Chapter 22 Happy Life

Ruan Tian acted immediately, rolling up her sleeves to prepare delicious food for Ye Mofeng.

Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are a must-have, and Ruan Tian placed the frozen xiaolongbao on the steamer.

The egg pancakes were spread out and placed in the already heated frying pan. The sizzling sound of the oil bubbling out filled the air, and the aroma was already spreading.

The hot and sour soup is even spicier, with a thick sauce, and all the ingredients are fresh.

Ruan Tian casually placed the vegetable dumplings into the frying pan as well. As a food NPC herself, she was quick and efficient at handling ingredients.

Unlike her usual cheerful demeanor, Ruan Tian takes food very seriously.

These foods may look like frozen products, but they were all freshly wrapped according to Ruan Tian's handiwork.

The way she kneads the dough, the amount of seasoning she adds, and even some clever tricks she uses when cooking are all habits that Ruan Tian had in her past life.

The beauty of the trolley lies in this: it eliminates the tedious preparation work of chopping vegetables and kneading dough, and directly turns ingredients into ready-made products automatically.

The taste and freshness are both top-notch, like a bug in the system.

They are completely incomparable to frozen products.

Ruan Tian only needs to steam or boil them simply, and the taste is up to the standard of a state banquet.

What Ruan Tian likes most is that it doesn't require washing dishes.

Used plates can be placed in the sink and automatically cleaned, making it even better than a dishwasher.

Ye Mofeng sat on a small stool, staring at Ruan Tian's serious expression as she prepared the food. He never expected to see another side of her.

The fragrance in the air grew stronger and stronger.

For the first time, Ye Mofeng felt a surge of appetite. If other survivors saw this scene, they would definitely say it was a science fiction movie!

This is totally a science fiction movie. After the apocalypse, everyone is living a miserable life. Being able to eat a steamed bun is considered a top-notch delicacy.

But Ruan Tian makes xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and even hot and sour soup?

Vegetable dumplings and egg pancakes are all available, but the most insane thing is the bowl of wontons drenched in spicy red oil.

In just three minutes, Ruan Tian had prepared five dishes.

She first placed the steaming, fragrant xiaolongbao in front of Ye Mofeng, and said with a smile:

"Try it, but don't eat too much. There are other dishes coming up."

"Um."

Ye Mofeng lifted the lid of the steamer, and the steam seemed to have a life of its own, blowing onto Ye Mofeng's cheeks and wetting his eyelashes.

The cart also had disposable chopsticks, which Ruan Tian handed to Ye Mofeng.

He picked up a crystal-clear xiaolongbao with the tip of his chopsticks. There's a saying that goes, "When you pick it up, it looks like a lantern; when you put it down, it looks like a chrysanthemum," which describes xiaolongbao.

The crystal-clear steamed buns swayed gently in the air. The thin-skinned, generously filled meat buns had their broth, derived from the softened aspic, locked tightly inside during the steaming process.

He put the steamed bun in his mouth, and his tongue was slightly burned.

Ye Mofeng exhaled two breaths of hot air; this wasn't the first time he had eaten the steamed buns made by Ruan Tian.

But the timing wasn't right before, and I didn't have a chance to properly savor the taste of the steamed buns.

This time, Ye Mofeng carefully savored the taste of the xiaolongbao.

The delicate and firm meat of the bun is coated with broth and soaked in it, with a few scattered scallions. With one bite, the rich broth and the wheat flavor of the bun skin complement each other perfectly, exploding in your mouth.

It's so delicious you'll want to scream!

Especially in the apocalypse, Ye Mofeng hadn't eaten such delicious and hot food in a long time.

"Egg pancakes and spicy soup are here!"

Ruan Tian served the food to Ye Mofeng and told him to eat slowly.

The egg pancake has a golden-brown surface. When you press it lightly with chopsticks, it makes a crispy sound and crumbles easily.

The ingredients in Hu spicy soup are abundant, and it has a very authentic flavor. Just one bite can warm your body. The spiciness is accompanied by an indescribable sense of pleasure, making you want to stick out your tongue.

The vegetable dumplings were also very crispy, and the glass noodles inside were not mushy at all, but rather very chewy and delicious. The small tofu cubes were soaked with oil, and when sandwiched with the chives and glass noodles, they were incredibly fragrant!

Finally, the important guests made their appearance.

Spicy wontons!

The aroma of the red oil wontons is irresistible, making your mouth water. It contains the fragrance of scallions and chili peppers, but it's not pungent at all; instead, it really whets your appetite.

Seeing that Ye Mofeng hadn't moved for a while, Ruan Tian urged, "Hurry up and eat now, start eating while it's still hot!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mofeng no longer hesitated, took the disposable spoon handed to him by Ruan Tian, ​​and scooped up a wonton.

He bit down on a corner of the wonton, his lips burning slightly. He blew into the opening, and after getting used to it, he gently sucked, and the delicious flavor filled his mouth.

The wontons taste wonderful; the delicate wonton wrappers linger between the lips and teeth, constantly tantalizing the taste buds, making Ye Mofeng unable to resist quickly grabbing the next one, unable to stop at all.

This is such a blissful scene; it's something almost no survivor could imagine.

In such a brutal apocalyptic crisis, it's unbelievable that some people can actually live such an idyllic life!

Although Ruan Tian didn't need to eat, she still made herself a bowl.

Once the cart reaches level five, you can make these five recipes three times a day for free; the rest you'll need to exchange for crystal cores.

However, there is one advantage: after reaching level five, as long as there is a continuous supply of crystal cores, Ruan Tian can keep making delicious food.

She tasted a bite of the spicy wonton and nodded in satisfaction.

"It's very good, just the right taste, it's delicious."

Ye Mofeng had stopped talking and was engrossed in the food.

He is actually not a person with a strong appetite; he could go a month without eating.

Before the apocalypse, he had little interest in those delicacies, being busy with his studies and spiritual practice.

But the food that Ruan Tian makes is completely different!

After eating, I felt much better and even stronger.

That's right, the food that Ruan Tian makes is not just simple food, it can even add buffs.

It's like a support in a team, able to apply various buffs, providing both solid and delicious food while also adding buffs.

Ruan Tian is a bit too invincible. If others knew about this ability, they would definitely be the object of everyone's madness!

Ruan Tian smiled and said, "Take your time, there's plenty more."

Ye Mofeng nodded slightly, eating the food made by Ruan Tian with great seriousness.

Moreover, Ye Mofeng ate all of these dishes without wasting a single bit.

Seeing him enjoying his meal made Ruan Tian happy too.

After eating and drinking their fill, they picked up all the crystal cores from the ground. Not only was their little cart upgraded, but they also enjoyed some delicious food.

Ruan Tian patted her bulging belly with satisfaction.

They were preparing to head home.

When he went downstairs, he didn't see any zombies. The few that were there were all killed by Ye Mofeng, who dug out their crystal cores.

After they successfully exited the TV tower, they discovered that the Red Moon event had ended.

Ruan Tian let out a long breath and walked with Ye Mofeng through the alley they had passed before.

Then, Ruan Tian turned around and met the gaze of a very fat zombie.

"..." Ruan Tian was stunned for a moment, then recognized the other person.

It was that middle-aged man who deceived Ruan Tian.

The other person's obese body couldn't squeeze out of the alley; he had already turned into a zombie.
