Chapter 1785: Adding a Dish for Sister Qing

~10 min read 1,813 words

"Welcome Sister Qing's triumphant return! What delicious food is Brother Jin making for Sister Qing tonight? Do I need to come over to help?"

Tang Huai's cheerful voice came from the intercom, calling back Yang Jin and Xia Qing's minds.

Xia Qing took the rag and went into the house to wash in the first-floor bathroom. Yang Jin by the door leaned back on the wheelchair backrest, and the Adam's apple illuminated by the light slid up and down.

Xia Qing and Yang Jin didn't speak. Wen Lord Wen Nengjie came online to smooth things over, "Sister Qing just got back, she might be washing up, Brother Jin should be cooking in the kitchen and can't hear the sound. What time did Brother Huai get back? What are you eating tonight?"

"I just got back from the south gate, we're eating stir-fried leeks with eggs and tiger-skin hairy tofu tonight." Tang Huai answered Wen Lord Wen Nengjie's question first, and then asked happily, "What is everyone eating tonight?"

Wen Lord Wen Nengjie replied, "I'm drinking porridge and eating corn vegetable buns." It sounded simple, but they were all green-light quality.

Wen Lord Wen Nengjie didn't say the second half of the sentence. A food shortage had appeared in the safe zone, and showing off eating natural food of green-light quality here was just asking for trouble. His combat power wasn't high, his weapons and equipment weren't enough, so living a good life quietly was better than anything.

Shi Du came online, "What a coincidence, we're also eating vegetable buns tonight. Brother Zhao Jie, what kind of wild vegetables are you eating? We're eating shepherd's purse."

Wen Lord Wen Nengjie replied, "We ate shepherd's purse the day before yesterday, today we're eating broom corn, and the buns steamed with a little salt are delicious and filling. Brother Huai, is the hairy tofu something you just brought back from the safe zone? I haven't seen it for more than ten years, I don't even remember what hairy tofu looks like."

Tang Huai responded happily, "Ah Heng likes this, so I brought a few jin more when I came back. I'll try the vegetable buns tomorrow too."

Zhang San came online, "Tang Heng, is the hairy tofu green-light quality?"

Everyone...

Tang Heng took the intercom from his brother's hand, pressed it, his voice gentle, "It's made by our restaurant's central kitchen using green-light soybeans, strictly following the fermentation process and hygiene standards. How much does Brother San want?"

Zhang San replied in a good mood, "One jin, I'll have Zheng Chen go over to pick it up now."

"Alright." Tang Heng agreed, "I'll also take some of other green-light foods. Brother San, just let Brother Zheng come over to pick up whichever you like to eat."

Inside the No. 11 territory, Wu Wu Chengyu discussed with his wife with a smile, "Hairy tofu really hasn't been eaten for many years, shall we exchange for some too?"

Shi Shi Youning nodded and directly pressed the intercom button, "Brother Huai, Brother Heng, can I exchange for half a jin of hairy tofu?"

Tang Huai brought a few jin back from the safe zone, which was for his younger brother Tang Heng to eat. Shi Shi Youning exchanging for half a jin was to taste the flavor. If it was delicious, she would exchange more with the Tang family. When their territory could plant crops in the second half of the year, they could also plant some soybeans to make it themselves.

Tang Huai came online immediately, "Yes, Sister Six, please wait a moment, I'll send it to you immediately."

And stop by to see Huanhuan and Lele, whom I haven't seen for a long time!

Yang Jin also came online, "Tang Huai, I'll exchange for one jin of hairy tofu. We're eating hot pot tonight, I'll have Eryong go over to pick it up."

Xia Qing just got back after being out for nearly 24 hours and needed to rest. Yang Jin had limited mobility and still had to prepare hot pot dipping sauce, so he decided to let the speed evolver in his squad make a trip.

Tang Huai was immediately excited, "Eryong is on Mountain No. 49, right? It's too much trouble for him to run back and forth, I'll drive and send the hairy tofu, green-light sweet potato vermicelli, and green-light fish balls to Brother Jin immediately!"

Eating hot pot, of course, is only lively enough when there are many people. Tang Huai wanted to hear Xia Qing talk about how she showed off her power in the depths of the evolutionary forest this time, and also wanted to tell Xia Qing how their family took down Huang Huang Wanmao.

Yang Jin, who was eating at Xia Qing's house for the first time, of course didn't want a noisy lightbulb at the table, so he gently refused, "Eryong has already set off. I want all three things you mentioned. Xia Qing is tired and needs to rest early tonight. After we get through this busy period, I'll prepare plenty of ingredients and invite everyone over to have a lively time."

Tang Huai agreed happily, "Alright, I'll go prepare the ingredients."

