The dishes included grilled black pepper beef tenderloin, boiled sliced pork, pickled fish, sweet and sour pork, corn with pine nuts, braised prawns, colorful cold noodles, bamboo shoots in chili oil, cucumber salad, and finally, Lin Xuan's favorite sweet and sour spare ribs.
The staple food is a whole pot of rice.
Xia Feng opened a bottle of red wine, and Lin Xuan even found a pretty glass to match.
He clinked glasses with Xia Feng and said, "Congratulations on our successful settlement in City A."
"Congratulations on successfully settling in City A."
"cheers!"
Lin Xuan downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. Ugh, it tasted sour and not good.
With a flick of her wrist, a lychee-flavored carbonated drink appeared in her hand. This is still the best drink.
Lin Xuan hasn't absorbed any plant energy these past two days, and her appetite has returned.
Xia Feng's culinary skills are no less than those of Aunt Nie from the Zhou family; every dish is delicious.
Together with Xia Feng, they finished all the food. Xia Feng washed the dishes, and Lin Xuan went to the field to pick watermelons.
After Xia Feng finished cleaning up the kitchen, Lin Xuan had already cut half a watermelon and thoughtfully put a spoon on it. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for her brother to come over and eat the watermelon.
Lin Xuan connected a projector to a tablet and projected a foreign TV series onto the wall opposite the sofa.
It tells the story of a white-haired witch who, along with three dragons and a group of people, fights over a chair with chrysanthemums tied in it.
It's said that this show had a terrible ending. Lin Xuan hadn't finished watching it before the apocalypse, but she found it today in the pile of files she had collected.
Xia Feng picked up Lin Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, and took the watermelon from her lap and put it into his arms. He took a few deep breaths and felt refreshed, all his fatigue gone.
Lin Xuan was used to Xia Feng coming to suck her whenever he had nothing to do. She relaxed and continued watching the white-haired witch walk out of the fire in a daze and even feed her a spoonful of watermelon.
"Tomorrow you can stay in the space and play with Xiao Huang. I'll renovate the outer room first. We still have some renovation materials."
Xia Feng scooped up Lin Xuan's hand that wasn't holding the spoon, and gently pinched each of her nails, which were covered in nail stickers. So cute.
"Yes, there are. Cement, sand, all kinds of pipes, tiles, doors, windows, toilets, and so on. I have quite a lot of things that I haven't exchanged yet."
Little Huang jumped onto the sofa, looking like it really wanted to eat watermelon. Lin Xuan scooped out a spoonful and fed it to the kitten. The kitten carefully picked it up and ate it, without spilling any watermelon juice on the sofa; it was quite clean.
Lin Xuan didn't mind and continued to scoop out watermelon for herself using the spoon she had used to feed the kitten.
"Okay, just leave the materials outside tomorrow. Tell me what kind of house you want it to look like and what style you like."
"Anything is fine, brother, it will look good no matter how you do it."
With Xia Feng around, Lin Xuan never had to worry about these things.
"Alright, I'll take care of it. By the way, there's a lot of empty land in the space, we can't let it go to waste. Once I've finished setting up the outer room, we'll fill it with plants..."
Xia Feng spoke softly to Lin Xuan about their future plans. Lin Xuan watched TV, ate watermelon, and fell asleep peacefully in her brother's warm embrace.
The next day, Lin Xuan woke up naturally and felt a stinging pain in her chest while washing up.
Looking down, she saw a large red and swollen area, rolled her eyes helplessly, and continued rinsing her mouth with her little bear-shaped toothbrush cup.
After brushing your teeth, place the bear toothbrush cup neatly next to the rabbit toothbrush cup.
Xia Feng had already prepared breakfast: tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, and pickled vegetables were laid out on the table.
"Brother, with our appetites, we could definitely make a lot of money doing mukbangs before the apocalypse."
Lin Xuan filled a small stainless steel bowl with tofu pudding and used two extra-large spoons to eat it.
"Don't open your mouth so wide, or you'll dislocate your jaw."
Seeing Lin Xuan's exaggerated eating habits, Xia Feng quickly reached out and lifted her chin.
"Hehe, brother, look, does Little Yellow want to eat tofu pudding? It keeps staring at me."
"It will stare at whatever we eat, so don't touch the cat while we're eating."
Xia Feng blocked Lin Xuan's hand from feeding Xiao Huang tofu.
Lin Xuan gave Xiao Huang two kisses from a distance, then turned to drink her tofu pudding.
After finishing their meal, the two left the space. Lin Xuan left some renovation materials behind as requested by Xia Feng, and then went back to the space to watch TV series, pet the cat, and eat snacks.
Xia Feng was out doing renovations by himself, and he had to go back to the space to cook for Lin Xuan at noon and in the evening.
After working like a dog for a week, the renovation of the new house is almost finished.
Lin Xuan also enjoyed a carefree week in the space. With Xia Feng around, she became the little cripple she was before the apocalypse again.
The interior design adopts a modern Nordic style, which is simple, warm, and environmentally friendly.
The bedroom features gray tiled floors, beige walls, and touches of light green stripes.
A vintage blue, washable rug is laid under the light orange leather sofa.
The TV is mounted directly on the wall without any background decoration, only a few shelves for decoration.
The ceiling is a straight-line suspended ceiling, and the bathroom and kitchen are covered with simple small white tiles.
Lin Xuan picked out some ready-made light-colored furniture from her space and placed it in the reserved empty space.
The kitchen was simply equipped with a range hood and furnished with an induction cooker, pots and pans, bowls and chopsticks, an oven, and a microwave oven – items designed to conceal their presence.
There are 5-horsepower standing air conditioners installed in the living room and on the terrace. Electricity is expensive now, so they're just for show. We'll turn them on when guests come over.
Appliances like refrigerators that need to be plugged in 24 hours a day are not needed; only a water heater and washing machine, which are used occasionally, are installed in the bathroom.
All the windows were covered with gray linen curtains with matching blackout linings, giving the whole room a warm and sophisticated feel, with a touch of lazy and casualness.
The terrace wasn't decorated in any special way; it was simply tiled, covered with a canopy, and completely enclosed with glass.
In Lin Xuan's previous life, almost every time it rained, it was corrosive acid rain.
Lin Xuan plans to plant some fruits and vegetables here in the future to protect the produce in the space. To prevent the soil from being polluted by rain, the space needs to be sealed off.
Xia Feng also nailed together a lot of vegetable boxes with wooden boards. He plans to ask Professor Liu for some uncontaminated soil and seeds so he can grow vegetables on the balcony.
The house windows were opened to air out the smell, and the two of them found a corner to enter the space, where the land in Lin Xuan's space also needed to be tidied up.
Xia Feng finally has a place to practice his earth and wind elemental abilities.
The wind pushed the mounds of earth on the ground, turning them over in the blink of an eye, transforming the eight acres of land in the space into rows of neat ridges.
Xia Feng began planning the crops to be planted in the fields.
First, the fruit tree seedlings that Lin Xuan had bought at the Agricultural University were neatly planted along the edge of the vegetable garden, forming a small circle around it.
About two acres were then set aside to grow various vegetables, while the remaining land was used to grow grain crops such as wheat, soybeans, millet, sorghum, corn, mung beans, and red beans.
Near the pond, an acre of paddy field was also cultivated and planted with rice.
