Fang Qingdai stared at the pound of beef and pondered for a long time.
Wealthy people tend to have high standards of living. Fang Qingdai in modern times knew how to cook, and preparing delicious food was a kind of enjoyment in her life.
Earlier, she had gone through hundreds of ways to cook beef in her mind and was full of confidence when she was about to start cooking when she finally discovered a terrible problem.
No seasoning...
The only salt and sugar available were of inferior quality, yellowish-black in color and mixed with sand.
Fang Qingdai suddenly understood why the cooking level in the wasteland was so backward; even a skilled cook can't cook without rice!
Thinking of something, Fang Qingdai paused, then hurried to get the side dishes that had been left for Qingdai.
The things that others make and sell definitely have seasonings added to them. Just taste them and you'll know what other seasonings are used in the wasteland besides salt.
The side dishes all looked strange and didn't look very appetizing.
When you taste it, it's either sweet or salty; not to mention the texture, the flavor is also very monotonous.
The last one is a type of roasted leaf.
The leaves were roasted until golden brown and sprinkled with some yellow powder, making them look slightly more appetizing than the other dishes.
Fang Qingdai tried a piece without much hope, and her eyes lit up!
This stuff is spicy and has a slightly numbing flavor!
Although the spiciness was moderate, she definitely tasted the spiciness. The combination of numbing spiciness, saltiness, and sweetness exploded in her mouth. If judged by wasteland standards, this would be considered a top-notch delicacy!
Fang Qingdai was excited and carefully examined the leaves for a long time.
As she looked at it, Fang Qingdai suddenly clapped her hands: "Isn't this the mutated plant I bought back!"
Fang Qingdai saw someone selling mutated plants and asked about them. The person said they were purified edible plants, so out of curiosity, she bought some of each.
Finding the spicy green leaf, Fang Qingdai took it to Jing Yi and asked, "Do you know what kind of plant this is?"
Jing Yi glanced at it and said, "The mutated pepper vine is not aggressive, but it releases a pungent odor that will cause enemies to sneeze and tear up."
Seeing that Fang Qingdai's expression was off, Jing Yi thought she was frightened, so he quickly added, "After death, it will not release its scent on its own."
Fang Qingdai wasn't afraid, just somewhat surprised.
The direction of this plant's mutation is quite unique; in a fantasy setting, it's almost like a plant from Plants vs. Zombies.
Fang Qingdai was delighted to find that the plants were edible and could be used as seasonings. She quickly took out several other mutated plants for Jing Yi to identify.
The original owner's family had basically never bought any mutated plants, and she had never gone on a mission before, so she didn't know much about mutated plants.
Jing Yi is different.
He is a high-level superhuman. To get to where he is today, he must have led his subordinates through countless trials and tribulations. He has extensive experience, so asking him is definitely the right thing to do.
As expected, Jing Yi did not disappoint Fang Qingdai's trust; he could name and describe the characteristics of every mutated plant.
"This is a snot vine. When it's alive, it shoots out sticky mucus that coats enemies. The mucus is corrosive and can corrode the enemy's skin. But after it dies, the corrosiveness is greatly reduced, and it's no longer harmful."
Corrosive? To verify her suspicion, Fang Qingdai dipped her finger in the sap from a cut surface of the plant and put it in her mouth.
It's certain that it's non-toxic if it can be sold.
Jing Yi frowned disapprovingly: "I haven't even said whether it's poisonous or not. You shouldn't be so reckless."
Fang Qingdai licked the sticky liquid, and the sour taste made her grimace.
"Is there even a question? If it can be sold, it must be non-toxic. And although you didn't specifically explain it, you did describe the characteristics of this thing before and after its life, so we can make that judgment!"
Jing Yi looked at Fang Qingdai carefully for a moment.
I thought she was reckless, but it turns out she has a strong sense of judgment, and minor difficulties are no problem for her at all.
She has the courage to try, and with three parts courage, three parts judgment, plus some intelligence and opportunity, she can thrive in any environment.
The girl in front of me has an opportunity; she is a space-age ability user, and her opportunities are greater than those of any other ability user.
Jing Yi's gloom dissipated slightly, and he was once again grateful that he had met Fang Qingdai.
If it weren't for Fang Qingdai, it's unlikely that anyone else could have successfully saved him, and so far, no lingering troubles have arisen.
After asking about several mutated plants, Fang Qingdai noticed Jing Yi looking at her with a complicated expression, and she frowned as well.
"Do you... have the strength to move?"
Jing Yi was taken aback for a moment, but then quickly assessed his body and nodded: "You're recovering quite well, you have some strength back. Is there anything I can do for you?"
As he spoke, he braced himself against the bed frame and struggled to sit up.
Fang Qingdai watched as his arms trembled like butterfly wings, and the simple act of getting up caused him to sweat profusely from the pain. Yet, he still tried his best to help her, which made her even more satisfied with him!
She's a sensible person!
Fang Qingdai ignored his forced composure and simply turned to bring over a small basin of mixed water and a tattered cloth.
"If you can move, clean it yourself, and then apply some medicine after you're done!"
He put the Yunnan Baiyao on his bed and turned to prepare the ingredients.
Applying the medicine to him at first was a last resort.
Now that she can move around on her own, Fang Qingdai is too lazy to make things difficult for herself and do anything that would embarrass her.
and……
Jing Yi smelled really bad; the stench of his infected and rotting wounds was quite unpleasant!
Fang Qingdai ignored it, but Qingluan couldn't bear to see Jingyi struggling to apply the medicine, so she took the initiative to ask, "Brother, do you need my help?"
Looking into the little girl's clear and bright eyes, Jing Yi's heart melted.
"Thank you, you are a kind child."
Qingluan nodded with a smile, took the rag, and helped Jingyi wipe the areas on his back that he couldn't reach on his own.
But in reality, Qingluan was thinking, "I hope this person's injuries heal quickly so they can leave!"
After all, staying at home for one more day means consuming one more day's worth of my sister's points and food!
With him around, my sister doesn't even bother bringing out those super delicious things to eat!
Fang Qingdai was unaware of the situation with the two children. She had already quickly cut the meat and prepared several useful mutated plants.
She plans to make a cold beef salad, a stir-fried beef dish, and a grilled beef skewer.
I only bought one pound of meat, so I can only make a small portion of each dish to taste.
But Fang Qingdai's original intention was to try different ways of preparing mutated plants and animals to improve their flavor, so she naturally didn't mind the trouble.
As she began cooking, the rich aroma of meat fat mixed with the spicy and savory flavors of the seasonings wafted through the air. Not only did the two people, one big and one small, each with their own thoughts, pause in their actions, but a group of people also quietly gathered outside Fang Qingdai's shack.
Fang Qingdai had just finished cooking when she sensed something was wrong outside.
She was startled and quickly grabbed the knife and brought it to the crack in the door.
