After about an hour, the fishing boat returned.
After untying the fishing net and counting the gains, they found the following:
Seaweed x23.
Kelp x18.
Hairtail x9.
Yellow croaker x12.
Grouper x10.
Cod x8.
Shrimps x26.
Prawns x24.
Red prawns x18.
Swimming crab x15.
Green crab x17.
…
Looking at the pile of seafood, Yunling was overjoyed and began to think about what to eat tonight.
**
At night.
Yunling made seaweed and egg soup, cold seaweed, steamed grouper, braised shrimps, boiled prawns, stir-fried green crab, and then waited quietly.
"I'm here." You Qingwen was invited to visit and brought a few osmanthus cakes as a gift.
"Welcome." Yunling got up to receive the guest.
After a while, the two sat face to face and officially started to eat.
The seaweed and egg soup was fresh and fragrant, and the taste was delicate.
The cold seaweed was refreshing and delicious, and very appetizing.
The meat of the grouper was very tender and delicious.
The shrimps and prawns were indescribably sweet and chewy.
The soup of the stir-fried green crab was specially prepared by the chef, and it was especially delicious when poured on the crab legs cut into pieces!
You Qingwen's chopsticks were flying, and she couldn't stop eating.
She told herself countless times that she would stop if she ate one more bite, but she didn't stop eating one bite after another …
It wasn't until she finished all six dishes that she woke up from her dream and resentfully put down her chopsticks.
"The fish, prawns, and crabs you made are really delicious." You Qingwen clenched her left hand into a fist and put it on her lips, as if she wanted to cover it up.
"As long as you like it." Yunling said as he pointed to the wooden basin next to him, "After the dock is unlocked, we can harvest a lot of fresh seafood every day."
"Put some in the warehouse, sell some in the restaurant, and I want to ask you to help me set up a stall to sell the rest."
You Qingwen reacted, "Sell it at a lower price and enrich the residents' food basket?"
Yunling nodded slightly and added with a smile, "In the future, if you want to eat seafood, you can eat seafood. If you want to eat grains, you can eat grains. The territory will provide them."
Because of an outstanding lord, the entire territory's residents had become winners in life!
For some reason, this thought appeared in You Qingwen's mind and lingered for a long time.

"Cod! Fresh cod!"
"Selling seaweed, kelp, yellow croaker. Don't miss it!"
"Selling prawns! Selling prawns! Selling green crabs! Swimming crabs! "
It was as if everyone had picked up a fishing net overnight and started fishing and hunting as a sideline. Several stalls began to sell seafood almost at the same time, and the products were all different.
The residents gathered around excitedly. "There's a prawn base? Give me ten. "
The stall owner readily agreed, "Alright, please wait a moment."
A player asked, "How much is the cod?"
Another stall owner replied, "10 copper coins each, no bargaining."
Ten copper coins for one, it was a little expensive.
But compared to the night vision ability and the price of the restaurant, it was nothing.
The player slapped his thigh and said, "I'll take it all!"
The stall owner refused. "Each person can only buy three pieces of fish a day."
The players: "…"
Why was there a restriction like the System's shop?
Helpless, the cod was caught by the stall owner. If he said he could not buy more, then he could not buy more.
The player had no choice but to agree. "Alright, alright, three then. Help me tie them up."
Hearing this, the stall owner used a straw rope to pass through the gills and strung the fish together.
The player paid the copper coins and left happily with the cod.
Cheng Myung-yueh observed for a moment and slowly exhaled. "Fortunately, I asked the team members to set up their stalls separately. If they gathered together, it would be too conspicuous. "
"We'll stay in Ling Yun City. There's no need to worry about safety," You Qingwen comforted.
Cheng Myung-yueh disagreed. "Even if we're in the safe zone, we have to be careful at all times. Have you forgotten? Previously, someone caused trouble in Ling Yun City and was directly kicked out of the territory by the high-level players. We have to be careful! "
"Didn't you say that they used special items?" You Qingwen calmly analyzed. "Since it's a special item, there shouldn't be too many of them. There's no need to waste it on insignificant people like us."
As she spoke, she thought, 'What are you afraid of? They have a backer! The Lord of Ling Yun City is their biggest backer! '
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Cheng Myung-yueh sighed. "There's no harm in being cautious."
You Qingwen saw that she could not persuade him, so she could only let him be.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Myung-yueh turned his face and asked abruptly, "By the way, where did you get those seafood products?"
You Qingwen spouted nonsense seriously. "I was lucky and completed a special mission. Since then, I've been qualified as a middleman to help the dock sell seafood products and earn some difference in price."
"Both of you are so lucky? Why didn't I trigger any special mission? "Cheng Myung-yueh muttered.
You Qingwen looked up at the sky.
Because she had worked hard in the wrong direction from the beginning!

