Chapter 45 Rules
Mo Fei was dumbfounded when he saw the various ingredients in front of him: "Why don't you make them yourself?"
The ingredients these people provided were enough for several meals if they cooked them themselves, but they all gave them to her as "food expenses."
She really couldn't understand what they were thinking.
Zeng Gaoming sighed, "Before you came, Ding Hao only gave us some biscuits, but the more we ate, the thirstier we became. This was the only treatment I received as his bodyguard. As for the others, it was lucky to have a full meal once every three days, and we had to look for grass roots and tree bark to eat under the sun. He didn't even treat us as human beings."
Many of the more than 200 survivors starved to death.
He then said, "Sister Mo, you are different. The fish soup you prepared for all of us was simply delicious. He was not related to us, and he didn't ask us to repay him. Now that Ding Hao is dead, we have divided the supplies among ourselves. We have surplus food, and we don't have to hand in the food we found. We discussed it together and decided that it would be a waste of food if we cooked by ourselves. We would like to ask you to cook once a week. During this week, we will also go out to find supplies and pay for your food expenses."
As he spoke, Zeng Gaoming swallowed his saliva.
It is easy for people to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to
Everyone was used to hard times and lived one day at a time. But after eating the fish made by Mo Fei, they found it hard to swallow anything else.
Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. Cooking was her hobby, and it was also her capital to make a living in that world. But she was not a cafeteria auntie, so how could she take care of the meals for so many people every day?
But once a week is fine.
Mo Fei did not agree immediately. She looked at her parents and wanted to ask for their opinions.
Song Yi and Mo Zhicheng were kind people. After thinking for a while, they said, "We will listen to you."
As long as their daughter doesn't feel burdened, they will naturally have no objection.
Besides, these people don’t eat and drink for free.
Mo Fei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.
When they saw Mo Fei agreed, they all cheered and drooled as they touched their stomachs.
"Grandma, why are they so happy?" Mo Jiayue asked while hiding behind Song Yi under the eaves.
"They all want to eat the food your mother cooks." Mo Zhicheng answered from the side.
Mo Jianian is Mo Fei's number one fan: "They are not at a loss. The food my mother cooks is delicious."
"But let me make this clear. You have to eat whatever I cook. No orders."
Amid the noise, Mo Fei raised his voice.
"Okay!" A chorus of agreeing voices.
There is a gleam in everyone's eyes, which is a glimmer of hope for future life.
Just kidding, with Mo Fei's cooking skills, they might have to spend thousands of dollars to eat it before the natural disaster.
Now we can have a full meal just by providing some basic supplies, which is really cost-effective.
The purpose of living in this world is just to have something to eat!
Mo Fei counted the number of people and didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to eat.
There are five people in her family, four of them from Lin Jiyuan's side, and now there are more than twenty survivors in the town.
There are almost forty people.
Those who didn't know would think she was having a wedding party. This kind of excitement was comparable to that before the natural disaster.
Just as Mo Fei was about to enter the kitchen, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the space.
——The space law function test has been completed and will be launched soon.
Mo Fei paused, looking confused.
The voice in the space continued:
"The space law function is a beta function. After turning on this function, the defense mode will be turned on within a range of 20 square meters with the space owner's body as the origin. In the defense mode, if any creature harms the space owner or violates the peace order, the space will immediately counterattack. After meeting the established conditions, the defense mode range will be further expanded, with a maximum limit of 2,000 square meters."
Mo Fei raised his eyebrows, feeling a little excited. The pot and space were her biggest golden fingers, and concentrating on listening was not a serious ability, so she had basically no self-protection ability before, but with this protection mode of the space law, wouldn't she be able to sleep on the street???
I just don't understand what the upgrade conditions of this space law are. If the defense mode range can reach 2,000 square meters, then she can really walk sideways in the natural disaster world. All mutant creatures, zombies and even superpowers can't cause harm to her.
But what are the conditions for upgrading? It would be good if we can have a protection range of 20 square meters now.
"Are you sure you want to activate the laws of space?" a voice came from the space.
"Sure."
Mo Fei was so happy that she almost cried out loud, but she remained calm on the surface, rolled up her sleeves calmly and went into the kitchen.
