Chapter 136: Washing Rice

Lin Chen was busy in the kitchen. After washing the rice and putting it in the pot, he searched for ingredients from the infinite space.

The system suddenly prompted: 【Detected that the host and Xia Nuan have recovered, can supplement high-calorie, high-nutrition food. Have prepared yogurt, spicy fish, chocolate, chicken popcorn, and chicken nuggets for the host, stored on the first layer of the storage grid】 Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, opened the storage grid, and indeed saw several well-packaged foods. A wave of warmth rose in his heart—the system could always provide help when needed.

He first unpacked the spicy fish and placed it on a plate, then poured the chicken popcorn and chicken nuggets into a baking tray,

and heated them with the portable oven found earlier. The yogurt was boxed and could be drunk directly,

and the chocolate was placed on a small plate nearby. Soon, the oven made a "ding" sound, and the fragrance of chicken popcorn and chicken nuggets drifted out, mixed with the spicy smell of the spicy fish, and the whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

Lin Chen carried the tray out of the kitchen and placed it on the table in the living room: "It's ready to eat; there's the yogurt you like, and snacks given by the system." Xia Nuan walked over, saw the food on the table, and her eyes brightened: "I didn't expect there to be so much good food. I've been eating compressed biscuits all this time and almost forgot these tastes." She picked up a box of yogurt, tore it open, inserted a straw, and drank it in small sips. The cold taste with sweetness made her couldn't help but squint her eyes.

Lin Chen picked up a piece of chicken popcorn and put it in his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a faint salty taste, and the taste was no different from before the apocalypse. "Things given by the system are just different; they taste better than what I roasted before." He said with a smile, then picked up a piece of chicken nugget, bit into it, and it was crispy, carrying the fragrance of chicken. Xia Nuan also picked up a piece of chicken nugget, tasted it, and nodded: "It's indeed delicious. I hope we can find such ingredients in the future."

The two ate for a while. Xia Nuan picked up a piece of spicy fish, and after just one bite, she gasped from the spiciness: "So spicy! But it's really satisfying!

" She hurriedly took a sip of yogurt to relieve the spiciness, but couldn't help picking up a second piece. Lin Chen looked at her appearance and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't choke; there's plenty, take more if it's not enough." Xia Nuan nodded, but didn't slow down. The spicy taste stimulated her taste buds, reminding her of the days of eating spicy food with friends before the apocalypse.

The chocolate was placed nearby. Xia Nuan picked up a piece, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth,

the rich cocoa flavor spreading in her mouth, sweet but not greasy. "I haven't eaten chocolate for a long time," she looked at Lin Chen and handed him a piece, "You eat a piece too, to replenish some energy." Lin Chen took the chocolate and put it in his mouth. The sweetness quickly dispelled the fatigue left by the battle earlier, and his heart also became warm.

The two chatted while eating. Xia Nuan talked about the interesting things about organizing supplies in the villa earlier,

while Lin Chen talked about the experience of finding a secret compartment in the warehouse in North City, occasionally mentioning the various help given by the system.

The food on the table gradually decreased, several boxes of yogurt were drunk, the spicy fish was almost finished, and the packaging bags for chicken popcorn and chicken nuggets were all empty.

Xia Nuan touched her stomach and said contentedly: "I'm so full,

I haven't had such a satisfying meal in a long time." Lin Chen tidied up the empty packaging on the table and said with a smile: "If the system gives ingredients again in the future, we'll eat together again.

Next time we can try making the pickled pepper fish head you mentioned before, and go fishing in that river again." Xia Nuan's eyes brightened: "Okay! When the weather gets warmer, we'll go fishing, and I'll make explosive fish head for you again. This time it will definitely taste better than last time."

Lin Chen nodded, put the empty packaging into a garbage bag, and prepared to dispose of it outside the villa.

He walked to the door, looked back at Xia Nuan sitting on the sofa, his heart full of stability. Having experienced so many dangers, fortunately, both of them were fine and could still eat and chat together like this. Such days, even in the apocalypse, were precious enough. He pushed open the door, the sunlight outside was just right, there was no wind or snow, only faint warmth, as if adding a touch of tenderness to this peaceful moment. ===== CHAPTER 137 =====
