Qin Xue cleaned the fish, made some cuts in it, and marinated it with a little starch, salt, and soy sauce before setting it aside.
She then washed the vegetables, peppers, and the onion, ginger, and garlic, and prepared a bowl of thickening sauce.
After chopping the onion, ginger, and garlic, Qin Xue washed the wok to stir-fry the vegetables.
She glanced at the dwindling supply of spices and wondered if she should take the seeds from the spices and plant them in her space.
Thinking leads to action, which is Qin Xue’s guiding principle!
She picked out the seeds from the Sichuan pepper, tsao-ko, and star anise, and set them aside to plant later. She also took some fennel seeds.
Now, Qin Xue was not sure what else she needed.
As long as the seeds can be planted, she would think about taking them into her space to plant.
Qin Xue now treated her space as a versatile one.
Once the oil was hot, she placed the fish in the wok to fry both sides golden, then transferred it to a plate.
She then stir-fried the prepared spices, discarded the residue, and added onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper to the wok to bring out the flavor.
She added a small bowl of water to the wok and brought it to a boil, then added the seasoning.
Qin Xue placed the fried fish in the sauce, covered the wok, and simmered it for about three minutes on each side.
Finally. she poured in the slurry and cooked it on high heat for a minute. The fragrant red-braised fish was ready.
Qin Xue placed the two fishes onto two plates, one for her and one for Xue Ling.
She washed the wok and heated some oil to stir-fry the greens!
Stir-frying greens is the fastest. She heated the oil in the wok and added the garlic to bring out the aroma.
She added the greens and tossed them for a bit. Once they changed color, she seasoned them with salt and removed them from the wok.
The resulting dish was vibrant green, crisp, and delicious stir-fried greens!
Qin Xue took the fish into the space, and also brought in the seeds of the spices.
“Xue Ling, this is your red-braised fish. Enjoy!
And these are the spice seeds. I’ll plant them in the field after we eat!”
Qin Xue put the fish and seeds on the table for Xue Ling.
After stepping out of the space, she grabbed a bowl and was about to get some rice when she suddenly felt anxious, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered!
“Tsk!” Qin Xue squatted down to pick up the fragments and throw them in the trash.
But as she was picking up the second piece, she cut her finger. Seeing her bleeding finger, Qin Xue felt extremely flustered!
Ever since the afternoon, she had been feeling uneasy.
Had something happened to Chu Molin? Otherwise, she couldn’t think of any reason for her anxiety.
Qin Xue rinsed her bleeding finger under the faucet!
Then she entered the space, took a bit more wine to disinfect the wound, and prevented inflammation.
“Master, how did you hurt yourself?” Xue Ling looked at the wound on Qin Xue’s finger!
“Xue Ling, I don’t know what’s going on. Since this afternoon, I’ve been feeling very anxious.
I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Xue Ling, do you think something has happened to Chu Molin?” Qin Xue was truly worried.
But she didn’t have any ideas. Should she go and ask Xie Jun?
However, if something had happened to Chu Molin, they would definitely inform her.
“Master, it probably won’t, right? Are you overthinking?” Xue Lings spiritual power was too low, and it couldn’t sense anything!
“I don’t know if I’m overthinking, but I’m very uneasy.” Qin Xue had no appetite for food!
“Master, you must be overthinking. He will definitely be fine.” Xue Ling wondered when he should ask Qin Xue for some of Chu Molin’s blood.
If he got some blood, then next time it could sense if Chu Molin was in danger?
That way, Qin Xue wouldn’t have to worry here.
“Yes, you’re right. He must be fine.
He told me he’s only leading a special training team and not going on a mission, so how could there be danger?”
Qin Xue said this, not knowing if she was comforting herself?
At any rate, she would rather think that it was her own overthinking! She didn’t want to believe that Chu Molin was in trouble.
“Yes, everything will be fine, so don’t overthink it!
Quickly find something to wrap up your hand, and then go eat!”
Xue Ling thought that Qin Xue had just brought the fish in for it, and now she had come back in without eating.
Qin Xue nodded. Even if she had no appetite, she had to eat.. She had to think of the baby in her stomach who would be hungry, too!
