Lu Yuan said goodbye to Li Bin and returned to Qiao Ya's house.
Qiao Ya was still sleeping at this moment, and Lu Yuan had nothing to do, so he decided to make himself breakfast.
He went to the kitchen, took out two Angus steaks, and prepared to fry a black pepper steak.
Lu Yuan first beat the steak with the back of a knife.
The purpose of doing this is to loosen the meat fibers, which can make the steak taste softer and tenderer, and more flavorful when marinated.
After beating for nearly three minutes, Lu Yuan then marinated the steak with salt, onion juice, sugar, red wine and black pepper.
While marinating, he took out two large bottles of milk from the storage space, put them in the milk pot to heat them, and then poured them into two cups, and fried a few eggs by the way.
At this time, the steak was almost marinated.
Lu Yuan put a piece of butter in the pot, and after the butter melted, he put the steak in and fried it over high heat.
The purpose of using high heat is to quickly brown the surface of the steak and lock in the moisture inside.
When it was almost done, he poured the remaining sauce from marinating the meat on the steak, then covered the pot with a lid and simmered it over low heat.
After simmering for a few minutes, Lu Yuan estimated that it was almost done, so he opened the lid, took out the steak and placed it on a plate, and poured the sauce on it.
The tempting aroma came to his nose, and Lu Yuan cut a small piece with a knife and tasted it.
The taste was unexpectedly good, and the center of the steak was pink and red, rich in juice, and the meat was tender.
Lu Yuan used a very good quality steak, and even a simple cooking method could make it appetizing.
Lu Yuan placed the fried eggs and steak together, and casually cut some tomatoes and pickles to plate, and a delicious breakfast was ready.
Looking at his work, Lu Yuan gave himself a full score for this breakfast he made by himself.
This steak is delicious and tasty, and is no less delicious than the steaks in some professional western restaurants.
He was not good at cooking before, but in the month before the end of the world, in order to prevent himself from eating too badly in the future, he would try to cook by himself when he was free.
He also paid for a professional chef to teach him remotely online.
This greatly improved his cooking skills in just one month.
At this time, Qiao Ya also woke up. When she came out of the room, she saw Lu Yuan busy in the kitchen.
"It smells so good. What delicious food are you making?"
Lu Yuan came out of the kitchen with two steaks.
"Fried steak, I made one for you too."
Qiao Ya looked at the steaming and fragrant steak, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"Wow, it looks good."
She went up and hugged Lu Yuan and kissed him on the face.
"Thank you."
Lu Yuan could clearly feel that Qiao Ya's eyes seemed to be a little different when he looked at him today.
When she looked at him, her eyes were full of love, like little stars.
Lu Yuan was used to wandering alone in the apocalypse, but now there was suddenly a woman beside him, looking at him with such a mushy look, Lu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.
He looked at Qiao Ya with disdain.
"Have you brushed your teeth? Come and kiss me."
"Humph, you actually dislike me, I will kiss you."
Qiao Ya took advantage of Lu Yuan's inattention and hugged him again, pecked him hard on the face twice.
She was like a koala, holding Lu Yuan and refusing to let go.
Lu Yuan showed a very helpless expression.
Qiao Ya's physical fitness has also become much stronger since she became a superpower.
Although it was just a fight, when she hugged Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan could clearly feel that her strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
With this level of strength, if she trained her fighting skills, it should not be a problem for her to easily knock down several adult men.
This is what superpowers are like. Not only do they have special abilities, but their physical fitness is also completely superior to that of ordinary people.
"Stop messing around, hurry up and eat breakfast, I have something to do later."
"Hehe, got it."
Qiao Ya then let go and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Lu Yuan sat down at the dining table and began to enjoy his breakfast.
Although it was just a simple meal, it still made Lu Yuan feel emotional.
In his previous life, he was often hungry and dizzy, and he would be hungry for several days, and only occasionally could he find something to eat.
How could he enjoy such a rich breakfast as soon as he woke up like now.
"This is life."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
After the two had breakfast, Qiao Ya took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and studied on the map software. He was preparing to find the next base.
After Qiao Ya washed the dishes, she came to sit next to Lu Yuan.
"By the way, you said you have something to do later, what is it?"
Lu Yuan did not intend to hide it from her.
"I'm going to go out and collect some mutant crystals."
Qiao Ya's eyes suddenly showed a trace of worry.
"Then I'll go with you. There are so many zombies outside. I'm a little worried about you going alone."
Last night, after the two awakened their superpowers, they experimented with their abilities in the room.
This was also the first time Lu Yuan became an awakener, and he had no experience.
But fortunately, after the awakening of this superpower, it was like his instinct, almost like an arm.
Now Qiao Ya can control lightning skillfully. With the intensity of the lightning she released, it is no problem to kill an adult or a zombie in an instant.
But Lu Yuan still decisively rejected her.
"No, I have something else for you to do."
Lu Yuan took out 30 mutant crystals from the storage space and placed them on the table.
With his and Qiao Ya's current strength, they can absorb about 30 mutant crystals a day at most.
More mutant crystals will bring extra burden to the body, and the body needs some time to digest this energy.
However, for ordinary psychics who have just awakened, whether they can get 30 mutant crystals a day is a problem.
The probability of zombies having crystals in their heads is about one-third.
Lu Yuan killed nearly a hundred zombies in the supermarket and only got 35 mutant crystals.
And the newly awakened psychics not only have less energy in their bodies, but also recover slowly.
Generally, they release their superpowers 10 to 20 times, and their energy will be exhausted, and it will take a long time to recover.
And they don't say that every time they release their superpowers, they can kill a zombie 100%.
So a psychic who can collect ten mutant crystals a day is already considered a very strong psychic.
However, Lu Yuan's package contains 3.6 million mutant crystals, and he doesn't worry about not having enough mutant crystals.
These mutant crystals can help him and Qiao Ya improve their strength quickly in the early stage, and widen the gap with other superpowers.
Lu Yuan said to Qiao Ya:
"You stay at home today, absorb these mutant crystals, and then practice your lightning superpower."
