Chapter 50 Dinner in the Cabin
As night fell, a pot of hot soup had replaced the previous kettle and hung on the fire pit, and was cooking.
What was cooked in the pot was made by Chen Yu from the existing ingredients in the kitchen, and stewed with cured meat, radish and bones picked from the cured meat. The fragrance alone made Hei Mutong and Dadi Zhenyang's index fingers swell, and he couldn't help but drool.
He took the bowl from the kitchen and handed it to Hei Mutong and Dadi Zhenyang chopsticks. Chen Yu opened the lid of the pot and saw that the soup had turned milky white, so he nodded with satisfaction.
He stirred it with a spoon, scooped a little and tasted it, and felt that it was almost done, so he announced: "It's ready to eat, give me the bowl."
When he heard Chen Yu say he could eat it, Dadi Zhenyang and Hei Mutong, who could not wait, hurriedly reached the bowl in front of him.
He served a bowl of soup for each of them, and told him to be careful of burning it. Then he served a bowl for himself and sat down by the fire pit.
The hot soup was a bit hot. After blowing it gently, Chen Yu took a sip carefully.
After all, the stewed marinated meat tasted a bit salty, but the aroma of the bone was completely stewed out. When the milky white soup was in the mouth, a rich salty and freshness filled the taste buds, which made Chen Yu, who was already a little hungry, unable to help but have a lot of appetite.
The radish in the soup has been stewed. After sucking the soup, it will be broken with chopsticks. The taste is particularly delicious.
"It's so delicious!" Dadi Zhenyang couldn't help but exclaim, even though she was almost burned by the radish in her mouth.
However, Kuromutong, who was standing beside her, was holding the small bowl in her hand very quietly, and was drinking it in small sips, without saying anything. However, seeing her drinking constantly, she obviously thought the soup was delicious.
After drinking the soup in his bowl, Chen Yu did not immediately serve the second bowl, but picked up the tongs placed next to the fire pit and went deep into the fire to get three small sweet potatoes.
He placed the sweet potatoes on the pile of ash and tapped them twice, shook off the carbon ash stuck on it, and placed it aside. Chen Yu then opened a pot on the iron rack next to the fire pit and served himself a bowl of rice from the pot.
This time he was the confidence to bring Kuroki Hitomi and Dadi Zhenyang here to spend the night. Although this mountain hut deviates from the ski resort and is close to the mountains and forests, it has been managed by the hotel for a long time, and has been replenished for supplies because of the guests before, so the food is sufficient.
There will be no benefit of three people here being cold and hungry, and they can only squeeze together to keep warm if they have no food.
However, while having supper, Dadi Zhenyang suddenly spoke: "I didn't expect that it would be nice to experience it occasionally without modern urban life."
"It's okay to experience this occasionally. If you were allowed to live here for a few months and be completely isolated from the world, Miss Earth will be in a state of dissatisfaction." Chen Yu was quite dissatisfied when he heard the feelings of Dadi Zhenyang.
People living in cities hope to experience rural life, called farm stays, which is not a rare thing in later generations.
However, if those who have long been used to the convenience of modern life in the city and live in a rural life without all kinds of modern conveniences and cannot even order takeout, it may take three months to drive people crazy.
"Chen Yujun, will the snow outside stop tomorrow? What if the snow is too heavy, what should we do if we trap us here?" Hei Mutong looked at the heavy snow outside that seemed to have not stopped yet, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She didn't want her own casual mess to cause the three of them to be trapped here.
When Chen Yu heard her say this, he glanced out the window and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the snow falls at most until night and will stop tomorrow morning. We will not be trapped here, and even if the door is blocked from the snow, it is only an hour's walk from the hotel. As long as we send a distress signal from here, someone will come to save us within a few hours.
As for the supplies stored here, although they cannot be said to be very rich, they can save some food, and it is still okay to eat for three people for a week. It’s just that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if you are really trapped here, you may have to miss the New Year.”
"Chen Yujun, don't you have to go back to Tokyo to celebrate the New Year?" Hearing Chen Yu say this, Kuroki Tong lowered her worries, but also cared about whether Chen Yu will return to Tokyo.
"My hometown is here. I have lived here in previous years. I didn't move to Tokyo until last year. It's not a big problem whether I will go back to Tokyo for the New Year." Chen Yu shook his head. For him, RB's New Year is only equivalent to the previous New Year's Day. The real New Year will always be the Lunar New Year, but after traveling through time, it is obvious that there is no family member who can accompany him to celebrate the New Year with him.
Even his only relative, aunt Chen Meiyang, has long been accustomed to the RB custom of celebrating the New Year on New Year's Day.
Chen Yu's answer made Hei Mutong feel a little unsure of what to say, so she had to drink the soup in the bowl silently. After she was empty, she handed the empty bowl to Chen Yu and signaled him to help him serve another bowl.
While filling the soup for Heimutong, Chen Yu suddenly said jokingly: "You said, if the whole world turned into a cold winter, the earth was covered with snow, and even the sea was frozen, what would happen to humans?"
"The whole world has become winter?" Hei Mutong looked at him in surprise, wondering why he suddenly thought of this.
However, Dadi Zhenyang thought Chen Yu's idea was very interesting. After thinking about it, he replied: "That should be very inconvenient, right? There is snow everywhere and there is no land to cultivate, and humans will starve to death."
"I don't think so. Maybe some people will starve to death, but the remaining humans will definitely survive strongly, and humans will not be so fragile and extinct." Kuroki Hitomi and Dadi Zhenyang had a different view. Instead, she felt that no matter what environment, humans could survive.
Dadi Zhenyang did not argue with Kuroki Tong, but looked at Chen Yu, wanting to hear his opinion: "Mr. Chen Yu, what do you think?"
"A large number of humans will starve to death. After all, the whole world is in winter and the ocean is frozen, there will be no food at all." Chen Yu poured soup on the rice in his bowl, while saying in a very cold tone: "What will humans do when there is not enough food? Give food to those in need? Or abandon the elderly and the weak, and the strong are kings? Can humans really do anything for survival?"
Chen Yu didn't say it clearly, but Dadi Zhenyang and Heimutong could both hear what his implied meant to be whether people would eat people.
"I think humans may certainly have the situation like what Chen Yujun said, but there will definitely be beautiful things! No matter what the world becomes, there will always be people with noble character." Kuroki Hitomi said firmly, as if he would rather believe in the beautiful side of human nature.
