Fu Ke was a person with special abilities, and she had water-related special abilities. Because the school had a water-related ability user, Zhang Zhongmin had also learned about the water-related ability. It was not very aggressive and could only be used as a water supply station.
Of course, Fu Ke didn’t know what Zhang Zhongmin was thinking, otherwise she would have been confused. Who said that water-based abilities could only be used as a water supply station? Did not have any aggression?
Fu Ke liked to live outside the school but not inside it. She must be able to protect herself and was afraid of trouble.
She knew a lot of things that no one else knew. She saved them because she knew that zombies could be burned to death.
However, he had never seen Fu Ke fight against zombies, so her actions could be considered as outsmarting them. If Fu Ke was really that powerful, she wouldn’t have been chased by zombies like that when he was rescuing Chen Ju and her daughter.
So, he thought that Fu Ke’s fighting ability was not strong.
Moreover, Fu Ke clearly needed the crystal cores so much, but she had never gotten them herself. Instead, she took other measures to exchange for the crystal core, which was why he thought Fu Ke’s fighting ability was not strong.
Being able to protect oneself did not mean that one had strong combat capability.
In fact, Zhang Zhongmin really wanted to bring Fu Ke over for training, but judging from her expression, it was impossible for her to be willing. But he did not give up, he just annoyed Fu Ke yesterday.
So Zhang Zhongmin decided to persuade Fu Ke to participate in the training after a while.
Qiu Yinlan nodded, forced a smile and said, “I understand…”
Watching Qiu Yinlan staggering away, Zhang Zhongmin sighed. He also thought of his parents and sister and wondered what had happened to them.
Zhang Zhongmin was from City B and his parents were both retired. He also had a younger sister who was studying at a university in City B. Wasn’t he also extremely anxious and wanting to go back to City B immediately?
But… he couldn’t abandon the people here and go back alone.
He also saw Xiao Bin crying secretly, holding the photo in his hand. Although Zhang Zhongmin did not go there, he knew that the photo was a picture of Xiao Bin and his girlfriend.
But now there was no way to communicate at all, and no one knew what was happening to the relatives who were not around.
Zhang Zhongmin slowly closed his eyes and clenched his hands into fists while letting them hang naturally. Veins bulged, and after taking a few deep breaths, he gradually relaxed.
He had now become the invisible leader leading everyone, and he could not be wilful at this time. The more he was worried, the more he needed to stay calm. He had to wait. When this place was safe and everyone was strong enough to protect the school, he could leave.
….
When Lu Xun arrived at the Exclusive Restaurant, Fu Ke had already started busying herself in the kitchen.
“What dish are you cooking?” Lu Xun came over. Seeing that Fu Ke was working very quickly and didn’t look like a novice at all, he couldn’t help swallowing and said, “Do you need my help?”
Fu Ke, who had nothing to do all day, waved her hand and said, “No, just sit aside. It will be ready in a while.”
There were many food books in her library, and she had flipped through all of them. If she liked something, she would want to make it, like this dish of soft meat and tofu[1].
She prepared the onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns and bean paste according to the instructions in the book, took out the fatty meat and removed the skin, then took out two knives and quickly chopped the meat into puree.
She cut the tofu into even small cubes and put them aside, then heated up the oil. After the oil was hot, she simmered it until the temperature dropped a little bit.
At this time, throw in the ginger, garlic and peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the chopped meat and stir-fry.
As soon as the chopped meat was put into the pan, the oil in the pan started to sparkle. Then there was a crackling sound in the pot.
However, Fu Ke stir-fried the food calmly, and the splashing oil didn’t get on her at all. When the stir-frying was almost done and most of the oil in the fat had been fried out, scooped two spoonfuls of bean paste with a spoon and stir-fry in the pan.
The aroma of meat was everywhere, and it was obviously more flavorful than yesterday’s Dongpo pork.
It was so big that the students who were eating bread in the school started to have rumbling stomachs.
They sniffed the air in confusion: “Who is cooking? I smell the aroma of fried meat…”
“Come on, who would cook at this time?” The person next to them rolled their eyes, but when they sniffed the air, they indeed smelled the aroma of fried meat.
Zhang Zhongmin who had just walked over: “…”
He looked towards Dongdaemun quietly and sighed helplessly in his heart. Fortunately, outside the school, although these students were suspicious, they did not have the courage to go out and find out what was going on.
Just smelling that fragrance made his already empty stomach feel even hungrier.
Wasn’t this poisoning? Zhang Zhongmin thought with resentment.
Fu Ke put the tofu in and stir-fried it. After the minced meat and oil in the pot were evenly coated on the tofu, she poured clean water into the pot, just enough to cover the tofu.
At this time, she added light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and a little chicken essence.
Chopped the green onions on one side and set it aside.
Lu Xun thought that was the end, but Fu Ke took out some Chinese kale, which he had eaten yesterday. But what Lu Xun couldn’t understand was where such fresh Chinese kale came from.
She chopped the water spinach into pieces and put it into a blender, added water and ground it into a small bowl and added eggs.
“What are you doing?” Lu Xun couldn’t help but ask. Seeing the green stuff that was crushed into a paste, he felt a little disgusted… But he didn’t dare to say it.
Ever since what happened to Squad Leader Zhang yesterday, he had a more cautious impression of Fu Ke.
