Chapter 73: Let's have dinner together, everyone who collected fuel!



Because she saw some fruits ripening in the soil that morning, Yuewu came here in the afternoon to pick them, harvesting basket after basket of fruit. She was busy but very happy.

In fact, music and dance can be controlled by thought to pick the fruit, which is faster, but mental strength probably won't allow for many repetitions.

In addition, it was her first time encountering so many fragrant, ripe fruits, and Le Wu wanted to experience the joy of picking them.

I once visited a strawberry farm in that world. The entrance fee was 50 for an afternoon, and you could eat as much as you wanted. Afterwards, I picked a small basket that weighed 70. I was a complete scoundrel.

Le Wu would pick fruit for a while, then sit on the ground and eat it. Next to her sat an octopus and two squirrels, all munching on fruit. The scene was very anime-like, and Le Wu laughed at the sight.

How wonderful it would be if time could just flow by like this.

Yuewu put all the fruits she could pick into the Shuimu storage space, then took out a Japanese Wagyu beef steak that she had taken from the restaurant in Huiqing Building and cooked it in the kitchen.

Heat the pan over medium-high heat, add a little butter to coat the pan, add the steak, and once a browned crust forms, flip it over.

Cook for about one to two minutes, adjusting the time according to the thickness of the steak. Once both sides are cooked, it's ready to serve.

Arrange the meat on a plate, sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper, then cut it open. The pink meat is cooked to medium-rare. Take a bite, and you'll find it tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

Another glass of red wine, and all the flavors blend perfectly!

The food was finished in a few bites. I only used the knife once, and ate entirely with a fork. Next time, I'll use chopsticks; it'll be more satisfying.

I checked the time; it was almost five o'clock. It was already raining, so it got dark even earlier.

Feng Xuanlang and the others had not returned yet, and Yue Wu was a little anxious, fearing that someone else might have the same idea and that a conflict might arise due to the competition for resources.

There is no doubt that every era has exceptionally intelligent people who always dare to be pioneers.

Whether in times of scarcity or periods of rapid technological advancement, these individuals possessed foresight and the courage to seize opportunities, thereby changing their destiny and achieving success.

After clearing the table, Yuewu returned to the kitchen, cooked two pots of rice, and then started cutting pork to make braised pork and a winter melon and red date pork rib soup.

When they come back, they can have a hot meal and a delicious pork rib soup, which will be a reward for their hard work.

Prepare the following ingredients: pork belly, spare ribs, winter melon, goji berries, jujubes, ginger, scallions, cooking wine, rock sugar, star anise, bay leaves, and Sichuan peppercorn powder.

Prepare a pot, cut the pork belly into chunks and wash it. Put it in the pot and render out the excess fat. Set the meat and oil aside separately. Heat the pot with cold oil and add rock sugar. Cook over low heat until it turns slightly red and bubbles. Add the pork belly and coat it with the caramelized sugar. Add scallions, ginger, bay leaves, star anise, light soy sauce, and cooking wine. Stir-fry evenly, pour in enough boiling water, and simmer over low heat for forty minutes.

Boil water in another pot, put the chopped ribs into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Add cooking wine and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, and cook for five or six minutes before taking them out.

Heat oil in a wok, stir-fry the ribs until golden brown and set aside. Rinse the wok, add boiling water, then add the stir-fried ribs, scallions, dates, and star anise and cook for 20 minutes. Once cooked, add winter melon, goji berries, salt, and MSG. Cook until the winter melon is tender and then serve.

At 6:30, the surveillance video finally showed the person returning, along with three more SUVs.

Great minds think alike!

The food was ready when they heard someone knocking on the door. They went to open it and drove the car to the tunnel entrance to start unloading the oil drums.

When they were about to leave after unloading everything, Yue Wu called out to Feng Xuanlang and asked him to take the rice from the two rice cookers and the soup from the two insulated containers with him.

Upon seeing what it was, Feng Xuanlang was initially surprised, but then happily drove back to his residence with the others, carrying the food.

Yuewu counted and found that they had collected a total of 40 barrels of oil this time, no wonder they were only coming back now.

She locked the tunnel door, put all the oil drums into her spatial storage, and cleaned up the rainwater on the ground.

Back in the living room, Yuewu took out a bottle of juice, sat on the sofa, and relaxed to enjoy the pleasant time.

Now that we've replenished some oil, plus what Feng Xuanlang gave us last time, we can last for a while longer.

But I still need to stockpile it, because energy like this is always a necessity.

Le Wu took another sip of juice when her phone suddenly vibrated. She opened it and found it was a video sent by Feng Xuanlang.

I thought he had something important to say, so I answered the call. The video was pointed at the dining table, and then the phone camera scanned everyone's faces. Everyone was holding bowls, smiling and saying, "Delicious!", "Great cooking!", "I didn't expect Lewu's cooking to be so good!"...

Being praised by so many people at once made Yuewu a little embarrassed.

Finally, Feng Xuanlang's face appeared. He gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "The food you cooked today was delicious. Thank you for your hard work!"

Yuewu: "You guys have worked so hard, getting soaked in the rain all day. Eat more to replenish your energy."

Feng Xuanlang: "Okay!"

Even after the video call ended, Le Wu's face was still flushed. She felt she really wasn't suited to being praised, but she couldn't help feeling overjoyed.

The music and dance troupe has even decided to pack more food and store it in their space in the future, so that in the post-apocalyptic world where resources are scarce, it will be very convenient to eat pre-packaged food.

Because she was getting more and more excited, Yuewu had to force herself to look away, otherwise she felt she might not be able to sleep at all that night and wanted to make food until dawn.

Le Wu took out Mo Xiao Le's diary and began to read it again.

I've actually watched it several times already, and the more I read about Yue Wu, the more I want to know about Xiao Le's experiences at the end of the day.

The current situation differs from what Mo Xiaole described, and we don't know if something even more unexpected will happen in the future. We can only pray that things won't get too bad.

Before going to sleep, Le Wu played with the baby squirrel for a while. Su Su's clear eyes were so cute, and it nestled obediently in Le Wu's hands. It melted my heart.

Suddenly I thought of Xiao Guai again, wondering which cave it will end up in in the future.

Next time, we should pay attention to locating meteorites on the mountain, which will increase our chances of finding Xiao Guai.

After sending Su Su back to her space, Le Wu went to rest.

When I woke up this morning, the villa's WeChat group was in an uproar...
