Chapter 31 Lu Qian: So, can you hug me?
Leader Germination returned to Lu Qian's mechanical repair shop late at night. The door of the shop was not locked, and it must have been left specially for him.
He walked up to the second floor, opened the door of Han Xiao's room with the key, walked into the room, and closed the door smoothly.
He made himself a cup of Casavala's blue solution and felt the hidden wounds in his body gradually recover.
In the darkness, Leader Germination's eyes reflected the dim light, and he said in a deep voice: "It's almost over."
…
In the early morning of the next day, in the kitchen in the back hall on the first floor of the repair shop, the lights were turned on with a "click" and the darkness was dispelled.
Leader Germination put a few plastic bags on hand on the chopping board.
He really couldn't eat the food that Lu Qian cooked, so he decided to cook it himself and relax while recuperating.
He closed his eyes and recalled the feeling of cooking in the past. He washed his hands and checked the kitchen utensils needed for cooking. He found some unknown liquid black substance at the bottom of the cooking pot.
"What's this?"
He dipped his hand into some black substance at the bottom of the pot, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. The high attributes brought an overall improvement in all aspects of perception, so he could clearly distinguish the burnt smell from the faint smell of the black substance.
Taste, sourness, the special smell of fermented milk and... soy sauce smell?
He squinted and examined the black substance on his finger, and roughly guessed what it was.
He hesitated for a moment, put his finger on the tip of his tongue, took a sip, smacked his lips and tasted it, his expression changed slightly.
This stuff had almost no taste at first, but the aftertaste that followed made him feel like he had eaten corpse oil turned from a highly decomposed animal carcass.
Naturally, this kind of thing could not harm him, so he did not vomit, but directly swallowed the black substance, took a bowl of tap water and rinsed his mouth.
At the same time, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes:
[When you eat [unknown food (butter, soy sauce, vinegar, turquoise powder...)], you trigger the negative state [food poisoning], and your health will be reduced by 3 points in the next 3 hours.]
At level 1, a civilian has an endurance attribute of 1 and a health value of 10.
The average person's level will most likely not exceed level 3, and their health value will not exceed 30 at most.
He only ate a tiny bit, and his health dropped by 3 points.
So, this thing can really kill you.
"Maybe, this can be considered a talent."
Leader Bu Ya shook his head and wanted to pour out the dark food in the pot. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was Lu Qian's labor after all, so it might be inappropriate to throw it out without saying hello.
After all, although the food Lu Qian cooks is unpalatable, she seems to have not realized how amazing her cooking skills are.
In the end, he did not pour out the black fluid in the pot, but found a bowl, poured the black fluid into it, and placed it on the kitchen table.
He cleaned the pot several times to make sure there was no residue.
He took out two pounds of meat from the plastic bag. This was not pork, beef, mutton or other common meats in the other world.
But [Insect Meat].
[Insect meat] is taken from an insect called the Casavalla poisonous insect. This insect is about the same size as a large dog. It is very fat and brightly colored. It seems to be highly poisonous. It lives in Casa in the east of Xizhou.
Huala rainforest area, so it is named Kasawala big poisonous insect.
In fact, the bright color of this insect is just a mimicry to scare predators. It is a kind of imitation and camouflage of poisonous animals. It itself is not toxic at all.
This little trick can fool most predators, but it is impossible to fool humans.
Therefore, this kind of bug was eaten by Aquamarine people and was on the verge of extinction. After its price gradually became too high for most people to bear, artificial breeding began.
Due to limitations in various technologies and food costs, the breeding scale of Casavalla giant poisonous insects is very small.
This means that it is very expensive, up to 280 sea blue coins/jin.
Maybe most people have no idea about this, so just give an example:
In the original work, Lu Qian's salary for Han Xiao was 600 aquamarine coins per month, and she felt distressed for even one cent more.
Even if Lu Qian's business is bad, she at least has a store of her own, so she belongs to the middle-income group, and she is the middle-income group in the capital.
By analogy, 280 Aquamarine coins are roughly equivalent to several months of living expenses for ordinary civilians on Aquamarine Star.
Of course, this little money is nothing in the eyes of the leader.
Speaking of which, the fruits used to brew [Casavala Blue Solution] also come from the Casavalla Rainforest Area.
It was a place with extremely rich products and a paradise for extraordinary creatures.
…
"It smells so good..." Lu Qian followed the smell to the door of the dining room in the back hall on the first floor.
She looked at the door in front of her with a trace of doubt on her face.
"Is the scent coming from here?"
