Chapter 126 Qinhe
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. This is your stuff, and it's my compensation. I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Rong listened to the sudden apology from the person outside the door, looked at the two pistols in his hand that he was going to return to their original owners, and the pile of supplies on the ground, which were all rare foods nowadays, almost filling up the entire steps at the door.
"You're pretty fast." Jiang Rong rolled his eyes.
He took the pistol from the man, put it on his waist, then motioned for him to move away. He then took the things at the door and moved them back into the house four times without any complaints.
"We have received the stuff. As for what happened yesterday... we will bring some people here tomorrow, mostly elderly people and children. I hope that things like yesterday will not happen again. Of course, according to the base's regulations, we will not lose a single point of the points that need to be handed in."
Jiang Rong took advantage of this person's presence to give him a chance to prevent the situation.
The man outside the door nodded silently.
Seeing that he had agreed, Jiang Rong didn't want to say anything more to him.
"Then what happened yesterday is written off. You can go now."
After Jiang Rong finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
Then I thought about what to eat in the evening.
I was just worried about having nothing to eat, but now the problem has been solved.
There was plenty of time in the evening, and Jiang Rong and Zhao Linglan had no other plans for the time being.
In addition, water, electricity, and even gas are still in supply, but they are limited in time and quantity each day.
Tsk tsk.
It is really quite luxurious. Living here is very safe and the quality of life does not seem to be much worse than before the end of the world. The only drawback is that there is no internet.
I don’t know how long this huge gap can last.
However, according to Jiang Rong's personal experience in his previous life, this kind of extravagance among the top classes still existed even a few years after the end of the world.
It just means the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
However, Jiang Rong had only heard about it in her previous life, and with her abilities at that time, she was not qualified to enter such a wealthy area.
Jiang Rong sighed slightly in his heart, and began to study the kitchen with Linglan.
There are two types of cooking facilities in the kitchen, one is a free gas tank and a small pot, and the other is the kind that is used in rural areas where fire is burned under two large pots. Both can be used and you can use whichever you want.
In addition, there are a full range of pots, pans, and utensils here, and they all look new.
In addition, there are even ovens, baking trays, hot pot equipment, etc.
Jiang Rong glanced around the kitchen and once again made a sound of inexperienced self-awareness.
Sure enough, the 100 million points were not wasted, and all kinds of facilities are very complete.
In addition, Jiang Rong and Zhao Linglan also found solar water heaters in the bathroom, air conditioners in each room, and a refrigerator in the living room. The glass of the doors and windows was bulletproof.
There is a small garden on the balcony upstairs, but no one is taking care of it yet, and the flowers in the pots have all died.
Zhao Linglan: "This..."
Even before the end of the world, she had never lived in such a good house or enjoyed such a good environment.
Jiang Rong: Tsk tsk.
"Let's have hotpot tonight. That person just sent a lot of food." Jiang Rong said greedily.
There are fresh meats and vegetables.
Among them was a large bag of various meats, a large bag of various vegetables, and several bags of other snacks and daily necessities.
Then Jiang Rong quietly took out a large bag of ingredients suitable for cooking hot pot from the space and put it in with those things.
Zhao Linglan nodded, indicating that she had no objection, with some anticipation in her eyes.
Before the end of the world, she had never eaten hot pot in a restaurant because her stepfather and mother didn't love her. Because of her introverted personality, she didn't have any serious friends to have dinner with. Even if they cooked hot pot at home occasionally, she never dared to eat more than a few bites and could only eat as much as she could.
The period after she left that place and those people was the happiest time in her short life.
You can eat and drink as much as you want and do whatever you want. You no longer have to worry about being suppressed by others, nor do you have to go through the repeated torture of being given a sweet date and then slapped hard in the face.
After that, the two of them began to look through the 'things' that the man had sent.
"There are actually beef rolls?" Zhao Linglan looked a little surprised. She could actually eat this thing now. Wow.
