There was a large bowl of noodles that Yao Yao had prepared that morning on the passenger side of the jeep, which was for steaming Zhou Xinran's favorite large steamed buns.

Even with the air conditioning on, the minibus was hotter than the jeep. I was worried the noodles would spoil, so I put them in Xia Feng's car.

Anyway, Lin Xuan doesn't sit in the passenger seat much anymore, and Xia Feng is full of resentment towards the dough basin next door.

When Yao Yao checked the dough, she found that it had risen, but it smelled sour, and she didn't know whether it was a success or a failure.

When the soldiers saw that they were preparing to cook, they went over to help Yao Yao and Sun Youmei.

Lin Xuan broke free from Zhou Sanjie, who had been pulling her to tell stories to Brother Zhou, and then stuffed Peng Ze into her hands.

Peng Ze was pulled along in a daze, and Zhou Lerui dragged him to tell her older brother the story of the Misty Town and the mutated squirrel again.

If Brother Zhou hadn't stopped her, she would have pulled down Peng Ze's pants to show people the scratches on his buttocks caused by the mutated squirrel.

Zhou Xinyi was simply overwhelmed by his sister's enthusiasm upon their long-awaited reunion.

Looking around, his comrades and his second brother were happily stewing vegetables and steaming big buns, while Professor Liu and several researchers were half-dead, staring longingly at the pot of food.

Peng Yu's younger brother seemed to be in a daze. Peng Yu used to work under him, so he knew about his brother's situation.

It looks like no one is coming to rescue him.

As Zhou Lerui jumped around excitedly, describing for the third time how she had brutally beaten up the group of villagers who had robbed her on the road, Zhou Xinyi had the same thought as Zhou Xinran—to knock this silly little sister unconscious!

I made three large pots of stewed potatoes with mutated squirrel meat, added some wide rice noodles, and steamed two large pots of steamed buns.

They even used the two large pots they had taken from the village chief of the bandit village, but the amount of rice they cooked was still not enough for everyone.

The soldiers all carried their own mess kits, and each of them was given a full meal of vegetables and a large steamed bun.

Professor Liu and the researchers each received a salad bowl with a gold rim from Zhou Xinran's villa.

When they left the villa, they filled Pengze Space with almost everything that was usable in the villa.

The salad bowl was quite large. Zhou Xinran personally served vegetables to Professor Liu and several researchers, and also distributed steamed buns.

People who had been eating wheat soaked in water for nearly two months were almost moved to tears by the aroma of this seemingly ordinary potato stew with mutated squirrels.
