Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 295 Preparation

Chapter 295 Preparation

Shen Yanming put down his phone, returned to the space, looked at Bi Qiaoan who was sleeping soundly, and decided to find something for himself to do.

Considering that the temperature in Beiha City has been frighteningly low recently and the residents of Beiha City have come from far away, even with the dual help of the Qinghe Alliance and the Guard, they are likely to catch a fever, a cold, and frostbite.

Therefore, Shen Yanming took a lot of medicinal materials from the storage area and made frostbite ointment according to the recipe in the ancient books.

After the soup was cooked and cooled, Shen Yanming poured it into an empty face cream box.

These boxes were collected by Bi Qiaoan after she washed and cleaned the skin care products she used. They were used to store all the messy things they created.

After finishing everything, Chen Yanming felt sleepy. After putting the materials and tools back in their respective places, he went back to the bedroom and hugged his wife to sleep.

Maybe it was a bit tiring to stay up all night to make the ointment. The next day, Bi Qiaoan had been up for a long time, but Shen Yanming was still making plans with Zhou Gong.

The first thing Bi Qiaoan did after getting up was to wash up, and the second thing was to eat breakfast.

Since no one was with her, she just had a simple meal: a glass of milk, a few pieces of bread, and a bowl of cherries. That’s it!

Then, Bi Qiaoan also thought about the relocation of people in Beiha City. Although she and Shen Yanming could not help others openly, they could still show care from the details.

So, while her husband was still asleep, Bi Qiaoan used her consciousness to dig several pieces of ginger from the vegetable garden, washed them, cut them into slices, and hung them on the balcony to dry.

Then he used his consciousness to take a few bottles of honey from the hive and placed them on the kitchen counter.

It only took about half an hour to finish all this. Bi Qiaoan glanced at the wall clock and it was not yet noon.

In that case, let’s make something else as a gift for Zeng Yiming!

As soon as Shen Yanming opened his eyes, he found that the person in his arms was gone, so he got up, put on his slippers and walked out of the bedroom, and saw Bi Qiaoan busy in the kitchen.

At this time, Bi Qiaoan had already changed into a normal nightgown, but the silky satin still couldn't hide her charm.

Shen Yanming just leaned against the wall and stared blankly.

Bi Qiaoan felt the burning gaze behind him, turned his head and asked with a smile: "Are you up? What do you want to eat?"

"Eat you!" Shen Yanming walked forward and hugged her waist from behind. Although her belly was slightly protruding, she was still slender and boneless.

"Don't make trouble. Wasn't it enough yesterday?" Bi Qiaoan smiled and slapped Shen Yanming's big hand away, then said, "I didn't make breakfast. Is milk bread okay?"

Shen Yanming did not answer, but looked at the things on the operating table and asked, "Are you making rose jam?"

"Zeng Yiming is coming tomorrow, so I thought of making some rose jam as a gift for him."

"Yeah, that's good. You can give him things like tea and coffee that don't fill his stomach."

Bi Qiaoan chuckled, "After all, he found so many baby animals and fruit tree seedlings for you, and you're just perfunctory like this?"

Shen Yanming pretended to be aggrieved, "I am not being perfunctory, I am clearly protecting myself!

You also know Zeng Yiming's abilities. Whatever he wants, he can get it. Why should we expose ourselves?

Besides, our rose jam is the best stuff."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, and Shen Yanming let go of her and asked, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."

Bi Qiaoan is not picky, "It's all right, I'll eat whatever you cook!"

Shen Yanming pushed Bi Qiaoan out of the kitchen and said, "The rose petals still need to be pickled for a long time, so we'll do it in the afternoon. How about we have yam and pork ribs soup for lunch?"

Bi Qiaoan had no objection, so she listened to Shen Yanming continue, “By the way, I promised Yu Shui and the others that during the reception, our family would bring them a bowl of soup every day, a different kind.

I was thinking that since they took the initiative to share your work, we can’t do nothing to show our appreciation.”

"Sure, I think it's great, but it seems difficult to make it different. After all, we have to do the same as everyone else, with limited ingredients."

"It doesn't matter, just make some changes!" Shen Yanming said with a smile, "For example, make cabbage and tofu soup for them today, cabbage and vermicelli soup tomorrow, and add some minced meat to the cabbage soup the day after tomorrow. In short, there is still a lot of room for manipulation."

Bi Qiaoan didn't expect that Shen Yanming would be so cunning when facing Shui and the others, and he bent over with laughter.

She laughed and said, "Don't always pick on the cabbages. We still have potatoes and eggs."

"I know. It's just an example. We'll see how they perform. If they perform well, they'll have meat to eat. If they don't, they'll just have cabbage soup."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan chatted while making lunch.

Two full pots of yam and pork ribs soup, one for myself and one for myself, which was like water that I would give them to drink after they passed the test.

Shen Yanming put one of the pots into the storage area, then took out a few buns from the storage area and had lunch with Bi Qiaoan with the remaining pork rib soup.

After eating, Bi Qiaoan told Shen Yanming about her preparation of ginger slices, and Shen Yanming also told Bi Qiaoan about his preparation of frostbite cream.

It turned out that without knowing each other, they both made efforts for the people of Beiha City.

Well, they are all kind people!

After clearing the dishes, the two took a short rest and then went about their own business.

Shen Yanming continued to make frostbite ointment because he was afraid of staying outside for a few days. In the end, not only the residents of Beiha City would need it, but also the reception staff like them.

Moreover, once the word spreads that he has a very useful frostbite cream, he is afraid that someone will come to buy it, so he'd better prepare some in advance.

As for Bi Qiaoan, she continued to finish the rose jam in the kitchen. Since she had plenty of time, she also made a few snacks, including mung bean cakes, pea yellow, and peanut crisps.

The weekend soon arrived, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got up early.

When they finished washing up and left the space, it was still dark outside.

Shen Yanming took out his cell phone and saw that luckily he and Qiao An came out early. Zeng Yiming had already left the toll station and arrived at Qingyu Community in about half an hour.

The two of them quickly took out the ingredients for entertaining the guests from the space and put them into the kitchen.

The gifts prepared for Zeng Yiming were also taken out and put into the storage room.

After doing all this, Shen Yanming called Chen Shunwei and felt relieved when he knew that he was on duty in the security room. Then he changed into a down jacket and woolen pants and went out.

Bi Qiaoan stayed at home to prepare breakfast for the guests.

Ten minutes later, Shen Yanming knocked on the door of the security room.

"Mr. Shen, why are you here? Is it Boss Zeng?" Chen Shunwei, wearing pajamas and a big cotton jacket, welcomed Shen Yanming into the house.

"Well, it's probably only about ten minutes' drive away."

Because it was still dark, Shen Yanming was afraid that calling would distract the other party, so he only calculated the time from the received message.