She stretched out her hand to open the door and stepped in. The rich aroma filled her nose. Her eyes swept across the dining table, where a large plate of meat rolls stacked high was placed on the table.
"Let's eat together." Leader Bu Ya said casually, picking up the meat roll with chopsticks as he spoke.
Lu Qian was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and sat down at the table under the temptation of the delicious food. She leaned forward, closed her eyes slightly, and intoxicatedly sniffed the rich aroma in the air.
She glanced at Leader Germination, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up a meat roll.
She noticed that the meat roll was wrapped with a layer of bean skin, which locked in the juice of the meat roll, making it look appetizing.
However, the meat seems to be raw.
She put the meat roll into her mouth and took a bite. The tender and smooth meat immediately poured out from the cracked bean skin. It was very thin and melted in her mouth. The juices overflowed in her mouth. The tenderness of the meat itself and the sauce
The mellow and fragrant juice complements each other, and the chopped green onion fills the mouth with a different kind of light aroma. A little powdery substance that looks like starch falls into the mouth, and the smooth taste becomes a little pink, but it makes the meat more tender and delicious.
, pushing the delicious taste to its peak.
She chewed the meat roll a little, swallowed it, and subconsciously squeaked. Then she realized that Han Xiao's uncle was still beside her, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Wow, this is much more delicious than the girl's!" Old man Lu sat next to Lu Qian at some point and kept putting meat rolls in his mouth as he spoke, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Grandpa!" Lu Qian said angrily.
"Ahem." Old Man Lu put down his chopsticks, touched his bruised right eye, and said, "My granddaughter's cooking is the most delicious."
A smile appeared on the corner of the leader's mouth.
…
After breakfast, Lu Qian took the initiative to wash the dishes.
"Hiccup~!" Old Man Lu leaned back on the seat, burped in an incomprehensible manner, shaved his teeth with a toothpick, looked at the shredded meat picked out on the toothpick, and ate it again
In the mouth.
"I said, Xiaofei, why don't you live here? After all, your profession is quite dangerous, and I'm very worried about you." Old Man Lu said with a smile.
His words were automatically translated into the ears of Leader Germination: "You can stay here, I want to eat and drink for free."
"Don't dream in broad daylight." Leader Germination leaned his head on his arms, looking at the ceiling, thinking about the next thing.
"I think with your skills, you can get a decent position in the 13th Bureau. There is really no need to run around." Old Man Lu spoke sincerely this time. He sat up and stared at the leader of Germination and said:
"Besides, haven't you noticed that your murderous aura has faded away after only one day at my place?"
"Really? I don't think so. I'm still an emotionless killer." Leader Bu Ya replied casually.
"You have really changed, and your mentality seems to be much younger. I, Old Man Lu, am a very good judge of people." Old Man Lu said a little stubbornly.
The leader of the sprouts didn't answer silently.
The two were silent for a while. Old Man Lu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "How about I tell you a story about the Casavalla Rainforest Area."
"Not interested." Leader Germination said in a dull tone.
"I knew you wanted to hear it." Old Man Lu rubbed his hands, not affected by Leader Germination's emotions at all, and said enthusiastically: "Speaking of which, I only remembered it after eating the insect meat rolls you made."
Budding Leader: "..."
Old Man Lu cleared his throat and began to narrate: "That was when I was young. I went on an adventure to the Kasawala Rainforest in Xizhou with a few superpower companions. We went deep into it..."
"...Finally, we arrived at the outskirts of the core area of the rainforest, a place that almost no one has set foot on. We inevitably had some injuries on our bodies and were very tired. Just when we were about to camp on the spot and rest, I heard a cry from deep in the rainforest.
Roared, and then everyone including me froze and couldn't move for a short time. I was the strongest among the others, so I reluctantly turned my head and looked into the depths of the forest."
"Guess what I saw through the gap in the dense forest?" Old Man Lu deliberately asked in suspense.
"What?" Leader Germination sat up at some point, his temperament returning to a cold and stern tone.
Old Man Lu lowered his voice and said: "A big snake, a colorful super snake with a body length of at least 40 meters."
Leader Germination frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of it?"
"I had never heard about the big snake before that, otherwise how could I have ventured deep into the Casavalla Rainforest?" Old Man Lu paused here, as if he was afraid of the scene at that time.
He took a breath and continued: "Later, we arrived at an indigenous tribe in a forest and asked the indigenous people, only to find out that the big snake was called Kukulkan. This is the name of the indigenous people, which translates to "Aquamarine Star General"
The language is..."
