Chapter 104: Pork Jerky (3)



Jia Xiang rubbed her itchy nose and sniffed, "I'm fine. It's just a little cold."

Yao Ran looked at her pale lips and said, "You guys should rest for a while. I will prepare some ginger tea to keep out the cold."

After hearing what Yao Ran said, they did not refuse and sat on the floor to rest. Back in the kitchen, Yao Ran took out the ingredients for making ginger tea.

First, she washed the ginger and cut it into thin slices. Then, she put the ginger into a kettle, boiled the water over high heat for one minute, and simmered it over low heat for five minutes to bring out the medicinal properties of the ginger.

When the color of the water turns slightly yellow, Yao Ran turns off the fire and pours out the ginger tea through a fine sieve. She divided the ginger tea into five cups and then mixed a spoonful of honey into each cup.

Yao Ran came to the living room with two cups of ginger tea and handed them to Jia Xiang and Long Yu. After that, she returned to the kitchen, brought two more cups of ginger tea to the living room, and handed them to Shi Xuan and Huang Qian.

Holding a cup of ginger tea, the five of them drank slowly. Finishing her ginger tea, Jia Xiang felt warm all over. She was happy and sighed contently.

Huang Qian brought the empty cup back to the kitchen and said, "Yao Ran, this ginger tea is delicious. Where did you get the ginger?"

Yao Ran lied without blinking and replied calmly, "I found it in the kitchen."

Seeing that Huang Qian believed what she said, Yao Ran returned to the kitchen. Since the sauce was ready, Yao Ran took the pot off the stove and prepared the sweet sauce while letting the spicy sauce cool to room temperature.

Due to the low temperature, the sauce cools quickly.

Yao Ran waved her hand tiredly and smiled, "It's good that you like it. The seasonings are all used up, and there is only half a bottle of gas left. We should bring it and the gas stove back."

Seeing her tired look, Long Yu said to his friends, "Let's rest and eat something first before we go back."

It was already dinner time, and the other three were already starving. They sat on the floor and took food out of their backpacks. With the addition of pork jerky, their simple dinner becomes more delicious.

After resting and regaining some strength, the five of them quickly moved the food to the boats. After the fresh pork was made into pork jerky, although it became smaller, it still filled two boats.

Seeing that the motorboat still had room, Long Yu decisively decided to dismantle the wooden furniture in the pig farm and bring it back as firewood.

The three boats were loaded with supplies, and they returned to the Ling Yuan apartment complex in a good mood.

When they finally arrived at Building 3, it was already midnight. Yao Ran and her friends gritted their teeth and carried the supplies up to the 20th floor.

Seeing them come back, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi also came down to help move the supplies. After they had divided the supplies, Long Yu helped Yao Ran bring the supplies to her apartment and then went home.

After returning to her apartment, Yao Ran quickly entered her space and took a hot bath. Although she was wearing a coat and raincoat, she still got wet from the rain and felt very cold. After soaking in warm water for thirty minutes, her sore muscles relaxed a little, and she felt much better.

Leaving the space, she dried her hair and lay on the bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, Yao Ran fell asleep immediately.

Early the next morning, Yao Ran woke up before dawn. She had been too tired yesterday, and her sleep quality was very poor. Feeling a slight headache, she rubbed her brow to relieve the pain and then went to the space to wash up.

After coming out of the space, Yao Ran drank a glass of lake water, and her headache disappeared. Just as she was about to make breakfast, she heard someone calling her name outside.
