“Then why didn’t you come up and help?” Zhang Zhongmin asked nonchalantly.
The young boy’s face became ashen at the thought of those horrid zombies, and he shivered. If those zombies had a complete body with nothing missing then it would’ve been fine, but the most frightening thing was that these zombies had half their bodies chewed away, while their blood continued dripping out of their bodies as they walked.
His face turned blue, as if he was constipated.
Although Zhang Zhongmin had blocked that young boy’s sentence, a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Fu Cao.
It was true that the boy’s words were selfish and mean. However, if he had known that Fu Cao was an ability user, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to ask her to cooperate in killing these zombies, it should not be ‘watch the show’.
Yet, she stood by and watched.
One thing the boy said that wasn’t wrong was that these zombies were indeed attracted by Fu Cao. Although he knew at a glance that Fu Cao had been targeted by the zombies to save the pair but in the end, it was her business. He was there to help her, but not to work on her whim, just so she could stand aside and enjoy it.
When Fu Cao met Zhang Zhongmin’s gaze, a slight smile surfaced on her face, “Thanks for today, captain Zhang.”
She put her backpack down and took out a few spices and stuff while the rest of the food left was handed over to Zhang ZhongminZhongmin, she continued, “This is a thank you gift for being willing to help out.”
At that moment, she blocked the doubt that Zhang Zhongmin had not yet spoken out.
Even though the schools do not lack food right now and can be said to be faring well, he really didn’t have the strength to reject Fu Cao. His skin seemed to have become even darker as he stiffly said,
“Thanks.”
Zhang Zhongmin glanced at Fu Cao several times, but as he thought about the time when the school was almost surrounded by zombies, if it wasn’t for this woman, he was afraid they really couldn’t come up with anything.
“I’ll go ahead if that’s okay.” Fu Cao laughed and left the school with her belongings in her hand.
The boy looked at her light-hearted steps, then turned to look at Zhang Zhongmin with some resentment, yet in the end he dared not say anything anymore and only grumbled in his heart.
In his opinion, it would have been radical for Fu Cao to bring these zombies to the school. Not to mention the fact that she also brought back a woman and a child! It was simply adding another burden to the school.
They already have to go out and find food due to its insufficient quantity but here Fu Cao still brought in more mouths to feed!
This resentment was something Fu Cao wasn’t aware of and neither Zhang Zhongmin.
The two -Chen Ju and her daughter’s- accommodation had already been arranged. Starting tomorrow someone will be in charge of training them, to train from the simplest to the most basic drills.
Even though Lin Xiaoya was still young, the younger one was as malleable as it gets.
It was arranged for the before-apocalypse gym teacher to train Chen Ju and her daughter, because there were only two of them, but the level of training given to mother and daughter was not the same. After all, Chen Ju was an adult while Lin Xiaoya was still a child.
Just as they got settled and she faced the harsh reality of training. It left Chen Ju no time for nonsensical thoughts.
Fu Cao opened the door and returned to the exclusive hotel. It’s a pity she couldn’t get her hands on the crystal core Zhang Zhongmin had. However, when she saw Zhang Zhongmin’s skeptical gaze at that time, Fu Cao became vigilant and naturally didn’t dare to hit the crystal core for attention.
She took out a piece of fatty and lean pork from the kitchen, which would’ve sold particularly well in the old days, before opening the recipe and cutting it into squares according to procedure.
Because of the system’s powers, the squares she cut out were very standard, almost every single one of them were equally cut and did not miss a single cent.
She filled an iron pot with water and turned on the liquefied gas to boil it.
She hadn’t gotten a gas subsidy before, knowing that after the end, it would obviously stop, so there was no point in buying it. Thus, she had prepared the liquefied gas not only in the hotel, but also in the space.
When the water in the iron pot came to a boil, Fu Cao blanched the pork for a few minutes and then took it out to clean it with cool water.
After washing the casserole again, she took out fresh shallots from the space and cut them into long pieces according to the recipe; along with a slice of sun-dried ginger, she put them at the bottom of the casserole.
Once the pan was ready, she put the panko meat side down in the casserole with scallion and ginger.
