Cloud Survival: Starting With an S-rank Talent

An Ran was thrown into a survival game, and from the start, she gained "Super Perception," as if her life had been granted a cheat code. While others scavenged for supplies during the day, ...

Chapter 181: Getting Ready for the New Year

Looking at the New Year's goods piled on the ground, everyone rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe it.

After all, I'm used to being cheated, so it's really hard to believe that the system can be so considerate.

But no matter what tricks the system plays this time, the Chinese people are happy.

I should be able to have a good new year this time.

An Ran put her things away, and the system stopped releasing the Nian beast. Seeing that it was almost evening, An Ran continued to clean.

After cleaning today, we will decorate Yundao tomorrow and celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.

After all, I don’t know how many more New Years I can experience like this.

Who knows if he will die while walking, so he should enjoy himself while he can.

She kept cleaning until about seven o'clock. Anran packed up her things and went back to cook.

I opened the chat area and saw that they were also discussing New Year's matters.

Chen Le: [Before I knew it, the year was almost over. We were so confused, busy just trying to survive, and now it's the end of the year.]

Wang Xiaosong: [Yeah, I'm busy and nagging every day, just to make my life better. It's no different from the old days of being a social animal, except I work even harder.]

Liu Zhenzhen: [This system is kind for once, even giving me New Year gifts, couplets, and the like.]

Zhang Wei: [I gave you quite a bit of wine. You can drink as much as you want this time.]

Zhang Wei is still alive and is a lucky guy.

Everyone was discussing the incident, unable to contain their joy in their words.

No matter what, the Chinese people attach special importance to the New Year. As long as they are not dead and their life is still decent, they will do something good to celebrate.

Celebrate that you are alive again and celebrate that you still have next year.

It was around eight or nine o'clock when Anran went to bed.

The next morning, after dinner, she gathered the others to help her decorate the Cloud Island.

Disaster turned over lazily and lay flat on his back, unwilling to move.

Just let it go.

Her Cloud Island is too big, and it would take a lot of time to handle it by herself. Having more helpers would save time and effort, and most importantly, it would be more lively.

The house is in the middle of Cloud Island and is surrounded by railings.

Anran divided the colorful lights into several parts and asked them to help hang them up, filling the railings completely.

There are so many colorful lights, enough to decorate the entire guardrail, and the extra ones can be hung on the fruit trees.

There was only a plug but no card slot on the colored lantern, so An Ran pulled out a wire, installed a socket, and plugged in an electric card for the colored lantern.

I tried driving it, and the whole Cloud Island was colorful, sparkling and beautiful.

But it's daytime now, and I can't see it even if it's lit, so I'd better wait until night.

After hanging up the lanterns, I went home and pasted Spring Festival couplets on the house.

I guess the system copied these from previous Spring Festival couplets. After all, it doesn't know how to innovate.

She asked Lao Liu to help hold down a few corners while she put tape on it.

Outside the gate is a pair of Changchun couplets, which are posted horizontally, followed by hanging money, and two red lanterns are inserted on both sides of the gate.

The house has only one main entrance and no yard, so she only posted this pair of Spring Festival couplets.

For the rest of the door stickers, you can just stick the word "Fu" horizontally or hang money on it.

It only took half an hour for the whole family to finish pasting it.

Anran looked at the house with satisfaction, which was full of red and prosperous inside and outside. It looked festive.

It is the custom in their place to make dumplings. An Ran just happened to have some dough to make, so after it was done, she woke up and chopped vegetables to make dumplings.

She had several kinds of meat, including bear meat, snake meat, and pork, and a full range of dishes.

Cut the meat into pieces, and chop the leeks, celery, cabbage, beans and other ingredients. Don’t prepare the stuffing yet.

If you mix the filling too early, it will easily lose its water.

Pack more so that she doesn’t need to cook when she does tasks later. She can just stir-fry some dishes depending on the situation.

She still pays great attention to the quality of life.

She also needs to eat rice cakes. She can try to make other things, but she really can't handle this thing.

Since the Nian Beast wasn't given here, An Ran planned to look for it in the trading area.

Fireworks and firecrackers can be set off on New Year's Day, there's no rush now.

After searching the trading area, she actually found rice cakes, including Korean rice cakes, Chinese rice cakes, and many other styles.

Anran used five kilograms of flour and one kilogram of vegetables to exchange for three kilograms of rice cakes. Her family had many people and they ate a lot.

After getting the rice cakes back and waiting for the dough to rise, Anran started making dumplings.

I moved the panel and other things to the kang in the bedroom, sat cross-legged, and made dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala programs of previous years.

Changjun transformed into a human form and helped cut the dough. Seeing that Anran was making the dumplings easily, he also felt itchy and joined in to help.

It turns out that just because you have human hands doesn't mean you can do human work. Looking at the horrible-looking buns, Chang Jun felt a little autistic.

An Ran laughed at him without any hesitation, and Chang Jun obediently went to cut the dough. He couldn't wrap the dish because there was too much dough and it wouldn't taste good.

However, he was not good at making dumplings, but he could steam them. An Ran just asked him to help watch the heat and light the fire. An Ran gave her instructions remotely, and at least the dumplings were not steamed into dough.

She spent the whole afternoon making and steaming buns, and asked Changjun to help watch the fire while Anran continued to make other buns.

For example, rice cakes, egg-filled ones, and sugar-filled ones all taste good.

If you’ve had enough of meat buns, you can change the flavor.

Thinking that I didn’t have that much time to cook, I stewed a lot of dishes in the rice cooker.

Chicken stewed with potatoes, pork ribs stewed with kelp, braised eggplant, braised pork, stewed bear paw, stewed goose, etc...

After the stew was cooked, I packed some of it to eat tonight and stuffed the rest into my backpack.

As for the New Year’s Eve dinner, I will prepare it tomorrow and eat stew today.

It was already past one in the afternoon after steaming the buns, and Anran planned to fry some twisted dough sticks.

When making the dough for steamed buns, I also made the dough for fried dough sticks.

Pumpkin, banana, apple and other things are added to the flour. This is the way they fry it here. She doesn’t know how it is done in other places.

She only remembered that when her mother was alive, the fried dough twists were crispy and soft, with a light sweetness, and she could eat several of them without any side dishes.

Thinking of her mother who passed away young, Anran felt both sad and relieved. She felt sad that she died young, but she felt relieved that she didn't need to enter this ghost game and risk her life to survive.

He sighed, put it aside for the time being, and continued frying twisted dough sticks with Changjun.

Pull the two soft noodles, stretch them, twist them into a twist, and fry them in a pan.

When you see the fried dough twists floating up and both sides are fried until golden brown, they are ready.

Use long chopsticks to pick it up from the pot and continue to put other fried dough twists into the pot.

She made a lot of dough and it took her a whole afternoon to fry all the fried dough twists.

I didn't expect that this delicate work would be more tiring than fighting monsters for a whole day.

Her waist is sore from repeatedly bending and standing up.

I hammered my waist, put away some of the fried dough twists, and saved the rest for the New Year.

When I looked at the time again, it was already evening. It was Xiaoba who turned on the lights at home. She was so busy that she didn't pay attention to the time.
