296: Chapter 296 A Surge of Flattery

Huo Sixian glanced sideways at Kong Ziyi.

“Have I been mistreating you lately?”

Kong Ziyi immediately waved his hands: “No! No!”

“Of course not!”

“Boss is the best to us!”

“I like Boss the most!”

“If Boss says go east, I definitely won't go west!”

Huo Sixian's mouth twitched as he listened to Kong Ziyi's round of flattery.

He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Just how old was he? His personality was still like a child's.

“Alright, since everyone loves it, let's get to cleaning these rabbit skins.”

Huo Sixian placed the rabbit meat directly on the table.

Mo Wangchuan and the others didn't even need Huo Sixian's instructions.

They came over on their own with skinning tools.

Among them, Mo Wangchuan worked the most energetically.

Originally, Mo Wangchuan was a medical student, so anatomy and skinning were naturally second nature to him.

His speed alone was several times faster than the others.

Huo Sixian silently looked at the rabbit meat in his hand and suddenly felt that with so many people on the recreational vehicle, one rabbit probably wouldn't be enough.

Just as he was about to ask Little Light and Little Tiger to catch a few more rabbits, he saw Deng Jiayu watching from the side.

Huo Sixian immediately switched into 'currying favor' mode.

He scurried over to Deng Jiayu's side.

“Grandmother, what would you like to eat tonight?”

“Qingqing loves spicy rabbit heads, so I caught a few fresh wild rabbits from the space. But eating only rabbit tonight won't do, so I came to ask you, Grandmother, what other dishes should we add for dinner?”

Deng Jiayu looked at those rabbits; they were clearly very much alive just a second ago.

A question immediately surfaced in her mind: “These rabbits... were caught from Qingqing's space?”

“Do the animals on that mountain grow that fast?”

Deng Jiayu's eyes widened as she looked at the rabbits on the table, each one several sizes larger than a normal rabbit.

Her gaze was filled with disbelief.

If these really were the rabbits growing in Ye Qingqing's space...

Then now... wouldn't they have a continuous supply of fresh meat to eat...

It was impossible for Deng Jiayu not to be shocked.

After all, after that Acid Rain...

Deng Jiayu had also observed the soil outside.

It had been eroded too much by the Acid Rain; it was impossible to grow fresh vegetables in the short term.

Let alone those normal animals that had luckily survived in the Post-Apocalyptic World.

Now, even if those animals wanted to survive, they couldn't.

Before, Deng Jiayu and the others hadn't gone without trying the meat of mutated animals.

But the meat of those mutated animals tasted both fishy and tough.

Only Ah Huang and Little Light liked eating it.

Although Deng Jiayu knew Ye Qingqing's space had many things, she still worried there would come a day when they would run out.

Now that she saw there was rabbit meat to eat from Ye Qingqing's space, Deng Jiayu suddenly felt that tomorrow's life had become bright again.

She immediately perked up and gave Huo Sixian a glance filled with a hint of approval.

She patted Huo Sixian's shoulder: “Little Huo, you're very thoughtful, even knowing that Qingqing likes spicy rabbit heads.”

When Huo Sixian felt Deng Jiayu's encouraging pat, he was extremely pleased with himself.

The expression on his face was completely undisguised; anyone who took one look at Huo Sixian would know he had been praised by Deng Jiayu.

On the side, when Huo Cunsheng saw his grandson's foolish look, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

However, Huo Cunsheng was discerning enough to hold it back.

He just silently shook his head in private.

No one expected that Huo Sixian would actually be a complete 'love-brain'.

However, after the feeling of mockery passed in an instant, it was replaced by a touch of jealousy.

He was jealous that Huo Sixian had actually gone to ask Deng Jiayu first.

That brat hadn't even come to ask for his opinion yet!

But his sense of presence wasn't diminished in the slightest.

At this moment, Huo Cunsheng directly and gloomily sidled up to the two people who were discussing the evening menu.

He tilted his head to the side.

“I want to eat pea shoots.”

Deng Jiayu was clearly startled by Huo Cunsheng's sudden voice.

She nearly jumped off the ground in a sudden start.

But then, realizing it was Huo Cunsheng's voice, she forced herself to calm down.

She looked at Huo Cunsheng very crossly.

“You walk without making a sound, are you trying to be a ghost?”

Huo Cunsheng naturally knew Deng Jiayu wouldn't give him any pleasant looks.

He had gotten used to it during this period.

After all, Deng Jiayu just had that kind of sharp-tongued personality.

Huo Cunsheng didn't argue with her.

He only saw her disdain through the cold snort from her mouth.

“Fine, fine, fine, pea shoots, I'll add them for you. pea shoots and meatball soup?”

When Huo Cunsheng heard it was his favorite tomato meatball soup,

his whole eyes lit up.

He nodded repeatedly: “Great, great! It would be even better if we added a tomato and egg stir-fry!”

Heaven knows how good Deng Jiayu's cooking was.

As someone whose old partner had long since passed away,

being able to have an old lady cook for him in his old age...

Huo Cunsheng didn't care even if he constantly suffered Deng Jiayu's eye-rolls!

After all, having a bite to eat was king in this Post-Apocalyptic World.

Huo Sixian silently observed the growth of the pea shoots in the space.

In just a little while longer, they would be about ready.

Just by looking at the tender sprouts at the tips of the vegetables, Huo Sixian knew how delicious a mouthful of those pea shoots would be.

For a moment, the recreational vehicle became extremely lively.

Fortunately, it was because the space in this recreational vehicle was large enough.

It was just enough to fit all of them.

However, because of the cooking, for a time, everyone wanted to squeeze into the kitchen area to help.

With so many people surrounding that small kitchen area,

even for a large recreational vehicle, it couldn't accommodate them all.

Finally, Deng Jiayu reached the end of her patience and directly erupted with a 'lion's roar'.

“This is the kitchen! Not a place for you to play around!”

“If you want to play, wait until I'm done cooking. Anyone who wants to come play in the kitchen then can!”

When Deng Jiayu said this, she specifically glanced at Mo Wangchuan and Kong Ziyi.

Just now, the two of them had been the most boisterous.

After being scolded by Deng Jiayu, everyone was dumbfounded.

They looked at each other.

Everyone felt as if they had returned to the memory of being lectured by a teacher as a child.

Seeing that everyone had finally stopped fooling around, Deng Jiayu immediately began giving orders.

“Xiao Leng, you hold the child and go watch TV. Don't bring children into the kitchen from a young age. There's so much rabbit meat here; it's not good for a child to see. Look, there's still blood on the skins.”

“Xiao Mo and Zi Yi, you two, go, go, go. Go help Xiao Leng in the living room. Don't block the way here. Now that the rabbit meat is all skinned, there's nothing left for you to do in the kitchen.”