Then she added wine, soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar and salt in strict accordance with the recipe. Lastly, she put the lid on and brought it to a boil over high flame before turning off the flame and simmering slowly.
Time passed slowly, it was as if a minute turned into hours yet Fu Cao tirelessly continued staring at the small burning fire until she heard a sound coming from inside the casserole.
It wasn’t until an hour and a half that she turned off the flame and took the panko out of the casserole. This time the colour of the meat was bright orange and looked very pretty.
But Fu Cao still took out a small stew pot, placed the meat of the five flowers, sliced them thinly and placed the meat side up, then poured the soup from the casserole into the stew, covered it with a lid and steamed through water.
This time, instead of using a low flame, she steamed it directly over a high flame for a full twenty minutes.
Since the time was almost up, Fu Cao took the veggies out of the space and set it on a plate with boiling water; she placed the five florets of meat neatly on top of the veggies, and poured the soup on it.
After the presentation was done, Fu Cao looked at the pictures in the book and then at the finished product that she made. Fu Cao felt a great sense of achievement flooding in her heart, it was clear the one she had made was much better looking.
Not to mention anything else, the meat she cut out of the five flavoured meat was absolutely perfect. The vegetables were also very eye-catching, since they grew
in the space, they were especially in good condition and lush.
Fu Cao also carefully selected the vegetables of similar size and weight.
She watched the steaming Dongpo meat come out of the pot and her mouth watered. Fu Cao felt a little greedy but she knew that her own favorite food from before was now off limits to her.
She heaved a sigh of regret, and suddenly a voice came from the doorway.
Fu Cao opened the door and peered at the person outside. She smiled abruptly, “Captain Zhang, why did you come over?”
It was getting late, although it was agreed they’ll leave the day after tomorrow. Today, however, the food in the cafeteria was at the end of its life.
Zhang Zhongmin took out a few pieces of crystal nuclei that he had gotten today and wiped them clean with a cloth, the layer of black that was originally wrapped around it was wiped off, revealing the shiny white texture of the nuclei.
“How much grain do you have left in here? For these crystal nuclei, how much will you exchange?” The zombies that followed her today only looked like □□□. Zhang Zhongmin always had nine crystal nuclei on hand in case he needed it for something.
Anyways, since the crystal nucleus was of no use to them, he came over here to exchange them for some food.
Fu Cao laughed happily as she looked at the crystals.
Zhang Zhongmin’s nostrils flared, the rich aroma was teasing him so much that his saliva was about to fall out. His heart secretly scolded Fu Cao for this luxurious spending, he still had some grudge in his heart for what happened when he was in front of the school earlier.
But now that he thinks about it, it was said that Water ability users can’t be considered a Combat-type ability, the uncomfortable lump in the heart disappeared.
Fu Cao naturally saw Zhang Zhongmin’s conspicuous movements, but she also had no idea on exactly how what she made tasted.
After all, she had never cooked a meal before.
Turning around, she walked inside and brought out a plate of Dongpo meat: “Captain Zhang, have a taste of this Dongpo meat.”
Fu Cao grinned, if not for her inability to eat, she would have tasted it herself long ago. Still, it was a fun experience to cook for the first time, she thought.
Suddenly there was a look of anticipation in her eyes, she was craving for the satisfaction to watch someone else eat what she made.
Zhang Zhongmin unconsciously swallowed, his adam’s apple rolled slightly. His eyes were fixated uncontrollably on the brightly colored and very appetizing Dongpo meat.
With the vegetables on the bottom of the plate, the contrast between the two made it even more appetising. Not to mention the rich aroma of freshly baked Dongpo meat, which was heavenly.
However, he fidgeted, “No, you might as well switch me to something else.”
Fu Cao blinked her eyes and looked at the East Slope meat in his hands, that was actually being disliked! Damn, although she doesn’t know how the meat tastes, she could tell there was no chance for it to sell cheap.
Doubtingly, she glanced at Zhang Zhongmin, but met his sight and was stuck to the plate of the East Slope meat.
After thinking about thinking about it, Fu Cao understood, and suddenly placed the Dongpo meat on the table: “Captain Zhang, eat it, it’s considered an extra gift from me!”
