When Xu Milu came out of the room, she heard the sound of the door lock turning. The next second, Xu Minian came in from outside the door with his schoolbag on his back.
"Hey sis? You logged off the game? I left you some steamed buns and pickled vegetables when I left this morning, didn't you eat them?"
Xu Minian immediately noticed the breakfast left on the table and couldn't help but complain:
“You can’t skip meals just because you’re playing games. Look at you, you didn’t eat lunch either, did you? You’ve been playing so much that you’re not even eating. Before Mom went on her trip, she told me to make sure you eat properly, but you don’t listen to her. No matter how fun a game is, it can’t replace food. Eating in a game doesn’t fill you up.”
Xu Minian has started to grow taller during this period. His originally chubby figure has become somewhat upright, and he can scold his older sister with a firm and orderly manner.
"I've already eaten, don't worry. How could a cook like me starve to death?"
Xu Milu stretched out a big yawn:
"Li Ning just called me and said that Grandpa is going to Master's house for dinner tonight. I guess the two old men will have a showdown until tonight. It's just the two of us eating at home tonight. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
She's been dealing with the food-related matters in the food dimension and the new seeds lately, so the rice food shop has only opened a handful of times. The customers in the group chat have become quite indifferent, and some have even asked if they can buy ingredients from her. Xu Milu thinks this is a good idea and plans to take some time to handle it in a couple of days.
"Really!! Then I want to eat spicy kimchi and pork belly. I saw a food streamer eating barbecue on live stream the other day, and it made me so hungry."
Xu Minian was quite excited. While diligently clearing the dishes from the table, he chatted with Xu Milu about the interesting things that happened at school that day:
"Sis, let me tell you, we visited the Honghe Creative Park before, right? I saw on the news today that the same flying machines as those from Honghe Creative Park are already being sold on the market, but even the lowest-spec one costs over 500,000 yuan! And you need to take a flight test, and I think there are some regulations prohibiting flying them in urban areas. Oh dear, I didn't look into it carefully—"
"Is the country's R&D speed this fast?"
Xu Milu was somewhat surprised, but thinking about it, this thing was actually not difficult. China has a wealth of talented people, so what problems could arise with physical research?
Moreover, as far as she knew, the government had already begun mass production of holographic helmets for use in military exercises. It was expected that once the military phased out the next batch of holographic helmets, holographic games would spring up like mushrooms after rain.
"Yeah, my classmates are all saying that our country's R&D speed is like it's on a cheat code, and many foreigners are envious of our country!"
Xu Minian washed a plate of kumquats, picked one up, and held it to her lips, saying ingratiatingly:
"Sis, if I do well on my college entrance exam, could you buy me a flying machine? I've looked it up, and you can get a pilot's license once you're sixteen or older. I'll learn to drive during the summer after my exam and get my pilot's license then too—"
"You're being so attentive; this has been planned for a long time."
Xu Milu took a bite of the kumquat, and the sweet and sour juice burst in her mouth:
“Okay, as long as your score is high enough for a first-tier university, I’ll try to get you a flying machine like the one in Honghe Creative Park. Then Mom, Grandpa, and I will take you to school.”
Xu Minian has always been very sensible. He always quietly takes care of the housework. When his family was still poor, he would often get up at four or five in the morning to help Liu Hongmei pack things. He has never felt inferior because of his family's situation. Besides, getting a flying machine is not a difficult thing for her.
"Really? Long live my sis!!"
Xu Minian's face turned red with excitement. He was only a teenager and had no resistance to anything cool. A high-tech flying machine could obviously fulfill all his fantasies.
"But I have conditions. I found a house I liked a few days ago, and you have to come with me to see it in a couple of days. Also, you have to speak up for me when Mom comes back, so she won't say I'm wasting money."
Xu Milu coughed and said.
"Sis, are you buying a house?"
Xu Minian was taken aback at first:
“We definitely need to buy a house, but there’s no rush. We currently have a house and a yard. Mom said the yard is in a remote location and the transportation isn’t convenient. The house is convenient in terms of transportation, but it’s a bit small. She’s planning to save up some more money to buy you a bigger house in Sichuan or Chongqing.”
Is Liu Hongmei planning to buy her a house?
Xu Milu wasn't aware of this, but she didn't think about it too much. She rolled up her sleeves, took out a head of kimchi and a piece of pork belly from the refrigerator, and planned to make dinner.
...
...
Liu Hongmei usually makes her own kimchi at home because she always feels that the kimchi sold outside is either too sweet or too spicy. Since her family likes to eat it, she simply pickles some and keeps it in the refrigerator so she can take it out whenever she wants.
Making kimchi is simple. After washing the cabbage, cut it in half. If you want it to be easier to eat, you can cut it in half again.
Place the chopped cabbage in a large bowl, add salt water and soak for an hour. After the cabbage is pickled, hang it up to drain. Peel and chop the apple, pear, and fresh onion into small pieces, put them in a juicer and blend them into a puree. Chop the raw chives into sections, shred the white radish, and slice the garlic. Then add chili powder and salt to the puree, add all the above ingredients and mix well. If you want to enhance the flavor, you can also add fresh shrimp paste or fish sauce for seasoning.
Separate the drained cabbage leaves one by one, and spread the prepared sauce evenly on the leaves. The prepared kimchi can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated, or eaten directly, but Xu Milu prefers to stir-fry it with pork belly.
