Chapter 463: The Secret to Making Dumplings Is the Orchid Finger Technique

"Stolen?"

Bai Zhengxuan was shocked.

With the mutated panda and Zhu Yan teaming up, who could beat them?

Old Wang never absorbs crystal cores, yet he’s still this formidable?

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Uncle Wang scratched his head. "I saw a lot of boxes on that big truck, missing a few wouldn’t matter, right!"

"So you stole them?" Bai Zhengxuan was still a bit incredulous.

"It’s actually not really stealing. I accidentally rear-ended that truck, and a few boxes just fell off. When I saw they were food and the peaches were so big and red, I just put them in my car!"

Uncle Wang grinned.

An unexpected bounty.

"But that’s still not right!" Bai Zhengxuan said.

What if those stingy beasts killed him!

Those two beasts look harmless but combined, they could wipe out most mutant animals.

"We threw a lot of crystal cores into the truck, so it’s not too much." Uncle Wang said with a regretful face, "Had I known, I would have taken more boxes. Those bananas and peaches were really delicious, but the bamboo shoots weren’t that great."

"What kind of sentence would that get?" Bai Zhengxuan turned his head to ask Bai Anhai, who was making dumplings on the bus.

"If the owner didn’t agree, it’s stealing, under three years!" Bai Anhai said.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine! Next time, I’ll steal again! No one will arrest me anyway!" Uncle Wang said calmly. "Besides, I paid with crystal cores."

A lawless rogue.

"Still, that day was pretty thrilling. Just as we were loading a few boxes of fruit, the truck driver spotted us, chirping angrily. Then Old Liu and I didn’t even look at him and bolted right away." Uncle Wang smacked his lips and continued, "The main point was, those peaches were so big and red, I just didn’t want to give them back!"

"...Robbery, more than three years in prison," Bai Anhai corrected his previous statement.

Being caught in the act was robbery, and Bai Anhai was meticulous about these details.

"How did you get away?"

Bai Zhengxuan could already imagine the anger of Zhu Yan and the mutated panda.

Zhu Yan, who could kill the Wolf King with a banana peel, and the mutated panda, who could crush a giant mutated python with its bare hands.

Snatching their favorite food from them was legendary!

Uncle Wang was definitely the first!

"No truck is faster than my driving! I dashed down two or three streets and lost them, never even saw them." Uncle Wang said.

Bai Zhengxuan: ...

Impressive!

"I suggest, next time you see that truck, just run, don’t ask why!" Bai Zhengxuan placed his hand on Uncle Wang’s shoulder, his voice serious.

"Why?" Uncle Wang was puzzled, "I can run fast anyway!"

"Do you remember the panda that strangled the giant mutated python at the Fire Phoenix Safety Base?" Bai Zhengxuan countered.

"I remember, that chubby one was pretty agile!" Uncle Wang nodded.

Back then, even the walls of the Fire Phoenix Safety Base were smashed down.

"At that time, it was sitting in the passenger seat, and at the driver seat was a monkey as divine as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, capable of killing the Mutated Wolf King with a banana peel." Bai Zhengxuan said.

"How do you know?" Uncle Wang was skeptical.

A monkey driving? Really?

He didn’t believe a monkey could drive better than him!

"We saw them before, just passing by." Bai Zhengxuan said vaguely.

Couldn’t exactly say all that fruit came from his own granddaughter to them!

That would expose the space.

"...So, it seems stealing their fruit is pretty risky." Uncle Wang bowed his head, pondering for a moment, then quickly said, "No matter, next time I’ll be quicker!"

The peaches and bananas were so delicious, better than any fruit he had ever eaten, it would be unfair to his stomach not to steal.

Oh, no, to buy, he did pay with crystal cores.

Uncle Wang, daring due to skill, felt no danger in his actions.

...Anyway, since the apocalypse, he had been carefree, never beaten to death, nor eaten by zombies.

Lucky, he could do as he pleased!

"Old Liu, aren’t you worried about Old Wang’s mindset?" Bai Zhengxuan asked Uncle Liu.

"Worried about what? You get used to it!" Uncle Liu chuckled heartily.

Joking, during his and Uncle Wang’s wandering days, this was nothing!

Along the way, if others kept a low profile, things were usually peaceful. But for them, the safest time was when chased by a hoard of zombies, at least there were no other weird mutant animals!

Uncle Wang proved with his actions, what truly meant having a tough life!

Bai Zhengxuan: ...

To be honest, Bai Zhengxuan was quite envious of Uncles Wang and Liu, with their tenacity!

In the time after, the Bai Family advised Uncle Wang to cherish his life and not steal the two beasts’ fruit. Meanwhile, Uncle Wang was seriously pondering how to stealthily snag a couple more boxes next time.

Soon it was lunchtime, featuring pork and green onion dumplings, the three uncles’ favorite, never getting tired of them.

All the ingredients came from the space, even the pork was from the second brother raised there.

The pigs in the space lived better than any pig in the world, dining daily on garden-fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking Spiritual Spring Water.

The quality of the meat was superb.

The resulting dumpling filling was exceptionally delicious, far superior to store-bought frozen ones.

Uncle Wang ate dumpling after dumpling, smiling as he watched Bai Yifan, "Xiao Fan, can you teach your dumpling-making skills to your Uncle Liu?"

Before the apocalypse, Uncle Liu sold buns, known for their thin skin and large filling, with a bite full of juicy goodness.

Uncle Wang initially thought Uncle Liu’s buns were the best, but now, it seemed Xiao Fanfan surpassed them.

Uncle Liu stayed silent, casting sideways glances at Bai Yifan, eager to learn but hesitant to ask.

Honestly, he had watched how the Bai Family made dumplings, he knew the entire process, and it didn’t differ from how any normal person would do it.

The strange part was, no one else could make them taste that good!

...Even after Uncle Liu added special ingredients to let Uncle Wang eat, Uncle Wang still said nothing was better than the Bai Family’s dumplings!

Later, Uncle Liu was so annoyed he planned a showdown with Uncle Wang using a green plant, Uncle Wang finally begrudgingly said, they’re both quite delicious.

"It’s simple! Just wrap them up like this and cook them!"

Bai Yifan elegantly demonstrated how he wrapped dumplings with a flourish.

The Bai Family’s dumpling wrapping style was a family tradition, even Leng Yebai couldn’t escape this fate.

Uncle Liu squinted, could this be some kind of advanced physical principle?

He wondered silently, he would try it next time.

Rumble –

The sound of thunder came from above.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

Just moments ago, the sun was blazing, but within the time it took to eat, the clouds had covered the sun.

The clouds appeared so suddenly, almost instantly shifting the weather from bright sunshine to impending rain.

The air felt moist, as if a heavy downpour could break out at any moment.

"Whoa! Finally, it’s not so hot today!"

Uncle Wang quickly ate his dumplings, trying to fit in a couple more bowls before taking shelter from the rain.

"This weather is so strange, the clouds seem to spread over the sky in an instant, like magic." Bai Yifan muttered.

Bai Xiqin also found it a bit odd but didn’t think much of it, in the apocalypse, unusual weather was insignificant.

Leng Yebai, however, paused, looking up at the thick clouds, his eyes scanning them as if he discovered something, or perhaps nothing at all.

"What’s up?" Bai Xiqin nudged Leng Yebai with her elbow.

"Look there!"

Leng Yebai suddenly pointed at the heavy clouds, his face showing a look of shock,
