Jiang Wan had observed their behavior and stepped out of the RV without making a sound.
She was probably the first one to wake up among these people. Oh no, there was also Cheng Zhen, who had also woken up a long time ago and had been observing the movements outside from inside the house. When he saw Jiang Wan get out of the car, he also came out of the simple bungalow.
"Your RV is very special, is it designed with oxygen storage? Would you mind if I came up for a seat?"
Jiang Ling asked with a smile, her appearance friendly and kind, without any resentment, as if she wasn't the one who wanted to call for help and kill them all just a moment ago.
Jiang Wan refused very decisively: "Sorry, it's not convenient."
Jiang Ling's warm yet alluring smile held a hint of something unusual, before she responded flawlessly: "Xiao Wan, you're so cute!"
As she spoke, she winked at her playfully, then walked ahead towards the bungalow where Cheng Zhen had come out, where there was a simple stone table under the window.
The young soldier following behind her placed the insulated box he was carrying on the stone table, glancing at her casually yet deliberately, his gaze wary, suspicious, and guarded.
Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen both noticed this glance.
Jiang Ling glared at him unhappily and scolded, "No manners! Xiao Wan is my own niece, practically your mistress. How dare you look at her like that?"
The young soldier originally wanted to confirm whether Jiang Wan and the others had turned into mutated zombies, but Jiang Ling's words turned his behavior into an unruly act of lust.
Then, in front of everyone, she kicked him and chased him away: "Get out! You're so rude, don't work for me anymore!"
Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen are not easily fooled. We'll just see through them but not say anything, and see what they do next.
Jiang Ling personally opened the lid of the insulated box, and a sweet aroma filled the air.
It has to be said that Zhusha City is quite luxurious. The oxygen concentration inside their city's protective shield is very high, about five or six times higher than the oxygen concentration in the air of Xiangcheng before!
Therefore, although they were in a refugee camp and their living conditions were very poor, their breathing conditions were not bad, and no one needed to wear an oxygen mask.
The people in Kowloon City have no shortage of food, but they are very short of oxygen, so they are now conserving as much as possible. As for the harm of the toxic gas in the air to the human body, they will endure it as much as possible.
But Jiang Wan doesn't need that. By Cheng Zhen's side, with his evolved superpower activated, any harmful toxic gas that could damage her body can't get close to her, let alone be inhaled into her body.
Without needing an oxygen mask, Jiang Wan could clearly smell the sweet aroma emanating from the thermos.
Before the apocalypse, there was a period of time, probably after she gave birth. Her mother, who was alive, would make her sweet soup every day, saying it was nourishing, and it had a sweet smell.
Even though she didn't feel that taking care of the child was so tiring that she needed nutritional supplements, her mother still forced her to drink it every night.
That sweet soup of love only ended when my mother fell ill and passed away.
Now that she smelled it again, she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. This is probably what they mean by appreciating something only after you've lost it!
Jiang Wan couldn't help but pick up the soup and slowly stir it with the spoon.
"Try it? This is a very helpful, nourishing sweet soup for women."
Seeing her interest, Jiang Ling smiled and began to introduce: "This is a beauty and health-preserving soup made from peach gum, bird's nest, and saponin rice. It can replenish collagen. If women drink it regularly, maintaining youth and staying 18 years old forever is not a dream!"
Cheng Zhen found it increasingly offensive to listen to!
Does this make it sound like his Jiang Wan is already an old hag? What do you mean by staying young forever, replenishing collagen, and staying 18 forever?
She's clearly young and beautiful, with fair and delicate skin; she doesn't need to drink this rubbish for extra supplements at all!
Tsk tsk, what kind of taste does this old woman have? Is she just jealous that Jiang Wan is younger and prettier than her?
Coming here first thing in the morning to cause trouble! Tsk tsk, he can't stand it. Could it be that the other person is a woman? He would have rolled up his sleeves and thrown her out long ago!
Jiang Wan couldn't help but twitch her lips as she listened, but her professional instincts kicked in, and hearing her describe this bowl of sweet soup with its miraculous effects, she couldn't resist giving her a lecture:
"First of all, the ingredients here are peach gum, snow fungus, and soapberry rice."
Peach gum is a gum-like substance secreted by plants in the Rosaceae family. It is often called "peach blossom tears." Simply put, it is a reddish-brown or yellowish-brown gum-like substance secreted by plants in the Rosaceae family, such as peach, apricot, or cherry trees, due to fungal or bacterial infections, insect pests, or epidermal damage.
The collagen lost by the human body is animal protein, so peach gum cannot replenish the body's collagen at all.
The so-called beauty benefits of peach gum have no scientific basis. Furthermore, it's a large-molecule polysaccharide that the human body lacks the corresponding digestive enzymes for, making it difficult to digest and absorb. However, peach gum is considered dietary fiber, which may offer some benefits to gut health, such as facilitating bowel movements.
"And the snow swallow..."
She scooped out a spoonful to examine it closely: "This is actually snow swallow, not blood swallow."
Blood bird's nest is bird's nest, but snow bird's nest is a natural gelatinous secretion of the Sterculia genus plant. Its properties are similar to peach gum. It is a large polysaccharide that is insoluble in water and is composed of polysaccharides and other substances. It can adsorb a large number of water molecules to form a gel. It cannot be digested and absorbed by the intestines and cannot produce energy.
However, by slowing down the absorption of sugar in the intestines and reducing the body's sugar intake, blood sugar can be lowered and energy intake controlled. Therefore, snow fungus can be used as a food for the adjunctive treatment of diabetes. It is also a type of dietary fiber, and eating a little can relieve constipation and promote bowel movements.
Functionally, it can improve type 2 diabetes and prevent obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, making it a true plant delicacy.
As for soapberry rice, commonly known as snow lotus seeds, it is the fruit of the soapberry tree. It is a high-energy, high-carbohydrate, low-protein, and low-fat food, and is rich in plant dietary fiber. It has the effects of nourishing the heart and blood vessels, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It is a precious pure natural green tonic food that harmonizes the functions of the human body's internal organs.
Putting these three ingredients together, if it were said to promote bowel movements, eliminate toxins, and maintain health, it would have some credibility. But to claim it's for beauty, skin care, and collagen replenishment? Ha, isn't that just a gimmick? Deputy City Lord Jiang, have you been fooled?
Jiang Ling's face went from white to red, from red to green, and then to black—it was quite a spectacle!
She forced a smile, trying to appeal to her familial affection: "Xiao Wan, this is something your auntie made for you early this morning. You've been traveling all this time since you left Xiangcheng, you must not have had such a soft and sweet soup in a long time, right?"