Jiang Rong took a look and said nothing.
Then he silently took out ribeye steak, chicken fillet, beef fillet, tripe, duck blood, fat lamb, marinated fish fillets, bagged shrimp balls, authentic beef meatballs, pork tenderloin and even fresh seafood prawns and crabs from a black bag.
Zhao Linglan, who was standing next to him, stared at him blankly.
Then from another bag, I took the mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, baby cabbage, thin vermicelli, coriander, and bean curd...
As well as several packets of hot pot ingredients, various seasonings and drinks.
Jiang Rong took out a packet of clear soup and a packet of butter.
There were still a lot of things left, so we stuffed them all into the refrigerator in the living room.
About an hour later, at six o'clock in the afternoon, everything was cleaned up and served on the table, and the hot pot base on the table had already boiled.
The base is still receiving power at this time, and the power supply will be cut off at about 8pm.
"Let's eat~"
Because there is air conditioning in the living room, the indoor temperature is currently maintained at around 24 degrees.
Not too cold and not too hot.
The two of them still have two hours to enjoy the meal.
After Jiang Rong finished speaking, he used the chopsticks in his hand to pick up the beef in the spicy hot pot.
Five boxes of fat beef and fat mutton, enough for the two of them.
However, if it wasn't inconvenient to expose the space, Jiang Rong felt that she could definitely finish a dozen or twenty more boxes.
Zhao Linglan prefers light taste, so she basically only eats clear soup.
She likes it tomato-flavored, or with extra peanut butter.
Jiang Rong simply likes spicy food, so the seasoning in his bowl is usually chili peppers, followed by sesame paste, vinegar, minced garlic, etc.
In addition to fatty beef, Jiang Rong also likes small pieces of beef fillet.
Before the meal, Jiang Rong also fried two pieces of ribeye steak. She and Linglan each had one piece and ate with great satisfaction.
When I was about three-tenths full, the doorbell outside the villa rang again.
Jiang Rong drank a sip of lemonade chilled by lily of the valley to relieve the spiciness in his mouth, then wiped his mouth before getting up to open the door.
Through the peephole on the door, Jiang Rong saw the person outside.
It was Zhou Jingyu, who was now considered a rich man in Jiang Rong’s eyes.
There was a girl behind Zhou Jingyu, whom Jiang Rong didn't know.
Jiang Rong thought that this person would not come to them so late for no reason, so she opened the door.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?"
Zhou Jingyu sniffed the fragrance coming from the house and swallowed with restrained saliva, looking inquiringly. He wondered what Jiang Li and the others were eating in there, it smelled quite good.
Jiang Rong still used a pseudonym when he came to the base.
"My sister knows that it was you who cured my mother, and she also wanted to come over to thank you." Zhou Jingyu explained his purpose.
It was then that Jiang Rong noticed the two men coming, and there were a bunch of big and small bags around them.
Guests are welcome, and Jiang Rong felt that there was no reason to refuse.
"Come in."
Jiang Rong moved sideways to make way for the pedestrians.
Looking at the two sponsors with a smile on his face.
"Just put the food wherever you want. Do you want to eat together?" Jiang Rong didn't bother to be polite with them.
"Is it okay?" Zhou Jingyu asked in a pretended reserved manner, but in fact his eyes had been wandering around the dining table for several circles.
It turned out to be hot pot.
It's not that he can't afford this stuff, but his family members pay attention to health preservation and rarely eat this kind of thing.
Linglan listened to the conversation between the few people and took out two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.
"Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is my sister, Zhou Qinhe."
"This is Jiang Li, and that is Ling Lan."
Zhou Jingyu introduced the two parties to each other.
When Jiang Rong heard the name, his eyes fell on the girl's face and he observed her carefully.
In the end, I actually saw a familiar meaning in it.
If Zhou Jingyu hadn't introduced her, she wouldn't have realized that this person was Qin He.
