"Then we won't need to."
Yu Xiangnan shook his head.
She didn't lack any supplies, nor was she so greedy as to insist on eating vegetables. As a "God of Cookery," Liu Chengcheng could easily tamper with the dishes.
If Liu Chengcheng continues to follow her, her actions will be greatly restricted, which will do more harm than good. It will be better for her to act alone.
Moreover, Liu Chengcheng's original intention was to save people, so there was no need for me to be so ruthless...
Yu Xiangnan's sighs were barely audible.
"Never mind, you can go."
Liu Chengcheng: "!!!"
"No, no, no, I'll cook you a dish right now to thank you for sparing my life!"
Liu Chengcheng quickly walked to the black rope that was not far away, which had its own "personality" and "ideas", and put it into the card album.
He explained with a slightly embarrassed tone, "I'm not usually like this. It's just that my skill happened to be on cooldown, and then... well, anyway, these two can't kill me. As long as I can save them in the end, that's fine, right?"
The question sounded weak and the voice grew softer and softer.
Yu Xiangnan bluntly stated, "But the person you just saved ran away without any intention of helping you."
Liu Chengcheng paused for a moment, then replied, "That's true..."
"But I swear, I'm not like that man. I will never let the story of the farmer and the snake repeat itself!"
Yu Xiangnan: "?"
Who are you referring to?
As they spoke, Yu Xiangnan's gaze also fell on the walkie-talkie clipped to Liu Chengcheng's waist.
Liu Chengcheng raised her hand to swear, but accidentally touched the walkie-talkie at her waist. In an instant, the walkie-talkie suddenly emitted a "buzzing" sound, followed by a clear human voice coming from it.
This sudden situation surprised both Liu Chengcheng and Yu Xiangnan.
"Sizzle—sizzle—"
"Attention survivors, we have established a large shelter near City A, with ample food, water, and medical supplies. The government has deployed troops to carry out pest control operations."
"We sincerely invite survivors to proceed to the large shelter as soon as possible. The shelter is located in the eastern part of City A. Follow the main road of Linghai and turn left at the third intersection. You will see armed personnel there. We will provide necessary help and support to every survivor who arrives. Please inform each other and go to the shelter as soon as possible to get through this difficult time together."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiangnan suddenly realized what was going on.
It seems most players have gone to this shelter; no wonder she rarely encountered other players before...
Liu Chengcheng explained, "This large shelter appeared three days after the mutated insects attacked. My former teammates are all in the shelter now. However, I was betrayed by them, and I had no choice but to leave the shelter and act alone."
“The Shelter…” Yu Xiangnan lowered his eyes in thought. “On the contrary, I think this instance is not that simple. Your leaving the Shelter might be a good thing.”
She didn't believe the instance would be so kind as to provide players with food and drink in the shelter, allowing them to safely spend thirty days there.
As she spoke, Liu Chengcheng had already taken out the pot she used for cooking.
However, the next second she suddenly stopped, as if she had suddenly remembered something important, and quickly looked up.
"Idol, is there anything you particularly want to eat?"
Since Liu Chengcheng had asked, Yu Xiangnan answered without hesitation, "Sweet and sour pork."
"Great! Luckily, we still have some pork. I'll cook it now, just a moment."
Liu Chengcheng took out the ingredients, rolled up her sleeves, selected a large piece of fresh pork tenderloin, placed it on the cutting board, and skillfully sliced it into thin, even slices.
No, it seems a bit too thick...
After slicing the meat, she put the slices into a large bowl, added appropriate amounts of salt, cooking wine, and pepper, and stirred by hand to ensure each slice was evenly coated with the seasonings. She then marinated the meat for a while to allow it to fully absorb the flavors.
While marinating the meat slices, Liu Chengcheng also started preparing the batter. Then she put the marinated meat slices into the batter, making sure that each slice of meat was completely coated with batter.
Yu Xiangnan stood to the side, his face full of curiosity, and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Liu Chengcheng chuckled and shook her head.
Next, heat the oil in a wok.
When the oil temperature reaches 70%, use chopsticks to pick up the meat slices coated with batter and put them into the oil. Stir them with chopsticks from time to time to ensure that the meat slices are heated evenly. Once they are fried to perfection, quickly remove them with a slotted spoon and drain the oil.
Leave a little oil in the pan, then add the chopped scallions, ginger, and carrots, and stir-fry quickly until fragrant. Next, add appropriate amounts of sugar, white vinegar, and light soy sauce to make a sweet and sour sauce.
After the sauce boiled in the pot, Liu Chengcheng poured the fried meat slices into the pot and stir-fried them quickly so that each slice of meat was evenly coated with the sauce.
In no time, a plate of delicious-looking and fragrant sweet and sour pork was ready.
Liu Chengcheng handed the plate of sweet and sour pork to Yu Xiangnan and thoughtfully gave her a pair of chopsticks.
"This is my enhanced version of the new dish, Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork)."
Yu Xiangnan was taken aback.
At the same time, on the other side.
Normally, when Yu Xiangnan encounters other players, Bula will go off to play on his own, and if he encounters other neutral NPCs, he will boast about it.
This behavior is what it calls "jungling".
Having gained nothing today, suddenly, an enticing aroma wafted through the air, and Bula was immediately drawn to it.
Its nose twitched violently, following the scent as if pulled by an invisible force.
They came by the smell.
【information】
[Bula]: What's this delicious food?
[Bula]: I want to eat too!
Yu Xiangnan automatically ignored it.
Whether or not to do it is Liu Chengcheng's business, and whether or not to eat it is her choice. Anyway, she just wanted to take the opportunity to observe the profession of "God of Cookery".
If a chef wants to add something to his dishes without anyone noticing, no one will be able to detect it.
After the sweet and sour pork was cooked, Liu Chengcheng subconsciously ate a piece to try it out. At that moment, she noticed that Yu Xiangnan was staring straight at her, and she felt embarrassed.
"Well, as the saying goes, a cook who doesn't steal food isn't a good cook."
Yu Xiangnan seemed to realize something and said with a hint of doubt, "This is different from the previous sweet and sour pork, isn't it? There was so little meat, it was all batter. How come there's so much meat in this one?"
"Hey, when have you ever seen my sweet and sour pork?"
"【Online Player Trading】I bought from 'Unparalleled Master's' stall once, are you the stall owner?"
Liu Chengcheng felt a chill run down her spine and remained silent.
"Integrity is the most important thing in doing business, and at least I didn't use fake meat."
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
It turns out she wasn't the only unscrupulous businessman.
