Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 165 Sharing Food
Zhao Gang brought out a plate of stir-fried assorted mutant animal meat, four roasted bird eggs, and a bowl of tomato soup and placed them on the square box in the pavilion.

Zhao Xiaoxiu followed behind to help, holding a pile of bowls and chopsticks in her arms. Monkey Sister took them skillfully, one set for Yang Mei and her son, one set for the assistant, one set for the cub, and one set for herself.

The three guests usually eat fast food, and Yang Mei and her assistant couldn't remember the last time they had freshly cooked dishes.

Youyou was better off. The guards around him often took him to the small streets and alleys to find food. Although he couldn't eat delicious food often, he had tasted various roasted mutant animal meats or mutant vegetable soups.

but!

None of them smell as good as the ones Zhao Gang served!
A plate of stir-fried assorted mutant meat, which included not only the mutant weasel meat that Monkey Sister had just obtained, but also various low-level mutant animals brought back by the soldiers of the road construction security team a few days ago.

Zhao Xiaoxiu gave all the soldiers' portions, and fed the unpalatable parts to the fish.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had prepared Zhao Gang's portion, divided it into small pieces and asked Sister Hou to help put them in the refrigerator to freeze them. Whenever she wanted to eat, she could just take out a piece and cook.

In addition to meat, there are also fresh and tender edible wild vegetables, which can be kept fresh in the refrigerator and eaten whenever you want.

The wild vegetables and meat are stir-fried together, and then Zhao Gang makes a delicious sauce that blends perfectly with the vegetables and meat, creating a delicious look, aroma and flavor.

The method of roasting bird eggs is very simple, but good ingredients do not require complicated processing. Roast the tender bird eggs, crack the top shell and drip two drops of sauce into them to enhance the flavor.

Evolved tomato and bird egg soup, Zhao Gang has been making it every day during this period. The taste can be described in one word: amazing!

The sun was hanging in the middle, it was exactly twelve o'clock, which was exactly time for lunch according to the ancient human habits.

Zhao Xiaoxiu took out three bottles of yogurt, one for herself, one for Youyou, and one for Sister Hou.

"Eat." Zhao Gang said.

Yang Mei looked at the empty table in front of Zhao Gang in confusion, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Zhao Gang took out a piece of chocolate, smiled at his daughter, raised his head and looked at Yang Mei who was sitting opposite him, and said, "I'm going to eat this today."

Yang Mei didn't think much about it. Seeing that Zhao Xiaoxiu had already started using her chopsticks, she and her assistant picked up their chopsticks and each picked up a piece of the assorted fried meat.

To be honest, 95% of mutated animals and plants are not very delicious. Even if they are mutated animals that have been confirmed to be delicious, some may taste delicious while others may taste unpalatable.

Even Yang Mei, a biology expert, cannot distinguish delicious ingredients with 100% accuracy.

With a skeptical attitude, Yang Mei and her assistant put the food into their mouths and chewed it slowly.

For a long while, neither of them showed any surprise or shock on their faces, but their cheeks moved faster and faster, and they began to put the food into their mouths with chopsticks one by one.

"Mom, is it delicious or not?" Youyou took the tomato and egg soup that Monkey Sister served him, licked his lips, and looked torn as if he was dizzy with the fragrance but dared not eat it.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister had already buried their heads in their bowls, eating noisily.

If they hadn't remembered that there were other guests at the table, the monkey and the kid would have eaten all three dishes on the table.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoxiu was so busy eating that she had forgotten to introduce her father’s top-notch cooking skills to her friends.

Youyou looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu who had her face buried in the bowl, then looked at his mother and assistant sister who didn't say anything but never stopped eating with their chopsticks. He became anxious and couldn't bear it any longer. Anyway, if Xiaoxiu could eat it, he could eat it too!

Pick up the soup bowl and take a big sip of the fresh soup. The sweet and sour taste of the evolved tomatoes and the smooth and fragrant bird eggs are mixed together to form an incomparable wonderful taste.

Youyou’s eyes widened. It tastes so good!

Youyou drank half the bowl in one breath and took a deep breath of satisfaction. He didn't know if it was because it was too hot or what, but tears were flashing in his eyes.

With a slightly resentful look, he glanced at Yang Mei, who was only concerned with eating, and whispered:
"Mom, you have never made such delicious soup for me."

Yang Mei paused and looked down at her son. Seeing his pitiful appearance, she felt guilty. She quickly blew a bird egg to cool it and handed it to him to fill his aggrieved mouth. "Is the soup delicious?" she asked.

Youyou nodded honestly.

"Give mom a sip." Yangmei took the remaining half bowl of tomato and egg soup from her son and tasted it with satisfaction.

Youyou stood up, looked at the empty soup bowl, then looked at the second full bowl of soup filled by Zhao Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister, feeling eager and helpless.

Fortunately, his friend suddenly remembered him, and Zhao Xiaoxiu generously gave him half.

The assistant didn't get a single drop of soup, so he could only regretfully hold up a bird egg and slowly suck it from the broken hole.

A mouthful of tender and smooth egg liquid was sucked into the mouth, hot and smooth, and flowed down the throat.

The assistant looked up at Yang Mei in amazement and asked her to try it quickly, as it was the most delicious food she had ever eaten!

Yang Mei picked up one and took a sip. When she tasted the silky smooth roasted bird egg, her eyes became moist and red.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father looked at each other and thought that they were indeed mother and son, as their reactions were the same.

After a silent lunch, Yang Mei and her son still felt a little unsatisfied. Yang Mei was an adult and couldn't say anything, so Youyou approached Zhao Gang without hesitation and asked him:

"Uncle Zhao, can I come to your house for dinner in the future? I'll ask my mother to prepare the ingredients and bring them over, and I'll give you points."

Zhao Gang said indifferently: "Ask Xiaoxiu."

Youyou immediately turned around and stared at Zhao Xiaoxiu with expectant eyes.

Zhao Xiaoxiu said: "You can't come every day, but you can come occasionally. Daddy works hard to cook every day."

Youyou hurriedly said that he only came five times a week, but when Zhao Xiaoxiu frowned, he quickly changed his words and said, "Three times a week, okay?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled and nodded. She was quite generous to her friends and three meals a week was not too much.

"But remember to bring your own ingredients." Zhao Xiaoxiu reminded.

Yang Mei agreed on behalf of her son, and felt embarrassed about today's meal, so she wanted to give Zhao Gang points as meal money.

Zhao Gang didn't take it, and stood up to remind him: "You should leave."

If possible, Yang Mei wanted to live directly at Zhao Xiaoxiu's house and observe her closely.

But the host ordered them to leave, and since she was a respectable person, she took her son who refused to leave and stood up to say goodbye.

"Xiaoxiu, can I come and play with you tomorrow?" Youyou asked loudly, leaning on the car window.

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded: "Of course."

The two agreed to meet at noon tomorrow and waved goodbye.

After watching Yang Mei and her group go away, Zhao Xiaoxiu stood at the entrance for a long time.

She was wondering what was written in the report that Assistant Yang Mei showed to Mo Shigui.

"It's the monitoring report of the Emerald Flower."

Zhao Gang came up behind him at some point and said, "The activity of the SHASI virus in Cuizhuhua is decreasing day by day."

This shows that the virus in the mutated green pearl flower that was watered with blood by Zhao Xiaoxiu was effectively suppressed.
