Chapter 1408 Enjoy a Good Meal
The food crisis came sooner than the college students had anticipated, and the blizzard lasted for three days before finally stopping.

However, the supply vehicles still hadn't reached the dam, and their staple food was finished, with very little non-staple food left.

This morning at breakfast, Lao Wei brought out a bowl containing boiled potatoes, and each person got only one.

Sui Zhichao complained, "Old Wei, why are we still eating potatoes? We want to eat staple food, not potatoes!"

Shen Mengyin said weakly, "Yes, I feel like I'm turning into a potato!"

"And this rice porridge is so thin!" Da Kui took a spoon and stirred the pot on the stove. The watery rice porridge was so clear that you could see your reflection in it.

Old Wei said weakly, "The canteen only has potatoes left, nothing else!"

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Zhao Tianshan quickly comforted them:

"Everyone, just bear with it. The blizzard has stopped, so the supply trucks should be arriving soon. Then we can eat white flour buns every day!"

However, Lin Hao was not optimistic. According to his observations, the blizzard had only stopped temporarily and would definitely continue tonight.

Therefore, the advance team's food shortage crisis has only just begun.

"Hey, Technician Feng!" Sui Zhichao said to Feng Cheng, "I know you have a way, why don't you catch a few more wild sheep!"

Shen Mengyin also said apologetically to Feng Cheng, "Yes, Brother Feng, we were wrong last time and didn't appreciate your kindness!"

"Actually, when I think about it carefully, the mutton there is quite delicious. It's just that none of us have ever tried it before, which is why we had such a strong reaction!"

"That's a great idea!" Shen Mengyin agreed. "Brother Feng, you can take us with you, and we can all go together and catch a lot of wild sheep!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Feng, we were wrong before, we misunderstood your good intentions!" Qin Xuemei and the other girls also apologized to Feng Cheng.

“I agree!” Da Kui echoed in agreement.

"It's perfect that Comrade Feng Cheng can teach us. We'll be living in Bashang for a long time, so we'll have to learn to support ourselves!"

Seeing that everyone understood him, Feng Cheng finally smiled and said, "It's alright. After all, it's normal to be scared since we haven't been around before!"

"If you really understand the habits of the ground sheep, you'll find that they are actually quite clean. They are herbivores that eat plant roots and stems!"

"But it's probably not so easy to catch them in this weather!" Feng Cheng said with some difficulty, "The ones I ate before were a gift from Lao Liu!"

"To find live ground sheep, we need to mark the burrow entrance in the fall. I was afraid you would dislike it, so I didn't mark it before!"

"Moreover, the snow is now 1.5 meters high, covering the ground completely. Without seeing the ground or any markers, it will be very difficult to find the Sheep Cave!"

Qin Xuemei encouraged them, "Don't be afraid of difficulties. There's strength in numbers. Let's all work together to find a solution!"

"it is good!"

"Let's attack together!"

"Let's all unite!"

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lin Hao then spoke:

"How about this, since it hasn't snowed yet today, Feng Cheng, you take Saturday and go with them to look for it!"

"I'm taking Little Yellow hunting to see if we can catch a couple of rabbits!"

Actually, Lin Hao's area doesn't lack food, but the situation on the dam hasn't reached a desperate point yet, so taking it out wouldn't make much sense.

In order to maximize benefits, we must solve everyone's food problem at the most critical moment.

Therefore, Lin Hao would give some things to boost morale, but he wouldn't solve the food problem.

"Hey, this is great!" Zhao Tianshan clapped his hands and said happily:

"Xiao Huang has brought back quite a few wild animals before. If both teams search together, we'll surely get something!"

"Yes, yes, while the weather's nice today, if we find some prey, we can continue waiting for supplies down below the dam!"

Feng Cheng thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's set off after we finish eating!"

Everyone quickly finished their potatoes and then gathered at the cafeteria entrance with their tools.

When it came to assigning team members, the main force followed Feng Cheng.

Lin Hao originally wanted to go alone, but Qin Xuemei and Meng Yue insisted on going with him.

Lin Hao couldn't refuse, so he went along with them and set off with the two women.

However, Shen Mengyin felt a little uncomfortable because Qin Xuemei and Mengyue took the initiative to get close to Lin Hao.

Actually, she wanted to be with Lin Hao, but she was afraid that others would find out about their relationship, so she didn't say it directly. She just didn't expect that Qin Xuemei and Mengyue would get the benefit.

