The news channel broadcast information mostly related to the zombies in other cities.

Lin You watched for ten minutes, feeling a bit heavy-hearted, and then changed the channel to a comedy variety show.

However, now that she watched it, she felt the joy in the variety show had nothing to do with her.

She was still concerned about the disappearance of Shang Zhisheng and worried about the impact of the video on the breakfast shop.

She picked up the remote, turned off the TV, and headed to the kitchen.

At this rate, the breakfast shop will probably be unable to open tomorrow.

Until the controversy caused by that video is resolved, no customers will come to buy anything.

But she still had to eat breakfast. Lin You decided to prepare the breakfast ingredients for tomorrow in advance tonight.

After sleeping until she naturally woke up, she could just heat everything up and quickly have a steaming hot meal.

She opened the fridge and took a look; there was still plenty of meat at home.

Lin You quickly came up with an idea, washed the meat, chopped it, and placed it in a bowl. She also cut a carrot, a dozen small mushrooms, a small block of tofu, and washed a handful of vermicelli.

After chopping everything separately, the vermicelli needed to be soaked in warm water to soften before cutting it, or it would be too hard and impossible to cut.

The ingredients were rich, and from here on, it was easy to proceed.

She simply adjusted the seasoning, ensuring it didn’t overpower the natural flavor of the ingredients, and mixed them well in the bowl.

The dough had already been prepared, brought back from the breakfast shop and properly leavened.

Lin You went into the living room to fetch the dough, but just as she reached the table and picked up a bag, she heard a loud noise from the kitchen.

“Boom—”

What’s going on?

Lin You paused, quickly turned around, and ran back.

To her surprise, the bowl of filling she had just prepared had fallen from the table and was now upside down on the floor.

The loud noise just now was the sound of the metal bowl hitting the ground.

The filling hadn’t been wrapped yet and had already splattered everywhere.

But this didn’t make sense! The bowl had been placed very steadily just now. Why did it fall by itself?

Could it be that the chopped vegetable filling has the ability to fly?

Lin You thought for a while and then swept the floor, spotting a slightly trembling baby cabbage in the corner.

Perhaps Lin You had returned too quickly, and the baby cabbage didn’t have time to hide, so it searched for a corner.

Now, seeing Lin You’s gaze sweep over, it immediately pretended to be still, as if it hadn’t done anything.

Lin You couldn’t help but laugh in anger. She squatted down, picked it up in her hand, and asked, “Did you do this?”

The baby cabbage didn’t respond for a long time.

It seemed that if she didn’t press it, it wasn’t going to answer.

Lin You spoke coldly and asked again, “Tell me quickly, did you do this? If you lie, I’ll throw you out of the house immediately!”

Upon hearing this, the baby cabbage immediately became obedient, its leaves shaking twice to indicate a nod.

Just as she thought.

It seemed that the baby cabbage flew toward the table and pushed the metal bowl of filling off the edge.

Unexpectedly, it had quite a bit of strength.

Lin You didn’t know how to handle it at the moment. She placed the baby cabbage on the floor, ordered it to stand still, and not to move, then went to fetch the broom and cloth.

The floor was now covered in vegetable scraps, especially the vermicelli, which was too sticky. The broom probably wouldn’t be able to sweep it off, and the cloth wouldn’t clean it either—it would just stick to the floor.

So, she had to grab a box of tissues and decided to use the paper to clean up the mess on the floor.

The most frustrating part was that the vegetables weren’t only scattered on the floor; some had splashed onto the wall tiles as well.

Lin You couldn’t help but frown slightly. How long would this take to clean?

But as frustrated as she was, there was no other choice.

She could only use tissues, squat on the floor, and carefully pick up the vegetable scraps, throwing them into the trash.

As she picked up the pieces, she felt heartache. All these vegetables were wasted…

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but lift her gaze and glare at the baby cabbage beside her.

The baby cabbage shuddered at her gaze, as if it knew it was in the wrong, and suddenly hopped away.

