Chapter 242: With a Husband Like This, What More Could a Wife Ask for?
Ever since he had some free time, Mu Ci started preparing food for Shi Jiaojiao every day.
Frying, stir-frying, cooking and deep-frying are all available.
In fact, after getting the little robot, Shi Jiaojiao never let Mu Ci enter the kitchen.
During the time I spent in Tiantai Community, in addition to dealing with people with bad intentions every day, I also had to be vigilant about weather changes at all times. Why waste energy on cooking? The food cooked by the robot isn’t bad either.
But things are different now.
They were locked up in the cave, and were so bored that hair started growing on them.
Not to mention that Mu Ci had made Shi Jiaojiao angry today. In order to make the little ancestor forgive him for stealing the ice cream, he decided to make Guifei Rice Porridge to make amends.
He knew that Shi Jiaojiao had been craving for this for a long time. The last time she saw it in a food video, her eyes seemed to want to penetrate the screen.
Guifei Rice Pao may sound a bit complicated, but it is actually not difficult to make.
After blanching the shrimp heads and shells, stir-fry them with oil until fragrant, then smash them with a rolling pin. Next, put the crumbs into the pot, fry until bubbles appear and then add boiling water.
After pouring boiling water twice, you can filter out the boiled soup.
When Mu Ci poured the soup back into the casserole, the whole house was filled with a deadly aroma.
Shi Jiaojiao was able to hold herself together at first, but after smelling the food, she sneaked into the kitchen and stared eagerly at the pot of thick soup in the hands of the man with broad shoulders, narrow waist and an apron.
fragrant!
It smells so good!
At this moment, her whole mood took a 180-degree turn.
How can I remember whether to eat secretly or not? How can being angry be more important than filling my stomach?
With a husband like this, what else could a wife ask for?
No matter how angry she is, she just doesn't know how to appreciate it!
At this time, Xiao Hei also followed the smell and came over. He sat on the ground and drooled.
Mu Ci listened to the swallowing sounds of the man and the tiger, and the curve of his mouth became bigger and bigger: "We will be able to eat soon."
Next, stir-fry the shrimp and scallops until fragrant, then add the loofah pieces. After stir-frying for a while, you can add the shrimp soup and fried rice.
The rice in the casserole was bubbling non-stop, and Shi Jiaojiao's heart was crackling like fireworks.
In addition to soaked rice, Mu Ci also made a plate of spicy lemon shredded chicken and a plate of broccoli and mushrooms to eat together.
The rice porridge was very hot right out of the pot. Shi Jiaojiao was so scalded by the heat that she was choking, but she couldn't stop eating it.
With the addition of fresh shrimp and scallops, the soup is thick and fresh, with the unique freshness of loofah particles and the crispy texture of fried rice. Every bite is unsatisfying.
I don’t know what Mu Ci’s hands are like, how can he cook such delicious food.
Shi Jiaojiao ate voraciously, and Xiao Hei ate with grunts, forming a sharp contrast with Mu Ci who was eating slowly and leisurely.
"Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."
The man and the tiger turned a deaf ear.
In the end, Jiaojiao drank four bowls in one breath, and left the table holding her stomach.
She hadn't eaten so much in a long time. Even though she was not fat, her belly was swollen as if she was pregnant.
She touched it furtively, then quietly pulled her pajamas down to cover it up.
Xiao Hei also showed off two basins, then lay on the ground and licked his lips.
With this meal as an apology, Shi Jiaojiao of course generously forgave Mu Ci.
······
In a blink of an eye, another five days passed, and it has been a whole month since the polar day arrived.
The temperature is measured every day and there is no change for the time being.
Time passes very slowly when you stay indoors.
There was no sound to be heard from outside. Sometimes Jiaojiao even wondered if she and Mu Ci were the only ones left in the world.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry about Wang Jia and Tang Wei.
At least I still have some space to breathe. I don’t know if Wang Jia and the others will suffer from autism after the polar day ends.
