Chapter 10 Chapter 10 I brought you a cart of...garbage.
In the following days, Su Qing spent her time looking for gasoline and collecting building materials. In a blink of an eye, she had been in this world for almost half a month.
Perhaps the city she lived in had long been abandoned by people, and only one living person had been seen so far.
Thinking of Lu Chen, it has been a week since he left, and it seems that he will never come back.
Now there is only one glass left to be collected to upgrade the wooden house, and she is now at the door of the glass factory.
"Su Fuguier!"
A silver shadow rushed out of the factory.
"Is there anything going on inside? Did you find anything?"
"Awoo~Awoo~" Fuguier wagged his tail at Su Qing.
It seemed that there was no problem. She also accidentally discovered that Fuguier had an amazing IQ and could completely understand what he said to her, so she tried to ask Fuguier to help her explore the way. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good. Not only did it save her a lot of time, but sometimes she could also discover some unexpected surprises.
Su Qing followed Fuguier, and saw it leading Su Qing through twists and turns to a half-hidden factory building. She opened the door and saw it was full of stacked glass.
Su Qing quickly put it away, and soon the place was empty.
"OK! Let's go home."
Su Qing took Fuguier back to the car and drove back quickly.
Returning to the wooden house, Su Qing couldn't wait to open the house interface and click to upgrade the wooden house.
The wooden house in front of him and all the surrounding buildings were covered by a large piece of cloth. After a while, a courtyard with two entrances appeared in front of Su Qing.
The dilapidated house turned into a villa in seconds! Su Qing couldn't believe it for a moment.
Pushing open the ancient red wooden door in front of them, Su Qing walked in with Fuguier.
What comes into view is a stone carved hollow screen wall. When you walk into the yard, the spring pool that was originally in the open space appears in the center of the yard. Standing there is quite a scenic spot. There is a wing room on each side of the yard, and a main room in the middle.
Su Fugui fluttered around in the yard curiously, while Su Qing opened the door of the main room and walked in to look around. The decoration in this room was in modern Chinese style.
The main hall in the middle is antique, with a round table and a few low stools in the middle of the room, a Luohan bed against the wall in the middle, and a Taishi chair on each side.
Pushing open the door on the left side of the room, there is a bedroom. There is a rather modern bunk bed against the wall, with several bed curtains hanging on the surrounding frame. There is a dressing table next to the window.
Su Qing walked back to the main hall and opened the door on the right. This was the bathroom with separate wet and dry areas. She finally, finally, finally had a toilet again.
And there is water and electricity in this house!
It really paid off for her to go through so much trouble and search for materials day and night. It was really worth it.
Su Qing returned to the bedroom, stretched out her arms and fell on the bed. She missed this soft big bed so much. Her waist was about to break after sleeping on the wooden board for half a month.
“Awooo~Awooo~”
Fuguier ran into the house and shouted at Su Qing.
"What's the matter? You must be satisfied with your new home." Su Qing sat up and picked up Fuguier.
"Woof woof woof~Woof woof~"
Fuguier looked very happy, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with this place.
Su Qing lay on the bed for a while, then got up and went out to look at the east and west wing rooms again.
The east wing looked like a guest room, and its furnishings were similar to her house, while the west wing was divided into two parts, one half was a kitchen and the other half was a small warehouse.
The kitchen is very simple, with a few shelves, a long workbench with a sink on it, and two stoves by the window that require firewood to burn.
But there is electricity here, so she has the opportunity to go to the city to find household appliances such as refrigerators, induction cookers, and rice cookers and bring them back.
To celebrate moving into a new house today, Su Qing decided to cook a few dishes.
Open the breeding interface, there are 3 chickens and 12 rabbits in the poultry category, and more than 200 fish in the aquatic category.
She had set up a few traps in the mountains before and caught a few wild rabbits and pheasants. Among the rabbits, there happened to be a pregnant female rabbit. A few days after she brought it back, she gave birth to a litter of baby rabbits.
And those fish that were about to give birth also added more than 100 small fish to her brood.
Su Qing directly chose to process in the breeding page, and a clean chicken and two fish appeared in her backpack. She discovered this processing function by chance. There was a small house in a corner of the breeding page. She added the things that needed to be processed and could directly harvest the clean meat.
