Chapter 40 Fish Balls

Both of them have experienced the close calls of death, especially for a tough soldier like Liao Rui, whose psychological quality is extraordinary. When he returned to the construction site of the independent camp at night, his mood had calmed down, just like usual.

Even if you have a hundred skills, you still have to live day by day.

There were some big grapefruits in the backpack. The grapefruits had thick skins and could be stored for a few more days. After dinner, she cut a few grapefruits and shared the flesh with everyone. Xue Miao did not waste the remaining grapefruit skins. She used the traditional method to refine sugar from the sugarcane that Fan Zhi brought back last time. She also had a lot of honey in her hands. With all the ingredients, she made some honey grapefruit tea for everyone to drink.

Remove the white sac from the grapefruit skin and cut it into strips. Boil it in water to remove the astringency. First add sugar and then honey. After cooling, the honey grapefruit tea glowed golden under the light. When soaked in water, it was sweet with the special fragrance of grapefruit. Xue Miao sealed a few small pottery jars and gave them to the sisters in the original dormitory. They were warmly welcomed by everyone.

Unexpectedly, the warriors also like it very much. Although there is no winter in the south, there is less rain in the dry season, and the nights are also a bit cool. After dinner, they make a pot of honey grapefruit tea and drink it down with a slurp. It warms the stomach and sweetens the heart.

When I sent Xue Miao back to the dormitory at night, it was time for a routine conversation. We stopped in an empty field with no cover within 200 meters so no one could eavesdrop. Liao Rui led the conversation this time. "When do you usually go into your restaurant?"

"I just sneak in under the mosquito net in the middle of the night to cook and organize things."

"Keep it up. I'll collect some things for you and put them in when I find a safe transfer station. Remember, we all live in a big collective. You can only put the things in there and can't take them out."

"You are the only one who is smart. Before you knew it, I never took anything out except the time I saved you." Xue Miao said unconvinced.

"You're not that stupid. Just think of it as raising a Pixiu that doesn't breathe."

"Only eat, no poop?" If you say something wrong, you'll get hit on the head.

"Young girl, can you be more elegant? You only go in and never go out."

"Whether the crops are good or not depends on the manure. You are the only one who can pretend." Xue Miao replied to him. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She glanced at Liao Rui and didn't say anything. Liao Rui pulled her braid and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Xue Miao lowered her head and rubbed the grass under her feet. She said, "You knew I had memories of the afterlife in the cave, but you never asked me. Don't you want to know some key information about the afterlife from me?"

The man's voice was firm, "Not only do I know you have memories of the afterlife, I also know that in your memories, the memories of the afterlife dominate, but..." He paused.

"But what?" Xue Miao looked up at him. Liao Rui's eyes were shining in the night, like the eyes of the beast king in the forest. His eyes looked down on everything and even had a layer of indifference. "Why do you ask? Do I need to cheat?"

Xue Miao's long eyelashes fluttered. "Oh," after a long tone, he changed the subject. "I see that you like honey grapefruit tea and sweet and sour wild boar ribs. Fan Zhi said that you didn't share any of the peanut butter he brought back last time, and kept it all for yourself. So do you like sweet food? I tell you, I will make a lot of desserts, such as a soft and melt-in-the-mouth cake, with banana and egg yolk as the main ingredients. The sauce is poured on the cake as soft as a cloud..."
