Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Space Inside
In the middle of the dining table was a large pot of potato stew with beef—the beef had been slaughtered in the Space by Lu Hao with his help a couple of days ago.
At that time, a group of people accustomed to killing zombies didn’t have anyone who dared to slaughter the cattle because it looked so gentle and honest that they couldn’t bear to kill it.
In the end, it was Lu Hao who picked up a kitchen knife and dealt with the cattle with a single stroke, earning a round of applause.
The beef had been stewed to tenderness by Lin Yunguo, with the aroma of various spices wafting around the dining table. Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but pick up a piece of beef, eating while giving a thumbs up.
The tender beef was coated in a layer of almost imperceptible mashed potatoes, paired with fragrant white rice, Lin Xiuyuan felt he could eat three bowls in one go, and there were many other dishes too—fish-flavored eggplant, spicy green beans, pepper pork belly, bitter gourd with tiny fish…
Each dish made everyone help themselves to seconds. Su Jin was particularly fond of the potato beef stew, as she was already a beef lover. Ever since they had slaughtered the cattle, Lin Yunguo had also prepared a lot of braised beef, so she would snatch a piece or two, three or four, from the Space to satisfy her craving. Even Lu Hao had asked her if she wanted them to slaughter another one for her.
Watching Su Jin continuously eating the potato beef stew, Lu Hao picked up a few more pieces of beef and put them in Su Jin’s bowl. Her cheeks were so stuffed that Lu Hao really wanted to go up and pinch them.
“Let’s have a day off at home tomorrow and sort out the things we need to sell in the shop,” Su Jin said while eating.
Speaking of the shop, everyone became interested; Guo Yang had said that it was their team’s shop, and from then on, the shop would be their source of economic sustenance.
“Alright, little sister, do you have a printer there?”
Guo Yang only thought of this in the afternoon while cleaning up the shop.
“I don’t seem to have a printer, but there’s plenty of printing paper, what’s up?” Su Jin asked, puzzled.
“We’re not displaying actual items on the shelves, but we still need to put prices for the various goods, right? It would be good if we could print out the appearance and prices of the items,” Guo Yang suggested.
Not having a printer stumped everyone.
“How about we draw them?”
Su Jin suggested, after all, the supermarkets and stores she collected had all kinds of stationery.
“Does anyone here know how to draw?” Xue Wanyi broke the silence and asked.
At the dining table, Mao Qiqi bravely raised her little hand; her mother had enrolled her in drawing classes before.
So the honorable and arduous task fell on Mao Qiqi’s shoulders, but since everyone was too tired that day, they didn’t think about the drawing anymore. After chatting in the main house for a while after dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
After returning to their room, Su Jin and Lu Hao went into the Space together. They first went to the supermarket behind the Lu Residence to find some stationery, including A4 paper and various colored markers, etc. Su Jin also unexpectedly came across a children’s simple drawing coloring book and thought it might be useful, so she took it out as well.
Just then, a sweet wheaty fragrance filled the air. Su Jin, pulling Lu Hao along, followed the scent, and sure enough, found her grandfather was making delicious food in the back kitchen again.
On a large flat pan, four thin pancakes were being cooked, and the wheat fragrances that wafted earlier came from these pancakes.
“Oh, you’re here, try the thin pancakes your grandfather has made,”
Li Xiuying took out a thin pancake from a basket covered with a white cloth, then tore it in half and handed it to the two.
“Grandma, I want to eat too!”
Lin Xiuyuan bounced into the room from outside; he had smelled the delicious aroma upon entering the space and, like Su Jin, had followed the scent over.
“Eat up, there’s plenty,”
Li Xiuying, smiling happily, gave Lin Xiuyuan another pancake.
Su Jin took a bite of the still-warm pancake, the tenderness and chewiness making her unable to resist another bite. Lu Hao was the same, stuffing the rest of his pancake into his mouth after the first bite.
“Delicious, really delicious. Is this the pancake you’re planning to sell?” Su Jin asked while eating.
“Yes, but these pancakes will probably need you to package them outside,”
Lin Yunguo had only thought of one issue while making pancakes: due to the space’s preservation feature, these pancakes couldn’t cool down inside it; they had to be taken outside to cool before they could be packaged.
“No problem, we have packaging machines outside too, and we happen to be free tomorrow,”
Su Jin planned to have everyone help with packaging these pancakes at home tomorrow morning.
While they were eating, other people also came into the space one after another; they were all too tired today and wanted to rest fully, so resting inside the space was the best choice.
Of course, a pancake for each person was a must. Lin Xiuyuan even asked for a second one, although he had just eaten dinner not long ago, the pancakes were just too tasty.
Huang Yunxiang had wanted to help Lin Yunguo make the pancakes, but was chased out by the elders. According to Su Jin, they had killed over a thousand monsters outside today, which must have been exhausting. There was no need to bother everyone with this task. Besides, the two elders had set up a tablet in the back kitchen to watch TV dramas while making pancakes.
Nie Qing came in, took a pancake and didn’t want to leave, as he was also captivated by the TV drama playing on the tablet.
The tablet was showing the many years old “Kangxi Dynasty”, which Li Xiuying had watched years ago. Back then, she had followed it on television, sometimes missing a couple of episodes due to busyness. These past few days they discovered Lin Xiuyuan had also downloaded this drama, so they began to watch it with great interest once again.
Actually, Lin Xiuyuan was quite thoughtful. He had specifically downloaded many old TV dramas suitable for the elderly on one tablet, and “Kangxi Dynasty” was one of them, perfectly suiting the elders’ tastes.
“My goodness, what kind of divine TV drama is this? The emperor in it is an actual serious emperor?!” Nie Qing exclaimed.
“This is a very famous emperor in the history of Hua Country, who truly existed,” Lin Cheng said while sitting on a small stool, eating and speaking.
“Finally, no more foolish emperors,”
Nie Qing, after watching just briefly, felt that the emperor in the drama was not only young and talented but also brave and strategic, so he also took a small stool and excitedly started watching with the elders.
When Lu Guanhai came in, he saw this scene: a tablet on the stove, with Lin Yunguo making pancakes and watching TV, Nie Qing and Lin Cheng gathered below, and on the right, Li Xiuying collecting pancakes and watching TV. Nie Qing’s eyes were glued to the TV, but his hand was constantly reaching into the basket and stuffing pancakes into his mouth.
“You’re not afraid of choking,”
Lu Guanhai also picked up a thin pancake and began to eat. It was indeed delicious; these pancakes were sure to be a big hit, right?