Fortunately, Lin Hao told him earlier that he would bring her food tonight, which made him feel much better.

······
Lin Hao walked towards Camp 1 for quite some time before Qin Xuemei and Mengyue asked curiously:
"Brother Lin, can we catch a rabbit?"

"Yes, what other prey is there besides rabbits in Bashang?"

"Whether you can catch prey or not sometimes depends on luck!" Lin Hao said, then called Xiao Huang to go to a sea buckthorn forest to look for prey.

We were already very close to Lin Hao's No. 1 forest, so we prepared to hunt here.

"In this cold weather, the rabbits are all hiding, so I'm afraid we won't be able to catch them!" Qin Xuemei said with some disappointment.

"No, on the contrary, I think we might actually make some progress today!" Lin Hao said, pointing to the vast expanse of white earth.

"After more than a week of heavy snow, almost all the animals hid. Now that the snow has stopped, some animals that are starving are coming out to forage for food."

"Just like us, if we don't come out to find food soon, we'll starve to death on the dam. So, there's still a chance!"

"That's great!" Mengyue said expectantly.

"Don't worry, you'll make sure you don't leave empty-handed!"

Then the two of them followed Lin Hao to a sea buckthorn forest on the east side of the camp, where Lin Hao told them to wait for him.

Lin Hao walked towards Xiao Huang, and when the two women could no longer see him, he took out two rabbits from his spatial storage and threw them on the ground.

"Little Yellow, go!" Lin Hao immediately ordered Little Yellow to tear into the flesh.

Since the two rabbits were killed and thrown into the spatial equipment immediately, they still looked fresh when they were taken out.

Little Yellow picked up the two rabbits, shook them violently a few times, and then wagged its tail at Lin Hao.

"Let's go!" So when Lin Hao returned, he was holding two rabbits that had just died.

Upon seeing this, Mengyue's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Wow! Brother Lin, you're amazing! You really caught a wild rabbit!"

Qin Xuemei clapped happily, then grabbed Lin Hao's arm and praised him:
"Brother Lin, you're our savior, our hero!" "Let's go back to camp, give the rabbit to Chef Wei, and make braised rabbit!" Mengyue grabbed Lin Hao's hand, eagerly saying:

"Let's go back to camp!"

"Wait a minute!" Lin Hao stopped and said with a smile, "We hunted two rabbits, how about we eat one first?"

Mengyue was somewhat tempted by the words, and subconsciously licked her lips before looking at Qin Xuemei.

"Brother Lin, we must have a team spirit; we are a team!" Qin Xuemei said righteously and firmly.
"Everyone hasn't been eating well these past few days and feels weak all over. Now that we've caught a rabbit, we should all eat it together and improve our lives."

Qin Xuemei's thinking is particularly positive and progressive, which is also a characteristic of this era. No matter what happens, she does not prioritize herself, but rather considers the interests of the collective.

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Xuemei, I don't have your positive mindset."

"I was just thinking that you guys haven't had a proper meal in days, so I roasted the rabbit and the three of us can fill our stomachs!"

"The main problem is that the rabbit is so big that it's definitely not enough for 11 people. At most, each person can have a few pieces of meat to satisfy their cravings."

"Maybe they can catch a wild goat. Let's leave one for them, and when it's time to eat, we can just have a symbolic bite. That way, we won't treat them unfairly!"

"Xuemei~!" Mengyue was moved by Lin Hao's words.

"Brother Lin, I, I~!" Qin Xuemei's expression was somewhat conflicted.

It's one thing to have no oil in your stomach, and I can tolerate eating potatoes every day, but now I can't even eat potatoes properly, and I only get one per meal.

Lin Hao interrupted Qin Xuemei, saying:

"How about this, let's eat this rabbit first, and then we won't go back to camp at noon. We'll continue hunting, and if I catch another rabbit, I'll bring it back to camp for everyone to eat!"

Qin Xuemei remained hesitant, and Lin Hao gave Meng Yue a meaningful look.

Mengyue understood and then advised, "Xuemei, I think Lin Hao is right. There is a food shortage now, and everyone is hungry."

"Let's eat our fill first, then we'll have the energy to hunt more prey!"

Lin Hao pointed to the vast expanse of white snow and said, "Yes, Xue Mei, as a philosopher once said, 'If you can't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world?'"

"I remember when you first came to the dam, your skin was as smooth as a peeled egg. Look at how thin you two have become now!"