City S, Linden Town.
Zhou Xinen held an axe and huffed as he chopped down a tree.
"Dong, dong, dong."
The sound of chopping was heard more than ten times. The pine tree fell and a system notification appeared. [You have received: Wood x38.]
"Only 38 pieces of wood?" Zhou Xinen was very disappointed. "This amount of materials is not enough!"
However, most of the transplanted pine trees and cypress trees had been chopped down, leaving only a few in place.
He had to go to the market to buy wood.
Just as he had this thought, Zhou Xinen hurried to the market. He opened the interface and quickly flipped through it.
[Territory Name: Locust Tree Town]
[Goods for sale: Wood x5]
[Price: 40 copper coins.]
[If you have any questions, you can consult: Guo Songlin.]
Zhou Xinen remembered this person's ID. He often sold materials and looked like a high-level combat player.
However, unlike normal players, this person's price was especially expensive.
In autumn, the same wood x5, if someone else offered 10 copper coins, he would offer 15.
In winter, the same wood x5, if someone else offered 25 copper coins, he would offer 40.
It was as if his heart was always blacker than others.
"Let's see if there are other listings first." Zhou Xinen thought. "If I can't buy it, it's better than nothing."
With this thought, he quickly browsed and flipped through the pages.
In winter, there was never enough wood, not to mention in the Eternal Night environment.
Zhou Xinen flipped through it for half an hour and found nothing. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Just as he was about to accept his bad luck and buy the order at a premium, a listing entered his sight.
[Territory Name: Ling Yun City]
[Goods for sale: Wood x5]
[Price: 15 copper coins.]
[If you have any questions, you can consult: Xiao Li.]
Zhou Xinen quickly bought the order without any explanation.
Copper -15.
Wood + 5.
Only after the transaction was completed did he have the mood to look carefully.
When he saw the two words "Xiao Li" in the contact column, Zhou Xinen was immediately stunned. If he remembered correctly, there was a person called "Xiao Li" who wanted to move to Ling Yun City and settle down. He had already moved at the end of autumn.
Same name?
Or the same person?
Zhou Xinen couldn't be sure.
While he was hesitating, the other party sent a message first. "It's you, Old Zhou. Long time no see."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar feeling hit him in the face.
Zhou Xinen knew that he didn't recognize the wrong person, so he casually replied, "Looks like you've been doing well after moving. You actually have extra wood to sell for money."
Xiao Li: "Hehe."
Xiao Li: "Old Zhou, I'll tell you the truth. Moving is the wisest decision I've ever made."
Xiao Li: "Compared to other safe zones, Ling Yun City is simply heaven!"
Zhou Xinen didn't believe it. "You're exaggerating. What's so good about it that you're praising it like this? "
Xiao Li: "A million words can't express the excitement and joy in my heart."
Continue bragging. He didn't believe a single word.
Zhou Xinen: "Why are you drinking in broad daylight?"
Xiao Li: "…"
Xiao Li: "Can't we have a pleasant conversation?! I'm only telling you the truth because you're an acquaintance. If you don't want to listen, then forget it. "
Zhou Xinen gave in. "I'm listening. Continue."
After listening, he judged how credible it was.
Xiao Li: "Ling Yun City's greening rate is as high as 30%. The temperature difference between inside and outside the territory is especially large. This winter's weather isn't too cold. Even if you don't wear winter clothes, it's still passable if you stay indoors. "
"The building 'residential' has been unlocked here. Every household has their own private space. Other players are not allowed to enter without permission. "
"Apart from that, there are also carpentry workshops, tailoring shops, protective shields, restaurants, freezers, farmlands, blacksmiths, markets, and docks. It's simply gathering all the buildings I like together. None of them are useless!"
"Isn't the Eternal Night mode activated after winter? The territorial guards light up bonfires and torches, illuminating the safe zone. The players don't have to worry at all. "
"What shocked me the most was that the restaurant launched winter specialties' steamed cod 'and' codfish stewed with tofu ', directly hinting that eating codfish can increase the residents' night vision."
"You've been in Linden Town for so long, but have you ever seen a restaurant so smart? It has always been the players who discovered it first and took the initiative to collect the materials. The restaurant then slowly produced the corresponding items. "
"But what about Ling Yun City? Not only did it react earlier than the players, but the supply is also very plentiful. As long as you're willing to spend money, any resident can go to the restaurant to buy buffs to increase their night vision. "
"In comparison, Linden Town is far inferior!" Finally, Xiao Li sighed.
Zhou Xinen was stunned on the spot for a long time.
After a while, he asked, "You only went there at the end of autumn. It's winter a few days after you arrived. Have you adapted?"
Xiao Li: "What can't I adapt to?"
Xiao Li: "Once I sell the equipment and collect the money to buy an official resident status, then buy a wooden house, I'll have a place to settle down. After that, I just have to take care of my mouth."
Xiao Li: "Fishing in the morning and logging in the afternoon. The territory's defense is dependent on the system guards and combat players. Life is indescribably comfortable!"
Xiao Li: "By the way, some of the residents here raise poultry and livestock. I bought a few pieces of pork and tried to make streaky pork. Although it's my first time making it and my skills are a little bad, the ingredients are good and the smell is very fragrant. I even thought of the New Year's pig that I used to eat! "
Xiao Li: "I started early recently. I can also buy seaweed, kelp, prawns, shrimps, green crabs, and swimming crabs. Next time, I plan to make seaweed soup, boiled prawns, drink some wine, and eat some peanuts. "
Xiao Li: "If you're interested, I can bring some for you."
Zhou Xinen: "…"
He reminded him expressionlessly, "You went to another safe zone, not another game. Think about what you said. Is it possible?! "
Xiao Li: "It's possible. I'm living the life I described. My culinary skills have improved. If you don't believe me, I'll send you a portion of the food. "
Zhou Xinen looked at the interface, as stiff as a statue.
After some time, he said, "Seaweed, kelp, prawns, shrimps, green crabs, swimming crabs, steamed codfish, codfish stew with tofu, streaky pork, peanuts, and wine. Then I'll believe you."
Xiao Li: "…"
Actually, he believed him long ago, didn't he?
Pretending not to believe him just to find an excuse to order food from him?

Recently, he had been catching up on sleep like crazy.
Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes and fell asleep instantly. Perhaps he was too tired recently …