Xia Qing washed up thoroughly in the second-floor bathroom, changed into comfortable home clothes, came down from upstairs with a colorful face, first turned on the TV to play a video so the two melons wouldn't be so nervous, and then walked to the kitchen door. Seeing Yang Jin standing on one leg in the kitchen, preparing the hot pot dipping sauce, she asked, "You say, I do?"

"No need, it'll be ready soon." Yang Jin poured cold oil into the hot pot, stirred-fried star anise, cinnamon, peppercorns, and ginger slices in the oil until fragrant, and actually poured half a bowl of vinegar into it.

The cold vinegar entering the hot oil made a "sizzling" sound. After the vinegar boiled, he added some soy sauce and a little white sugar, and turned off the heat.

This was the first time Xia Qing had seen this method of making seasoning, "Stir-frying vinegar?"

"Yeah, passing through hot oil can remove the astringency in the vinegar." Yang Jin pointed to the shelf next to him, "Sister Qing, the colander."

Xia Qing took down the colander and walked over. She didn't let the injured Yang Jin carry the pot, raised her hand to stir-fry the pot, filtered the stir-fried vinegar with the colander, and poured it into a bowl.

Seeing that she was still using the same bowl that held the raw vinegar just now, Yang Jin smiled, picked up the vinegar bowl and handed it to Xia Qing, "Sister Qing, taste it. If you're not used to eating it, keep it as seasoning for sour soup dumplings."

Yang Jin was smiling so happily, was it because Brother Luo and Sister Yan sent back good news from the ruins continent? Xia Qing took the vinegar bowl, picked up the bowl of freshly fried chili oil next to the pot, and turned to walk toward the living room dining table.

Yang Jin sat back in the wheelchair, followed Xia Qing, smiled and greeted Sheep Boss, who was squinting and looking at him on the tatami, and looked at Xia Qing, "I just exchanged for hairy tofu, vermicelli, and fish balls from the No. 12 territory, can I have them delivered to the yard by drone?"

Xia Qing nodded, "Yes."

In the intercom, Tang Huai's cheerful voice came, "Sister Qing, I've handed the hot pot ingredients to Eryong."

With this tone of Tang Huai's, Xia Qing didn't need to ask to know that the Tang family had already taken care of Huang Huang Wanmao. She pressed the intercom button, "Alright, many thanks."

Hearing Xia Qing come online, Tang Huai immediately shouted, "Alliance Leader, you're welcome. You worked hard to snipe the intruders to protect the safety of our territories, this is a little bit of my younger brother's heart. Sister Qing and Brother Jin, eat slowly, if it's not enough, tell your little brother."

Xin Yu came online, "Xia Qing, I'll have the owl send two bags of shrimp paste over, it'll be in your yard in two minutes."

"Xin Yu, have the owl come over, send two dragon fruits to Xia Qing." Zhang San also came online.

Xia Qing trekked through the northern evolutionary forest and brought back more than 30 biological samples for him. If it weren't for the limited load-bearing capacity of the eagle owl, Zhang San would have really liked to send a box of fruit to Xia Qing.

After Xia Qing came online to thank him, Kuang Kuang Qingwei also came online, "Sister Qing, you've worked hard. Xin Yu, when the owl comes over to pick up the fruit, can you send a jar of green-light sesame paste here to Sister Qing and Brother Jin together?"

Qi Fu also came online, "I cut a handful of green-light garland chrysanthemum, Xia Qing didn't plant this vegetable. Xin Yu, can you have the owl send it over together?"

Twenty minutes later, the shrimp paste from the No. 8 territory, the hairy tofu, fish balls, and vermicelli from the No. 12 territory, the dragon fruit from the No. 7 territory, the sesame paste from the No. 6 territory, the garland chrysanthemum from the No. 5 territory, and the hand-rolled green bean noodles from the No. 10 territory were all placed on the dining table in Xia Qing's living room.

It wasn't that the other allies didn't want to add dishes for Xia Qing, it was really that what they had in their sheds, Xia Qing had, so they didn't have food they could take out. The hand-rolled green bean noodles from the No. 10 territory were made by Mother Shi after hearing that Xia Qing wanted to eat hot pot.

The allies' heart, the vegetables in Xia Qing's shed, plus the green-light beef and green-light chicken chunks Yang Jin had sent over from the No. 1 territory, filled the table, the soup base in the iron basin rolled with water splashes, emitting fragrance, making one's appetite increase greatly.

Yang Jin scooped the shabu-shabu beef slices into the small dish in front of Xia Qing, and Xia Qing, who had long been starving, buried her head in eating.

On the small table next to them, Sheep Boss was burying its head to eat the dragon fruit skin and green vegetables in its food basin, the two melons in the tree nest and the blue-faced little monkey outside the yard all got fresh dragon fruit and were happily gnawing on them.

Before the two had eaten half of the vegetables and meat on the table, the northern wolf king and its partner leaped over the fence worth 250,000 and landed steadily in the No. 3 territory. ===== CHAPTER 1786 =====