"It's perfectly fine that you want to help others, but how can you help others if you're hungry yourself?"

Hearing Lin Hao's caring words, Meng Yue felt a warm glow in her heart, and the way she looked at Lin Hao changed.

"Xuemei~!" Mengyue shook Qin Xuemei's arm, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Alright!" Qin Xuemei was persuaded by the two of them. Her rumbling stomach finally broke down the last bit of her resolve.

"Let's go!" Lin Hao suggested with a smile, "We're not far from Camp 1, let's cook at the camp instead of grilling in the wild."

The three then arrived at Camp 1. After entering the underground house, Lin Hao gutted the rabbit, boiled it, and made it into a cold rabbit dish. He also boiled some sweet potatoes and three eggs.

"Huh, you have eggs here?" Qin Xuemei asked in surprise, and then she heard Mengyue swallow hard next to her.

"Yes, this is for Shen Mengyin and the others. I saw that the three of them were starving, and I was worried that they wouldn't be able to hold on!"

"I was originally going to bring some for all five of you, but since we're eating rabbit meat, we'll save the eggs for later. Give one to each of you to take back, and remember to give them to them secretly tonight!"

Hearing Lin Hao's caring words, Qin Xuemei and Meng Yue felt as if Lin Hao was radiating light.

Even that light seemed to shine into their hearts.

Not long after, Lin Hao tore off the rabbit meat and threw the bones to Xiao Huang.

He seasoned the rabbit meat and handed the sweet potatoes to the two women. Mengyue accepted them without ceremony and said, "Brother Lin, you're so kind!"

"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Qin Xuemei said shyly.

"Alright, let's eat!" The three of them then happily finished the rabbit meat with sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes can cause heartburn if you eat too much of them, but they're so sweet that it's hard to resist. The key thing is that I ate potatoes for a whole week at the campsite, and now that I've switched to sweet potatoes, they taste pretty good too.

"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Mengyue said happily, "This is the most delicious rabbit meat I've ever eaten in my life."

Qin Xuemei pursed her lips, savoring the lingering aroma of the rabbit meat, and then urged:
"Brother Lin, let's go hunting and try to catch another rabbit to improve the others' meals!"

"Okay!" Lin Hao said, getting up. They wanted to go too, so he said:
"You guys rest here for a bit. I'm going to check out the woods. I'll call you all when I get back!"

Qin Xuemei and Mengyue also felt that they couldn't be of much help, so they might as well rest in the warm and cozy house and avoid causing trouble for Brother Lin.

"Okay, be careful!" Qin Xuemei reminded Lin Hao.

Just as Lin Hao was leaving, Meng Yue suddenly asked, "Brother Lin, can we boil some water to wash our hair?"

"No problem, use it all you want, I still have plenty of coal!" Lin Hao said with a smile, then closed the door and went out to hunt.

They said they were going hunting, but in reality they were just wandering around in the woods, because Lin Hao wouldn't bring back much food.

Meanwhile, while Qin Xuemei and Mengyue were boiling water, they secretly peeked at Lin Hao's food reserves.

Seeing that Lin Hao had both sweet potatoes and eggs, they were very curious about how much food he still had.

They saw where Lin Hao took the sweet potato from when he was taking it.

Upon inspection, it was discovered that Lin Hao had over a dozen eggs, five pounds of sweet potatoes, and eight ears of corn.

The two women then discussed whether Lin Hao should contribute the food to help everyone get through this difficult time.

After a heated discussion, it was finally decided that it was up to Lin Hao to make his own decision.

These were clearly saved up by Lin Hao in his spare time, so they had no reason to ask him to contribute them.

······
After they washed and dried their hair, Lin Hao called out to the underground house, "Xuemei, Mengyue, get ready to go!"

"Brother Lin, did you catch any prey?" Qin Xuemei asked excitedly, while Mengyue also looked at Lin Hao's backpack.

Lin Hao shrugged and said helplessly, "We're going back empty-handed. There's no prey in the woods. Let's look again on the way back!"

"Hmm!" Three days later, they set off towards the main camp.

When we were halfway there, we suddenly heard Little Yellow barking at a certain spot.

"Huh~!" Out of curiosity, Lin Hao investigated the place where Xiao Huang was calling and found it was a snowdrift. After sweeping off the snow, he discovered a hole.

"Hahaha, it's the Earth Sheep Cave! We actually found it!" Lin Hao said with a laugh.

"It's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly'!"
