Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character

Jiang Yuan watched this scene with a smile. He didn't think anything of it. Along the way, he had been with Zi Yue as if she were his beloved younger sister. He had always taken care of Zi Yue from the perspective of an older brother.

He felt it was only right for people to show her kindness and give her gifts; Ziyue deserved all the good things in the world.

After leaving the trading market, the group found restaurants and various shops on a nearby street. At this time, any restaurant that could still operate must have a powerful background, but they were said to be quite expensive, which was to be expected.

The group wandered from area B to area C and then to area D. Upon arriving at area D, they found themselves in a greenhouse area, a tent area, and an open-air area. Seeing so many people starving, thin, and ragged, in a chaotic scene, the group couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

However, at least they are in the safe zone; it is unknown how many people are still outside, teetering on the brink of death.

When Ziyue and the others returned, the villa had already been cleaned. Ziyue lived in the easternmost room on the third floor facing south, Shiyu lived in the room next to her, Qin Zhan lived in the westernmost room facing the sun, Jiang Liu lived next to Shiyu, and Jiang Yuan lived next to Qin Zhan.

Ziyue added clothes, daily necessities, furniture, and so on to several rooms.

In this way, things have settled down for now.

It was almost 8 p.m. when Ziyue suggested, "Let's celebrate tonight. We can have a big dinner."

Everyone was happy to see it happen and came to help with the preparations.

Of course, we still need our two chefs, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Liu, to come. As for Shi Yu and Qin Zhan, these two old men, they are just helping out and they even complain that they are causing trouble.

Ziyue also cooked three dishes: salt and pepper eight-treasure chicken, braised pork with preserved mustard greens, and steamed pork ribs with rice flour.

Braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens is one of her specialties and a dish she often enjoys. The pork is incredibly tender and juicy, not greasy at all, and has a rich, refreshing aroma of preserved mustard greens, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice.

She first soaked the dried plum vegetables in water until they softened, then washed them clean and squeezed out the water before using them.

Add Sichuan peppercorns, scallion segments, and ginger slices to the pork belly, put it in a pot of cold water, bring it to a boil, and then cook for 20 minutes. Then take it out and coat it with dark soy sauce for later use.

Heat oil in a wok, place the pork belly skin-side down, and fry until no more sizzling and small bubbles appear on the skin. Remove the pork belly, slice it, and place it in a container. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fermented bean curd sauce, and char siu sauce, mix well, and marinate for 20 minutes. Arrange the pork belly slices in a bowl.

Next, add a little oil to the wok, then add minced scallions, ginger, star anise, and dried chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the preserved mustard greens and stir-fry. Add salt, sugar, chicken essence, and the remaining marinade to season. After the preserved mustard greens are cooked, transfer them to a bowl with the meat, put it in a steamer, and steam over medium-low heat for one hour. Remove and invert onto a plate.

The final dishes included over a dozen dishes such as spicy pig ear slices, fried pearl shrimp, twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu, crystal pumpkin, hot and sour sea cucumber, vinegar-braised cucumber, pan-fried dumplings, and wolfberry stewed old duck soup, almost filling the entire table. Of course, Ziyue's three dishes were also warmly received.

"I never expected my Qingqing to be so virtuous. She can be elegant in the living room and good at cooking in the kitchen. She can kill zombies and slay thugs!" This was the first time Shi Yu had eaten Ziyue's cooking. He really didn't expect her to have such good cooking skills.

Even Qin Zhan nodded in agreement: "It really tastes great." He didn't stop eating with his chopsticks.

"Don't try to fool me with sweet words, I don't cook often!" Ziyue looked at everyone warily.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed as they looked at Ziyue. "Don't worry, it won't be your turn."

"Don't worry, Sister Yueyue, I'm here. If I can't do it, my brother is here too." At this moment, Jiang Liu didn't forget to bring up his own brother. "Hehe, yes, yes, yes." Jiang Yuan also quickly nodded in agreement.

"Hmph!" Ziyue nodded in satisfaction and went to enjoy her meal.

After the meal, Shi Yu and Qin Zhan cleaned up the dishes. Haha, don't doubt it, it was the two of them who cleaned up the dishes. After all, Jiang Liu and Jiang Yuan cooked the meal, so it wouldn't be right to make the two brothers do the cleaning.

This was the pattern when we were still on the way. Of course, quite a few plates did break in the first few days, but luckily we had plenty of inventory in the second month.

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room on the first floor to digest and relax. Ziyue nestled in a white hanging chair by the French windows, swaying back and forth contentedly. "This is life!" she exclaimed.

"Host, you've always been living a life of leisure!" 999 couldn't help but jump out to remind its host.

After all, from the beginning of the apocalypse until now, its host has always been quite leisurely, with no worries about food and drink, someone to cook for it, someone to drive it, ample supplies, high combat power, no life-threatening situations, and has not suffered the slightest bit of hardship.

However, their mission is exactly like this: to ensure that the host's life is not just a background scene, but has its own wonderful moments, allowing them to live as they please, however they want. So, as long as the host is happy, they can do whatever is comfortable and enjoyable.

"That's right, that's more like it. You know, I'm living the life that so many people envy and are jealous of. Even the male and female leads don't have it as good as mine!" Ziyue was proud of her leisurely life. Look how well she was doing.

999 sat on the sofa in the villa, stroking her chubby little chin. To be honest, the male and female protagonists hadn't met yet. One had just been betrayed by a friend, and the other was fighting against a horde of zombies. To be honest, the male and female protagonists were not living as well as their host right now.
