That cold storage was specially left by Lin Yiran. It wasn't big, but it could hold over a hundred kilograms of vegetables and meat, and it had preservation and refrigeration equipment.
An hour later, Lin Yiran went upstairs to inspect the results. When she reached the second floor, she was amazed by the sight.
The soft orange hues, combined with the sunlight streaming in from afar, perfectly captured the feeling of home she longed for.
After paying the remaining renovation fees and watching the workers leave, Lin Yiran finally breathed a sigh of relief after placing Senran on the light blue bed: "You're really living the good life with me."
It's so exciting to be able to move into my own house so soon! The second floor has two rooms besides a guest room. One is Lin Yiran's room, and the other is Sen Ran's room. His room is more masculine and has a light blue theme. Anyway, Lin Yiran is quite satisfied with both.
[Ding! The shop renovation is complete. Yiran's Food Shop is officially open! You are rewarded with 20 popularity points. Additionally, a Mala Tang (spicy hot pot) food stall will be opening soon. Please prepare your ingredients as soon as possible. If you don't have any, you can buy them in our shop or prepare them yourself.]
[Oh, by the way, spicy hot pot wouldn't be complete without meat, so the meat service has been automatically activated for the host. The host can hunt or buy mutated animal meat from the fresh food market and hand it over to the system store for processing. Note: Helping the host process ingredients is free, but purchasing and processing ingredients will incur a fee.]
Lin Yiran understood immediately. Looking at the virtual mala tang ingredient machine that appeared in front of her, she felt an overwhelming sense of surprise.
She hasn't had mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish) in ages, and she really misses it!
So I immediately went downstairs and placed the food storage container in the corner near the kitchen. After turning it on, I washed some fresh vegetables and put them in, ready to cook a pot for myself right away.
Then she ran to the kitchen, turned on the electric stove, found the special hot pot for mala tang, added water and a spoonful of mala tang seasoning. Oh, right, this seasoning needs to be bought. The pots and pans, including the electric cooker, don't need to be bought, but the seasoning needs to be bought by yourself. This big bottle of mala tang seasoning cost Lin Yiran one popularity point!
Fortunately, this one can makes 100 servings of mala tang, so it's not a bad deal in the end.
When the seasonings in the pot boiled and the aroma became too strong, Lin Yiran stared in astonishment at the seasoning water that looked so delicious she wanted to drink it all in one gulp.
The broth was whitish, with only a little bit of spicy oil on top. Something just didn't look right. How could a spoonful of seasoning be enough to make such a big pot of bone broth?
It's packed with technology and ruthless skill.
"System, is there anything strange added to this? If there is, I dare not eat it." Lin Yiran still felt that her life was more important. After all, before the apocalypse, there were hundreds or even thousands of such things exposed. Her favorite starch sausage and snail rice noodles had both been exposed.
I remember she was sad for a long time back then, and then the apocalypse came. Everyone's eating habits changed from not daring to eat anything to just having something to eat, and they didn't care whether there was any meat paste, odor enhancers or additives in it.
It's just a pity about her snail rice noodles.
System 101 was puzzled by the host's question, so it asked, "What can be added? This is just pure pork bone soup, which is then concentrated and reduced over high heat to this paste-like consistency. Oh, right, the grease floating on top is just the hot pot base you used to eat, but it tastes different and is very delicious. You should try it."
With the system's assurance, Lin Yiran brought over a plate of vegetables from outside. It was just a little bit of white radish, corn, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, and white jade mushrooms. Then she used one popularity point to exchange with the system for ten catties of various hot pot meatballs and five catties of cleaned tripe and beef rolls. She put the uneaten food into the cold storage. She could only take out enough ingredients for one person, cooked them, and then ate them at the small table outside.
The first bite.
She was so impatient that she almost burned her tongue. She could only frown and blow on the bok choy again and again until it was completely cooled before putting it in her mouth.
For a moment, Lin Yiran was still somewhat bewildered.
This tastes exactly the same as the mala tang she ate before the apocalypse!
In short, it can be summed up in one word: fresh, fragrant, and spicy! The combination of these flavors is like beautiful musical notes dancing on her tongue, which is a bit of an exaggeration.
It really only takes two words: delicious. It truly is delicious!
Lin Yiran didn't hesitate any longer. She took out a small bowl and ate while waiting for the radish in it to cool down. After the radish cooled down, she took a bite. The radish was so juicy that it dripped down. She quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue so that no one would see how greedy she was.
She was really craving it; in fact, she hadn't eaten it in two lifetimes.
fragrant!
Just as she was enjoying her meal, she reached for a tissue and saw someone lingering at the door. It was someone she knew, so Lin Yiran put down her chopsticks and went outside.
Upon going outside,
"Lin Fu, what are you doing here?" It was the dark-skinned stall owner who sold barbecue before.
Perhaps because he had rested well these past few days, he seemed a little fairer. Upon seeing Lin Yiran, his bright eyes lit up: "Miss Lin, is it really you? I've been looking for you here for days, but I haven't seen you selling things. I thought... I thought you..."
"But it's good that you're alright." Lin Fu smiled apologetically, then handed the fruit he was carrying to Lin Yiran, who took it and ushered him into the shop to sit down.
I also roughly know why he came here.
Get straight to the point.
"I'm sorry about what happened last time, Miss Lin, I..." Lin Fu felt deeply guilty. If it weren't for his flamboyant behavior, those people wouldn't have bothered with Miss Lin's formula.
It's all his fault for thinking his barbecue would sell like hotcakes, so he insisted on going to the mercenary encampment to sell his barbecue, which is why he was targeted.
Lin Yiran understood perfectly: "It's alright, this isn't your fault. They weren't actually interested in the ingredient recipe, but... well, something else entirely. It has nothing to do with you, otherwise they wouldn't have come to me for cooperation after you gave them the recipe..."
Lin Fu seemed not to understand, and frowned as he pondered for a moment: "Something else?" It turned out that he really hadn't noticed it.
"What is that?"
He asked, bewildered.
Lin Yiran went straight to the point and said, "Haven't you noticed? The ingredients I make not only taste good, but they also help with the recovery of one's mental energy. You could say that my food doesn't contain any violent energy, and if you eat enough of it, it can even calm a violent mental energy."
