Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 112 - 107: Mother and Child Grass

A large box full of the spicy and savory Lantern Shadow Beef Threads successfully soothed Pang Zhi, who had been deeply hurt by the combined efforts of Milk Tea and Pudding. The meat threads were cut very finely, presented in a shiny red color, slightly translucent, with white sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Taking a gentle bite, the meat threads were slightly spicy with a hint of numbing sensation, very chewy, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant they became. The sesame seeds on the meat threads were both aromatic and crunchy; once bitten, the unique aroma of the sesame intensified, gradually blending with the beef flavor, continuously stimulating the sensitive taste buds.

Because of Sun Yue’s influence, Pang Zhi had loved eating snacks since he was a child, especially those snacks with too many artificial flavorings added! Among them were the Lantern Shadow Beef Threads. He knew Sun Yue had no good intentions, but unfortunately, the habit was already formed, and he couldn’t control his mouth! Besides, with Sun Yue watching him, he didn’t dare not to eat. This woman, who seemed gentle and ladylike, was actually very malicious, and he almost instinctively knew not to let Sun Yue discover his anomaly!

After arriving in Qinghe City, he tried his best to avoid eating those food items with too many artificial flavorings, and even due to past experiences, he had a deep-seated hatred for such things!

However, he had eaten so many things over the years that his nose and tongue were well-trained. As soon as he smelled something, he knew if it was good!

To compensate him, Tang Yiyi specially brought back both Pudding and Milk Tea, which made Pang Zhi extremely satisfied. However, just as Pang Zhi was finishing that box of Lantern Shadow Beef Threads, Tang Yiyi returned to her room with Pudding and Milk Tea. She lifted Pudding’s small round ears with her finger, looked into its red eyes, and asked, "Back in the black market, you said there were good things in those goods and took them all without asking my opinion! Now, shouldn’t you give me an explanation? Hmm?" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Pudding shook its chubby body unhappily, continuously shouting, "Let go of me! Let me go! Even if you’re my host, you can’t touch me like this, you know?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yiyi was suddenly speechless! What did the system mean by this? She wasn’t some ruffian! Narrowing her eyes dangerously, she shook Pudding’s ears and said fiercely, "Are you going to talk or not?"

Pudding hugged its two front paws, rolled its eyes, twitched its whiskers, and said angrily, "Fine, fine, everyone says pregnant women have bad tempers, so I’ll let it slide! That good stuff I mentioned earlier is called Mother and Child Grass, perfect for pregnant women like you to consume. It strengthens the fetus and the mother’s constitution!"

Tang Yiyi exclaimed, surprised, "Mother and Child Grass? Does such a plant exist? How come I’ve never heard of it?"

With those words, she received a disdainful glare from Pudding: "Nonsense! There’s a lot you don’t know!"

Tang Yiyi chuckled internally, smartly dodging the topic, and asked Pudding, "Is it a mutated plant? Could it be poisonous? How should it be consumed?"

Pudding signaled Tang Yiyi to let go of it, and when she did, it arrogantly hummed with a raised chin and a face expressing, "What can you do if I don’t tell?" But at the same time, a transparent system panel popped up automatically, showing a prompt box—Do you want to spend 1000 points to exchange for all related information on Mother and Child Grass?

points were indeed quite a bit, but recalling Pudding’s earlier words, Tang Yiyi decisively clicked okay. Afterwards, the icon of Mother and Child Grass appeared in her data library. Upon opening it, she found a detailed introduction to Mother and Child Grass. Although extensive, Tang Yiyi patiently read through it all. She discovered that it indeed mentioned that Mother and Child Grass is suitable for pregnant women to consume, with benefits for both the fetus and the mother’s health, especially more beneficial to the fetus!

The information was followed by instructions for use, ingredient combinations, and cautions. Tang Yiyi read through all of it as well, then eagerly opened the system backpack and took out some Mother and Child Grass.

Back in that warehouse, there were plenty of mutated plants piled up, but most were deserted wild grasses. Among them was Mother and Child Grass, but unfortunately, no one knew its use.

After reading the information, Tang Yiyi discovered that simply extracting the juice of Mother and Child Grass and testing it with instruments wouldn’t reveal its true effects; it needed some processing. Otherwise, this grass’s value would have long been discovered by someone else! It wouldn’t have been left for Tang Yiyi to stumble upon!

Looking at the light purple Mother and Child Grass in her hand, with tiny fruits hanging from the stalks, Tang Yiyi couldn’t help but be grateful she encountered the system; otherwise, she might never have known that this unimposing "weed" had the effect of strengthening the fetus’s constitution!

Following the processing methods mentioned in the information, she carefully processed the Mother and Child Grass, then mixed the treated juice into the Ant Egg Liquid. After trying a sip, she noticed a subtle difference. The Mother and Child Grass itself didn’t have a strong smell, only a faint fragrance similar to chrysanthemums, yet when mixed with the sweet aroma of the Ant Egg Liquid, it formed a unique flavor.

The combined Ant Egg Liquid had a smooth texture, tasting even better than the plain egg liquid! Once swallowed, she felt a warm heat spread from her stomach, continuously absorbed by the fetus. Before long, this warmth was completely absorbed, and her body hadn’t taken in much at all!

Tang Yiyi pursed her lips and decisively made another large glass and drank it down. She felt that this child inside her was absolutely a complete gourmet! Still in her belly and already eating so much, what would happen after being born?

Tang Yiyi couldn’t help feeling a bit sullen. She seriously thought about it and was convinced that the child’s appetite didn’t take after her; it must have taken after that "Masked Man" whose whereabouts were unknown!

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to her, Song Yunxiu, who was discussing business with Ji Yun in a secret room, suddenly sneezed loudly! Ji Yun’s words were interrupted as he turned his head in amazement to look at Song Yunxiu, and after hesitating, he said, "Did you catch a cold?"

Song Yunxiu gave him an icy stare, his cold gaze like that of a fool.

Ji Yun, aware of his misstep, quickly added, "Well, with Song Yunxiu’s strength, catching a cold is impossible! Then why did you sneeze? Could it be that someone is bad-mouthing you?" At this thought, he couldn’t help but find the conjecture highly plausible, considering Song Yunxiu’s personality easily offends people!

Song Yunxiu continued to look at him coldly, just about to say something, when he suddenly sneezed again! Instantly, his expression grew even colder.

Meanwhile, completely oblivious, Tang Yiyi continued to leisurely drink the Ant Egg Liquid, patting her belly, murmuring, "Be good for me, hear? Make sure you take after me in looks, if you dare to take after that ’Masked Man’ you’ll be in trouble, be careful not to become a hideous thing!" (To be continued.
