Chapter 31 Tanghulubai suddenly felt like a wronged person...

Ding dang dang.

There was a knock on the door, and Nan Qi rubbed his nose and went to open the door. Bai outside the door greeted Nan Qi politely and, under Nan Qi's guidance, walked into the small house where Nan Qi lived.

Arnold and Carter had never actually seen the Imperial God of War, but they also watched the news. In the military news, General White Smellide was an absolute "traffic star". Although he didn't like taking pictures, there were videos and photos of him leaked.

However, no matter how realistic the photos and videos are, they are not as impactful as seeing a real insect appear in front of you.

The two bugs looked stupidly at the handsome and elegant admiral who slowly walked into the narrow and cramped room, then nodded politely to them, both of them a little dazed.

It was not until Nan Qi poured water for Bai and took a few fruit candies and put them in Bai's palm, and Bai peeled them and ate them, that the two insects suddenly woke up and looked at the way Nan Qi and Bai got along with some surprise.

They knew each other before and got along very naturally.

The two insects looked at Nan Qi together, hoping that Nan Qi could help them solve their doubts.

This scene made Nan Qi laugh. He didn't explain anything, but asked the two bugs to go back first.

After coming out of the temporary command center, they received a call from the secretary of the Central Star who called himself Bai Xueais.

Nan Qi had already handed over the follow-up matters of the cooperative store opening to Arnold, so Arnold and Carter naturally did not go home.

Now that everything that needed to be discussed was done, it was time for them to go home and pack their things.

Nan Qi told them that after the mental power test tomorrow, they would soon follow Admiral Smellid back to the central star, so they had to make preparations early.

Although they wanted to know what was going on, the two brothers still listened to Nan Qi obediently, said goodbye to Nan Qi and went home.

Soon, Nan Qi and Bai were the only ones left in the room.

Nan Qi pulled a chair and sat on it backwards, his two slender arms resting on the back of the chair, his chin resting on his arms, his whole body leaning on the back of the chair and looking at Bai: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Can't I come over to see you if I have nothing to do?" Bai looked at Nan Qi's comfortable posture and thought of the kitten that always sneaked into his yard.

The kitten was also black, shiny and smooth, with an elegant body and light steps. It loved the swing chair in his garden the most.

Every time it comes, it will curl up in the swing chair, curl itself into a fluffy ball, and sleep soundly on the slightly swaying swing chair. Nan Qi looks like the kitten.

They are all very cute.

Bai lowered his eyes and gathered his thoughts: "I came here this time to tell you that I will go with you to the mental strength test tomorrow. I will wait for you at the testing center, and we will go to register after the test."

"Okay." Nan Qi understood that Bai was afraid of more trouble and wanted to solve these problems before returning to the Central Star. Of course, he would cooperate.

Bai came here just to tell Nan Qi about this matter and to see where Nan Qi lived. His purpose had been achieved, and he didn't plan to stay long. He stood up and said goodbye, but Nan Qi grabbed his wrist.

Bai stopped and looked back, and saw Nan Qi's eyes sparkling under the light, and his beautiful lips opening and closing: "Stay for dinner, let's get to know each other, after all-"

The little male insect's bright eyes flickered, and he smiled brightly. "After all, we're getting married anyway. It would be bad if we didn't know each other well enough to get caught. Oh, and we need to add your contact number."

Bai stayed there in a daze with this smile on his face. When he came to his senses, the small room was already filled with the aroma of food.

In the kitchen, the back of the little male insect was busy. He was sitting on a chair with the fruit candy given to him by the little male insect, watching the little male insect busying around, with the candy in his mouth.

Bai was stunned for a moment, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, making him feel a little at a loss and want to run away.

"It's really weird." Bai murmured.

In the kitchen, Nan Qi finished cooking the last dish and leaned over to shout, "What's so strange? Come and help me serve the dishes. It's time to eat."

Bai immediately responded with a "OK", got up and walked into the kitchen.

The aroma in the kitchen became stronger, and Nan Qi's face flushed slightly from the steam.

He handed the cold dishes to Bai Danzhai, picked up the casserole of stew and walked out. After putting the casserole down, he went back to the kitchen and brought out two plates of stir-fried dishes and a pot of rice before announcing that the meal was ready.

"Try it quickly. They are all home-cooked dishes. There are not many ingredients left and the shops are closed right now. How about I make you my best dish?" Nan Qi served Bai a bowl of soup.

"What's your specialty?" Bai reached out to take the chicken soup and took a sip. It was indeed fresh, fragrant, and rich, yet not greasy at all. He praised it wholeheartedly, "It tastes really good, not fishy at all."

