Chapter 11: Space Makes Beef Bone and Bean Curd

After wandering around in the black market for an afternoon, it was almost evening.

Iron Orchid couldn’t wait to go back to the space to cook, so she started cooking directly in the space.

Previously, her ingredients were limited, and she wanted to make braised meat with bean curd.

Now that she had so many delicious things, she had to make it richer!

So, pork, beef bones, eggs, and bean curd were all cooked in one pot!

Fortunately, she had previously put some kitchen utensils and seasonings from her home kitchen into the space, making cooking very convenient now.

The pork was washed and marinated with soy sauce, the beef bones were blanched in cold water, the bean curd was soaked, and the scallions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers were prepared.

Heat oil in a pot, add ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, stir-fry the beef bones until fragrant, then add soy sauce and dark soy sauce to stir-fry, add three large bowls of water and bring to a boil over high heat.

While the beef bones were boiling, Iron Orchid started making noodles, preparing to cook a noodle soup.

Put flour in a large bowl, add a little water, stir with chopsticks while adding water.

Until the flour becomes flocculent, then knead it into a large dough, cover with a damp cloth and let it rise.

After finishing all this, Iron Orchid was starving.

She ate a big apple and a banana, and her stomach felt a little better.

Because she was in a hurry, Iron Orchid directly used high heat to boil the beef bones, and it was done in about 30 minutes.

Opening the lid, a rich meaty aroma wafted out.

Iron Orchid threw the soaked bean curd into the pot and stir-fried it together, then added the marinated pork and stir-fried it for a minute.

Finally, she cracked two eggs, sprinkled some chopped scallions on top, covered the lid and simmered for a while.

While it was simmering, Iron Orchid directly rolled the risen dough into thin slices and cooked a pot of noodle soup in a clay pot.

The noodle soup was finished, and the pork, beef bone, egg, and bean curd braised dish was also done.

Iron Orchid didn’t want to serve it, so she directly hugged the clay pot with her clothes and sat next to the iron pot, eating with gusto.

She slurped down the fragrant noodle soup, warming her heart.

She tore off the soft, spicy beef bones with her hands, and they were chewy and springy.

The tender pork was swallowed one piece after another, it was so satisfying.

The delicious poached egg paired with the refreshing bean curd was simply delicious!

Iron Orchid was very satisfied with this meal.

After finishing her meal, she didn’t idle, she went for a walk around the black land, thinking about what kind of food to plant.

After finishing her rounds, she lay down on the bamboo house’s lounge chair and rested for a while.

Anyway, time in the space was faster than the outside world, so it didn’t matter if she stayed a little longer.

When she came out of the space again, it was already past 6:30 pm outside.

Iron Orchid walked to the nearest bus stop, got on the bus, and rode for over an hour before arriving home.

The house was pitch black.

The storage room at the back was also quiet.

That shouldn’t be right.

Zhang Cui and her family had been locked up for a day and a night, would they be so obedient?

Iron Orchid held her breath and tiptoed towards the door.

Sure enough, she heard a few faint voices coming from inside.

“Mom, I’m really hungry, when will we be able to get out?”

Hu Xiaolian’s complaining voice sounded.

Zhang Cui: “Your grandma said a few days ago that she would come to live with us, probably tomorrow, when she comes we can get out.”

Hu Xiaolian: “Really? That’s great, when I get out, I will definitely not let Iron Orchid that bitch off!”

Zhang Cui: “That dead girl is a bomb in the house, she must be dealt with.”

Hu Zhuzi: “Why don’t you marry her off, your wife’s village doesn’t have a fool looking for a wife…”

“No.” Zhang Cui: “With that dead girl’s crazy energy, what if she kills the fool, then wouldn’t I be responsible, it’s best to send her far away.”

Hu Xiaolian had a flash of inspiration: “Mom, why don’t we sign her up for the countryside program? The poorer the place, the better, so she can’t come back!”

Hu Zhuzi clapped his hands: “Hey, that’s a good idea!”

Zhang Cui: “Keep your voice down, don’t let the dead girl hear you.”

Hu Xiaolian: “Mom, the house has been quiet for half a day, that bitch probably went out, we don’t have to be afraid.”

Zhang Cui: “Yes, your method is good, we’ll sign the dead girl up for the countryside program tomorrow when we go out.

As for the compensation, we must find it before she goes to the countryside, I don’t believe she can hide it anywhere!”

Hu Zhuzi’s eyes lit up: “Then we’ll sell her dad’s job, that’s a lot of money!”

Hu Xiaolian: “Dad, you can’t sell the job, find the leader of the textile factory and exchange it for an easier job, I’ll take it.

Give the extra money to you to find a temporary job, that way you’ll have a job, your back will be straight, and people won’t look down on you.”

“Hehe, my daughter is still smart, when I have a job, see who dares to say anything!”

Hu Zhuzi chuckled, the more he thought about it, the better it felt.

Zhang Cui: “When we get the compensation and the job, we’ll ask someone to sell this house, then buy a new one in a strange place, and no one will gossip.”

Iron Orchid: …

Good heavens, she exclaimed good heavens!

This family is going to skin her alive, they won’t leave her anything.

Since that’s the case, she can’t just sit back and let them do this, can she?

Iron Orchid decided to empty Zhang Cui’s family first.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, that’s the kind of revenge that feels good!

Zhang Cui’s family lived in a dilapidated apartment building in the west of the city.

At first, Zhang Cui pretended to be nice, and even specially brought the original owner to her house for a meal.

Although the place was remote, Iron Orchid still found it following her memory.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and a slap in the face is the most satisfying!

Tonight, Iron Orchid is going to be a villain!

It was already 9 pm, and everyone was asleep.

Iron Orchid was dressed in black, her hair was tied up, and her face was covered with a black cloth.

In the dark, no one would recognize her.

In the apocalypse, Iron Orchid learned many life skills.

Picking locks was one of them.

In less than 5 seconds, the door was pried open.

Iron Orchid quickly went inside and first found Zhang Cui’s grandmother’s room.

This old woman was no good.

When the original owner came here before, she was all up in arms.

Her mouth was also very poisonous, she kept muttering about “worthless” and “bad luck.”

If the original owner hadn’t been well-educated, she would have left with a slam of the chopsticks.

Zhang Cui’s family of three were wolves in sheep’s clothing, and the old woman was a mean and bitter frog.

They were all bad people!

This old hag was sleeping soundly, hugging her blanket.

Iron Orchid couldn’t stand to see her so comfortable, she slapped her twice with two big slaps.

Humph! What are you sleeping for, I’m still working!

The old woman’s face was numb from the slap.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and before she could scream, Iron Orchid knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck.

She grabbed a smelly sock and stuffed it in her mouth, then tied her hands to the bed frame.

Only then did Iron Orchid start to swagger and collect things.
