Chapter 176 Doraemon appears again

The authorities also blame themselves for this sudden disaster.

But they have tried their best.

Their machines did not detect this cold wave at all.

It was like it suddenly popped out from between the rocks.

Very fantasy.

But if the end of the world can happen, is there anything more unreal than the end of the world?

They may blame themselves, but they still have heavy responsibilities on their shoulders and must cheer up as soon as possible.

The survivors who were lucky enough to escape the disaster in the heating point also whispered about the cold wave.

Everyone has long been numb to death.

What everyone is more interested in is learning from experience and avoiding getting into danger.

pity?

They no longer have this thing.

The dead are very pitiful, but how good are we?

Maybe next time, it will be me who dies.

The cold wave brought a devastating blow to City S, but it also brought hope.

It turned out that honey vegetables were scarce, and the few that I dug up after a day's work were only enough to fill me up to 30% or 40% full.

But after the cold wave passed, everyone was surprised to find that the amount of honey vegetables had increased!

Originally, only four or five could be found on a piece of snow, but now more than ten can be found, more than double the number.

The oppressive atmosphere of the heating spot was swept away.

Everyone rushed out of the heating point.

Although everyone knew how dangerous it was outside, no one hesitated in order to survive.

Is that honeydew outside?

No, that's their fate!

While all the survivors were busy digging honey vegetables, Shi Jiaojiao and the other three were not idle either.

Of course, they also noticed the increase in the number of honey vegetables, but after looking at their own hands and feet, they decided to stay upstairs and not go out to join in the fun.

The honey vegetables they collected some time ago were quite a lot.

Shi Jiaojiao simply led everyone to dry and preserve the honey vegetables.

She herself had no shortage of food, and Wang Jia and Tang Wei also had a lot of food stored, and they also grew vegetables at home.

But now the temperature was too low. Even though the two of them placed the vegetable bowls next to the stove and were about to offer the dishes as if they were ancestors, they were still wilted.

But even so, people have not yet reached the point where they have to fill their stomachs with honeydew.

If you dry and store them now, in case there is extreme weather in the future and the vegetables cannot be grown, the dried honeydew can be used for a while.

If you want to dry honey vegetables, the most important thing is the sun.

But since the extreme cold began, the sun seems to have no other function except to provide illumination.

"I'm afraid it won't work with the temperature outside?"

Wang Jia raised a question.

Drying honeydew vegetables was a good idea. The longer she lived in the apocalypse, the more she panicked about storing food.

No matter how much stuff you store, you're afraid it won't be enough.

Tang Wei said, "We have nothing to do anyway, so let's put it on the stove and slowly dry it."

This idea is indeed feasible, but the heat is difficult to control. If the fire is a little bigger, the honey vegetable will be reduced to ashes.

Before the end of the world, wasting food was shameful, let alone now.

Shi Jiaojiao smiled and said, "No need for that. I have a dryer at home."

Before the end of the world began, she prepared a lot of small appliances.

Of course, we also prepared a few dryers.

Wang Jia smiled and said, "Then Tang Wei and I will pay for the processing fee."

She was not surprised at all that Shi Jiaojiao could take out the dryer.

Doraemon.

normal.

Shi Jiaojiao nodded and did not refuse.

She pretended to go into the house, took out the machine, and connected the battery.

Mu Ci and Wang Jiatang were responsible for blanching the honey vegetables.

Although there were only four of them, they went to quite far places each time and surprisingly gained a lot.

The dryer was busy round after round, and the whole room was filled with the faint fragrance of drying vegetables.

The honeydew shrinks severely after drying.

But there is an advantage.

It is more convenient to carry when running.

And sprinkle a little bit of salt on it, so when it is inconvenient to cook, you can take it out and eat it as a dry vegetable.

While several people were busy, they each tasted a few.

Wang Jia was amazed: "I didn't expect honey vegetables to taste so good after drying. It's like eating sea salt-flavored potato chips, and a little sweet."

Shi Jiaojiao was also a little surprised.

In her previous life, whenever she dug up honey vegetables, she would immediately put them into her space.

She was single and did not dare, nor did she have the means, to dry the honey vegetables to eat.

I didn’t expect it to taste so good.

Then after her injury heals, she will have to collect more.

It's also good as a snack after drying.

After all the honey vegetables were dried, Wang Jia and Tang Wei took out two pieces of sugar as processing fees.

Shi Jiaojiao smiled and took it.

After the two left, she and Mu Ci changed into thick clothes, wrapped themselves tightly, and walked towards the rooftop.

The frostbite of the two has now healed a lot. If they keep warm, going out for a short while will not have any impact on their injuries.

The two of them came to the rooftop, Shi Jiaojiao put the frozen ice cubes into the space, and took out a few boxes of water.

Since the extreme cold came, I have never stopped making ice cubes, except for the first two days when the frostbite was so severe that I couldn't go out.

There were already a lot of ice cubes of various sizes stored in Shi Jiaojiao's space.

These large-sized ice cubes are prepared to deal with the situation when extreme heat occurs again and the air conditioner cannot be used.

At that time, putting some ice cubes at home can lower the temperature a lot.

Of course, a lot of ice cubes were also prepared for consumption.

Some are frozen with pure drinking water, others with various beverages, glucose, or light salt water.

Mu Ci froze a lot of fruits for Shi Jiaojiao.

The most common ones are frozen pears and frozen persimmons.

In addition to these two, fruits such as grapes, lychees, and durian are also delicious when frozen.

The two of them finished quickly and left immediately.

Although the frostbite has improved a lot, we can't be careless.

When going downstairs, Mu Ci took Shi Jiaojiao's hand.

Even though she wore several layers of gloves, Shi Jiaojiao's heart couldn't help but tremble.

All I could hear was the sound of drumsticks.

Boom boom boom——

She felt a heat rising to her head immediately.

Although Mu Ci would pull her before, he always pulled her arm.

That was completely different from the feeling of holding hands now.

I don’t know if her mentality has changed.

It was as if a thread was pulled out from the heart, flowed along the arm to the palm of the hand, intersected with Mu Ci's thread, and finally tied into a knot.

***

As the amount of honey vegetables increased, the lives of the survivors gradually improved.

Now, they can eat until they are 50% full, up from 30% to 40% full.

And there is a lot more food stored.

Only with food can we have the confidence to survive.

Life has gotten better and the survivors no longer have those bitter and resentful looks on their faces.

I even have the mood to come up with a lot of ways to eat honeydew.

The simplest way is to eat it directly, swallowing the leaves and juice together. This is the least wasteful way to eat it.

You can also cook the multi-grain cakes into a paste, then add chopped honeydew and a little bit of seasoning.

Some people even make barbecued honey vegetables.

These are the families whose conditions are slightly better.

There is oil and various seasonings.

After roasting for a few seconds, the aroma bursts out instantly.

Of course, there are those with poor conditions and those with good conditions.

They are not so short of food.

For them, honeydew is more like a snack to change their taste.

They just taste the juice inside, chew it twice, and spit out the residue, just like eating sugarcane.

Some people also use honeydew as a seasoning, taking only the tenderest and juiciest part.

The authorities have no opinion on these people.

After all, the gap between the rich and the poor has been impossible to eliminate since ancient times.

What they think about is how to save more lives rather than pursuing absolute equality.

Most importantly, their researchers have successfully grown honey vegetables!
