Chapter 276 Sweet
Because there was no electricity, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan still climbed the stairs back to the 16th floor.
The two of them collapsed on the sofa as soon as they entered the door. Because they got off work according to the new working hours today, it was not yet four o'clock when they got home.
It was starting to get dark, but it wasn't completely dark yet.
Shen Yanming turned on the desk lamp and went into the kitchen to start preparing today's dinner and tomorrow's lunch.
The content of today's Qinghe Alliance press conference made him feel a little uneasy, so Shen Yanming decided to prepare some food with little odor and easy to take and store it in the space every day in case of emergency.
Bi Qiaoan was sitting on the sofa, bored and dazed. She wanted to go to the kitchen to help but was kicked out.
Looking at Shen Yanming's busy back, Bi Qiaoan sighed. Since he had nothing to do, he would take out his tablet and watch a movie.
As the sky grew darker, Bi Qiaoan turned on the desk lamp on the coffee table and fell into deep thought under the dim light.
This is a movie that was made a few years ago. It tells the story of how humans discovered one day that the planet they lived on had undergone a strange change, with the climate deteriorating drastically and food being in serious shortage, making it difficult for humans to survive. As a result, everyone abandoned the surface and moved to the center of the earth, while at the same time, they began to look for habitable planets in other galaxies.
When Bi Qiaoan saw this movie a few years ago, he just thought that the screenwriter was really bold. But when he revisited it now, Bi Qiaoan just felt that this was really like a prophecy. He didn't know whether the Qinghe Alliance was looking for habitable planets in outer galaxies like in the movie.
Bi Qiaoan hoped that they had already taken action, but reason told her that this was impossible because current science and technology were not yet capable of interstellar travel.
The world is in chaos just facing the HZ virus, let alone interstellar travel.
However, it is hard to say, after all, they are not in the same field. No matter what, Bi Qiaoan hopes that the Qinghe Alliance can lead everyone to fight their way out in the doomsday in the future.
After more than two hours of movie playing, Bi Qiaoan smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen and felt a little hungry.
She got up and walked into the kitchen, and saw Chen Yanming putting the osmanthus cake and egg yolk pastry he had just made into the space.
"You made delicious food, why didn't you call me?" Bi Qiaoan snorted with some dissatisfaction.
Chen Yanming smiled and pinched Bi Qiaoan's face, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Bi Qiaoan's mouth, saying, "I went to call you, but I don't know if you were too engrossed in the movie or thinking about something. In short, you were in a trance. I called you twice but you didn't respond, so I thought I would give you the food after you came back to your senses."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, chewing the sweet and soft pastry, feeling that Shen Yanming's cooking skills had improved again, and smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "It's delicious, you are really getting better and better!"
After hearing this, Shen Yanming shook his head and said, "I want to make some cakes with less flavor. The sweet taste of these two cakes is still a bit strong. Can you help me think of something that is delicious and has no taste?"
"It will taste sweet only if it tastes good. If it doesn't taste sweet, it probably won't taste good." Bi Qiaoan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you make some mooncakes, glutinous rice balls, mung bean cakes, etc. The taste won't be so good if they cool down."
"Well, I'll try all kinds of them later and see which one has the smallest taste, and then make more." Shen Yanming said, then looked at Bi Qiaoan, "Are you hungry?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "It's getting late, it's almost half past six, the call should be coming, right?"
“Well, the power supply is from 6:30 to 9:30. Originally, it was supposed to be from 5:00 to 8:00, but this doesn’t quite fit everyone’s schedule, so it was changed to 6:30 to 9:30.
In this way, before the power comes back, everyone can take a walk or chat outside, and after the power comes back, they can go home to cook and eat. When the power goes out again, it will be time to go to bed. "
Shen Yanming walked out of the kitchen, turned on the lights in the dining room, then took out today's dinner from the space and placed it on the table. Bi Qiaoan felt his appetite growl at the first sight.
Bi Qiaoan picked up the chopsticks, sat down and ate while saying, "Going out for a walk also depends on the conditions. Street lights like those in Haishi are powered by solar panels, which is fine. If they are powered by lines, you'd better not run around before the power comes back on. If something bad happens in the dark, it will be too late to regret it.
Oh, this boiled fish is spicy and numbing, and it’s really delicious. The dry pot tofu and cabbage and fish-flavored shredded pork are also delicious.”
Only after two bowls of rice were eaten did Bi Qiaoan say a little embarrassedly: "Today's meal is so delicious, so I ate a little more."
"Well, I know, you are pregnant with a little greedy cat, so you eat so much." Shen Yanming chuckled.
"Yes, that's right, I'm just a little greedy, but I like it." Bi Qiaoan touched his belly with a smile, "I'm so full!"
"Why don't you stand up and move around, or maybe we can go downstairs and take a walk?" Shen Yanming suggested.
Bi Qiaoan walked to the balcony and looked down. There were still a lot of people moving around in the community, so she nodded and accepted Shen Yanming's suggestion.
The two put on down jackets, hats and scarves before going downstairs. They walked around the community twice and returned home only after their stomachs were no longer so bloated.
Chen Yanming turned on the TV and air conditioner and let Bi Qiaoan play by herself while he went to the kitchen to study the delicious food.
After struggling for a long time, Shen Yanming was about to despair. No matter what snacks he made, they tasted very sweet.
Shen Yanming couldn't help but wonder, is his cooking skill really that good?
Bi Qiaoan was tempted by the fragrance and ran into the kitchen again. Looking at Shen Yanming's sad face, she said, "Why don't you use the ingredients grown in the space, and don't put spiritual spring water in the raw materials. Just use the most ordinary flour, eggs, sugar, and oil to try?"
Shen Yanming nodded, then glanced at the time and said, "It's too late, let's do it tomorrow!"
As he said that, he put all the pastries into the space.
“Hey, don’t…” Bi Qiaoan didn’t have time to stop them, and saw them disappear before his eyes. Then he looked at Shen Yanming accusingly, with a thin layer of mist in his big eyes.
"Be good, it's time to go to bed. Eating these will cause indigestion. Eat them tomorrow."
Although Bi Qiaoan's mouth was still drooling, she knew that Shen Yanming was right.
So, reluctantly, she followed Shen Yanming out of the kitchen, into the bedroom, washed up in the bathroom, and then lay down on the bed to sleep.
Shen Yanming was afraid that the light bulb would burn out during a power outage, so he had turned off the bedroom light in advance.
But he couldn't fall asleep even when he hugged Bi Qiaoan. In the darkness, Shen Yanming felt that his senses were infinitely magnified, especially his sense of touch and smell.
The fair and smooth skin, as well as the fresh and elegant scent of jasmine, made a certain part of Shen Yanming eager to move.