Lin You sighed, thinking it was quite clever now. Usually, when she directed them to come out of the freezer, they were so slow.

After cleaning the floor, she returned the broom to its place in the living room.

However, when she returned to the kitchen, she found that the baby cabbage was pushing the metal bowl with its leaves, struggling to hop forward.

Lin You stood still, curious to see what it was going to do.

The baby cabbage stopped in front of her, using its leaves to lift the metal bowl. It wobbled it a bit, seemingly signaling something.

Lin You couldn’t help but laugh and bend down to take the metal bowl in her hands.

At this point, it wasn’t worth preparing another bowl of filling. It would take too long, so it would be better to make something simple for tomorrow morning.

How about making some scallion rolls with the leavened dough?

Lin You took out a rolling pin and began rolling the leavened dough into a thin sheet.

Then, she spread a layer of oil over the dough, sprinkled finely chopped scallions and salt on top.

She evenly spread the scallions, salt, and oil over the dough.

Starting from one side, she folded it into wide strips, layering one over the other. Once the dough was fully rolled, she cut the rolled dough into equal segments, then stacked them together.

She used chopsticks to gently press down the center, making the middle sink and causing the layers on the sides to stand up.

Finally, she gently pinched them into the shape of flower rolls.

But this step wasn’t enough; the dough still needed a second round of proofing.

Lin You placed them in a steamer, turned on the heat, and covered the pot, allowing them to proof for a bit longer.

About 20 minutes later, the flower rolls became slightly bigger than before, and at this point, they were ready to be steamed.

Lin You turned on the heat again, and once the flower rolls were fully steamed, she turned off the fire.

While they were still hot, she took the flower rolls out and placed them in a bowl. Looking at the pale and soft flower rolls, she couldn’t resist picking one up, blowing on it, and taking a bite.

The taste was incredibly fragrant, with the layers of the dough rich and surprisingly delightful.

The remaining ones needed to cool down outside before being placed in the fridge.

Lin You, holding the bowl with the flower rolls, placed them down and then picked up the baby cabbage, placing it on the living room sofa, saying, “No more causing trouble. If these flower rolls get ruined, I…”

Just as she was halfway through, she suddenly realized that the other baby cabbage was missing.

Where had it gone this time?

Lin You put the cabbage down and began searching the house for the other one.

After searching for a while, she finally found the other baby cabbage holding a small stool, jumping around the bedroom.

Was it planning a rebellion?

Lin You quickly commanded it to stop.

But the cabbage seemed crazed, hopping onto the bed one moment, then jumping onto the wardrobe the next.

It took quite a while, and only when it grew tired did it leap down from the top of the wardrobe.

Lin You held the cabbage in her hands, placing the small stool it had been holding onto the floor.

She felt somewhat exhausted, as this thing now acted like a little pet, naughty and uncontrollable.

Just as she resolved one baby cabbage, and before reaching the living room, she heard another noise outside.

Lin You hurried over, and there, on the living room coffee table, stood the baby cabbage that had knocked over the dumpling filling.

She saw that the remote control had been knocked off the table, her face darkening. She walked over, picked up the remote control from the floor, and sternly questioned, “Did you do this? Why did you knock over the remote control?”

But as she said this, Lin You couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.

It’s a vegetable, it can’t talk. What’s the use of lecturing it? This baby cabbage only causes trouble. If it continues, I’ll stew it.

But she soon dismissed the thought.

After all, she had brought the two cabbages home for training. If she always had to stew them every time the training didn’t go well, it would all be in vain.

So, Lin You didn’t argue with them anymore and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Just as she was brushing her teeth, she suddenly heard a faint sound of the door being pushed open.

Lin You turned her head and looked down, and sure enough, the baby cabbage that had been causing trouble was poking its head through the door crack.

It came right up to Lin You, seemingly fearless, and jumped straight into the sink.

What was it trying to do?

