Chapter 115
Yan Hong rubbed her sleepy eyes and felt a little doubtful about her eyesight.
A few people put two tables together, and two teams with completely opposite positions sat around the table waiting for breakfast.
"I say," Yan Hong said slowly, "Don't you think this scene is weird?"
They had just fought a life-and-death battle not long ago, and now they are sitting together to have breakfast. Isn't this world a little too ridiculous?
Chen Yunliang was wiping his glasses and couldn't see anything clearly. He casually threw the used wet wipes to the person sitting next to him: "Shaoxingyang, help me throw it away."
Bayard silently pinched and took off the wet wipes on his shoulder, took a look at it and threw it into the trash can.
Neil timidly avoided Yan Hong who was sitting next to him and asked the captain in a low voice: "Captain, do we really have to eat with them? They won't poison us, will they?"
The captain glanced at him and said, "You can also choose not to eat and find a way to solve the food problem yourself."
Neil, who was starving, touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten for three consecutive days. If he didn't eat something, he would really starve to death. Let alone fighting, he even felt weak when walking.
In this situation, we will definitely not be able to defeat the opposing team, so it is best to pretend to be obedient for now.
Thinking of this, Neil stopped struggling and sat quietly in his seat waiting for breakfast.
Shaoxing Yang was fiddling with disposable chopsticks out of boredom, stacking them vertically. He had already stacked up to the fourth one, and the tower of wooden chopsticks was so shaky that it seemed like it would fall down at any time.
Bayard couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the person opposite him doing such a boring thing.
If their condition wasn't so bad, he wouldn't have sat here and had breakfast with his opponents.
Not long ago, several people met in the corridor. They thought that a life-and-death battle would follow, but their stomachs started growling before they even started.
Even if he could recover a little by drinking the blood of the deformed creatures, it would only be a drop in the bucket. What he needed was real food.
So when the woman opposite him inexplicably asked if they wanted to have breakfast together, he agreed for some reason.
Thinking about it now, it was really weird. The scene was like a dream.
Still a nightmare.
In the kitchen
Lu Shiyu opened the lid of the casserole. The rice porridge in the pot was already boiling. Next, he should add the preserved eggs and shredded pork that had been cut in advance. After cooking for another five minutes until the rice porridge becomes thick, he added chopped vegetables and a spoonful of salt and it was ready to be served.
On the other side, Tang Zeyu, wearing an apron, stared at the frying pan intently, constantly turning the pot stickers inside with chopsticks. After Lu Shiyu's guidance, he was able to fry the golden pot stickers very well.
Even when he has plenty of time, Lu Shiyu still habitually makes use of his free time, such as making some egg pancakes while cooking porridge.
Beat eggs and flour in a bowl and mix well until it becomes a smooth batter, then add some crushed ingredients, such as diced ham and chopped green onions, then add black pepper and salt and stir. Brush a thin layer of oil in the pan, scoop a spoonful of batter and spread it into a pancake, fry it until solidified, then turn it over and continue frying until both sides are golden brown. When the omelet is cooked through, it can be removed from the pan and the process of spreading and frying the pancake can be repeated.
"Tang Zeyu, check if the eggs are ready."
Tang Zeyu put down the chopsticks he had been holding and looked at another small pot next to him. The water in the pot was already boiling, making a gurgling sound, covering the eggs inside.
Tang Zeyu turned down the heat and continued to cook for a few minutes. She took the eggs out after they were thoroughly cooked. After a few minutes, she soaked them in cold water to speed up the cooling process, and the egg shells would also be easier to peel.
Bayard pinched who knows how many wet wipes, looked at Chen Yunliang who was still wiping his hands with a wet wipe and said, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Chen Yunliang simply turned his head and said, "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly without my glasses."
Being under someone's roof, Bayard endured it again and threw the wet wipes into the trash can.
Lu Shiyu and Tang Zeyu brought breakfast to the table. Because there were more people, they specially made some extra.
Neil was originally afraid of the other members of the Eagle Squad, but his eyes widened when he saw the food.
The captain looked at Tang Zeyu in a pink apron and sneered disdainfully: "You can actually cook?"
Tang Zeyu didn't hesitate to arrange the dishes and said, "Is it something to be proud of not being able to cook?"
The captain choked, but couldn't say anything to refute.
"That's about it," Lu Shiyu said, wiping his hands with a towel. "You can eat now."
Chen Yunliang then slowly put on his glasses, and together with Yan Hong Shaoxingyang, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started to distribute the porridge without any hesitation.
Neil was extremely greedy, but he didn't dare to eat it directly. He looked at the captain hesitantly, but the captain didn't even look at him. Instead, Bayard handed him an omelet.
"Eat it."
"Bayard..."
Neil was just moved for two seconds when he heard Bayard say in a very low voice: "If it's poisonous, remember to tell me immediately."
Neil: “…”
It turned out that he just wanted him to try the poison.
Neil took the omelet and took a big bite, as if he was biting Bayard's head instead of the omelet.
With Neil's refusal, Neil's attention immediately shifted from Bayard to the omelet.
