Novel Bin Chapter 52 Star Tube
In the kitchen, she released fruits like blue berries, mangoes, milk, apples and bananas from her storage. She did not have many of these because finding fresh food in the zombie apocalypse had been like finding water in the desert. It was impossible to find.
For this reason, she could not distribute these fruits as they were since she had little in stock. She also could not use most of them for seeds and instead she had to buy the seeds from the underworld and grow them herself.
Fey, the designated camera woman standing by and waiting for a cue to start recording. This would be Scarlet\'s first tube mate video.
"Are you ready?" Scarlet asked Fey.
She nodded and started recording.
"Hey guys, it\'s your best chef Scarlet here. I just went for a morning run and the one thing I crave after my run is a smoothie. A smoothie is a combination of fruits like this mango or banana. She named each fruit as she raised it to her audience. "I got my hands on one of these high quality shakes and I will be adding it to the mix just to see what it tastes like."
She peeled the ripe yellow mango and put the cubes in the blender.
"I am using a frozen banana for this recipe but fresh ones can also be used. Just always make sure that one of your fruits is frozen." She added pieces of banana, the milk and the thick high quality shake. She wanted to see if it could serve the same purpose as yoghurt because it was similar in texture to yoghurt. It mostly tasted like plain yoghurt with half a spoon of sugar., there was barely any sweetness to it. She could hardly stomach the thing.
She turned on the blender for thirty seconds and switched it off when the ingredients were creamy smooth. She poured the contents into a glass jar and placed a straw inside.
"There you go, a sweet mango and shake smoothie."
She made a blue berry smoothie as well and a straw berry smoothie. It was fun to look at the three glass jars each with a different vibrant color. Orange, blue and red.
"She waved and said, "See you next time on Scarlet\'s sweet treats."
She had decided to post mostly desert and sweet recipes on star tube channel. The food recipes would stay in the live broadcasts. Star tube had already offered her a contract where she kept seventy percent of the earnings from her videos.
Fey saved the recording and went to the living room where she could edit and then post it.
Scarlet made more smoothies for other members of the family. Last night her mother had also chopped up some carrots that went unused when she was cooking. They had been preserved carefully and they still looked and tasted fresh so used them to bake a carrot cake quickly.
She left the cake in the oven and had her bath, when she returned, it was ready for slicing.
Outside, porridge was distributed to the citizens before they went off to work and inside the house members of the Su family and their guests ate carrot cake and drank smoothies.
Severus took three glasses, one for each flavor. He also ate two slices of cake, drank two cups of milk and ate the left over steak from the previous day before declaring that he was satisfied.
Folsom and Ian secretly joined the I hate Severus club online. It already had one hundred people who were dissatisfied about the fact that he got to eat food while they did not,
It was time to work so, she packed some snacks in a bag for Justin to share with his friends and sent him off with Adler.
"So, are we touring the farm lands now?" Oak asked eagerly.
"Yes." Scarlet answered. "We have to check on the progress of the crops and we also have to see how the digging of the rice paddies is going."
"Rice is that white grain which we ate last night." Bell told Oak.
"I know that." the other mumbled.
"We also brought all of the seeds that we have in our bureau. Most of them were saved from the food bank which existed thousands of years ago. In order to stop them from rotting they are kept in special pods that keep them in a state of stasis. We hope to preserve them for as long as we can because they are the last hope for the empire growing edible plants ever again." Bell told Scarlet.
"The Blue forest has some edible plants, they are not many of course. They cannot even feed the small population here. They have to be grown on a wide scale carefully otherwise if they die out, I don\'t know if we can find them again. Most of what I am doing is experimental because we don\'t know what effects the soil itself will have on the plants. My worry is that there are factors that affect growth of plants like rain, the sun, the acidity of the soil and pests. You are experts and I am grateful for your presence." she answered him.
They were moving in a group of at least ten. When they passed by, the people looked at the guests in awe. They were healthy good looking men from the capital. The clothes and armor on their bodies were clean and sparkly. Most of it looked expensive.
Rumor had it that they had come with the great general Esong to aid the governor in growing food. Many people were excited because this was a sign that the royal family saw potential in what they were doing.
On one of the field which was being opened, an elderly man wiped the sweat on his forehead. He had a wide gin on his face while he looked at the guests that were passing by.
"Hey Blad," someone called, "Your son Rodney is walking with important people from the capital now. You must be feeling proud."
Indeed, Blad was proud. The little cultivation of the land he had done had exhausted him, his back was also aching but he felt extremely joyful. They were doing important work, work that would affect the entire empire. Looking at his son that was associating with men of class and power, he laughed to himself.
He said to the man who had mentioned that he should be feeling proud, "What\'s there to feel proud about? It\'s only natural that he works hard for the future of our Blue star. All of us should work hard because this is the legacy we will leave to our children."
The man rolled his eyes. \'You think I haven\'t seen you proudly grinning, keep on pretending\' he thought.
