Chapter 409: Cooking by Yourself



"If it's not Yingchun, how would she know how to use the robot? You must have seen it wrong. Besides, I also asked her about the tone of voice and so on, and she said that she was affected by the environment. These are all irrelevant. She is Yingchun, but you don't want to admit that she is. You want to define her as an evil ghost, so that you can drive me away with a clear conscience, right?" Bai Lu shouted.

"Let me tell you why she knows how to use robots! Because she was a member of the scientific expedition team thirty years ago. Now she is looking for you for some reason. Maybe she heard your request, so she made herself look like Yingchun so that she can attach herself to you. Don't be silly. I tell you the truth, Song Yingchun has long been dead, and even her body has been burned. She can't come back." I said.

"No! You lied to me! My Yingchun is clearly here, she is here. You lied to me because you wanted to drive me away. It must be like this!" Bai Lu shouted.

She started to go crazy again. Perhaps the evil spirit attached to her body, affecting and stimulating her thinking ability, so she seemed so crazy. How could there be two independent consciousnesses in one body at the same time? This couldn't go on. I had no way to persuade her. In order to stop her from shouting and disturbing Yunwen's rest, I quickly closed the door and drew out the Golden Sword and pointed it at her neck.

She slumped to the ground, not daring to move. I said, "Whatever you think, and whether you believe it or not, I don't care, but I have to make things clear. First, you can't hit yourself anymore. Since you're pregnant, he's a life and you shouldn't hurt him. Besides, he's my, Zhou Bo's, child, so how can you hit him whenever you want? Second, from now on, I won't drive you away, but you're not allowed to make noise or do anything wrong. I will bring you food and other things to take care of you. You don't have to do anything, but I may have to take some tough measures against you." I said.

"Brother Zhou Bo, you won't chase me away? Is that true? That's great! Okay, tough measures, let's take tough measures. In order to save the child, you can do whatever you want. I was also afraid that Yingchun would hurt the flesh and blood in my belly. This is what I imagined." Bai Lu said.

But then her expression changed again, and she screamed ferociously, but my Golden Sword moved next to her again, and all the evils retreated, which was enough for her, so she was immediately fine.

I found the rope we brought to the island before, and used it to tie Bailu's hands, asking her to stay still. Also, I thought that the black air was afraid of the cage tree, so I went downstairs to find the fallen leaves I brought back, and held them in front of Bailu. She immediately looked uncomfortable. It seems that this thing is more effective than the talisman.

So I tied up Bai Lu's hands and feet and let her lie on the bed obediently. She looked at me lovingly and her eyes never left me. Now I don't know if she was tired or immersed in it, she was extremely docile and still cooperated with me, but I was clearly tying her up and taking tough measures.

"Do you want to take a psychological test or something? Do you have some kind of masochistic tendencies?" I asked, coughing.

She said coquettishly, "What are you talking about? I just feel that you spend too little time with me, so I especially cherish the time I spend with you."

"Oh! Do you know? I really want to accompany you, but you can't get along with anyone, and I need to have a good relationship with everyone, so your estrangement from me is all due to your own actions. If you had a little bit of Lingshang's broad-mindedness and Yunwen's kindness, I wouldn't have to tie you up like this to get you to stay." I said.

She seemed to be thinking about something, and after I tied it up, she didn't say anything else and was about to go downstairs, but before she left, she called me and said, "Brother Zhou Bo, I'm so hungry, can you make some noodles for me?"

I was stunned, then scratched my neck. It was true that she went upstairs early for dinner and didn't eat with me. It was natural that she was hungry now. I said that I would make sure she had enough food and drink, so I had to do it. Even if it wasn't for her, I should think about the baby in her belly. But my cooking skills were very rusty, and I didn't know if I would make a fool of myself.

"Don't blame me if you don't do well," I said.

She smiled and said, "No matter how bad it tastes, I will love it as long as it's made by you."

In that case, don't blame me for wanting to show off my cooking skills which are not much better than Ling Shang's.