"It tastes good, right? Drink more. Your body will be weak after your mental power erupts. Drinking more will help you recover faster."

Bai nodded: "Thank you, you haven't told me what your best skill is yet."

Nan Qi smiled. "It's braised food. Let me tell you, I met a big boss in the game. He said he would cooperate with me to open a store. Before you came today, all the details had been finalized. The only thing left to do is sign the contract."

"Oh, I see." Bai asked pretentiously, "Is it reliable? If it's not, you can refuse. If you want to open a shop, I can give you money. I told you that after we get married, you can use all the property under my name. I wasn't lying."

"I know," Nan Qi said softly, using his serving chopsticks to pick up some mixed vegetables and hand them to Bai. "But I don't want to open my own shop. It's too tiring. If I work with other bugs, I only need to provide the recipe and I can get paid. How great is that?"

As if he had thought of something, Nan Qi smiled cunningly: "You spend other people's money to do your own business, and you can also make a profit from it, and my contribution is just a small recipe, how worth it."

white:"……"

Suddenly I felt like I was being wronged.

Not wanting to continue this topic, Bai picked up the dish that Nan Qi had put in his bowl and took a bite. His eyes lit up and he looked at it carefully, only to find that he had seen this plant before, but in his memory, this plant was poisonous.

Bai knew, of course, that Nan Qi didn't mean to poison him. Thinking of Nan Qi's strange ability to find edible plants, Bai carefully asked, "Isn't this poisonous?"

"You mentioned Chinese toon, it's indeed poisonous, but it's fine as long as you eat a small amount. Blanch it before eating, and even if you eat a lot, it's fine."

Nan Qi enthusiastically explained to Bai: "In fact, many slightly poisonous plants can be eaten. Some need to be fried at high temperature, while others only need to be blanched. Some are simply divided into poisonous and non-toxic. Inexperienced people may make mistakes and of course get poisoned."

"So that's how it is. It seems we've missed a lot."

"Never mind," Nan Qi smiled with his eyes curved. "Some things are fine for some insects to eat, but some will cause allergies. Severe allergies can be fatal. It's a physical problem."

"Maybe desperate insects ate these things and died from allergies, so people thought they were poisonous and stopped eating them."

This is not his original world. You have to know that their ancestors "tested poisons on themselves" and desensitized many people to foods that they were allergic to, and passed on the genes to their descendants, so that they can enjoy so many delicacies in the world.

However, Zerg are very hardy, especially the females, so they shouldn't be that prone to allergies. If he finds something edible in the future, he should probably send it to a testing facility first. Eating a bad Zerg would be bad news.

It seems I need to talk to the secretary tomorrow and have this clause added to the contract.

Putting aside these messy thoughts, Nan Qi picked up another piece of braised purple dumplings for Bai with chopsticks and then started to eat attentively.

He was really hungry. In the past two days, he and Bai Fen had only eaten half a piece of bread at noon. Now that his stomach didn't growl immediately, he was already giving him face.

Nan Qi ate quickly and elegantly, and Bai unknowingly followed suit and ate quite a bit. After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he actually felt full.

Seeing him like this, Nan Qi looked at him with a smile and said, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen and took out a bag of red fruits from the cupboard.

That fruit is known to everyone. It is called sour fruit. As the name suggests, it is very sour. Many pregnant female insects like to eat it because it helps digestion. But he doesn't like to eat it.

Just as I was about to refuse, I saw Nan Qi take out a clean pot and a bag of expensive white sugar from the cabinet, and quickly turned on the fire to heat the pot.

Bai was curious, so he walked in and stood beside Nan Qi to watch. He saw Nan Qi scoop two large spoonfuls of sugar and a spoonful of water into the pot and start boiling.

"What is this for?" Bai asked curiously.

Nan Qi pointed at the sour fruit and said, "When you have time, please help me pick out the core and thread the fruit with chopsticks. I'll make you something delicious later."

Bai didn't understand what was going on, but he still helped obediently. He was good with a knife and quickly picked out the cores of all the sour fruits. He also pierced them together with chopsticks as Nan Qi said.

By this time, Nan Qi had also boiled the sugar. He took the sour fruit skewers that Bai had prepared, rolled them in the bubbling syrup, and placed them on a plate that had been prepared in advance.

After wrapping the remaining sour fruit skewers in sugar, Nan Qi ran outside with the plate, placed it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and set it to rapid freezing.

"Okay, wait three minutes." Nan Qi clapped his hands. "Just sit there and wait for a while. You can bring some back for Melon and Lunk to try. They care about you very much."

