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 310: Eat Meat If You Can
Bi Qiaoan was also somewhat happy, but still said coldly: "What if the next person is hesitant?"
"Bah, bah, bah, don't say that!" Yu Shui said anxiously: "We will definitely be able to complete the task smoothly and early!"
"I said the wrong thing just now. We will definitely be blessed by God and become European kings!" Bi Qiaoan quickly changed his words.
Yu Shui raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bi Qiaoan. The words "you're smart" were clearly written in his eyes.
Bi Qiaoan didn't bother with him. He walked back to the tent and put the casserole from the storage box on the stove, leaving a small gap for the air vent.
After Shen Yanming and the others came back, one person was left outside to sit on guard, and the rest went back to the tent to warm themselves by the fire.
Although the sun is shining today, the temperature is still freezing.
Yu Shuiwei sat beside the stove, not wanting to start cooking. He just asked curiously, "What kind of soup is this? It feels like you two are really playing house here!"
Shen Yanming lifted the lid, and Yu Shui exclaimed when he saw it: "Meat!"
"Well, are we still playing house now?"
Yu Shui smiled flatteringly and shook his head, "No, no, no, you and Qiao An are extremely serious about your work, and you are particularly caring and loving to your colleagues!"
Shen Yanming nodded with satisfaction, and Yu Shui asked carefully, "Can I have a taste first?"
"It's cold. It's bad for your stomach. Let's heat it up and have lunch."
Yu Shui swallowed his saliva, "Okay then, I'll wait a little longer! Old Shen, is this the standard for all our soups in the future?"
"You're so beautiful!" Shen Yanming was almost laughing out of anger, "Where can I go to get you meat every day?"
"Then where did this meat come from? I thought you were quite capable!"
"No matter how capable I am, I will be useless under the current conditions!" Shen Yanming said, "This is what my friend got from Chun Province."
"Chun Province, so far?"
"Yeah." Shen Yanming mentioned the "reward meat" matter, but he didn't specify which farm his friend got the pork from.
As for whether the friends can get it, it depends on their abilities.
Yu Shui still has a psychological trauma about pork tapeworm, so he asked tremblingly: "Is this meat okay? Is it from some diseased pig?"
"No, it has passed the test and quarantine." Shen Yanming said with certainty.
In fact, how could he know whether the meat had passed the test? It was just a product of the space, so he thought there was no problem.
As for the ones Zeng Yiming gave them, they were still frozen in the refrigerator. That guy was very careful about what he ate, and he must have checked whether the pork was problematic.
Thinking of this, Shen Yanming couldn't help but secretly complain that he actually forgot about the refrigerator.
The power outage keeps coming back one after another. Can your refrigerator withstand it?
When he was collecting supplies, he automatically skipped these household appliances. Now he only has one set in the space and one at home. If they break down, he will have nowhere to cry.
Yu Shui didn't know about Shen Yanming's psychological changes. He smiled happily after hearing that the meat was fine. Because he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
On the one hand, the Qinghe Alliance had a quota, so he could only buy a small amount of meat each month. On the other hand, he had contracted a parasitic disease once, so he was very careful about what he ate. If the meat was not obtained through formal channels, he would not eat a bite.
The other people were also very happy because their situations were similar to Yu Shui's, they all wanted meat.
Cui Xian even heard a sound outside the tent and ran in to take a look.
Chen Yanming knew that everyone was eager to eat meat, but he still insisted on cooking it hot before eating.
But the casserole heats up slowly, so I might have to wait a long time.
The waiting time was a bit torturous, and there were people interrupting me from time to time.
Yes, that’s right, several cars came one after another, and after registering, they needed to be taken to see the house.
It was already noon when they finished the work. Seeing that no one seemed to be coming, Cui Xian also moved the bench back to the tent.
The soup in the casserole finally started to boil.
The aroma of meat penetrated into everyone's nostrils through the cracks.
Shen Yanming took out bowls and chopsticks from the storage box and asked everyone to eat and drink.
Yu Shui and the others didn't hesitate to take action and scooped a full spoonful of soup and meat into their lunch boxes.
When they put it in their mouths, they found it extremely delicious.
Everyone talked and laughed as they ate up the whole pot of pork rib soup, even the steamed buns in the storage box.
Bi Qiaoan didn't expect that they had such a big appetite.
Yu Shui put down his bowl and chopsticks, patted his round belly, and said contentedly: "Old Shen, I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Today, it's really thanks to you. Thank you very much! By the way, what are we eating tomorrow?"
"Go to hell, you haven't even wiped your mouth clean yet and you're already thinking about the next meal, you're so shameless!" Shen Yanming laughed and scolded, "Tomorrow I can't afford millet porridge and meat."
"Millet porridge is not bad. Millet has become a precious thing these days! By the way, when you cook it, remember to add some red dates, lotus seeds, yam and so on. Add whatever you have. We never think it's too much!" Yu Shui said with a smile.
Shen Yanming didn't comment, "It depends on my mood!"
In the next few hours, no more buses appeared, but many private cars arrived one after another.
Everyone carefully checks the information before sending the guests to the designated house.
They were busy until after seven in the evening, when the lights in the rooms where people lived were turned on. Only then did Shen Yanming and his friends discuss packing up and going home.
Shen Yanming would naturally take the pots, pans, and utensils back to wash, but there was really no need to move things like tents back and forth.
So they found an empty room on the first floor, put two coal stoves, tables, chairs and tents in it, and waited to move out the next day.
Cui Xian complained about Yu Shui for this. Because when they inspected the terrain on Friday, they didn't think of moving the tables to the empty rooms first, and they waited until the property management started working today to move them.
Shen Yanming could understand it. It was normal that there was a power outage at night and he was in a hurry to get home, so he didn't expect many things.
Just like him, he was in a hurry that day and was taken advantage of, resulting in the loss of more than 20 kilograms of food.
Although he didn't lack anything, such a mistake still made him unhappy.
After some laughter and jokes, everyone went home.
But before they parted, Shen Yanming said to them, "Qiao An and I will be on duty early tomorrow, you just need to come over at 8:30."
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan returned home and took a shower, they felt alive again.
Although they lit two coal stoves outside, the heat was not enough to keep out the ubiquitous cold wind.
While there was still electricity, the two of them quickly cooked a bowl of noodles, then cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks used today, and then cooked a pot of millet porridge.
At the request of Comrade Yu Shui, Shen Yanming not only put lotus seeds and red dates in it, but also peanuts and soybeans as an extra reward for them.
