After that, the two of them would sleep and cook in the space.
Considering the victims and perpetrators being investigated at the police station, both men felt that things wouldn't be peaceful for some time to come.
So, in her spare time, Bi Qiaoan began to prepare medicine for her injuries using the medicinal herbs that Shen Yanming had brought back. Meanwhile, Old Shen watched over his wife and assisted her in the process.
It's just that the two babies are still young; otherwise, with all the running around, playing, and crying, they wouldn't be so relaxed.
This time, because she didn't have to worry about her pregnancy and had recovered well after childbirth, Qiao An moved around very easily, which naturally made her movements much faster. In just a few days, she used up all the medicinal herbs Shen Yanming had brought back.
After discussing it, the two decided to call Li Gangtie and ask him to send over another batch.
But as soon as he stepped out of the space, he received a call from Zhang Heping asking him to come over.
Shen Yanming chuckled and said, "Sure, around what time will you arrive?"
"Is that even a question? Of course we'll leave at 10:30 and arrive at your place around 11:00," Zhang Heping said matter-of-factly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home. Just come upstairs when you arrive."
"Aren't you going to come with me to register? I think I put your name on the form last time!"
"No need, just knowing whose guest you are is enough. I'll let the guard on duty know in a bit."
"Alright, then you can stay home and wait for me. Oh, and make sure you prepare the late-night snack I wanted."
"You need to give me some suggestions on what you want to eat."
Zhang Ping paused for a moment, because he didn't know either. So he just shrugged it off, saying, "Eat whatever's available, as long as it's good!"
Shen Yanming didn't want to argue with him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, okay, come over here and we'll talk."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanming checked the time: 8 PM. He did have time to go see Li Gangtie, but with this blazing sun outside, he really didn't feel like going out!
So he called Li Gangtie to explain the situation and asked the guards to prepare the medicine. He said they could deliver it to him the next night or the night after, or he could go and pick it up himself.
Li Gangtie naturally agreed. In a good mood, he hung up the phone and immediately sent the order to the medicine plantation.
Because the guard team had long ago discovered the decline in plant growth, all the harvestable medicinal herbs, whether in the agricultural area's medicinal garden or the laborers' planting base, had been harvested, and those that could not be harvested had been transplanted indoors.
If Shen Yanming hadn't said he had guests and asked them to postpone the delivery for a couple of days, they could have handled it in no time.
But this is good, because it gives them time to reorganize and prevents others from discovering the guard's "secret."
Calling it a secret is really just a matter of no one talking about it. In fact, the guards have never concealed their actions; it's just that whether you've seen it or kept it in mind is another matter.
Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore, it's a bit depressing.
Shen Yanming looked at Qiao An and asked, "Wife, what kind of late-night snack do you want to prepare for him?"
Bi Qiaoan didn't know the answer to this question either. She shook her head, "I feel like that foodie can eat anything."
Shen Yanming was in a dilemma, feeling that the two most terrifying words in the world were "whatever".
Other dishes, even something as simple as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, at least give you a goal to strive for. But with "whatever," you don't know what the goal is, or what level it represents. You might go to great lengths to prepare something, only to find it doesn't meet the other person's expectations.
Seeing his hesitation, Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Anything is fine, meat or vegetables, hot or cold, let him choose for himself when he comes."
"Wouldn't that be too lavish? Even though we haven't deliberately hidden it from him, we can't be too high-profile!"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head. "Why not just replace the items with ordinary, inconspicuous ones?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Pork floss bread, steamed eggs, white fungus and red date soup, and ice jelly with fruit salad. Choose one of the four. Except for the white fungus and red date soup, which takes time, the rest are easy to make."
And even if he doesn't eat it, we can handle it. These dishes sound fancy, but they're actually nothing special.
Shen Yanming thought it made sense, and a charming smile instantly bloomed on his face. He thought to himself, "It's so good to have a wife, but I can't just rush up and kiss her."
Ugh, this damn impetigo!
So the two of them started moving.
The pork floss bread still needed to be proofed, so the two of them skipped the hassle and simply took some ready-made bread from their spatial storage. Since they didn't have to work during this period, they'd made quite a few of these things in their space.
Then I soaked a white fungus, washed a few red dates and a handful of lotus seeds. I put a clay pot in the kitchen, waited for the water to boil, then threw the white fungus and lotus seeds in, stirred it with a spoon, and that was it.
Take out another packet of ice jelly powder, pour boiling water over it to make three bowls, and put them in the kitchen to solidify. As for the toppings, we'll talk about that when Zhang Heping arrives.
All of this sounds complicated, but in practice, it seems quite simple.
They didn't make steamed egg custard, thinking that the other person might not eat it. Even if they did, making it fresh would only take fifteen minutes, it's very simple.
In their spare time, the two took out the medicinal herbs they had grown in their space, processed them simply, and prepared to make a batch of enhanced powder and pills.
In his spare time, Shen Yanming did indeed study those poisons and sedatives, but he hadn't made much progress yet. However, there was no rush; they were quite safe within the guard unit.
Time always flies. The two of them felt they hadn't processed many herbs yet when the doorbell rang.
Shen Yanming was taken aback, then quickly put the herbs and tools on the coffee table into his spatial storage. He then took out a rag and wiped the table before nodding to signal Qiao An to open the door.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and called out, "You're here!" Then she walked to the door and opened it.
Zhang Heping greeted the two with a smile at the door. Only after entering the living room did he take off the headscarf, mask, and gloves.
Shen Yanming was speechless for a moment. He asked, "Brother, it's late at night, is it really necessary to be this exaggerated? It feels like you're being even more careful than when you were in the hospital."
Zhang Heping also felt a little embarrassed. He chuckled and said, "It's because Qiao An's look that day left such a deep impression on me. Now, whenever I go out, I subconsciously want to dress up as that masked thief."
The tools weren't right for me, so I ended up learning something that was neither fish nor fowl.
Bi Qiaoan found it amusing and praised, "I think your look is pretty good. At least the mask can be taken off easily. Unlike a facekini, which takes forever to remove."
But it's so late at night, all that dressing up for nothing."
Zhang Heping nodded, "I've gotten used to it in the hospital. If everyone wasn't just wearing a mask, I'd be tempted to put on a protective suit."
Shen Yanming said, "It's not that exaggerated. This disease is just unsightly, but it doesn't actually hurt or itch, and it's not that uncomfortable."
