Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage
Chapter 21 Black Lotus's Picky Eating
In the kitchen, the moment Zheng Hongxue lifted the pot lid, thick white steam billowed up like clouds.
A rich aroma of meat wafted through the air, filling the entire courtyard in an instant.
She raised her hand and gently fanned it in the rising steam, revealing a pot of tenderly stewed meat.
He deftly scooped up all the pieces of meat and placed them into a wooden basin on the side.
The basin was still steaming when I carried it to the yard and gently placed it on the wooden board. I then sat down in front of the stove with my head down.
Only then did Lin Feng get a clear look at Zheng Hongxue.
She was short and walked with a limp; she was a lame girl.
She was wearing a light blue, narrow-sleeved short-sleeved shirt that reached her waist.
The lower body consisted of wide-legged trousers, with leggings (leg straps) binding the ankles.
Her clothes were clearly those of a low-ranking servant in the city lord's mansion; high-ranking maids usually wore skirts.
Zheng Hongwen handed Lin Feng a pair of chopsticks, "Senior Brother Lin, eat quickly."
Lin Feng looked at Zheng Hongxue, who was busy in the kitchen, and felt sorry for the girl. "Save a portion for your sister."
Before Zheng Hongwen could say anything more, he heard Zheng Hongxue say, "No...you guys eat, there's more in the pot."
Lin Feng knew she was lying, of course. "Junior Brother Zheng, save a copy for her."
"no problem"
Zheng Hongwen used chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of meat and put them in the kitchen.
Immediately, Lin Feng opened the dried lotus leaf.
The pickled chicken feet and peanuts inside were exposed.
Zheng Hongwen was somewhat puzzled by this unfamiliar food.
"Senior Brother Lin, what is this?"
"Oh, a snack to go with the wine," he said, taking out a wine gourd and shaking it.
Zheng Hongwen said awkwardly, "Senior Brother Lin doesn't even have a wine glass or anything like that at home."
"It's fine, you can drink from a bowl."
After saying that, Lin Feng opened the wine gourd and poured a bowl for Zheng Hongwen.
A rich aroma of wine wafted over, and Zheng Hongwen's eyes lit up as he swallowed hard.
"Senior Brother Lin, this wine...this wine is far too precious."
Normally, they wouldn't even drink cloudy wine, so wine that is fragrant and crystal clear like this is the best.
I've never even seen it before.
Lin Feng laughed and said, "You're my first friend. Since we're friends, don't be shy, let's have a drink."
"it is good"
Zheng Hongwen carefully picked up the wine bowl, afraid of spilling a single drop.
I took a sip, and instantly, a spicy sensation hit me.
It choked him, causing him to cough repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Lin, I... I've never drunk such strong liquor before."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "It's normal to feel this way the first time you drink strong liquor. Actually, my alcohol tolerance is just average. I can drink slowly."
Come and have some peanuts.
"Um"
Zheng Hongwen was genuinely curious about these peanuts, as he had never eaten them before.
Pick one up and put it in your mouth; it's spicy and crunchy.
"Is this dried fruit?"
"More or less, how about that?"
"Hmm, I've never tasted this before. At first, it didn't feel right, but after eating it again, it became quite delicious."
"Then eat more."
The two ate meat and sipped wine. Lin Feng didn't have many friends in this world, and in this era without the internet or cell phones, he was truly bored.
Zheng Hongwen can at least be considered a friend.
In the kitchen, Zheng Hongxue carefully chewed on a piece of meat, occasionally glancing at Lin Feng out of the corner of her eye.
She sensed that Lin Feng was no ordinary person and had a unique aura.
Not only that, the wine that Lin Feng took out was something even the City Lord's Mansion didn't have.
This speaks volumes about its value, yet the other party directly offered this precious wine to her brother.
This only proves one thing: Lin Feng must drink this kind of wine often.
I've never even seen peanuts like these before.
But Zheng Hongxue found it strange that the white claw in the dried lotus leaf looked like a chicken claw.
Logically speaking, someone of Lin Feng's status wouldn't be eating such scraps.
Therefore, I cannot be certain.
After a few rounds of drinks, Zheng Hongwen drank a bowl of wine and was feeling a little dizzy.
He's already started talking nonsense.
"Senior Brother Lin, learning martial arts is not easy, you must be diligent..."
Seeing this, Lin Feng said to Zheng Hongxue, "It's getting late, I should go back too."
Zheng Hongxue nodded slightly. "Then please be careful."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Feng waved and left.
Only after Lin Feng's figure disappeared down the street did Zheng Hongxue return.
Looking at the remaining liquor in the bowl on the table, she couldn't help but want to taste it herself.
He gently picked up the wine bowl and took a small sip.
In an instant, a spicy, burning sensation came from my mouth and throat, so I quickly stuck out my tongue and fanned it with my hand.
She couldn't understand why the liquor was so strong.
She couldn't resist eating a peanut, and the crunchy, crispy texture made her eyes light up.
"So delicious!"
Looking into the corner, there were two white chicken feet, clearly left for her.
A warm feeling washed over me.
This was the first time in her life that she had received so much care and attention.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng returned to the courtyard and fell asleep immediately.
The next day, Lin Feng arrived at the charity hall early in the morning and dragged the body from the previous day to the cemetery.
The deceased was a hunter, of little use, so Lin Feng did not let the black lotus devour him.
After arriving at the cemetery, Lin Feng chose a good spot and began digging.
After digging about 20 centimeters, I suddenly dug out a lot of bones.
Lin Feng was taken aback, not expecting there to be other corpses present.
Seeing this, Lin Feng continued digging, and soon all the bones were exposed, revealing two corpses in total.
The clothes had long since decayed.
Suddenly, Lin Feng had a flash of inspiration. He took off his gloves and touched the white bone with his hand.
Black Lotus did not react at all.
In other words, the bones are useless.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng was also curious about how long a corpse would remain dead before it became useless.
Looking at the densely packed mounds of earth.
According to Lin Feng's memory, Zheng Hongwen had said before that the mound of yellow earth on the far left was the one he buried a month ago.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng picked up the iron shovel and walked over.
They started digging at the mound of earth.
As his strength increased, Lin Feng's speed in digging pits also increased.
When the mound of earth was dug up, the coffin inside was corroded beyond recognition, and a stench of decay wafted out.
Suppressing his nausea, Lin Feng opened the coffin and touched the corpse, finding that Black Lotus showed no reaction.
In other words, Black Lotus has no interest in bones, not even in a corpse that has been dead for a month.
Lin Feng was somewhat surprised that Black Lotus was being picky about food for the first time.
They filled the hole back in with soil.
After burying it, Lin Feng poured himself a glass of wine. "Sorry to bother you."
Looking around at the mounds of yellow earth, Lin Feng decided to conduct an experiment.
Black Lotus also wanted to know exactly how long the corpse had been dead before she lost interest.
After filling in the grave, Lin Feng sat down under a tree to rest.
Waiting for Zhao Erniu's arrival.
Time passed quietly, and just as noon approached, Lin Feng saw Zhao Erniu slowly pulling a cart over.
When he unexpectedly saw Lin Feng, he immediately showed a look of joy.
He hurried over there.
Lin Feng also stood up in response.
Upon meeting, Zhao Erniu smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, I'm late."
"No, I'm just early." After saying that, Lin Feng looked at the yellow cloth and couldn't help but ask, "What good stuff did you bring this time?"
