Chapter 494: cake

For Chen Xin, there are many things that he needs to deal with every day.

Although he is not overworked, he does not have much time to rest and relax.

In addition to the free time after returning to his residence after finishing

the work of the research center, he occasionally sits under the ecological

dome of the research center and drinks some tea after he is busy dealing with

various things.

Tea is the output of the ecological dome. After the ecological dome was put

into use, the people of the biological research team planted many plants here,

including several tea trees.

Although there are very few tea leaves that can be harvested, Chen Xin did a

little bit, and occasionally dropped a few pieces into the cup, and then sat

in the rest area under the ecological dome to relax a little.

The ecological dome has now completed construction and planting of plants.

Relying on the energy provided by the geothermal power plant on the side, it

simulates the effect of sunlight in the past to provide photosynthesis for

these plants, and it also provides lighting for the entire ecological dome.

Because it uses a model that simulates natural light, there are a lot of lush

green plants around, which also makes the rest area under the ecological dome

very similar to before the disaster.

When people sit here, they sometimes unknowingly forget that it is the long

winter night after the meteorite falls. In a daze, they think that they are

before the disaster, enjoying a relaxing lunch break and afternoon tea.

If you just look up, the still black sky beyond the transparent dome will

remind you that it is still the end of the world.

For Chen Xin, he certainly does not say that forgetting the present is the end

of the world. After all, in terms of making people forget the present plight

and re-experience the beauty before the disaster, he made the holographic

image for himself in the refuge. The room is much better than here.

So for Chen Xin, the rest area in the Eco Dome is just a place for him to sit

and rest between work.

Although there is only a corridor between his refuge and the research center,

Chen Xin is still not used to going back to rest during working hours. Even

lunch is basically eaten with everyone in the research center’s cafeteria, and

he rarely returns. Eat at home.

is at most just after lunch at noon, I will come to the rest area to take a

break.

Other people in the scientific research center also know Chen Xin’s habit. He

usually doesn’t bother him during his lunch break. Even other people who

choose to rest in the rest area at noon will try to avoid Chen Xin. No Will

come to disturb him.

But today seems to be an exception. When Chen Xin was resting, someone came to

find him and broke the silence during his lunch break.

"Ingredients, I brought you something delicious. Would you like to try it?" Mo

Qingyan sat down in front of Chen Xin with a smile, and placed a covered plate

on the small table in front of him.

"Eat? What? It's so mysterious?" Chen Xin didn't bother seeing Mo Qingyan's

arrival. He didn't mind her interrupting her lunch break, but looked curiously

at the covered table. The plate, asked her: "It's also deliberately covered to

prevent me from seeing, what is it?"

After that, Chen Xin wanted to reach out and lift the lid, but Mo Qingyan

reached out and held the lid, and smiled at Chen Xin: "It's delicious, but you

have to guess it before you can eat it. I didn't guess it. I won’t eat it for

you!"

"Huh? What are you going to do? Can't you just eat it for me?" Chen Xin looked

at Mo Qingyan's hand holding the lid in a dumbfounded manner, with a

dumbfounded expression on her face.

"Guess it! I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, how can I make it so

easy for you to eat?" Mo Qingyan still smiled, but she still insisted on

letting Chen Xin guess.

Facing Mo Qingyan’s attitude, Chen Xin felt helpless, and could only follow Mo

Qingyan’s meaning and asked: "If you let me guess, can you give me some hints?

Just cover it up and let me guess. I can't guess what it is."

"If I give you a hint, you guessed it, then it's boring." Mo Qingyan refused

Chen Xin's request, the smile on her face was full of confidence.

"No tips?" Chen Xin touched his chin and looked at the plate on the table:

"This plate is not big, and the lid you use is relatively shallow. It

shouldn't be a big thing, and it doesn't look like it. It is covered for heat

preservation, so it should not be something hot."

Chen Xin tried to analyze, and at the same time he reached out and touched the

lid covering the plate. As expected, the lid was not hot.

Seeing Chen Xin starting to guess what was on the plate, Mo Qingyan's smile

was even brighter, as if she was certain that Chen Xin could not guess what

was inside.

However, Chen Xin glanced at her fingers, then lowered his head and sniffed

her clothes twice, and then said in surprise: "It's the cake? Where did you

get the flour?"

In the current situation where the supply of materials is quite scarce, cakes

are an out-and-out luxury. After all, both eggs and milk are very scarce. Chen

Xin also relies on special supplies provided by the state to get some every

month. Dairy products.

As for flour, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Chen Xin originally received flour

in the special supply that he would receive every month, but the shortage of

flour in the past two months has caused Chen Xin to have no flour recently.

In fact, the situation is simple. Because of the previous earthquake in the

southwest region, the state transferred all the food storage to support the

disaster-stricken areas, and naturally there was no flour that should have

been distributed.

Now Mo Qingyan suddenly made him a cake, which unavoidably surprised Chen Xin.

"You guessed it!" Mo Qingyan seemed a little lost when Chen Xin had guessed

the answer so easily, but she still opened the lid, revealing a small cake

that was not too exquisite in workmanship, but also covered with a layer of

cream. , There is also a layer of strawberry jam on it: "There are not many

materials, I only made a small one, you can taste it, it should still taste

good."

While speaking, Mo Qingyan took out a small fork from her body and handed it

to Chen Xin.

"Where did you get the flour? I remember there should be no flour at home? And

there is only a little sugar left. You won't use all the sugar?" Chen Xin was

not surprised by the cake itself, but it was even better. Where did Qing Yan

get the flour for the cake.

"Don't worry! I didn't move your sugar. The materials for this cake are

processed from the things grown in the ecological greenhouse. They want to

give you a surprise." Mo Qingyan explained to Chen Xin, while I urged him:

"Try it! I made this cake for a whole morning!"

Hearing Mo Qingyan's words, Chen Xin had to let go of his curiosity about the

situation in the ecological greenhouse, cut a piece of cake with a fork, and

put it in his mouth.
