◎Happy Day 16: Preparing for Camping◎

Jiang Muyun calculated the time. Today was already September 3rd. She had ordered the doors and windows on August 23rd, so it had been more than ten days.

At that time, the door and window factory said that it would take about ten days. Now that the time was almost up, Jiang Muyun called to inquire about the situation.

The person in charge answered the phone quickly. As soon as Jiang Muyun mentioned the window, the other party said, "We were just about to contact you. When it's convenient for you, we'll have someone come to install it for you."

Jiang Muyun thought about it and set the time for installing the windows at ten o'clock in the morning.

There are few people in the community at this time, so there is no need to change the windows in front of a crowd of people, and it can also reduce the possibility of accidental injuries from falling objects.

This is the only downside to living in a community with so many familiar people. If Jiang Muyun had changed her windows when many elderly people were walking around the community, she would have to explain the reason for changing the windows more than ten times.

After the windows were installed, Jiang Muyun sent the installer downstairs. After returning, he fell on the sofa and felt truly relieved.

From the time she was reborn until now, she has been holding on tightly.

In order to survive this apocalypse, she desperately stored supplies and tried every possible way to disguise herself so as not to be discovered. She was thinking almost every minute about what else she needed and whether she had missed anything.

Even though she had nothing in her previous life, she still stubbornly crawled back to South City from West City.

Even though her return posture was a little ugly, she at least survived the apocalypse for ten years and defeated more than 90% of humans. She can be called a winner in life.

As a result, after living a new life, she seemed to have become more timid.

Jiang Muyun lay on the sofa and reflected for a while.

Is it because the days of eating and drinking to their heart's content after rebirth are too wonderful?

It is indeed more difficult to give up the peaceful and prosperous times that have been lost and regained.

Xiaobai didn't feel his master's deep emotions. He jumped onto the sofa, nudged Jiang Muyun's arm with his head, and skillfully found a comfortable angle in her arms to lie down.

After this period of recuperation, Xiaobai has successfully turned into a sleek little black dog. He has grown a lot taller and even learned to get on the sofa by himself.

Jiang Muyun's thoughts were disrupted. He hugged Xiaobai and stroked his fur, then opened his phone to check the weather forecast.

The weather forecast shows that the temperature in late September will indeed drop a lot, but unfortunately it is only a normal drop in temperature and is consistent with Jiang Muyun's memory.

In the previous life, everything was calm until the beginning of October, when the disaster suddenly broke out, catching everyone off guard.

Jiang Muyun turned off her phone, checked the download progress of the TV series and movies, and searched through her 108 treasures as usual.

After searching in vain, she opened a novel software and randomly flipped through a few doomsday novels. She found that the protagonists' spaces were either suitable for farming and breeding, or had spiritual springs.

The worst case scenario is that it must be vast and boundless, and able to be directly handed over to the country for resource allocation.

Jiang Muyun never expected that he would be stabbed just for reading a novel.

Jiang Muyun closed the novel software angrily and decided to find some fun to heal himself.

She first contacted Qin Shiwen, Qin Shiwu, Zhao Jiahao, Li Anxuan and others separately. After obtaining their consent, Jiang Muyun directly created a Green Message group for them.

After Jiang Muyun made a series of operations.

A green message group chat named [The 15th floor is so cold and I’m so scared (5 people)​​] appeared.

[Xiaobai won't get beaten today: Hey everyone, I just got a batch of camping equipment. Want a barbecue party this holiday?]

[ZJH is still asleep: Date! Let's go! Li Anxuan and I will take turns to have the weekend off!]

[Ann: Do we need to prepare anything? This is my first time camping.]

Dabin: What a coincidence, me too. When are we going?

Xiaobin: Qin Shiwu, why are you asking? Do you have a vacation?

[Dabin:?]

【Xiao Bin:?】

The topic ended with the two siblings next door sending each other question marks.

Because ten seconds later, the whole building heard the sound of Qin Shiwen shouting and showing off his moves.

In fact, Qin Shiwu's busyness is related to his passion for his profession. He is indeed not an illegal worker for the landlord, so he finally joined the barbecue party this weekend.

There are five people living on the fifteenth floor, one is a resident who vows to devote the rest of his life to the operating table, and the other is a coach who is the mother of more than a dozen children in the team and often lives in the training base.

After much calculation, the only ones who could spare the time to make the preliminary preparations were Jiang Muyun, a patient on leave from school, and two trainee firefighters who could leave work on time when there was no emergency.

Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan themselves didn't know when they could get off work on time, so the three of them agreed that as long as they got off work early, they would come to Jiang Muyun's house and knock on the door, and then the three of them would go out together to buy ingredients for the barbecue.

Jiang Muyun was too tired recently and she felt that she needed to rest.

So these days, apart from browsing wholesale websites and buying some small items, I have been staying at home cooking and pickling kimchi. Even my original plan to go wholesale for dairy products, snacks and drinks has been temporarily shelved.

Although the temperature is quite high now and some pickled vegetables cannot be made for the time being, it does not affect kimchi.

Mix white vinegar and sugar in a uniform ratio, then top with chopped white radish and shredded cabbage. Soak it overnight and you have a sweet and sour appetizer.

Jiang Muyun can even put them directly into the space after coding, and take them out in advance when eating.

When Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan knocked on Jiang Muyun's door, Jiang Muyun had just finished stacking the last batch of kimchi.

As soon as Jiang Muyun opened the door, he smelled jealous.

