Chapter 78 Pasta
The sundries in the utility room were moved outside one by one, and they found some strange things in a lot of boxes, such as, knives and forks, soap, coal...
Xiang En knew very well that when a mouse appeared in the house, it meant that there was already a nest in the dark!
After nearly emptying out the entire utility room, they found a total of seventeen mice in the dark!
After finding these mice, Xiang En was so happy that he almost jumped up. Everyone in Naka was also eager to see through them. These mice are a little smaller, but they are still meat!
But Xiang En put these mice in a box and they were not allowed to eat them.
These mice are big and small, and they squeak non-stop after being caught. They are weak, pitiful and helpless.
Bacterial viruses on mice are not a problem at all in Xiang En's eyes. This world is not a modern metropolis, and there are not so many dirty things. Besides, as long as they are cooked, they can be eaten.
After two or three generations, it will be safer to eat with clean bread!
"Riding boots, these mice are entrusted to you. You will make a few cages later, and you will be responsible for feeding and drinking them every day. Separate the males and females. It will be up to you whether they can eat meat in the future!"
After watching the mice happily, Xiang En handed over the work of feeding the mice to Riding Boots. As a hunter, his other knowledge may be a bit poor, but he still knows animals very well.
With a steady supply of bread, I believe that the mice will definitely develop in the direction they are optimistic about.
Keep warm and think about it, let's build seventeen mice in a cage!
Ma Ji and others finally understood Xiang En's intention of catching alive, they all swallowed their saliva, patted their chests and promised to take good care of these mice.
After catching the mice, several people moved the sundries that had been moved outside back into the utility room, and made careful planning, dividing the utility room into six rooms, which could accommodate six people.
After the mouse-hunting operation came to an end, what should everyone do?
Xiang En returned to the bedroom and started pulling noodles again, and Andrea also lay on the bed and read novels again.
At night, Xiang En set up an iron pot in the cell to boil water. After the noodles were cooked, he took them out and divided them into eight portions. Except for Xiang En's own portion, the rest were basically put in basins.
The excess noodle soup was poured into another basin, and then Xiang En took out the animal oil that was now extremely precious.
Seeing that there was milky white grease the size of a ping pong ball left in the small pot, Xiang Enyi gritted his teeth, dug a third of it and threw it into the pot.
The villagers in the small town left a lot of dried meat, but most of the dried meat had been taken away by Dunier and Haus Nuoer, leaving only a dozen catties in the basement.
Not too much, but not too little either.
Xiang En had already boiled the jerky with water in advance, so it was time to scoop it up, crush it, throw it into the oil pan and fry it for a while, then add the water for soaking the jerky and coarse salt.
After heating, pour the scarce soup water in the pot into eight pots.
The poor-looking ramen made Xiang En very moved, and he regained the satisfaction of cooking.
It's hard to cook without rice, and under the current conditions, it's not bad to be able to make noodles!
The strong smell has already attracted the people in the basement. Maji and Naka followed the smell and came to the cell. Seeing the eight large pots of noodles on the ground, the gluttons in their stomachs have already been aroused.
People who are extremely hungry eat delicious food, and people who are used to eating coarse grains will also be attracted to different foods.
"Each of you will have a share of the rest, don't waste the soup next to it, drink it all."
Xiang En wiped his hands on a clean cloth, picked up a basin of small ones, and a basin of meaty ones, and went straight to the bedroom, and shared the rest with others.
The six Machi cheered, and they couldn't wait to get started, wanting to pick a big one.
"snort!"
Naka brandished an iron fist, and from the perspective of strength, she reasoned with the other five people. The five were subdued and put one-third of the minced meat in their own basin into Naka's basin.
"The fist is so big..." Markey and Duncan were very unbalanced, and they huddled in the corner with the basin in their hands, muttering, with tears in their eyes.
He was obviously the boss they recognized first, why would you do this!
The two dared to think about it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to sue them, because this is a world where fists are big and truth is big.
...
Xiang En pushed open the bedroom door, and Andrea was still concentrating on reading the novel at this moment, and even the fragrance wafting in the air failed to attract her attention.
After Xiang En put the basin on the table, he reached out and took the novel in Andrea's hand.
"Why are you so absorbed in reading?" After snatching the novel, Xiang En looked at the first line on the tree, and subconsciously read: "The cold rainwater slides down the beautiful moon body bestowed by the heavens. Every time the raindrops touch, it will make my body feel strange, just like the youthful first love...???"
"Wow!"
Hearing Xiang Enlang read the explicit words in the novel, Andrea blushed with shame, and immediately snatched the novel back into her arms, her body warming up rapidly.
Facing Xiang En who was full of weirdness, he wanted to speak, but he could only falter and hew and didn't know what to say. Finally, he uttered a mournful cry, covered his face with a book, and his neck was almost as red as his hair, "Woo, don't look at me, so... so shameful!"
Xiang En's eyes softened, he stretched out his hand to caress Andrea's slightly hot head, and said softly: "Hey, don't hide, I cooked noodles for you, let's watch after eating!"
Hearing what Xiang En said about the food, Andrea finally smelled the scent of the food in the air, which was different from other food, and she felt warm after taking a sip.
Tempted by the food, she let go of unnecessary shame and looked towards the source of the heat, where the big pots and bowls were steaming upwards.
"noodle?"
The staple food in this world is bread, green vegetables are defined as evil by them, so they are rarely eaten, and there is no such thing as ramen.
When Andrea saw the strange thing soaked in the soup in the bowl, she was very surprised.
Under Xiang En's guidance, she successfully used two small wooden sticks as forks, rolled up the ramen noodles and stuffed them into her mouth. After chewing for a few times, her eyes lit up immediately, and she took a big bite.
Xiang En also tasted it himself, and the taste was very ordinary, but he pulled the noodles very thinly, so that it would not be bland, and it was also refreshing with the minced meat and fat that he hadn't eaten for a long time.
After eating his own noodles, Xiang En watched Andrea eating noodles boredly, and then released the barrier technique to improve his proficiency.
He didn't stop being in a daze until the magic power in his body was exhausted and Andrea finished eating noodles.
Then, Andrea, who was full of food and drink, locked the door behind her...
The two studied the novel "Alexander's Rainy Season" together. The content in it is vivid and highly consistent with reality. Every time they try, it makes people feel that the author who wrote this book must be a cultural person!
In the second half of the night, the rumbling sound like thousands of troops crossing the border gradually subsided. Should all the zombies on the surface have gone?
The vibration lasted for a whole day, and Xiang En couldn't imagine how many monsters passed by above!
It stands to reason that there is no movement above their heads now, so they should be able to get out.
But for safety reasons, Xiang En still decided to stay underground for three days before leaving.
