"Mainly because I think Zhuang Zhiqing is too cold-hearted towards people. She doesn't leave a good impression on me, so I'm probably prejudiced against her. But she really isn't good. Tian Tian and Pei Pei don't like her either. Hey, did you see her? She went out early this morning and didn't come back for quite a while. When she came back, her hair was a bit messy, and she had bruises on her neck, like she'd been scratched. Oh dear, those two bloody marks." Jiang Manyue made a creepy expression. "I wonder who she fought with."
Jiang Manyue was unaware, but Luo Jingyan knew perfectly well what was going on.
Aunt Hu is really something; it seems she successfully defeated Zhuang Feifei. I just wonder how many bruises she herself got.
Jiang Manyue chatted with Luo Jingyan about gossip for a while until almost noon. It was her turn to cook with Ning Peipei today. Ning Peipei came over and called her, "Manyue, let's start cooking."
Jiang Manyue hadn't had enough gossip with Luo Jingyan yet, but she couldn't let idle chatter distract her from her work. Reluctantly, she got up and went back to the main kitchen to prepare lunch for the educated youth with Ning Peipei.
Luo Changtian won't be coming back for lunch, and Xue Yanchen isn't here today either, so Luo Jingyan only needs to cook for herself.
She planned to make herself a bowl of hot and sour noodles. She had 100% pure sweet potato noodles and various seasonings in her online space. As long as she mixed the seasonings for hot and sour noodles in a certain proportion, she could make a very delicious bowl of hot and sour noodles.
The essence of hot and sour rice noodles lies in the sourness and spiciness, with a touch of numbing sensation.
Chili peppers, aged vinegar, and Sichuan peppercorn powder are essential ingredients. Add other seasonings such as salt, MSG, chicken bouillon, and oyster sauce. Fry some peanuts and dried soybeans and let them cool before using.
Cook the glass noodles in boiling water until they reach a certain consistency, then remove them and add your prepared seasonings. Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onions and roasted sesame seeds on top, and a delicious, savory, sour, and spicy hot and sour glass noodle dish is ready to serve.
She made a big bowl of braised pork for the two cats to eat first, and then made hot and sour noodles.
But the two little gluttons had just finished eating braised pork. When they smelled the hot and sour noodles, Fatty Tiger didn't react much. It wasn't the smell he liked. He preferred milder flavors. Black Tiger, on the other hand, ate all kinds of delicious food. He watched Luo Jingyan enjoy the fragrant hot and sour noodles and couldn't help but drool.
Luo Jingyan noticed it beside her, its eyes lingering on her rice bowl with longing: "Black Tiger, you want to eat hot and sour noodles too?"
Black Tiger, completely unable to resist the delicious taste, nodded weakly, "Master, this tastes so good, Tiger wants to eat it."
"Okay, I'll make you another bowl."
Seeing her get up, Black Tiger quickly said, "Master, you eat first. You can make more for me after you've finished eating."
"Alright then." Luo Jingyan continued to enjoy her delicious meal. After finishing, she immediately made a bowl for Hei Hu as well. She was afraid that Hei Hu couldn't handle too much sourness and spiciness, so she didn't put too much chili and vinegar in it at first. If Hei Hu wasn't satisfied, she could add more.
Black Tiger took a taste and indeed felt it wasn't flavorful enough, so he added more numbing and spicy flavors. Even Luo Jingyan couldn't resist the smell.
Black Tiger definitely has a taste for the extreme.
It was late at night, and everyone was asleep, including Luo Jingyan. It was pitch black and quiet everywhere.
Black Tiger and Fatty Tiger came out of Luo Jingyan's space and went for a walk outside.
They climbed over the wall of the educated youth settlement and ran to a wider area outside.
When they came together into a grove of trees, the black tiger was the first to spot a pair of eyes that shimmered with the same eerie green as its own.
It determined that it was a cat.
Besides black cats, tabby cats can also have eerie green eyes. It looked closely and realized it was a tabby cat.
The cat on the other side also saw them. Unable to determine whether the other was friend or foe, it cautiously let out a low meow.
Black Tiger patted Fat Tiger's bulky body with his paw. "Fatty, it looks like a woman over there."
Except when he's fighting, Gian is always in a lazy state.
"I'm not interested in lesbians. If you want to date someone, then go ahead."
Black Tiger shook his head: "I'm not interested in women either. I'm only interested in the delicious food my master makes."
"Me too."
"We truly are like-minded brothers. Let's go wander around somewhere else," Fat Tiger suggested.
"Okay, let's go to the fields to catch mice, get some exercise, and have a delicious mouse feast while we're at it."
"Do we still need our owner to roast it for us?"
"It depends on the owner's mood."
Just as the two of them were about to leave, they heard hurried footsteps behind them. It turned out that the tabby cat had caught up from behind.
Black Tiger and Fat Tiger stopped together, wanting to know what the tabby cat was up to.
Unexpectedly, the tabby cat did not stop. It leaped onto the black tiger and pinned it down.
Black Tiger was confused and tried to shake it off, but the tabby cat not only held Black Tiger down, but also bit a piece of fur on Black Tiger's back and refused to let go, and even made a provocative gesture towards Black Tiger.
Black Tiger was almost speechless. "Get down here. I'm a gay man, just like you."
The tabby cat was just an ordinary cat; it couldn't hear or understand what the tabby was saying, so it continued to lie on the tabby's back and rub it.
Black Tiger was on the verge of tears. Was it because it looked like a lesbian, or because it smelled like a lesbian?
Unable to shake off the fierce tabby cat on its own, it could only turn to Fat Tiger for help: "Help me get it off the cat."
Fat Tiger, however, was too busy having fun to watch the commotion. Only after he had had his fill of watching did he run over and swat the tabby cat away with one paw.
Black Tiger was already traumatized by the tabby cat's courtship earlier and had no interest in wandering around anymore. He hurriedly ran back to the educated youth settlement with Fatty Tiger, entered Luo Jingyan's space, and drank some brandy to calm himself down.
In order to enjoy the food in the space, Zhuang Feifei would leave the educated youth settlement every day, go to a dilapidated mud-brick house, enter the space, and enjoy the stockpiled goods inside.
After she finished eating a bowl of clam noodles in the space and came out of the dilapidated house, she was about to return to the educated youth settlement when she passed a bend in an alley when a person wearing a hat and a mask suddenly appeared.
The other person was wearing a dark blue, worn-out outfit. He wasn't very tall, and the clothes were a little loose on him.
She saw the other person holding a knife, aiming it directly at her. She reacted quickly, dodging the attack, but her cotton-padded coat was slashed.
Terrified, she instinctively took off running at a speed faster than a 100-meter sprint, but the person behind her was also fast and was about to catch up with her...
