Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 111 - 106: Sinister Pudding

Ji Yun looked at Song Yunxiu suspiciously, afraid that his guess would become reality! Although he previously joked about setting him up with women, it was really just to tease Song Yunxiu. Song Yunxiu had been outstanding since childhood, with a strong sense of independence, but his personality was too cold. As he grew up, he became like a human iceberg, his gaze as freezing as ice rays, enough to freeze anyone to death!

But even if Song Yunxiu had a bit of a personality issue, he was still his outstanding nephew, not someone any ordinary woman could match. Ji Yun thought that it was because Song Yunxiu hadn’t encountered many women that he was easily fooled by that woman!

At this moment, he completely forgot that this was just his assumption, Song Yunxiu hadn’t admitted it, and he also forgot that just now he thought Tang Yiyi was nice and wanted Song Yunxiu to develop something with her!

Though Song Yunxiu was a man of few words, he wasn’t foolish. He immediately saw through Ji Yun’s thoughts, and his anger flared up: "I told you! I don’t even know that woman just now, nor am I interested in her, so stop thinking about all this nonsense!"

Ji Yun cautiously probed several times before finally confirming he was wrong. However, even after getting the definitive answer, he didn’t feel the joy he imagined, but rather a complex emotion, unsure whether to be relieved or disappointed.

Not wanting to continue discussing this topic with Ji Yun, Song Yunxiu then asked, "That matter, how is your investigation going?"

Still tangled up with Song Yunxiu’s emotional issues, Ji Yun suddenly took on a serious expression upon hearing this: "Well, I did find some information."

The two of them started discussing the serious matter, gradually putting Tang Yiyi out of their minds, while in the meantime, Tang Yiyi, who had been deliberately forgotten by the two, had already returned home. Pang Zhi lived right next door; he had specifically moved there to keep an eye on the temporary planting room’s plants, to watch them sprout and grow.

Not only that, but he also filmed everything, planning to take some clips to post online after opening the physical store.

When Tang Yiyi returned, he was just watching a movie in his room, and as soon as she entered, she heard Pang Zhi’s roar: "Ow! Milk Tea, you’re a dog! Don’t eat my snacks!"

Tang Yiyi shrugged helplessly. Since Pang Zhi moved in, things like this happened almost every day, and she had already gotten used to it. She didn’t know how Milk Tea mutated, but its intelligence was unusually high! If it were only competing for food, that would be fine, but it also got addicted to watching movies, listening to music, and dancing!

Especially after the hamster Pudding arrived, the two of them, after a fierce battle, became secret accomplices, with Pudding in charge of turning on the projector wall and surfing the internet for shows, while Milk Tea took charge of stealing all kinds of snacks from Pang Zhi!

Pang Zhi was a total foodie, constantly snacking every day. Fortunately, being born into the Pang family, though he was alone in Qinghe City, he had plenty of pocket money each month, enough to buy all kinds of snacks. Otherwise, an average person could not afford such expenses!

However, even though Pang Zhi usually appeared foolish and naive, just a pampered second-generation rich kid, Tang Yiyi still sensed that something was amiss, faintly guessing that his relationship with his family might not be so harmonious.

The most obvious evidence was that Pang Zhi often mentioned his brother in front of her but never mentioned his parents! What’s more, the Pang Group’s headquarters was in Wu City. If everything were fine with the Pang family, how could they let a 16-year-old boy stay alone in the small town of Qinghe?

Even with bodyguards, a housekeeper, a big house, and pocket money, how could that compare to being at home?

Although she guessed some things, seeing that Pang Zhi didn’t intend to talk about it, she always pretended not to know and never asked Pang Zhi about his family situation.

The two of them continued to get along peacefully, and gradually, their relationship even grew closer, adding more of a sibling-like bond beyond simple partnership.

Hearing Pang Zhi’s roar, Tang Yiyi knew that Milk Tea must be causing trouble again, and in the next moment, she saw Pudding transform back into a hamster, quickly waddling towards Pang Zhi’s room—obviously heading to grab food!

Tang Yiyi sighed helplessly, looking at Pudding’s fleeting figure and the sounds of Pang Zhi’s roaring and Milk Tea’s barking coming from the next room. Suddenly, she didn’t know whether to sympathize with Pang Zhi or herself.

How did she end up with these two troublemakers!

After sighing, she took out the snacks she had prepared earlier and went next door. Although Pang Zhi had plenty of pocket money, Milk Tea had grown several sizes and eaten more, so she couldn’t let Pang Zhi bear the cost all the time.

Moreover, she had just made a new dish for Pang Zhi to try. It was Lantern Shadow Beef Threads, which could serve as both a dish and a snack. It had been quite popular over a hundred years ago, and though the method survived through the apocalypse, whether due to incomplete technique or some other reason, it was not very renowned.

Having exchanged for the system’s recipe, she had previously searched the Food Empire website, and whenever she found something similar, she paid close attention and purchased whenever possible. She had bought Lantern Shadow Beef Threads once, but after tasting it, she didn’t like it at all. The meat was too dry, with too much artificial flavoring, making it both overwhelming and cloying, almost making her nauseous!

Since becoming pregnant, she hadn’t had much trouble with nausea, but the smell had disgusted her to the point of nearly vomiting!

However, following the system’s recipe, her Lantern Shadow Beef Threads didn’t have the cloying artificial fragrance. Instead, it had only the tempting aroma of seasoned meat. Once the beef strips were ready, she placed them in a newly bought sealed thermal box, locking the aroma inside.

As she reached the doorstep, she still heard Pang Zhi and Milk Tea’s argument inside, though calling it an argument might not be accurate. It was more like Pang Zhi furiously accusing Milk Tea and Pudding of stealing food while Milk Tea occasionally barked in response. As for Pudding, it always took advantage of Pang Zhi and Milk Tea’s argument to secretly eat, having finished everything by the time Pang Zhi realized.

It wasn’t the first time this had happened, yet Pang Zhi always failed to learn the lesson, getting hoodwinked by Pudding every time!

Sure enough, just as Tang Yiyi was about to push the door, she heard Pang Zhi’s grieving shout from inside: "Ah! My beef jerky! You’ve eaten it all!"

Tang Yiyi shrugged, a "I knew this would happen" expression on her face, then gently lifted the lid. As soon as it was lifted, the aroma inside eagerly wafted out, and she immediately heard the sound of a chair being knocked over inside the room.

Simultaneously, Pang Zhi’s excited voice called out, "Sister Yiyi! What delicious thing have you made again?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
