The boatman boarded the boat and left. He disappeared into the darkness like a ghost ship without a lamp.
“First, boil some water. I feel thirsty,” Nan Chen said.
“Sure.”
Ning Ran found a pot, washed it, and brought water from the tank to boil.
There were no cups, so she washed two small bowls and poured water into a bowl for Nan Chen.
Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, Nan Chen's face was relaxed, and his eyes were calm as usual.
“Does your leg still hurt? What should we do now?” Ning Ran asked softly.
“We should be happy we got rescued. I'm feeling hungry, so you should cook. Plain water is barely enough,” Nan Chen said.
Ning Ran was impressed by Nan Chen's mental strength as he was not anxious at all.
Optimism and pessimism were contagious. Seeing how calmly Nan Chen was behaving soothed Ning Ran's anxiety.
Without further ado, she started to cook.
Ning Ran cooked regularly. Still, she had only cooked rice with an electric rice cooker and had never cooked with fire.
That was why the rice she made turned out slightly undercooked. But it was still edible.
There were only potatoes and cabbages, and there was no refrigerator. These two kinds of vegetables were easy to store and wouldn't spoil quickly.
Ning Ran cut the potatoes into pieces and deep-fried them. Then, she chopped up a cabbage and stir-fried it.
After that, she dumped in some undercooked rice and braised them together until the vegetable and rice were fully cooked.
There were no condiments around, only salt.
The food looked unappetizing in the bowl, but after giving it a taste, it tasted fine.
The potatoes and cabbages were all grown at home by the boatman. Hence, the quality of the ingredients was good and tasted well.
Nan Chen's hunger made him finish two bowls of rice in one sitting.
Ning Ran was relieved seeing how Nan Chen was eating well.
