Chapter 400 399. Grilled Pork Belly [Two-in-One]
After rejecting Uncle Zaozi, Huaiyu happily prepared to cook and waited for Chen Xing to come.
Lin Xuefeng was collecting firewood nearby. Seeing her focused look, she didn't even mention whether she would feel bad if she didn't get the 50,000 points...
According to normal thinking, it will definitely happen.
But for Huaiyu, everything that had passed was no longer important - even though they knew that with this money, they could build a house and tidy up their home in a decent manner.
He looked at Huaiyu and couldn't help but smile again.
Huaiyu turned around and saw it, wondering: "What are you laughing at?"
Although she looks pretty when she smiles.
She thought about it, touched her hair, looked at her clothes, and then put her hands on her hips proudly: "Is it because I am busy in front of the stove that I am so virtuous to you? You will love me even more."
Lin Xuefeng's tender thoughts turned into helplessness:
"Yes. A little more every day."
Then he added: "Lend me a copy of your spiritual food tonight."
He wanted to see what story was inside.
Xiaoyu's current appearance is exactly like what Huaiyu had dreamed of before. Although her relationship with Wu Yue is unhealthy, she has learned something from it.
But Huaiyu obviously didn't understand it at all.
He looked away, glanced at the few remaining firewood in the utility shed, and asked, "Do you want me to buy some firewood tomorrow?"
Huaiyu shook his head: "Don't worry, there is no need to light a fire to keep warm now. We don't use much firewood every day. Let's wait a little longer."
As he was speaking, he heard a car horn.
Huaiyu covered the pot and said happily, "It must be Sister Chen Xing who is here! Brother Zhou Qian, go pick her up!"
When she came back, she only dared to park her car on the side of the road, and she didn't dare to go in. Even if she hadn't been here before, she might not have dared to accept Huaiyu's invitation.
But the little girl is so pitiful! She is so young, but she has to live in the wilderness with two old men who know nothing. I heard they even want to build a house - do they know what a girl needs?
Thinking of this, Chen Xing felt a surge of pity, and stepped on the accelerator with all her strength to come over. She came, but her courage disappeared when she saw the rose corridor in the distance. Now she could only sit in the car, looking at Zhou Qian who came out to pick her up with a tangled look.
When Zhou Qian got in the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you really scared living here every day?"
Zhou Qian thought to himself, you haven't seen how doting Rose Corridor is on Xiaoyu. Although he often makes her scream with anger, the most serious thing he does to Xiaoyu is to throw flower petals on her head.
What kind of killing power can that thing have?
At the beginning, Zhou Qian was nervous. He felt his muscles tense even when he was turning over the vegetable garden.
But now, he has even become accustomed to it.
At this moment, he comforted her generously: "Don't worry, it's okay."
Now that he was here, Chen Xing couldn't just turn around and leave, so he could only use his strength to restart the car.
When the car turned over the gentle slope and saw Huaiyu's house, Chen Xing suddenly asked: "Is that person General Lin?"
Zhou Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was the day they went to find Zhao Feiyan. After a pause, he nodded: "Yeah."
Chen Xing gasped, and her face flushed with excitement in an instant. Even though she was mentally prepared, her mind still buzzed uncontrollably. She waited until the car stopped at the door before she trembled and said, "Fuck."
Zhou Qian: …
He had a headache: "Don't let Xiaoyu learn it..."
As he was talking, Huaiyu had already run out of the utility shed happily: "Sister Chen Xing! Let's have charcoal grilled pork belly for lunch! Do you like it?"
Chen Xing's words were stuck in her throat. The next moment, she strode forward, hugged Huai Yu and patted her back heavily: "Give me more, I love it!"
After saying this, he sighed with a pale face: "These days are really not a life for human beings."
She regretted it more than once after she came back. If she had known earlier, she would have stayed with the brother and sister in the wilderness. Apart from other things, the food at that time was really good.
Huaiyu nodded: "I understand! The soil is too polluted!"
Let's not talk about anything else. The lettuce that went with the grilled pork belly at noon today was all grown with the soil from the several large baskets of planting boxes that she brought to the wilderness. If the soil in the field is not purified, it is useless.
Isn’t it!
At this point, Chen Xing remembered something again, and pointed to the back of the truck: "I know you want to build a house, and I don't know what to send. I thought you bought coal and didn't pick it up for a long time, so I brought you a truckload."
