The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 225 Selling Meat
"Mr. Liang, a few bastards took the opportunity to run away."

Niu Daming glanced at Liang Yuan secretly and said tentatively.

Although Liang Yuan just said that he would not restrict their freedom, no one really dared to believe it. Now he just wanted to test Liang Yuan's attitude.

If Liang Yuan got furious and asked them to arrest someone, then it could basically be said that everything Liang Yuan said before was bullshit.

Liang Yuan saw through his thoughts at a glance, just smiled and said: "What do you mean by running away? I just said that I will not restrict your freedom."

"Let them go wherever they want. There are many mutant beasts in this forest. If they go out, they may be lucky enough to find other shelters. But if they are unlucky, they may become food for the mutant beasts. Sigh."

His sigh immediately made everyone's scalp tingle and their hearts tremble.

Only then did they remember that this was Yangshan where mutant beasts could be seen everywhere.

It's too dangerous to run away like this.

Niu Daming also immediately realized that Mr. Liang really would not restrict their freedom.

But he also told them indirectly that he would not restrict their freedom, but if the miners wanted to escape on their own, they would most likely die in the mouths of mutant beasts.

Everyone understood, and it seemed that the only way out was to stay.

Liang Yuan ignored them and began to dissect the mutant pangolin.

As he began to peel the skin, he said, "Everyone, I have to tell you in advance, if those who ran away want to come back, my previous promise to them will be invalid."

"They can no longer live here, and there will be no food supply. They are also not allowed to dig for the supernatural stones here."

"I'll make this clear in advance, so that if someone breaks my rules and I kill them, you won't feel wronged."

He said this with a smile, but when Niu Daming and the others heard it, they were immediately startled.

Everyone understood that Mr. Liang was easy to talk to, but he was not easy to bully.

He pities you and gives you a place and conditions to survive.

But if you betray him, you will not end up well.

"Mr. Liang, don't worry. If they come back, I will be the first one to not let them go." Meng Guangli immediately expressed his opinion.

Liao Tao and Niu Daming also quickly expressed their opinions.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Well, that's not the way to say it. Give them a time limit. What if they just want to avoid this mutant beast and don't want to run away?"

"So, those who come back before noon will not be counted as defectors. I will still treat them as my own people."

After Liang Yuan said this, everyone suddenly felt that Mr. Liang was really kind.

If it were Tian Wei, he would have sent people to hunt him down and kill him long ago, and even people like them would have been implicated.

"Mr. Liang, let me help you kill the pigs. I used to be a butcher." Liao Tao took the initiative to help.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan handed him the knife with a half-smile and said, "Oh? Then you try it."

Liao Tao quickly took the knife and started skinning.

With one cut of the knife, the pangolin's skin and flesh were tightly stuck together, but he only managed to make a scratch less than one centimeter!
Liao Tao was shocked. He looked at the knife blankly, then at the pangolin skin and flesh.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "The skin and flesh of this mutant pangolin are very strong. You can't dissect it."

"You guys don't know how terrifying mutant beasts are. Why haven't you seen mutant beasts before?"

Liao Tao came back to his senses at this moment, and couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. He handed the knife back to Liang Yuan and said, "I have seen it before. Tian Wei and his other superpowers have also caught it before, and we have helped deal with it, but none of them are this perverted."

"This pangolin is too tough."

Liang Yuan asked, "Haven't you seen this pangolin before?"

Niu Ming raised his hand: "I encountered it once. Several people died at that time. The superpowers couldn't stop it. Later, Tian Wei took action himself and set it on fire. The pangolin then got into the mine and escaped."

"I didn't expect it to still be in the mine. I don't know how it survived."

Liang Yuan understood immediately after hearing this. As expected, although the pangolin's defense was strong, it was still aimed at physical defense and mental defense.

I'm afraid it won't be able to defend against damage like fire, ice, and thunderstorm.

But even so, this guy is very perverted.

If this skin can be made into leather armor and worn by other psychics, it will definitely greatly increase their defense and may even be able to defend against mental power.

Liang Yuan said: "Okay, let me do the autopsy, you guys just go do what you need to do."

