Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 40 It's All For Your Sister's Sake
Otherwise, I won't mistreat you either; you can eat rice every day.
You're not one of my people yet!
With Mi Ling's ability, Chen Luo not giving her rice and flour won't stop her, but she won't have as much time on the road to find them.
Mi Ling was stunned. "You guys haven't eaten yet?"
Mi Ling blushed. "Sorry, I think I ate everyone's share. Is there enough rice left? If not, I'll go find some now."
Ma Yu chuckled inwardly. Was that little bit of rice even enough to fill Da Zhu's teeth?
It wasn't even rinsed. Chen Luo wouldn't eat it.
Chen Luo waved his hand. "No need, we have food, plenty of it."
"Sister Yu, come over here, I'll tell you which dishes to make."
Chen Luo went to the refrigerator and put the dishes he was going to prepare for lunch into it.
"Sister Yu, no more barbecue for now. Today we'll make mapo tofu, hand-shredded cabbage, hot and sour shredded potatoes, Sichuan boiled pork slices, spicy diced chicken, braised prawns in oil, spicy crab, and cabbage with beef."
"For soup, we'll make a tomato and egg drop soup."
Ma Yu nodded. "But, if we make it on the spot, it'll take at least an hour to finish all these dishes."
Chen Luo laughed. "It's okay, we'll serve them one by one."
Cooking was Ma Yu's job, and she didn't care how many dishes she made; she wished she could spend more time doing it.
Chen Luo then said to Mi Li, "Mi Li, let's go to your room, I want to talk to you about something."
Mi Li said "Okay" and obediently stood up from the sofa, following Chen Luo to her room.
Mi Ling frowned. A lone man and a woman in a room.
But Chen Luo couldn't possibly be wall-slamming my sister while I'm here, right?
If he wanted to, he would have done it already and wouldn't have waited until now.
I'll find some time later to chat with Mi Li and find out more about this so-called big brother Chen Luo.
Chen Luo led Mi Li to the balcony attached to the room.
Mi Li stood in the corner, and Chen Luo, with one hand on the wall, really did use the wall-slamming posture to talk to Mi Li.
Mi Li's face couldn't help but turn red.
Chen Luo said, "Mi Li, following big brother, you don't have to worry about food or drink, and you can eat whatever you want, right?"
Mi Li nodded.
"And being with big brother, you're very safe and don't have to be afraid at all, right?"
Mi Li nodded again.
Chen Luo smiled and touched Mi Li's head. "Because Mi Li is obedient, well-behaved, and capable, big brother treats you well too. But you, what about your sister? Will she listen to me?"
Mi Li immediately began to think. Her sister had always been opinionated and wasn't familiar with big brother Chen Luo, so she probably wouldn't listen to him.
Chen Luo continued, "Mi Li, let me ask you, between me and your sister, if you had to choose a captain, who would be better at leading us to survive?"
Mi Li didn't even need to think about this question.
"Of course, it's you, big brother Chen Luo."
Her sister had struggled to get back from school, and she looked like a starving ghost, even eating three bowls of unrinsed rice.
Mi Li felt sorry for her.
And big brother Chen Luo, the demonic hound he raised was even tired of eating meat.
Her sister was living worse than a demonic hound. No, there was no comparison.
Ever since she met big brother Chen Luo, she had never gone hungry again.
Her sister couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she lead everyone?
So, did she even need to think about this question?
If Mi Ling knew what Mi Li was thinking, she would probably be so angry that her chest would hurt again.
Chen Luo laughed. "So, we must first make your sister, uh..."
Chen Luo wanted to say tame her to be obedient, but that sounded a little too evil.
"Uh, make her obey me, otherwise, if there's a dispute between me and your sister at a critical moment, leading to an irreparable serious consequence, it would be too late."
Mi Li nodded solemnly. "Yes, we must make my sister listen to you."
Chen Luo smiled. "Before your sister obeys me, I won't share my supplies with her, otherwise, she'll eat mine, drink mine, and still rebel against me. Wouldn't that be a pure sucker move?"
Mi Li thought that made a lot of sense.
Chen Luo patted Mi Li's shoulder with satisfaction. "So, in a moment, let her watch us eat. We'll give her food when she's obedient. Remember, we're doing this for her own good."
Mi Li echoed, "This is for sister's own good."
Chen Luo's plan was successfully completed, and he left the room with Mi Li.
At this time, Mi Ling had already sensed something was wrong. Why was such a fragrant smell coming from the kitchen?
Watching Ma Yu take things out of the refrigerator one by one, and then looking at the connected storage battery, Mi Ling suddenly realized that the refrigerator could still be used.
Ma Yu glanced at Mi Ling. Chen Luo said he wouldn't give her food, but he didn't say he wouldn't let her watch.
It seemed like he was deliberately doing it for her to see, because she would normally close the kitchen door to prevent the fumes from spreading.
Mi Ling exclaimed in shock, "Why are you taking out so many things? How many dishes are you planning to make? Are we just throwing our lives away? One dish is enough. Trust me, you won't be able to eat these things in the future."
Ma Yu said "Oh." "Chen Luo ordered me to make them, so it's not up to me how many dishes I make."
Mi Ling ran to Chen Luo in a fluster. "Chen Luo, this is too wasteful. Even if we can finish it, we can't eat like this. What will we eat tomorrow?"
Chen Luo chuckled. "Today is the reunion of you and Mi Li. Mi Li is happy, so we must celebrate."
Mi Ling was stunned. "That's still no reason to do this. It's too extravagant."
Chen Luo waved his hand. "These are my things, so don't worry about it."
Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Mi Ling didn't plan to persuade him anymore.
She just secretly hated herself for eating too quickly just now. Although she was craving it to death, she was afraid that her stomach wouldn't be able to hold much.
They definitely wouldn't be able to finish so many dishes.
It seemed like many of them were her favorite dishes. The spicy and fragrant smell of chili peppers, she hadn't smelled it in a long time.
This Chen Luo was still pretty good, willing to take out so many delicious things to celebrate her and Mi Li's reunion.
The first dishes to come up were mapo tofu and Sichuan boiled pork slices, and the fragrant and numbing aroma filled the living room.
Ma Yu's cooking skills were not easy to come by even before the apocalypse, let alone now.
Mi Ling's saliva secreted in her mouth subconsciously just from smelling it, and her stomach actually started to feel hungry again.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, Mi Ling swallowed hard.
Everyone would definitely wait for all the dishes to be served before eating, just like at a normal gathering, playing with their phones, chatting, and waiting patiently.
Mi Ling kept telling herself not to rush, these dishes didn't have wings, they couldn't fly away.
At this serving speed, she would be able to eat them soon.
If any zombies dared to come and cause trouble, she would chop them to death.
Finally, all eight dishes were served, leaving only the last soup.
At this time, Mi Ling was already restless, but she still put on an act of not being greedy or impatient.
Chen Luo took out four bottles of herbal tea from the refrigerator and put them on the table.
Mi Ling was puzzled. There were five people, so he should have taken out five bottles. Could it be that there weren't enough?
Then she wouldn't drink it, she could just eat the dishes.
