Chapter 115 No, I can't take these
“Ouch, ouch!”
Eggplant’s claws didn’t stop pressing Meng Ci’s waist, but he was hooked when he smelled the meat in the air.
He kept looking forward to Chenque, and his hands stopped pressing.
Shen Que had no choice but to say, “Press it well and I’ll cook some bones for you.”
When Eggplant heard this, he groaned twice, turned his head and started pressing the button attentively.
Chen Que had no choice but to take a casserole and put it on the stove, put the bones in it, threw in some scallions, ginger, cooking wine, and water and let it stew.
Shen Que continued to deal with other things, already planning which dishes to make in his mind.
Sweet and sour eggplant, scallion chicken, pepper and salt chicken wings, crucian carp and tofu soup, sauerkraut spareribs, and tender rabbit with corn.
Six dishes, just right for two people.
Meng Ci actually woke up when Shen Que was making sweet and sour eggplant, but he just turned over and continued playing Candy Crush.
When Eggplant saw that he couldn't press Meng Ci's waist, he squatted beside its head and asked for chicken legs.
Meng Ci is not a man who does not keep his word, and he will have to use eggplant to massage his waist in the future!
Therefore, Meng Ci quietly took out a chicken leg from the space.
Eggplant had already learned how to open the bag when she saw Meng Cigang holding the chicken leg in his hand.
With sparkling eyes, he snatched the package from Meng Ci's hand and squatted aside to open the packaging bag.
"You're like a starving ghost reincarnated. It makes me wonder if I'm abusing you." Meng Ci complained.
A meal of eggplant is equivalent to a whole day's meal for Meng Ci and Shen Que.
In order to celebrate the New Year, Meng Ci and Shen Que had a rich meal on the table.
It doesn’t matter if there is some left because we have the eggplant.
Looking at the size of Eggplant, Meng Ci suggested: "Shen Que, how about we call Eggplant next time we go out to chop wood?"
"Otherwise, its size would be wasted."
Shen Que nodded, "Okay."
And now, after careful training, Eggplant can easily knock down an adult, but his bite strength still needs to be practiced.
In this way, the two of them easily ended Eggplant's leisurely life of eating and sleeping every day.
And the silly eggplant is still struggling with the plastic bag of the chicken leg, completely unaware that its beautiful life is about to disappear.
After the meal was ready, Meng Ci picked a comedy movie and the two of them watched while eating.
Bang bang bang.
Suddenly they heard a knock on the door. Meng Ci and Shen Que hurried out and saw Zhang Mingtian standing outside with something in his hand.
I think he is here to wish everyone a happy new year.
After opening the door, Zhang Mingtian said cheerfully, "Happy New Year, brothers!"
"Happy New Year!" Meng Ci said.
Zhang Mingtian handed the bag in his hand to Meng Ci and said with a smile: "Thank you two brothers for lending me the rubber boat before, which allowed me to survive until now."
"This little thing is not a sign of respect."
"I hope the two big brothers won't despise me."
Meng Ci took the things without hesitation and said, "Thank you."
"You helped us a lot before, so you don't have to be so polite."
After all, it was Zhang Mingtian who brought so much soil that Meng Ci's space had infinite fertile soil.
The grown men couldn't say anything more intimate, so they just talked a few words about what had been going on outside in the past few days, and then Zhang Mingtian was ready to leave.
Meng Ci said, "Wait a moment."
"I also prepared some New Year gifts for you. Wait here for a moment and I'll get them for you."
Zhang Mingtian quickly refused, "No need, brother."
"Just keep the food for yourself. I don't need it."
Zhang Mingtian also joined the security team, going out early and returning late every day.
Although it is hard work, the food provided by the government, plus the vegetables grown by ourselves, is enough to feed three people if we save.
As for leaving his pregnant wife and mother in her sixties at home, Zhang Mingtian had no choice.
If we don’t go out, the whole family will go hungry.
So Zhang Mingtian found a few iron bars and modified the door. After he left, he asked them to block the door from the inside so that the door could only be opened when it heard his voice.
Meng Ci said: "New Year greetings are a way of expressing good wishes to each other."
"Why, you don't want to accept my blessing?"
Meng Ci's words were so serious that Zhang Mingtian was so scared that he dared not say no.
"Just wait here for a while, I'll be back soon." Meng Ci said and went into the house.
Zhang Mingtian and Shen Que were left staring at each other.
Zhang Mingtian considered himself a relatively talkative person, but looking at Shen Que's serious face, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Fortunately, Meng Ci acted quickly.
When he saw Meng Ci's figure, Zhang Mingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
The things are the same as those given to Yun Jingcen and the others.
Two air-dried fish, a piece of frozen meat weighing about five pounds, five sausages, and a bag of sugar.
When Zhang Mingtian saw the thing, he quickly stuffed it into Meng Ci's hand and then took two steps back.
"Brother, I can't take this thing. You should take it back immediately." Zhang Mingtian's words were the same as those of Yun Jingcen and the others.
Meng Ci walked out, pulled Zhang Mingtian and handed the things back to him.
"Just take it if you're told to. Besides, your wife is pregnant and needs nutrition."
When Zhang Mingtian heard Meng Ci talking about his wife being pregnant, he stopped pushing the thing back.
"Shen Que and I grabbed this fish during a rainstorm, and stored it after processing it."
"As for the other three items, we took them back from a robber's den we destroyed earlier."
"Because we don't know when the rainstorm will end, we eat very sparingly."
"We don't have much food now. If you really want to thank us, please bring back some more vegetable seedlings and seeds."
"That thing is more useful than these."
Once the fish is consumed, it is gone, but the rapeseed is different.
Some people will deliberately keep some of them until they are old, then dig out the seeds and continue planting.
The seeds of vegetables such as peppers, cucumbers, and cowpeas can be retained.
Moreover, most of the cold-resistant rapeseed seeds distributed by the government can mature within a month, so there are many trading points for these vegetables now.
Zhang Mingtian felt that there was nothing wrong with what Meng Ci said, so he quickly assured him, "Don't worry, big brother, I'll take care of the rapeseed you need."
After seeing Zhang Mingtian off, Meng Ci and Shen Que went back and continued playing games.
"Chen Que, why did you build this house so beautifully?" Meng Ci controlled his character, flew to Chen Que, and circled around his house.
White quartz blocks, stone brick walls, birch railings, end candles...
The two-story villa with a swimming pool built with these simple materials is really incomparable to the mushroom house that Meng Ci thought was very novel.
Shen Que was working diligently on moving bricks, and upon hearing this he explained, “It’s just something I do casually.”
Just tinkering around? If he can build it so well just by tinkering around, if he takes it seriously, then what's his role?
No, we cannot let Shen Que continue building like this.
