Chapter 87 Breakfast
Waking up in the morning, the cake still has the last process.

The caramel powder made before has been used up, and some caramel needs to be made, and then a thin caramel syrup is made, which is poured around the cake to form a beautiful flowing contrast.

"Okay, it's done!" Xiaozhi's excited voice sounded, and he specially added a clapping voice.

"Can I eat?"

"Dad, don't you share it with others? You want to eat this cake alone? When you recall this sweet moment in the days to come, don't you feel that something is missing?"

"I said, Xiaozhi, what books have you been reading recently?"

"Let me see...Sister Lujin was maintaining the automatic sprinkler system at the agricultural base yesterday...Sister Xiaoyu edited the video last night and went to bed after five o'clock...Dad, bring the cake and share it with Sister Qiuyi. "

"Ah... won't it be abrupt?"

"Today is the weekend, weekend morning is the most beautiful moment, go to dad, don't forget the grape incident last time, women like small gifts, this is also good for dad and sister Qiuyi to cooperate better in the future .”

"Okay. Anything else?"

"Sincerity."

As the top leader of the Han'an base, Zhang Qiuyi lived in a large suite on the top floor of the hotel.

Of course she doesn't live alone, Tang Lujin and Xia Xiaoyu also live here temporarily in the same room.

Under Xiaozhi's guidance, the cake was also specially plated, held on a metal plate from the hotel, and a metal lid was added on it.

Right now Tangning was standing outside the girls' residence.

Click on the communication: "Qiu Yi, are you awake?"

"Ah, wake up, Tangning, is there something wrong?"

"Uh...I'm outside your dormitory right now, and I have a little dessert for you."

"Ah, wait..." Zhang Qiuyi's tone was a little flustered: "I'll tidy up a little..."

After a while, the door of the dormitory opened. Zhang Qiuyi was wearing slippers and a long shirt-style nightgown. She tied her hair and said, "Come in."

"is it okay?"

"Well, just keep your voice down. Xiao Yu stayed up all night yesterday, so he probably didn't sleep for long."

After finishing talking, I went to the bedroom to tinker.

The deluxe suite has a living room and a small dining table near the window overlooking the river.

The Han'an Bridge crosses the river from the south of the base, and the No.1 People's Hospital in the distance on the opposite road can be vaguely seen.

Around the hospital is a small town formed by the hospital.

On the left side of the town are the factory buildings in the high-tech zone, and on the right side is the gentle slope surrounded by the Tuojiang River. Now it has become a circle of land, planted with soybeans, broad beans and wheat.

The water in the Tuojiang River has become very clear, and bursts of light mist rise from the woods by the river.

In the early morning of the 24th year of Datong, the river scenery composed of green water, green mountains and rural towns is still very beautiful.

But if you look carefully, there are permanent reinforced concrete fortifications on the approach bridges at both ends of the Han'an Bridge, and a large amount of ammunition and magnetic storm heavy machine guns are deployed inside.

On the periphery of the small town in front, apart from the side facing the bridge, a tall red city wall has also been built.

It was rebuilt from container boards in the high-tech zone, with designed passages and bunkers in the middle, made of reinforced concrete stones.

On the south side of the town, there is a high wall of barbed wire, extending from the periphery of the city wall to the waterline.

You can't see the other side here, and there is also a high wall there, extending from the north of the town to the river on the other side, enclosing the agricultural base and the bridge.

Below the three city walls, there are thick iron gates, which can be closed at any time.

In fact, in the main control room of the base, there is also a curtain wall moved from the Wanda Cinema, which is always monitored by satellites and drones in real time, always paying attention to the movement in this area.

Zhang Qiuyi came out, no longer the usual white shirt and trousers, experimental shoes and anti-static shoes, but a beautiful short skirt and thin sweater: "This place faces the southwest, the returning birds in the evening, the setting sun and sunset glow, very beautiful. "

"You work so late every day, Xiaoyu told you, right?" Tangning asked.

Zhang Qiuyi smiled slightly: "I haven't thanked you yet, what is this?"

Tangning lifted the lid, "Xiaozhi taught me to make it, but I don't know how it tastes."

"Andalusian Praline Cake?" The lid opened, and looking at the four pieces of cake inside, Zhang Qiuyi's big eyes widened: "How is it possible? This is something that only exists in the virtual city!"

"There is a Ruyi bakery in the virtual city of Shudu, and this is the most famous one there. Let me tell you first, if it doesn't taste good, it's because Xiaozhi didn't understand the recipe, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Qiuyi took the two cakes on the plate and put them in the refrigerator. They were for Tang Lujin and Xia Xiaoyu. She made two more glasses of milk and brought them over, "Tangning, sit down."

The two sat down by the window, Zhang Qiuyi picked up the fork and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you Xiaozhi." Tangning also picked up the fork, "Try it?"

Zhang Qiuyi nodded, forked a small piece of cake into his mouth, tasted it silently, but lowered his head again.

A tear dripped onto the skirt.

