328 Blood-Replenishing Pork Liver Soup
Du Yue nodded. “Give us a pig liver, then!”
The man looked at Du Yue in surprise, but he did not say anything. He quickly took out a pig liver from the freezer and placed it on the scale. The scale clearly showed that this pig liver weighed two and a half catties. Although the man did not say anything, Du Yue understood from his eyes that they had gotten a bargain.
Du Yue handed her ident.i.ty card to the man, along with the stainless steel lunch box in her hand. She asked the man to put the pig liver in it. After leaving the butcher shop, Du Yue smelled the pig liver in the car and looked at the color carefully. Whether it was the taste or the color, the pig liver was still relatively fresh and had not gone bad. However, pork liver was a little troublesome to prepare. If it was not cleaned from the inside out before cooking, the taste would be very difficult to swallow.
Du Yue and He Xing did not waste any more time. They went straight back to the small courtyard and started cooking the pig liver. Wan Dapeng had just woken up and could not eat greasy things. It was most suitable to make pork liver soup for him. Du Yue also put dried fungus and peanuts in. Actually, it would be great if there was spinach. Spinach and pig liver were usually stewed together in a soup. It was the best prescription for replenishing blood. Unfortunately, the price of a handful of spinach might be more expensive than gold now. Du Yue could not add spinach to Wan Dapeng’s soup without raising suspicions.
Du Yue put the whole pig liver into the pot, added peanuts and fungus, and finally finished cooking a pot full of soup. After she was done, she scooped out more than half of it and placed it in a thermos. She left about two small bowls of it in the pot for herself and He Xing and also added a handful of spinach. Du Yue said to He Xing, “Let’s leave the soup in the pot for us to drink. We’ll send the rest to Brother Wan.”
He Xing nodded. “I’ll drop it off. You can rest at home.”
Du Yue had been busy with Wan Dapeng’s matters all morning. He Xing felt a little heartache, so he wanted Du Yue to rest at home. They still had important things to do tomorrow. They had to conserve their strength! Du Yue did not argue with He Xing. “Okay, then be careful when you go alone.”
The spinach was boiled in the soup. Du Yue scooped out the soup and gave them a bowl each. Du Yue scooped a spoonful and blew on it before taking a small bite. The soup was light and had a meaty fragrance, and there was no fishy smell at all. The peanuts, fungus, and spinach cut through the grease of the pig liver. Although this was made by herself, Du Yue still could not help but want to boast. Her cooking skills were too awesome.
Drinking soup alone was definitely not enough. Du Yue took out two meat buns and cold cuc.u.mbers to eat together. The outer layer of the meat bun was crispy, and a layer of sesame seeds was sprinkled on the crispy outer sh.e.l.l, adding to the fragrance. It was simply perfect to eat with the pork liver soup.
He Xing was thinking about delivering the soup to Wan Dapeng, so he did not say a word during the meal. He buried his head and finished everything in less than five minutes. “Eat slowly. I’ll go to the hospital first.”
“Alright, be careful on the road!” Seeing He Xing leave with the thermos, Du Yue also sped up her eating speed. After dinner, Du Yue washed the dishes and began to prepare.
Ever since she and He Xing came to the third base, they had not gone out again. They had lived a stable life for a long time. However, no matter how stable their days were, Du Yue and He Xing did not slack off. The two of them trained every day.
Although it had been a long time since she had fought with anyone, Du Yue’s strength and agility were not inferior to before. Therefore, all she needed to prepare now was a weapon that she could use. Tomorrow, she and He Xing planned to go to the city with Yu Xinya. When the three of them were together, she could not take weapons out of the s.p.a.ce, so she could only prepare them now. She did not know how long they would be outside this time, so she had to prepare enough rations. Du Yue took out some compressed biscuits from her s.p.a.ce. In addition to these, she also took out some other food to eat, in case she got sick of eating compressed biscuits.
Du Yue was very experienced in preparing supplies since she often traveled outside. Before He Xing returned from the hospital, Du Yue had already prepared everything and was waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Du Yue and He Xing got up and had a simple breakfast. Then, they packed up and drove to the door. Less than five minutes later, they heard the sound of a car approaching. There was only one road at the entrance of the small courtyard. There were crops on both sides of the road. Du Yue’s car was blocking the door, so the car behind could only stop.
