A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Before Fang Shiqing could react, the kitchen knife in his hand was snatched away, and he was pushed away from the chopping board by the other party.He froze for a moment, and protested: "But you want me to cook this meal for you?"

This meal is a meal he invited the boss to express his gratitude, how could he let him do it himself!

However, seeing Xiao Fengdi raised the knife and cut the shepherd's purse neatly and finely in a few strokes, he was speechless immediately.

Xiao Fengdi took the spare bowl on the side and pointed it at him, meaning to tell him to bring the eggs.

"Uh, I'll do the next one, shall I?"

"I'll do it." Xiao Fengdi said without doubt, "You're too slow."

Fang Shiqing was so frustrated that he finally compromised and took out two eggs from the inventory, which were freshly produced this morning.

"Two are too few, two more." Xiao Fengdi urged.

"Is two eggs enough for one serving?"

"One serving?" The other party looked at him, "Is it because you don't plan to eat it or you don't plan to let me eat it?"

—Of course he didn't intend to eat it himself.An egg costs 50 yuan, which is enough for 5 days if replaced with the cheapest set meal. How could he be willing to eat it by himself?It's only natural to invite big brothers to dinner, but it's completely possible to save money here.

"I don't need it anymore,... I really don't need it, I really... oh."

Being stared at by the boss, he finally touched two eggs and came out, feeling distressed for a while.

Xiao Fengdi cracked the eggs into a bowl, mixed them with the chopped shepherd's purse, beat well and added salt.He is proficient and neat in his movements, and he obviously cooks often, and his efficiency is many times higher than that of Fang Shiqing.

He familiarly heated up the stove, poured oil into the pan, poured the mixed shepherd's purse and eggs into it and fried them until cooked. The whole process was smooth and smooth. Before Fang Shiqing could react, he could already smell the long-lost aroma of food.

"……Um?"

At this moment, Xiao Fengdi's movements stopped for a moment, as if he was a little puzzled.

"what happened?"

Fang Shiqing stretched out his head to take a look into the pot, and was startled: "Wait, why are there so many dishes in this pot?!"

There is a thick layer of shepherd's purse and eggs in the pot, almost covering the entire bottom of the pot, and it is a bit difficult to stir fry.This pot is very large, so the portion is quite considerable. According to rough visual inspection, it is probably enough for six or seven people to eat.

However, the ingredients were prepared by Fang Shiqing, and he knew the original weight.Four eggs plus a bowl of shepherd's purse, how can so much be fried?I've only heard of vegetables shrinking in the pot, but haven't you seen more vegetables being fried?

"...Forget it, anyway, there are enough weird things in the 'game', this one is not bad." Xiao Fengdi quickly accepted this setting, probably since entering the game, his three views have changed. I have been repeatedly hit countless times, and now I am not surprised by anything.

Fang Shiqing remembered the conversation he had with the little girl on the ranch the day he bought the Shaking Sheep.At that time, they mentioned that they started cooking at home, and the little girl said, "For people like us, why not just use home-made ingredients?" Did she mean at that time that under the setting of the game, Will the finished product automatically increase when cooking with self-produced ingredients?

Next, put the dishes on a plate. With such a large portion, it would definitely not fit on a plate, so Fang Shiqing had no choice but to go back to the house to get more tableware.

By the way, he also moved out the tables and chairs and placed them outside, so that he could sit down and eat directly.

The rice is a finished product bought directly. The white rice grains are mixed with the yellow and green shepherd's purse scrambled eggs. Just looking at it makes one's index finger move, not to mention the wafting fragrance... Fang Shiqing picked up the chopsticks and swallowed one after another Drooling several times, he looked up at Xiao Fengdi.

Xiao Fengdi was also looking at him, both of them looked at each other, neither of them made the first move.

"Why don't you eat, what are you waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for you, big brother," Fang Shiqing said, "Although...but, anyway, I wanted to treat you to dinner."

"I cook the dishes," Xiao Fengdi simply put down his chopsticks, "I would like to see your reaction."

If this goes on, there will be no end.Appetite overcame politeness, Fang Shiqing made up his mind and put the first bite of food into his mouth.

--delicious.

Compared with the taste he is used to, the taste is a little stronger. The boss is probably from the north.But, it's really delicious,

This moment was out of control, he quickly forgot the awkward little thoughts before, and almost buried his head in the rice.

How satisfying this meal is, Fang Shiqing felt that his tears were about to fall. Although there was only such a simple home-cooked dish as scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse, he still felt that this was something he had eaten in the past ten years The most amazing meal ever.

"You are too anxious to eat," Xiao Fengdi disagreed, "You should use the leisurely energy you had while cooking now."

"Because it's delicious."

——and, for him, having someone cook for him was a long-lost experience.

