The torrential rain continued unabated, and the power system in City A finally gave way, resulting in a complete power outage. News on the internet became increasingly scarce, and many people struggled in the vortex of life.
Le Wu and the others continued their normal lives. The water on the nearby roads was already up to their calves, but it was still some distance from the villa complex and the tunnel, so no one here was worried.
In the past few days, when Feng Xuanlang and his team went out to collect supplies, they found a large plastic bucket for Le Wu that she needed.
Lewu placed all these plastic buckets near the tunnel entrance to collect rainwater, and later every household in the villa complex did the same.
Upon learning of the situation, Yuewu couldn't help but praise everyone.
In fact, Yuewu wanted to reuse the rainwater, since there would be another period of extreme heat, and they were worried that the mountain spring water would dry up and affect their daily lives.
But since music and dance can't be said directly that there will be an extreme heat in the future, they started preparing on their own.
Unexpectedly, everyone was so united. Without her having to say anything, some people followed suit, saving her the trouble of explaining.
The truth is that Feng Xuanlang privately told everyone to store some rainwater because the weather was so abnormal and who knew what would happen next. Even if they didn't end up using it, the water could still be used for washing clothes and watering vegetables.
Over the past few days, Yuewu has stockpiled more than 50 barrels of water, some of which are piled up inside the tunnel entrance, and some have been stored in her spatial dimension. She intends to turn them into ice and store them in her spatial dimension, hoping to use them during extremely hot weather.
Luckily, there was an ice maker that had been retrieved from the Yashiqi Shopping Mall. After reading the instructions, Le Wu started operating it and quickly made ice. She then placed buckets of ice into the water curtain space.
It took two whole days to finish. Afterwards, Lewu followed the little octopus and squirrel to pick the ripe fruits, including apples, pears, ginseng fruit, lychees, mangoes, blueberries, peaches, and oranges. Each one was fragrant and tasted great.
This forced Yuewu to store the fruits she picked in the space separately from those she bought outside, as the difference was too great and it would be difficult to explain later.
After finishing cleaning up the fruit, Yuewu went to the second floor of the tunnel and took out four large baskets, all of which were woven by Grandpa Yue himself.
She began to cut bunches of bright red cherry tomatoes, and put all the other vegetables that were ready to be picked, such as chili peppers, lettuce, romaine lettuce, bok choy, scallions, and Chinese cabbage, into her basket.
Then, as she was about to go out to deliver vegetables to everyone, she suddenly realized that she couldn't use an umbrella while carrying a basket. So, Yuewu sent a text message to Feng Xuanlang, asking him to come and pick up the vegetables, which saved her the trouble of going out herself.
Ugh, I'm getting lazier and lazier, and my excuses are so lame!
Feng Xuanlang came with a few people, each carrying a vegetable basket, and then happily went back.
Because a small amount of spiritual spring water was added to these dishes, they tasted particularly good.
Feng Xuanlang sent a private message praising, "This is the best dish I've ever eaten, bar none."
The villa's WeChat group was already full of praise. For many of them, who were from rural areas, they had never seen vegetables grow so well, and the taste was simply amazing.
Le Wu quickly explained that it was because the hydroponic vertical planting system was set up in the most scientific way, and she hadn't actually done anything and dared not take credit.
They also said that the vegetables they planted later would be ready to eat soon, and they would let everyone try them then.
Hearing this, everyone was even happier.
Many supermarkets are flooded now, and vegetable fields are nowhere to be seen. It's really not easy to eat such fresh vegetables, and they are very grateful.
Yuewu washed all the remaining vegetables and began preparing some food to enrich the space.
First, she took out a piece of pork belly from her spatial storage, sliced it, heated the baking pan, and then spread the pork slices evenly on the baking pan. She heard a sizzling sound, the pork slices shrank slightly, and the oil flowed out. She flipped them over, and the aroma of meat gradually wafted out.
Le Wu found barbecue seasoning and takeout containers in the supermarket supplies. After putting on gloves, she started to wrap pork belly coated with barbecue seasoning in lettuce leaves. The pork belly was golden brown and fragrant, and she couldn't resist putting it in her mouth. She could only think about packing it up after she was full.
Next, she stir-fried some romaine lettuce and Shanghai bok choy. Both dishes were very refreshing and delicious without needing many seasonings.
Finally, I made a stew of cabbage, tofu, and glass noodles. First, I blanched the tofu cubes in water with a little salt to prevent them from breaking apart. Then, I pan-fried the tofu cubes on both sides until they turned golden brown and set them aside. I heated some oil in a pot, added scallions, ginger, and garlic, and sautéed them until fragrant. Then, I added fermented bean paste and sautéed it until the oil turned red. I added the pan-fried tofu, glass noodles, and cabbage, and added water to cover the ingredients. Then, I started to stew it.
After 15 minutes, add salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch slurry. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped green onions, chopped chili peppers, and cilantro.
All the dishes were packed up and put into the space, and Yuewu herself ate until she was stuffed.
Thinking of the fruit she had picked earlier, she really wanted to drink orange juice, so she immediately started using a machine to make orange juice. In no time, she made 50 cups. The machine is so convenient and easy to use.
After enjoying a delicious glass of orange juice, I felt incredibly relaxed and happy. Nothing brings more joy than being well-fed and satisfied.
Le Wu thought the little girl would definitely love freshly squeezed orange juice, so she would bring her some too. She was sure the little girl would be overjoyed. She had to spoil her like that.
As for Feng Xuanlang, we'll see. A grown man probably wouldn't like something sweet and sour, right?
Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.
Realizing she hadn't exercised for several days, she changed into workout clothes and started running on the treadmill. She ran for an hour straight, sweating profusely, her clothes soaked through. But the music didn't stop; she switched to a stationary bike and rode it for 40 minutes before stopping.
To prevent her legs from getting sore tomorrow, Le Wu did stretching very seriously.
