Chapter Twenty-Three: Morning Soup Dumplings

Earth, the warehouse of the Nanhe District of Xia City.

It was just a breath of effort, in the 'laboratory' of the warehouse, when a blue luster gradually spread with the magnetic field environment arranged in the laboratory, Xu Ran's figure also appeared.

The moment he appeared, Xu Ran still maintained the same state as when he rode his bicycle through the space gate in the fragmented city, and he had not yet come back to his senses.

Because the time it took to travel through the parallel Blue Star World this time was much shorter than before, so that Xu Ran was still in the expected state of the previous times.

So when the bicycle shuttled back to the earth from the blue light, Xu Ran still rode on the bicycle and walked forward with inertia.

Chirping!

However, when he came back to his senses and saw that he was about to hit the wall, Xu Ran suddenly pinched the handbrake of the bicycle.

The brakes were a bit rushed, but the bike came to a steady stop and rested against the wall.

But Xu Ran's body still jumped forward half a section with inertia, and in order to avoid hitting his nose, Xu Ran quickly lowered his head the moment he hit the wall.

Bang!

At that moment, Xu Ran's head hit the wall, and although he protected his nose, his head hurt from the blow, making him dizzy and dizzy.

didn't get up and pat the dust on his body, Xu Ran sat quietly in place and rested for a while, and the dizziness gradually disappeared.

I just touched my head, but I still picked up a bag, and it still hurt a little to the touch.

However, this bruise did not hinder Xu Ran, he had been fighting with Qiangzi and his group of orphanage-born teenagers since he was a child, and he had suffered more injuries than this at that time.

Xu Ran looked at the backpack he brought out, and the jewelry he had collected and brought back was the same, but the strange stone specimen that he had worked so hard to knock down was missing.

I encountered this situation last time, but Xu Ran's attention was attracted by other things at that time, so he didn't notice that the strange stone specimen the size of a soybean was missing.

And this time, Xu Ran deliberately knocked down a strange stone cup about the size of an egg, but the result was also unexpected, and the stone specimen also disappeared.

Xu Ran speculated that the stone with magical energy should be a product unique to that parallel blue star world, and it is estimated that he could not bring it back to Earth, or he could not carry it in the wrong way.

didn't think about these problems for a while, Xu Ran wiped the bicycle briefly and put it at the door of the warehouse to wait for his sister to come and ride tomorrow morning.

He had only seen the earth time for less than ten minutes, but he had been busy in the fragmented city for six or seven hours, and such a time difference would bring Xu Ran a lot of convenience in the future.

There are four one-cube water storage tanks in the warehouse, and since they were bought and put away, Xu Ran fills them with tap water whenever he is free, and now three cans are full.

Those PE water storage tanks all have a faucet, Xu Ran took off his clothes, unscrewed the top faucet, stood directly below and took a simple cold shower, and then went to sleep.

……

Early the next morning.

Xu Ran still slept until he woke up naturally at about seven o'clock in the morning according to the normal biological clock.

The slight difference is that Xu Ran found that his sleep quality has improved greatly in the past two days, and he no longer has insomnia all night due to pressure from all sides as before.

Now, after Xu Ran wakes up naturally every morning, he will feel full of physical strength and energy, and when he goes out to exercise and comes back, he will be more youthful and energetic, and he will reach an optimal state.

It's just that his sister Zhou Ting seems to have gotten up earlier than him, and the bicycle at the door of the warehouse is gone, so it should be my sister who rode out to buy vegetables.

If my aunt works the night shift, she doesn't come home until the morning every day, and my sister will get up early to make breakfast before going to school, and my aunt doesn't have to cook alone when she comes back, so she can have a good rest after eating.

Since Xu Ran went to college, the pressure on her aunt has been greater, and the sensible little sister will do what she can to help her aunt share some housework in addition to school, and this situation has lasted for several years.

Although Xu Ran strongly asked her aunt to quit her job or do it more easily, her aunt just refused.

Now that the rules of their lives have formed a habit, and it is impossible to change them in a while, Xu Ran plans to use a subtle way to let her aunt slowly adapt to it and unload her psychological baggage.

I came back from a trotting out of workouts, and when I got home, I smelled a fragrance from the direction of the kitchen.

The broth buns made by my sister are delicious, and Xu Ran and my aunt like them very much.

This time, the little sister obviously made a broth bun, Xu Ran was greedy, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she secretly took one out of the steamer, while blowing, carefully biting a bite, a rich soup fragrance rushed straight to the taste buds, full of fragrance, and more stimulating people's appetite.

"Big gluttonous cat, you have to steam it for a while, you will steal it before the time comes!"

Xiaomei was making soup dumplings in the inner room, and after hearing the movement, she saw Xu Ran stealing food, but she didn't blame, she was very confident in her cooking skills, she couldn't help but raise her little head, and said with a smile: "How kind of gluttonous cat, is it so delicious that it almost makes you bite your tongue?"

While it was not too hot, Xu Ran swallowed the bun in one bite, and the hot juice splashed in his mouth, enjoying it very much.

However, he saw that the little sister's hands were full of flour, and he accidentally painted it on his face, so he couldn't help laughing: "I'm a big gluttonous cat, then you are a little flower cat, a mustache is not enough, brother will add another one to you to complete......"

As he spoke, Xu Ran grabbed a pinch of flour, and took advantage of the little sister's inattention to add another one to his face, making her suddenly become a little flower cat.

"Big lazy cat, you're sneaking up on me again!"

The little sister was scratched with a mustache, and she really became a little flower cat, she was also playful under her dissatisfaction, and directly started a sneak attack, foaming a handful of flour on Xu Ran's face, Xu Ran was not to be outdone, and also grabbed the flour and began to fight back.

At that time, the kitchen was full of powder, and the laughter of the brother and sister kept echoing, and it took a while to subside.

Of course, the little sister who is usually used to saving will not allow too much food to be wasted, and the flour war between the brother and sister is limited to the small half bowl of flour on the stove, but it brings a good mood.

When the fight ended, both of them had flour on their faces and teased each other.

The soup dumplings were also steamed at this time, the little sister took off the steamer and took chopsticks to put a few of them on the plate for Xu Ran, and then scooped a bowl of warm red bean porridge and put it on the table next to her, and said, "Brother, don't forget to ship it to netizens after eating!"

"Hmm!"

Xu Ran had already started moving, and his mouth was full of fragrant food, and he didn't care about talking at all.

Like in the past, when the conditions at home were not good, such delicious broth buns and meat-filled dumplings were only eaten during the New Year's holidays, and it was also the most desirable thing for brothers and sisters.

At that time, my aunt was doing it herself, and the brothers and sisters and Qiangzi were staring at the kitchen outside, and they were hungry.

At that time, Qiangzi and Xu Ran would always eat a lot of secrets, so they forgot to leave a few more for the other friends in the orphanage, so their aunt chased and beat them all over the yard with brooms.

Later, my aunt became busier and busier, and she rarely made broth buns by herself anymore.

However, the little sister grew up and was sensible, and in order to eat the delicious broth dumplings often, she kept learning from her aunt, inherited the cooking skills of making broth buns, and once again filled the mouths of Xu Ran and Qiangzi, and continued until Qiangzi left and Xu Ran graduated from high school.