"This thing won't break, don't despise it."
Huaiyu exclaimed, "Sister Chen Xing! How did you know that we have run out of coal?"
This thing is not expensive, one cent can buy 3 pieces of honeycomb coal, the main source of heating in the whole city in winter. But Huaiyu set out just after the temperature dropped, so I didn't prepare much.
Now when I come back I still burn firewood every day and I almost forget I can still buy this thing.
Then he went around to take a look at the back of the truck: "So many!"
One cent and three dollars sounds cheap, but there are so many on Chen Xing's car! "This will cost a lot of cents!" Huaiyu looked at Chen Xing, but the other party waved his hand carelessly: "I am now full and the whole family is not hungry. What's the point of saving it? Fenda and the others are doing well. The school has scholarships, but they can't use them."
"And it's not that much, 3,000 yuan and 800 points in total."
Huaiyu was more receptive to this and calculated: "It seems to be cheaper than what we bought before."
Chen Xing nodded: "I bought a lot, normal people only spend a few hundred yuan. Besides, the weather is warm now, it's the off-season."
She said, "Now the solar panels are used to support various construction projects. Otherwise, how comfortable would it be to take a shower with a solar water heater?"
"Xiao Yu, I bought you coal for this. The water heater doesn't work right now, so the merchant specially modified a large barrel that can be placed between the bathroom and the kitchen..."
She came here just to explain this, and she was worried whether these two men could consider the matter to this extent:
"In the kitchen half, remember to set up a coal stove underneath. Three pieces of coal a day can ensure that there is always hot water in the bathroom. There is a simple temperature valve on the top of the bucket. If the water temperature exceeds 45°, it cannot be turned on. It is relatively safe."
"If you add a pressurized shower head, daily bathing will be much more convenient."
Chen Xing said this with a little regret: "I wanted to buy this for you directly, but I thought that you were going to build a house, and that might not match your new bathroom, so I just bought the coal. By the way, do you have a plan for the house?"
She really thought it through very carefully.
Zhou Qian on the side was stunned for a moment, then he said sincerely: "Chen Xing, thank you very much, I didn't expect it at all."
Lin Xuefeng, who was standing by, saw that although Chen Xing had come, he didn't dare to look at him. He knew in his heart that the other party must know his identity.
Since he is someone Huaiyu trusts...
He laughed: "Thanks to you, Chen Xing - I had already made plans to buy a big bucket so that Xiaoyu could get some hot water in advance when she wanted to take a bath."
This would be too much reliance on his special abilities. If he doesn't come back for some reason one day, it would be quite troublesome.
Lin Xuefeng smiled at her and held out his hand: "Hello, I'm Lin Xuefeng. Xiaoyu's boyfriend."
Chen Xing looked at him seriously, then looked at Huaiyu who was watching Zhou Qian moving coal, and the restraint and awkwardness on his body finally disappeared a little: "Well, I, ahem, I am Chen Xing. Xiaoyu is my savior."
The two shook hands, and Lin Xuefeng felt that the other person's hand seemed to be trembling slightly.
He didn't want to make the other person feel uncomfortable, so he quickly withdrew his hand, rolled up his sleeves and followed Zhou Qian in moving coal.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When the two of them had neatly stacked all these in the utility shed, they simultaneously heard Chen Xing's suppressed excited shout, accompanied by the sound of patting his shoulders, and he seemed very excited: "Xiao Yu! It's Lin Xuefeng! Oh my god, you've had something good!"
"You are so awesome! My face is so bright! Let's talk!"
Zhou Qian: …
"cough!"
He coughed loudly, fearing that Chen Xing would say something blunt and bold to Xiaoyu - she would really learn it! The conversation in the distance stopped abruptly, and after a moment, there was movement again: "This lettuce leaf is so fresh! I'm going to use it to wrap a big piece of pork belly later!"
"No big ones, I cut them very thin and evenly, so they will sizzle when grilled later. The guards added a lot of seasonings, so they are super fragrant!"
"By the way, Sister Chen Xing, do you like to sprinkle the dry dipping sauce directly on top, or prepare a dipping sauce?"
Although his ability to change the subject was awkward, it had to be said that this topic made Zhou Qian hungry.
…
Charcoal-grilled pork belly is the fastest to make. All you have to do is cut the pork belly into thin slices, then skewer it and bake it - but eating only this would be too monotonous, so Huaiyu fried a pot of spicy and sour potato shreds, and then boiled the dough to make a pot of small pancakes.
