Chen Xin didn't want to delve into what Qin Lan wanted to do. Emotionally speaking, he believed that Qin Lan would not harm him or have any unfavorable thoughts towards him.
Under such a premise, Chen Xin felt that whatever Qin Lan wanted to do was acceptable to him.
If that's the case, then why should he care too much
Originally, Chen Xin didn't want to think about things very much today. He wanted to give himself a day off, but Qin Lan dragged him to work all afternoon. He was already very bored. If he was asked to think about things again, Chen Xin would I felt like I was going to explode.
So he simply gave up thinking and just tidied up the workbench. After cleaning it, he went to wash his hands and get ready to eat.
Although Qin Lan claimed that she was the one cooking, there was actually nothing to cook because there were no ingredients available.
There is indeed a lot of food in Chen Xin's food pantry, but apart from the carrots, cabbage and lettuce he grew himself, there are no other ingredients.
There were only self-heating foods stocked before the disaster, standard shelter foods exchanged from the SWAT team through Qin Lan himself, and the two cans Mo Qingyan gave him in exchange.
Perhaps to save food for Chen Xin, Qin Lan didn't take out many things from Chen Xin's food pantry, but only took two portions of shelter standard food, a box of canned lunch meat, a cabbage and two carrots.
Taking these things back to the living room, Qin Lan saw Chen Xin lying on the sofa still playing games. She didn't say anything, but just walked to the kitchen and started making dinner.
Since the materials were limited, Qin Lan didn't think about making too complicated dishes. She just washed the cabbage and carrots, chopped them up with the lunch meat, and cooked them together.
While she was cooking these, she also heated up two portions of standard shelter food.
These were the standard foods she handed back to Chen Xin for the shelter. In fact, from the perspective of nutrition and calorie supplement, they were still very good foods.
Rice and potatoes are the main ingredients responsible for providing starch, calories and part of the nutrition. Mushrooms and mouse meat can provide the other part and can also provide a certain amount of animal protein and fat intake.
If these things are simply cooked and seasoned with oil and salt, they are really good as food.
In particular, it also comes with two energy bars made of fried noodles and chopped nuts. Just such a portion of food is enough for an adult to maintain his nutritional and caloric needs for a day.
For children, it may be overwhelming.
But the texture and taste of these foods... Qin Lan can only say that in the end of the world, we can't force it.
Of course it's okay if the rice is just cooked, and the potatoes are okay too. It's just seasoned with a little salt so it's not unpalatable. Even if it tastes a little worse, it's manageable.
But mushrooms and mouse meat are only boiled in water... Qin Lan herself doesn't like the taste of cooked mushrooms.
As for the fried noodles made into energy bars, this is not fried noodles, but directly fried flour.
Mix the chopped nuts into the flour, add a little salt and fry it directly. Use the oil from the chopped nuts to make the fried flour have a certain stickiness without being too loose. Finally, use a mold to press it into shape. This is this recipe. The process of making energy bars from the shelter’s standard food.
This is because this food is supplied to their SWAT team, so there are two energy bars in it, while the food distributed to the general public in the shelter only has one energy bar.
In official shelters, in order to save supplies, only people who are engaged in manual labor or have jobs outside the home can receive the model with two energy bars.
This kind of energy bar is also very simple to eat. After breaking it into pieces, add some water to mix it up. After mixing it together, you can eat it directly. If it is not too cold, you can use hot water.
Seventy years ago, when Yanguo was founded, during the war that broke out on the peninsula with the Federation, the ancestors of the Volunteer Army ate this kind of thing. Of course, the fried noodles eaten by the ancestors of the Volunteer Army did not contain chopped nuts.
A bite of fried noodles is paired with a bite of snow. The fried noodles are made from fried flour.
There were four energy bars in the two standard shelter foods. After Qin Lan thought for a moment, he added two of them to the vegetable soup that was being cooked.
As she stirred, the originally clear vegetable soup became sticky and turned into vegetable paste.
She didn't open the remaining two energy bars, she just put them there.
The vegetable paste is cooked quickly, and the heated food is also heated quickly, releasing the aroma of the food.
Putting the food on the coffee table, Qin Lan tapped Chen Xin's leg: "It's time to eat. Let's play later."
Chen Xin put down the game controller as he was told, stood up and washed his hands before coming back to prepare for dinner.
"Alan, you are good at cooking! I remember you could only cook instant noodles before." Chen Xin looked at Qin Lan's hot food and the well-cooked vegetables, and did not hesitate to praise him.
In the past, Qin Lan didn't care about the quality of his life because of his work. Moreover, the SWAT team itself often needed to go on missions, and the meal times were not fixed. Most of the time, all he could eat was cold takeout.
At that time, although Qin Lan looked beautiful and had a very fit figure due to intensive training, plus the temperament bonus of a female SWAT sniper, she seemed to be a perfect woman, but in fact her personal life was very Oops.
The house looks clean and tidy, but she calls the housekeeper to clean it every week; the kitchen is spotless, but she doesn't enter the kitchen once a month...
At that time, the only thing Qin Lan knew how to do was cook instant noodles.
So seeing that Qin Lan can now cook a pot of vegetable paste that smells good, Chen Xin really feels that her cooking skills have improved a lot.
Qin Lan was not happy about Chen Xin's praise. Instead, she puffed up her face and hummed: "You look down on people too much, right? Don't you just have an intermediate chef certificate? Now you can only do the same thing." You don’t even have to cook instant noodles to eat these!”
"Yes, yes, I'm just a chef who can't even cook instant noodles now. Thank you, Miss Police Officer, for your great mercy and cooking for me." Chen Xin smiled indifferently. In his opinion, Qin Lan's little emotion was just It can add to her charm.
Seeing Qin Lan's bulging face, it was difficult for Chen Xin to resist the urge to reach out and pinch her cheeks.
Of course Qin Lan could tell what Chen Xin wanted to do. When they were together in the past, Chen Xin especially liked to tease her, and then pinch her face when she was unhappy.
Thinking of this, Qin Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and rolled her eyes at Chen Xin angrily: "Okay, hurry up and eat, it will get cold soon." (End of Chapter)