So I went downstairs and found flour, an iron basin and water in the kitchen, and started to knead the dough, let it rest, roll out the dough and cut the dough, imitating the way Bai Lu and the others cooked every day. Then I lit the firewood, poured clean water into a stainless steel pot, and poured some dried black fungus and mountain mushrooms into the pot. The most difficult thing was the seasoning of those dry ingredients. After all, I knew nothing about these things. I couldn't taste the strong or small flavors, so I just put them in according to my feeling.

Then I saw that the noodle soup was boiling, so I put the noodles in and covered the pot. Logically, as a child from a poor family, I should know how to do kitchen things early. However, I have not been able to do these things since I was a child. When I was young, my mother often taught me to cook, but I either made the food too salty or too bland, which wasted a lot of ingredients. Therefore, I was nicknamed the kitchen killer and was never allowed to cook again. So to this day, I still have a shadow in my heart.

If Bai Lu hadn't asked me today, I might never have thought of this in my life.

I waited until it was almost done, then opened the lid. The noodles had become a lump, and the water was almost dry. The noodles had been turned into a lump of mixed noodles, which looked quite abstract. I had no appetite at all. It turned out that the title of kitchen killer was well deserved. But in this place in the wild, wasting food is the same as committing murder for money. So I added some water and forced myself to put the noodles into the bowl. I made a little too much, and after filling a large bowl, there was still a lot left in the pot.

I picked up the chopsticks and shamelessly carried it upstairs. When I got to the room, I put the noodles down and untied the rope for Bai Lu. She held the bowl and looked at it for a long time. I kept scratching my neck, feeling embarrassed and wanting to hide in the tunnel. I said, "Sorry, you have to eat it. I'll let Yunwen cook it tomorrow. I'm a rough man and I'm really not good at cooking."

Who knew that after she took two bites, she couldn't help but burst into tears. I immediately panicked. How bad could this noodle taste if she could cry? I should have stopped trying to show off. I was about to speak, but Bai Lu took two more bites and said, "It's delicious."

I was stunned for a moment. No one has ever told me that the food I cook is delicious.

"It's delicious, and if I'm not mistaken, I, Song Bailu, should be the first one among the three of us to eat the noodles you made, right?" Bailu asked.

I nodded, but then I thought that it was because I didn't want to ruin Yunwen's taste buds, otherwise I would have made it for her or everyone else.

She was smiling, but tears were streaming down her face. She was really moved by me.

She said she was full, so I took the bowl away, tied her hands again, and let her go to sleep. When I was about to go downstairs, she said, "Brother Zhou Bo, I heard you said you wanted to bring all the goats here. Goats shed a lot of hair, and you can collect some of it and make a spinning machine to spin it into wool yarn, which will keep you warm in winter. And since Yingchun doesn't want to leave my body, she understands the principles of many machines. If you don't understand something, you can come and ask her. Maybe she can give you a suitable answer."

I was stunned and slapped my thigh. Why didn’t I think of this?

Since the old woman in Bai Lu's body is proficient in the operation of the robot, it means that she should have some understanding of mechanical principles. I heard Ling Shang say that she used to be a member of the scientific expedition team, so this profession must be somewhat relevant. In this case, why not make the best use of it? When we make some special instruments, we can ask about it, isn't that just right?

It is said that misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune. It seems to be the case. It seems to be a bad thing, but from another perspective, it is a good thing.

"Okay, I'll come and ask for your advice if necessary. You should have a good rest," I said.

She nodded.

When I went downstairs, it was already daybreak. I went back downstairs and saw Yunwen eating the noodles I made. I couldn't help feeling embarrassed, but she smiled at me and praised the noodles highly, which surprised me very much.

Yunwen and I shared the remaining portion. I took a bite myself and thought, wow, it was an exceptional performance.

I also mentioned the textile machine to Yunwen, and she said that if a blacksmith shop was needed, they would fully cooperate and make all the necessary parts.
