Chapter 58: Meat Falls from the Sky
"Yeah," Xi Shi glanced at the tomatoes picked out and the beef taken out of the refrigerator, and nodded, "You can tell me what you want to eat, and I will try to make more."
"It's better to cook them all so we can eat on the road. Otherwise, we can't take these with us raw." Antonio came over with a few lunch boxes and a few bundles of small plastic bags. "You can put them in there."
"We can't throw it here, it's such a waste." Xu Sa stared at a pile of raw meat and some frozen fish and shrimp, swallowing his saliva, "I want to eat braised pork, dry pot shrimp, and spicy crayfish."
"Sweet and sour pork ribs, Dean loves it"
"Water...boiled...meat slices"
“Boiled fish”
…
"Don't worry, I'll remember it." The group began to announce the dishes in a lively manner. Xi Shi repeated it, and after it was correct, he turned around and asked Lu Weiyi who had been silent, "What do you want to eat, little brother?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head.
His actions lowered the lively atmosphere. In order to avoid embarrassment for everyone, Lin Yimu continued, "Then please make some boiled shrimps. The young master also likes them."
Xi Shi nodded and began to prepare the necessary ingredients. Gu Qingyue and Lin Yimu assisted him, and Dean helped pick out the vegetables that were not spoiled.
Everyone else was busy with their own things, except Lu Weiyi, who was obviously absent-minded. However, he saved several lives in this group of people, so no one had any objection to this.
"Brother Damu, what happened to him?" Xu Sa had been on his way since he woke up. He had not had time to communicate the current situation with Lu Weiyi, nor did he rush forward.
Lin Yimu glanced at Lu Weiyi and sighed, "Mingxu said he would pick him up, but he hasn't arrived yet."
When Xu Sa was sent to prison by his mother, he had just been admitted to university. He was 18 years old, in the prime of youth. He found it difficult to adapt to that cannibalistic place and suffered a lot. It was not until Lu Weiyi went to see him and saw the injuries on his body that he went to find Zhuang Mingxu.
Originally, it would not have been a hindrance to Zhuang Mingxu, but because Lu Weiyi spoke up, he had to use a lot of favors to open up connections, which allowed him to have smooth sailing in the next few years.
The possibility that Zhuang Mingxu would just leave Lu Weiyi alone is basically zero.
"Did something happen?" Xu Sa asked in a low voice.
Lin Yimu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Xu Sa turned around and looked at Lu Weiyi. This man always looked cold and indifferent. He always thought that Lu Weiyi didn't care about Zhuang Mingxu at all. After all, when that man brought him to his side, he had a tough attitude. This was something everyone in the entire Kyoto circle knew.
But now it seems not to be the case.
It's hard to understand if this doesn't happen to you. Xu Sa didn't know how to comfort people. She took a piece of chocolate, opened it, walked over, and stuffed it directly into Lu Weiyi's mouth, "Eat a bite, it's so sweet."
"If you know it's choking, give it back to me." Lu Weiyi took it in his hand, but had no intention of eating it.
"What...are your plans?" Xu Sa asked after careful consideration.
"Plan? What plan?" Lu Weiyi didn't understand what he meant.
"What are your plans after returning to Qingyuan?"
"Looking for Zhuang Mingxu?" Lu Weiyi gave him a look that asked him if he was stupid.
"Then what?" Xu Sa rolled his eyes silently.
"Then? That's all." Lu Weiyi had one goal after his rebirth, and that was to find Zhuang Mingxu.
"Have you ever thought about how you're going to live in the future?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head and said, "Zhuang Mingxu will think of it."
Since Xu Sa went to jail, he only has this one friend left. He actually wants to discuss his future life with him, but seeing his condition, Xu Sa doesn't know what to say.
"I've always wanted to ask," Li Zhuang, who was not far away, turned his head and looked at Lu Weiyi with a smile, "Who is this Zhuang Mingxu you mentioned? How can you be sure that he will come to pick you up?"
"I..." Lu Weiyi didn't know how to describe the relationship between the two for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "sugar sponsor."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people who were busy with their work paused for a moment, and several people looked over with incredulous eyes.
"Sponsor... is dad the dad?" Not knowing what it meant, Xi Shi asked Gu Qingyue beside him in a low voice.
Gu Qingyue shook his head, not knowing how to explain.
"Master, don't talk nonsense." Lin Yimu was helpless with Lu Weiyi's explanation, "Mingxu and Master are lovers. They grew up together and have been together for many years."
"I'm only a few years older than him, but look at the fashionable nicknames used by couples. It makes me feel like there's a generation gap between us," Gu Qingyue said to Lin Yimu standing beside him.
"Young man?" Lin Yimu smiled and accepted the step he handed over.
Although others found it strange, they did not ask further questions.
"Leave a few here to cook, and the rest go to other places to look for things. Who's going?" Li Zhuang still looked nonchalant and looked around.
"I'll go," Xiong Jie spoke first.
"I" Antonio also stood up.
Gu Qingji didn't say anything and just walked over.
Xu Sa patted Lu Weiyi on the shoulder and asked, "Is there anything you want? If we meet you, I will bring it back to you."
Lu Weiyi shook his head.
Liu Rui followed closely behind Xu Sa and walked over.
"I'll go too." Lin Yimu shook off the rotten vegetable leaves in his hands.
"Okay, then you four, be careful, the rest is up to you," Li Zhuang said, he jumped up, grabbed the edge of the vent, climbed up in a few steps, and pulled the people behind him up one by one.
