Chapter 43: Making Roujiamo on the spot
The piece of meat that Yao Tao took out weighed almost 2 kilograms including the skin and meat.
She took out a simple plastic cutting board the size of a palm and cut the meat into small pieces with a knife.
After the pot was heated, she took out a small bottle and poured some oil into it.
Wang Mingyang and the family of three all swallowed involuntarily.
Only Nan Nan's eyes looked a little strange. She stared at Yao Tao's face under her hat.
Because of the firelight, Yao Tao's face hidden under the hat was revealed.
Wang Mingyang was so busy staring at Yao Tao cutting meat that he didn't notice anything at all.
Nan Nan recognized Yao Tao, but she did not say anything and did not tell Wang Mingyang who was beside her.
After the oil in the pot was heated, Yao Tao threw in a few pieces of white sugar. When the sugar came into contact with the oil, it gradually changed color and bubbles appeared.
Pour the chopped meat into the pot and the sugar color will instantly coat the meat.
The fragrance wafted out, and Wang Mingyang couldn't help drooling from the corners of his mouth.
"It smells so good." He stared at the meat in the pot expectantly, "Are you going to make braised pork?"
Yao Tao ignored Wang Mingyang and didn't respond to him.
Wang Mingyang was ignored, but he didn't feel embarrassed.
His mind was full of images of eating meat soon.
Who still speculates in sugar color in the end times!
This woman must be seriously ill. There are six of them, and she dares to cook this kind of dish without worrying about them snatching it away.
In his heart, the meat in the pot is already his.
As for whether Yao Tao is willing to share some with him?
Sorry, he thinks all the meat belongs to them. If you don't agree, don't blame us for being rude.
After the meat was fried, Yao Tao added some salt and poured some cooking wine and dark soy sauce.
The family of three over there had been intoxicated by the fragrance and had lost consciousness.
The young man even muttered to his mother, "...we'll rob her later."
Yao Tao heard everything they said clearly.
In fact, even if they didn't say anything, she knew what they were thinking.
If you dare to set your sights on her, you must be prepared to die.
After adding the seasonings, she added some water to the pot, covered it and let the meat stew in the small pot.
Meng Fan dug for half an hour before he finally buried the pile of charred mutant rats. He was so tired that he was gasping for breath.
"Sister, I'm done burying it." He handed over the fire shovel, ready to return it to Yao Tao.
Wang Mingyang and the young man stopped him at the same time: "Wait a minute."
Meng Fan turned to look at them blankly.
Wang Mingyang said anxiously, "This shovel is good, let me see it."
Meng Fan was stunned.
The guy on the other side also stretched out his hand, "Let me see it too, I'll get one tomorrow."
Meng Fan shook his head, "This is my sister's thing, I have to return it to her."
"Wait a moment, let me finish reading it before returning it to you." Wang Mingyang said as he stood up and prepared to snatch it from Meng Fan.
Meng Fan handed the fire shovel to Yao Tao before him.
Yao Tao reached out to catch the fire shovel, and the movement of raising her hand caused the hat on her head to slide back.
The fire lit up her face.
Wang Mingyang suddenly froze.
This face...how could he forget it!
"Ah!" He suddenly took a step back, "Yes, it's her! It's her!" he shouted out of control.
The three of them looked at him in confusion, "What happened to her?"
"She killed the security guard, she killed someone!" Wang Mingyang screamed in horror.
Meng Fan was confused by Wang Mingyang and didn't understand what was going on.
At this time, Nan Nan murmured, "She saved me, she is a good person."
Although Meng Fan didn't know what happened to Nan Nan, he was not stupid and understood it immediately.
In the end times, the strong prey on the weak. Who doesn’t have blood on their hands?
Meng Fan sat down next to Yao Tao to rest without any hesitation.
Yao Tao took out a bottle of pear juice from her bag and handed it to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan took it happily without hesitation, opened it, and drank a big sip happily. "Wow, so refreshing, thank you sister."
In the end times, being able to drink beverages is considered a luxury.
After Wang Mingyang made a noise, he felt awkward and didn't know whether to sit or stand.
