"Knock knock."

suddenly,

A loud knocking came from the front gate.

Pudding stopped eating and pricked up her ears, looking warily toward the door.

Jiang Li put down the soup bowl in her hand, and she and Ye Jingmo looked at each other with confusion and strangeness in their eyes.

Why would someone be knocking on their door at this hour?

Jiang Li blinked. "Shall we go take a look?"

Ye Jingmo placed the chopsticks on the bowl. "Let's go to the second floor and check the surveillance footage first. If it's someone we don't recognize, we won't go out."

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went up to the second floor together and turned on the monitor screen.

The light outside had dimmed, but one could still vaguely make out that the person outside was wearing a military green uniform and carrying a bag.

The bag seemed a bit heavy, and it felt rather cumbersome in my hands. The leading soldier placed the bag in front of the door.

Ye Jingmo wanted Jiang Li to stay inside and wait for him, as it was snowing outside and going out would be troublesome as she would have to wear several layers of clothing.

However, Jiang Li was afraid that something might go wrong, and thought that going together wouldn't take much time.

Ye Jingmo couldn't go against Jiang Li's wishes.

Jiang Li simply put on two layers of down jackets and went out the door.

Faced with Jiang Li's decisive actions, Ye Jingmo sighed and quickly got dressed to chase after her.

Ye Jingmo opened the door and was greeted by a familiar face.

He was the squad leader of the soldiers who had just organized snow removal.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Ye Jingmo asked politely.

Jiang Li rubbed her hands together to warm them up, as she hadn't put on gloves in her haste to leave.

"Thank you for your help just now. Here are two bear paws and some meat from that black bear."

The squad leader handed the bag in his hand to Ye Jingmo, revealing the frostbite marks on his hands.

"This... is not necessary. I only intervened for my own safety."

Ye Jingmo smiled.

"You saved many people, this small token of gratitude is insignificant."

Soldiers are all very straightforward. The squad leader forcefully shoved the bag into Ye Jingmo's hand and saluted him at the same time.

"After today's incident, the snow removal work will be suspended for two days for reorganization. You can rest at home for two days."

The class monitor added, then turned and left.

"Thank you."

Ye Jingmo closed the door and returned to the villa with Jiang Li.

"Brother Mo, it seems we don't need to worry about the ingredients for the gathering."

These two bear paws can be used to make a dish.

Jiang Li opened the bag and smiled as she looked at the two chubby bear paws inside.

"I might as well freeze it in the snow outside to avoid getting the refrigerator at home dirty."

Ye Jingmo frowned as he looked at the blood in the bag and began to speak.

He sealed the bag and placed it in the igloo by the well, burying it with snow.

When he returned to the house, Jiang Li was gnawing on a chicken leg.

Jiang Li urged Ye Jingmo to sit down at the table quickly. Luckily, she had simmered the soup on a low flame before leaving, otherwise it would have been freezing cold in just a short time.

The tender pork belly dipped in sweet and fragrant sesame sauce is so delicious that you can't stop eating it.

Finally, Ye Jingmo put sweet potato noodles into the pot, and after the noodles became transparent, he first scooped out a bowl for Jiang Li, adding chicken soup and some green vegetables.

Jiang Li ate the delicious bowl of soup noodles, patted her full belly, and sighed contentedly.

"If the bear meat had been delivered earlier, we could have cut it into pieces and cooked it in chicken soup."

I've never tasted bear meat before, I wonder if it's good?

Jiang Li thought of a documentary she had watched before, which mentioned a dish called steamed bear paw.

I was quite curious at the time, but the country doesn't allow it to be eaten, and Jiang Li couldn't possibly break the law.

Unexpectedly, with the apocalypse upon us, she was able to taste bear paws.

She is now looking forward to the day when she will have dinner with the Qin family.