“Make omelets.” Fu Ke said as she poured the flour in. She added the flour little by little and stirred it constantly. After stirring, it was still a green paste, and the viscosity was not too thick or too thin.
Lu Xun looked at the book that was still there, with the words “Emerald Egg Pancake[2]” written on it.
He immediately felt that Fu Ke had not lied to him. She was really learning how to cook.
He smacked his lips and thought of the Dongpo pork he had eaten yesterday. With her level of skills, if she had opened a restaurant before the end of the world, her business would not be bad. It tasted really good.
What’s more, she was still a beginner.
Fu Ke took out a frying pan, spread a thin layer of oil on it, heated it up, and then scooped a spoonful of the seasoned flour into the pan.
The pan was slightly tilted, and the prepared flour paste moved quickly, and in a short while it solidified into round, thin pancakes the same size as the pan.
After turning it over for a while, it was ready to serve.
Fu Ke made a total of forty emerald egg pancakes, while she also took care of the minced meat tofu in the process.
Soon, the omelet and minced meat tofu were served out, and Fu Ke even prepared the dipping sauce for the omelet and served it to him.
“Come, come, have a try.” Fu Ke stretched out her silvery jade hands, rolled up the thin egg pancake, and then dipped it in the sauce and gave it to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun said: “I’ll do it myself, you eat too.”
“I’ve already eaten, I’m not hungry. This is all for you, how about you try it quickly?” Fu Ke looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Lu Xun then took it, but looked at Fu Ke: “Did you really eat it?”
Fu Ke rolled her eyes and said unhappily: “Don’t I know whether I have eaten or not? I have plenty of food, why would I starve myself?”
Speaking of which, it seemed to be true.
Lu Xun then started to eat. The egg pancake had the fragrance of the water spinach. The thin egg pancake was very chewy and tasted very refreshing.
The omelet itself had no other flavor, and it tasted even better after being dipped in the sauce.
“There’s also minced meat and tofu, try that too.” Fu Ke didn’t need to ask him how it tasted, she could tell from his expression that it tasted very good.
Unfortunately…she couldn’t eat it.
Fu Ke was very resentful. Why was she still a zombie after her rebirth? If it weren’t a zombie, she could have tasted her cooking skills.
The tofu was very tender and the flavor was completely integrated into the tofu. He scooped a spoonful with a small spoon and found tofu, soup, minced meat and chopped green onions. When you put it in your mouth, you couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Eat quickly, I’ll go wash the pot. By the way, you are going out to find supplies tomorrow, right?” Fu Ke walked into the kitchen and put all the bowls and pots that had been used to hold the dishes together to wash them.
“Yeah, that’s right. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning. I won’t come over for lunch. I need to make good use of the time to train.” While eating, Lu Xun was thinking about giving half of the crystal cores he dug out to Fu Ke.
However, looking at Fu Ke who was busy washing the pot, he secretly put a few egg pancakes into his sleeves.
He had already put on his spring clothes, but he only put them in his sleeves, and his arms were uncomfortable with the pancakes sticking to them. However, he still endured the uncomfortable feeling and ate faster.
Fu Ke paused slightly, then continued as if nothing had happened.
After Lu Xun finished eating, he went over to help wash the dishes. When washing, it was inconvenient because there was something in his sleeves, and his movements were very awkward.
Fu Ke pretended not to see it.
Lu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he came out of the exclusive restaurant. He was afraid that Fu Ke would find out and be unhappy, but he also felt uncomfortable eating alone while everyone was hungry.
However, there were not more than ten egg pancakes, and it was impossible for everyone to get one. So Lu Xun just took it back and gave it to the people in his class. Although there was only one card for a team, each person would get only a tiny piece.
But while eating the omelets, everyone in the class shed tears.
“Sergeant, where did this come from?” someone asked curiously.
“Eat yours. You’ll know later. If you want to eat good food, work hard to kill zombies. Dig out the crystal cores in the zombies’ heads, and you’ll have good food to eat.”
Lu Xun didn’t say where it came from, but it was impossible to hide it. So he just said it directly.
Fortunately, the cooled omelet did not emit any smell. So except for the people in Class 16, no one else knew.
“Crystal cores can be exchanged for food? Where can I exchange them?”
Wasn’t this the same as what was written in the novel, that crystal cores would become trading currency in the future?
“You’ll know when the time comes.” Lu Xun refused to mention it. Everyone knew that he would occasionally go out to kill zombies. So he was deeply touched.
Because they guessed that this was the food that the squad leader exchanged for the crystal cores of the zombies he killed.
Except when finding that Lu Xun was a person with superpowers, for the first time, everyone was truly convinced of him. If it were them, even if they knew that they could use crystal cores to exchange for food, they might not necessarily use their crystal cores to exchange for food for everyone.
Ten egg pancakes were not expensive before the end of the world, but now was the end of the world.
When Fu Ke saw that Lu Xun brought back the egg pancakes for his classmates, she raised her eyebrows slightly. But she did not comment on Lu Xun’s behavior.
But looking at the touched expressions on Class 16’s faces, it seemed like a good thing?
Forget it, she would just pretend she didn’t know.
She then stretched and counted the crystal cores in the space. Fu Ke then looked out the door sadly, supporting her chin. They won’t set off until tomorrow.
