Chapter 134 Meow Meow
Although everyone still has a doubt.
If this young man is really a big shot, why would he set up a stall in such a remote place like District F? Could it be that the boss can’t afford to pay the protection fee?
But soon, everyone dispelled the doubts in their hearts.
——As a big boss, your thinking process is different from that of ordinary people, which is normal! Maybe the boss’s hobby is to set up a stall in remote places?
Moreover, is there anything more telling than Yi Cunqing's attitude?
After realizing this, the entire 11th team looked at Jian Yunlan with awe in their eyes.
"Sorry, sorry, we didn't recognize the real talent!"
"Yeah big guy... No, boss."
"Give me a bowl of porridge, too." "Yes, yes, I want one too." "I'll buy two bowls!"
Young people are still skeptical and reserved about this porridge. After all, no matter how delicious the porridge is, it will not be quite the same without flavor enhancers.
But Master Qing is praising them so much, and as the younger generation, they cannot be ignorant of this principle. Even if you don't consider the boss's face, you have to consider Yi Cun Qing's face.
It's the ways of the world.
Besides, three credit points are not expensive.
Unlike the low-level mercenary Wang Peng, those here are the most elite members of the 11th team. When Mu Dongsheng was still there, they all followed Mu Dongsheng on missions. The lowest was a B-level mercenary, and everyone had at least a few hundred credit points in their accounts.
Three credit points for a bowl of porridge is nothing to them. It doesn’t matter whether there is porridge or not. What’s important is that Qing Ye has tried so hard to curry favor with him, and they cannot embarrass Qing Ye. They must work hard to build a good relationship with this hidden boss!
Then, the mercenaries rushed to hand over their ID cards and wanted to use them to buy porridge.
Jian Yunlan: “?”
Although everyone's attitude changed a little strangely.
But... there are diners coming!
Jian Yunlan was cheered up and greeted enthusiastically:
"Wait a moment, everyone come one by one and line up. Don't worry, everyone will get a share."
Yi Cun Qing just had a taste and was not fully satisfied. He can drink ten bowls of this delicious century egg and lean meat porridge by himself.
Yicunqing, leaning on a crutch, immediately joined the queue. The other young mercenaries followed closely behind, one after another.
So, a line formed in front of the small "Simple Porridge Shop".
…The only one who didn’t join the queue was the one with a buzz cut.
He turned his head away and thought, he would never drink the porridge from District F! If he drank it, wouldn't it mean that he had surrendered to Li Zhou and his gang? Besides, he didn't want porridge without any flavor enhancers.
But except for the guy with the buzz cut, all the other team members lined up, there were six or seven people in total.
The other vendors watched on, eyes full of envy.
——This is District F. They can only sell three or four portions in a whole day at the stall, and can barely make ends meet.
I have never heard of any queues at the food stalls in Area F over the years!
On the first day this young man came, there were already customers lining up. This was really beyond everyone's understanding.
Everyone looked at the porridge shop with envy.
"Here are three bowls of porridge for you." Jian Yunlan put three bowls of porridge on a tray and handed them to Yi Cunqing, "Be careful, it's hot."
[Task progress: 4/500]
The chef system in my mind was updated immediately.
Yicunqing carefully carried the tray, sat down beside him, picked up a bowl of porridge, blew it gently to cool it down, and drank it happily. After taking a mouthful of porridge, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, feeling a little overwhelmed with satisfaction:
"It's really delicious, preserved egg and lean meat porridge..."
After Yi Cun Qing, it was the turn of the girl with blue hair.
The blue-haired girl's name is Murong Miao. She is already an A-level mercenary at a young age and is one of Yi Cunqing's apprentices. She has a somewhat arrogant temper, but she listens to Yi Cun Qing very much.
Therefore, although she was not interested in the porridge itself, she still followed her master and lined up.
"Boss, I want a bowl of porridge." Murong Miao said reservedly.
The porridge is already cooked, you just need to serve it.
Therefore, the team advanced quickly.
Not long after, Murong Miao and several friends of the same age came together, each holding a bowl of porridge in their hands. They gathered together, heads close together, and examined the porridge in their hands.
Unlike Yi Cun Qing, they all bought only one bowl because they didn’t have high expectations for the taste of the porridge.
Murong Miao and his friends looked down at the bowls of porridge in their hands.
——The hot porridge just served from the casserole was still bubbling and steaming. The porridge has just the right consistency, not too sticky, not too watery. The white rice grains are soft and blooming like flowers, and there is a layer of rich porridge oil on the surface of the porridge, which is very smooth.
The dark green preserved eggs and light pink lean meat particles are mixed in the porridge, along with refreshing chopped green onions and the aroma of rice.
"Gulu, gurgle."
Several people swallowed subconsciously and felt the gluttony in their stomachs stirring.
But... strange.
"This porridge looks really strange, it's completely different from the porridge we had before," Murong Miao muttered, "but why does it smell so good?"
The guy with a crew cut next to him didn't queue up and was the only one who didn't get any porridge.
