Chapter 135 A Sudden Cold

night.

Jiang You sent her a message, reminding her: "Ningning, the weather has been changing recently, be careful to dress warmly and don't catch a cold."

Because of the brain-boosting pills, the subsequent sale of corn, and any problems that arose at the experimental base, Jiang You was in charge of handling everything.

Therefore, the two of them also contacted each other quite frequently in private.

Jian Ning accepted the other person's concern and replied, "You too."

The wind howled outside the window, making the trees outside rustle and roar like an eerie howl.

After she finished dinner, she washed a plate of strawberries.

Xiaobai and several other cats loved to eat it, so she fed them some.

She tried a few herself and found the flavor to be even richer than the ones she had at the exhibition. They were also incredibly fragrant with strawberry and very sweet.

Different strawberry varieties do not taste exactly the same.

They're both strawberry flavored, but you can taste a very obvious difference after just one bite.

Some strawberries have a delicate texture and a rich aroma. Some are juicy and tender with a subtle milky flavor. Others are sweet, crisp, and flavorful with a hint of honey.

Jian Ning regretted ordering too few strawberry seedlings.

Fortunately, strawberry cultivation is not difficult. Next summer, the strawberry will grow runners. Fix the runners to the soil, and they will take root in a few days. Cut the connecting 'umbilical cord', and you will have a new strawberry seedling.

This cultivation method is much more convenient than using strawberry seeds.

Jian Ning finished the plate of strawberries, took the empty plate back to the kitchen, rinsed it with water, and placed it on the drain rack.

Little White jumped from the ground onto the platform, sniffing the bottle of fermented bean curd with all its might. Then it glanced at Jian Ning, tentatively stretched out its little paws, and pushed the bottle away.

Jian Ning shot him a glare: "What are you doing!"

Little White awkwardly retracted its paw and licked it: "Meow~" I didn't do anything.

Jian Ning took a water glass from the cup rack, intending to make herself a cup of honey water, when she turned her head and saw the jar of fermented bean curd being pushed to the side of the table by the evil little claws.

Jian Ning reacted quickly, catching the bottle of fermented bean curd and placing it safely.

How should I train a kitten that likes to deliberately push things from high places?

Just like a mother cat biting her kitten's neck, Jian Ning grabbed Xiao Bai by the neck and slapped its bottom twice.

"You naughty little white cat, you broke one of my cups last time, and now you're messing with the fermented bean curd I painstakingly made." Jian Ning listed its crimes, tossed it into its cat bed, and lightly tapped its defiant forehead: "All the canned food for the next week is off."

"Meow~" Master, you are so cruel!

Jian Ning turned away cruelly, ignoring it completely. She returned to the kitchen, looked at the two jars of fermented bean curd, and after thinking for a moment, decided to put them in the refrigerator.

There was still space on the side of the refrigerator.

Jian Ning placed the two jars of fermented bean curd on the side of the refrigerator and then closed the refrigerator door.

I looked up and saw the system suddenly pop up.

[Progress of producing ten portions of the Thousand-Year Snowy Plateau Roe Deer with Mucor: 2/10]

Eh? What's going on?
What did she just do?

Jian Ning recalled for a moment.

She just put the two jars of fermented tofu she made into the refrigerator.

Does this work too?
A thousand-year-old snow-covered plateau with mold and roe deer = fermented bean curd in the refrigerator?

Jian Ning admitted that she had overestimated the tasks issued by the system.

The system instructed her to start by learning the basics of pill making. As someone with basic pill-making skills, she naturally assumed it would be proper pill refining.

Who would have thought that the task issued by the system would be so ridiculously simple?

But how can fermented tofu be related to elixirs? You can't say that the mold on tofu is due to fungal growth, and that the essence of elixirs is also based on fungi.
Upon closer reflection, Jian Ning realized she had gone mad.

How could she expect a cultivation system bound to her, who hadn't transmigrated to the cultivation world, to diligently and stubbornly operate by exploiting bugs? What kind of scientific logic could it possibly have?

