Chapter 56: Frying onions until golden brown
Yao Tao pushed the chopping board aside a little, turned around and looked at Wen Jiming who was standing at the cell door, "Why are you here?"
Wen Jiming stared blankly at the chopping board, two plates, and a bowl in front of Yao Tao...
"I, I came to see you." He finally found his voice, "Are you okay?"
"Not so good." Yao Tao shook her head slightly. "I thought I'd be provided with food in prison, but I ended up having to cook for myself."
Wu Jun called the guards over and scolded them, "Didn't I tell you to check if she was armed? Didn't you see the knife?"
The guard was terrified. "We searched her bag and she didn't have any weapons on her. I don't know where the knife came from."
Wu Jun scolded the guard, but Yao Tao, as if nothing had happened, handed him the knife and said, "Okay, take it and go. Stop making noise and annoying people."
Wu Jun: “…”
The guard quickly took the knife and retreated to the back in shame.
There are hundreds of these cheap fruit knives in Yao Tao's space, and she doesn't care if one is missing.
She took out the rice cooker from the dormitory from her backpack, skillfully found the socket on the wall, and plugged it in.
Wu Jun: “…”
Wen Jiming: “…”
Yao Tao said to herself, "If only there was another socket, it would be perfect for charging the emergency light."
The electricity at the resettlement site is free, so don’t waste it.
Wu Jun was really angry.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
A captured person was actually using their electricity in the prison, cooking and cutting vegetables!
Wu Jun called the guard over and scolded him again, "Who asked her to cook here?"
The guard was very aggrieved. "Captain Wu, we don't provide meals here. Either their families bring meals here, or they bring their own dry food for a few days. You can't stop them from eating here, right?"
Wu Jun: "You can't cook here either."
"You don't have a rule against cooking here." Yao Tao said, "I specifically checked your rules when I came in, and there's no such rule."
Wu Jun: “…”
I'm angry, but there's nothing I can do.
Changing the regulations now?
He couldn't bring himself to do that.
Yao Tao took this opportunity to pour oil into the pot, put onions in and fry them slowly until golden brown.
The corridor was suddenly filled with the aroma of fried onions.
The people in other cells walked to the door and looked over here.
"Ahhh, I can't stand it, this smells too good!"
"Who is this, so rich, taking fried onions in a prison?"
Wen Jiming stood outside the prison door and suddenly felt a little pitiful.
I thought Yao Tao would be sad and scared after being locked up, but...that's it?
He hadn't had time to eat dinner, and after smelling the fragrance, he felt even hungrier.
But he couldn't be so shameless as to ask Yao Tao for a free meal here.
Wu Jun is still standing here...
He turned his head to look at Wu Jun.
Wu Jun's throat was moving up and down, as if he was swallowing something.
Wen Jiming turned away helplessly.
Oh, it’s too shameful to watch.
It’s better to talk to Yao Tao about business quickly and leave here as soon as possible.
Wen Jiming told them that he wanted to go outside the resettlement site to look for mutant bats.
Yao Tao listened attentively, but her hands were busy.
After frying the onions, she took out the golden onions and picked up the bowl beside her.
Only then did Wen Jiming and Wu Jun notice that the small bowl actually contained chopped raw meat.
The fresh meat has a rosy color and is wrapped in oil the moment it is poured into the pot, making a pleasant sound.
The people in the other cells were howling.
"I can't stand it anymore! I want to eat meat!"
The guards shouted repeatedly, and finally the noise was suppressed.
"What did you say just now?" Yao Tao asked Wen Jiming while fiddling with the meat in the pot. "They were too noisy just now. I didn't hear clearly."
Wen Jiming: “…”
He regretted it and shouldn't have come.
