Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 185 Nudou dies!
After watching the movie, Lu Xian and Yao Wei were silent for a while.

Lu Xian asked, "I didn't fall asleep in this movie. Let's watch another one?"

But Yao Wei glanced at the lower right corner of the screen and said, "The battery is almost out."

Lu Xian sighed helplessly: "The battery of this old computer is not durable."

Yao Wei didn’t know how long the battery of her brand new computer would last, but she was quite satisfied with it now. She could watch a whole movie in just one day of sunbathing.

Anyway, now this computer is only turned on at night when I go to bed, and it won’t be on for long.

Showing a movie like tonight is already an exception.

She silently turned off the computer, lay down, covered herself with the sheets, and said, "Go to sleep."

Both of them lay down, their hands on the center console, holding the fungus stone, but sleepiness came a little slowly.

Lu Xian was still thinking about the plot in the computer, thinking about the plot in the play, and said: "Should we try making noodles tomorrow?
"I forgot before that corn can also be ground into flour."

Yao Wei said, "But I don't have that bag."

She was talking about the seasoning packet.

The characters in the movie picked up a seasoning packet, but had no noodles, so they saved the packet and planted grains from the collected bird droppings.

After the grains mature and corn grows, grind them into flour, cut them into balls and strips, cook them, add seasoning packets, and have a delicious meal.

When Lu Xian and Yao Wei saw this scene, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Lu Xian said: "It doesn't matter, we have oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, which are also seasonings, we can adjust the taste ourselves.

"Make a good meal tomorrow so you can start working after you're full."

"Ah."

After hearing what Lu Xian said, Yao Wei stopped making suggestions, closed her eyes, and said, "Go to sleep."

She was a little impatient to go to bed at this time and was looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast.

The next morning, after getting up and solving his personal problems, Lu Xian took out two ears of corn, peeled off the kernels, and rubbed them into powder with his hands.

There is nothing we can do about it.

In the movie, the protagonist found a mortar and a pestle on a deserted island. He put corn kernels into the mortar and used the pestle to grind them into powder.

But now Lu Xian and Yao Wei don’t have such tools. They do have a stick to replace the pestle, but the problem is that they don’t have a stone bowl. If they use a bowl or a pot instead, it is likely to be broken by the stick.

So it’s better to rub it directly with your hands.

As Type A new humans, rubbing the corn kernels into powder with their hands is actually a very easy and labor-saving task for the two of them.

Moreover, they don’t need a specific place to do this. They can do it directly in the car, and they don’t have to worry about the wind blowing away the newly kneaded flour.

Also, with their strength and perfect control over their own power, the flour they knead out is extremely fine, much better than the flour pounded by the protagonist in the movie.

Kill two birds with one stone, perfect!

After the flour is kneaded, the next step is to mix the dough.

The flour is rubbed directly into the pot, and the water is added directly into the pot.

Lu Xian hadn't eaten noodles by himself for a long time, and he had never made noodles by himself, not to mention that there was no white flour now, only pure cornmeal.

It was extremely difficult to put the noodles together, and he couldn't grasp the proportions, so he could only rely on brute force to create miracles. At the same time, he asked Yao Wei to add water again and again based on his feeling, and he also had to avoid using too much force and breaking the pot.

When the dough is finally formed and shaped, it looks just barely there.

But even so, Lu Xian and Yao Wei were satisfied enough.

Lu Xian pressed the dough, and a small indentation the size of a fingertip appeared in the dough. It felt both hard and soft, which was quite strange.

"Come and try."

He spoke to Yao Wei.

Yao Wei pressed it carefully, as if she was afraid of damaging the dough.

In this short while, she had witnessed the entire process of an ear of corn from a corn cob to powder and then to dough.

Although she only used some strength in the beginning when peeling the corn and kneading the flour, and was just helping out later, even so, after witnessing the changes from beginning to end with her own eyes, she still treasured this ball of cornmeal very much.

Lu Xian looked at the dough again and sighed, "I originally wanted to try making ramen, but looking at how soft and hard it is, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Cut it into strips and cook it directly in the pot."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded. She was already very satisfied to be able to eat noodles made of corn. She was fine with ramen or other noodles and had no objection at all.

So at Lu Xian's instruction, she got out of the car to build a pile of firewood to make a fire, and after the fire was lit, she set up a pot to boil water.

While waiting for the water to boil, she and Lu Xian picked up the dough from the pot, rolled it into strips, and put it in the wok first.

But this way, the noodles will be of different lengths and thicknesses.

They could control their own strength, but they had no control over the pure cornmeal dough, so they could only let it be, rolling it into whatever length it wanted. Even if some broke in the middle, it didn't matter; they could still eat it, no matter how long it was.

After all the dough was pinched and rolled into strips, the water in the pot was almost boiling. Lu Xian picked up the wok, put the noodles into the pot, stirred them with Yao Wei's chopsticks, and covered the pot with the wok as a lid.

After covering it for a while, I heard a sizzling sound coming from the pot.

