"Strange, there are fewer people here today," Yufei said as she walked out of the teleportation array, carrying Xiao Hei.
There was an observation platform in front of the formation, which was usually used by researchers to study the formation. Now it was empty.
Yufei walked outside again. The place, which was usually bustling with people, was now deserted.
This made Yufei wary. Had this place been taken down by a foreign organization?
But it doesn't look like it; there's no sign of a fight.
"Yufei, you're back~!"
Uncle Li, an old acquaintance, walked quickly to Yufei with a surprised look and asked...
"Hmm~ There's nothing much going on over there right now, so I came back first. I haven't finished my summer homework yet, and I also wanted to come back to improve myself."
Uncle Li, what's going on? Why is the base so deserted right now?
As she spoke, Yufei looked around again.
"Hahaha~ They've all gone to participate in the Luzhou World Expo. They've made quite a few research results lately, haven't they? The Emperor wants us to go and show our mettle."
Uncle Li said with a proud look on his face.
"That's really good news!" Yufei was also proud of Daxia.
"Yes! Perfect timing! The World Expo starts the day after tomorrow, you've come at just the right time."
If you had arrived a day later, I would have gone too, and you might have missed the exhibition. Would you like to come together?
Minister Li invited Yufei to see the results of their research over the past period.
"Is that okay? Can I bring my parents and grandparents along?"
Although her parents and grandparents don't know what she's doing right now.
But she still wanted to share with them the results of what she had accomplished during this time.
Even if she can't openly and proudly tell them, "Look! Your daughter also contributed!"
As long as people express admiration when they see these things, Yufei feels that all her efforts over the past time have been worthwhile.
"Of course! This isn't anything that needs to be kept secret. I have some Expo tickets here. Are you going with your family, or are you coming with me first?"
As he spoke, Minister Li pulled out a stack of World Expo tickets from the inner lining.
"Of course I want to go with my parents!" Yufei said playfully after receiving the tickets from Minister Li.
"Yes, yes, yes~ It's my fault for being so clueless. I'll have Xiao Tang take you home later. I need to get to Luzhou City tonight, so I won't be able to accompany you."
Minister Li glanced at his watch, realizing they were running out of time, and gave Yufei a few instructions.
He called out to his secretary, Tang Enzhe, and then hurriedly left.
When Yufei got home, it was already 9 p.m. Li Aiguo and Liu Meili were at home watching "Struggle" and chatting.
A knocking sound rang out at the door.
"Who is it?" Who could be coming here so late at night?
Li Aiguo dried his feet, which he had just soaked in hot water, and went to open the door.
"Ta-da! Dad, I'm home!" Yufei happily opened her arms and gave Li Aiguo a big hug.
"Oh! My daughter's back! Why didn't you call first? I could have come pick you up."
Li Aiguo spun Yufei around in his arms and put her down, then turned and called out into the inner room.
"Honey, look who's back! Your daughter's back!"
"Yufei~!" Hearing the noise, Liu Meili forgot about watching TV, jumped up from the sofa, and ran to the door.
Happy, she hugged Yufei tightly, and Yufei hugged Liu Meili back just as hard.
"Mom~ I'm back, I missed you so much~" Yufei snuggled against Liu Meili's shoulder, acting all cute.
Liu Meili hugged Yufei for a while, then looked at her with a loving expression, "You've lost weight~ Why didn't you ask your dad to pick you up? It's too dangerous for you to come back alone."
As expected of a married couple, they asked the same questions, which meant she could answer them together.
"Uncle Li asked Uncle Tang to bring me back. With soldiers escorting me, who would dare to bump into me? Mom and Dad, don't worry."
Yufei reassured them.
"Okay, okay~ As long as you're safe~ Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"
Li Aiguo naturally took Yufei's suitcase and went back inside.
Liu Meili noticed that Yufei had lost weight and was worried that she wasn't eating well while she was away. Now that she was back, she was determined to help her eat better.
"Yes~" Yufei wasn't actually very hungry, but she was missing her mom's stir-fried mixed peppers.
This is a local specialty of Longyuan, you can't find it anywhere else. It's a very appetizing dish that goes well with rice.
Of course, you can also eat it as a snack, and it's so delicious that you'll want to keep eating it. Just thinking about it makes Yufei's mouth water.
"Okay~ I'll make it for you." Liu Meili thought for a moment, knowing that her daughter liked mixed chili peppers, and always kept some in the jar.
"Daughter, would you like some fried beef with salt?" Li Aiguo's voice came from Yufei's room.
"Yes~" Li Aiguo's signature snack, salt-fried beef, is also one of Yufei's favorites.
Since Li Aiguo had already asked, Yufei would definitely want it. After putting Yufei's suitcase in her room, Li Aiguo went into the kitchen. While the child's mother was cooking, he also wanted to prepare the ingredients.
Yufei sat on the sofa, turning on the TV, waiting for her parents to feed her.
Mixed chili peppers are a type of food pickled in a jar; they are a product obtained by pickling chili peppers and flour.
After marinating, it will emit a unique aroma. It can be paired with fish to make a soup, and its sour and spicy flavor is irresistible.
It can also be stir-fried in oil. After stir-frying, its unique aroma is fully released, and the sourness is not as strong, only a slight sourness and spiciness.
It's a favorite snack among children in Longyuan, but adults usually don't let them eat too much, as it can easily cause internal heat, constipation, and difficulty defecating.
Yufei remembered that in her past life she loved to eat this, but her mother wouldn't let her eat too much, and they were always outsmarting each other over it.
Now, her mother, out of consideration for her daughter's long absences, probably doesn't care about the negative impact of this situation.
This dish is very easy to make; Liu Meili finished it in less than 10 minutes.
Yufei couldn't wait and immediately put a small lump in her mouth.
Liu Meili gently slapped Yufei's hand.
"Grab your chopsticks—why the rush? Go wash your hands right now!"
"Okay~" Yufei didn't mind her mom's kiss and pat after tasting the long-lost flavor.
In a great mood, I went to the bathroom and quickly washed my hands.
They started enjoying their meal on the sofa.
"Hmm~ You should eat less of this, it'll make you feel hot~ Let me heat up some more food for you."
Once he realized this mother was his biological daughter, and the initial intimacy wore off, reason prevailed over Gao Feng. Remembering that this stuff couldn't be eaten in large quantities, he quickly told Yufei...
"Mmm~" Yufei focused on savoring the food, nodding perfunctorily.
Liu Meili shook her head. Sigh... oh well, let's cheer her up today. Tomorrow I'll give her some bitter melon juice to cool her down.
Li Aiguo then served his signature dish, salt-fried beef, which is made by marinating and air-drying beef, adding dried chili peppers and white sesame seeds, and stir-frying it in hot oil over high heat.
As for the specifics of how to make it, Yufei wasn't quite sure either. Li Aiguo said it was his specialty dish and he wouldn't reveal it to others for the time being.
She always made it so mysteriously that Yufei never learned how, but it tasted really good.
It tastes quite different from the beef sold in the market. In her previous life, she worked in another city for nearly 10 years, and sometimes she missed her father's salt-fried beef and wanted to buy it from outside.
I just can't find that flavor anywhere else. It's perfectly tender, and the marinated and air-dried beef retains its unique aroma.
It definitely doesn't have a gamey smell, and the oil used has a special aroma. Every time Yufei finishes eating beef, the leftover oil is especially delicious with rice.
The subtle spiciness and the aroma of white sesame seeds make this snack surprisingly delicious; the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.
