Xiao Peng distributed some cucumbers to everyone and then placed the bowl over to Tian Tian and the others.
Tian Tian couldn't wait to pick up a piece and stuff it into her mouth.
"Mmm, this isn't very spicy, it's delicious."
Li Xiao also picked up a piece and ate it; it tasted great. It was crispy and had a delicious sour and spicy flavor.
Eating hot pot now, it's so spicy I'm sweating, this is really good.
After finishing a bowl of rice, Li Xiao picked up a crab and started gnawing on it. She didn't have a big appetite, and this was enough to fill her up.
Tian Tian was about the same as her, but ate a little more. She also took a crab and sat down to the side to start eating it.
People with superpowers have a better appetite than ordinary people and eat more.
Women like Li Xiao and Tian Tian tend to have smaller appetites than men.
Before long, Qiu Fengyu finished eating and took the crabs to Li Xiao and the others to eat slowly.
The man is still only 60% full; there's still a lot of food left. They won't feel full until they finish their food.
The steaming heat and the irresistible aroma permeated the small space, filling the nostrils and lingering there.
This little corner of the world is so lively, just like before the apocalypse. A few close friends are drinking, eating, and chatting, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
At this time of year, it's difficult to even have a peaceful meal. Who can sit around the fire like Li Xiao and the others, enjoying hot pot, crabs, and chatting and laughing so easily?
Li Xiao looked out the glass window. The glass inside the room was blurred by the heat, making it impossible to see outside.
It's only been a few months, and humanity is already struggling so much. It's really hard to imagine what things will be like in the future.
Li Xiao was unhappy, but she knew it was not something she could worry about, so she didn't think much of it and looked away.
Seeing Tian Tian excitedly munching on a crab and talking to Qiu Fengyu with a smile, she also curled up the corners of her mouth.
As long as the people around her are doing well, she doesn't care about anyone else.
As long as we can all live in peace, that's enough.
It took almost 40 minutes for Cheng Shaolin and the others to finish eating.
After eating my fill, I felt warm all over, and the cold wind and snow outside didn't seem so cold anymore.
"Let's look around the neighborhood later and take anything we can."
Meng Yang lowered his head in thought, "It's getting late, should we rush back for the competition?"
It's almost 4 o'clock now, and it's getting dark. If we rush back, we won't be able to find what we're looking for.
Yu Yanbin asked Li Xiao, "Is it okay to stay out overnight?"
Li Xiao looked at him and said, "It can always be done, it's just a bit troublesome."
Everyone laughed when he said that.
"Okay, let's take a look first, then find a place to spend the night."
It's late today, and finding something won't be quick. Time is too tight, and it's not easy to find things easily.
"How about we stay here? We can look around the neighborhood and rest here tonight," Xiao Peng said, looking at the kitchen utensils on the ground.
Yu Yanbin didn't think it was a bad idea, so he nodded.
It's too much trouble to put these kitchen utensils away, so resting here for the night is fine, and there's no need to look for them anymore.
"That's fine, just look around the area." After Yu Yanbin gave the instructions, everyone went out together to search for supplies.
It wasn't that we didn't want to look for supplies before, it's just that the city had been ransacked and there wasn't much good stuff left.
I came here hoping to find some other good things.
Few people come here. Everyone thinks that the city has the best supplies, so what good things could these small counties have?
Li Xiao and the others came here with a try-it-out mentality, hoping to get lucky.
The small county town was quiet, with snowflakes fluttering in the howling north wind.
Every household's doors and windows were frozen solid, the ice layer was incredibly thick.
"Where should we look for it?" Shao Jie asked.
The group stood at a crossroads, facing all directions, unsure which way to go first.
"Any direction will do." Tian Tian looked around and thought it didn't matter which way she went.
"Well, any direction will do, they're all about the same."
"Let's go ahead then," Meng Yang said, pointing to the wider road ahead.
"OK."
And just like that, the whole group glided forward and disappeared in a flash.
The buildings on both sides stood silently in the wind and snow, devoid of human presence and life.
They found a farmers' market and discovered a lot of various seasonings that hadn't been taken away.
"Hey, these are all good stuff, let's look around some more." Xiao Peng's rare cheerfulness was infectious.
They all went into each and every shop and searched diligently.
Without seasonings, even the best ingredients are useless.
They have good ingredients, so they don't need these seasonings.
Everyone except Xiao Peng was happy.
"Look, look, look." Shao Jie was the fastest, darting in and out of each shop, searching the fastest.
Chili sauce, soybean paste, broad bean paste, pepper, MSG, chicken bouillon, chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns...
More and more spices were found; these were things that hadn't been taken with them when the end times came, and things that they hadn't intended to take with them.
They took away grain at the time, so these inedible seasonings were discarded.
This is actually a boon for Li Xiao and his group. They were just in need of these things, and with these items in the car, they can use it for a long time.
"Xiaoxiao, put it away quickly."
"Okay." Li Xiao waved her hand and put all the piled-up items into her spatial storage, placing them with the other seasonings.
