After the two returned to their residence together, Gu Nian went into the kitchen, took out the liquefied gas stove and cooking utensils, and started cooking dinner.
Because he exchanged a lot of ingredients from the mysterious merchant last time, Gu Nian specially cooked several delicious dishes.
She made braised rapeseed with dace in black bean sauce, spicy and sour cucumbers with a crisp texture, and steamed okra eggs that can supplement protein.
The staple food is the golden-flavored milky hand cakes on both sides that she bakes herself, paired with the soft and delicate white porridge.
After cooking a few delicacies, Gu Nian and Lin Chen were just about to start the meal when there were knocks on the door outside.
It turned out to be young Yunfeng.
"Brother, sister, haven't you had dinner yet? I brought it to you..."
Yunfeng specially brought Gu Nian and Lin Chen nutritional supplements processed from potatoes and taro cultivated in the agricultural base of the refuge.
Yunfeng stood at the door, holding a nutrient supplement in his hand and sniffing.
This boy, who had never eaten anything other than nutritional supplements since he was weaned, sniffed hard under the influence of the delicacies cooked by Gu Nian. He couldn't hold it back and drooled.
When I saw the delicious food on the table, I suddenly felt that the sticky nutrients in my hands no longer tasted good.
Seeing Yunfeng's appearance, Gu Nian found it funny and felt a little sad and pity at the same time. He said to Yunfeng, "We are about to have dinner. If you haven't eaten yet, would you like to come and have something to eat together?"
"
"Ah I……"
Only then did Yunfeng realize that he was drooling.
He blushed in embarrassment, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and swallowed again.
"Can I really eat this with you?"
He thought, these delicious-smelling foods that he had never seen before must be very precious, right?
"Okay. You sit down first and I'll bake some more cakes." Gu Nian said with a smile.
Yunfeng blushed and sat down next to the table as if in a dream.
He thought that without eating, just breathing in the aroma and looking at the vivid green color of the food on the plate would be tempting enough.
Yunfeng drooled while staring at the food on the table that he had never seen before, while looking into the kitchen.
Not long after, he was greeted by Gu Nian, who was carrying a plate of hand-made cakes.
"Let's eat together. Yunfeng, you're welcome!"
Yunfeng agreed with a smile on his face, but was stunned when he discovered that Gu Nian and Lin Chen actually picked up the two small wooden strips placed next to the plate.
"You...this is?!"
Gu Nian then remembered that since Yunfeng had never seen food other than nutritional supplements, he must not be able to use chopsticks. He might even have never seen one.
"This is a popular tableware over there. It's called chopsticks. Let me teach you how to use it."
Gu Nian said and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Lin Chen.
"Ma'am, you've worked hard to cook. It's better to leave this kind of trivial matter to your husband." As Lin Chen said this, he quickly stood up and walked to Yun Feng's side, teaching him how to use chopsticks step by step.
At first, Yunfeng was very stiff like every foreign friend who learns to use chopsticks for the first time.
In addition, he was not familiar with the food on the plate, so in the end, with Lin Chen's help, he reluctantly put the dishes into his own bowl, held the chopsticks awkwardly, and started to cook.