He dispersed the crowd, but Niu Daming did not leave. He brought over the pangolin head which was as big as a bull's head.

Liang Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Why, Uncle Ming, do you have anything else to do?"

"Oh, how dare I call me Uncle Ming in front of you? Just call me Old Man Niu." Niu Daming said hurriedly in panic.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Well, what's the matter?"

"Um...Mr. Liang, are you selling this pangolin meat?"

Liang Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect that this old guy was so smart that he started to eat the pangolin meat he had just killed.

"You want to buy?"

Niu Daming smiled bitterly and said, "You know, I'm old now. Although I still have the strength to dig, my legs and feet are really not very flexible anymore."

"I don't think I have the ability to go out with the young people to hunt mutant beasts. If I go fishing in the water, the round trip is a bit far. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch much to eat in two days. I'm worried that I won't be able to survive the high tide for two days."

"You have ready-made meat here, can you..." He was embarrassed to continue.

But Liang Yuan understood what he meant.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What are you going to buy with?"

Niu Daming hesitated for a moment and said, "When I was mining, I secretly kept some supernatural stones. They are all top-quality fire and earth supernatural stones. Do you think I can trade them?"

Liang Yuan immediately laughed. As expected, these miners were all smart people. How could they really hand over all the supernatural stones they dug?
They would definitely secretly withhold a portion of it for emergency use.

As one of the leaders of the mining slaves, Niu Daming naturally has goods in his hands.

Liang Yuan estimated that if he had managed them forcefully before, they would rather die than give up these power stones.

Sure enough, only through the interaction of interests can a group be stabilized.

He immediately smiled and said, "Of course you can, Old Cow. I've already said that now that you are free, you can trade any energy stones you dig up with me."

"So, one power stone for one pound of meat, how much do you want?"

"A pound of meat! That's so much?"

This time, it was Niu Daming's turn to be amazed.

No matter what, he never expected Liang Yuan to be so generous.

You know, he thought it would be good enough if Liang Yuan could give him a pound of meat in exchange for ten supernatural stones.

I never thought that one pill could be exchanged for a pound of meat!

Liang Yuan did not make a random offer. This price was based on the trading market level of the four major camps.

At the end of every month, the four major camps would trade supplies at Gou Wu Pavilion on the top of the mountain.

The exchange rate for power stones and mutant beast meat is one power stone for half a pound of meat.

Normally, half a pound of meat can be eaten for three meals.

In other words, one power stone is equivalent to one day's food.

Liang Yuan gave them a pound of meat, which was definitely a special treatment.

Of course, this is also a benefit for them, so that they can sell the supernatural stones they dig to themselves as much as possible.

Liang Yuan smiled: "Do you want to buy it?"

Niu Daming nodded hurriedly: "Buy it, I'll buy it, I'll go get the power stone now!"

He ran into the mine in a hurry. It turned out that the supernatural stone he had hidden was still hidden in the mine and had never been taken out of the mine from the beginning to the end!
This old guy is so smart.

At the same time, he was not completely unaware of the value of the supernatural stones outside.

As one of the leaders of the mining slaves, he had naturally heard the psychics talking about the transactions of Gou Wu Pavilion.

So he knew very well that a piece of supernatural stone was only worth half a pound of meat.

Mr. Liang definitely gave them a fair price.

He was so happy that he just wanted to exchange all the power stones in his hand for meat.

After all, these power stones are useless to keep and cannot be eaten.

It’s better to switch to meat and put the profit in your pocket.

After a while, he came back with a cloth bag wrapped in rags in his arms.

"Mr. Liang, take a look. These are all the supernatural stones I have accumulated over the past few days. There are a total of eighteen large ones and more than thirty small ones."

Liang Yuan opened it and took a look. In the cloth bag, there were eighteen pieces of supernatural stones as big as fists, all of good quality and appearance. The rest were smaller pieces of supernatural stones.

"Why are there so many small ones?" he asked.

Niu Daming smiled bitterly, "It's hard to hide the big ones. When we were digging, Tian Wei's people were watching us. The small ones are easy to hide. We can just stuff them into our mouths or throw them into corners. When we take a break, we can just hide them quietly."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized, and he said, "The value of the small one is not that high. I have to explain this to you clearly."

