Nobody had time to talk; everyone just buried themselves in their work.
If there's delicious food waiting for them, and they're still dawdling, then they've got their brains caught in a door.
Xiao Peng boiled the prawns in water and then took them out. This is the most basic way to cook prawns.
I was busy satisfying my cravings today, so I didn't have much time to make anything complicated. This will have to do.
The fish is cut into small pieces and marinated with ginger, scallions, cooking wine, salt, pepper, chili, and Sichuan peppercorns. After drying for a while, it can be fried.
Fish can't be cooked today, but shrimp is simple; all you need to do is prepare a sauce.
I made about 200 steamed buns, about 150 baozi (stuffed buns), and about 240 rice balls, enough to last for a while.
"Brother Peng, is there enough food?" Li Xiao asked Xiao Peng, worried that there wouldn't be enough food.
Xiao Peng glanced at the large basins on the table: two basins of cucumber salad, three basins of stewed chicken with potatoes, and one basin of eggplant, green beans, and bamboo leaf vegetables.
The dishes are quite simple, with not many variations.
Li Xiao saw that it was still early. The crabs in the pot were steaming and could be left alone. The prawns were already cooked, and the wok for stir-frying was empty.
"Brother Peng, how about we cook two more dishes?"
Xiao Peng had no objections. He had some free time now, and cooking more dishes would make them taste even better, wouldn't it?
"Okay, sure. What dishes should I make?"
Li Xiao thought for a moment, what kind of thing is most abundant in the space right now?
How about we get some seafood? It takes up a lot of space.
He threw a bunch of squid into the large basin that had just contained shrimp, then threw some ribbonfish into the basin that contained fish, and threw some seaweed on the ground.
Everyone stared at the wriggling ribbonfish and squid in the basin, their senses completely numb.
Li Xiao pointed to the ground and looked at Cheng Shaolin beside her.
Cheng Shaolin opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again after 5 seconds. He mechanically squatted down and began a new round of washing and scrubbing.
Li Xiao chuckled to herself and placed some tomatoes, green peppers, and pumpkins next to her.
Just as they were pondering what to eat, Cheng Shaolin's voice rang out, "That's enough, that's enough for today."
?
Li Xiao looked at Cheng Shaolin, whose face was somewhat stiff, as if he was gritting his teeth and enduring something.
Following his gaze, Li Xiao noticed that he had already thrown a pile of green vegetables on the floor, almost covering most of the room.
There were already four or five large basins on the ground, taking up a lot of space. Now the remaining space is also taken up by these vegetables, and there's almost no room to even move your feet.
No wonder Cheng Shaolin called for a stop; if they kept throwing people out like that, they'd bury them alive.
Li Xiao felt a little embarrassed; she had been lost in thought and hadn't been paying attention to her hands. She glanced at Cheng Shaolin, who blinked helplessly.
Li Xiao scratched the tip of her nose with her finger, tugged at the corner of her mouth, and sat down to start picking vegetables.
Cheng Shaolin reluctantly looked away, finding it amusing. This girl had really revealed too much today; she was almost reckless.
Is this what it means to let loose and have fun?
Cheng Shaolin chuckled.
Peel the pumpkin, cut it into chunks, and stir-fry it in a pan until it turns golden and sweet.
Remove the stems from the green peppers and wash them; let's make tiger-skin green peppers!
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces, add the eggs, and the soup is ready.
Once the last bucket of tomato and egg soup is poured into the large vat, today's cooking mission is officially complete.
After cleaning everything up, Li Xiao put away all the cooking utensils, leaving only the makeshift stove she had set up.
"Should we demolish it?" Shao Jie asked. He might not be back here tomorrow, and leaving these things would make people suspicious.
"Tear it down, clean it up, and don't leave any trace."
"good."
Finally, everything is clean and tidy, so I can sit down and rest.
No one complains about being tired after a long day. If you're tired even with good food around, you might as well not live at all.
If someone isn't even enthusiastic about eating, there's something wrong with their brain.
The last large bowl of crabs was placed on the table; after eating this, we could rest.
Now no one says they won't eat anymore; they happily pick one up and start munching.
With delicious food in front of us, let's eat first!
"It's delicious, it's so delicious!"
"Mmm, this is delicious. This crab is so plump."
"I don't think any of the crabs I've eaten before have been this fat."
"Eating can't shut you up." Xiao Peng glanced at the two who were still commenting on what they were eating.
Shao Jie and Tian Tian just laughed foolishly, looking at Xiao Peng with a grin, and didn't continue talking.
"It really is delicious, even better than what I've had before. Sigh, I'm just lucky to be here." Meng Yang finished the last bite, wiping his fingers, still savoring the taste.
"Mmm, it tastes good." Even Yu Yanbin, who is usually very image-conscious, acted like a commoner, which proves that it really is delicious.
“Okay, we’ll eat it later.” Li Xiao said without even looking up or thinking.
Cheng Shaolin disagreed, saying, "It's best to eat less of this kind of thing."
Li Xiao looked at him in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Cheng Shaolin glanced at her and said, "This kind of thing has such a strong and overpowering smell that it's hard for anyone not to notice it."
Li Xiao then realized, "Didn't you see I was already out? Of course I know about this. I definitely wouldn't do this inside the base."
"Yeah, we need to be careful outside too. A lot of teams are out doing missions now, so we need to be careful not to get noticed. This smell is too overpowering."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Li Xiao thought about it and agreed; they needed to find the right opportunity.
"Let's go somewhere further away, we're going to be killing zombies anyway."
“That’s fine too.” Cheng Shaolin did not object to the suggestion.
"We'll be making other things in the future, and this smell will always waft out."
“Yes, yes, let’s go somewhere further away. The smell is strong here, we can’t just not cook.” Shao Jie chimed in.
