Chapter 60 It's so delicious!
"Alright, young lady, take a look at the house first..."
Aunt Wang stepped aside to make room for Jian Yuqing: "I won't disturb you as you're tidying up."
Jian Yuqing thanked Aunt Wang and stepped into the room.
Just as Aunt Wang had described, the room was free of dust, probably because the previous tenant had just left.
And whether it was because the previous tenant left in a hurry, or simply because the previous tenant was generous, the house was fairly fully furnished:
For example, there were bowls, chopsticks and other tableware left in the cabinet against the wall, a torn-out calendar showing today's date hanging on the wall, and an old-fashioned television set on a wooden cabinet covered with a cloth cover embroidered with large flowers.
—Speaking of the game with the red dress, although the scenes look old, the decorations are really well done!
For example, that chubby old-fashioned television set can actually be turned on and used!
Although Jian Yuqing dialed all the channels, the TV only showed static and there were no programs, she was still very satisfied.
After all, she had only ever seen this kind of old-fashioned television in textbooks; it was said that even the Imperial Star Museum only had one or two, and they were only on display for major holidays. Let alone letting her use it, Jian Yuqing couldn't even get a chance to see it up close.
Worth it!
Just for this old-fashioned TV, this game is already worth the price of admission!
Jian Yuqing carefully turned off the TV and began to wander around the room with the mindset of "I am visiting a museum".
Just as she picked up the bright red thermos in the corner to examine it, there was a knock at the door.
"Knock knock..."
"Little girl, it's me..."
Aunt Wang's voice came from outside the door. Worried that the NPC had come to assign a task, Jian Yuqing immediately put down the thermos and went to open the door.
"How's the house? Are you satisfied?"
As soon as the door opened, Aunt Wang's warm smile greeted everyone.
And, a mouthwatering aroma of food wafts over.
Jian Yuqing looked down following the direction of the fragrance and immediately saw the plate that Aunt Wang was holding.
Seeing Jian Yuqing's head lowered, Aunt Wang raised the plate in her hand slightly: "Young lady, I came to give you the keys. I was in a hurry just now, and only when I turned around did I realize that I hadn't given you the house keys yet..."
She opened one hand, revealing the key she was holding in her palm.
"Then, I thought, you've only just arrived here, and it's getting dark, so you probably haven't finished eating yet. So I brought over some of the dishes we made for dinner."
"Here, these are braised pork meatballs. They're just some simple home-style dishes, don't be put off..."
As Aunt Wang spoke, she shoved the plate and keys into Jian Yuqing's hands without a word, saying, "Don't be so polite with me. I live right next to your room, see, it's that one, right?"
This was the first time Jian Yuqing had ever met someone so enthusiastic. Caught off guard, she was given a plate and could only nod and thank them, holding the plate in a daze.
"Don't mention it!" Aunt Wang waved her hand dismissively. "If you haven't had enough to eat, if you're missing anything, or if anything comes up, just come to me!"
"Just don't go out by yourself."
Aunt Wang suddenly lowered her voice: "You've seen it too, our building's security guard is old, his eyesight and hearing are not good, so he keeps those four big dogs."
"But don't be afraid... that dog is very well-behaved and stays in the security room. As long as you don't go out, the dog won't move."
"Hey, by the way, you'd better eat this meat quickly, or it'll get cold and taste bad..."
Jian Yuqing felt something was off after hearing this, but Aunt Wang continued speaking quickly, so Jian Yuqing could only concentrate and listen attentively.
"And another thing..." Aunt Wang continued, "Our building is quite old, so most of the streetlights in the corridors and stairwells are broken."
"For safety's sake, you shouldn't go out at night. You've seen it yourself, the passageway is piled with clutter. It'll be dark then, and it's a minor issue if you bump into someone's things, but it would be much worse if you slip and fall..."
Jian Yuqing nodded, thinking about the rules and things to pay attention to in this game, while waiting for Aunt Wang to announce the game tasks. Then she heard Aunt Wang change the subject and push Jian Yuqing into the house.
"Alright, go eat your meat now, and make sure it's hot!"
What...?
Watching the door close in front of her, Jian Yuqing thought with some disappointment: So this really is a food game after all...
After all, as everyone knows, food-themed games are meant to be relaxing, with no missions and allowing players to do whatever they want.
