Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Yan Fan is actually from the south, but when he was in junior high school, his parents divorced and he was sent to live with relatives for half a year. His relative's family is from the north. When he is at home, Yan Fan will take the initiative to help with housework, such as kneading and rolling dough. Although he is not familiar with it, at least he is not a novice. After doing it a few times, he got the hang of it.

Gu Tongwan couldn't help but glance at the dough rolled out by Yan Fan. Although it was a bit thick, it was at least much better than the one she rolled.

"Sister Wanwan, you made so much stuffing at once, how many buns do you plan to make? Are you planning to open a bun shop?"

Yan Fan did not doubt the meat. He had seen a large freezer on the first floor before, which was filled with various meats wrapped in plastic wrap. He guessed that it should be mutant pork purchased from the market or other edible mutant animal meat.

Those two large freezers are enough to hold hundreds of kilograms of meat, so although these two large pots look a lot, most of them are actually preserved vegetables and vermicelli.

Even so, these two large pots can probably make seventy or eighty meat buns.

"I can't go out during the acid rain anyway, so I might as well find something to do. I can't just stay at home and watch TV and play with my phone. And I don't know when this acid rain will end. The flour I bought yesterday can come in handy. I can't make pancakes at home every day. I'll get sick of it. After thinking it over, I think it's better to make dumplings. First, they're easy to fill up, and second, they're easy to store and heat up. I can just put them in a steamer and heat them up for ten minutes and they're ready to eat."

Yan Fan thought for a while, looked at the dough in his hand, and suddenly said, "Why not keep some for making dumplings? Eating steamed buns all the time will make you sick. Dumplings with beef filling should be delicious too."

"Why didn't I think of that? Dumplings are good, but the dough for dumplings is thinner and smaller than that for buns. I guess you'll have to work harder."

"It doesn't matter. It's not as hard as when I was working on the construction site." Yan Fan grinned and became energetic when he thought about having dumplings for lunch.

Speaking of dumplings, it seemed like he hadn't eaten them for several years since the end of the world, and now he missed the taste even more.

Seeing Yan Fan's expression, Gu Tongwan stopped what he was doing, turned around and went to the freezer to take out another piece of meat.

"Dumplings taste best with shepherd's purse and pork. You continue to roll the dough while I go to chop the stuffing. I remember there's a bag of pork jelly here that I made last time. Mixing a little bit of it into buns and dumplings will make them taste better. But I can't get shepherd's purse. I still have a few cabbages left. There are also dried mushrooms that I bought at the trading center last time in the refrigerator."

Gu Tongwan opened the freezer while muttering to himself, and directly took out the small half of pork that was pressed at the bottom, which weighed about three pounds. He also found half a bag of dried mushrooms from another refrigerator. The dried mushrooms were soaked in water in advance, and ground with pork meat grinder, and the pork skin jelly was mixed in. Soon the dumplings had thin skin and large fillings, and they were full of juice in one bite, not to mention how tempting they were.

The two of them chatted casually at first, one rolling the dough and the other making the buns. Gu Tongwan's skill in making buns was not particularly good, but at least he wouldn't spill the dough. After making more than a dozen, he gradually found the feeling and became a little more proficient. By the time he had made more than thirty buns, their quality was already almost the same as those sold in the bun shops outside.

"Let me see. We have made a total of thirty-seven buns and seventy-eight dumplings. We will only need to put thirty dumplings in later, as there are still steaming buns in the pot. In case they are all full, they won't be able to eat anymore." She hasn't gone out hunting recently, so her appetite has decreased a lot. She can probably eat ten dumplings and two buns. She probably can't eat more. Yan Fan is still growing at this stage, so his appetite should not be too small, so he should be able to eat twenty dumplings and a few big buns.

Put the buns in the steamer. One steamer can hold about ten buns, which is exactly three layers of steamers. Dumplings are cooked in another pot.

In addition, the dipping sauce for dumplings is also very simple. Crush the garlic and add a little sesame oil, light soy sauce and a little vinegar. The simple dumpling dipping sauce is ready. If you can eat spicy food, you can add two spoons of chili oil.

The success of making buns for the first time was beyond Gu Tongwan’s expectations. Gu Tongwan simply attributed it to the fact that the filling he prepared was good enough, and secondly, the dough rolled by Yan Fan was also pretty good.

