Back in the store, Liu Ziru took the pork belly out of his pocket and washed it, and threw it into a pot of boiling water to fly water.

Remove the meat from the area where it changes color, and cut it into cubes of similar size when it is not hot.

Continue to add the meat pieces to the pot and add cooking wine, ginger slices, and shallots to the water.

Let Christina scoop up the foam on the water, and Liu Ziru will cut the green onion and ginger herself.

When the pieces are fully cooked, let Christina remove and drain.

Liu Ziru poured a thin layer of oil into another pot and heated it over low heat.

After a short period of time, the temperature will rise, pour in the rock sugar. The caster sugar melts and turns caramel colored. Continue to heat until there are only a few small pieces of rock sugar left, then turn off the heat immediately.

Next, you need to wait patiently for the pot to cool, if you are in a hurry to pour the meat into the pot, you will be splashed with hot rock sugar.

Pour in the pieces of meat, heat the pan again, stir-fry the pork belly, and let the caramel color slowly coat the pieces of meat.

Once the meat pieces are completely colored, pour in the prepared star anise, ginger slices, dried hawthorn slices, and green onion slices, and stir-fry again.

After stir-frying, pour in boiling water, just over the meat. At this time, add cooking wine, soy sauce, and light soy sauce and bring to a boil over high heat.

Taste it and make sure it's okay. Then put the braised pork into a casserole with the skin side down, and pour in the soup together.

Bring to a boil over high heat and turn to low heat, about half an hour, until the soup is thick and ready to eat.

However, as a professional chef, Liu Ziru naturally has to plate. He blanched some baby greens and placed them at the bottom of the plate as a mattress. Then use chopsticks to pinch out the braised pork and arrange it with the skin facing up.

The braised pork skin is burgundy, and the green color of the vegetables looks particularly appetizing.

The braised pork is placed in the middle, then two bowls of white rice are served, and then a large bowl of kelp soup is served, and this is dinner.

"Taste it." Liu Ziru said to Christina.

Christina picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully.

The reason why braised pork belly is used is because of the fat and lean characteristics of pork belly.

It's delicious, and Christina, after eating it, came to such a conclusion. However, she dared to eat it when she saw Liu Ziru doing it, otherwise she wouldn't dare to taste such braised pork, even if it was delicious.

Because, in this way, almost all the flavors of the ingredients themselves are covered, and even the touch is decorated with seasonings.

Who knows what the ingredient itself looks like? If it were here, someone might use meat that was about to spoil to reduce costs.

And in the wasteland, it is possible that someone will make it out of human flesh. After all, after doing this, you can't see what the meat itself looks like at all.

Christina asked Liu Ziru about this.

Liu Ziru nodded and said, "You're right, it's true that some shops outside do just that." Maybe there is less pork, and the meat that is about to spoil is more suitable to make steamed buns. On the contrary, be careful with the braised fish. If it's a live fish, be sure to have it slaughtered in front of the shopkeeper.

If they are finished weighing it and take it to the back kitchen, it is likely to be replaced with dead fish. The braised grilled food can mask the flavor of the ingredients themselves, and when they are done, no one can taste the taste of the fish itself.

As for the human flesh you mentioned, you may have it on your side, but you haven't heard of it here. I remember that you had a seller of lizard skewers, and they sold ginseng and human flesh in lizard skewers.

Eventually, he fell ill and died of eating too much human flesh. ”

"How do you know?" Christina asked, picking up another piece of braised pork.

"What you're playing in the game is the previous game of Fallout 4 that you're playing right now." Liu Ziru took a sip of soup and said.

"Oh......" Christina didn't speak for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking.

She may be thinking that what she has almost experienced turns out to be just a game plot in the eyes of others.

However, she didn't stay bored for long, and soon cheered up again and ate the braised pork in front of her.

"One more bowl." Christina said.

Liu Ziru served Christina another bowl, and she finished her meal in a few bites.