Although he said with disdain, his eyes involuntarily lingered on the porridge in everyone's hands for a while, and then looked away pretending to be indifferent.
He doesn't want that crappy porridge!
The man with the crew cut pulled out a wine bag from his pocket, took a few gulps, and thought nonchalantly - having the wine was enough for him.
The mercenaries who got the porridge sat together and discussed:
"I thought porridge had to be red, yellow or green. White means there's no flavor enhancer, right?"
"I heard from my mother that before the end of the world, people drank white porridge, which was light and good for the stomach..."
"Gululu!"
Someone's stomach growled loudly.
"Hahahaha, third brother, you are such a loser. A bowl of plain porridge without flavor enhancer makes your stomach growl like this! How hungry are you--" Murong Miao pointed at the mercenary whose stomach growled and laughed.
But not long after she started laughing, her stomach started to growl loudly:
“Gululu!!!”
Murong Miao: “…” It cracked.
Everyone: “…………”
The young mercenaries looked at each other.
Looking at the steaming porridge, confusion appeared on their faces. They looked at each other, and everyone's stomach growled like a symphony, one after another, louder than the other.
There was embarrassment on everyone's face.
I'm hungry.
But no one was embarrassed enough to be the first person to drink the porridge.
They are all young people in their early twenties, each with outstanding abilities and correspondingly stubborn tempers. Like children, none of them is willing to admit defeat.
Finally, someone suggested quietly, "How about... let's just have a taste? It's not good to waste food, and aren't you curious about what this porridge tastes like?"
"I'm a little curious." "Yeah, yeah." "It's okay to have a taste."
"Then let's taste it together, three, two, one——"
Several people scooped up a spoonful of porridge together, and after counting down three times, they couldn't wait to put the spoon into their mouths.
“……!!!!”
After taking a spoonful of porridge, the mercenaries looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
The taste of this century egg and lean meat porridge is amazing!
Unlike all the technological porridge they had drunk in the past that was filled with flavor enhancers, the porridge in front of them did not have that strong industrial taste. Instead, it had the taste of the ingredients themselves.
…The rice grains were cooked until they were smooth, tender and fragrant, and they melted as soon as they entered the mouth. Although there is no meat in that spoonful of porridge, you can taste the salty and fresh flavor of preserved eggs and lean meat, because the essence of the ingredients has all been boiled into the porridge oil, giving it a rich aroma.
You can also bite the shredded meat in the porridge, which is very tender. It opens easily with just a light bite, and the delicious taste, along with the hot porridge, gives people the ultimate satisfaction.
The popular "tech porridge" on the market also contains meat, and large chunks of meat, in order to give people taste satisfaction. The meat in the porridge in front of me is very small and mixed in the porridge...
Before drinking it, many people thought that the boss must be cutting corners and was reluctant to spend money, so he put such small pieces of meat.
But after taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, they immediately realized something was wrong.
Although the shredded pork in this century egg and lean meat congee is small in size, its deliciousness cannot be matched by the technological congee! The meat in the technology porridge is big, but it is tasteless when chewed, it just feels like eating meat.
But in the century egg and lean meat porridge in front of me, the tender, salty and fragrant shredded pork is mixed in the hot porridge. It does not steal the show, but the aroma of the meat is everywhere. When it goes down with the soft and smooth porridge rice, the aroma of the meat, the century egg, and the rice and paddy grains blend perfectly, and the shredded pork also serves as the finishing touch.
“It’s so delicious!”
"How can it be so fragrant even though there is no flavor enhancer added? And it has that kind of comfortable porridge aroma, which feels warm and natural."
"This meat is so delicious. Even though it's small, it's really delicious. The flavor completely brings out the aroma of the porridge..."
There was no time to say anything more; the mercenaries began to scoop the porridge faster and faster, one spoonful after another.
Some people didn't care about the heat and just picked up the bowl of porridge and started drinking it in big gulps.
The hot porridge, with its warm temperature, most of the bowl of porridge flows into the stomach, and the temperature also flows into every part of the body, and a warm breath emanates from every pore.
On such a dangerous and freezing winter night, I was able to sit in a small but warm porridge shop, surrounded by lights, and drink a bowl of hot porridge with my friends.
This brought great psychological satisfaction to the mercenaries.
This kind of trivial but solid and warm little happiness is exactly what people cherish and need most in the end times.
Many mercenaries drank the porridge with tears in their eyes:
"It tastes so good, so happy." "Yes, just for this bowl of porridge, I will work hard to complete the task tomorrow, kill all the pollutants, survive, and come back to drink this hot porridge again..." "Me too."
"It would be great if Captain Mu could also drink this porridge. He would probably like it very much."
Someone muttered quietly.
The mercenaries lowered their heads.
For a moment, many people couldn't stop the sobs in their throats.
Team Mu.
The strong and gentle one, the one who sacrificed himself to protect the Eastern Base and slept forever in the cold desert.
If only he could taste a bowl of hot preserved egg and lean meat porridge in that endless biting winter...