The people waiting for dinner outside were not idle either. They happily helped Mo Fei and Lin Jiyuan's family clean the yard, and even swept the dilapidated cement road outside.
At first glance, there was not even a fallen leaf.
A group of them were making a lot of noise here, and Mo Fei got annoyed, so he waved a spatula and chased them all away.
Ask them to pick up some dry branches nearby to use as firewood.
Whoever collects the most firewood can have an extra bowl of rice.
As soon as these words were spoken, the survivors ran out one by one as if they were running a 100-meter race, fearing that they would fall behind others.
Mo Fei doesn't allow anyone to watch him cook, but he can have someone help him prepare the food.
Lin Jiyuan called Lin Jiye and a few others over to help Mo Fei.
"Peng Yuan, peel the potatoes in this basket. Remember to pick out the sprouted ones and throw them into this basket."
Murphy brought over a large basket of potatoes with mud on them.
These potatoes were found in a deep cellar in the town. The cellar was not ventilated and the temperature was low, which allowed these potatoes to be preserved until now.
"Lin Jiye, do you know how to crush garlic?" Mo Fei caught one as many as he could.
"Of course I will." Lin Jiye sat obediently on the small stool.
Lan Chengyin was assigned the task of chopping chili peppers. There was no special skill required, just chop the peppers into small pieces.
Mo Fei assigned tasks to the three young men, but not to his own family. Why would he errand the old and weak in his family when there are others to do the work?
Song Yi felt a little embarrassed: "Fei Fei, what can your dad and I do to help you? You can't always order others to do things for you."
"Mom, you and my dad should go to the house and have a rest. I'll call you when the time is right. If you are really bored, go and help Jiayue memorize new words, or watch her practice calligraphy. Her handwriting is so messy that it's really unbearable to watch."
Mo Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Survival is a problem now, why does she need to learn these?"
Song Yi had wanted to ask this question a long time ago.
"Mom. If we were running around and hiding now, with no food to eat, I would definitely not force her to study. Now we have the conditions, and we can't let Jiayue be illiterate. And I think one day, we will be able to get through this kind of life. If not in three to five years, then in ten, twenty or thirty years. People's vitality is very tenacious. Sooner or later, we will return to the stable life in the past." Mo Fei expressed his thoughts.
China has a population of 1.4 billion, and there are countless outstanding and talented people.
Little people like them can still survive natural disasters, and she believes that the country will definitely find a way to help everyone get through the disaster.
Song Yi thought about it and smiled with relief: "You still think far ahead."
She was about to go back to the house, but found that Mo Fei waved his hand and took out a bunch of ice cubes and mangoes.
"Why did you take out the ice and mango as well?" Song Yi asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid that they will suspect that you have space?"
Mo Fei told them that the space should not be known to others casually, and Song Yi always kept it in mind.
"Mom, I won't be afraid anymore. Anyone who dares to covet my space will be courting death," said Mo Fei.
Song Yi looked at her daughter as if she were a fool.
If she believed what Lin Jiyuan said, even though Mo Fei could do a few moves with his bare hands, there were many people with special abilities in the town now, so wouldn't it be insane to say such a thing?
Seeing that her mother didn't believe her, Mo Fei went straight out of the kitchen and walked to a ditch dug at the back door.
"What are you looking for?" Song Yi followed out.
"Do you need help?" Mo Jianian saw this from inside the house and followed out curiously.
"Found it!" Mo Fei pinched his fingers and picked up a fat aphid.
They had killed the insects once before, but aphids are creatures with such strong reproductive capacity that they simply continued to reproduce endlessly.
As expected, Mo Fei found one among the grass stubble on the ground.
At this point, Song Yi and Mo Jianian still didn't understand what Mo Fei wanted to do.
Until Mo Fei opened her palm and let the aphid as big as a fingernail crawl on her hand.
The warmth of Murphy's palm excited the aphid, and it raised its piercing-sucking mouthparts and pierced Murphy's skin.
Before it could bite, with three pairs of eyes staring at it, the aphid was bounced away by a mysterious force and disappeared without a trace.
Mo Jianian rubbed his eyes: "Mom, did you do it just now?"