"Autumn?"

Zhang Qiuyi wiped away tears, raised her head and smiled: "It tastes very good, and the level of texture and taste is similar to that of Virtual City."

"Then what's wrong with you?" Tangning asked.

"I think of my mother." Zhang Qiuyi shook her head lightly.

"Before the catastrophe happened, my mother was a top-notch baker in Shu City, but after the catastrophe..."

"When the disaster happened, my mother and I were at my grandmother's house in the suburbs. My mother said that my father is a soldier, a very good soldier, and he will definitely come to pick us up."

"Later he really came. We thought he was here to pick us up, but he said he had a mission. He wanted to take important scientists to the settlement of Shudu, and he couldn't take us away..."

"My mother and grandma cried and begged him for a long time, saying that they don't have to leave, but they want my father to take me with them."

"I cried and struggled, and he put me between my legs and tied me with a safety belt..."

"I watched those horrible undead people rushing towards grandma's house... Dad drove the car and drove them away with the front of the car... didn't even look back..."

"... There is also a kindergarten in the settlement. The teacher asked us to draw the profession we most want to pursue in the future, so I drew my mother."

"Dad was furious when he saw it, tore the painting to pieces, and scolded the baker as the most useless job in the settlement, and wanted me to grow up to be a doctor or a scientist..."

Zhang Qiuyi's tears fell again: "Later, I really became a doctor and a scientist, but I don't want to talk to him anymore."

Tangning handed her the tissue, wanting to comfort her but didn't know how to comfort her, "Actually, my mother is the same as your mother."

"Really?" Zhang Qiuyi took the tissue to wipe her tears and snot, feeling ashamed: "Your mother is a researcher of our Academy of Sciences."

"That was after we arrived at the settlement." Tangning said, "She was a doctor before, and then our family went to Manzhou. Besides taking care of our father and son, our daily routine is to tidy up the house, take care of the garden, and the vegetable garden..."

"During her time in Manzhou, I could feel how happy she was. She proudly said that she had entered the wrong profession before, and she should be an excellent gardener by nature."

"My mother's smile is so beautiful. One day I was sitting under the eaves repairing the kettle, and saw her back to the sunset, picking a basket of cucumbers, green peppers and tomatoes from the vegetable garden. At that moment, I thought she was really smiling. What a nice view……"

Seeing Zhang Qiuyi's mood gradually shifting, Tangning said, "No matter what, Qiuyi, if our mother sees us sitting here quietly and enjoying the cake with such a long name in front of me, she should be happy for us. Bar?"

Tears were still hanging on Zhang Qiuyi's eyelashes, but she couldn't help laughing: "Andalusian Praline Cake, that's a place name far away, but... the name is indeed quite long."

Picking up the cake plate, "You're right, so let's taste it carefully and happily, thank you Tangning."

"You are welcome."

"By the way, why did you think of doing this?"

"It was Xiaozhi who insisted on making me do this. For this reason, he ransacked the professional tools of a bakery outside the Emerald District, and used scientific research equipment to extract the cake flour. I didn't know that making a cake was so difficult."

Zhang Qiuyi tasted this rare delicacy happily: "Tasting this taste for real is better than my... imagination. Can I borrow your equipment in the future?"

"That's even better, I'll just wait and eat for nothing."

Zhang Qiuyi raised the milk cup: "Come on, let's respect that there are still people who love life in this world."

Tangning raised her milk glass and touched her lightly, "To my respect, there are still some precious things in this world."

Afterwards, the two stopped talking, and only quietly shared the deliciousness of the moment. After eating the cake, Zhang Qiuyi said, "Next, you are going to lead the team to the jungle, right? You can't use Pluto warriors, so be more careful."

Tangning said, "There is a super cold tree in Han'an City. Uncle Hai said that if we don't remove the cold tree, the tree probably won't live long."

"Dealing with mutant beasts relies more on the hunter's methods, and with the support of Skynet, there is not much danger."

After speaking, he stood up: "Then don't bother you to rest, I'll go to the Weipei team to have a look..."

"Tangning." Zhang Qiuyi suddenly called Tangning to a stop.

"what?"

"Yeah." Zhang Qiuyi thought about how to word it: "The base said that you are the backbone, and I'm a name..."

"Those boys are talking nonsense, Qiu Yi, don't take it to heart."

"I just want to tell you... I don't care." Zhang Qiuyi hurriedly said: "And... what I told you today, you... don't tell others."

"Okay, I won't tell others." Tangning nodded, "Also, I've never seen your appearance today...you're very beautiful."

Zhang Qiuyi blushed, and the two stopped talking, just facing each other silently.

At this moment, there was some movement in Xia Xiaoyu's bedroom, as if she got up to wash her face, and asked inside, "Sister Qiuyi, is Xiao Lutou back?"

Both of them seemed to have been caught for doing something bad. Zhang Qiuyi looked nervous, and Tangning's voice dropped an octave as she whispered, "I'm going first."

Then it flew away.
