When the steamed seafood was out of the pot, Xia Guocheng and Xia Huiyin just returned home.
"Wow!" Xia Guocheng smelled the aroma of seafood as soon as he entered the door. He walked quickly to the dining table, looked at the table full of seafood, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "So much seafood! The size of the mantis shrimp is really big!"
Xia Huiyin also came over and looked at the seafood on the table. She also exclaimed: "It smells so good!"
Sun Yuegui brought up the various sauces she had prepared and said to the two of them, "Why did you come back so late? It's cold outside, right? Hurry up and change your clothes and wash your hands. It's time to eat!"
After the two of them finished washing up, the family sat together and began to enjoy this sumptuous seafood dinner.
Xia Shige couldn't wait to pick up a mantis shrimp, peel off the shell, revealing the tender shrimp meat.
She picked up the small plate next to her, scooped a small spoonful of the special sauce, sprinkled it evenly on the shrimp meat, and put the shrimp meat into her mouth. A rich seafood flavor instantly spread in her mouth, and the flavors of the shrimp meat and the sauce blended perfectly together.
Xia Shige's eyes suddenly lit up - Hmm, delicious!
The meat is fresh and chewy, so delicious!
Xia Guocheng peeled a crab and ate it while praising: "This crab is really delicious, there is so much crab roe inside!"
Sun Yuegui peeled a shrimp, dipped it in the sauce and put it in her mouth. While chewing, she said, "Yes, these seafoods are still fresh when they are shipped, so of course they taste good!"
Xia Guocheng was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Fresh? We are not near the sea... Besides, it's snowing so heavily outside, how did they deliver it?!"
Xia Huiyin was peeling shrimp for Xia Shige. Overhearing their conversation, she raised her head and replied, "It is said that drones are delivering the goods."
Xia Huiyin was also surprised when she first received the call from Tang Shiqi. Tang Shiqi told her that Zhou Hong bought some seafood for her. She thought it was sent by someone and quickly refused - it was snowing so heavily outside that she couldn't drive and people would be frozen to death outside in a short time.
She felt relieved when she heard Tang Shiqi say that the delivery was made by a drone.
Sun Yuegui was a little confused when she heard this. She asked, "Drone? How did a drone fly in front of our house?"
Xia Guocheng was also confused. He frowned and said, "Yes, when we came back, we found that the door of the single-story building was blocked by snow. How did the drone fly in?"
Listening to his family's discussions, Xia Shige felt a little numb.
She quickly changed the subject and said, "Mom, uncle, is everything going well for you today? How are the arrangements for the community heating going?"
Xia Huiyin shook her head helplessly and replied, "The situation is not optimistic. We have been testing for a whole day today. If we want to reach the standard temperature for normal heating, this batch of coal will soon be used up..."
The national standard heating temperature is that the indoor temperature should not be lower than 18 degrees Celsius, but now the temperature outside is too low, about minus 40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference is 60 to 70 degrees.
Xia Guocheng also said: "The emergency office discussed it and decided to temporarily control the heating temperature to around 3 or 4 degrees above zero, so that the batch of coal can last for a while longer."
At this point, Xia Guocheng couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, luckily our community is a newly built building with good insulation. If it were those old communities without good insulation, this cold disaster would probably be very difficult to endure..."
Xia Shige nodded when he heard this. It was good enough to control the indoor temperature at around three or four degrees. Although it was still cold, as long as they wore more clothes, they would not freeze to death.
After dinner, Xia Shige took out his phone and continued to browse the owner group chat. He found that everyone was still discussing the blizzard and heating:
“@6-2102幸福一家: Oh my goodness, is the snow still falling outside? If it keeps snowing like this, the entire first floor will be buried in the snow in a few days, right?”
