Chapter 3: Culinary Demonstration, Sleeping
"New China?"
Lin Wan blinked her big eyes, her delicate features revealing a hint of confusion.
Although this was the belief she fought for her entire life, and she struggled against the reactionaries every day, her heart was set on building a completely new world.
I'm willing to sacrifice my life for this!
Hearing that my wish has come true now feels unreal.
Just ten minutes ago, she was behind enemy lines controlled by the reactionaries, and was even prepared for a gunfight with secret service agents.
But just opening the door and stepping out of the bedroom, with a new world right in front of you that you would give your life to build, it's hard not to feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the lights shining in the night, I found myself walking slowly to the window.
Every house was brightly lit, breaking the darkness of the night.
The towering buildings stand in stark contrast to the era in which they live.
Ring ring~
Suddenly, the ringing of a cell phone on the coffee table broke the silence.
Chen Huai'an hurriedly picked up his phone to explain, "It's a phone call, it's my mom calling."
Once the call connects, I promise to eat on time and find a girlfriend as soon as possible.
Lin Wan stood by the window, observing quietly, a hint of surprise and shock flashing in her large eyes.
She had seen wireless communication equipment before, and she had also seen the Secret Service agents deliberately showcasing walkie-talkies imported from the United States when they were making public announcements.
That thing is longer than an arm, and its size is as big as a giant radish!
But the phone Chen Huai'an was holding was only slightly larger than the palm of his hand, and its thin layer was not even as thick as a finger.
It looks extremely lightweight and portable; it can be hidden by clipping it into a book, making it an excellent tool for transmitting intelligence!
What she didn't know was that with the development of smartphones, people's demands for screens were getting higher and higher.
If we go back twenty years, the old-fashioned pocket-sized mobile phones were much smaller.
"Okay, okay, okay~ I'll definitely take it seriously!" Chen Huai'an replied casually on the phone, then turned around and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, Mom called to check up on me."
Lin Wan nodded slightly, a kind smile on her face, but her eyes were fixed on her phone, her big eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.
However, her experience as an underground party member over the past two years has tempered her and made her more calm and reserved.
Even if you see something you're interested in, don't show it. Otherwise, if you get excited after getting information, you would have been exposed long ago.
Lin Wan also noticed that the distance on the transparent panel had changed.
It was 0 before, and now it's 5.
Based on their positions, the two were exactly 5 meters apart.
Chen Huai'an hung up the phone and turned around to see the gaze directed at him.
Looking at her delicate face, I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, "What a beautiful girl!"
The two stood facing each other, their relationship evolving from armed adversaries to cooperative partners, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Lin Wan lowered her head and saw the shards of glass on the ground.
It was shattered by her single shot.
He bent down and carefully picked up the broken pieces: "I'm sorry, I'll pay you back for this."
Chen Huai'an also realized what was happening and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a broom and dustpan to clean up the broken glass on the floor.
He rubbed his stomach and asked with a smile, "I'm hungry. How about we grab something to eat and chat?"
Lin Wan had an important mission and had barely eaten dinner. Now, hearing about food, she couldn't help but feel hungry.
She pursed her red lips and nodded politely, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."
With wide, curious eyes, she wondered what food would be like 76 years from now.
Pa~!
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Huai'an snapped his fingers, a confident smile spreading across his face.
As a single person, my cooking skills have been honed through countless trials.
With her chin held high at a 45-degree angle, she asked arrogantly, "Would you like some seafood prawns, braised beef, or braised pork ribs?"
Lin Wan pursed her lips and thought for a moment before politely replying, "Braised beef is fine."
At the same time, he looked the man across from him up and down, secretly admiring him: He's good-looking and can even cook.
If someone can cook seafood, beef, and ribs, their culinary skills must be quite good.
Chen Huai'an quickly took out the pot to boil water, and then placed the frying pan on another stove.
As the oil in the pan heated up, I cracked the eggs from the refrigerator into the pan.
He cracked the egg with one hand in one smooth motion, displaying remarkable skill.
Once the water in the pot boiled, she turned around, opened the cupboard, and pointed her fingers around as if selecting something.
After ruling out seafood, shrimp, and ribs, I took out two bags of braised beef instant noodles from the cupboard!
Quickly sprinkle the noodles and seasonings into the pot, stir for two minutes, and then turn off the heat.
Then I poured it into two bowls and put a fried egg in each.
A few grains of beef, about the size of soybeans, floating on the surface prove that there is indeed beef.
Chen Huai'an placed two bowls of noodles on the table and greeted them with a smile, "The braised beef noodles are ready, come and have a taste."
The steaming white vapor made it look quite presentable, even for a bowl of instant noodles.
"Is this noodles?"
Lin Wan's red lips parted slightly, her big eyes filled with surprise.
She studied abroad and is fluent in Chinese, English, and French, so she has seen the world.
This is the first time I've ever seen such a bizarre way of cooking noodles.
Simply place a crooked piece of dried noodle into water, then pour in the seasoning packet, and it's ready.
In particular, a bag of seemingly shriveled, colorful things, when poured into a boiling pot, quickly turned into chopped vegetables.
It's absolutely amazing!
Lin Wan took the chopsticks, thanked them politely, and carefully picked up a noodle and chewed it slowly.
A rich, unprecedented aroma melted in my mouth: "Mmm~ So delicious!"
Chen Huai'an also picked up a fried egg and took a bite. The runny yolk flowed out, and the egg was cooked just right.
Although it looks like just an ordinary bowl of instant noodles, it was made with care.
After all, the two had just met and had a misunderstanding.
Even with the connection of the time-space system, the two became partners.
But since it was the first time they were having dinner together, and there were also professional reasons involved, they had to consider it.
So instead of soaking the noodles in hot water in a bowl, I cooked them all in one pot.
Everyone eats noodles from the same pot, so there's no need to worry about poisoning or anything like that.
Chen Huai'an went to great lengths to avoid any misunderstanding.
The two ate noodles while talking in hushed tones.
By exchanging information and sharing resources, they can accelerate their understanding of time travel.
When Chen Huai'an heard that the other person's panel only needed a 72-hour cooldown before they could travel back in time, he was incredibly envious.
He also wanted to take a three-day tour of the Republic of China era to experience the historical atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the funnel on the upper panel of the arm was still spinning, constantly displaying "loading".
After chatting for two hours, the two became quite familiar with each other.
Although there's still some distance between us, at least we don't have to be wary of each other anymore.
Lin Wan held the disposable paper cup in both hands, her big eyes showing a look of realization.
I have gained a deeper understanding of the current situation and time travel.
Thinking that he would be able to return to the Republic of China in three days, the thought of buying medicine came to mind.
He glanced around warily, then asked in a low voice, "In the world of 2025, could an ordinary person buy two vials of penicillin...?"