"Whoever finishes eating lasts washes the dishes." After Liu Ziru finished speaking, he sat aside and continued to write on his mobile phone.

It stands to reason that a small device like a mobile phone is not very suitable for entering a large amount of text. But I don't know why, Liu Ziru is just a mouthful, and he can write things with his mobile phone.

As he sat upright in front of the computer, he felt uncomfortable. Not to mention continuing to write, even opening the text editing software is enough to make him uncomfortable.

Christina finished eating and brushing the bowls, sat next to Liu Ziru, and asked, "Store manager, you taught me to cook like this, let me study, and let me eat such delicious food, don't you feel a loss?" ”

"What's to lose?" Liu Ziru put down her phone and looked at Christina.

"It's just ......," Christina couldn't think of a good way to put it for a while.

Liu Ziru looked at her tangled appearance and said with a smile, "Don't think about it. You just treat me as a person who uses your salary to let you eat, live and study. Now in these days, cat food and dog food for cats and dogs are more expensive than human food, don't think about it. ”

Christina felt that there was something wrong with Liu Ziru's words, but she didn't know what was wrong. She said, "I will definitely work hard, study hard, and repay you!" ”

Liu Ziru laughed when he heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you want, I don't mind." ”

Christina was about to continue saying something when she suddenly yawned

Liu Ziru then remembered that the great god opposite him had played a game all night last night, and it was likely that he hadn't slept for two days and a night, and he said, "Okay, go to bed quickly." ”

"I ...... I'm not sleepy......" Christina's yawning continued, and she said, "shop...... Long...... I'll ...... first. I slept ......."

"Go, go, go." Liu Ziru said that he was really afraid of Christina, because he hadn't slept for too long, and he died suddenly.

He even thought about the news headline if she died suddenly, "In the sudden death of a girl from another world, what did the black-hearted store manager who was not as good as a beast do?" ”

"Poof!"

Christina fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

Won't you be a crow's mouth, Liu Ziru hurriedly stepped forward to check, tried his snort, and made sure that Christina was still alive.

After waiting for a while, he even snored.

Liu Ziru tried to pick her up and get her back into the house, however, it was difficult, this Christina looked quite slim, but she was dead, Liu Ziru tossed for more than ten minutes, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and she got her to the edge of the stairs.

Just as he was trying to get her upstairs, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

"You're a beast!" With the doorbell rang, it was Zhao Shanghe's voice, he walked up to Liu Ziru and said, "What do you want to do when you knock her down?" What a beast! I like it though. ”

"What are you doing here?" Liu Ziru asked.

Zhao Shanghe's number of radiation canteens in the past 20 years or so will not exceed ten times. According to him, he always felt that something was wrong with the Radiant Cafeteria. As soon as you come here, it feels cold and eerie.

"It's nothing, just come and see the goddess. However, I said freely, what are you doing here? I think you're an upright person, and I'm telling you, you can't do that. Zhao Shanghe pulled Liu Ziru away as he spoke.

Liu Ziru unceremoniously pushed the kid and said, "What do you want?" She was so sleepy that she fell asleep, and I was going to carry her upstairs. ”

Zhao Shanghe smiled shyly, "I understand, I understand, when I was in the first year of junior high school, I took my female classmates home, and when my father saw it, I used it." My freedom, you've finally grown up. ”

"Get out." Liu Ziru kicked Zhao Shanghe, picked up Christina and went upstairs.

The wooden steps creak every time you step on them, and the people above them always feel like they're going to collapse.

However, Liu Ziru can use his twenty years of life experience to guarantee that this place will definitely not collapse, it will definitely be good, and there will be absolutely no problems.

Don't look at the whole house like a dangerous house, in fact, this house is very strong, grandpa even said that it would be okay if a nuclear bomb fell here, of course, Liu Ziru didn't believe it. He once wanted to verify it, but even if he did get a nuclear bomb, he probably wouldn't dare to blow it up.

