Natural disasters + zombies (extreme heat, insect plagues, extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy rain, and other disasters followed one after another). Xie Purou had just completed her previous mission ...
Xie Purou noticed it and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
“When I came here, I went to the slums to see where the high-flyers used to live, and I saw many ordinary people who were sick.”
There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice as she recalled the street littered with people fainting on the road, while those who hadn't fainted lay half-dead, hanging on to their last breath, dying in the cool corners.
Xie Purou looked up to see the sun. It was already around nine o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still bright.
The sun set slower and slower, a beautiful bright glow dyed the sky red, and a thin line of mist reflected the desolate silence underground.
Those ordinary people should have suffered from heat stroke. Long-term exposure to high temperature environment will cause the body's regulatory function to be unbalanced.
Even on an ordinary summer day before the end of the world, people working outdoors would contract this disease, and the mortality rate was said to be as high as 50%.
In fact, the water she provided has made life much better for most people in the Flame Base. At the price of 1 point per bottle of water, everyone can afford it.
Compared to other bases that are short of water and hot, the situation at the Flame Base is many times better.
The price of medicine is also very low, you can buy a box of medicine with just one crystal core.
Not knowing how to comfort Yue Xiwen, Xie Purou could only put her hand on her shoulder and said, "You've tried your best."
I believe the base has taken corresponding measures.
They and she bought a large number of insulated tents, which must be provided for people who have no houses to live in. Setting up tents takes time, so they may not have considered so many things.
"The base has already given points to provide everyone with water, but there are still many people who have fallen down." Yue Xiwen couldn't bear to see those scenes, so she just took a look and left. After she came back, she kept thinking about it in her mind from time to time.
Xie Pu Rou really couldn't bear to see the girl trying to be strong but then looking shaky. She now completely understood why the hero didn't like to hear the heroine complain about her grievances and just wanted to hold her in his arms.
If Yue Xiwen wasn't such a domineering lady and it wasn't inappropriate to hold her in her arms, she really wanted to hold her on her shoulder to comfort her.
"You tried your best to give the best you could, and you deserve it."
Xie Pu Rou changed the subject to make her feel more relaxed.
"I'm going to the base early to set up a stall tomorrow. Can you come with me? We'll have cold noodles for sale tomorrow." This was the new food she got from the crazy card drawing today.
Speaking of food, Yue Xiwen's mood improved a little.
"What cold noodles?"
"Have you seen Crayon Shin-chan? It's Chinese cold noodles."
Xie Purou wanted to describe it to her, but she felt that it would be more intuitive to eat this kind of thing directly.
"Just wait, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning!"
Her proud little expression and the gestures she wanted to make with her hands but couldn't made made Yue Xiwen laugh.
"Then someone should not stay in bed. He doesn't get up until twelve o'clock every day. It's already one o'clock when you arrive at the base."
What worker loves going to work?
Yue Xiwen went back with the thermostatic clothes.
She promised him and got up early the next day.
Get up and prepare the things needed to set up a stall to sell cold noodles.
Cut the cucumber into shreds, tear the cooked crab sticks into shreds by hand, blanch the fungus and bean sprouts separately and set aside.
The bright yellow egg liquid is spread in the pan, formed into a thin omelet, and then taken out and cut into egg shreds after solidification.
This is the side dish.
The noodles can be eaten right after they are cooked. After being cooked, they are rinsed with ice water for a more chewy texture.
For the sake of beautiful color matching, and also to allow people who eat cold noodles to taste the long-lost tomatoes.
She cut a few slices of tomatoes and prepared to put them on the plate.
Surprisingly, the system also provides an ice bowl for this dish.
It is to use a large ice-shaped bowl to hold food, and the food can always keep a cool taste due to the coolness of the ice.
Place the noodles soaked in ice water in an ice bowl, add the side dishes and spread them out in order to form a small hill.
Finally, add a hard-boiled egg on top and pour in the secret sauce prepared in advance.
Sprinkle a few golden fried peanuts to increase the appearance and taste, and a bowl of cold noodles is ready.
The inconvenience is that you need a bowl to cover the ice bowl, otherwise the melted ice bowl will drip onto your hands.
As a beauty-obsessed person, Xie Purou always has very high requirements for the appearance of the food she makes.
With the blessing of the culinary gold finger, the food will be delicious and fragrant.
Bright red tomatoes, golden egg liquid, emerald green cucumber shreds, wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, crab sticks, and boiled eggs.
A small bowl of cold noodles contains so much of Xie Purou's careful thoughts on how to resist the extreme heat.
After eating the cold noodles, you can put them close to the ice bowl to cool down. If you don’t mind the melted ice, you can drink it as water.
The price was only 15 points per bowl, and she knew that Sha Tong must have contributed greatly to it.
After a quick pack up, I took all the robots and staff with me except Bubu. From now on, they will live in the dining car! The B&B can already produce and sell its own food, so they can just stay with the dining car.
She lingered for a while after finishing her meal, and it was just past seven when she arrived at the Flame Base.
The guard here saw her food cart and let it through without even checking it.
When I arrived at the familiar place, Yue Xiwen was already waiting there.
"You came early today."
Yue Xiwen returned to his usual carefree self, standing there with his arms folded across his chest, smiling brightly.
"I dare not let Miss Xiwen wait anxiously."
He opened the area where the dining table was placed and thrust a folding table into her hands.
"I'm going to open a stall, so don't just sit there, come and help."
The two of them knew each other well enough that they joked around while working, getting along like good friends.
Yue Xiwen didn't tell the people at the base that she would be setting up a stall today. Only after she had set up the tables and chairs did only a few people line up.
The person who saw the food truck asked her friends to go back and inform everyone. Word spread quickly from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. She had no time to say a few words to Yue Xiwen before she had to go off to get busy.
"You go and do your work, I want to try your loving cold noodles." Yue Xiwen didn't even raise her head, picked up a piece of cold noodles with chopsticks, and the noodles slid into her mouth with a slurp.
The temperature of the ice bowl made the noodles very chewy and blended with the cool sauce. The soup was very clear. She lowered her head and took a sip.
The icy cold soup tastes even better with the noodles in your mouth. The refreshing taste blooms on your taste buds. Even if you don’t wear heat-insulating clothes, you will feel refreshed after eating a bite of cold noodles.
When she was eating just now, she didn't mix the ingredients covering the noodles. Now she stirred them first, then picked up a chopstick, made sure that the chopstick picked up all the side dishes in the noodles, and put it into her mouth again.
Every side dish has its reason for existence. When you take a bite, you will feel the rich flavor in your mouth.
"It's so delicious! The food is so delicious!" She shouted, scaring the people in the queue next to her.
She had no time to care about what others thought. After shouting, she continued to eat, not letting her mouth idle for a moment.
The sweetness of the noodles themselves is irresistible. The polite saying of adults, "A single encounter is unforgettable for a lifetime," finally had a rudimentary taste that could be described in her mind.
