Yang Ying carefully sprinkled the sauce packets and seasoning packets into the boiling water, shaking the bag to not waste a single granule. Finally, she opened the sauce packet, swished it a few tis in the boiling water, and then fished out the packet.
Yang Kai took out a large piece of fish, placed it in the boiling water, and started cooking.
Yang Xiao smiled; these siblings really knew how to live. Cooking the fish in the instant noodle soup naturally made it very delicious, even enhancing the fish’s flavor.
After the fish was cooked, Yang Ying put the instant noodles into the fish soup, and within monts, a bowl of fish noodle soup was ready.
Yang Xiao knew they must be lacking condints and staple foods like rice and noodles.
It was difficult to endure without those staple foods for a few months after consuming them regularly.
Although the Ice Fish was nutritious, eating it long-term without staple foods or even basic condints was a painful ordeal.
That’s also why two packets of instant noodles could sell for 500 Crystal Coins.
Yang Ying prepared three tal bowls to serve the fish noodle soup.
Yang Xiao laughed,
"I just had lunch, I am still full. You two go ahead and eat."
"How can that be?"
"What’s wrong with that? You two eating is good enough."
"Is Big Brother looking down on the fish noodle soup I made? My cooking skills are good, try it and see."
Yang Ying said insistently.
Yang Xiao couldn’t bear to disappoint her and said:
"Just serve a bowl of soup, that will be fine."
"Alright."
Yang Ying giggled, served a bowl of noodle soup, and brought it to Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao tasted it and found it quite good, he praised,
"Not bad, very tasty!"
Yang Ying was happy and asked if Yang Xiao wanted another bowl. Yang Xiao quickly said no, he couldn’t even finish the first.
The two of them didn’t hesitate further, and shared the remaining noodle soup and fish.
Both siblings ate with joy; it was clear that it had been a long ti since they had enjoyed such delicious food.
Yang Ying even picked so noodles with her chopsticks and offered them to her brother:
"Ah, too much, I can’t eat it all."
Her brother Yang Kai was stunned for a mont, then gave the noodles back to her, saying:
"You need to grow, eat more."
Seeing the siblings showing modesty over a few noodles, Yang Xiao felt uncomfortable.
This pair of siblings was the only young children he had encountered in the post-apocalyptic world, and for so reason, a sudden sense of responsibility to protect them welled up inside him.
"Mmm, slls good, who the hell is secretly eating instant noodles?"
A rugged voice ca from the darkness in the distance.
Upon hearing this, the siblings shivered and looked very nervous.
Brother Yang Kai quickly whispered to his sister:
"Eat quickly, eat."
The soup was hot; Yang Ying wanted to eat quickly but couldn’t, so she just sucked in a few chopsticks’ worth of noodles and swallowed them down hastily.
A tall young man approached from the darkness.
"Who is it, I wonder? The two little brats, huh? Where did you steal the instant noodles from? Can’t even show so respect to your elder?"
Yang Kai imdiately handed over his unfinished bowl of noodle soup, smiling apologetically:
"Brother Hao, it’s not stolen. We dug it out from a convenience store ruins outside, just one packet, and we were just eating. Didn’t expect you to be resting at ho today."
Brother Hao took the noodle soup, slurped loudly and said continuously:
"Mmm, not bad, it’s been a long ti since I’ve had such delicious noodle soup. Be careful next ti you hog it all to yourselves, or I’ll kick you both out. I took you in because I pitied you, don’t be ungrateful."
"Brother Hao, how could we, I even saved a pack for you."
Yang Kai took out a pack of instant noodles he had saved earlier and handed them to Brother Hao.
Brother Hao took the instant noodles and laughed heartily, saying:
"Alright, kid, Brother Hao will accept this. Be more clever in the future, help add so firewood, go outside to fetch so snow to boil water. I want to enjoy these instant noodles, haha."
Then, Brother Hao suddenly saw Yang Xiao sitting off to the side.
The light was dim, and he mistook Yang Xiao for a friend Yang Kai had brought over from outside, and waved his hand, saying:
"You kids, always causing trouble, scram now, don’t delay my al."
Yang Ying quickly walked to Yang Xiao, signaling him to get up and leave, while bowing to Brother Hao:
"Brother Hao, he’s my cousin from before, we just happened to et on the street today, so I brought him over to hang out, please don’t be mad, we’ll leave now."
Brother Hao glanced at Yang Ying, sneered and said:
"Ah, Ying, it’s too bad you’re too young. If you were a few years older, Brother Hao might consider making you my woman. But, I can wait, hehe, you’ll be tastier when you’ve filled out a bit more."
Yang Ying’s face turned beet red.
Though she was only twelve, she already understood many things.
Yang Kai ca back from outside with a bucket of ice, hurried over and said:
"Brother Hao, the ice is here, it will be ready soon."
While saying this, he signaled his sister to leave quickly.
Yang Xiao had been silent. When he first entered the basent and saw the siblings sleeping in the rcedes Audi cars, he thought they were safe here, only lacking food and evolution resources.
Seeing the situation now, he guessed that the siblings were also being bullied in this underground garage. The siblings were young, with a low evolution level, unable to obtain more evolution resources, and had to rely on others, watching people’s faces.
The siblings probably had nowhere else to go; even if they suffered humiliation, they could only endure to survive here.
Yang Xiao imdiately rembered his ti at Kongming Academy, when Huang Wen and others couldn’t even get a piece of cookie, and many girls had to offer themselves for a cookie.
An urge to kill surged in Yang Xiao’s heart, he stood up and said mildly:
"Brother Hao, right? Give the instant noodles back to Yang Kai."
Brother Hao was startled, looking at Yang Xiao as if seeing a lunatic.
Yang Ying and her brother quickly said:
"Brother Yang Xiao, we don’t want it anymore, that was to honor Brother Hao, let’s leave."
"Brother Hao, this is my cousin, he hit his head when he was young, it’s not working quite right, please don’t take it the wrong way."
Yang Xiao gave Yang Kai a blank look, "You’re the one who hit your head."
Seeing Yang Xiao like this, Yang Kai and his sister were almost driven mad, suddenly regretting bringing Yang Xiao here, they shouldn’t have accepted Yang Xiao’s instant noodles.
If Brother Hao got angry, he might kick them out of this underground garage, or even assault his sister, Yang Ying.
"Brother Yang Xiao, please, let’s just leave."
Tears welled up in Yang Ying’s eyes.
Brother Hao suddenly bellowed,
"It’s too late! It’s already too late to leave now, kid, what did you just say? Say it again."
"Are you deaf? Fine, I’ll say it again, give the instant noodles back to Yang Kai."
"Ah, I must be seeing ghosts today, eting such a greenhorn who dares to order Brother Hao around? Yang Kai, no offense, but you two need to get out of this garage right now. Also, your cousin’s brain might really be damaged, or maybe there’s water in it..."
"Smack!"
A crisp sound.
Brother Hao was baffled, staring at Yang Xiao dumbfounded while touching his swollen left cheek.
Yang Kai and his sister almost collapsed, feeling like jumping off a building.