Lu Xian lifted the wok and handed it to Yao Wei. He saw that the water in the pot had turned yellow, and the yellowish bubbles in the white were surging upwards with the water temperature, about to overflow the pot.

Lu Xian blew twice, and the foam dispersed and fell, quickly disappearing.

But after stopping blowing, the foam gradually rose again, and it seemed that it would overflow out of the pot in the next step.

Lu Xian glanced at Yao Wei and said with a smile, "Why don't you try?"

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and blew into the pot. Seeing the foam dissipate and rise again, she blew again. After waiting for a while, the foam rose again, so she blew again.

Just like that, the job of watching the pot fell into Yao Wei's hands. Lu Xian kept watching from the side. After a while, he felt that it was almost done. He scooped out a noodle with chopsticks, took the bowl and said to Yao Wei, "Try it?"

Yao Wei took the bowl and chopsticks, scooped up the noodles with the chopsticks and put them into her mouth.

It has a bit of the sweetness of corn, is soft, and has a bit of elasticity. It is very comfortable to chew, a completely different feeling from other foods.

"How about it?"

Lu Xian asked.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded, feeling good.

"Is it cooked?"

Lu Xian asked again.

"It should be done..."

Yao Wei thought about it and made an unconfident judgment.

She didn't taste it, she just felt that it was edible.

Lu Xian had no choice but to let Yao Wei give him the bowl. He scooped up a noodle, bit off half of it, and felt and looked at the cross-section of the noodle.

"Just cook it a little longer."

He makes judgments.

So Yao Wei continued to watch the pot.

Lu Xian remembered something and brought over a bag of dehydrated vegetables.

After the noodles in the pot are cooked, remove the pot from the heat, put the wok on the fire, heat the oil, add soy sauce and salt and stir-fry, then add water to make the sauce, add the dehydrated vegetables, and after they are melted, remove from the heat.

In this way, the extremely simple sauce and side dishes are ready.

If this had happened in his previous life, he probably wouldn't even look at it, but to him now, it was an extremely rare delicacy.

He scooped a bowl of noodles for Yao Wei, added the sauce and vegetables, poured some vinegar on it, mixed it well, and handed the bowl to Yao Wei. Lu Xian said, "Come."

Yao Wei reached out to take it, picked up just one noodle and put it in her mouth. The feeling was very different from before.

After being thoroughly cooked, the noodles tasted much better than before. With the seasoning made by Lu Xian and the boiled dehydrated vegetables, the taste was very good.

This gave Yao Wei an experience she had never had before.

She ate a lot, one bite after another. She looked up and saw Lu Xian looking at her. She said, "You eat too."

Lu Xian said, "I'll wait and see if you want to eat it. If you don't, I'll pour the remaining noodles into the stir-fry pan and eat them directly with the stir-fry pan."

Yao Wei said, "Just eat it directly. I'll want to eat more later. Just eat it in the stir-fry pan."

Lu Xian didn't wait any longer and directly took out the remaining noodles and put them into the wok.

He ate the noodles with particular relish. It was a food he had not enjoyed for a long time, and it was made from scratch by him and Yao Wei himself. He was eating delicious food and also felt a sense of accomplishment.

It feels very different!
He had almost finished his meal, and Yao Wei had already finished her bowl of noodles. She didn't even want to give up the toppings, so she picked up the bowl and drank it all.

Lu Xian asked her if she wanted to eat more, and she started eating with Lu Xian.

This way, the two of them could eat from the same pot, which was quite interesting. As they ate, she and Lu Xian looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

However, Yao Wei felt that she had almost finished her meal and did not eat much more. She took a few bites and left the rest to Lu Xian.

After Lu Xian finished eating the noodles, he picked up the wok and followed Yao Wei's example, pouring a big mouthful of the topping into his mouth.

This would have been absolutely impossible in his previous life. The toppings would always be left over, and he would basically not touch them.

But now it’s different. Every bit of food cannot be wasted.

He and Yao Wei shared the topping soup and drank it. He smacked his lips and said, "It's a bit salty."

"Ah."

Yao Wei also nodded, agreeing with Lu Xian's evaluation.

"Then drink the noodle soup."

Lu Xian added, "There used to be a saying that the original soup can dissolve the original food, making it easier to digest."

"it is good."

Yao Wei had exactly this in mind and agreed readily.

So the two of them shared the noodle soup.

After drinking it, the meal is completely over.

After clearing away the pots and pans, the two got in the car. Lu Xian held the steering wheel with one hand and rubbed his stomach with the other. He sighed deeply and said, "Comfortable!"

"Ah."

Yao Wei also nodded, agreeing with Lu Xian's feelings. She also rubbed her lower abdomen.

Her flat belly was slightly bulging. It was always like this after she had a full meal. Lu Xian always liked to glance at her belly at this time, thinking it looked pretty good.

But after just a glance, Lu Xian retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, now that we've had enough to eat and drink, it's time to set off. The next stop is Luo Ping. I hope I'm lucky enough and nothing bad will happen."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded again and said, "It will be fine."

Lu Xian smiled: "Yes, our luck has always been good."

"Ah."
