Chapter 493

For Chen Xin, there are many things he needs to deal with every day. Although he is not overworked, he has little time to rest and relax.

In addition to the leisure time after he went back to his residence after the research center, he occasionally sat down under the ecological dome of the research center and had a cup of tea when he was busy dealing with all kinds of things.

Tea is the output of the ecological dome. After the ecological dome was put into use, the biological research team planted many plants here, including several tea trees.

Although there is very little tea that can be harvested, Chen Xin still gets some. Occasionally, he throws a few pieces into the cup to soak them. Then he sits in the rest area under the ecological dome and relaxes himself a little.

Now the construction of the ecological dome and the planting of plants have been completed. Relying on the energy provided by the geothermal power plant on one side, the effect of sunlight in the past is simulated here to provide photosynthesis for these plants and illumination for the whole ecological dome.

Because the mode of simulating natural light is adopted, and there are many green plants with luxuriant branches and leaves around, the rest area under the ecological dome has the flavor of before disaster.

When people sit here, they will occasionally unconsciously forget that it is the cold winter of the long night after the meteorite fall, and they think that they are enjoying a leisurely lunch break and afternoon tea before the disaster.

If you just look up, the black sky outside the transparent dome will remind you that it is still the end of the world.

For Chen Xin, of course, he doesn't forget that it's the end of the world. After all, in terms of being able to let people forget the present predicament and re experience the beauty before the disaster, the hologram room he built for himself in the refuge is much better than here.

So for Chen Xin, the rest area of the ecological dome is just a place where he can sit down and rest between work.

Although his shelter and research center are separated by a corridor, Chen Xin is still not used to going back to rest during working hours. Even lunch is basically eaten with everyone in the canteen of the research center, and seldom goes home to eat.

At most, I will come to the rest area to have a rest after lunch.

Other people in the research center also know Chen Xin's habit. When he has a lunch break, he usually doesn't disturb him. Even other people who also choose to come to the rest area at noon will try their best to avoid Chen Xin and won't disturb him.

However, there seems to be an exception today. During Chen Xin's break, someone came to find him and broke his silence during his lunch break.

"Ingredients, I've brought you something delicious. Would you like to try it?" Mo Qingyan sat down in front of Chen Xin with a smile and put a covered plate on the small table in front of him.

"Food? What's that? Still so mysterious? " Chen Xin saw Mo Qingyan's arrival, but he didn't mind her disturbing his lunch break. He just looked curiously at the covered plate on the table and asked her, "what's the matter with the cover so that I can't see it?"

With that, Chen Xin wants to reach out and lift the lid, but Mo Qingyan holds the lid down and says with a smile to Chen Xin, "it's delicious, but you have to guess it right before you can eat it. If you don't guess it right, you won't be given it!"

"Well? What are you doing? Don't you give it to me? " Chen Xin looks at Mo Qingyan's hand holding the lid, and her face is a little sad.

"Guess! I put a lot of effort into it. How can you eat it so easily? " Mo Qingyan is still smiling, but she still insists on letting Chen Xin guess.

In the face of Mo Qingyan's attitude, Chen Xin felt helpless for a while. He could only follow Mo Qingyan's meaning and asked, "if you let me guess, why don't you give me some hints? Just cover it like this, let me guess, I can't guess what it is. "

"I'll give you a hint and you'll guess. That's boring." Mo Qingyan refuses Chen Xin's request, and the smile on her face is full of confidence.

"No hint?" Chen Xin touched his chin and looked at the plate on the table: "this plate is not big, and you use a shallow cover. It should not be a big thing, and it doesn't look like it's covered for heat preservation, so it shouldn't be a hot thing."

Chen Xin tried to analyze it, and at the same time, he reached out and touched the cover of the plate. Sure enough, the cover was not hot.

Seeing that Chen Xin starts to guess the things on the plate, Mo Qingyan's smile is more brilliant. It seems that Chen Xin can't guess what's inside.

However, Chen Xin took a look at her fingers, lowered his head, sniffed her clothes twice, and then said in surprise, "is it a cake? Where did you get the flour? "

In the current situation of material shortage, cake is a luxury. After all, both eggs and milk are scarce. Chen Xin relies on the special supplies provided by the state to get some dairy products every month.In terms of flour, there was flour in the special supplies Chen Xin would receive every month. However, in recent two months, there has been a shortage of flour, resulting in no flour in Chen Xin.

In fact, the situation is also simple. Because of the earthquake in Southwest China, the state transferred the grain storage to support the disaster area, and the flour that should have been distributed naturally disappeared.

Now Mo Qingyan suddenly made a cake for him, which surprised Chen Xin.

"You guessed it!" For Chen Xin to guess the answer so simply, Mo Qingyan seems to be a little disappointed, but still opened the lid, revealing inside a not too exquisite workmanship, but also covered with a layer of cream cake, the top also specially coated with a layer of strawberry jam: "the material is not much, I only made a small one, you try it, the taste should be good."

With that, Mo Qingyan takes out a small fork from her body and hands it to Chen Xin.

"Where did you get the flour? I remember there should be no flour at home, right? And there's only a little sugar left. Don't you use all the sugar? " Chen Xin is not surprised by the cake itself, but is more curious about where Mo Qingyan comes from to make the cake flour.

"Don't worry! I didn't move your candy. The materials of this cake are all processed by the things planted in the ecological greenhouse. They want to give you a surprise. " Mo Qingyan explained to Chen Xin, urging him: "try it! I've been making this cake all morning! "

Hearing what Mo Qingyan said, Chen Xin had to let go of his curiosity about the situation in the ecological greenhouse, cut a piece of cake with a fork and put it in his mouth.