"No. You were all watching, so I just spread my palm flat and let it prick me."
Mo Fei had a somewhat smug smile on her face, and she was not shy about showing off her new life-saving skills to her family.
After hearing about Mo Fei's magical ability, his family still didn't quite believe it.
For the purpose of experimentation, Song Yi gave Mo Fei a push.
Song Yi pushed too fast and Mo Fei had no time to react.
Her heart was in her throat, fearing that her mother would be flung away.
As a result, Song Yi stood there motionless: "Hey, what's going on? I'm still fine."
"You scared me to death. How can you experiment on your own family?" Mo Fei said unhappily.
But she also found it magical, and guessed that perhaps the laws of space were more intelligent and could determine what was a joke and what was real harm, or that they could detect that Song Yi was her blood relative.
After staying in the backyard for a while, Mo Fei hurried back to the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
There were less than forty people eating, but Mo Fei prepared enough portions for forty people.
The dinner menu she had originally planned included cold dishes (including shredded kelp, bean curd sheets, fried sweet potato chips, pickled radish, tofu skin and other side dishes), pickled beans fried rice, preserved eggs with pounded peppers, stir-fried beef tripe with pickled radish, and stir-fried cured pork face.
After adding so many people, Mo Fei made more cold potato shreds, stir-fried mantis meat, deep-fried cicadas, braised rice with Chinese sausage, and stir-fried cabbage.
Two desserts were added: watermelon smoothie and mango smoothie. The watermelon smoothie was made by blending five large watermelons from the cellar with ice cubes, while the mango smoothie was made from the stock in Mo Fei's space.
In the past, she was concerned about others knowing the existence of her space and rarely took things out of it.
Now that she has the ability to protect herself, things are completely different.
While Lin Jiyuan was generating electricity for Mo Fei's wall-breaking machine, he asked, "Is this what you called me to do?"
Mo Fei shook his head: "More than that. Try this stir-fried mantis meat to see if it's poisonous."
"?" A crack appeared on Lin Jiyuan's always calm expression.
The sun has set, and as the temperature has dropped, a faint breeze has blew.
Mo Fei served out the food for his family and left it in the kitchen, then had two large round tables and some small stools set up in the yard.
Each dish and rice on the big round table was served in a pot. Each person was given a bowl and Mo Fei was responsible for serving the rice and dishes.
Mo Fei shook the spoon in her hand and shouted "Hurry up, next one", while sighing that she never thought she would really become a cafeteria aunt one day.
Those who didn’t get a stool to sit on didn’t mind. They stood there holding their bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
The rice in the Chinese sausage stewed rice is crystal clear and the sausage is oily.
The beef, bean sprouts and leeks in the dry fried beef noodles are perfectly matched.
As for the stir-fried mantis meat, it was cut into cubes. No one could tell what kind of meat it was and they all exclaimed that it was delicious.
The only thing was that the fried cicadas looked a little creepy, so they were hesitant to pick up their chopsticks. But after seeing that Laizi had filled two large bowls and still felt it was not enough, they realized their mistake!
It's full of collagen, a real delicacy from the mountains and the sea! Eat!
What’s even better is that after eating and drinking, you can have a bowl of watermelon and mango smoothie.
Watermelon! Mango! Smoothie! Which one is not a rare thing nowadays? They would cry if they could eat a bite. Now they got a whole bowl!
After taking a sip of the smoothie, the whole day's fatigue, toil and heat seemed to be relieved, and I felt as happy as if I had returned to the old days.
What kind of god is Mo Fei!
The evening breeze blew gently, and the sky was filled with patches of fiery clouds.
Laughter and conversation could be heard everywhere in the small courtyard.
The days seemed to be going on as usual.
After finishing the meal, everyone would consciously pile the used disposable dishes and chopsticks into a sack, which would then be thrown into one place and burned together, so as not to add any burden to Mo Fei in cleaning up the garbage.
This thoughtful gesture made Mo Fei give them a thumbs up in his heart.
After packing up, everyone didn't rush to leave. Instead, they sat together in Mo Fei's yard to enjoy the cool air and talked about their plan to set out to the nearby Yanxi Village to look for supplies tomorrow.