Sweet and soft white flour pancakes, wrapped with spicy and fragrant potato shreds, and paired with a refreshing and oily lettuce wrap with roasted pork belly...
Chen Xing almost cried from eating so much! This is how people should live! She ate more than a dozen wraps in one breath, and a large plate of charcoal grilled pork belly. She was so full that she felt embarrassed to sit there.
Seeing Lin Xuefeng washing the dishes very naturally, Chen Xing couldn't sit still anymore and grumbled, "Let me help..."
"Of course I need your help."
Huai Yu held her down and said, "Sister Chen Xing, you must not waste your talents! Your abilities should be put to use in the fields!"
Chen Xing looked at Lin Xuefeng and wondered who was being wasted...
But even though she was complaining, Xiaoyu was able to order people around so casually, which proved that she was living a comfortable life. Naturally, she was particularly satisfied. At this moment, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "I just ate too much, so I need to help digest the food. Come, come with me, what do you want to do with this vegetable garden?"
…
Huaiyu was right not to let Zhou Qian plow the soil.
Lin Xuefeng was tidying up the house. He stood by the vegetable patch and picked up a few thick tree trunks. He was sprinkling water and turning them over. It was obvious that he had finally made some room to give his spore powder an edible home.
At the edge of the vegetable field, Chen Xing, who understood Huai Yu's request, asked again: "Are you sure? There are still a lot of vegetables on it..."
"They are all old and can't be eaten."
Not only is it old, but it also has a high pollution level. If you want to eat it, you'll have to spend a lot of effort to purify and process it. It would be better to just plant it again.
Huaiyu sighed sadly, "I really want to raise pigs - but these are useless, and there is no point in collecting them. Sister Chen Xing, just do as I say."
Chen Xing nodded: "Okay!"
She stretched out her right hand and her supernatural power was activated.
The ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly. Not far away, in the neatly maintained vegetable fields by Zhou Qian, the soil was also trembling, rolling, and then breaking into smaller particles.
The old and overly large vegetables on top were also shaking, and in an instant they seemed to be lifted up by something under the soil, and fell to the ground with their roots.
At this moment, it seemed as if a giant earthworm was moving rapidly under the soil! Chen Xing closed his eyes tightly, his palms were already touching the ground, and along with the slight arching of the veins on the back of his hands, the entire vegetable field was surging and shaking at this moment, and the piles of compacted soil clods quickly dispersed, and the structure of the soil became more and more uniform and fine...
But in just a dozen minutes, the large vegetable field in front of him was now only bare yellow soil, and the old vegetables were all buried deep underground. The rows and ridges of vegetable fields above were neat and tidy, even more detailed and the soil was looser than what Zhou Qian had patiently cleared before.
When Chen Xing stood up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Helping someone to open a vegetable garden was not that hard, but the problem was that she liked Huai Yu and wanted to do it perfectly. She even broke the soil into pieces so that she could dig out a large clump of vegetables with just her fingers.
Huai Yu stared at everything in front of her in amazement - this was not the first time she had seen the power of earth-related abilities. When Zhou Qian was building a house before, she saw with her own eyes that Liang Zhu and her assistant worked together to easily level the foundation.
But that is completely different from one's own vegetable garden. Sister Shen Xing must have spent a lot of effort to get this fluffy soil. It looks like a delicate product that an experienced farmer carefully broke up piece by piece with a hoe in the field.
"Wow……"
In the end, she could only sigh and then became happy: "Sister Chen Xing, you are amazing!!!"
"Earth-related abilities are great! They're so useful!"
Even though Chen Xing knew that she was sweet-talking, he couldn't help but smile knowingly at this moment: "In your eyes, are there any bad superpowers?"
Huaiyu thought about it, and finally hesitated and said: "Fire?"
Chen Xing: ...
"You mentioned fire type because you haven't seen any fire type users around you, right? They are usually stationed in coastal cities. There are too few places to use their skills in a city next to the wasteland."
Huaiyu thought about it and said honestly, "But the fire system doesn't seem to be very useful for farming! The earth system can plow the land, the wood system promotes growth, the water system can irrigate the land, and the metal system can also dig the land, sharpen the hoe and shovel... It's just that the fire system, I haven't figured out how they can be useful in farming."
Come on! Good night! It's too late. There's nothing next door tonight.
