Chapter 158 Thanks to you
"What kind of food is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Is it cooked? I'm so hungry that I can't take it anymore. When I smell this fragrance again..."

"Grumble!"

……

Six people gathered around a large pot, and the pot next to it contained more than half of the pot of unknown dishes that were emitting green aromas, and their mouths were drooling just by looking at them.

Syracuse has historically been short on fruit and vegetables.

The so-called vegetables are actually the weeds and various leaves that the predecessors have tasted and can be swallowed. There is not a 01:30 difference between the vegetables that have been cultivated for many years and have excellent taste and texture.

White water bubbles overflowed from under the lid of the pot, and the aroma made the six of them feel even more hungry.

The lame old man is the oldest, about sixty years old.

His son was a spiritual warrior, who died while out exploring a few years ago; his daughter died of a cold within half a year after getting married, and his wife was hit hard and fell ill in the same year.

There are no full-time medical practitioners in Syracuse, and it is difficult to deal with most diseases under difficult conditions only relying on the diagnosis and treatment methods explored by the residents themselves.

Therefore, once people in Syracuse get sick, they can only lie down at home, or rely on their own immunity to resist it; or die completely.

The old cripple broke his leg when he was young, and then lost his son and daughter and his wife, so life was naturally more difficult.

Qiao Lei's parents and his son are very close comrades-in-arms. After his death, he took over the work of taking care of the two elderly people. After Qiao Lei's parents died in the exploration, he took over the responsibility of his parents and often took care of the lame old man. leg.

The two poor people hugged each other like grandparents for comfort.

Teacher Wu is in her 30s this year, and she is a very gentle female teacher.

She used to be an excellent melee fighter, but she was severely injured in an accident while on a mission.Afterwards, he lost his spiritual martial arts skills, and the next best thing was to work as a teacher in the city.

After her mother passed away the year before last, she has been living alone.

Many people have introduced partners to Teacher Wu, but she has never been tempted.Regardless of other people's comments, I have never been able to confide in anyone.

She and Qiao Lei's mother are best friends, and she often took care of Qiao Lei like a mother after his death.

After going through the hard dark days of losing his parents, Little Stone is the only good friend left.He is two years older than Qiao Lei and has lived in an orphanage since childhood, but he is much more optimistic than his peers.

Thanks to him, Qiao Lei was able to come out of the darkness earlier.

As for Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, let alone, they are old neighbors for many years and have never had children of their own.So he took care of Qiao Lei, who grew up watching him, like his own child, especially when his parents often went out to explore when he was young, he lived with Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang.

Seeing the flames jumping and shining on the familiar faces of these people, Qiao Lei felt a sense of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

Living in such a difficult environment in Syracuse, everyone is doing their best to survive.

The climate is severe and the conditions are difficult. The average life expectancy of ordinary people living in this city is not high. Even the spirit warriors will be geniuses unless they wake up, and their life expectancy will naturally increase by several decades than others, but that still needs to be explored. Just be lucky enough not to get hurt.

Otherwise, once the injury is serious and there is a lack of medical means and medicinal materials, even the most powerful spirit warrior will be disabled or die.

Just like the crisis in Syracuse now.

There is a shortage of food, and the cold winter is difficult. If the food cannot keep up, many people will not be able to survive this abyss.

Qiao Lei smelled the smell of gurgling rice, and felt that he could finally bring hope and food to the people he cared about, and it was not in vain for them to care and love him so much.

"I think it should be cooked." Aunt Wang was a little uncertain, after all, it was the first time cooking unfamiliar ingredients.

Even if the recipe indicated how much rice, how much water and how long to cook, she was not sure.

"Why don't you cook it a little longer." The old lame swallowed and tremblingly said, "If it's not cooked through, you'll get a stomachache if you eat it."

In Syracuse, it is easy to die if you have a stomachache after eating something you don't deal with.

Smacking his lips, he was so hungry that Qiao Lei couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pot, "I'll try it for you first!"

As soon as the lid is lifted, the aroma of rice comes out completely!
The white mist immediately made the mouth water after being hungry for two days.

The rice grains absorb the water and become plump and crystal clear, fragrant and white and glutinous. Just looking at it can make people have a strong appetite.

Qiao Lei hurriedly took the wooden shovel and scratched the rice into the wooden bowl, then didn't dislike the hotness, and stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth!

"Phew! Hiss...so hot!"

It was so hot that he sucked in the cool air, and he was not willing to spit out the rice. It took a while for the rice to cool down before he chewed it, and nodded like a chicken eating rice, "It's cooked! It's delicious, especially delicious ! Try it quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd who couldn't wait for a long time took chopsticks and wooden spatulas, gathered around the cauldron and hurriedly scraped rice into their own bowls.

Add a spoonful of green vegetables per person and stir well.

The fragrant vegetable juice soaks the rice grains, and the aroma of vegetables and rice is mixed together, which makes people appetite!

"Suck it!"

"Ahhhh!"

"Well, it's delicious!"

……

For a while, there was no other movement in the room except for the sound of eating and chewing.

"Being hungry for two days, don't eat too much for the first meal, or you will easily get sick. Besides, this is a food that we are not familiar with, so we need to give our stomachs time to adapt." After eating a bowl of rice, Teacher Wu reminded others People who are still stuffing rice into their stomachs, "No matter how hungry you are, you have to eat slowly, or you will suffer from indigestion!"

Uncle Wang had already swallowed two large bowls of rice. Hearing what she said, he stopped quickly and wanted to pick the chopsticks for the rice. With the last mouthful of rice in his mouth, he mumbled: "Oh, I ate too much Hurry up, I don't know what it tastes like after chewing a few times..."

"Disgraceful!" Aunt Wang rolled his eyes at him, "Those rice and noodles are enough for us to eat for a few days, so why worry! If you really have a stomachache, be careful about your life!"

Everyone stopped their chopsticks when they were full.

The smell of rice filled the room and lingered for a long time.

"This food is really delicious!" The old cripple leaned against the fireplace, and the burning firewood made beeping sounds, warming him up, "Thanks to Xiaolei, when he went to call me, I still I was thinking that this time I was going to live to the end. I was really hungry, and I was so hungry that I was in a trance."

Xiao Shitou, who ignored the strengths of his speech from the beginning to the end, breathed a sigh of relief, "I feel like I'm really alive now! I'm really hungry these two days without food! Xiao Lei, I'm really thanks to you!"

"Xiao Lei didn't just bring back food, he just dragged our lives back!"

"Good boy, thanks to you..."

……

After eating and drinking enough to rest for a while, everyone's faces were bloody, and they were no longer sallow from hunger before.He also gained the confidence to speak, and Qiao Lei's face flushed with praise from you to me.

The old lame eyes were slightly blurred, and his tone became longer, "Although the city lord has uncovered a lot of corrupt officials and seized a lot of food, it is still not enough! The food in the warehouse has been taken by several elders' mansions over the years. It's too bad to squander too much.

I don't know how many people can survive this dark period. "
