The sweet and sour tomato soup was topped with a generous amount of crisp, fresh lettuce and spinach, while on the other side, a spicy hot pot was boiling, with shrimp balls and sliced beef tumbling in the bright red broth.
Cheng Zhi held the bowl, bit her chopsticks, and stared intently at the pot, as if afraid it would grow legs and run away.
"Waaah, five hundred years... I, Old Sun, can eat hot pot again! I'm so touched!" Although this was a bit of an exaggeration, Xiao Feiran was really close to tears. After all, he was struggling financially before he died, and eating hot pot was a luxury he could only dream of.
Outside, a fierce wind and torrential rain raged, but inside room 806, the hot pot feast was in full swing. Perhaps because they had prepared a little too much, the five of them were so full after finishing the last piece of green vegetable that they collapsed in their chairs.
Having experienced being broke before, Cheng Zhi looked at the bottom of the pot and rubbed her stomach. "We need to eat sparingly. Don't throw away the tomato soup; we can use it to cook noodles again tomorrow at noon."
Chen Siyu, who was also feeling uncomfortably full, stretched on the open ground nearby. "Don't throw away that spicy hot pot. We can make some more meatballs tomorrow for another meal."
"Okay! I'll pack it up and put it in the fridge, and we'll eat it like this every day." Huang Yiyi nodded, picked up the pot, and walked into her spatial dimension. The remaining people also stood up and began to clear the dishes.
The five people quickly finished cleaning and then everyone started washing up.
The wind and rain outside were really strong, banging on the bathroom door. If Cheng Zhi hadn't used a bucket of water to prop the door open, she might have ended up naked while taking a shower.
After washing up, Cheng Zhi darted through the glass door and entered the dormitory. While drying her hair, she said, "Friends, why don't you guys go inside the space to wash up? It's so windy outside, I feel like the bucket is going to burst through the door."
The remaining four people opened the door and took a look. They unanimously decided to shower in the dormitory. After all, they didn't know if there would always be water and electricity in the room. If the usage was limited, it would be too wasteful to use it up in advance.
What he said made a lot of sense, so Cheng Zhi didn't say anything more. Returning to her seat, she still felt very full. So, Cheng Zhi picked up the yoga mat that had been gathering dust in the corner and started learning a video on self-defense for women.
If anyone dares to hit her in this lifetime, she will beat them to a pulp and make sure no one can touch a single hair on their head again.
Xiao Feiran and Chen Siyu had nothing to do after showering, so they joined Cheng Zhi, and the three of them practiced in the dormitory.
Zheng Wan and Huang Yiyi were also busy. They got together to try to learn medicine, and the two of them turned on their online classes at 1.5x speed, their pens flying across their notebooks.
Half an hour later, both sides stopped their activities and started to give up.
Xiao Feiran gasped for breath, "I'm useless. My life almost ended before I even finished warming up."
Huang Yiyi lost her dream and sneered twice, "Luckily, my college entrance exam score wasn't high enough to apply to medical school, otherwise I wouldn't have died in the apocalypse, I would have died right at the end of the semester."
Cheng Zhi finally caught her breath, scrambled to her feet, turned off the computer, and went to bed. "My friends are leaving. See you next time!"
Everyone gradually got up and got into bed.
Despite the accusation of "letting things slide," everyone was still busy. Cheng Zhi watched videos about farming, while her rival Xiao Feiran browsed campus secondhand groups, trying to find something useful.
Chen Siyu was looking at organization tips, wanting to reorganize the things in her space. Zheng Wan was asking her grandmother how to pickle vegetables and make dried vegetables. Huang Yiyi was looking at various "post-apocalyptic survival guides" on Zhihu, and even taking notes.
Time flies, and it was already 11 o'clock. Adhering to the idea that going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health, the lights in room 806 were turned off early.
In the darkness, Cheng Zhi read news about school and business closures due to the typhoon and related accidents before turning off the screen and drifting off to sleep.
Around 7 or 8 a.m. the next day, everyone got up one after another. The wind and rain outside were still blowing, and 806 no longer peeked through the door.
Zheng Wan, still half asleep, opened the cabinet door, intending to go into the space to make breakfast. But as soon as she entered and walked towards the balcony, she was stunned by the sight of the green sprouts in the vegetable garden.
Zheng Wan slapped herself twice, then tried to open her eyes wide. The green sprouts were still there; this was no illusion.
"What is this thing? Is it magical land? It can sprout overnight? That's so illogical!" Huang Yiyi adjusted her glasses, her emotions running high.
Cheng Zhi squatted on the ground, touching the small green sprout with her hand, her tone still very calm, "Big sister, is it possible that the existence of this space is already very illogical?"
Xiao Feiran and Chen Siyu, standing to the side, were overjoyed and had already joined hands to sing and dance, "Today is a good day~ all my wishes will come true..."
Zheng Wan carefully examined the condition of the field, flipped through the beginner's guide to vegetable planting on her phone, and started calculating on her tablet.
Only leafy greens sprouted in the field. Generally, it takes about 10 days for vegetables to sprout, but they sprouted in the space in just one day. So the time in the space was about ten times faster.
Huang Yiyi's eyes lit up immediately, and her voice was filled with joy, "Doesn't that mean we can harvest sweet potatoes in just one month?! We won't starve!"
Cheng Zhi, who was still squatting beside the land, was not very happy. She said calmly, "It would be good to have a harvest, but it is undeniable that we are novices. It is our first time growing vegetables, and it is easy for them to not survive or to have no harvest at all."
Hearing this, everyone snapped out of their cheerful mood. Xiao Feiran, who was getting water to water the vegetables, patted her roommates on the shoulder reassuringly and smiled calmly, "Zhizhi is right, but you don't need to be so alarmed. We have enough food to last three or four months. Calm down. Instead of thinking about these things, let's water the vegetables and figure out how to grow them well."
Zheng Wan nodded in agreement, "While there's still internet, I'll ask my friends in the agricultural college and learn more."
