Chapter 20: Great Wealth
Under extreme cold, it is difficult for various microorganisms to grow and reproduce quickly, so the decay rate of corpses is extremely slow.
The family in Villa 048 has been dead for nearly a month.
Their bodies, still relatively intact, were randomly thrown in the lobby and corridors of the villa.
The villa was searched vigorously, and the housekeepers took away everything they thought was valuable.
But compared with Villa 008, at least the furniture here is still in place, and you can just clean it up and move in with your luggage.
Having been in contact with corpses since morning, the Gu siblings have now become completely immune to corpses - these horrible things.
They were working hard to move several bodies out of the house and put them on Mu Jiu's heavy truck.
After cleaning up the interior of the villa, we will think about finding a place to bury all the bodies.
Mu Jiu went back to his home, found an oversized stainless steel pot used for cooking soup in the cafeteria and a few thick pieces of fire-resistant wood from his space, brought them over, and lit them in the hall of the villa.
The chilly Villa No. 048 finally had a little warmth.
Mu Jiu took all the weapons and tools from the housekeeper's hands in the morning from the car and gave them to the Gu brothers and sisters.
There are electric saws, shovels, axes, electric batons, daggers, etc., a total of more than 10 kinds.
Leave it for them to use when they go up the mountain to look for supplies. After all, their family will depend on them to keep going in the future.
These tools piled up like a mountain in Mu Jiu's space.
Due to limited firewood, the Gu brother and sister temporarily confined their activities to the hall on the first floor and huddled together for warmth.
As for other places in the villa, I will leave them to be tidied up later, as there is still a lot of time.
Because it was cold to sleep on the floor, the two of them moved the single mattresses from the bedroom on the first floor and placed them next to the fire in the hall, one on each side.
After taking care of their basic living needs, the brother and sister's stomachs began to growl at the same time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Mu Jiu accompanied the brother and sister running around everywhere and unconsciously forgot about mealtime. She was also a little hungry.
Mu Jiu will definitely not treat himself unfairly.
After all, there are so many supplies stored in the space, and if I don’t eat as much as I want, I would be letting myself down in this life.
As for the Gu family's brother and sister, they should now be considered hers.
How could she be so stingy with such a little bit of food and haggle with a child?
She didn't even bother to consider the possibility that the siblings would backstab her for food.
After all, in this chaotic apocalyptic time, she, Mu Jiu, has the absolute strength to protect the two brothers and sisters in this resort where the housekeeper is rampant.
One meal after another, every meal is satisfying, even a child can tell the difference.
So Mu Jiu generously went back to his room and brought all the ingredients and pots and pans needed for cooking on a cart.
Considering that the environment at Villa 048 was rather simple, Mu Jiu decided to make lunch simpler and prepare a big mutton stew to fill everyone's stomach.
Mu Jiu took out a huge pot and placed it on the fire.
Let the brother and sister go to the high place in the yard to fetch large handfuls of clean ice and snow and pour them into the big pot.
Then pour in ginger, garlic, cooking wine, etc. to remove the fishy smell.
Next is today’s protagonist - mutton. Mutton is a warming and nourishing ingredient, very suitable for this extremely cold weather, and can effectively drive away the coldness from the body.
Mu Jiu took out a whole piece of lamb ribs.
This is a little goat weighing about 25 kilograms that Mu Jiu asked the space's housekeeper Beibei to slaughter for her.
The mutton is fresh and tender, and it comes from a two-month-old lamb from the Space Farm.
This stunned the Gu siblings.
Before the end of the world, this thing would not be considered a valuable food for them.
But now, for the Gu brothers and sisters who have not eaten meat for several months, this is simply a godsend!
Mu Jiu used a boning knife to chop the lamb chops into small pieces, put them into the ice and snow, and heated them to boil.
The Gu family brother and sister were like puppies waiting for food, holding bowls, squatting beside the big pot, greedily inhaling the aroma of the mutton soup.
Mu Jiu took out the wild mushrooms that the brother and sister had collected and sent to her house and threw them into the pot.
Mu Jiu had already had these wild mushrooms checked one by one by the space's housekeeper Beibei. They were non-toxic and had high nutritional value!
They sent over several large bags in batches. Mu Jiu ate it twice and found it very fresh and unique in flavor. She liked it very much.
So I dried them all using a machine, stored them, and planned to eat them slowly.
I just took it out today as a side dish to enhance the flavor.
Then Mu Jiu threw three large pieces of instant noodles and three eggs in, which served as today's staple food.
Soon, a big pot of mushroom and mutton soup was ready.
Mu Jiu personally served soup to the two people's bowls, divided the lamb chops, picked up the noodles, and scooped out the eggs.
The bowl that Mu Jiu brought over was so small that it couldn't even be called a bowl. It had to be called a basin. It was a stainless steel basin that was bigger than his face!
Noodles, lamb chops and mushrooms were piled up like a small hill, with a big egg on top of the hill.
Mu Jiu's extravagant eating style almost scared the Gu siblings. This meal was equivalent to what they had eaten in the past month!
"Sister, there are so many... After we finish this meal... won't we eat the next one?" Gu Yang asked with a little concern.
Mu Jiu paused for three seconds while holding the rice bowl and made a decision:
"Well, while we're eating, I have something to announce.
From now on, you two are my people. You will obey my orders in everything. If you have any problems, you can come to me for help."
The Gu family siblings did not hesitate for a second and nodded immediately, "Yeah!"
You know, my sister is the thigh that everyone in the resort wants to hug, but cannot!
Being picked up by the elder sister, he was really rich~ Linmen gave the brother and sister a hard kick!
"From now on, I will provide you with a full meal every day, including meat, and you can take care of the rest by yourselves, ok?"
Originally, with Mu Jiu's strength, he could provide them with three meals a day.
But a little kindness will be resented, after all, this is the end of the world, and nanny-like protection will not be a good thing for both sides.
It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Mu Jiuhe had the same idea as before that she let them rely on others for their livelihood. She hoped that the brother and sister would be able to gain a foothold in the apocalypse.
The Gu family siblings nodded rapidly, "Yeah, yeah!"
In the past, they could hardly get a proper meal into their mouths. Now, not only are they provided with a full meal, but they also get meat. What a perfect condition!
"Okay, it's cold and we consume a lot of energy, so we need to eat well to have the energy to work.
You guys are still going to find a Feng Shui treasured spot at the foot of the mountain to bury the body, so hurry up, if you really can’t eat it, forget it.”
After being reminded by Mu Jiu, the brother and sister of the Gu family held their rice bowls and showed off without caring about their image.
Finish it! For people like them who have experienced hunger, they must finish it. Any hesitation would be disrespectful to the food!
