"Brother He, what are we having for dinner?"
He Monian, who was quickly chopping vegetables at the cutting board, paused when he heard the sound behind him. He put down the knife, turned around to look at Nan Qing, who seemed completely out of place in the kitchen, frowned slightly, and said to Nan Qing:
"Comrade Nanqing, why are you in the kitchen? It's dirty here. Go out first. I'll call you when dinner is ready. You've been on the train for so long, go and rest first."
In his heart, Comrade Nanqing was like a fairy from heaven, and he wanted to see Comrade Nanqing, who always dressed herself up beautifully and was fair-skinned.
But to his surprise, Nan Qing ignored what he said at all. Instead, she leaned over him and looked at the vegetables on the cutting board behind him.
"Tomatoes, shall we have scrambled eggs with tomatoes for dinner?"
Nan Qing wouldn't listen to him, and he, seeing that he couldn't say anything harsh to Nan Qing, could only reply:
"Hmm, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cured pork and stir-fried greens. We don't have much food at home, so you'll have to make do with this tonight. Tomorrow I'll go to the city and buy some meat to stew for you."
In fact, even the tomatoes and cured meat were just bought from someone else's house. He had served in the army for nine years and didn't have high requirements for food and daily necessities. Before Nanqing came, he could basically eat a pot of steamed buns a day and mostly Chinese cabbage.
So, apart from Chinese cabbage, various green vegetables, and a small amount of canned food and eggs brought back from the army, there was practically nothing else in his home.
But what he didn't know was that Nan Qing had tasted all sorts of rare delicacies, including now, with an abundance of all kinds of food in her Nebula Realm.
In the previous world, about 20 or 30 years after the end of the apocalypse, the world gradually returned to its former prosperity and order. From then on, Shi Bei resigned from all his military posts and took Nan Qing to travel all over the world. Every time they went to a place, they would buy all kinds of local delicacies, all of which were cooked and packaged, and Nan Qing would put them all into her space.
In fact, after the apocalypse ended, the superpowers in the bodies of the superhumans all regressed until they disappeared. But he knew that Nanqing must have a place to store things, so he didn't ask any questions and just kept buying.
Therefore, in Nanqing's Nebula Palace, there is a super large palace specifically for storing these delicacies. Because of the restrictions set up by Nanqing with his divine power, all the delicacies are still steaming hot when they are taken out, and the taste is exactly the same.
Whenever He Monian said something hurtful about her, she waved her hand and said to him:
"Brother He, you're too kind. This is already very good, and I also really like eating cured meat."
"By the way, I'll pay for all the groceries from now on. Otherwise, Brother He, you're unwilling to accept my lodging fees and take care of my meals, which would be too much of a burden."
Although he was her father's former regimental commander, Nan Qing felt that she couldn't just keep eating and drinking for free. It seemed that everyone had a hard time in this era. Besides, she had brought so much money and food stamps. She could support not only herself and He Monian, but also an entire family.
She's quite the little rich girl with a bulging wallet!
When He Monian saw that Nan Qing was offering him money again ahead of time, he didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned around, picked up the cleaver on the cutting board, and continued chopping the remaining tomatoes, saying to Nan Qing with his back turned:
"It's getting late, you should hurry up and go out, otherwise the smell of cooking oil will stick to you."
But Nanqing had only come to watch him cook, so she wasn't about to let him tell her everything. Since she was going to take a shower soon anyway, she turned around, found a chair against the wall, sat down, and said to He Monian:
"Just let me look around here, I'm bored sitting outside all by myself."
"I'll sit here, I absolutely won't go near that side, okay?"
No matter which world she was in, Nan Qing was always pampered by her family and loved ones, so sometimes she would speak with a coquettish tone that she herself was unaware of. For example, right now, she just slowed down her speaking speed.
But when her soft, gentle voice and slow tone reached He Monian's ears, it had become an invisible force that seemed to have a hook, stirring up his already restless heart once again.
With his back to Nan Qing, He Monian's face was flushed, his heart was racing, and even his hands holding the kitchen knife felt light and airy, as if he were cutting soft cotton balls instead of tomatoes.
He wanted to say something to Nan Qing, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say. With his back to Nan Qing, He Monian felt extremely annoyed. Never before had he felt so disgusted with his clumsy tongue.
He probably didn't even realize that although he was thinking that way, the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up. At this moment, He Monian, whose heart was still burning with excitement, could only mutter a "hmm" to Nan Qing.
And so, He Monian was busy on the inside of the kitchen, while Nan Qing sat against the wall near the kitchen door, her arms resting on the armrests of the chair, watching with great interest, occasionally discussing He Monian with Xiao Ba in her mind.
He Monian, who seemed very busy, felt his back burning hot and tensed all his muscles. Even when he turned or tilted his head, his jawline became more defined due to his deliberate tension.
He had heard his comrades in the army say that women preferred men who were muscular, had a good physique, and looked strong.
Some comrades have also said that his profile is handsome, so Comrade Nanqing would definitely like it too...
A simple meal of three dishes and a soup, which would normally take half an hour to prepare, took He Monian almost an hour tonight.
He Monian brought several dishes and steamed rice to the table in the main room. During this time, Nan Qing also wanted to bring a dish over, but He Monian refused him righteously. These things were originally the work of men. If Comrade Nan Qing did them, what would be the point of having him?
He Monian's house was newly built, and the electrical circuits and lights were also newly replaced, so the lighting was generally quite bright.
After eating two meals on the train, Nanqing couldn't help but swallow hard as she looked at the golden eggs and fragrant cured meat on the table.
So as soon as she took the rice He Monian handed her, she quickly picked up a piece of egg covered in thick tomato sauce and put it in her mouth.
Nanqing really liked the taste of the eggs; she had always loved this dish. However, she only liked the eggs in the tomato and egg stir-fry and didn't like the tomatoes.
Especially the golden eggs, coated in rich red tomato sauce, that bite is absolutely delicious!!
Nanqing's likes and preferences are the same in almost every world. So whether it's Shi Bei in the previous world or in the small world before that, every time Nanqing eats this dish, she only eats the eggs and leaves the tomatoes for Shi Bei.
When cooking this dish, Shi Bei would deliberately cut the tomatoes into smaller pieces and make the broth thicker, which would be especially to Nan Qing's liking.
Just like the tomato and egg stir-fry that He Monian cooked, the tomatoes were chopped into small pieces, the egg pieces were large, and there was a very thick broth. It was almost exactly the same as the tomato and egg stir-fry she used to eat. Every bite made Nan Qing feel very satisfied.
but........
Just as a thought flashed through Nan Qing's mind, her thoughts were interrupted by He Monian's voice.