Although it was raining acid rain outside, keeping the windows closed was not a solution. Considering that it was only a light rain and the rain would not splash into the room for the time being, I simply opened one of the windows on the first floor so that the kitchen exhaust fan and window could disperse the steam in the house in time.

The first batch of hot buns were ready quickly, and the second batch of buns were already in the steamer.

I picked out two preserved vegetable pork buns and two beef vermicelli buns respectively. The buns were white and plump just out of the steaming. They were very springy when poked with chopsticks, and you could see some oil and water overflowing from the seal. It was obvious that they were the kind with thin skin and large fillings.

Gu Tongwan first picked up the pork and preserved vegetables and put it into the bowl, then took a light bite. The scalding hot soup almost burned her tongue.

He blew gently at the bun a few times before taking the second bite.

This time I was very careful. The combination of pickled mustard greens and pork belly was just right. The aroma of the meat was permeated with the salty fragrance of the pickled mustard greens, and the fat of the pork belly had been steamed until melted. One bite was enough to make your mouth full of oil. Combined with the previously mixed jelly, juice kept oozing out of the bun after only two or three bites.

On the other side, Yan Fan picked up a beef vermicelli bun and ate it with relish. The juice in the beef vermicelli bun was not as rich as the preserved vegetable and pork bun, but the whole mouth was filled with the fresh fragrance of the marinated beef, and the vermicelli covered with the soup made the combination of the two just right.

Gu Tongwan quickly finished a preserved vegetable pork bun, then picked up the beef vermicelli bun. While eating, he marveled at the fact that he could actually make such delicious buns.

But in fact, it is hard to imagine that the buns with such rich fillings and abundant oil and water will taste bad.

It took the two of them less than ten minutes to finish the two buns. When their fingers were empty on the plate, they saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Gu Tongwan quickly stood up and said, trying not to laugh, "The water in the pot seems to be boiling. I'll go put the dumplings in."

A total of thirty dumplings stuffed with mushrooms, cabbage and pork were made, which is definitely enough for two people.

After the dumplings are cooked, they need to be poured with cold water twice, the so-called "three boils and three rolls". After the water boils for the last time, the dumplings will quickly float to the surface.

“The dumplings are ready.”

She put the round and plump dumplings into the bowl.

The size of the dumplings was similar to those sold in supermarkets. She was already half full, so she served herself about ten dumplings as she had planned, and gave Yan Fan twenty more.

A dipping sauce plate was placed in front of each person. She knew that Yan Fan could eat spicy food, and he was the type that could eat spicy food particularly well. Last time when they were eating noodles, he almost finished the spicy and sour chicken he had made. Later she found out that Yan Fan discovered that he could eat spicy food after his superpowers awakened. It was probably related to his superpowers, because he was an ice-type superpower user, his body might be in a cold state for a long time, and eating spicy food would offset some of this feeling.

Of course, this is also the reason why Gu Tongwan made the guess. After all, the official has not yet released any relevant information to explain how the dietary structure of people with special abilities differs from that of ordinary people.

Knowing that he can eat spicy food, he deliberately gave him two extra spoonfuls of chili peppers, and even chopped up a kind of green chili pepper. This kind of green chili pepper is square in shape. It is said that it is a kind of chili pepper cultivated by the Agricultural Science Institute and is five times spicier than ordinary millet chili peppers. Usually, Gu Tongwan can only eat one spoonful at most before he feels too spicy, but Yan Fan can eat three spoonfuls at a time.

The cabbage and mushroom dumplings were dipped in the sauce. When you take a bite, you can smell the rich mushroom aroma at first, followed by the unique aroma of cabbage, and mixed with the aroma of meat in the middle. It is full of juice in one bite, but unlike buns, dumplings taste more juicy, have a richer texture, and the skin is softer and smoother. Coupled with the dipping sauce she made, the aroma of garlic and chili is just right.

It turns out that dumplings taste better when you make them yourself. I thought about how I occasionally ate the dumplings I bought in the space to save trouble. At that time, I ordered takeout, and the dumplings were probably not hand-made. They tasted just like the frozen dumplings sold in supermarkets, and they didn’t taste like dumplings at all.

