunt Wang slowly came over carrying a copper hot pot with charcoal in the middle.

"smell good!"

Hu Li, the foodie, was the first to speak.

Li Mu sniffed the fresh fragrance coming from the air. Although he hadn't eaten it yet, he knew it would definitely suit his taste just by smelling the aroma.

When the hot pot was served, what came into view was the blood-red thick soup filled with chili peppers. Li Mu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth. The spicy taste instantly stimulated his taste buds, and he couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"Auntie Wang, you are amazing. This rabbit meat hotpot is really delicious!" Li Mu praised sincerely.

He had eaten rabbit meat before, but it was either roasted or stewed. This was the first time he had eaten such a spicy and fragrant rabbit meat hot pot. Aunt Wang smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents, "If it tastes good, eat more."

Then she sighed, "It's a pity that there is only one rabbit and I used it all for hot pot, otherwise I could have braised some rabbit legs and rabbit heads."

He does not mean that.

At this time, Li Mu, who had eaten a few pieces in succession, had a different idea.

Although he had eaten many mutant beasts during this period of time, this was the first time he had eaten a mutant rabbit.

In the past, the mutant beasts in the cafeteria were all provided by the hunting team. With their strength, they naturally would not focus on the mutant rabbits of only level one, but instead focused on other mutant beasts of larger size and higher level.

So this hare must have been caught by ordinary residents of the city, but we don’t know what method they used.

Thinking of this, Li Mu had the idea of ​​going around the city. As the city lord, he had not taken a good look at Wanling City for some time, and wondered what the outside world looked like now.

But the most important thing now is to eat. If I don’t eat now, it will probably be snatched away by others.

"Hey, are you pigs? Aren't you afraid of choking when you eat so fast?"

"Leave some for me!"

At the same time, in a dormitory on the second floor of the underground city, Wang Quan and Hu Fugui counted the spirit coins in their hands again.

Hu Fugui analyzed, "That wild rabbit weighs about 300 kilograms, but after removing the fur, blood, and internal organs, the net meat should be about kilograms. We sold it for a total of copper spirit coins. Regardless of whether we made a loss or not, we must be rich now!"

Wang Quan is also extremely excited now. He has only set a trap and caught a wild rabbit. If he sets a few more traps and catches a few rabbits every day, it won’t take long for his dream to come true.

At this moment, Hu Fugui interrupted his fantasy and asked softly, "Old Wang, how do you think we should divide this money?"

After hearing this question, Wang Quan's eyes flickered. When doing business together, the most feared thing is uneven distribution of profits. It might be okay once or twice, but it will cause big trouble over time.

After hesitating for a while, he chose to throw the question to Hu Fugui, "Brother Hu, you gave me the idea of ​​catching rabbits, otherwise I would not have thought of this, so you can tell me how to divide it, I will listen to you."

Wang Quan's words were half true and half false. He was really grateful to Hu Fugui, but if his division was unfair, he would not take him with him in a few days.

After all, he could do it himself.

Hu Fugui did not directly say how to distribute it, but sighed, "I just came up with an idea. It's all your credit that we were able to catch the hare, so I just helped."

After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "But there are more than just low-level mutants like the hare out there. There are also more dangerous high-level mutants. It's safer for two people to be together, right?"

Wang Quan couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this. Hu Fugui was right. Now was not the end of the world. At that time, he would not encounter any danger if he caught rabbits and pheasants by himself.

But the situation is different now. It's the end of the world. Rabbits can grow that big, let alone other wild animals. If they encounter danger, they will be safer if they have a companion.

Thinking of this, he spoke more sincerely this time, "Brother Hu, just tell me directly, how do you want to divide it?"

Hu Fugui noticed the changes in Wang Quan's expression and felt relieved. He smiled and said, "You pay 60% and I pay 40%. And from now on, the money for buying tomatoes will be mine. Is that okay?"
