Ten minutes later, Du Yue looked at the empty plate and Xia Ju, who was still hungry. She asked tentatively, “Are you full? What else can I get you?”

Xia Ju propped her chin with her hand and lowered her head. “Anything’s fine.”

Before Du Yue got up, Xia Ju added, “Meat will do.”

Since she had already thought about what to eat, why did she say ‘anything’ before?

Du Yue found it funny, but she still took out four meat dishes from her s.p.a.ce- braised pork trotters, pork buns, vinegared fish, and braised beef brisket with tomatoes. When the four dishes were served on the table, they were still steaming, and the fragrance naturally wafted out along with the steam. If it were not for the range hood next to it, the smell would have wafted out through the gap between the window and the door. It would probably make the surrounding neighbors cry.

When people are depressed, there was nothing that could make them happier than eating meat and desserts. Xia Ju picked up the chopsticks and ate heartily. Her cheeks were puffed up like a squirrel. It was not until she finished eating a pig’s trotter that she had the strength to talk to Du Yue.

“Why ami so blind? Why has there been no progress in the research this time?”

This was the first time Xia Ju had mentioned the research to Du Yue. Du Yue took the opportunity to ask, “So, many days have pa.s.sed, but there’s no progress at all?”

“It’s not that there’s no progress at all. I’ve already developed a drug that’s very effective against both eggs and adults. As long as it’s sprayed in the soil, the insects or eggs will definitely die upon exposure!”

“Isn’t it already a success?” Du Yue looked at Xia Ju in confusion.

Xia Ju’s face was bitter, and she seemed very depressed. “If someone accidentally touches it, they’ll also die.”

Du Yue was speechless. ‘Good heavens, if we take this out and let everyone use it, the entire base will be wiped out!’

Xia Ju was still immersed in her frustration. “How can I adjust the toxicity of the drug to kill the bugs and eggs without affecting the health of the human body?”

Du Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “I have some pesticide in the s.p.a.ce. Shall I take some out for you to study? Maybe you can find the answer.”

Xia Ju slapped her head when she heard that. “That’s right! How did I forget about you, Doraemon! Give them to me. I’ll study them now!”

Du Yue helplessly smiled and said, “You can eat first and then study.”

“Alright, alright! Then I’ll eat faster!” As Xia Ju spoke, she lowered his head and started wolfing down her food.

After helping Xia Ju solve the problem, Du Yue stood up and went to help He Xing fry the mushrooms. The three of them liked to eat fried mushrooms very much. Since they had already made it this time, they might as well make more. They could put it in the s.p.a.ce and eat it directly if they wanted to. When Du Yue and He Xing were done, they realized that Xia Ju had disappeared. The plates on the dining table were also empty. Du Yue walked over and cleared the tableware. “She ate so much for one meal. I guess she’s planning to lock herself in her room for the whole day again!”

Xia Ju used to eat three meals a day every day. However, ever since she started her research, she was like an animal that had started hibernating. Sometimes, she could even survive for three days after eating a meal! Scientific research made people lose their appet.i.te!

Early the next morning, Du Yue took out the fresh mushrooms and fungus. She asked He Xing to bring them to Sun Yu. Of course, they were not giving away food for free. The food that they deserved would be given to them. When the time came, they would let the people from the first base bring them back. Du Yue wanted to help them as much as possible, but she did not want to be a good Samaritan. An equal exchange was fine, but she definitely could not do it for free! He Xing went out alone, but when he came back, he brought another person with him.

This person was none other than Zuo Mingdong. Zuo Mingdong did not even have time to exchange pleasantries as soon as he entered the door. He went straight to the point and said, “I saw the mushrooms you planted. They’re better than those in the base in terms of size and growth cycle, so I followed He Xing to learn from you.”

Du Yue was not surprised by Zuo Mingdong’s arrival. Zuo Mingdong was a person who was dedicated to the base. As long as he found a chance to make the base better and let everyone live a better life, he would seize it. Therefore, Du Yue had already prepared everything and was just waiting for him to come. Now that Zuo Mingdong was here, Du Yue did not keep him in suspense and took out the things she had prepared. “This is the nutrient solution that Xia Ju specially developed for mushrooms. The usage method and the dosage ratio are all on this piece of paper. As for the fungus, I only planted two common types. There are other varieties. I can give you some as well.”

Zuo Mingdong looked at the things on the table and was so excited that he could not even speak..
