Chapter 238 His palate has become spoiled.

Zhao Yan was cutting meat at home when she suddenly heard a noise outside.

She hurriedly washed her hands and ran to open the door.

Outside the door.

Several workers carrying boxes had just come out of the elevator. The boxes were covered with thick cloth, and from their outlines, they appeared to be quite large objects.

The door to room 1202 next door was open.

Voices could be heard coming from inside from time to time. There seemed to be many people, but their voices were unfamiliar and they were not from the town.

Have guests arrived at Zhao Zhao's house?

Zhao Yan hesitated, not daring to go over.

Thinking about the unfinished meat in the kitchen, and knowing that Zhao Zhao had already returned, she decided to go back and cook dinner first.

At that moment, another elevator arrived at the twelfth floor.

Cheng Dongshu went down to meet the workers and came out just in time to see Zhao Yan.

"Auntie."

When he called out, Yun Zhao inside the house heard the sound, got up and went to the door.

Zhao Yan was wearing a thick old cotton coat, and because she had come out in a hurry, her hands were still covered in oil stains from cutting meat.

She stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to leave or stay.

His eyes lit up when he saw Yun Zhao appear.

"Zhaozhao's back! Are you having lunch at home? Dongshu brought over some meat this morning..."

Yun Zhao: "Okay."

Zhao Yan glanced at the sentries who had come out to help move things, and hesitantly asked in a low voice, "Your...friends, would you like to stay for a simple meal?"

Yun Zhao shook his head, "No need, just do what we need."

The children eat lunch at school.

She can't cook, so when everyone stays at home for dinner, Zhao Yan has to run around taking care of everything.

We'll treat her to a meal separately once she's fully recovered.

Zhao Yan nodded to herself. Seeing that Yun Zhao looked terrible, she hesitated to speak, but ultimately asked nothing and turned back to her room to cook.

The delivery workers started working.

Buildings in the wasteland era didn't have any designated spaces for air conditioning units or pipe holes.

Tao Haohao and Song Liang secured themselves with safety ropes, stepped onto the balcony, and built the outdoor unit bracket on the outside of the wall according to the dimensions. They also helped install the air conditioner outdoor unit.

With nothing else to do, Duan Xi looked around and decided to help put away the living room carpet to prevent it from getting dirty by people coming and going.

Yun Zhao and Rabbit were tidying up the clothes in the closet in the room.

She had very few clothes, and most of them were bought after she arrived at the base.

The items were quickly cleared out.

The rabbit was strong and dragged the old wardrobe straight out of the room.

"Sister Yunzhao, where did you put the cabinet?"

Yun Zhao had already made up his mind, "Let's move to 1201."

The old wardrobe only had some paint chips, which didn't affect its use. Moving it there would be perfect for storing the children's clothes.

"Okay." Rabbit called Duan Xi, and the two of them carried the wardrobe directly to Zhao Yan's house.

With the help of a group of high-ranking sentries, the furniture and appliances were installed extremely quickly, and everything was done in almost no time.

Two new air conditioners have been installed in the house, a brand new water dispenser sits next to the cabinet in the living room, and a new cabinet has been added near the entrance, with a newly purchased humidifier on it...

It's becoming more and more like a home.

"Yun Zhao, we're leaving now. You can rest and recover at home. We'll come to see you again in a few days."

Yun Zhao was folding clothes in his room, intending to temporarily put away his summer clothes.

She folded the clothes haphazardly and threw them all into the bottom shelf of the new wardrobe.

She heard Song Liang's voice and quickly walked out of the room.

Yun Zhao thanked everyone earnestly, "Thank you all for your help during this time. I'll treat you all to a meal when I'm better."

Duan Xi didn't stand on ceremony and teased, "Alright! Remember to buy plenty of meat then."

The four waved goodbye and took the elevator downstairs.

Xie Tu did not appear until he left.

Yun Zhao knew he was busy and didn't care too much. She tidied up a bit and called Cheng Dongshu, who hadn't left yet, to go eat next door.

The meat was bought by Cheng Dongshu.

I guess she wanted to thank people for the new job.

Yun Zhao accepted it without hesitation and said to him, "When you go to report for duty tomorrow, call He Xiang and sign up for your winter training camp together."

Cheng Dongshu agreed, but he felt somewhat uncertain.

In the next room, Zhao Yan had already prepared the meal. Seeing someone come in, she quickly went to the kitchen to bring out the food.

One meat dish, one vegetable dish, and one soup.

Yun Zhao looked at the white rice in the bowl and sat down quietly.

The food brought from the town has long been consumed.

The yellowish, fine, and hard rice grown in Qingshan Town will probably be unavailable in the future.

Yun Zhao waited for Zhao Yan to sit down before reaching for his bowl and putting a piece of meat into it.

As soon as she put the meat to her mouth, she smelled a strange, unpleasant odor, like the gamey smell that comes with mutated animal meat.

Yun Zhao's hand holding the chopsticks froze instantly.

Mutant animal meat is expensive, so throwing it away doesn't seem right.

It's not good to put the food back after picking it up with your chopsticks.

Yun Zhao thought for two seconds quickly, then pretended to be nonchalant as he put the meat in his mouth and forced himself to swallow it.

The strong, fishy smell assaulted my senses.

Yun Zhao quickly bent down and shoveled two mouthfuls of rice to suppress the strange smell.

Her brows furrowed instantly, her face contorted in a grimace, and she refused to touch the plate of meat again.

Why doesn't Xie Tu's meat have a fishy or gamey smell?

I don't think I felt this bad when I ate Zhao Yan's meat sauce before.

Has her palate become too picky...?

Cheng Dongshu across from them was eating with great relish. The sentry had a big appetite and ate a lot; before he knew it, half a plate of meat was gone.

"Zhaozhao, why aren't you eating meat?"

Zhao Yan noticed that she only picked out vegetables to eat.

Seeing her paler complexion than before, he picked up two pieces of meat with a pained expression, saying, "Here, eat more."

Yun Zhao picked up the bowl and dodged away, saying, "I've been feeling a bit feverish lately, so I'd like to eat something light."

Zhao Yan was taken aback: "Really?"

Getting a sore throat in the dead of winter?

Yun Zhao remained expressionless: "Yes, I'll be fine with vegetables."

Zhao Yan had no choice but to put the meat into her own bowl, saying, "Then I'll cook some bitter chrysanthemum for you tonight. I only cut a small piece of meat at noon, we'll eat the rest tomorrow."

Cheng Dongshu brought three catties of meat.

Even if you don't have a refrigerator at home, the meat won't spoil if you leave it on the balcony to freeze in this weather.

Yun Zhao: "..."

The thought of having to eat this stuff again tomorrow made Yun Zhao lose his appetite.

After finishing the meal.

Yun Zhao returned home and called Cheng Dongshu to help her deliver the warm clothes she had bought to the people in town.

Zhao Yan from my eighth uncle's family helped carry it over.

Yun Zhao also bought two new outfits for Aunt Zhao.

She didn't mention it, put the clothes into the bag, and handed them to Zhao Yan along with the clothes she bought for Pingping and An'an.

After doing all this.

Yun Zhao finally relaxed. She returned to her room, turned on the air conditioner, and lay down on the soft princess bed, not wanting to move.

The fatigue and weakness caused by mental overload are decreasing.

As long as she gets enough rest and stops using her mental energy too frequently, her mental state is now almost identical to that of an ordinary person.

Yun Zhao thought for a moment and then sent a message to Xie Tu.

How to cook mutant animal meat to remove the gamey smell?