"I understand, I understand. Just see how much you can convert." Niu Daming said quickly.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Eighteen big pieces count as eighteen pounds of meat, and thirty-six small pieces count as six pounds of meat."

"Oh, sure. No problem for me." Niu Daming was overjoyed.

Some of his small supernatural stones were only the size of eggs, and some were even only the size of winter dates.

Six pieces count as one pound of meat, so he is definitely getting a bargain. Liang Yuan smiled, put away the power stone, and asked directly: "Do you like to eat lean or fat?"

Niu Daming said without hesitation: "Fatty ones, I like to eat fatty ones."

Are you kidding? What these miners lack the most is oil and water.

Fatty animals are oily and can be used to make cooking oil, which is great.

Liang Yuan laughed and immediately cut off a large piece of meat with lard from the pangolin's belly.

He weighed it briefly and estimated that it was about right, so he took out an electronic scale and weighed it directly.

Less than twenty-five pounds, twenty-four pounds and six ounces.

Liang Yuan didn't care about the six ounces of meat and handed it to him directly, saying, "The extra is for you."

"Oh, thank you, thank you Mr. Liang."

Niu Daming's face was full of smiles. He quickly took the meat with a happy look on his face.

I gave away six taels of meat extra, which is a big profit.

He held the meat and bowed to Liang Yuan repeatedly, almost kneeling down to him.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Ask them, who wants to exchange meat? Hurry up, my people will come over to take over this place later, and I will take all the meat away."

Niu Daming's old face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly said: "Wait for me, I will go and ask now."

He quickly ran to the mine and shouted, "Come out quickly, come out quickly, do you still have any power stones? Mr. Liang is so kind that he lets you exchange your power stones for meat, one power stone for one pound of meat!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liao Tao, Meng Guangli and others rushed out hurriedly.

"What? Uncle Ming, what did you say?"

"Old Bullhead, are you serious? One power stone equals one pound of meat?"

"Fuck, is this true? Uncle Ming, is what you said true or false?"

Niu Daming patted the fat meat on his shoulder and scolded with a smile: "Little bastard, you have already got the old man's meat, are you serious?"

"Damn! Such a big piece of lard!" Liao Tao was shocked and his saliva was about to flow out.

Meng Guangli suddenly came to his senses and ran quickly back to his cave.

Liao Tao was slightly stunned, then he realized what was happening and ran away quickly.

Others were slow to react, and some were still wary.

"Uncle Ming, Mr. Liang doesn't have any conditions, right?"

"Uncle Ming, is Mr. Liang setting a trap?"

Niu Daming sneered: "Don't use your petty thoughts to speculate on Mr. Liang. Does Mr. Liang need those supernatural stones in your hands?"

"He is a superpower. Tian Wei was beaten to death by him. Do you think he would be short of this little bit of meat?"

"I'm telling you, if you go there too late, you won't be able to pick any fat meat. Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

Niu Daming's words instantly made everyone anxious!

"Fuck, you can even pick the meat?"

"What the hell!"

"I, I still have the power stone!"

"Don't push me, I'll go in first."

A group of people suddenly became anxious and ran into the mine.

Some of them ran too fast and the entrance to the cave was too small, so they were stuck at the door.

On the other side, Liao Tao and Meng Guangli, who reacted faster, had already rushed out of the cave with a bag of power stones and ran to Liang Yuan.

The two panted and shouted almost at the same time: "Mr. Liang, I want fat meat!"

The two of them immediately looked at each other and quickly untied the cloth bag at the same time.

Liao Tao shouted, "Mr. Liang, I have thirty-two supernatural stones, all as big as fists, of first-rate quality and color."

Meng Guangli also hurriedly said: "Mr. Liang, although I only have 28 pieces, I have a particularly large one among them, and most of them are rare earth attribute supernatural stones."

They are experienced miners, so they naturally know that among the ores here, earth-attributed special stones are actually rarer than fire-attributed special stones.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Although the earth-attributed supernatural stone has not been used for the time being, Tian Wei and others will still treasure it.