You can feel the rich egg aroma the moment you put it in your mouth. The fresh eggs and flour are mixed and quickly solidified on the hot pan, releasing the purest warm aroma. The flour has a light cereal aroma and a natural sweetness. The chopped green onions and diced ham provide a layered taste for the omelet, giving people the most direct sense of satisfaction.
Seeing Neil eating voraciously and the captain also starting to eat, Bayard finally chose to pick up his chopsticks and served himself a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge.
The porridge base is made of rice that has been cooked for a long time. The rice grains almost melt in the pot, releasing the sweetness of starch and the aroma of grains, with a gentle and earthy feeling, providing a mellow and dense taste for the whole bowl of porridge.
The distinctive flavor of preserved eggs blends with the rice porridge, transforming the pungent taste into a deep and mellow flavor. The lean meat has been completely marinated in advance to remove the fishy smell and bring a hint of salty fragrance. At the same time, the shredded meat has a delicate texture, and the slightly fibrous shredded meat does not appear abrupt in the soft glutinous rice porridge.
The salty and rich preserved egg and lean meat porridge has just the right flavor, and when it’s steaming hot right out of the pot, it’s simply irresistible.
When Bayard put down the bowl, he had finished a bowl of porridge. Even he was a little surprised that he had finished it without realizing it.
The three of them had their own little movements while eating, but it did not affect the Eagle Squad's normal eating at all.
When Lu Shiyu bit into the crispy pot stickers, the salty and sweet gravy gushed out instantly, making people open their mouths to gasp, but then they quickly closed their mouths and continued to enjoy the scorching delicacy.
The pot stickers fresh out of the pan are crispy when you bite them, with a slightly burnt outer layer. You can clearly hear the crisp sound when you bite them, but the dough on the top of the pot stickers is tough, not as thin and crispy as the bottom, providing a gentle sense of support.
The meat filling inside is mixed with a little chopped vegetables. After seasoning, the meat filling exudes a solid and mellow meat aroma, which is neither fishy nor greasy. Once you bite open the skin, the soup will instantly flow into your mouth. The chopped vegetables make the meat filling no longer greasy and unbearable, but instead has a refreshing plant fragrance.
The members of the Eagle Squad ate with both hands. At first, the captain didn't understand why. The Eagle Squad arrived at the hotel earlier than them, but they acted like they were very hungry.
But he understood it completely after a while. Seeing that most of the plates were cleared away right after they were served, the captain felt a sense of crisis in eating for the first time.
If you eat with this group of people, you won’t feel full if you eat a little slowly.
The three of them had no choice but to join the team sucked in by the storm halfway, and they actually made eating breakfast feel like they were competing on the same stage.
As Yanhong snatched the last pot sticker from Neil's chopsticks and put it into her mouth, the entire table full of breakfast was eaten up.
The three people who had finally filled their stomachs subconsciously relaxed their vigilance. After all, the people from the Eagle Squad did not seem to be hostile, and if there was a problem with the food, the other party would not be spared either, so the three people felt that they were safe at this time.
After eating and drinking, Lu Shiyu took the initiative to ask: "Why do you keep chasing us?"
The captain asked back, "Who said we were chasing you? We simply can't go back."
Lu Shiyu understood that the other party could not go back the same way he came.
Chen Yunliang asked, "My idiot brother didn't ask you to do this mission just to get you to cause trouble for us, right?"
Bayard said, holding a toothpick in his mouth, "Yes, he just asked us to protect him. But if we eliminate anyone or anything that might threaten him, it can also be considered protection. Ha, after all, he paid us well."
Chen Yunliang pushed his glasses and did not agree or disagree with the other party's explanation.
Tang Zeyu wiped his mouth, looked at the captain and asked, "I've always wanted to ask, do I know you?"
With a snap, the chopsticks in the captain's hand broke into two pieces.
"You asked me if I knew you," the captain gritted his teeth at every word. "How dare you ask such a question..."
Tang Zeyu said calmly, "I really don't remember when I met you. If you can give me some hints, I might be able to remember."
The captain was so angry at Tang Zeyu that his teeth itched. He repeated, "Okay, okay, okay."
"You don't remember, do you?"
"Um."
The captain rolled up his sleeves, revealing his hands covered in scars that looked like some kind of pattern, twisted and weird.
"All of this is thanks to you!"
Then the captain pulled open his collar and saw similar marks inside.
"And these! And..."
As he said this, the captain was about to lift up his shirt, but Lu Shiyu quickly held him down.
"Stop, stop, stop! We all know it's like this inside, right? No need to dig any further!"
If you keep pulling it off, I’ll have to take off my clothes!
The captain then gave up and put his clothes back.
Tang Zeyu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, as if he was really trying to recall it seriously, but after a moment he raised his head and said seriously, "I don't remember."
team leader:"!!!"
Just before the captain was about to flip the table, Bayard and Neil held it down in time, and together they prevented the table and the dishes from flying out.
The captain was on the verge of going crazy, but Tang Zeyu still looked calm and composed, which made people even more angry.
Lu Shiyu held his forehead as he watched the farce unfold before him, then looked at the captain helplessly and said, "You could actually just tell him your name. He's beaten so many people before, he won't be able to remember it if you show him this."