However, there was still a batch of raw dumplings in the space that she had bought at the noodle shop, but not many, a total of seven or eight flavors of raw dumplings, each with no more than a hundred pieces, so she usually ate them sparingly. But after being able to make similar dumplings this time, Gu Tongwan had some confidence in her cooking skills, and the dumplings she made this time were estimated to be able to be eaten for a long time.

Glancing at Yan Fan who was also eating heartily across from him, Gu Tongwan couldn't help but ask with a smile, "How are the dumplings I made? Are they tasty?"

Yan Fan was busy working and just gave a thumbs up with his left hand, and didn't say a word else.

After eating ten dumplings, Gu Tongwan was just the right amount of full, but Yan Fan looked like he was still a little unsatisfied. He didn't say he wanted to continue eating, but his eyes, which kept glancing at the remaining buns, could not be hidden from anyone.

Children living under someone else's roof are all like this. Even if they want something in their heart, they will never take the initiative to ask for it.

I remember that she used to envy other children in the orphanage for having new toys donated by kind people, because sometimes those toys were designated for certain children, so those who didn’t get them could only wait for these children to take the initiative to share, but often after others got tired of playing with them. She knew this feeling of wanting something but not daring to take it.

Feeling suddenly amused, Gu Tongwan took two more beef buns and handed them to him without saying a word.

"Eat it. You're still growing, so it's okay to eat more. Let's just celebrate our success in making dumplings today. And you rolled out the dough, so it's okay for you to eat more."

Yan Fan was startled for a moment, then smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, Sister Wanwan."

"If you want to thank me, help me clean up later. The kitchen is a mess now."

"Oh, okay, there's no problem with doing the work, I'm the best at it."

Yan Fan was still making buns, and Gu Tongwan concentrated on wrapping the remaining buns, and turned on the TV in the hall.

It was drizzling outside. She was in the house, watching a movie rerun on TV while making dumplings. There was a steamer with leftover dumplings on the gas stove.

The exhaust fan expelled the steam from the room in bursts.

At this time, the villa area

Liu Hun stretched lazily out of boredom, his eyes falling on the acid rain outside the windowsill, while he was chewing a piece of bread with jam in his mouth.

The bread was dry and tasteless, but the jam tasted great. I don’t know where Ye Ziqiu bought it from, but you can actually taste the fruit pulp in the jam, and there is a very obvious aroma of passion fruit and mango.

If it weren't for the jam, he wouldn't be able to eat his lunch.

Fang Tang is not a picky eater, so he ate with relish at the table.

Since the extreme heat, their activity location has moved from the first floor to the second floor. Even after the extreme heat subsided, there has been no change. Perhaps they have become accustomed to activities in the living room on the second floor.

Just as Liu Hun was eating and browsing his phone, a gust of wind blew over, carrying with it a strong smell of sulfur dioxide. When he was about to close the balcony door, he suddenly smelled a faint aroma of meat in the air?

Who's cooking meat at home right now?

Liu Hun frowned and thought it was his illusion at first, so he took another step forward, and the smell of meat became more obvious.

"Hey, do you smell a nice aroma? It sounds like someone is cooking meat?" Liu Hun widened his eyes and looked in the direction of the smell. Suddenly, he found that a private residential building below seemed to have wisps of white smoke rising slowly in the misty drizzle.

"Liu Hun, have you been craving meat for too long? I smell sulfur dioxide outside, but you can smell meat here. I really admire you."

Geng Zimo is disassembling his sniper rifle and wiping them one by one. He repeats this action every day. He treats his gun like his own son and treasures it very much. For today's lunch, there is toast with jam, fried potatoes, and some noodles with meat sauce made from mutant meat. The taste is not delicious because there are very few seasonings available. After all, seasonings are scarce at this stage. Even if they have no financial pressure every month, it is difficult for them to get too many seasonings at one time. The main reason is that this thing is not easy to get. Every time the base has a supply, it is basically snatched up by the powerful who heard the news.

The others couldn't help laughing when they heard what Mo Zigeng said. Liu Hun was a carefree person in normal times, so no one took his words seriously.

Xu Qingzhi, who was sitting on the sofa at this time, had a stronger perception ability and the strength of his five senses was higher than that of his other companions. At this time, he seemed to smell the fragrance that Liu Hun mentioned, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's pork buns!"