Meng Guangli is a smart man. When hiding the supernatural stones, he specifically chooses those with earth attributes.

Liang Yuan doesn't care what type of supernatural stone it is, as long as it is a supernatural stone, he will collect it.

Anyway, he has plenty of meat, so of course the more power stones he stores, the better.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. The two of you only weigh about 60 to 70 kilograms of meat. After the mutant pangolin is skinned, it weighs several hundred kilograms. There is plenty of fat meat."

He immediately began to cut the meat and weigh it, giving them large pieces of belly meat with lard.

The two of them immediately smiled and looked happy.

Then, miners continued to come running to exchange for mutant beast meat.

But their luck wasn't so good afterwards, because there was only so much fat meat, and if everyone shared it, it would soon be gone.

Fortunately, these ordinary miners did not have many special stones hidden in their hands, so each of them at least got some fat meat.

But in this way, only large pieces of lean meat are left on the pangolin's entire body.

Liang Yuan was very happy, as he didn't like eating fatty meat.

Not only he doesn't like to eat it, but Yangmei and other girls also don't like to eat it.

Unless you are really hungry and lack of oil and water, who would like to eat greasy fat?

Liang Yuan's patrol team members, following him, at least have no shortage of grease.

Because each of them can also exchange soybean oil, corn oil and the like from Liang Yuan.

On the contrary, red meat is quite rare. Before, everyone could only eat fish and not red meat.

Later, bamboo rats were found in the bamboo forest, but they could only eat a small amount of them, not a full meal.

When Liang Yuan decided to raise bamboo rats, he began to consciously prohibit the excessive hunting of fire bamboo rats, making it even more difficult for everyone to eat red meat.

Now, back at the camp, there are actually a lot of people scrambling for the remaining hundred pounds of pure lean meat.

Liang Yuan put all the remaining meat into his inventory. It was already dark.

At this time, the shouts of Yang Shenmin and others were heard from the other side of the forest.

"Mr. Liang!"

"Liang Yuan!"

Then Yang Shenmin came over with Ding Yan, Shi Haizhu, Wu Ying and Gu Feng.

These people are well matched, with the ability to attack, defend, lurk, and trap the enemy.

And Gu Feng also has a certain mental defense ability.

Obviously, this group was specially formed by Yang Shenmin.

Zhao Kai, Liu Feifei, Song Wen and the others stayed in the shelter. They had the combat power of Huang Han's golden python and Tang Ying's resonance, and Wang An for treatment.

Overall, it's a pretty good team.

For the first time, Liang Yuan felt that he could barely be a hands-off boss.

Although the two teams are still a little far from high-end combat capabilities, they should be able to handle general dangers.

From now on, I won’t have to run around in person for everything.

Thinking of this, he laughed and waved to Yang Shenmin and others over there.

"Why are you here so late?" he asked with a smile.

Yang Shenmin said: "Alas, the routes in the forest are complicated, and it is getting darker. Mutant beasts appear more frequently. We can only be careful."

This is indeed in line with Yang Shenmin's character, cautious and careful.

Ding Yan took a look at the pool of blood on the ground and couldn't help but asked, "What's wrong with the blood? Are you okay?"

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "What can happen to me? I have already killed Tian Wei, who else can cause me trouble?"

"Don't worry, I just caught a mutant pangolin and just dissected it. This blood is from that mutant pangolin."

Ding Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately looked around and asked, "What are you going to do here?"

Liang Yuan didn't waste any words and put forward his thoughts.

After hearing this, Yang Shenmin and others' eyes lit up and they looked delighted.

Yang Shenmin asked: "This mining area will belong to us from now on?"

Ding Yan also said: "Won't we have an endless supply of supernatural stones in the future?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, this place will be a hen that lays golden eggs in the future, so I specifically asked Wu Ying to call you over because I want to take root here."

At this point, he said, "If we occupy this place, the other three shelters will definitely be jealous."

"I don't know what the attitude of Wuwang Pavilion and Meihai Garden is, but Tu Long and his men from Fenghuang Temple will definitely not allow us to control the mining area like this."

"With such huge benefits, no one will remain indifferent!"
