Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Chapter 189 Affecting the Taste of Soup

If you just add water, it may affect the taste of the soup, so Yu Xiaowei chose to use a bag of milk when heating it. This not only ensures that the taste of the curry is not diluted, but also does not become too thick and cause gelatinization at the bottom. After heating, the curry retains a slight milky aroma, further enhancing the overall flavor.

The chicken inside has been cooked for a long time, and the unique and rich aroma of the curry penetrates into the chicken, making the taste of the chicken itself richer and stronger.

Everyone sat around the table, including Peng Lebin. Whether it was because of the arrival of dinner time or because of Peng Leqing's persuasion, he ate more often, as if he was no longer silent inside.

If it weren't for the fact that she could redeem points for cooking recently, Yu Xiaowei would have been worried about how to make a living. But now she not only needs to accumulate more points to pay for her living expenses, but also owes the system thousands of points for some reason.

However, with only a few people's meals every day, it is difficult to achieve a sufficient accumulation goal in the short term. She knows that she needs to think of a smarter way to make up for this shortcoming, and there are deeper reasons that drive her unwillingness to stay at home for a long time to cook for someone, especially someone who is a bit annoying.

Although Mr. Peng was amiable and it was understandable that he became friends with his uncle, Mr. Zhang, Yu Xiaowei felt quite uncomfortable with Peng San, the last child in the family. He was not bad in character, but sometimes he seemed too long-winded. He was often overconfident and seemed to think that everyone who met him would be attracted to him. This narcissistic behavior often made her feel irritated.

For such a person, no matter whether the other party takes the initiative to get close to him or not, he will always find a reason, or be ignored when his core is not touched, or be resentful once criticized. She really felt bored. Therefore, she decided to ignore the food outside and just sit aside.

"Xiaowei, what happened? Why didn't you come out and say the meal was ready?" Shang Yun walked in and found that Yu Xiaowei was not busy preparing the dishes, but just squatting beside the stove waiting, so he asked. Yu Xiaowei had not come to the table before, and it seemed that he was not busy at this time.

"Brother Shang Yun, have you eaten a little too much? By the way, I have this question." Yu Xiaowei asked after seeing Shang Yun.

"Are you worried about Peng Lebin?" Before asking, he threw out a possibility: "Is it because of this kid?"

"Oh, Brother Shangyun, I don't understand if you have misunderstood something."

Although Shang Yun asked gently, his protective attitude was obvious. Moreover, he took care of Yu Xiaowei like a younger sister and treated her with great care.

After hearing Yu Xiaowei's affirmative answer, he nodded in agreement: "Then I will talk to your brother Peng directly and let him understand the problem. We should just separate and don't have to keep entangled with each other. We are not forced to act with them."

Yu Xiaowei agreed with this and decided to go find Mr. Peng himself, hoping to solve the problem.

Things will always get better

Although the conflict between them has already formed a certain situation, they are all members of the same family. Yu Xiaowei believes that frank communication can usually resolve most conflicts. The current situation is obviously that Peng Leqing is trying to force the two sides to get back together, as if he wants to maintain the connection between the two.

"Brother Peng, I actually think what Xiaowei said makes sense. What's more, your Peng family has such a large clan relying on your brother, but there are only a few of us. We don't face too much risk every time we go out on an adventure. Our strength is indeed enough for daily life, but what about your huge clan?"

Shang Yun, who was standing aside, always kept a kind smile on his face and spoke to him.

"This..." Peng Leqing also discovered this problem recently. However, Yu Xiaowei's cooking was so delicious that he never raised it.

However, it is just as Shang Yun said, their current daily harvest cannot support the living needs of their large family.

Now they still rely on stockpiled supplies to survive. When they were at home before, they collected a lot of food, clothing and daily necessities, but these are consumables. Now the output is far more than the input, and sooner or later there will be a day when they are exhausted.

The most important thing is that resources are being consumed rather than increased, and it is difficult to produce and create new resources in the short term. Therefore, accumulating materials during this period has become the most important task.

Although they can enjoy the satisfaction brought by the food, the duration of this enjoyment is unknown. After seeing Peng Leqing lost in thought, Yu Xiaowei and Shang Yun did not say more, but waited for him to calm down and think about this matter. In fact, this is also the reason why Yu Xiaowei did not want to drag them along with him, after all, this is also a problem in reality.

