Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

Chen An's room.

"The last dish will be ready soon, please wait a little longer."

Bai Mengjie said.

She made another stir-fried vegetable dish.

Otherwise, eating meat all the time will get boring.

"Teacher Bai, don't worry, we'll wait for you."

Chu Lexiao smiled and stood obediently beside Bai Mengjie, waiting for her to finish so they could go out together.

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao."

Bai Mengjie looked at her tenderly.

If it weren't for the fact that her hands were a bit oily.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Otherwise, I really want to pat her head.

"Our Xiaoxiao has always been very well-behaved."

A minute later, several dishes with a wok hei (wok aroma) were placed on the table, steaming hot.

The cumin powder and chili powder on the beef skewers released an enticing aroma as the steam rose, making their eyes water.

"Wow, this smells amazing!"

Huo Ling'er exclaimed in delight.

She was always helping out in the kitchen; whoever needed her, she would lend a hand.

She felt hungry from that moment on.

Now that she saw the finished product, she was even hungrier.

Chen An looked at the food on the table, then took out the Australian lobster he had left over from the morning, along with other food.

"This is practically a deluxe meal! Others would be so envious they'd shed tears of envy."

Bai Lu came out of the kitchen, chuckling as she sat down on Chen An's side.

Then, she raised her hands and waved them in front of Jiang Lai, saying, "Big sister, I washed my hands this time, so you can't say I'm lazy anymore."

Jiang Lai gave a light snort, and said with a hint of arrogance, "Keep it up next time."

It's a good thing that she's starting to pay attention to these little details.

It's not like others have to keep reminding her every time.

I'm not a child anymore, of course I have to remember it myself.

"Let's dig in!"

The egret happily rubbed its hands together, then picked up a small bowl and ladled out soup.

While serving, he said, "Luckily, we have plenty of bowls and chopsticks in the house, otherwise we would have to take turns eating with so many people."

Bai Lu ladled out a bowl of beef soup, but instead of drinking it herself, she placed it in front of Chen An.

"The first bowl should definitely be for my husband! If it weren't for his talent, how could we possibly enjoy fresh beef?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er suddenly looked up and stared at Bai Lu in disbelief.

I couldn't help but think to myself: No wonder she's Bailu, she's so good at it! Although she says blush-inducing things every day, her actions are impeccable.

After feeling Huo Ling'er's envious gaze, Bai Lu raised her head and gave her a raised eyebrow.

"You all keep learning; there's still so much to learn!"

Her tone was flippant and smug.

After all, she and Chen An had been intimate the most, and she was his right-hand woman.

The egret felt perfectly content with its smugness.

"Yes! We'll study hard!"

Huo Ling'er nodded repeatedly.

She knew that, living in this room, gaining Chen An's approval was the most important thing.

Bai Lu was one of Chen An's more favored residents.

Therefore, learning from her how to please Chen An will definitely be effective.

Jiang Lai snorted in response, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

"They really are a pair, one willing to teach and the other willing to learn. Can you really master her seductive tricks?"

She couldn't even imagine how strange it would be if all the residents in the house used the same method.

Bai Mengjie quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Everyone should just focus on doing their jobs well. Chen An won't ask for too much."

After all, as long as they demonstrate their worth, he won't be too harsh on them.

And he has always had a good temper.

He might get angry just because someone acted too recklessly.

"Hmph~ I'm not chatting with you guys anymore, I'm going to have a delicious meal!"

The egret immediately ate a large bite of beef.

She chewed slowly, then frowned slightly: "Hmm? Why does this beef taste a bit ordinary?"

Jiang Lai, who was just complaining about egrets, took a bite of beef.

The next second, he nodded in agreement.

"I also don't think the taste is that amazing."

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she felt that this way of expressing herself was also not right.

Therefore, further explanation was provided.

"I don't mean it's bad, it's just average. It's not nearly as good as the roast chicken you get from your special talent, and it's not even as good as the Australian lobster from the gift pack."

Amazing and delicious are two different things.

Bai Mengjie tasted it carefully, her eyes filled with doubt.

"We have all the seasonings we need, and we've followed all the basic cooking steps, so why doesn't the taste just seem amazing? It's so strange. Is it true that my cooking skills are still lacking?"

She was responsible for preparing most of the dishes on the table.

If it doesn't taste good, then it's probably a problem with her cooking skills.

"Teacher Bai, it might not be your fault. Perhaps what we made was just not as good as the finished product."

Jiang Lai said directly, "If we hadn't eaten roast chicken or Australian lobster before, this fresh beef would definitely have amazed us! It's just a pity that such a masterpiece came before us."

She didn't think it was Bai Mengjie's cooking skills that were the problem.

That's just how these foods are.

"So, you mean even though we're in the apocalypse, my palate has become quite discerning?"

The egret's eyes shone brightly, and the corners of its beak turned up.

Then she grabbed Chen An's arm and rubbed against it.

"Honey, thank goodness I have you. Even in the apocalypse, I can still live a good life without worrying about food and clothing."

"Let's eat, but don't get any more oil on me."

Chen An pressed his fingers against Bai Lu's forehead and pushed her aside.

"White egret, you've been rejected again."

Jiang Lai looked at the egret and said with a smile.

It would be good if egrets could continue to be so carefree.

In this way, no one can shake her position.

She was initially worried that Bailu might seduce Chen An into favoring her.

But she was overthinking it after all.

What he wanted were residents who could be of use from beginning to end.

"No, that's not it! My husband just doesn't want me to touch him because he thinks it'll be tiring for me to wash his clothes!"

The egret raised its chin proudly.

The main idea is to "only say what you want to hear".

"Hmph, your idea is quite presumptuous."

"Hehehe."

Alice listened to their conversation and, after understanding what they meant, expressed her confusion in broken Chinese.

"What? This isn't delicious? None of the high-end steaks we've ever had are as good as this."

Evelyn doesn't speak much Chinese, so she can only communicate with Alice.

Alice relayed the message from the egrets to Evelyn in their language.

"What?"

Evelyn almost instantly uttered her shock.

Since arriving in this bizarre world, she hasn't even had a hot meal.

They actually thought these delicacies weren't that delicious?

This is absolutely incredible!

"If this isn't delicious, then what is?"

She exclaimed in shock in English.

Huo Ling'er smiled after hearing her words.

Then she placed pieces of shredded roast chicken into Alice's and Evelyn's bowls.

At the same time, he said fluently in English, "That's because you haven't eaten anything better. Try this roast chicken before you draw any conclusions?"
