Chapter 421 Absolutely Safe
Because the water is not that cold anymore, there is no ice on the surface.
The big dogfish swam upstream quickly, and then saw Lu Qiaoge standing on the beach and smiling at it.
Then, the old turtle caught up. Although its speed was not as fast as before, it was not far behind. It surfaced right after the big dogfish.
Then grass carp and red carp swam over.
Lu Qiaoge didn't go to collect Huahua and the others. If someone happened to be with them and they suddenly disappeared, it would be a disaster.
Long story short, after figuring out what was going on, the pike happily swam around in the lake. Although slightly different, this lake seemed similar to the bottom of Red Star Lake, just not as cold and frozen.
What surprised them even more was that the water seemed to contain a trace of energy, making them feel as if they were wandering in the warm spring sunshine.
It was not until then that the big pike heard about the thrilling experience of the great sharks and their group on the deserted island who were almost sent to the barbecue grill, and they couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Lu Qiaoge let them get familiar with each other first, and then explore the waters: "It's absolutely safe here, play however you want."
She noticed that the boxes she had pulled from the sea were actually high-quality mahogany, so she carefully stacked them on the beach to dry.
There was no time to take out all the boxes, so Lu Qiaoge left the space in a flash of thought.
Just then, I heard the sound of a key opening the door, and Qin Hengzhi came back.
Qin Hengzhi opened the door, put the net bag in his hand on the cabinet in the hallway, and looked at Lu Qiaoge who was standing in front of the window.
After a brief silence, he didn't pretend to be ignorant this time and asked directly: "Is the problem solved?"
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "It's solved!"
After saying that, he walked over and added with bright eyes: "And thank you for the polar gemstone you gave me."
Qin Hengzhi's eyes were brighter than Lu Qiaoge's. Does that mean he really helped Qiaoge?
If Qin Hengzhi is not curious, then he is not a normal person.
This little creature seems to have supernatural powers. Not only can he communicate with animals, but he also seems to have a bigger secret.
But he knew that the answer to this question could not be obtained by simply asking.
If Qiao Ge wanted to tell him, he would naturally tell him. The reason he didn't say it now might be because the time was not right.
Qin Hengzhi told himself this in his heart and believed it firmly.
He knew that if there was even a hint of doubt, he and Qiao Ge would not continue on.
Compared with whether he could stay with her for a long time, the big secret seemed insignificant to him.
Lu Qiaoge looked at Qin Hengzhi's expression and felt very satisfied with his insight and broad-mindedness.
So she hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him down, and bit him gently on the lips.
Qin Hengzhi certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. The kiss was lingering and passionate, as if to melt them both...
No matter how happy you are, you can't keep kissing, you still have to eat.
Qin Hengzhi brought back six lunch boxes, which contained not only the braised pork and spicy and sour potato shreds mentioned earlier, but also one containing egg soup, another containing pickled radish and a mixture of various vegetable roots, and the other two boxes contained rice.
Qin Hengzhi is handsome, but that doesn't mean he can't eat. With his busy work schedule and training every day, his appetite is amazing. Sometimes, just watching him eat makes me feel that his food is particularly delicious.
But it was a bit cold outside, so Qin Hengzhi said, "Wait a moment, I'll light the stove. The braised pork needs to be heated up, otherwise it will be too greasy."
A box full of braised pork is also filled with stewed potatoes. This big pot dish is fragrant, glutinous and melts in the mouth. The potatoes are full of gravy and are particularly tasty.
Few families here use gas stoves; nearly every household has a built-in stove, and some even have a small iron stove. In winter, balconies often have a pile of coal briquettes, making it very convenient to heat up food.
Lu Qiaoge rolled up his sleeves and said to Qin Hengzhi, "I'll make the fire. I know how to do it."
Seeing Lu Qiaoge's enthusiastic look, Qin Hengzhi didn't force him and turned to clean the cooking pot under the faucet. Although he hardly lived in this house, it was fully equipped with pots and pans for cooking.
The stove had two burners. Qin Hengzhi opened the iron door at the bottom and put in the chopped wood. He warned, still concerned, "Be careful when lighting the fire. The birch bark can easily burn your hands."
Nowadays, many families in the north of the city use birch bark to start fires. Some use bamboo shoots, old newspapers, or straw, but birch bark is the best.
Lu Qiaoge smiled as she lit a piece of birch bark, torn into small pieces, and placed it under the wood. She quietly channeled her palm energy over it, and with a "puff," the wood burst into flames. She then added a few lumps of coal.
The surface of the coal blocks in the north has a layer of light. Although they are not resistant to burning, they have enough heat.
That's it.
The rice, braised pork and egg soup were heated up, and the hot and sour potato shreds were also delicious cold, and the pickles were served directly on the table.
Qin Hengzhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Is this our first time eating in this house?"
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Yes."
"No, we have to celebrate."
"How do we celebrate?" Lu Qiaoge asked curiously.
Qin Hengzhi opened the cupboard above, took out a bottle of wine, and poured wine into two glasses.
He wanted to say something, but seeing the plain surroundings, he swallowed the words back and said gently, "This house is considered to be fired, let's celebrate."
Lu Qiaoge didn't ask any more questions and clinked glasses with him with a smile.
The braised pork made by the canteen chef is indeed a must-try. It is not only not greasy but also leaves a long-lasting aftertaste.
The spicy and sour potato shreds are just right and the pickles are refreshing too.
In fact, the food in the cafeteria is really delicious now, and tastes like home-cooked meals.
After eating and drinking, the two checked the house again to make sure Lu Yun and Chen Liangsheng could live comfortably there. After locking the door, Qin Hengzhi sent Lu Qiaoge back to the Lu family.
However, they had agreed that Qin Hengzhi would pick her up to go to the movies in the evening.
"Then come early and have dinner at my house. I'll ask my mom to make you some sauerkraut dumplings."
Lu Qiaoge was standing at the gate when he said this. Qin Hengzhi did not go in again. He happily agreed and turned around and strode away.
Lu Qiaoge knew that his mother was standing behind the door, so he pushed it open with a smile.
Meng Xia glared at her. "You're quite good at ordering me around. You even asked me to make sauerkraut dumplings for Hengzhi. Isn't it time you learned how to do that yourself?"
Lu Qiaoge raised his eyebrows and said, "Mom, I'm so smart, I don't need to learn. How about I make the stuffing tonight?"
She really wanted to try it.
After some thought, Meng Xia decided not to let Lu Qiaoge try. Although she was smart, she had never mixed a filling before. If she failed to do it right, everything would be wasted.
This is not like cooking, which can be salvaged. Once the filling is spoiled, there is no way to save it after wrapping it in.
"I still don't believe it. Go and have some rest. You don't need to take care of such a small matter." Meng Xia said with a smile, then asked, "Have you cleaned up the house where your second aunt lives?"
"Yes, it's all ready. We just tested it, and the stove works fine, and the chimney isn't blocked. We have all the food, oil, rice, noodles, cabbage, potatoes, and everything else we need for cooking and eating. I've also changed the sheets and quilts. If you're worried, go take a look."