He was really afraid of Yao Tao.
The security guard's death left a deep impression on him, and he still gets chills whenever he thinks of that scene.
The young man in the family of three couldn't hold back his anger when he saw Yao Tao giving Meng Fan a drink, "I want one too."
Meng Fan hesitated for a moment, then decided to pretend not to hear and continued drinking his drink.
"I want to drink too. Are you deaf?" The young man got angry and yelled at Meng Fan.
"I've already drunk it, so I can't give it to you again." Meng Fan refused.
Yao Tao knew that Meng Fan was not a stingy person, but he had a habit of never giving other men what he had drunk.
But if women want to drink, he will not be stingy.
The young man was indignant at being rejected and turned to Yao Tao, "I want to drink too. Give me a bottle."
Yao Tao glanced at him and asked, "Why should I give it to you?"
"You gave it all to him, can't you just give me a bottle?" the young man said confidently.
"He helped me with the work, burying those mutant rats. He asked you to help and none of you moved. And you still want a drink? Where's your face?"
Yao Tao retorted, and the young man became angry and said, "If you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me. What's the big deal?"
"It's nothing big." Yao Tao smiled mysteriously.
When I lift the lid of the pot later, you will know what’s so great about me.
Smelling the fragrance from the pot, Wang Mingyang and others felt even hungrier.
They each took out the food they had brought with them, but they didn't want to eat it.
Because they would rather eat what is cooked in Yao Tao's pot.
There was a rustling sound in the bushes not far away. Meng Fan quickly stood up and placed his right hand on the nunchaku hanging behind his waist.
"Don't worry, they don't dare to come over." Yao Tao said lightly.
The shining eyes in the darkness quickly disappeared.
Meng Fan was surprised, "Sister, how did you know they wouldn't dare to come over?"
Yao Tao smiled and said, "Because this land does not belong to them."
Meng Fan didn't understand, "Mutated animals have territories?"
"Of course, every animal has a territory. You can't forget their nature just because they've mutated."
Their essence is still animals, following the laws of nature.
Meng Fan waited until all the eyes in the darkness disappeared before sitting down again. "Sister, do you know who owns this land?"
"Know."
"Will it hurt us?"
"It's hard to say, but not now." The meat in the pot was finally cooked. Yao Tao opened the lid and took out a few baked buns from her bag. She skewered them on a wooden stick and handed them to Meng Fan, "Put them on the fire and roast them."
Meng Fan did as he was told honestly and was very well behaved.
He never asked Yao Tao whether he had a share of the food.
He does whatever she asks him to do. He is so obedient.
While Meng Fan was baking the steamed buns, Yao Tao took the meat out of the pot, drained the soup, and chopped it on a small chopping board.
The family of three couldn't stop smacking their lips when they saw it.
The young man and his mother kept nagging.
"What a shame! Why chop it up?"
"Exactly, it's so satisfying to eat the whole piece."
Yao Tao ignored them and took out two green peppers and a bunch of coriander from the space under the cover of her backpack.
They are all washed, and the juicy green color paired with the braised pork is simply irresistible.
Meng Fan handed the baked steamed bun to Yao Tao. Yao Tao used a knife to cut the baked bun in half, leaving only a small connection, and stuffed the stuffing mixed with meat and vegetables into the bun to make roujiamo.
"You helped me, so I'll treat you." Yao Tao gave the first fragrant roujiamo she had made to Meng Fan.
Meng Fan's eyes were watery with excitement, and Yao Tao felt that he looked especially like a character in a cartoon at this moment.
There are stars in the two big eyes.
What a cute little brother.
Meng Fan took a bite of the roujiamo and squinted his eyes happily.
“It’s so delicious, sis!”
"It's the Roujiamo that's delicious, not my sister." Yao Tao corrected, her tone still calm.
Wang Mingyang no longer dared to have any delusions after recognizing Yao Tao, but the fact that he didn't have any didn't mean that the family of three didn't have any.
Watching Yao Tao and Meng Fan eat their own food, the young man and his mother stood up at the same time, reaching for the other two freshly made roujiamo on the chopping board...