** On the side, the two of them waited silently, and Peng Leqing's thoughts were flying. Finally, he made a suggestion, "Okay, we will act on our own from now on. But, Xiaowei, if there is something you can't make or handle improperly, can you help us? Of course, we are willing to pay you, and trade some of the ingredients, okay?"

After all, Peng Leqing couldn't give up the taste of the food that Yu Xiaowei had carefully prepared, so she made such a suggestion. Yu Xiaowei certainly had no objection. This would not only make her food a plus, but also allow her to obtain some raw materials, which was killing two birds with one stone. So she readily accepted Peng Leqing's request.

Walking out of Peng Leqing's room, Yu Xiaowei said to Shang Yun in a relaxed manner: "Brother Yun, thank you for your understanding."

"Why do you say you understand? Will you and I be grateful? Well, let's go eat!" After noticing that Yu Xiaowei's mood had changed, Shang Yun gave words of concern at the right time.

"Well, I'm feeling hungry. We should go back and eat." Yu Xiaowei said with a smile, and then the two of them returned to their residence together.

Here, the problem was finally solved; elsewhere, Zhang Sheng, who was seriously ill, had hot sweat all over his head and his physical strength was gradually declining.

"That won't work. Do you know any hospital nearby? I'll try to find some medicine. It'd be best if it's a small hospital that can treat him." When he saw Zhang Sheng's condition, Ran Zechen decided to take the risk and try the hospital.

"No, Xiaoran, you can't go to the hospital. You should know best what a hospital is like. You can't go. You absolutely can't go!" Nurse Qiu Yuxin, who had once tried to isolate Zhang Sheng from the outside world, said anxiously.

Chapter 239: Life fragments before and after the world

At first, Ran Zechen rushed back to Pingjing City because his father's condition worsened and went to the hospital to take care of him as soon as he entered the house. Because his father's physical condition was very poor, Ran Zechen stayed in the hospital almost all day long and only went home once to change clothes.

However, the hospital suddenly contacted him to inform him that his father's condition had deteriorated rapidly, so he forgot to bring his phone with him. Since then, his father's physical condition has been unstable. In addition, ** is not a strong person, so he has been staying in the hospital to take care of his father and has no chance to go back to get his phone.

Although Yu Xiaowei's warning was still fresh in his memory, he had no choice but to go to the hospital. He did not expect that "not going to the hospital" would have such serious consequences. Before this, in fact, Ran Zechen had received a warning from his teacher, Ma Bosheng, who was also Ma Boran's senior brother and Yu Xiaowei's junior brother. Although Ma Bosheng only knew that something big might happen, he did not know how big it was.

Therefore, just like what he and Ma Boran did, he only reminded Ran Zechen to go out less recently and stocked up enough food supplies in advance. At that time, because he was in the hospital and his father's condition was unknown, and it was inconvenient to go in and out frequently, he stockpiled various foods in advance, but he never foresaw that this would become such a big deal. In the end, unable to bear the pressure in the intensive care unit, his father unfortunately passed away. With his sudden ability, Ran Zechen successfully escaped from the hospital with his mother, and then met the nurse Qiu Yuxin when he returned home.

She performed initial first aid on her mother, which helped to ease the pain. She said that because it was a ** operation, and she thought her mother was old and might need care in her daily life, she took the initiative to ask to leave with her mother and others. Since he had just got the opportunity to save his mother from her, Ran Zechen agreed to let her go with him. Soon after, he met some other people one after another, and finally gathered together to set up a camp in the villa area where they originally lived, and began the task of cleaning up the surrounding environment and searching for edible substances.

Although we have not experienced everything that happened in the past, we all know that other matters can only be discussed if there are sufficient resources to support them; before that, nothing has any substantive value.

Because Ran Zechen's ability is unique, even when he first uses it, he already has a strong destructive power, and his performance in organization is also outstanding. In addition, he is a permanent resident here, so everyone unanimously agreed that he should take the role of captain.

A few days ago, when they were out looking for food, they happened to enter a giant supermarket. They didn't know if it was because someone had passed by here before, so the zombies gathered in one place, so they first cleared the zombie area downstairs. Because there was a food area upstairs, when they walked upstairs, they found a zombie that looked abnormal.

Although the possibility of mutating into a first-level zombie is not high, that one does look extraordinary. When he was about to leave, he found that the figure in the corner seemed a little familiar. It turned out to be Zhang Sheng.