Lin You, with foam in her mouth, thought for a moment, then asked, “Do you want a bath?”

The cabbage shook its leaves, indicating yes.

Lin You had no choice but to turn on the tap and give it a wash.

She thought to herself, this cabbage sure knows about cleanliness.

But it was in a hurry. Before Lin You could even finish wiping off the water droplets, it jumped out of the sink.

It didn’t even care that some of its leaves were dragging on the ground. It just scampered forward.

Lin You was somewhat confused. She didn’t know what this cabbage was up to with all these antics.

But she was busy, so she quickly spat out the foam in her mouth, washed her face, and then hurriedly ran after the cabbage that had just left.

There were still some water droplets on its body, so there were water stains along the way.

Lin You soon found where it had gone—it had entered the kitchen.

What was it up to now? Was it planning to steal food?

But could vegetables eat their own kind?

With full confusion, Lin You scanned the kitchen, and finally, in a big pot, she found the cabbage.

The pot was placed on the stove, and the cabbage was lying flat on the bottom of the pot, facing up, its leaves slightly trembling.

Lin You could tell that it was trembling with pleasure.

It had no intention of jumping out but was enjoying lying at the bottom of the pot, now it was just waiting for Lin You to turn on the heat.

Suddenly, everything became very clear.

This baby cabbage had been purposely damaging things to get Lin You to stew it.

But it hadn’t expected Lin You not to mind the mess it made.

So, it went out on its own, cleaned itself in the bathroom, and then ran into the kitchen to lie in the pot.

Lin You looked helplessly at the cabbage in the pot, her hands resting on the stove as she thought for a while before fishing it out of the pot.

It wasn’t trained yet. How could she stew it now? That would waste all the feelings she’d built up for it.

The cabbage struggled in her hands, clearly unwilling.

As they walked, Lin You didn’t forget to tell it, “It’s not time for you to go in the pot yet. When the time comes, I’ll stew you. But until then, you have to listen to me. If you can’t, I’ll tie you to the table leg, and you won’t be able to run to the kitchen or wait to be eaten.”

Hearing this, the cabbage immediately began to tremble with fear.

Lin You thought of Fu Qingze’s words.

Once you grasp their weakness, the punishment measures are clear.

She continued, “For what you did wrong, you’ll stand in the corner and jump 100 times. I’ll keep an eye on you, no slacking.”

After saying this, Lin You sat back on the sofa and picked up her phone to browse the latest news online, glancing at the cabbage jumping in the corner.

Seeing that Lin You was watching, the cabbage didn’t dare slack off.

Lin You felt a sense of satisfaction. With the 100 jumps, the healing factor it carried should increase a lot, right?

Tomorrow, she would hand it over to Fu Qingze and see what the test results were.

The well-behaved cabbage she had on hand would just be used as a control group for testing.

It had only been a short time since it started moving, so the healing factor should be around the average level.

Moreover, since the two baby cabbages were showing different behaviors, they needed to be treated differently.

In front of the other baby cabbage, Lin You picked up the cabbage on the sofa, placed it on her lap, and gently massaged its leaves.

The cabbage in the corner saw this and seemed to be stimulated, jumping even more vigorously.

After dealing with the cabbage, Lin You finally had time to focus on the news on her phone.

The public opinion online was not improving, and there was still a lot of discussion about the breakfast shop.

What was strange was that in the previous evening’s news, the situation about the traffic route outside Ancheng was always broadcast daily, but today, there was no update.

Citizens were speculating whether there was indeed a problem with the vegetables transported by that route, and the authorities were conducting a self-check, so they couldn’t release the information.

This once again confirmed that there was a problem with the ingredients of the breakfast shop.

After all, the head of the Fifth Division, Yin Lu, had not made an appearance and had not spoken out about the incident.

Lin You couldn’t help but worry. If Shang Zhi Sheng and the captain of the Fifth Division didn’t come back soon, things would get out of control.
