An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen, and Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately left Xiwa behind, leading her friends eagerly into the kitchen.
As soon as I entered, I saw Zhao Gang using a large strainer to scoop out a bunch of golden, fragrant potato strips from the oil pan.
The three gluttons exclaimed "Wow!" and their eyes lit up as they swarmed around it.
Youyou is a very polite child. Since his owner didn't serve him any, he was too embarrassed to take it directly and just stood behind and watched longingly.
Monkey Sister was also a little afraid of Zhao Gang, and only dared to get close and sniff him with her nose, while anxiously scratching her body with her two paws.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was different. She wasn't afraid of getting burned by the oil. She stood on tiptoe, grabbed a handful, and brought it to Youyou and Sister Hou. She gave each of them a portion and eagerly put one into their mouths.
Two seconds later, the kitchen was filled with the children's satisfied exclamations.
"Uncle Zhao, your French fries are so delicious! They're much better than the instant noodles my mom makes," Youyou praised earnestly.
Zhao Gang smiled at him, dodging his cub's outstretched little paw, "Don't rush, sit down first."
“Okay.” Zhao Xiaoxiu wasn’t disappointed. She immediately pulled Youyou to sit down at the table and swung her little feet expectantly.
Soon, Zhao Gang brought over a full basket of French fries and placed it on the table. He then filled two small bowls with tomato sauce, one for Zhao Xiaoxiu and one for Youyou.
Sister Monkey shouted: "Where's mine? Where's mine?!"
Zhao Gang didn't want to pay attention to it. Zhao Xiaoxiu, being the monkey she was meant to pamper, quickly slid down to the refrigerator to get some tomato sauce for it.
Midway through, she didn't forget to grab two long, fragrant fries, dip them in sweet and sour ketchup, eat one herself, and stuff one into her big mouth, her eyes squinting with satisfaction, "So delicious, so delicious~"
Finally receiving her share of sauce, Sister Monkey was immediately satisfied. She pouted her monkey mouth and gave Zhao Xiaoxiu a big kiss.
"Ouch~" Zhao Xiaoxiu wiped the drool off her face in disgust and quickly wiped it on the fur on Monkey Sister's back.
The monkey didn't care about such small details. It grabbed a handful of fries and put them into the bowl of tomato sauce, then grabbed a handful of fries with sauce with one paw, stuffing its cheeks bulging out, completely disregarding its image.
Youyou was initially a little anxious because she felt she hadn't followed her mother's instructions to chew slowly and eat neatly today.
Turning my head to look at Sister Monkey, he was just so elegant!
"Uncle Zhao," Youyou said to Zhao Gang while eating, "Your French fries are so delicious! Next time I'll bring my own potatoes, could you fry some for us again?"
Zhao Gang was unusually generous, "Okay."
Youyou grinned at Zhao Xiaoxiu, "Your dad agreed!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu proudly puffed out her chest, "My dad has always been very generous."
A smile instantly appeared in Zhao Gang's eyes.
All the potato strips were fried into French fries. Xiwa brought in the prepared mutated blackback fish, and Zhao Gang took it from him. While the oil was hot enough, he put the fish in to fry first.
The sizzling sound came from the pot. Xiwa sniffed it and smelled the delicious aroma. This was the kind of food that humans should eat!
Zhao Gang told him to bring in the barbecue grill from the doorway. The charcoal had already been put into the stove to burn. Now, take out the fried fish, scoop the burning firewood and charcoal from the stove into the grill, and carry it to the front yard.
I seasoned it simply with salt and chili powder, then took it with the fish and started grilling it.
Zhao Xiaoxiu ate a lot of French fries and her stomach was full. It was the first time in her life that the child had eaten such delicious starchy food, and she couldn't control her mouth at all.
So when everyone shared the grilled fish, she could only eat a small half of it, and the rest was given to the little girl who was busy running around.
However, I did get to try the spicy grilled fish, and I was quite satisfied.
Xiwa held the fragrant grilled fish and a small bowl of French fries that Zhao Xiaoxiu had specially given him. He ate a bite of fish and a bite of French fries, and it was so delicious that he almost cried.
He thought he would spend his life in a world without delicious food, but he never expected to be able to taste the flavors of his childhood in his lifetime.
Sure enough, currying favor with the young aunt was the most effective method.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Xiwa took advantage of the last rays of the setting sun to go to the pond and finally mustered up the courage to try to communicate 'customer needs' with the giant floating fish in the water.
He needs to get that automatic showerhead that his little aunt wanted as soon as possible so he can eat a few more meals of such delicious food.
In the courtyard, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and finished their chores together, they sat in the pavilion to digest their food.
The beeping of a loudspeaker came from the doorway, startling Youyou, who had been watching cartoons upstairs with Zhao Xiaoxiu and had forgotten about going home. Youyou got up and ran to the balcony to look out.
Two guards were riding on the back of Harry, the centipede that had evolved from a hundred legs, and waving at him.
"Xiaoxiu..." Youyou reluctantly drew out the last syllable, but knew that struggling was useless. She sighed and waved her hand, "I'm going back now, bye-bye."
Zhao Xiaoxiu was amused by his sour face, picked up the remote to pause the game, and came over to comfort him, saying, "My family is planting vegetables tomorrow, why don't you join us?"
"Let's go, I'll see you out."
"Okay." Youyou was still reluctant and followed Zhao Xiaoxiu downstairs with a downcast expression.
"Dad, I'll take Youyou out," Zhao Xiaoxiu said to the pavilion.
Youyou politely said, "Goodbye, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Meng, Second Uncle Meng, Grandma Meng."
The adults nodded and continued their conversation. The territory was perfectly safe; there was nothing to worry about.
Zhao Xiaoxiu handed Youyou to the two guards at the door, then skipped back. Monkey Sister had somehow canceled the pause, and they had already watched a long episode of the cartoon.
Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately put her hands on her hips angrily and yelled, "Sister Monkey!"
Monkey Sister bared her teeth at her, trying to see who was fiercer.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was defeated, but the child and the monkey quickly reconciled—they decided to watch a new movie together that none of them had seen before.
And Monkey Sister promised to watch that movie with her again next time.
Both were very satisfied and snuggled on the sofa watching TV until ten o'clock before Zhao Gang stopped them.
Once the door was closed, the tentacles freely crawled out, picked up the furry cub, gave it a bath, changed its clothes, and then threw it onto the bed.
The next day, the two families spent the whole day planting all the vegetables they wanted to grow.
Next, the sweet potato seedlings were planted, and the reserved acre of land was just enough to fill it.
The soil in this territory had not been planted for more than ten years, so it was very fertile. In addition, the evolved sweet potato itself was very resilient. The sweet potato cuttings only drooped overnight, but the next day they all perked up and took root.
The potatoes have been harvested, the sweet potatoes have been planted, and the vegetables have been sown. Now, only that one acre of colorful rapeseed fields remains.
The weather has been sunny lately, and the mutated rapeseed flowers in the fields have fully bloomed under the bright sun.
The mutated rapeseed flowers in full bloom consist of three colors: pink, white, and yellow. Based on this, various gradient flowers of white-pink, yellow-pink, and yellow-pink-white are produced.
From a distance, it looks like a romantic spring oil painting.
Of course, the way the insects frantically release sweet floral scents at night to lure mutated flying insects and then viciously hunt them is also quite eerie.