However, when she met Qin He in her previous life, it was in the south, and Xianfu City at this moment was obviously a northern city.
However, upon thinking back, Jiang Rong remembered that Qin He in his previous life did seem to have said that she was from the north.
Maybe it was by accident that I was left in the south and couldn't go back.
As his thoughts turned, Jiang Rong roughly pieced together the cause and effect in his mind.
Qin was about the same age as her in her previous life, and was probably studying or working away from home. Because the natural disaster came suddenly and she had no special powers, she fell to the bottom of the base like her.
But at the moment, it seems that Qinhe actually has a good family background. If she could return home smoothly in her previous life, she would not have died so miserably in her previous life.
There is a high probability that Jia Jia would not be born.
Nor would their arteries be punctured by that hateful thief, causing both of them to bleed to death.
This is somewhat similar to Xiao Chu's experience.
And in this life, perhaps because of the prophecy before the natural disaster, Qin He returned home early.
As a result, her entire life trajectory was changed.
At this moment, Jiang Rong thought of the mother and daughter who risked their lives to save him during his darkest time in his previous life, but ultimately could not escape a tragic death.
I am sincerely happy for them and I will never make the same mistake again in my life.
"Hello, thank you for curing my mother." Zhou Qinhe was wearing a gray shirt, smooth straight pants, and a high ponytail on her head.
As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Jiang Rong and the other man.
Jiang Rong and the others did not refuse.
Then he invited the two of them to the table and start eating.
The table was square, with one person on each side. After the four of them sat down, they all boiled their dishes and ate hotpot in silence, without speaking in tacit agreement.
There is really no time to talk.
Zhou Jingyu and Zhou Qinhe were not allowed to eat because of their strict family education. Now they have neither the time nor the mood to eat.
It’s a rare opportunity to eat this today, and the ingredients are so abundant. It tastes quite fresh and the taste is really good.
Jiang Rong and Linglan are completely silent. Neither of them is a talkative person, and they don't want to bring up other topics. Talking more means eating less.
That won't work.
The meal was a great success and all four of us were very satisfied.
Because Qin He didn't know him in this life, and he thought that she would be protected by her brother and family in the future, Jiang Rong didn't talk to her in the end.
Early the next morning, Jiang Rong and Linglan left the base, and then spent the whole morning returning to the community. They also spent some time introducing the basic situation of the base to the people in the community.
Everyone was shocked when they found out that they already had a house before they even entered the base...
So there was another round of thanks.
A group of people worked overtime to pack their things and officially set out the next morning. However, because the elderly and children had slow legs and were harassed by mutant beasts from time to time, the group finally arrived at the base in the afternoon.
Then came another day of isolation.
After the quarantine, Jiang Rong and other people with special abilities were fine, but the elderly and children could not bear it.
After everyone got their temporary ID cards and left the quarantine station, the group was taken back to the small villa in the inner area by Jiang Rong and Linglan.
Because the weather was hot, if you really wanted to rest you could just spread out a mat and sleep on it. So as soon as you entered the house, it didn't take long before you could hear snoring sounds coming from some of the rooms.
Jiang Rong and the others also took a short rest at this time.
When I woke up again, it was dark again.
Time flies.
Jiang Rong has already found the jade talisman, and the spiritual jade in the space is also undergoing fusion. According to her idea, after settling these people, the next step is to go straight to Beijing City.
However, things went against their wishes. Just as Jiang Rong and Linglan were preparing to pack up their things, say goodbye to Zhou Jingyu and Zhou Qinhe, and then leave with Uncle Xiao Chu and the others.
The base's alarm suddenly sounded, and the sound echoed throughout the entire base. Jiang Rong and his friends, who had just arrived, didn't know it, but other psychics knew what this level of alarm meant.
Everyone's faces turned pale in an instant, and then they began to flee in panic, almost all of them heading towards the center of the base.
The alarm had just sounded.
The earth began to tremble.
The sky also darkened.