Carrying Christina back to her own room and covering the quilt, Liu Ziru came out and closed the door, and found that at the end of the corridor, Zhao Shanghe was lying on the window and looking down.

The flame of the cigarette flickered on and off with each inhale.

Liu Ziru walked up to Zhao Shanghe and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Zhao Shanghe spread his hands and said, "Come to her." Really came to her. By the way, what's her name and where is she from? ”

"Christina, Californian." Liu Ziru replied.

"Californians can't blame it." Zhao Shanghe shook his head in a tricky way, as if he could deduce a lot of things by mentioning a place name.

"That's right. Are there rats in your house? Zhao Shanghe asked.

"Rats? How can there be rats? Liu Ziru said, "Don't look at this house and get old, I have never seen a mouse or a cockroach since I was a child." Do you remember, the first time I saw cockroaches, it was when I was at your house. ”

"It's also ......" Zhao Shanghe nodded, he turned around and said meaningfully, "Then what do you see under my feet?" ”

"Your feet?" Liu Ziru took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone the position under Zhao Shanghe's feet.

There was indeed something at the foot of Zhao Shanghe, but it was not a living thing, but a stone.

After careful discernment, it was found that this was not an ordinary stone, and there was a creature carved on it that looked a little like a lion and a cow, and was ugly and cute. Liu Ziru didn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, he straightened up and said, "Why are you stepping on this stone?" ”

"Stones? No way! Zhao Shanghe lowered his head and found that the thing under his feet was indeed a stone, and his face became strange, "Impossible!" Just now I saw it scurrying on the ground, and I just stepped on it, how could the stone be scurrying? No, you really have a problem, I'll go first. When the time comes, if your little girlfriend wakes up, ask her if she would like to come to my part-time job. ”

Zhao Shanghe let go of his feet and walked downstairs quickly.

Liu Ziru also felt strange, he had never seen this stone before. Could it be that Christina put it? I can't.

Liu Ziru thought about it while sending Zhao Shanghe downstairs, and when Zhao Shanghe left, he closed the roller shutter of the store.

When he had finished the first floor and went upstairs to see what was on the stone again, he couldn't find it.

It's weird, can the stone still fly with long legs? He thought of what Zhao Shanghe said just now, and thought of what his grandfather had said yesterday that there would be some small animals in the house.

He decided to contact Grandpa one more time, he must know what these things were all about.

"Do you know what you are like a stone statue of a cow that is not a cow or a lion? Over.”

"See it? Faster than I thought. You ask what that thing is. It's a year beast. Over.”

"Year Beast? Over.” The only thing that can match this word in Liu Ziru's mind is the New Year beast that people drove away during the Chinese New Year.

"Yes, it's the Year Beast. We Chinese are the most familiar mythical beasts. Legend has it that at the turn of the old and new years, it came out to spoil the crops, hurt people and animals, and later someone came up with a way to drive it away with firecrackers, which is the "New Year". Over.”

"How can we have this thing in our house? Over.” Liu Ziru asked, he had been in the cafeteria for so many years, and he had never seen any year beasts.

"It is the least daring, afraid of noise, afraid of fire, afraid of red, less daring than a cat, and at the slightest movement it will immediately petrify itself, more than a tortoise. There is a fire in the cafeteria every day to stir-fry vegetables, and you can see that it has a ghost. Over.”

"Then how am I going to see him today? Over.”

"Well, let's start with the door of the cafeteria. The Year Beast is small, but it has a unique skill that can warp time and space within a certain range. The two year beasts under our door have been projecting the door of the canteen to the wasteland every week. That's how your place gradually becomes a radiant canteen. Over.” The old man said slowly.

Liu Ziru didn't expect that the door of the original canteen could be connected to the wasteland because there were two year beasts under the door. He felt that his worldview had been hit, and it seemed that he had suddenly switched from a science fiction world to a fantasy world.

