An old man chuckled smugly.

Wang Hao wasn't sure what kind of official he was, maybe something like the village secretary.

"My family bought black pork before too! But it wasn't this fragrant or this tasty."

Sun Yaoyao mumbled with some doubt while munching away.

She pondered, could it be that since it's the apocalypse and she hasn't had anything good for so long, the pork seems particularly fragrant?

"There's too much fake black pork out there. Even if it's real black pork, they are usually farmed in enclosures, while ours are free-range.

This kind of black pork is only tasty when it's free-range, but the cost of free-range is too high. These days, only some rural areas still do it, mostly for their own consumption.

At most, they share it among the village people; it's not for sale."

Wang Hao thought the village secretary must be a pig farmer, as he got very excited talking about pigs:

"Also, even if you get pork just like ours, freshness is a big issue, and its taste can't match our freshly slaughtered, freshly eaten little black pigs."

"So that's how it is! Grandpa, you sure know a lot."

A few words from Sun Yaoyao had the old man grinning ear to ear, insisting on having a drink with her, promising to give her ten pounds of black pork to take home.

There's no doubt now.

This pig was definitely raised by the old man.

Wang Hao tried other dishes as well, like iron-pot stewed goose!

He had this at a steel plant before, but this goose meat was much tastier than the one at the steel plant, and the local chicken was also delicious.

There's no denying, the things in the countryside are very flavorful, as long as they're kept for their own consumption.

If they're meant for sale, then it's different.

They might not even be as good as those from farms!

Wang Hao considered trading some supplies with them for ingredients later.

There's no need to mention Yueyue's storage space, and his RV is stocked with many daily necessities.

These are all things they urgently need.

If that doesn't work, there are always guns and ammunition.

Even if there are Superpower Users among them, they would still like these things.

After all, even Superpower Users have limited strength.

"Chief Wang, don't just focus on the food! Come, drink, drink, this Maotai, I've treasured it for many years, bought it when I was young, it's very aromatic."

Wang Deming saw Wang Hao was only eating and not drinking, so he raised his glass to have a drink with him.

Wang Hao didn't refuse.

He's had Maotai before, in the villa district, it wasn't something rare.

But this Maotai's age was a bit shocking.

It was worth a drink.

So he downed a glass with him.

"Great! Refreshing! Good things come in pairs, let's have another."

Wang Hao had a second glass with him.

"Haha, I too want to have a drink with the young friend."

Others started taking turns toasting with Wang Hao.

Wang Hao seemed to be having a great time, accepting all, clinking glasses with everyone.

Soon his cheeks were red, a bit drunk, and his speech slurred.

"Brother, drink a little less, or you'll throw up later."

Sun Yaoyao said helplessly.

If he kept drinking like this, Wang Hao would definitely get drunk, and she'd have to take care of him then.

Besides, she'd never seen Wang Hao drunk, didn't know what he was like when drunk.

If he were to throw a drunken rampage, it wouldn't be a joke.

"What's a woman doing interrupting men drinking? Do you know the rules?"

A drunk old man said with displeasure.

Although society had changed, in the countryside, especially among the older generation, male superiority was still a thing.

When women interrupt drinking, it's very embarrassing for men.

"Exactly! What's a woman doing interrupting men drinking, go sit aside."

Wang Hao glanced at her, reprimanded her impatiently, and continued drinking with the others.

Sun Yaoyao pouted, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Hehe, got scolded, didn't you?"

Yueyue leaned over, giggling.

Not only did she not comfort Sun Yaoyao, but she also seemed to find some schadenfreude in it.

"Hmph! When he gets drunk, better watch out you don't end up in a ditch."

Sun Yaoyao scoffed lightly, trying to scare Yueyue.

"Brother would never, he'd throw you in a ditch before me, brother dotes on Yueyue the most."

Yueyue stated confidently.

Sun Yaoyao's eyes flickered, a sly smile crossing her lips:

"Since he dotes on you so much, why don't you persuade him? Drinking is bad for health."

"Um..."

Seeing Wang Hao actively drinking with the others, Yueyue hesitated.

"What's the matter? Afraid? Scared he'll scold you?"

Sun Yaoyao's grin widened:

"Didn't you say he dotes on you the most?"

"Hmph, I'll tell him."

Yueyue huffed lightly, reached out and tugged Wang Hao's sleeve.

"Hm? What is it, Yueyue?"

Wang Hao, having just had a drink with someone, turned to her, asking drunkenly.

"Brother, Yueyue is full, can you stop drinking and hold Yueyue to sleep?"

Yueyue asked timidly.

"What business do kids have meddling with adults drinking? If you want to sleep, find someone to take you, so fussy."

The same old man glared at Yueyue, displeased.

"Hm?"

Wang Hao suddenly turned to him, his gaze sharp, a pressure bearing down.

The old man hadn't seen this coming.

Suddenly half-sober, turned pale, sweating, and plopped down onto the seat.

Wang Hao set his glass down, burped, and looked at Yueyue, a gentle smile on his face.
