Even though it was just a temporary food street, merely for show, everyone in Xingfu Community was very focused and attentive.
"Miss Nan, Mr. Zhan, the banners for the food street have been put up, and some small colored lights have been added nearby. What do you think?"
"Miss Nan, why don't you come over here and take a look? I've prepared two little games here. Didn't you always have these at the night market?"
"Night markets are supposed to be lively and bustling, and they're not just about food, so I decided to bring some things from home to sell!"
"Of course, these things are just for show; they're not actually meant to be sold!"
Everyone's face was beaming with happiness, and Nan Xiangwan smiled too.
The food street has been in preparation for more than three months now. Although it has encountered many obstacles, it has finally reached the final stage.
The food festival simulation in Xingfu Community tonight will most likely be a success.
As Nanxiangwan has already seen, everyone is eager for the food street to open. As long as they work together, no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will overcome them.
Seeing the happiness and hope on everyone's faces, Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but be moved.
"That's great! We feel like we've finally found a sense of security!" Nan Xiangwan said.
As he spoke, he rested his head on Zhan Siyu's shoulder.
Zhan Siyu patted her head and said, "Yes, things will get better and better!"
"The night market street was really lively tonight. We felt like an ordinary young couple taking a walk and strolling around. I believe everyone in Happiness Community felt the same way tonight!"
The two of them strolled through the entire neighborhood. The street wasn't very long. Since the open space in the neighborhood was limited, they designed the night market street in an arc, encircling all the open spaces, trying to make it as long as possible.
Although they had slowed down enough, they still reached the end after twenty minutes.
They circled around and returned to the kitchen doorway. Nan Xiangwan took Zhan Siyu's hand and led him into the kitchen.
At this point, Nangong Chen looked rather disheveled, with his entire head covered in white flour powder.
Nan Xiangwan frowned slightly; what he was doing was such a waste of food.
"Nangong, why don't I do it? Flour is a very important food, and it shouldn't be wasted like this!" Nan Xiangwan said.
Since experiencing the apocalypse, food has become their most precious commodity. If anyone wastes food, Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan will definitely not let them off the hook.
Nangong Chen shook his head and said, "Miss Nan, you can rest assured, I will not waste food!"
"I'll keep all this dough and just put it in the microwave to cook later; it'll make a simple steamed bun or bread!"
"I will definitely finish all of this, don't worry!"
Nangong Chen didn't even look up, but calmly answered Nan Xiangwan's question.
Nan Xiangwan was helpless. It seemed that Nangong Chen had already figured out what to do.
Ouyang Qian said, "No way, Nangong, this flour hasn't been fermented or processed yet. If you put it directly into the microwave, it won't taste good!"
He just felt that Nangong Chen was pushing himself too hard. If he was wasting so much food just to make a rose cake and forcing himself to eat something that didn't taste good, then that was going too far.
Nangong Chen raised his head and said, "Look at what you're saying. No matter how bad this flour tastes, can it taste worse than nutritional supplements?"
"Besides, even if this dough tastes bad, I can still eat it with some side dishes, but I can't even eat those nutritional supplements mixed with fermented bean paste!"
His apt and witty remark elicited bursts of laughter from everyone.
The nutrients in Rose Star do indeed have very important uses. As long as you take one bottle of nutrients in the morning, you will not feel hungry until the next morning, and all the nutrients that the human body needs will be guaranteed.
The problem is, this nutritional supplement tastes awful.
People who have lived on Rose Star all their lives have been eating nutritional supplements since childhood, so they believe that food is like this.
But for these people from the Blue Planet who are used to eating delicious food since childhood, the nutritional supplements are hard to swallow.
Moreover, even in the apocalypse, they would try their best to cook a meal or two to soothe their souls. How could they possibly just eat this tasteless nutritional supplement?
Zhan Siyu nodded and said, "I agree with that!"
"So you deliberately failed so many times just to freeload?"
Zhan Siyu's statement was not without merit, since flour was a completely scarce commodity on Rose Star, and only Nan Xiangwan had it.
Nangong Chen has now mixed up so much flour under the guise of making rose cakes, so he has to take it back and eat it himself.
Isn't this just another form of freeloading?
Nan Xiangwan and Ouyang Qian laughed again; the conversation between these two was just too interesting.
Nangong Chen felt wronged and said, "Brother Zhan, how could you say that about me? Am I that kind of person?"
"Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I will definitely compensate you proportionally for the price of this flour. Miss Nan, when I get paid, you can have Zhan deduct it from my salary!"
Nan Xiangwan almost rolled her eyes. This kid really is just here to freeload.
"I can't be bothered arguing with you!" Nan Xiangwan said.
The space had a good amount of flour stored, but he said a few more words because he felt that Nangong Chen was wasting food.
However, this kid did this for Ye Chaoqun's sake. In fact, Nan Xiangwan also felt that this matter was a bit painful for Ye Chaoqun, so it was worth the waste to make rose cakes to make her happy.
Nan Xiangwan initially intended to let it go, but after thinking about it, she felt increasingly distressed.
"Give me this flour!" Nan Xiangwan said.
Nangong Chen looked up in confusion, then quickly shook his head.
“No, Miss Nan, haven’t I already told you? I will do my best to learn how to knead dough. This is a token of my appreciation for Chaoqun. How can I let you do it?” Nangong Chen said.
He thought Nan Xiangwan wanted to knead the dough for him herself, but that would leave him with only the task of adding rose petals to the flour.
These two steps couldn't demonstrate his sincerity at all, so Nangong Chen completely refused.
He said he would make a rose cake with the utmost sincerity and send it to Ye Chaoqun to apologize, and he will keep his word.
