After watching Yan Bugui go back, he looked at the two pots, one big and one small, and then at his own cooking panel [Introduction to Cooking 88/100], and fell into silent thought.

It seems that I have to cook at home when I have nothing to do and brush up my cooking skills.

As for now, I ate too much at noon and am not hungry yet.

Now, after some training and cultivation, Liu Ping'an can become like a camel. He can go without food or water for three days, and then find a place with water to replenish the nutrients his body needs.

Although he couldn't practice fasting like the great monks in the foundation-building stage in the mortal world and survive by relying solely on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it was not a problem for him to use the spiritual energy to refine his body every day and surpass ordinary people.

Now his physique is three times stronger than that of an ordinary person. The real strength of a thousand gold coins is beyond doubt.

Fortunately, my own skills are based on mental strength, so controlling these powers is not a problem. Otherwise, if I accidentally kill a beast in this courtyard, wouldn't I have to fight these people one for one?

Looking at the flour he had just put into the dough jar that morning, Liu Ping'an couldn't help but feel itchy.

As a northerner in my previous life, I might not know how to cook, but I definitely had to know how to make noodles and steamed buns.

As he spoke, he grabbed some flour, piled it directly on the chopping board, poured water from the spiritual spring in the space, and started to mix the dough. When the dough was almost ready, he found a porcelain basin and turned it upside down on the chopping board, waiting for it to slowly rise and ferment.

Liu Ping'an didn't add yeast powder to this dough, nor did he use the dough fermented last time as a starter. It only relied on the yeast in the air to ferment, which would take a long time. But with the help of the spiritual spring water, it should be almost done by tomorrow.

I will get up early tomorrow to steam a pot of white flour buns and try the specialties produced in this space. Unfortunately, there is only flour at the moment.

But I have already collected all the materials on the list. And they have all been planted on the black soil, only half a day later than this batch of wheat. It's almost done, almost done.

In just ten days, by the first of next month, you can have whatever you want to eat. It can meet all your daily production and living needs - firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

By the way, I also received this tea. I actually found it in the flower market. There are quite a few varieties. Now we are growing seedlings on the black soil. When the tea leaves are ready, we will transplant these fruit trees to the northern mountains. The same goes for other fruit trees.

Liu Ping'an did not plan to plant these fruit trees on the black soil. Although the black soil did not have the effect of accelerating growth outside, if the spiritual spring water was used diligently to water them, it would be no problem to achieve a three-fold acceleration.

Plus, he also has the King's Treasure House for storage, which is similar to the effect of stopping time. It is the same when you put it in, and it is the same when you take it out. You can't finish it, you can't finish it at all.

Thinking that he would achieve fruit freedom in ten days, he couldn't help but reveal a Dragon King smile at the corners of his mouth.

By the way, he put his own Sherlock Holmes pipe into the King's Treasure House, and used the refining technique to refine it, directly covering the brass with a layer of gold. When he put it to his mouth, the taste was immediately much better.

After finishing the work in the house, he walked towards Yan Bugui at the door with his pipe in his mouth, wanting to inquire about the recent developments in the Siheyuan.

As he spoke, he picked up his pipe, sat down opposite Yan Bugui, lit his pipe, and started smoking it puff by puff.

Seeing Liu Pingan coming out and sitting opposite him smoking a pipe, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Pingan, why are you smoking a pipe?"

"I can't afford the well-packaged ones these days, so it's more cost-effective to smoke this one."

"Yes, smoking a pipe is indeed cost-effective, but the smell is too strong. Most people can't stand it. I'm not used to it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ping'an took two puffs of cigarettes and spat heavily in the direction of Yan Bugui.

Seeing Liu Ping'an like this, Yan Bugui just clicked his tongue twice.

Then Liu Ping'an asked, "How is the grain registration for our hospital going?"

"What grain book?"

"It's about Director Wang coming to our hospital yesterday to hold a hospital-wide meeting. You wouldn't have forgotten it now, would you?"

"Oh, you're talking about this. The neighborhood office has already sent people to our compound to register today. Those who have family members have already registered. For people like you who are alone at home and not registered, you can only go to the neighborhood office yourself."

"By the way, Ping An, are you like what Jia Zhang said last night, that you don't have a permanent residence in the city? If this is true, you won't even be able to buy food on the market in the future."

"Don't listen to the nonsense of that crazy woman Jia Zhang. I have a registered permanent residence in the city of Beijing and have settled down in Zhengyangmen. I went there today to register for the grain tax book and it's already been done."

"By the way, Third Uncle. Have the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed their household registration to the city?"

"No, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each own more than two mu of land in the countryside. Even if they rent it out to relatives and only collect half of the crops, the crops from the past few days are enough for the whole family to eat, not to mention there will be another crop after autumn."

"How could the Jia family be so stupid as to give up their rural household registration and transfer to an urban household registration? My eldest son must also find a wife like Qin Huairu who lives in the countryside and has land."

"Do you want to be as beautiful as Qin Huairu, or have land in the countryside like her? Or do you want both, Third Master?"

Hearing Liu Ping'an's teasing, Yan Bugui rarely refuted and just chuckled twice.

Liu Ping'an did not discuss this topic with Yan Bugui in depth. Instead, he continued to talk about the Jia family's affairs: "In the end, there is no fixed amount of love. It is the Jia family that cannot buy food!"

Yan Bugui thought Liu Ping'an was envious of the Jia family, and consoled him, "If my wife had land in the countryside, I wouldn't transfer to a city hukou now."

"Come on, Mr. Yan, it's not so easy to take advantage of the country. The Jia family will suffer in the future."

"No way! Our current government is the people's government. How can we compete with the people for profits?"

"Teacher Yan is right. Our people's government will definitely not compete with the people for profit. But you are also one of the few educated people in our courtyard. Look at the behavior of Jia Zhang and her daughter-in-law."

Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and asked, "What does it look like?"

"They, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, lie around in the city all day long, doing nothing, yet they can get half of the grain every year during the harvest season. Aren't they landlords?"

"Uncle San, you better watch out. The country will take action."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui carefully took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, nodded, and said nothing.