Zhao Jiahao was bewildered. "Are you using white vinegar to disinfect your home? Have you run out of disinfectant? I have a few bottles at home. Do you want some?"

Jiang Muyun admired his train of thought: "I'm making pickled radish according to the tutorial. I'll give you two a box when it's ready."

Perhaps autumn arrived early recently, Jiang Muyun opened the door and felt the heat coming in waves. "Why don't you two come in and wait for a while? I'll take a shower and change clothes before leaving."

Zhao Jiahao smelled the jealous smell in the room and didn't even want to stay at Jiang Muyun's door. "No, no, no, I can't stand sour things, so please don't count me out. It's just right for us to go home and take a shower. When you're done, just call me in the group chat."

Jiang Muyun agreed, went back home to turn off the air conditioner, opened all the windows for ventilation, then took a quick shower, dried his hair lightly and went out.

Ever since he cut his hair short, Jiang Muyun would sigh how convenient it was every time he washed his hair.

The three of them dressed neatly and went out. Li Anxuan naturally took several large shopping bags with him.

As an environmental destroyer who clearly has shopping bags at home but never forgets to bring them, and always has to buy plastic bags at the supermarket, and even specially orders a large number of plastic bags, Jiang Muyun felt a little ashamed at this moment.

Instead of going to the supermarket nearest to their home, the three of them went to a comprehensive supermarket that focused on warehouse-style shopping.

The five of them have big appetites. Not to mention the retired athlete and two active firefighters, apart from Jiang Muyun who wants to eat everything after his rebirth, even Qin Shiwu, who looks the most gentle, eats more than the average man.

After all, performing surgery is a physical job for doctors. If their physical fitness is not up to standard, after a major operation, they may have to lie down with the patient while leaving the operating room.

The big eaters decided on the shopping destination without any discussion.

The portions here are often packaged for ten people, which makes you feel full just by looking at them.

The cart was piled high with marinated barbecued meat and skewers, and they also bought a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Zhao Jiahao and Li Anxuan don’t know how to cook, and they don’t know how much these things will weigh after being cooked, or how filling they will be.

Jiang Muyun wanted to buy as much as possible. Anyway, the other families didn't cook, and the leftovers that couldn't be eaten this time would probably be frozen in their refrigerators, which could be considered an alternative way to store food.

None of the three were sure of the exact amount, so they could only ask the other two for help remotely.

Qin Shiwu only knows how to cook noodles, and Qin Shiwen's only specialty is fried small yellow croaker. She is only responsible for mixing the batter on the scale, and frying in the pan is Qin Shiwu's job.

So when faced with the remote request for help from the purchasing trio, they were quite confused.

Forced to fend for themselves, the conversation in the fresh produce section went something like this: "Will you eat this?"

"Eat, eat, take more."

"Is this enough?"

"We're sharing this with five of us. Want another box?"

"good."

Reciprocating cycle.

This may be a common problem among novices. They buy each kind of food according to the standard of "I think this portion is enough for one person to eat, and if five people eat it, I will multiply the single portion by five", without considering how many types of food they have.

After they walked out of the fresh food area and looked at the full cart, they realized that there was a little too much.

Jiang Muyun took out another small cart and said, "It must be because the boxes are stuck together, so it looks full, right? How many slices of meat can there be in a box as big as bacon?"

Zhao Jiahao rummaged through the cart, and found everything he loved. "I think you're right. And I heard that vegetables shrink after being cooked. It looks like there's a lot now, but maybe there won't be much left when it's cooked."

The three reached a consensus and the purchase continued.

Needless to say, snacks are all in the largest packages.

In order to prevent the few people who had rarely cooked from starving to death, Jiang Muyun also bought a lot of cooked food that could be eaten after heating.

I even chose the largest packages of instant noodles and biscuits of various flavors.

The two people who had never cooked at home and relied on the company cafeteria and takeout to survive every day expressed high praise for Jiang Muyun's foresight.

Jiang Muyun said that she had a tent, a canopy, tables, chairs and benches, so in addition to food, they also had to buy a barbecue grill and charcoal.

This was also the main reason why Jiang Muyun set up this scheme, so that several neighbors could store some supplies for heating and cooking at home.

Zhao Jiahao took a fancy to a large barbecue grill, but was stopped by Jiang Muyun.

The reason was that none of them were petite, and the largest barbecue grill sold in the store could only accommodate two people standing on each side, otherwise they would be cramped and waste carbon.

It’s better to buy two small sizes so that everyone can move around more comfortably.

Li Anxuan thought about it. Jiang Muyun, the smallest of the five, was still half a head taller than most of the girls in the supermarket. He felt that what Jiang Muyun said made sense. Zhao Jiahao was convinced by the two.

Jiang Muyun also suggested buying a few more gas stoves and small pots.

Facing the two people's puzzled looks, Jiang Muyun pointed to the instant noodles in the shopping cart.

Zhao Jiahao: "Okay... okay, it's time to buy some."

Li Anxuan was silent for a while: "Then should we buy a few more buckets of water?"

After all, you may still need to cook the noodles in water.

Maybe it is very likely.

Jiang Muyun pondered for a moment and said, "Let Brother Wu and Sister Wen bring it back. It's more convenient for them to drive."

The noodles are cooked, let’s buy some hot pot base and hot pot meatballs.

Zhao Jiahao happily chose the largest bag of beef balls.

The cooking utensils and ingredients have been bought, and all that’s left is the fuel.
