Chapter 86: Let’s grow some vegetables ourselves?
When Nan Ci met Li Chuang's eyes, he was not particularly surprised.
When Scar Man and his men arrived, they made quite a commotion.
Living on the same floor, it was impossible for Li Chuang not to have heard the noise. It was normal for him to want to see what was going on out of curiosity.
Nan Ci was very calm, but Li Chuang was obviously not the case.
Li Chuang was startled and his face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to close the door.
But halfway through the process, Li Chuang suddenly thought of something and stopped what he was doing, forcing a stiff smile towards Nan Ci.
"Nannanci, you, are you okay?"
Nan Ci shook his head, "It's okay."
Li Chuang still stuttered, "What about those people?"
"They're all dead." Nan Ci said calmly, "Why? Do you know them?"
"No! I don't know them!" Li Chuang shook his head like a rattle, "I don't know them at all. I was just thinking. They don't look like good people. It's better for them to die. It's better for them to die!"
Listening to Li Chuang's words, Nan Ci just curled the corners of his lips without delving into the meaning or truth of them.
No matter what Li Chuang thinks in his heart, it doesn’t really matter.
As long as Li Chuang is afraid of her and doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, that's enough.
Nan Ci didn't want to talk much with Li Chuang, and Li Chuang obviously felt the same.
Li Chuang glanced at the big bag in Nan Ci's hand and said with a smile, "Do you have anything else to do? Then I won't bother you anymore, just get busy!"
Hearing Li Chuang's words, Nan Ci nodded, "Okay."
Just as Nan Ci was about to walk towards Room 3202, the door of Room 3202 opened and Mu Qianqian poked her head out.
"Nan Ci, who are you talking to? I heard it from inside the room."
"No one, I just ran into Boss Li and said a few words to him."
"Boss Li!"
Mu Qianqian said this while looking towards Li Chuang. After seeing Boss Li, Mu Qianqian smiled and said, "Hello, Boss Li. We are about to have dinner. Do you want to join us?"
When Li Chuang heard this, his big round head started shaking like a rattle at double the speed.
"No, no, you guys eat, my family is waiting for me to eat, I'm going home first."
Mu Qianqian kept smiling, "That's a shame. In that case, Boss Li should go back quickly and don't let your family wait anxiously."
After Li Chuang agreed, he quickly retracted his head and closed the door.
He looked so anxious, as if a ghost was chasing him.
Mu Qianqian looked at the door of room 3201 with a puzzled look on her face, "Nan Ci, what happened to him?"
Nan Ci smiled and said, "Maybe he's hungry!"
"So that's how it is!" Mu Qianqian said, rubbing her stomach, "Not only is he hungry, I'm hungry too. Let's go inside quickly. I think the pot is about to boil."
The two of them said no more and entered room 3202 together.
Because a cotton curtain was hung again in the area leading to the living room, it not only blocked the wind coming in from the door, but also blocked some of the smells in the living room. Nan Ci could only vaguely smell the fragrance from the bottom of the pot.
It was not until Mu Qianqian walked quickly forward and lifted the cotton curtain that the smell of the spicy hot pot soup base wafted out and hit Nan Ci's face.
Come to think of it, Nan Ci hasn't had hotpot for a while. Smelling the rich aroma, his appetite became active.
In addition to being able to place a large pot on the big pot table, there is still a lot of space left.
At this time, most of the empty spaces were occupied by plates and bowls, which were filled with various ingredients for hot pot, both meat and vegetables.
Except for the lack of green leafy vegetables, these ingredients can be said to be very rich.
Nan Ci raised the bag in his hand and said, "I brought some bacon over here. You can put it in and cook it first. The meat needs to be cooked for a while longer so that it can be more flavorful."
The old Taoist priest casually picked up a sharp and thin knife from the big pot and said, "Leave it to me. I'll cut it and put it in."
After seeing the old Taoist priest playing with blades, Nan Ci knew that the old Taoist priest was very good at using knives and this task could indeed be handed over to him.
After Nan Ci took out a few bottles of sauce from the bag, he handed the bag to the old Taoist priest.
Zhou Ziyang helped the old Taoist priest to prepare various bacon, while Mu Qianqian came to Nan Ci and studied with him how to make the sauce.
The four cats and the little turtle didn't eat hotpot. Instead, they gathered together, and it was unclear whether they were having a meeting or chatting about gossip.
By the time the four of them had prepared everything and finally sat down to eat, it had already darkened outside.
The wind and snow continued, and snowflakes were swirling in the air, making people feel bone-chillingly cold just by looking at them.
But as they gathered around the steaming hot pot and ate the fragrant hot pot, they didn't feel cold at all.
The flavor of hot pot is very strong, especially when it is boiled and cooked for a long time, the flavor becomes even more fragrant.
Although there are no windows, there are vents so the smell can still dissipate.
Some people in Building 11 smelled the fragrance.
Regardless of the cold, he leaned against the window and breathed hard.
Nan Ci and the other three knew that the fragrance would be smelled by others, but they didn't care.
The end of the world has come, and the number of people I have killed is not enough if I put my hands together. If I still care too much about what others think and dare not eat or drink, then what is the point of living?
The benefit of hotpot is not only that it is delicious, but also that you can chat while eating without worrying about the food getting cold.
The four of them spent more than two hours on this meal, and added water to the bottom of the pot three or four times to avoid the pot from drying out.
At the end of the meal, I cooked four packets of instant noodles in it.
Looking at the noodles bubbling in the pot, Mu Qianqian sighed, "What a pity, there are not enough vegetables, otherwise it would be more appetizing!"
In City X before the end of the world, vegetables were more expensive, but generally people could still afford them.
But now, first there was heavy rain for more than a month, and now it is ice and snow. It is harder than climbing to the sky to eat some vegetables.
Zhou Ziyang and the old Taoist priest also sighed repeatedly, only Nan Ci remained silent.
To Nan Ci, vegetables are really worthless.
After sowing the seeds, they will grow into lush green vegetables in a few days. She can't eat them all by herself, so she has to pick them and store them in the basement.
Because vegetables grow so fast, they can be eaten for a long time after being planted once, so Nan Ci no longer plants them.
But with so many vegetables, Nan Ci could only eat them slowly by himself and could not share them with Mu Qianqian and the others.
Even though they are partners now, the space is Nan Ci's biggest secret and must never be told.
After thinking for a while, Nan Ci said softly, "How about we try to grow some vegetables ourselves?"
