Natural disasters + zombies (extreme heat, insect plagues, extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy rain, and other disasters followed one after another). Xie Purou had just completed her previous mission ...
Those who had already bought vegetables that day could only slap their thighs and blame themselves for buying vegetables so early when they smelled the enchanting and murderous odor coming from the store owner.
Some sensible old diners have already brought their families to stroll around the streets of the B&B.
What's the point of making it yourself? It's definitely better to try the food from the owner's home!
The family members each looked in different directions, not missing any newly opened store.
Hard work pays off, and they finally found it as they wished.
Some people sat down to eat, and some people - such as the owner who made the delicious food.
After putting the food on the table in the yard, he turned around to get the special bowls for the greedy little cats at home.
Canned food was also prepared, and their favorite vegetables and carrots were added to them.
Before I could even warm my butt up after sitting down, there was a knock on the door.
The two grown men looked around nervously at the door, afraid that someone would notice them.
Pei Xue: "You go."
Xiang Yuanhong: "You go."
Pei Xue: "Whoever speaks rudely will be expelled!"
Xiang Yuanhong: "Whoever is the eldest brother will go."
Pei Xue: "Big brother teaches the younger brother who made a mistake: if you make a mistake, you must admit it. You go!"
Xiang Yuanhong was about to refuse again, but was stopped by Pei Xue's glare.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I can't go."
Xiang Yuanhong cleared his throat pretentiously: "Ahem!" He reached out his hand and was about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside.
Xie Purou's pretty face showed no emotion, and it was this emotionless face that made people feel creepy.
"Please come in." Xie Pu Rou moved aside to make way for them.
She was so open about not arguing with them that it made their previous hesitation and rejection seem childish.
From a business perspective, Xie Pu Rou cannot come into conflict with them, even if it is only for the sake of apparent interests.
But she won't let herself be wronged.
The two of them sat at the dining table where Xie Purou was about to start eating. They looked at each other and she brought over a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Since the other party came to apologize, Xie Pu Rou didn't mind giving her partner a way out.
"It's freshly made. I haven't eaten it yet. Want some?"
"This... this is not good." Xiang Yuanhong rubbed his hands, eager to try.
"Okay then." Xie Purou collected one set of bowls and chopsticks, and handed the remaining pair to Pei Xue. "Then you can eat more."
Pei Xue took the bowl and chopsticks, and seeing that Xiang Yuanhong was being polite because he was in a bad mood, all the delicious dishes on the table were his!
"Then I'd rather obey than be disrespectful." Pei Xue smiled.
Xie Purou always felt that Pei Xue looked very kind when he smiled, and he had a good temper. Now that he sat in this position, the entire central base had to listen to him.
Pei Xue is such a good-tempered person, yet he comes to the door in person with Xiang Yuanhong. This old man must not be as simple as he seems.
Xiang Yuanhong, who was left aside, tried to smooth things over: "Look at me, I forgot to say that everything I have in my hand is for you."
He put the things down and said in a whisper, "I went too far last time."
Xie Purou raised her eyebrows. Xiang Yuanhong had a bad temper. She thought it was good enough that he could say this before they left, but she didn't expect him to get on the highway directly.
She is a junior in name only, so she cannot but give them face and also has to maintain their self-esteem.
"It's okay." Xie Purou took the thing from Xiang Yuanhong's hand and put it aside.
M80 screamed in her mind: [Host! They really want to apologize! The tea they have is just as good as the one you're drinking now.]
[It seems that Lao Deng was quite cruel to me, even giving me such a nice gift as an apology.]
Xie Pu Rou put the tea leaves away silently, lowering her head in thought.
Long before the cooperation, M80 had transmitted the information of the people in the base to her. They were investigating her, so she naturally wanted to know something about them.
Xiang Yuanhong is definitely a senior who deserves respect. He is a bit old-fashioned and has some patriarchal ideas.
But in Xiang Yuanhong's era, boys were required to go to the battlefield to fight, while girls only stayed at home to take care of their husbands and children. This kind of thinking was not uncommon in that era.
Does it mean that Xiang Yuanhong hates girls? Actually, that's not the case.
The information shows that adhering to the idea of having many children, he has many descendants.
Among them, his favorite was the only little girl among his grandchildren, and he spent a lot of his salary crystal cores on this girl.
Xie Pu Rou had no doubt that the old man doted on his granddaughter. If she could open a household registration book for her granddaughter, Xiang Yuanhong would definitely transfer all his pension to her.
This person is not inherently patriarchal, he is actually just poisoned by the rigid ideology of that era.
Besides, we cannot completely deny a person who has been a good person all his life just because he did something wrong.
Xiang Yuanhong had countless achievements and was a famous general in their time.
"Don't call me Lao Deng casually, it's impolite." Xie Pu Rou secretly taught M80.
"Then... could you please add another set of bowls and chopsticks?" Xiang Yuanhong smiled awkwardly.
"Sure, please sit down first." Xie Pu Rou smiled slightly and immediately turned hostility into friendship.
Only after serving more rice to both of them did Xie Pu Rou sit down.
The rice in the bowl is crystal clear and each grain is distinct. When you hold the bowl to your chest, you can smell the aroma of the rice, which makes your mouth water.
"Don't be polite, let's eat." Xie Pu Rou greeted them naturally, as if she was not facing an elder, but an old friend who came to visit normally.
The two of them were very rude and stretched out their chopsticks to the plate of steaming beef brisket stewed with potatoes.
The stewed beef brisket is bright red, and the potatoes are well-seasoned and slightly yellowed. The combination of the two is harmonious and attractive.
The aroma is so fragrant that the mellow flavor of beef blends with the natural fragrance of potatoes.
The beef brisket becomes soft and tasty after being stewed over low heat for a long time.
Xie Purou likes to dip some of the gravy below and then put it into the bowl.
The beef brisket, soaked in the rich soup, was chewy but not too hard to chew. The spicy hot pot took some time to make, so she stewed it for a little longer, making the beef brisket more flavorful and softer.
The potatoes are cooked soft and dense, and melt in your mouth with just a sip.
The beef brisket broth was truly exceptional. Xie Purou placed the meat in her bowl, and some of the broth stained the rice. The rich broth was perfect for mixing with rice.
I picked up a piece of rice soaked in soup with chopsticks, took a bite of rice, a bite of meat, and then a bite of small potatoes, and I was conquered as soon as I put it in my mouth!
If you eat this dish in winter, just a few bites will warm your body.
It can also be regarded as a new dish for the residents of the B&B who do not cook their own meals.
