Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 226: So Hungry That I Could Eat Vegetable Leaves

Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't have any idea at first, but her curiosity was aroused by Peter Pan's retelling. Just as she was about to agree, Zhao Gang glanced at her indifferently.

"It's raining and it's dangerous outside." Zhao Gang didn't let them go. It was wet outside and the cubs would easily get sick.

Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled at his father, rejected Peter Pan's invitation, and let it go by itself.

With Peter Pan as a "spy", he can also bring back first-hand information from the outside world to her.

She should just listen to her father and wait comfortably at home.

Peter Pan didn't feel sad about not being accompanied by Zhao Xiaoxiu. He went out happily alone the next day.

It loves rain so much. The bigger it is, the better. The bigger it is, the less likely humans will notice it, and no other mutants will care about it.

And now it is completely different from before. There is no need to worry that it will turn into a consciousnessless berserk monster after getting caught in the rain.

But not all mutant animals are as lucky as it is. Peter Pan loves his current little master to death.

So it was very active in bringing back the latest news it saw outside and telling her, running back and forth three times a day, and it wished it had a phone installed on its body so it could tell her the latest news on the spot.

Unfortunately, fish don't have five fingers. Not even one.

Through the glass window, it saw Sister Monkey eating melon seeds and pressing the remote control, and for the first time in its life, a look of envy appeared in its small fish eyes.

Sometimes when the rain is light, I know that the people on the mountain run down the mountain to find a place to take shelter from the rain. They fight every day, so Peter Pan stops going out. Let the bullets fly for a while.

It would float outside the window of the second-floor balcony, with one eye tilted to the side, curiously watching the picture playing on the thin black square frame in the room.

So, a fish couldn't help but start thinking, why the cat named Tom caught the mouse named Jerry but didn't eat it.

Heavy rain fell for four consecutive days, and mutant plants began to grow again in the isolation zones of the planting areas.

Even when training soldiers, they did not dare to set out rashly in such heavy rain. They could only remind the lords to be more careful and protect themselves and the crops in the fields.

The lords near the forest encountered some minor troubles, but overall it was okay. Everyone was well prepared, and the lords were strong on average. The situation in Area B was much better than in the other two planting areas.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter have stayed indoors since it started raining. Every day they just take a walk in their yard, and the farthest they go is to the plantation next door to see if the vegetables in the field are growing well.

The nourishment from the rain is like a tonic pill to the mutant plants. All the mutant vegetables planted in April have grown out, looking so green that people can't help but drool.

Zhao Xiaoxiu wanted to eat vegetables, even a simple bowl of shredded vegetable salad would do.

The low-level mutant cabbages in the vegetable garden under the flower wall, whose leaves were swaying wildly in the rain, were planted in February and are now big enough to be eaten.

Zhao Xiaoxiu endured the whole night, waiting for their leaves to grow as tall as a person. When the leaves were fully unfolded, she did not hesitate, raised her knife, and cut one with a "click" and took it home.

The mutated cabbage, which had not yet reacted, swung its green and white crisp leaves wildly, hitting Zhao Xiaoxiu's face and body, slapping her.

But this little bit of force is just like a tickle to the cub, which is full of strength and has excellent self-healing ability, and poses no threat at all.

The fresh aroma of the leaves hit her face and came in through the tip of her nose, making Zhao Xiaoxiu tremble with greed. She opened her mouth wide and couldn't help but take a bite.

When the monkey sister took the crazy cabbage from the cub's arms, she saw its bulging cheeks, chewing hard, and its eyes narrowed, looking very intoxicated.

"Squeak?" Sister Monkey was confused. Is it so fragrant?

It couldn't help but pull off a leaf to fan itself, and put it into its mouth in a big gulp. Because of the intoxicated look of a certain cub, its expectations were very high.

Unexpectedly, a bitter taste that was not strong but could not be ignored quickly spread along the tip of the tongue in the mouth. Sister Monkey was so angry that she spat out "Puh, Puh, Puh" and stepped back with an ugly face. The cabbage thrown on the ground swung its leaves wildly, and soon swept the kitchen floor shiny.

Zhao Gang rushed over from the tool shed and first saw the pitiful appearance of his own cub chewing on vegetable leaves. He rubbed her little head lovingly, then bent down, picked up a leaf as big as a banana, and threw the whole cabbage onto the chopping board with a "bang".

He swept his sharp eyes across the wall of knives and selected the sharpest one.

"Would you like to have a salad with tomatoes and shredded cabbage? Or a stew of potatoes, bacon and cabbage?" Zhao Gang gave two choices.

The old father's eyes were full of distress. The cub was so hungry that she even ate lettuce leaves. He had to make something delicious for her quickly.

The monkey sister had not forgotten the bitter taste and kept waving her hands, telling her cubs not to eat it and to throw it away because it was too disgusting.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stamped her feet firmly, "It's fresh and crispy, and has a sweet aftertaste. A little bitterness is nothing, it's delicious!"

I turned to my father and asked, "Can I have both?"

"Of course." Zhao Gang smiled with relief. He liked the good appetite of his cub.

"Wait a minute, Dad. It will be done soon." After Zhao Gang gave his instructions, he raised his knife and with a few strokes, the swinging cabbages were immediately neatly arranged.

Tear off the pieces you used to sweep the floor outside, break off the rest and wash them clean in water. After filtering the water, rinse them quickly in hot water first.

Suddenly, the leaves that had been jumping around stopped moving and allowed people to cut them as they pleased on the chopping board.

The rich aroma of stewed potatoes and meat soon filled the entire kitchen. Even the Meng brothers next door were startled by the aroma and came over wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas to watch the fun.

Put the washed and shredded fresh vegetable leaves into the pot and serve them out in two minutes.

A pot of potato, bacon and cabbage stew is ready.

Salads should be eaten fresh and must be mixed freshly. Mix the shredded vegetables and chopped tomatoes together, add a little sugar and tomato sauce, and stir.

"Brother Gangzi, are you having lunch?" Meng Er, wearing a black raincoat, poked his head out from the back door of the woodshed. His wretched expression made him look like a killer on a rainy day.

Meng Da stood outside the door awkwardly, with only half of his face showing. He was embarrassed, but reluctant to leave.

Zhao Gang had known they were coming, and he was quite tolerant towards the cubs' guards.

Moreover, the size of this mutant cabbage was particularly large, and the vegetable was also taken care of by Grandma Meng, so he didn't mind sharing some salad with them.

"Come in." Zhao Gang took two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. Zhao Xiaoxiu swallowed secretly while helping to divide the two dishes among the two brothers of the Meng family.

The two brothers took off their raincoats and sat on the table, rubbing their hands and smiling awkwardly.

When the potato and bacon stew and fresh vegetable salad were placed in front of them, the brothers' eyes widened.

This is what people eat!
Zhao Gang just opened his mouth and said, "Eat."

Zhao Xiaoxiu and the Meng brothers immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

For at least the first ten minutes, the kitchen was so quiet that there was no sound of human voices except for the sound of chewing.

"It's so delicious!" Ten minutes later, Meng Er slammed the table and yelled, almost crying with excitement.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter: "."

The little kid outside the window was coveting, his sleeves were wet from biting, he wanted to eat too, woo woo woo~
