The past two days have passed very quickly. It is almost the end of the year and all the New Year supplies allocated by the state to the Yidu community have arrived.
The supplies were escorted by armed troops and armed police and stored in the warehouse of Jingjing Supermarket.
In the past few days, property staff and security guards have almost all slept in the commercial area, determined not to leave any opportunity for criminals to take advantage.
The property management company sent out a notice early in the morning, informing all property owners in the Yidu community that they should line up to purchase New Year supplies starting at 18:00 the following evening.
Each homeowner in the community can buy one pound of pork, two hundred milliliters of cooking oil, three pounds of flour, and three pounds of rice. The price has probably increased several times compared to before the disaster, but compared to the price after the disaster, it is already a bargain.
As soon as the notification came out, the community group chat instantly became lively:
"3-1007 Qiqi, mother of two children: That's great, the price is so cheap, I can let my child eat something good. My child has lost his appetite after eating sand rattan biscuits for a few days."
“4-1209正㱗淘鱼: Ahhhhh, I was thinking that life was meaningless, but now that I see I can buy pork, I feel like I can continue living!”
“5-1107 Wei Lan: I don’t know why I feel like crying. I can finally have a good New Year, but I don’t know when this will end.”
"6-702 Bai Yueguang: Yes, I remember the tornadoes started in April of that year, and then the high temperatures came. In the blink of an eye, it's February again. It's almost been a whole year."
“2-1408 Gao Meili: It turns out that the country still has stocks. It’s not easy. We haven’t harvested anything for the whole year.”
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: The national grain reserves are enough to feed the entire nation for at least a year. Moreover, our country imported a lot of grain in the early days. If we control the supply, it should be enough to last another half a year."
"7-901 Xiao Li Loves Adventure: But can it really return to normal within half a year? Will the temperature drop in a year? If it keeps snowing like this, I can't stand it any longer."
"4-1209 is slacking off: Who cares! Let's finish eating the supplies first! I'd rather die well-fed!"
"2-1408 Gao Meili: It's New Year's Day, why bother talking about life or death? We all have to live well."
“…”
Xia Huiyin and Xia Guocheng went to Jingjing Supermarket early in the morning to prepare for the distribution of supplies in the evening.
Xia Shige was not idle either. She carried a hemp rope to the Taoyuan Space Farm to tie up the little pigs.
The mini pigs reproduce very quickly, and they need to eat a lot of feed every day. So far, there are more than 20 of them ready to be slaughtered. With the piglets all over the floor, the whole unit seems a bit crowded.
Xia Shige kept a few breeding pigs and sent the other dozen or so small pigs to the workshop for slaughter. They were all plucked, deboned, and their internal organs removed, then minced into meat that was three parts fat and seven parts lean.
Xia Shige looked at the freshly baked meat filling and nodded with satisfaction. The dumplings made from this filling would surely be extremely delicious.
She mixed the vegetables she had grown before, such as leeks, fennel, green onions, shepherd's purse, eggplant, etc., with meat filling and made them into big gift boxes of dumpling fillings for the new year, which she put on the shelves of Taoyuan stores, priced at 50,000 yuan per box.
As soon as Xia Shige put the products on the shelves, thousands of gift boxes were sold out in an instant.
While Xia Shige was diligently packing and shipping the goods, he was recalling the timeline of his previous life. If everything remained the same, then this high temperature would be over in more than two months.
Since April, many volcanoes have erupted one after another around the world. The volcanic ash produced by the eruptions has been sent to high altitudes, covering the sky, and the world will enter a long dark night.
The sunlight cannot penetrate the clouds, the surface temperature continues to drop, and cold nights and snowfall will follow.
Xia Shige remembered that the heavy snow lasted for more than two months in the later period, freezing countless people to death.
Many people could not bear it and died that year.
After delivering the goods, Xia Shige left the space and went downstairs. Grandma and Grandma Liu were busy working in the vegetable garden in the front yard.
The leeks and fennel in the vegetable garden were growing vigorously. My grandmother was watering them while muttering to herself that we could use these vegetables to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year in a few days.
Sun Yuegui was practicing with a crossbow at a target in the backyard. In the past few days, Xia Shige had given crossbows to everyone in the Xia family and taught them how to use them. The whole family was practicing hard, even grandma and Grandma Liu.
