Lu Manman replied somewhat awkwardly, "I don't remember the rest, I can't recall them."
Seeing this, Qi Chao seemed to understand something. "Child, wait a moment."
Then he went out like a gust of wind, and came back like a gust of wind, with multiple electronic devices on his body.
Lu Manman asked in confusion, "Grandpa Qi Chao, what is this?"
Qi Chao: "I saw some records here a long time ago. I've seen your method of processing before, but later, due to energy shortages, we used almost all our energy to extract nutrients and identify toxins, and I gradually forgot about it. But seeing yours today reminded me. Do you want to take a look?"
Before Lu Manman could answer, the grandfathers exclaimed in unison, "Look!"
Make it for your child if they want to eat it!
Qi Chao played the video aloud, and everyone stared intently at it. The video was a cooking video recorded by a young man.
The man dealt with the mutated chicken in the same way as Lu Manman.
Qi Chao said, "I only saw these. I didn't know what they did before, but now I think they make mutant chickens."
Everyone continued to look, and saw the man wash the chicken pieces clean, then put them into a pot, added a lot of cold water, and also added ginger and scallions.
Upon seeing the ginger and scallions the man mentioned, Qu Fu, who loves tinkering with plants, exclaimed, "I know this! So that's what it's called! I'll pick some later."
Next, bring it to a boil over high heat. Once it boils, a lot of foam will rise to the surface. Skim it off completely. Then, simmer over medium-low heat for an hour or so. Finally, add some salt and simmer for a few more minutes. A pot of rich and fragrant chicken soup is ready.
Everyone was stunned. "A mutant chicken can actually do that?!"
The door to a new world opened magnificently for them.
Shi Tu rubbed his hands together eagerly. "I know, kid. You wait, I'll make you chicken soup right now." He took the chicken pieces from Lu Manman's hands and washed them again and again, just like in the video.
Qu Fu couldn't wait any longer, "I'll go pick some scallions and ginger right away."
Everyone was busy with the novel food, leaving Lu Manman, the leader, with no role to play.
The road ahead is long: ...
Looking at the grandfathers who were even more excited than her, Lu Manman found it somewhat amusing. It seemed that she wasn't the only one tired of the porridge and roasted meat...
With everyone's concerted efforts, a pot of golden and glistening chicken soup was finally ready, and the aroma in the air overpowered everyone's sense of smell.
Lu Manman and her grandfathers swallowed hard. "It smells so good!"
Soon everyone had a bowl, and they couldn't wait to start eating. The chicken soup was rich but not greasy, and the chicken meat was fresh, tender, and smooth...
One word: Absolutely amazing!
Previously, everyone's diet was very limited, basically consisting of nutritional supplements, porridge, roasted meat, and fruit, and that was it. This was the first time I had chicken soup, and it was so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue.
Everyone shed tears of excitement; they couldn't believe such delicious food existed in the world.
They didn't even have time to talk, each of them downing several bowls of chicken soup, until they had finished every last drop before putting down their chopsticks.
Looking at the bowls and chopsticks that were still licked clean, for the first time, everyone had the idea of licking them dozens or even hundreds more times.
Zhong Lizhong rubbed his stomach. "Oh my god, I'm so full. It was so delicious. I feel like I've wasted my life before."
Feng Zhi let out a burp, "This life has been worthwhile, truly worthwhile."
Gu Lin looked at Qi Chao approvingly, "Well done, Qi Chao, you've brought us a new recipe." Then he looked at Lu Manman, "Child, what do you think?"
Lu Manman nodded, "It's delicious, a real delicacy."
This flavor suits her taste buds perfectly.
Qi Chao was also very happy, "Haha, there are also many cooking videos in here, we'll be in for a treat in the future."
After that, watching cooking videos became a regular part of their daily enjoyment. The more they watched, the more diverse their recipes became, and the more they felt that life was worthwhile.
In addition, with more free time, the grandfathers who were used to being busy couldn't stay idle. Before, they were all busy working in the safe zone, but now that there's nothing to do in the safe zone, everyone turned their attention to outside the safe zone.
Fortunately, due to the long journey, the poisonous gas outside the safe zone dissipated, and the plants became safe and non-toxic.
Even the mutated beasts, under Lu Manman's tyrannical rule, have developed the habit of avoiding humans whenever they see them, so they are basically not dangerous.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the area inside and outside the safe zone is getting better and better, and is becoming more and more like a paradise independent of the world.
A leisurely afternoon.
Eight deck chairs were lined up in a row, and Lu Manman and her grandfathers lay leisurely on them, basking in the warm afternoon sun, looking at the lush greenery around them like a fairyland, and listening to the occasional cries of the mutated beasts. It was so pleasant!
Gu Lin took a deep breath of the sweet air. "Life is so wonderful now. Since the baby came, our lives have been getting better and better."
Chen Hua closed his eyes, letting the sunlight dance on his eyelids. "Of course! I don't want to die at all right now."
Zhong Lizhong took a sip of sweet water and smacked his lips. "Wow! I wonder if people outside live like this every day. It's so awesome. By the way, Feng Zhi's recliner is pretty good."
Because the road ahead is long, Feng Zhi has ample opportunity to develop his carpentry hobby. "Next time I'll make some improvements and strive to do even better."
He already had some ideas in mind.
"These days are so wonderful..." Qi Chao exclaimed, but then suddenly remembered something. "Oh dear! I almost forgot the time. Oh well, I'll just laze around for the day and go get the mecha serviced tomorrow."
They usually maintain their mechs once a year. It's called maintenance, but it's basically just cleaning and applying oil. It's their tradition, and in the blink of an eye, it's time for another annual maintenance day.
Qu Fu: "Yeah, we've all completely forgotten about this. Looks like we're living too comfortably these days."
Lu Manman, who was feeling drowsy, suddenly became interested. "Mecha? What mecha?"
Everyone turned their attention to Lu Manman, who was in the center, and began to explain the facts to her.
Lu Manman's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "I've explored this entire area and want to go further afield, but I lack transportation. This mecha might be a good option, and haven't you always wanted to see the outside world? Perhaps..."
Everyone realized what was happening. Because Lu Manman was so amazing, even more amazing than the legendary mecha, they had never thought of associating Lu Manman with mecha.
They had always considered the mechs as their only hope for survival.
Now that Lu Manman has given everyone such a good life, their desire to go out is not so strong for the time being, and they are not so interested in the mecha.
After all, such good days are truly something to cherish. However, if given the chance, they would still like to go out and see the world; this is a long-held belief accumulated by their ancestors generation after generation.
Thinking of all the surprises Lu Manman has given them, perhaps... they will be able to see the outside world in their lifetime.
Moreover, if Lu Manman had a mecha, she could better protect herself. At least no matter what poisonous plants or mutated beasts there were, they wouldn't be able to harm her.
