At noon, Aunt Gu called Jiang Ning to have lunch, but Jiang Ning refused. The mother and daughter were not well off, and he could eat a lot, so he was worried that he would eat them out of money.
Jiang Ning looked at the meat he bought in the morning, a total of three pounds of beef and five pounds of ribs.
Jiang Ning mobilized his spiritual power and tapped the air with his fingertips a few times. A mysterious white disc like a star appeared on the table.
He tapped out a stream of spiritual power, and the disc suddenly turned gently, with wisps of cool air pouring out of it.
This is the most basic formation, which can keep an area at a low temperature. Jiang Ning threw the beef on it, and it would not deteriorate. Its effect is comparable to that of a refrigerator, and it is even more elegant.
The spiritual power he casually released was enough to keep the mini formation running for a day and a night.
Jiang Ning then began to cook the ribs. He waved his hand and the water in the bucket was drawn out into the air and fell to wash the ribs.
While frying, he felt that the induction cooker was not powerful enough, so he used his spiritual power again to light a flame. The flame swirled around in the pan from top to bottom, evenly roasting every part of the ribs.
After the ribs were fried and roasted, the aroma filled the air. Jiang Ning sprinkled the spices he had prepared in advance on the ribs, just like the barbecue restaurants in later generations.
It’s a pity that the pig is an ordinary pig, not a spiritual beast, so it is not of much help to his cultivation. After his cultivation level improves, Jiang Ning will have to think of other ways.
A few fruits were thrown into the air, and the sword energy flashed, just like peeling fruits in a game, cutting them into pieces accurately, the cores were sifted out, and the flesh slowly fell into the plate as if lifted by auspicious clouds.
Jiang Ning waved his hand again, and a fist-sized drop of water gathered in the air, and then the water flow turned into a flat shape.
Jiang Ning shot out a flame, and the terrifyingly high temperature swept through, instantly cooking the water. The boiling water gathered into a stream and flowed into the cup.
The only drawback is that it is not purified water. His current means are unable to purify water and are not as good as industrial water purifiers.
After a simple plating, Jiang Ning's lunch was ready.
Just as they were about to eat, Xue Yuantong came over with a bowl. When he saw the large plate of pork ribs, his eyes widened.
Xue Yuantong came to deliver steamed buns. Her mother steamed some buns yesterday and asked her to deliver them to Jiang Ning. She could have delivered them earlier, but she was browsing the forum for a while longer and delayed her arrival until now.
She planned to see what Jiang Ning had for lunch. If he didn’t eat, she would take him to her house. After all, she had eaten his snacks in the morning, right
For this reason, she was particularly careful while cooking and heated up three more steamed buns so that even if Jiang Ning came, there would not be too little to eat.
But when Jiang Ning came to see him, he found that the food was quite delicious. Xue Yuantong thought about his own lunch and then looked at Jiang Ning's hearty pork ribs, and his mouth was watering.
"Huh? Steamed bun, I was just about to eat this." Jiang Ning was surprised.
He was not being perfunctory. Yuzhou is located in the central part of the country, and residents eat both rice and noodles. Jiang Ning followed the local eating habits, but he preferred steamed buns to rice.
There are steamed buns sold outside, but most of them have additives in them and the taste is not as good as the steamed buns at home. Now seeing the steamed buns sent by Xue Yuantong, he is very happy.
"Thank Aunt Gu for me." Jiang Ning picked up a bowl of pork ribs and handed it to Xue Yuantong:
"Don't refuse. This is called social etiquette."
"Come on!" Xue Yuantong did not refuse. Recently, she felt that her relationship with Jiang Ning had become better and better, which made her feel at ease. Facing such a wise brother, she must help him with his studies in the future and ensure that he got into a 211 university.
Thinking this way, Xue Yuantong felt at ease.
…
In the evening, Jiang Ning left with his bag.
He ran along the dam at a very fast speed for half an hour before arriving at a remote area. There were no street lights nearby, but Jiang Ning's five senses were very sensitive, and under the moonlight, everything he saw was extremely clear.
The transformer box makes a "buzzing" noise, which shows how high the voltage inside is. Ordinary people would fall down and die on the spot if they touched it.
Jiang Ning untied his backpack, took out two cartons of milk, and drank them all in one go.
I feel a little melancholy. In the past, I only needed to swallow two pills to train my body, but now I have to rely on drinking milk to supplement my body.
Jiang Ning completely released his spiritual sense, and could see everything within a radius of 20 meters. His sharp ears faintly detected something unusual. There was something wrong with a tributary of the river below.
He walked towards the water flow. This river was a tributary, about ten meters wide, and perpendicular to the Huishui River. It was not connected to the Huishui River because of a concrete dam.
This small river is responsible for irrigating the surrounding farmland, so its importance is self-evident. When Jiang Ning looked with his spiritual sense, he saw that at the edge of the river, 30 centimeters deep under the water, a water pipe was continuously discharging water.
He mobilized his spiritual power, transformed it into a big hand, grabbed into the water, wrapped the water and dropped it onto the farmland next to it. Suddenly, an unpleasant smell of chemical wastewater emanated.
"Secretly discharging wastewater!" Jiang Ning said to himself.
He looked up, his sight spanning hundreds of meters of farmland to the village in the distance.
In recent years, Yuzhou City has caught companies that discharge sewage privately almost every year, and small companies like this that discharge wastewater privately are everywhere.
There is no other reason, it’s just benefit.
But since Jiang Ning caught him today, he must take care of this matter.
Jiang Ning cast a spell and his entire figure slowly disappeared.
This is the "Hiding Qi Technique", which can conceal the body shape and is similar to invisibility.
But this was just a small trick. Jiang Ning also mastered the secret art of escaping into the void. With the help of a magic weapon to hide his energy, even the consciousness of the Nascent Soul Realm could not detect him.
It's just that I can't use it now.
Jiang Ning used his spiritual sense to identify the water pipe. Twenty steps away from the river bank, he found that the sewage pipe was only covered by a thin layer of mud.
Jiang Ning was thankful that the sewage pipe was not buried deep, otherwise, with his spiritual sense, he would be really helpless.
He locked onto the sewage pipe with his spiritual sense, and then moved towards the village along the direction of the pipe.
The village was dilapidated. After entering the village and moving forward, we saw only deserted houses everywhere. The village seemed like a deserted village in a horror movie.
If Xue Yuantong were brought to this place now, he would probably faint from fright.
Jiang Ning knew the reason. Yuzhou's industry was far less developed than that of the coastal cities. The young and middle-aged people in the village went to work elsewhere, and their families either built houses along the highway or bought houses in Yuzhou City.
After all, two people working in coastal cities can save tens of thousands of yuan a year by living frugally. Some people who have left their hometowns are richer than the working class in Yuzhou city. House prices are not expensive now, and they can buy a house in the city after working for a few years.
Eventually, most people move out of the village, leaving only the elderly to guard the place. After the elderly die, the village naturally declines, and after a few decades, it may no longer exist.
The village in front of us is considered to be in a state of serious disrepair.
Jiang Ning walked through most of the village before he saw two families on the west side of the village, both of whom were inhabited by elderly people.
After walking for a distance, Jiang Ning stopped in the northeast direction of the village. In front of him was a high walled courtyard with machine noise coming from inside.