He wiped his face and said, "I'm sorry, boss, I clearly said I wanted to invite you to dinner, but in the end I let you do it yourself... Next time, next time I'll make it first and bring it to you, okay?"

"Okay," Xiao Fengdi smiled slightly, "I'll wait."

There were really too many dishes in this pot, and the two of them only ate one of them in this meal.Fang Shiqing packed up the rest and asked the other party to take some back, and planned to keep the rest for himself to eat slowly.

Speaking of which, since he was able to start a team by himself, he should share some food with other teammates, but——only for today's meal, Fang Shiqing was reluctant to share it with others no matter what.

This is his selfishness, but at least at this moment, he doesn't want to share this "specially made for himself" meal.

... Or do it yourself later, and prepare to order other dishes to give away.

In the afternoon, Xiao Fengdi left Qingliang Farm.

After walking a certain distance, he took out a pair of small dolls given by Carpenter Wang from his pocket, and looked at them quietly for a while.

The male doll on the left is really like Fang Shiqing, with fair skin and big bright eyes.Although the face is only outlined with a few strokes, the features are captured very accurately, full of that specious innocence.

He put the puppet back into his pocket, glanced at the long black female puppet on the right, then threw it into the air, rubbed his fingers together, and a tiny flame sprang up and swallowed it instantly .

——He thought, even if he didn't have the luck to get what he wanted in the end, he would never let a monster in the virtual world touch him.

The next day, Fang Shiqing set out to dig wild vegetables.

There are not as many wild vegetables in summer as in spring, but this season is the season for mushrooms to grow. If you walk around the mountain to the west, you can fill up the inventory in three hours.

With the improvement of the collection level, his item bar has also expanded a lot, and it is no longer so easy to fill them all.However, in addition to edible fungi, he also picks poisonous mushrooms; although they cannot be used for cooking, they can be sold.

Now that there are fields to take care of on the farm, the time has suddenly become a lot more tense. When I returned from the mountain, it was almost four o'clock.

He was busy washing and tearing the mushrooms, saved a small pot, and made a simple stir-fry.The seasoning requirements for fried mushrooms are higher than yesterday's scrambled eggs with shepherd's purse. He thinks he still has a lot of experience in this regard, and the finished product at least makes him very satisfied.

After cooking, he packed the dishes separately and planned to give some to other players one by one.

The remaining uncooked mushrooms can only be sold. There must not be too much food occupying the inventory, and there is no other place to store food for a long time.

—Maybe, now is the time to find a way to buy a refrigerator?

He thought about it as he set out to go out.The closest one is You Qingyu's house, followed by Zhao Jun's courier station, Gu Jinhong's bar, and He Xiangwu's shop, and the farthest in a straight line is Zeng Xin's mayor's house and library.

It's amazing to say that the library is so far away, but it has become the place where he runs the most in the whole town, and he goes there more often than he goes to the central square.

At this point, players have almost finished work (or just started work), and they can find people when they come to the door.

The process is actually lackluster.It is worth mentioning that when he got to the express delivery point, he heard a female voice coming from inside, and the voice seemed familiar; however, after knocking on the door and entering, he did not see any woman at all.

"Didn't there be a woman talking just now?" He vaguely felt something was wrong, so he asked Zhao Jun, "Why didn't you see anyone?"

Zhao Jun was counting the old items, and raised his head suspiciously when he heard the words: "No, right? No female customers came this afternoon, you heard it wrong, right?"

Fang Shiqing was worried, thought for a while and asked again: "Speaking of which, what happened to the wooden doll last time?"

"I went back, and the NPC didn't say anything."

Having said that, he was still a little uneasy.However, looking at Zhao Jun's appearance, he was quite normal. After receiving the food, he also acted in ordinary surprise, unlike being frightened or being upper bodyed by a monster, so it's hard to say anything.

"By the way," Zhao Jun suddenly remembered before going out, "Didn't you come to check the bloodstone last time? I saw the related mission yesterday, but the mission required not the bloodstone, but a seal carved from the bloodstone. So what, Can you carve a seal?"

"...I won't, but someone will."

So he copied down the relevant task requirements, and entrusted them to He Xiangwu by the way.Fortunately, the task does not require the seal engraver's popularity in the art world or seal engraving skills, but only requires engraving a specific name, and he should be able to do it.

In addition, when she arrived at You Qingyu's house, she was cutting the monster into pieces in the yard, leaving her body covered in blood.It can be seen that she has worked very hard, but because of lack of experience and skills in this area, the monster has been cut into a messy mosaic, but still has not removed a limb.

Fang Shiqing suddenly felt that he came at the wrong time, and it was not suitable to give out food under such circumstances.