In short, if the system says it's a thousand-year-old snow-covered roe deer, then it is!
Jian Ning's task is to make eight more servings of fermented bean curd.

trivial.

She worked through the night to make soy milk, tofu, and drain the water, then waited for the tofu to grow mold in a few days.

During the days she waited for the tofu to grow mold, Jian Ning sent Zhang Nan several messages, but received no reply.

She called Zhang Nan's agent to ask about it.

"Hello, this is Jian Ning. I wanted to ask you something..." But before she could finish speaking, the phone was hung up.

Jian Ning herself knew that she was undefeated in tearing others apart and was dubbed the 'Queen of Yin and Yang' by netizens.

People in the entertainment industry are now avoiding her.

What's more, Nan Nan's agent is a close friend of that scoundrel Gu Yan.

Jian Ning made several calls, but Zhang Nan didn't answer.

She messaged Long Wu to ask, and Long Wu said she didn't know either.

She remembered Zhang Nan sharing with her that the lead actress in this drama was a popular young actress.

She could only try her luck and sent a private message to the female lead of the show.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Nan's friend. I haven't been able to contact her lately. Do you know anything about her?"

Most popular celebrities don't check their private messages.

But Jian Ning was probably lucky; she received a reply from the other party that evening.

“I remember her. She caught a cold a few days ago, and the crew gave her the day off. There’s a lot of flu going around lately, and many people on the crew are coughing, so I’m resting too.”

Jian Ning glanced at the name of the top female celebrity—Yu Yu—remembered it, and replied, "Thank you."

At the same time, the term "flu" has frequently appeared on the trending searches of major platforms.

Recently, the weather in most parts of the country has suddenly changed and the temperature has dropped, leading to an outbreak of colds, and many people have caught a cold.

Moreover, this cold came on very suddenly.

Most people experience similar symptoms: first a cough, then a fever, a sore throat that feels like swallowing razor blades, and possibly diarrhea.

Many adults with strong immune systems get infected, let alone children with relatively weak immune systems.

The way the cold developed was just strange.

Some people even died because of this sudden cold.

Not only in China, but even overseas IPs are posting for help: What medicine is effective for a family member with a cold?

Various opinions and comments arose online.

Some say this is a real-life version of a population purge.

Someone shared a comment from their family: "This cold virus is obviously caused by foreigners."

Experts recommend wearing masks when going out to prevent the spread of cold viruses.

Jian Ning lives alone in the mountain villa with her cats and dogs, somewhat isolated from the world.

She only realized how serious her cold was after reading these messages online.

Jian Ning was very worried.

Nan Nan never ignores her messages.

She anxiously sent Zhang Nan another message, saying she was going to the film set to find her, and started packing her luggage.

As the weather turned cold, Jian Ning packed two sets of relatively warm clothes into her suitcase, along with a toiletries bag, a phone charging cable, and her ID card—all essential items.

After packing her luggage, her phone, which was lying next to her, rang with a new WeChat message notification.

Thank goodness, Nan Nan finally replied to her message.

Zhang Nan: "I'm not on set, I've gone back to Beicheng. I'm not feeling well and don't want to look at my phone, so don't worry about me."

Jian Ning replied, "Then I'll come to your house to find you."

Zhang Nan: "I'm not home."

Jian Ning: "Then where are you?"

It took Zhang Nan a long time to reply.

"Ningning, I've caught a cold. It's a really bad cold all over the country, and it might infect you. Stay here at the resort and take good care of yourself, okay?"

Actually, it's not just this one message that's slow; every message Nan Nan replies to is slower than before.

Nan Nan is such an impatient person; when she's chatting, she always types with a rapid-fire, jumping-up motion. This wouldn't be her like this.

Jian Ning knows Nan Nan too well. To the extent that she can guess what Nan Nan ate for her previous meal even if Nan Nan just farts.

Nan Nan must be feeling very unwell to be like this!
She can't ignore it.