She was just thinking of Wang Jia when the next second Wang Jia's excited voice came from the intercom.
"Jiaojiao, try the aloe vera! Oh my god, it's so delicious!"
Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows: "Are you short of water over there?"
Wang Jia immediately explained: "No, Tang Wei and I are very frugal. We just had nothing to do, so we wanted to try it."
After that, she added: "It's delicious, but it's still a little small now. The flowerpot hasn't grown full yet. I'll wait until it's fat before eating it."
When Shi Jiaojiao heard this, she slowly looked towards the two pots of plants that had already sprouted out of the cave. Mu Ci had no choice but to divide them into two more pots, but the pots were again filled with aloe and cactus.
Is this still small?
She asked, "How big is your place now?"
Wang Jia glanced at the flowerpot on the table, gestured, and then said: "It's probably twice as big as when I first brought it home. In fact, it's growing quite fast..."
Jiaojiao didn't hear the rest of the words. She stared at the pots of aloe vera and cactus in a speechless manner.
Could it be that the pots in her cave have become spirits?
Mu Ci thought about it, took out a knife and cut off a piece of aloe vera. After peeling off the skin, he cut a piece and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he fed Shi Jiaojiao a piece.
"It's very juicy and sweet, and tastes the same as Wang Jia described." Shi Jiaojiao said after swallowing it.
Mu Ci said “Yeah”.
Now the key is, why do these two pots of plants grow so much faster than the others?
Shi Jiaojiao squatted beside the flowerpot, her eyes almost cross-eyed, but she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Just as I wanted to cut another small piece to taste, my arm was pulled up.
Mu Ci said: "Go to sleep first, and study it tomorrow."
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the time and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
After the polar day begins, their daily routines can be said to be quite regular.
Go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 6am.
Nowadays, there is no distinction between day and night, and the biological clock is easily disrupted. If you stay up late at this time, you will really not know what day it is.
The first thing I did when I woke up the next day was to get fully armed and start measuring the temperature.
When the door was about to close and the light disappeared, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly looked at the aloe vera and cactus behind her.
"Brother, I think I know why they grow so fast."
Mu Ci was looking at the value on the thermometer. When he heard this, he turned around and looked at her.
"We didn't notice it before, but today I suddenly discovered that every time I opened the door to measure the temperature, these pots of plants were exposed to sunlight."
Mu Ci paused, shifted his gaze to a few pots of plants, and then said, "Call Qin Jun and ask the officials to do the experiment."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded.
Since I don’t have the equipment and conditions, it’s more reliable to leave this matter to the official.
Qin Jun was also surprised when he received the call.
Now everyone in the city is hiding underground and no one knows anything, or no one has ever thought about it in this regard.
Who would have thought that sunlight, which kills people, could actually accelerate the growth of plants?
Are aloe vera and cactus the only plants that meet this criteria, or can other plants do the same?
He didn't know, but he knew that as long as the news was true, there would be fewer survivors in S City and even the whole country.
In fact, the government has never stopped researching potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are the easiest to grow and have the highest yields.
But maybe God just doesn't want humans to live such an easy life.
No matter how much we study these two kinds of grains, it is difficult for them to survive. Occasionally, some of them survive by chance, but they either fail to produce fruit or the fruit they produce is poisonous and cannot be eaten at all.
Because of this, the country is so worried that it has lost so much hair.
So this news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone!
The authorities immediately launched research on the plants, and Shi Jiaojiao also told Wang Jia and the others the news.
However, she was not sure how long the illumination time should be, so she could only determine it based on the time she put the thermometer in each place.
The door is opened six times a day, each time for no more than five seconds.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is better than being sunburned to death.
Moreover, Shi Jiaojiao didn't expect that after telling Qin Jun the news, there would be an unexpected surprise.
【Gratitude value＋121】
Not many, most of them should be official researchers and leaders.
But even so, she was quite satisfied, knowing that she hadn't received any trading coins in her account for a long time!