"That's not right! You just talked about why the door can connect to the wasteland, and you haven't said why they burrow up from the ground. Over.” Liu Ziru realized after a while that he was almost pulled away from the topic.

"Why are you seeing it? It's very simple, you've taken people out of the cafeteria, out of their sphere of influence, and they're afraid of getting into trouble, so they want to send the one you took back to the wasteland. Hurry up and find that little girl, I guess you won't see each other in your life a little later. Over.” Grandpa laughed wildly at the old disrespect, and he laughed and disconnected the radio link.

Liu Ziru heard that the Nian Beast was going to send Christina back to the wasteland world, and thought that Christina was wearing all the clothes here now, and the equipment on the wasteland side was all put away. If the Nian Beast sends her back, whether she can survive or not is a matter of two words.

What's more, what the old man just said, "I will never see you again in this life", has several meanings that can be explained, which makes Liu Ziru panic even more. He didn't want people to die because of himself.

Unusually rushed into Christina's room, there was no one on the bed, and touched a handful of residual body temperature.

It's not far yet!

Liu Ziru turned her head, wondering where the Nian Beast might take her.

It could be the downstairs door!

Thinking of this, Liu Ziru quickly went downstairs.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw two cuboid-like year beasts, carrying Christina to the door. There was a faint glow from their bodies, and they seemed to be activating something.

"Hey!" Liu Ziru shouted loudly, wanting to interrupt what the Nian Beasts were doing.

However, it did not interrupt, but the light dimmed a little.

Liu Ziru remembered that his grandfather had just said that the New Year beast was afraid of fire, noise, and red.

He quickly took out the lighter for ignition, kept shouting, the dim light dimmed a little, and he walked over there.

only to find that there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands, preventing him from passing. If it's gamified, it's a wall of air between him and Christina.

He shouted a little louder, and the lighter pillar was raised a little higher, and the light was a little darker, and he could go a little further.

Although the fire of the gas stove was not small, he was afraid that he would leave, and no one would suppress the Nian Beast, and the Nian Beast would really teleport Christina away.

He desperately thought that there was anything else that could stop the Year Beast.

Wait a minute......

Pregnant!

Liu Ziru thought of something that could stop the Year Beast.

This thing is a bit subtle, though.

This thing is the underwear he wears today.

Well, red panties.

Compared to a human life, taking off your pants is nothing!

Liu Ziru's heart was crossed, he took off his pants, held a lighter, and shouted "Chang Chang Chang" in his mouth, and walked towards Christina.

The dim light emitted by the two year beasts decreased little by little, and Liu Ziru approached Christina step by step.

The distance is less than five steps, but it is as difficult as a 100,000-mile long march.

One step at a time, two steps at a time.

Liu Ziru finally rubbed into Christina's side, and he used a lighter to burn the two year beasts, and the two year beasts were slowly petrified with visible eyes.

Christina lay on the stone beast, like an arched bridge.

Liu Ziru sat next to Christina, sweating profusely, he really tried his best just now. He was really scared that Christina would be teleported back to the wasteland like that.

He touched the year beast under Christina, touching the delicate texture, wondering if he wanted to break these two things into a paste and beat them into adult cakes.

I don't know if the vitality of the beast is strong, if it is strong, it can still live when it hits adult cakes, will it become a rice cake beast?

When Liu Ziru was thinking wildly, the sliding door was suddenly opened.

He looked up and saw that it was Zhao Shanghe's kid outside the door.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Shanghe pointed at Liu Ziru and said.

"Didn't do anything...... Liu Ziru said in a normal tone, and found that things were not quite right. I'm still holding a lighter, and I'm not wearing any pants, so I don't look like I'm doing anything anyway.

"That...... Listen to me! There's a reason for that! Liu Ziru said quickly, when he saw Zhao Shanghe's red soles, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and knew how to tell Zhao Shanghe, he pointed to Zhao Shanghe's soles and said, "It all starts with your red soles......"
