Chapter 492: 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.