Xi Shi's cooking skills are really amazing. After all the ingredients were prepared, he connected three induction cookers at the same time, one for stewing tomato and beef brisket soup, one for stir-frying braised pork, and another for boiling shrimps. The three dishes were cooked at the same time, and the various seasonings were placed in an orderly manner without any disruption of the rhythm.
After a while, the boiled shrimps were the first to come out of the pot. Gu Qingyue peeled one despite the scorching heat, dipped it in the sauce and stuffed it into the mouth of Dean, who was standing beside him with bright eyes. Dean smiled and slurped the scorching heat while giving a thumbs up and praising, "Uncle, it's delicious, awesome."
Gu Qingyue also peeled one and tasted it. The frozen shrimp might taste a little worse, but for someone who eats instant noodles and biscuits all day, there is really nothing to complain about. "This sauce is very fresh."
“Eat it all if you like it. There’s still a lot left. We can eat it when they come back.” I finally felt that I wasn’t so useless, and I wasn’t so cautious when practicing.
"Then we won't be polite," Gu Qingyue said, taking the plate and leaving some for Xi Shi, then he took the rest of the plate and walked towards Lu Weiyi with Dean, "Come, let's eat together."
Lu Weiyi was still holding the chocolate that Xu Sa was opening in his hand, and he had no appetite at all.
Gu Qingyue had gone to look for Gu Qingji before. Although they were in the same city, he knew too well the feeling of knowing that the other person would definitely come to look for him, but he didn't wait for him. However, he didn't agree with Lu Weiyi's behavior. "Weiyi, looking for someone is a strenuous job. You have to make sure that you are healthy first, so that you have the energy to do it even if you search everywhere. Otherwise, if you collapse before you even see the person, how can you continue on the road?"
He understood the principle, but it was too difficult to do. Lu Weiyi nodded and forced himself to share most of the plate of shrimps with the two of them.
There was a lot of frozen meat in the freezer. After filling all the lunch boxes, the rest were all placed in stainless steel rice bowls. There was still a large piece of raw meat left. It would be a pity to leave it. Xi Shi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want meatballs and fried chicken popcorn?"
"Eat," Gu Qingyue said enthusiastically.
"Then I'll make some meatballs that are easy to store and can be eaten at any time. You can each take some popcorn as snacks on the way. I'll cut the remaining meat into cubes and make meat patties. Do you want patties? Do you want some?" Xi Shi asked as he was dividing the remaining meat in his hand.
"Brother Xi, just cook it and we will have everything to eat," Gu Qingyue said, glancing at the time, "It should be in time. Do you need an electric griddle to make pancakes? I'll help you connect it to the power supply."
Xi Shi was busy preparing all kinds of food, while Gu Qingyue was running around for him. Dean didn't quite understand what they were saying, so he sorted out the supplies to be taken away and asked them what they meant from time to time. Lu Weiyi didn't feel comfortable sitting there all the time, so he turned around and figured out the location of the generator. He decided to help them store the things that couldn't be taken away in the space when they left.
When he sees Zhuang Mingxu again and it's safe, he won't have to cover up the space and can take it out later.
Li Zhuang and his group were out for more than three hours, and when they came back only a few people came in. Seeing that the group was not together, the four of them stopped what they were doing and looked over. Xi Shi was the most impatient. With a trembling voice, he asked Xu Sa, who was the most familiar among the group, "Xiao Xu, Da Xiong..."
"It's okay, Brother Xiong is guarding the supplies outside," Xu Sa said hurriedly, "The harvest is good and everyone is fine."
Several people then relaxed.
As soon as Li Zhuang saw the pots and bowls filled with food, he said happily, "The chef's cooking is different." He took a spoon and scooped up a piece of braised pork, "Hmm, it tastes amazing. We won't have to go hungry anymore."
"Let me have a bite, let me have a bite." Xu Sa immediately ran over to taste it, praised him, and put another bite into Liu Rui's mouth, "Brother Xi, you are so awesome, I will follow you from now on."
Xi Shi felt embarrassed when several people praised him, "If you like me, eat more. Are we taking turns to eat?"
"We were planning to leave right away, but it looks like it will take a while," Li Zhuang glanced at the twenty or thirty pancakes in the basin beside him and the two electric griddles that were still working, "Then let's take turns eating and leave after we're full."
"It's so wonderful to have food and drink. Brother Li, can we take the generator here with us when we leave?" Xu Sa asked with a bulging face while snatching food from Li Zhuang.
"It's taken away and we can't use it without oil. I saw the gasoline inside at that time and I estimated that it would not be used many times." Li Zhuang took advantage of Antonio's poor use of chopsticks and snatched several pieces of braised pork. Antonio was so angry that he got up to find a spoon. Then he said cheerfully, "Our oil is still taken from other cars. There is no place in the car to put it. Besides, it may be troublesome for a motorboat to cross the river."
After thinking about the car they were driving, Xu Sa did not insist and instead asked Lu Weiyi, "Lu Xiaoyi, do you know where there is a generator in Qingyuan City? We can find a few to go back with us. Even if there is no electricity in the safe zone, we will have food to eat."
Lu Weiyi thought for a while and said, "I know where the concert halls, theaters and restaurants serving cuisines from all over the world are."
"I shouldn't have asked you." Xu Sa gave him the middle finger and continued his battle to grab food.
