It took the old man a long time to calm down.
"Grandpa, have some tea."
Cheng Shaolin handed the old man a cup of tea.
The old man took it and drank a big gulp.
"It seems you are all extraordinary." The old man said meaningfully, looking intently at Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin smiled slightly.
"Yeah, it's okay."
The old man then looked up at Li Xiao, who was busy helping with the cooking.
"You're so lucky."
"Hmm." Cheng Shaolin looked over and nodded in agreement.
That's right, if it weren't for Li Xiao, they wouldn't be living like they are now.
This is no different from before the apocalypse.
Who is as comfortable as they are?
Absolutely not.
"Grandpa, why don't you live with us?"
Cheng Shaolin brought it up again, but the old man remained silent and did not answer his question.
Seeing that the old man was deep in thought, Cheng Shaolin didn't disturb him and went to help him.
Seeing his grandson also helping out, the old man observed for a moment.
These children cooperated very well; they seem to do this often.
OK.
My own grandson is the most capable.
When it comes to getting along with people, you need to have both ability and skill.
There's no point in saying more now that things have come to this.
As long as the children are all well, that's enough.
Seeing everyone busy and smiling, the old man's mood also improved.
I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time.
It's good to be with young people; just seeing them can improve your mood.
"Grandpa, do you eat spicy food?"
Xiao Peng stood at the kitchen doorway, holding a spatula, and asked.
"It's food, what the old man eats. It's just that there aren't many seasonings available now, so he rarely eats it."
He Yunzhen was helping to pick vegetables when she got up and replied.
"Yeah, right, I used to like spicy food too, but I haven't had it in a long time."
"Oh, okay, then you should have a good taste today. It'll be easier if you can handle spicy food."
As Xiao Peng spoke, he returned to the kitchen with great interest.
"Hmm, Xiaoxiao was really smart and collected a lot of seasonings. We can't get any of these now." Shao Jie brushed the crabs and tossed them to Meng Yang.
Meng Yang extended a thin vine from his hand, tied the crab's leg together, and set it aside.
The collaboration went smoothly, and the team worked together seamlessly.
On the other side, Li Xiao and the others picked the vegetables and put them into a basin, Tian Tian added water, and Qiu Fengyu stretched out her fingers, which transformed into wooden branches, to start washing the vegetables.
The cooperation here is also pleasant and seamless.
Yu Yanbin transformed into a vegetable chopper, his metal-type superpower manifesting as a knife, moving rapidly on the cutting board with a clattering sound, so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Cheng Shaolin helped clean the fish and meat. Now that he didn't need to burn firewood, that was all he could do.
He's a fire element person and not particularly afraid of the cold, so this kind of work suits him well.
The cooperation was orderly and well-organized.
It's not messy at all.
With the ingredients almost ready, He Yunzhen went to help cook.
After all, her cooking skills are quite good.
Because the kitchen is too small, there is no space to steam rice.
In the past, the rice was always steamed in the room across the street, and today was no exception.
"Then I'll go and steam the rice."
After Meng Yang and Shao Jie finished their work, they got up and went to the other side.
Li Xiao followed along; the things were all in her space, and she had to go and retrieve them.
I'm short on time today, so I won't steam rice, but I'll steam some steamed buns instead.
There are still some steamed buns left in the space, but there won't be many after we finish them today.
"I'll stay here and watch over things. You guys go ahead."
"Okay, call me when you're done."
Shao Jie and Li Xiao returned to the opposite side, leaving Meng Yang alone to guard the furnace.
Actually, the steamed buns inside the steamer are still warm and don't need to be steamed again.
It's just a formality.
Everyone understands; the meaning is clear without needing further explanation.
Li Xiao then took out another bag of flour, which weighed 20 jin (10 catties).
"What is this for?"
Shao Jie looked at the bag of flour and asked.
"Make dumplings."
Li Xiao's explanation was concise and clear.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard that.
They haven't made dumplings in a long time.
It seems we got to eat dumplings today thanks to the old man.
"Dumplings? Ah, I'll knead the dough then."
As he spoke, Shao Jie began to roll up his sleeves, ready to get to work.
What kind of filling is it?
Cheng Shaolin tilted his head and looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao thought for a moment, "What kind of filling do you want?"
Cheng Shaolin was stunned.
Suddenly, she looked at the old man.
"Grandpa, what kind of filling do you want?"
The old man was also taken aback by the question.
Can you still choose the filling now?
Did I hear that right?
Seeing his grandson staring intently at him, the old man was finally certain that he hadn't misheard.
"Uh, meat?"
When it comes to dumplings, the old man immediately thinks of celery and pork filling, mushroom and pork filling, and three-delicacy filling...
Of course, these are all filled with meat.
Cheng Shaolin turned to look at Li Xiao.
Without saying a word, Li Xiao threw a piece of pork belly onto the table.
What Li Xiao was thinking was that there wasn't much left.
I'm going to slaughter the pig myself.
Let's eat first, aren't we leaving?
Let's rip some off on the way.
With meat, how could we not have side dishes?
Then they took out celery, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallions, and Chinese cabbage.
"Oh my, this is great! These dumplings are sure to be delicious."
Now things are much better. Some are kneading dough, some are picking vegetables, and some are chopping filling. Everyone is busy and happy.