Bai didn't expect Nan Qi to be so thoughtful. Thinking of Melon's awkwardness towards Nan Qi, he accepted Nan Qi's kindness. Anyway, Melon can eat sour food. No matter whether Nan Qi's food tastes good or not, Melon should like it.

Just as Bai was thinking about this, the three minutes were up, and Nan Qi handed Bai the frozen sour fruit skewers: "Try it, I hope you like it."

Bai paused for a moment before reaching out to take the bunch of red, pleasing-looking sour fruits. Under Nan Qi's expectant gaze, he took a bite, determined to get his teeth hurt by the sourness.

white:"!!!"

What was this? The sweet, icy, and crispy coating, mixed with the unique tart aroma of sour fruit, exploded in his mouth. It was completely different from the sour taste he had imagined, which would make him drool at the mere smell of it.

He looked at the bunch of red fruits with one bitten off in disbelief, and suddenly looked up at Nan Qi: "What is this?"

"It's delicious, isn't it?" Nan Qi took a bite of the sour fruit skewer and squinted his eyes happily. "This is called Tanghulu. Besides sour fruits, many fruits can be made into it. It stimulates appetite and aids digestion."

After thinking for a while, Nan Qi said, "Wait until I find the right ingredients and make you some sour fruit pills. You can carry them with you. They are good for your stomach."

Bai nodded, crunched down a bunch of sour fruits, added the social account, and then politely said goodbye.

Nan Qi gave the rest to Bai to take away, watched Bai leave, and then returned to the room to clean the pot he had just used and put it away.

After doing all this, Nan Qi wanted to go online to see if Bai Xueais was there, but then he received a message from Bai Xueais.

[Bai Xueaisi: Nan Qi, Secretary Lechidon told me that there's a war going on over there. No wonder I couldn't contact you these past few days. I guess you've been pretty tired these past few days, so don't rush online and get some rest.]

I've been keeping an eye on the Brave Fighter game these past few days. The Brave Fighter game competitions won't resume until seven days from now. The results of the investigation into this accident and compensation will also be distributed within those seven days, and they should be quite generous.

Nan Qi raised his eyebrows, thinking that his business partner was quite attentive. He replied with an expression of knowing, and briefly described the situation here and the new terms in the contract, and ended the chat.

After taking a shower, Nan Qi lay on the bed and used his Star Brain to browse some news and gossip about the Central Star. Since he was going to the Central Star, he should at least understand the major forces on the Central Star.

As I watched, several friend requests popped up.

Nan Qi clicked on it and saw Mellon, Lenk, Todd who had deceived him with Lenk, and Peggy, whom he was not very familiar with.

The unified remarks of the four female soldiers and their friends made Nan Qi's mouth twitch.

Mellon, Lenk, Todd, and Peggy: The candied haws are really delicious. Thank you for the treat. Let’s add each other as friends.

Before Nan Qi joined the four female soldiers, another message popped up, which was a short video.

In the short video, four female soldiers started fighting over the last string of candied haws, and were finally suppressed by Bai Wuqing. Naturally, the last string of candied haws belonged to Bai.

Nan Qi smiled when he saw this. The head of the family, Bai, seemed to think the children were being a little naughty, so he gave the four little ones a good beating.

He replied with a laughing emoji and sent a voice message.

In Bai's room, the four who were ruthlessly suppressed heard the sound of Bai Xingnao receiving the news, and all looked at him eagerly.

Bai Bei felt helpless and didn't chase the four out. He clicked on Nan Qi's voice.

A deep, magnetic voice with a smile came out: "Please tell them that if they want to eat it, I will make some more tomorrow when I have time, but they need to bring their own ingredients. I have used all my ingredients, the most important of which is sugar."

Bai looked at the others and said, "Did you hear that? Why didn't I notice you guys were so greedy before?"

Mellon didn't feel embarrassed at all. He ran over, his eyes rolling. "Isn't it delicious? Don't you like it? I remember you love sweet and sour-sweet things the most. Didn't you realize that he actually made it for you? We just made it for you."

Bai: "...Don't you dislike him? Did you buy him off with a candied haws?"

"Hey, everyone has their moments of getting stuck in a rut. I can't say my IQ has really dropped like Peggy said." Mellon said nonchalantly. "Besides, didn't Lunk successfully enlighten me?"

"So?" Bai asked him, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Mellon chuckled and said, "Since the little male insect cares about you so much, you should test his skills and see what delicious food he can make. You can eat it, and we can also get some of the benefits."

white:"……"

It's really funny and sad. These useless friends sold him out just for food.

Bai didn't say yes or no. He stood up and blasted the four away. After he came back, the Star Brain rang again. It was Nan Qi who sent another voice message.
