157 Food That’s Easy to Carry Around

When they reached the first floor, the corridor was surprisingly quiet. No one else came out of their house to block them. This time, they left the base with their new ID cards. At the entrance of the base, there were card readers on both sides. Everyone had to swipe their cards to enter and exit.

He Xing drove the car out of the base without a hitch and headed in a direction where there was no one around. He only stopped the car when they were some distance away from the base. The two of them alighted from the car. He Xing took out two military shovels and handed one to Du Yue. “This is better. Use this.” Du Yue nodded and began to dig with the military shovel.

Although the military shovel He Xing gave her looked no different from an ordinary one, Du Yue realized that there was a huge difference when she put it into use. Du Yue could not tell what material the military shovel was made of, but it was very light in her hand and very sharp when she was digging. The soil outside was frozen hard, but the military shovel dug down easily as if she was digging tofu instead. No wonder He Xing was able to dig up so much soil in such a short time yesterday. This was the secret!

Du Yue took out a logistics box from her interspace and put it aside. She directly put the dug-up soil into the logistics box. After filling it up, she put it into her interspace and took out a new empty box.

The place where they parked their car was about two kilometers away from the base. Not only was there a lot of shelter around them, but it was also very quiet. No matter how much soil they dug, they were not afraid of being discovered. However, they did not just go to one place to dig. When they were almost done, they moved to another place to continue digging. They only stopped when they counted that there were about 30 boxes full of soil and considered the fact that their houses would not be able to fit any more.

She did not feel anything when she was busy working, but when she took a pause, she realized that her stomach was growling. Du Yue asked He Xing, “Shall we go home and eat, or shall we just have a bite here?”

“Let’s eat something first. We’ll have dinner when we get home. It’s so cold outside. It won’t be comfortable to eat out here.” After the two of them got into the car, Du Yue took out two sets of cold noodles and four skewers of lamb from her interspace. Du Yue had stored them in her interspace when they were first served. Therefore, when she took them out again, they were no different from when she stood beside the stall and ate them. Whether it was the taste or the fragrance, they were still in their best state.

He Xing could not help but exclaim in admiration as he ate the skewers, “The people on your planet really know a lot about food. You guys can cook anything with delicious ingredients.”

Du Yue did not reply to He Xing’s comment. Indeed, her country could be said to have the most delicious food in the world, and He Xing had only tried a few dishes. He would be even more shocked when he had the opportunity to taste different types of cuisines and local snacks in the future.

She just did not know if he would have this opportunity in the future.

After the two of them went home and had dinner, Du Yue took out the logistics boxes containing the soil from her space. As long as there was an empty space in their houses, logistics boxes filled with soil took up the space. The more than 20 frosty snow fruits that Zuo Mingdong had given them had all been cut open. The seeds inside were picked out one by one and planted in all the logistics boxes. In the end, there were only some seeds left.

Du Yue kept the remaining seeds, saving them for future use. From that day on, the two of them began their winter days at home.

They did not need to worry about the growing process of the frosty snow fruit. They only needed to spray them with some prepared nutrient solution from time to time. The two of them lived a routine life. Other than training, they spent most of their time together watching TV shows and cooking.

Du Yue’s cooking skills were slightly better than He Xing’s, but He Xing’s enthusiasm for cooking was much higher than hers. After Du Yue taught him some dishes, he would stay at home to cook as long as he had nothing to do. With the range hood, He Xing did not have to worry about the smell attracting attention. He was completely immersed in the joy of cooking every day.

Every time He Xing cooked, he would make a lot of food. There was more than enough for the two of them. The rest would be packed into lunch boxes, and he would ask Du Yue to put them away in her interspace. Du Yue did not stop He Xing from cooking. Instead, she would cook with him whenever she had the time.

He Xing prepared full meals, while Du Yue preferred to make food that was easy to carry around, such as the sandwiches and rice balls they had before. In addition to these, she also liked making small steamed buns with various fillings, which were very convenient to eat one bite at a time.
