Sometimes, women were just so hard to figure out.
You wanted to flirt with her, but she was driving an electromagnetic cannon, a super battleship that could blast a 10th-tier powerhouse to pieces with one shot.
The backseat of a bicycle was obviously not attractive.
But if you said she was cold and aloof, a pot of red braised pork could lure her out.
Meg got up and walked to the kitchen. He took out a piece of pork belly from the fridge and started to prepare a portion of red braised pork for the incoming guest.
He cooked rice for three people in the rice cooker. The red braised pork did not go well with the rice, so it was lacking some soul. Moreover, that woman's appetite was not to be underestimated.
The red braised pork wrapped in bright red was poured into the crock to simmer. Meg returned to the window, took a book, and nestled comfortably in the chair to read.
Ugly Duckling stretched and jumped down from the counter. It walked slowly to Mag's side, jumped onto the chair, and sat comfortably on Mag's lap.
Meg glanced at Ugly Duckling, which started to purr, and placed the book in his hand on its head. The height was just right, and one hand was placed on the soft cat cushion. It was quite warm.
"Meow ~"
Ugly Duckling protested softly.
Meg flipped a page and remained unmoved.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Meg got up and opened the door. Xi was standing outside the door in a silver-black bodysuit. Fortunately, she had put away that ridiculously huge sniper rifle.
"You're quite fast." Meg glanced at his watch. It had only been an hour. He wondered if it was the commute time from the Underground City to Chaos City.
Xi's nose twitched as she smelled the fragrance of meat. She then said calmly, "I happened to be doing something nearby."
Meg understood what she meant. 'I didn't come all the way here just for a portion of red braised pork!'
"Come in." Meg smiled and made way. Everything was easy now that he had asked her out.
Meg poured a glass of warm water for Xi, then went into the kitchen to cut the braised pork and put it on the yellow stove.
There were a few pieces of burning charcoal in the stove and a black casserole on the stove. It had just been moved from the stove and the red braised pork inside was still boiling. The red braised pork was about two centimeters square. The thick meat aroma was wrapped in the steam and Xi, who had just taken a sip of water, could not help but swallow her saliva.
This was too fragrant!
When she received Meg's message, she had just come out of the defense building and needed to make a report to the army.
After some serious consideration, she turned down the task of reporting, and switched to reporting online. Then, she continued to immerse herself in her job as an observer. She entered the transmigration passageway, came to the Norland Continent, and rushed to Chaos City as quickly as possible.
This fellow had obviously deceived her.
At that time, the braised pork was not stewing on the stove. It should still be stewing in the pot. He thought that he would miss the best time to eat it, but now it seemed that this was the best time to eat it.
Meg got a bowl of rice and sprinkled a small plate of chives into the pot.
The red was dotted with bits of green, as if it had been injected with soul.
There was also a small plate of pickled radish that Meg marinated himself.
The red-skinned radish was cut into thin fan-shaped slices with its skin and marinated with millet chili, pepper, rock sugar, well salt, and a little vinegar for a few days.
It was the simplest recipe and the most refreshing pickled radish.
"Thank you."
Xi said and did not stand on ceremony. She picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork into her bowl.
She came here for the braised pork, and the only thing that needed to be taken seriously was the braised pork.
The fat and tender braised pork was extremely soft. Her chopsticks left a mark on it gently. The bright red color made her feel happy. It was a mixture of fat and lean, and the meat skin had a crystal texture.
When she returned to the underground city these few days, she went to the few restaurants that she frequented in the past, but none of the food gave her such a wonderful experience as the braised pork.
In the dead of the night, she flipped through the clips of braised pork in the Little Mermaid's book and felt even more hungry.
However, she was a reserved person after all. She set up the image of a cold female officer and could not take the initiative to ask Meg for food.
However, it was different if he took the initiative to ask.
Therefore, she crossed the two worlds in less than an hour and came here.
She was really craving it!
She gently blew on it and put the whole piece of braised pork into her mouth.
It was a little hot, but with this bite, the meat juice overflowed in her mouth. It was sweet and soft, fat but not greasy.
The full meatiness, soft and sweet texture made her close her eyes involuntarily.
Ah, this was a long-lost feeling!
The feeling of finally getting what she wanted after thinking about it day and night was too satisfying!
Her taste buds were cheering and jumping in joy!
In contrast, the status of the restaurants in the underground city had dropped a lot in her heart. They were too bland and it was difficult to feel surprise and joy.
— — —
Then, she picked up the rice and took a big bite. The soft rice had a fragrance that swept away the greasy feeling in her mouth. The more she chewed, the sweeter it became.
After eating a few pieces of braised pork and half a bowl of rice, Xi's gaze fell on the small plate of pickled radish.
She picked up a piece of radish and smelled a sour taste just as it was about to her mouth.
It was not the kind of sour taste, but a slightly aggressive sweet and sour taste that made her salivate unconsciously after smelling it.
She tried to take a small bite. The crisp texture and the sweet and sour taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue.
It was a refreshing feeling that instantly broke through the remaining greasy taste in her mouth. Then, a slightly spicy feeling bloomed.
"It's quite delicious." Xi's eyes lit up and she put the remaining half of the pickled radish into her mouth. Listening to the crisp sound of chewing, her mood seemed to become brighter.
The braised pork was simmered on a small flame, always maintaining the best temperature for eating.
She scooped two spoonfuls of thick gravy onto the rice and stirred it evenly. Every grain of rice was coated with the gravy of the braised pork. Then, she scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth. It was the best braised pork soup mixed with rice.
The rice soaked in gravy was not only sweet but also salty and sweet. There was no need for other side dishes as it was a delicacy in itself.
This was also one of Xi's favorite ways to eat.
A pot of braised pork, a pot of rice, and a plate of pickled radish.
Xi ate alone at a leisurely pace. About half an hour later, she finished all of them.
"This woman is not easy to feed." Meg was secretly speechless. In their family, only Amy could compete with her in terms of appetite.
Xi put the last grain of rice into her mouth and licked the gravy at the corner of her mouth. She put down the chopsticks and bowl, picked up a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth, and leaned back in the chair in satisfaction.
It had been a long time since she had such a comfortable meal. Fortunately, she was busy in the morning and did not have time to eat breakfast.