However, You Qingyu herself didn't take it seriously. According to her, she had been struggling with this monster's corpse for more than two days, and her mood had already changed from nausea at the beginning to numbness now. Greasy monster meat is like facing a pile of raw chicken offal.

"But I didn't expect you to be able to use that pot so soon," she said with emotion, "Why don't you take some monster meat back and try cooking? Maybe it tastes good."

"...For our san value, it's better not to take any risks."

When he arrived near the mayor's house, it was already sunset.Zeng Xin was saying goodbye to the off-work construction workers at the intersection in front of the mayor's gate. She seemed to be in high spirits, but after asking, she found out that the mayor had given her a raise in advance.

Zeng Xin was very happy to see him, and the two chatted a few words about the recent situation, and naturally mentioned the monster You Qingyu killed.You Qingyu said that she learned how to stab the kidney backhand from Zeng Xin. Fang Shiqing asked, and Zeng Xin was a little embarrassed.

"It's not like I taught her, I just know a little bit of practical self-defense, and I usually make gestures when chatting," she explained, "Actually... I haven't told you before, I There is a martial arts gym at home."

"Martial arts?" This was really unexpected, "Is it the kind that teaches people boxing and kicking... Martial arts?"

"Basically, now I mainly teach Sanda. My grandfather, my father, a few uncles, and my cousins ​​all learned this, but I basically didn't learn it. I only practiced female self-defense," she said. , "I'm too afraid of pain, and I can't bear hardships, so I can't practice anything."

Speaking of this, she was a little depressed, wondering if she remembered something sad.

Fang Shiqing couldn't continue to ask, so he changed the subject and took out a box of fried mushrooms and handed it to her.Sure enough, it made her happy all of a sudden: in terms of "eating", the players have been suppressed for too long, and now any home-cooked dish that tastes normal is the ultimate delicacy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Fang Shiqing said goodbye to Zeng Xin and walked towards the library.

Unexpectedly, when he bypassed the street tree next to him, he saw Xiao Fengdi at a glance—the latter was standing not far from the door, looking at him with dark eyes.

"Boss," he greeted casually without realizing what was wrong, and took out the last lunch box while walking towards the other party, "I fried some mushrooms today, and I said yesterday that I would bring them to you, so Here it is--have you eaten? Would you like some of it?"

Xiao Fengdi looked at him with a cold expression.

"no need."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and went into the library. Liu Fang Shiqing stood outside with a dazed expression on his face.

……What's going on here?

Did you say something wrong to make people angry?He reflected on his few words, and felt that they were very ordinary and everyday, and there seemed to be nothing irritating about them.What's more, Xiao Fengdi said that he doesn't get angry that easily.

Or, the boss doesn't like mushrooms? ...No way, didn't he eat everything yesterday?

If this was half a month ago, Fang Shiqing would have gone straight back to the farm full of doubts, after all, the other party didn't seem to want to see him.But now——he felt that he and Xiao Fengdi were more familiar, at least they could be regarded as friends, and at least he was qualified to ask a reason when he was thrown face inexplicably, right?

So he chased after it.

Xiao Fengdi didn't go back to the lounge, but stood at the door, as if hesitating for something.Fang Shiqing was almost face to face with him when he ran in.

"That..." I didn't expect to bump into it so directly, Fang Shiqing was incoherent for a while, "Boss, I, you...Are you..."

After a stalemate for a long time, he didn't say anything, he could only stare at the other party, trying to convey with his eyes.

In the end, it was Xiao Fengdi who sighed, and said with a heavy voice, "Sorry."

"...?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you," he stretched out his hand and took the lunch box from Fang Shiqing's hand, "Thank you for bringing it to me. I will eat it later."

This time, instead of reassuring him, it made him even more confused.What does this mean? Does it mean that you were just venting your anger?Or are you in a bad mood because of something else?

But it's not quite like it.He could feel that the other party's sudden anger was aimed at him.

"I think, if you don't like mushrooms, you can tell me directly," he said after a moment of silence, "if you think I've offended you, you can also tell me directly, otherwise I will never know why you are angry. "

It is his tolerance that the other party does not express their dissatisfaction.But this kind of tolerance must have a limit. After the upper limit is reached, I am afraid that the two parties will no longer be friends.

If you can't communicate effectively, it will be very difficult for people to get along with each other.

"No, I eat everything. Not because of that."

Xiao Fengdi was silent for a long time before saying, "It's really my own problem, and the reason is very naive, so I don't want to tell you."

"Huh?"... Childish?

Fang Shiqing really didn't think that the other party could have anything to do with the word "childish".

Xiao Fengdi turned around slowly.

"I saw you handed the other copy to Zeng Xin. You probably prepared a lot at one go, so you took it and gave everyone a copy, right?"

"But I don't want to get the same treatment as everyone from you," he said, "I just want to be the special one in your heart."
