The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Less Salt

Nian Shutong said “It’s ready”, letting Fu Yunhe get up and sit next to her.

Although there were no condiments, the aroma of the meat itself was different and novel.

“Wash your hands,” Nian Shutong said with one sentence. Fu Yunhe turned and went to the stream to wash his hands, trying not to look at his own reflection—his head ached.

After washing up, Fu Yunhe saw Nian Shutong carefully tearing off a chicken leg. He was very tactful and didn’t reach out for it.

It was obviously not for him.

“Xiao He!” Fu Yunhe looked at the chicken leg Nian Shutong was handing over and asked as he took it, “How much?”

“Subtract five thousand from the debt I owe you? How about that?” Nian Shutong pointed to the chicken on the stick and said, “Help yourself.”

“Deal,” Fu Yunhe said without haggling. He never expected Nian Shutong to actually pay back the money. Having it deducted from a meal was enough for him.

Nian Shutong happily tore off another chicken leg to eat, blowing on it to cool it down before taking a bite.

The meat was firm but not tough.

Probably because of regular exercise, the meat had a good chew; the more you chewed, the tastier it got.

But… it still lacked something in flavor.

“It would be better with a bit of salt,” Nian Shutong bit into another piece of meat, indeed missing the saltiness.

Fu Yunhe agreed, but his attention was now wholly occupied by the tantalizing aroma of the meat.

He had thought corn was the tastiest thing he had ever eaten, but this meat…

Nothing could compare!

Fu Yunhe bit into it again, his delicate features and figure creating a stark contrast.

The two ate with gusto while Rubble watched intently.

Was that really so delicious? It looked so appetizing.

But Rubble hadn’t upgraded and couldn’t eat anything other than metal.

Rubble looked down and crouched to draw circles, feeling unhappy.

Nian Shutong naturally noticed. The huge robot was squatting right beside her—who could ignore that? Thinking Rubble was still useful, she called out, “Rubble!”

The squatting Rubble drawing circles turned around.

“Work more like a robot, earn money, and I’ll buy you metal to eat,” Nian Shutong felt she was a really fair and kind person.

Earn money? Buy metal?

If he bought metal, Rubble could upgrade.

And once upgraded, Rubble could try that seemingly tasty meat.

“Rubble understands. Rubble will earn money. Rubble will earn money!” Rubble stood up, its steps steady yet showing a trace of haste.

It went off to work as a robot.

After Nian Shutong finished eating, she washed her hands and shouldered her spade to continue clearing the land.

Rubble persisted in its mechanical labor, while Fu Yunhe went back to earning money on the forum.

Everyone stuck to their roles, and everything operated perfectly for the moment.

While clearing the land, Nian Shutong asked Daodao,

“Daodao, where does salt come from?”

She didn’t like the bland taste, always feeling something was missing.

“Master, I’ve organized the information. The taste of interstellar salt is bitter, but the salt produced by the salt drying method I found is very different. I think we can make money from it.”

Make money!

With just those three words, Nian Shutong made an immediate decision—she would dry salt.

You have to know, she still owed more than twenty thousand in taxes.

Nian Shutong never thought about defaulting. That would be like Longevity Star hanging himself for no reason at all.

“Daodao, tell me about the salt drying method.”

“Okay.”

Daodao sent all the organized information about salt drying to Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong read while walking, and by the time she arrived at the cleared land, she had more or less finished.

So, the first step was to find the sea.

It seemed she needed to make a trip outside.@@novelbin@@