A pair of chopsticks was also thoughtfully placed near the plate.
There wasn’t much meat on the plate since Fu Cao only used four large meat squares. Since all the time has been spent eating rations only meant for nutrition and now this sudden change to gluttony……. Zhang Zhongmin only felt his saliva dropping.
When he heard Fu Cao’s words about giving it away, he looked at Fu Cao with some hesitation, “It’s not good, I don’t want to take advantage of you.”
“…… “Fu Cao narrowed her eyes, and she suddenly thought, “What a good and upright person!? He’s actually a dead brain, a block of wood, right?
“It’s getting hotter, standing outside for too long in short sleeves, your skin might just peel from the sunlight.” Fu Cao squinted her eyes and said, “How about I give you a few dozen long-sleeved spring clothes after you eat this plate of Dongpo meat?”
“……” Zhang Zhongmin looked at Fu Cao suspiciously before looking at the very tempting Dongpo meat. He felt even more afraid to eat it now!
Why didn’t she eat it herself if there was no problem? Why force him to eat it!
“Thanks, I guess I’m not too fond of the greasy stuff.” Although Zhang Zhongmin couldn’t figure out what was wrong with this Dongpo meat, he still didn’t dare to eat it.
He knew that the crystal nucleus was of great use to the ability users, and had already planned to give it to Lu Xuan before. But due the food shortage in the school, he had to exchange it at Fu Cao’s place.
The food of the end times is already precious, so who would give you a benefit just to get you a bite to eat? If the other person isn’t stupid, then something is definitely wrong.
Zhang Zhongmin looked at the Dongpo meat, resolutely not eating it. Looking at his expression, Fu Cao was somewhat distraught, coldly, she carried five boxes of pickled noodles and a couple of loaves of bread and threw them over.
Back then, Qiu Ying Ying had privately approached Zhang Zhongmin after Lu Xun’s extraordinary powers were exposed and confessed about her water-type extraordinary powers.
Fu Cao, who had been observing what was happening in the school, of course knew it, hence, she didn’t take out the mineral water to give them. Although they were no longer short of water supply, thanks to the additional supply of water from Qiu Ying Ying, it was still barely enough.
The only thing left to take care of was food.
“Thank you, Miss Fu.” Zhang Zhongmin glanced upstairs.
“You’re welcome, it’s just a deal anyway.” The corners of Fu Cao’s mouth twitched as she made an ugly face. Not at all happy about Zhang Zhongmin’s rejection of the dish she had so hard to make.
The point was that she would’ve given him all the dozens of spring outfits as soon as he ate the food.
Zhang Zhongmin was no fool, the weather was getting weirder day by day. Now the difference between day and night was extreme as nights were getting freezing cold while during the day it would be burning, meanwhile, standing under the sun for a little longer made the skin feel so hot that it’s almost unbearable.
It almost felt as if someone had put you inside a furnace, trying to cook you. His intuition was telling him that this might just be the beginning.
After Zhang Zhongmin left, she found that the power was already out, thus she went in to charge her phone. The moment she was done, her mind became even more distraught. Directly teleporting the hot, steaming East Slope meat into the space because once inside the space it will never get spoiled while still being oven hot
Fu Cao took out a piece of crystal core and gnawed on it. The expression on Fu Cao’s face was not like usual. On the contrary, it was somewhat fierce, as if what she was gnawing was not the crystal core in her palm, but Zhang Zhongmin.
After Zhang Zhongmin returned with the food, he asked Lu Xuan to come over.
Then he handed over the food to Xiao Bin and the others to divide, half a bag of pickled noodles for one person and half a loaf of bread for what was not enough.
He pulled Lu Xuan out alone to talk, Lu Xuan who was a bit puzzled asked, “Instructor, what is it?”
“En, you and Fu Cao look more familiar, so I want to ask you about something.” Zhang Zhongmin’s face was stony.
The author has something to say: Today’s post is up, thank you for your support.
Bamboo is a double-edited text, so it keeps the day shift. It’s difficult to add more words NA, I hope the little cute door has more understanding.