This might be why the woman in red made the interior of the house so detailed and realistic – after all, players don't have anything else to do, so she can only create an environment and atmosphere to give them something new.
Jian Yuqing glanced down at the still steaming plate in her hand, sighed, turned around and put the plate and keys on the table, then went to the cupboard to get chopsticks and a bowl.
Well, since I've already spent the money, I might as well eat it...
Let's also see how well the taste system is done in the game "Red Dress"—
"Hmm!"
Jian Yuqing's eyes suddenly lit up.
good to eat!
The plump, round meatballs, soaked in a thick, oily sauce, had their original color completely obscured, leaving only a deep, glossy brown sheen.
When you pick it up with chopsticks, you can feel the slightly chewy outer skin formed after frying and reducing the sauce. Before you even take a bite, the aroma wafts up in delicate wisps.
And the moment she bit through that "outer shell"—the rich sweet and salty sauce, the spiciness of star anise and cinnamon, and the succulent, full-bodied meat after being simmered for so long... made Jian Yuqing squint her eyes in enjoyment.
She truly lives up to her name, wearing red!
Even the most ordinary food game can be made to this level of excellence!
Look at the texture of this meat!
Although Jian Yuqing couldn't tell what kind of meat it was—it was probably just one of those few kinds anyway—it was exceptionally springy. She'd give it a perfect score of 100 just for the texture alone!
Jian Yuqing chewed heartily, not even noticing the meat juices oozing from the meatballs and dripping down her chin.
As she ate, she ate faster and faster, to the point where she swallowed them whole without even chewing.
"what……"
Jian Yuqing leaned back in her chair, looking at the plate with only a little sauce left in front of her, and patted her round belly. "It's so delicious..."
She was so satisfied that she started to feel sleepy after eating, and her eyelids began to feel heavy.
Let me take a nap in the game first...
Jian Yuqing forced herself to fall onto the bed.
I'll wait until I'm not sleepy before exiting the game...
……
"Knock knock..."
"Knock knock..."
Who is it... so early in the morning...?
Jian Yuqing was awakened by the knocking on the door and opened her eyes feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
Upon seeing the completely unfamiliar, simple ceiling, she sat bolt upright in bed. It wasn't until she saw the old-fashioned television set around her and the plates on the table that Jian Yuqing realized she was still in a game.
Did she sleep that soundly "last night"?!
The knocking on the door continued. "Little girl, little girl, are you awake yet...?"
"It's me, I've come to collect yesterday's dishes..."
It's that NPC called "Aunt Wang".
Jian Yuqing quickly jumped out of bed: "Coming, coming!"
As she got closer to the door, Jian Yuqing suddenly smelled the aroma of food wafting in from outside, through the crack in the door.
She didn't know how to describe the smell: it was an extremely fresh and warm meaty aroma, like a wisp of warm steam, carrying the heat and moisture from the pot, silently entering her nostrils and directly awakening her body.
One second she was thinking how realistic the game was, with NPCs even taking back the plates, and the next second, the whole world went silent.
Jian Yuqing felt as if her stomach had been suddenly squeezed tightly, and hunger surged up like a tidal wave; her throat moved uncontrollably as she swallowed the saliva that had instantly flooded her mouth after smelling the aroma.
It smells so good...
Jian Yuqing's eyes glazed over, landing blankly on the door panel, as if she were sleepwalking, her steps unsteady as she followed the scent forward.
"Squeak—"
The door opened, and Aunt Wang's smiling face came into view.
However, Jian Yuqing's gaze did not linger on Aunt Wang at all—her eyes passed over Aunt Wang and were fixed on the pot behind Aunt Wang, where steam was rising from the stove.
—That alluring fragrance comes from there.
"Young lady, did I disturb you?"
Aunt Wang's mouth was still opening and closing, but the words she spoke seemed to be coming through a thick layer of frosted glass, unable to reach Jian Yuqing's ears.
"Aunt Wang..."
Jian Yuqing's fingers unconsciously clenched, her nails digging into her palms, causing pain, but this did nothing to distract her from the overwhelming desire that came from the deepest part of her body.
She stared intently at the pot, swallowing repeatedly. "What's cooking over there...?"
"Ah, that..."
"Those are the fresh meat wontons I cooked..."
Looking at Jian Yuqing's eager face, Aunt Wang showed no displeasure at being ignored; instead, her smile deepened: "It's soup made with meat bones..."
"Would you like some, little girl?"