Then she lit a fire to cook the rice, and took out a limited number of seasonings, salt, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar, which she found in a small shop and directly saved her taste buds.
Put the whole chicken into the pot and add water to stew it first.
There was nothing to do while waiting, so Su Qing walked into the yard and started playing with Fuguier.
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled Su Qing.
Why is there someone knocking on the door? She quickly took out a wooden stick from her backpack and slowly walked towards the door. Seeing Su Qing like this, Fuguier also became alert and ran over.
"Which...who?"
"Su Qing, it's me."
A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Is it Lu Chen? Su Qing quickly stepped forward and opened the door a crack. Through the gap, he saw Lu Chen, dressed in black, standing at the door, his hand still in the gesture of knocking.
"It's you! I thought you wouldn't come back. Come in." Su Qing opened the door completely.
"Ahhh~" Fuguier saw Lu Chen's excited face.
The two walked into the yard, and Lu Chen looked around the house calmly.
"You've changed a lot here."
"Ahahahaha, it's all accidental, accidental."
How could a courtyard house appear out of nowhere in the wilderness? When he came here, he almost thought he had found the wrong place.
He had only been walking for a short time, and even if a large number of people were used to build it, it would not be so fast.
"You came at the perfect time. I was cooking. Would you like to eat something together?"
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble. You play with Fuguier. I'll go to the kitchen." After saying that, Su Qing quickly walked into the west wing.
She didn't expect Lu Chen to come back. The time interval was so short that she really couldn't explain the origin of this courtyard house. She could only leave quickly under the pretext of cooking.
Su Qing thought for a long time but couldn't find a good reason. She thought so much that her head hurt. She shook her head and thought, "Forget it! It doesn't matter!" If Lu Chen asked her later, she would just answer "I don't know" no matter what he asked. If she didn't say anything, would Lu Chen still force her?
The rice in the pot was cooked and the chicken was almost done. Su Qing took out the mushrooms and bamboo shoots, cut them up and put them into the chicken soup and continued stewing.
After serving the rice, Su Qing took out the fish and fried the chicken oil first. Then she put the fish in and fried it on both sides. She didn't have any oil, but the chicken had some fat, so she just needed to cut off the chicken fat, but the taste would be a little worse.
Then she added soy sauce, sugar, a little vinegar, and finally put in water to simmer. She planned to use this seasoning to make braised fish. She didn't know if it would taste good. When the water was almost boiled, she would add salt and it was ready to be served.
After packing the fish and chicken soup, Su Qing walked out first with the fish, only to see Lu Chen standing motionless beside the spring pool in the yard, wondering what he was thinking.
"It's time to eat."
"Okay." Lu Chen turned and walked into the kitchen to help her get the vegetables.
The two of them placed the food on the round table in the main hall and sat down.
Lu Chen looked at the dish and soup on the table and said, "The food is more abundant now."
"I caught the fish in a nearby river, and I caught the chickens in traps on the mountain. I raised all the extra ones."
Lu Chen took a bite of the fish and found it tasted very good. Although it was simple, the taste was no less than that of the restaurants before the apocalypse. The chicken soup was also very delicious. He hadn't eaten such delicious food for a long time.
In this end times, people have no time to pursue taste. As long as there is food to eat and they can eat it, that’s enough.
"Have you found your friend?" Su Qing asked.
"Um."
"Then what are you doing back here?"
"Due to some special reasons, I can't return to my base for the time being. I wonder if you mind if I stay here for a few more days. I will pay for your accommodation."
"Oh, the east wing is the guest room. You can stay there."
"I also brought back some things. You can go and have a look later."
The two of them finished their meal quickly. After cleaning up, Lu Chen took Su Qing out and saw a small truck parked on the small road leading to them.
Lu Chen walked to the back of the truck, holding a key in his hand, and looked at Su Qing with a complicated expression on his face, "I brought you a truckload of...um...junk."
After that, he inserted the key and turned the door to unlock the cargo box. Just before he opened it, Lu Chen turned to Su Qing and said, "You'd better find something to cover your mouth and nose."
Su Qing looked at his strange operation with a puzzled look on his face, then waved his hand and signaled him to drive directly without taking it seriously.
Lu Chen opened the cargo door with a complicated expression, then quickly pulled Su Qing back. Immediately, an indescribable smell gushed out, and Su Qing was almost choked to death by the sour, smelly, corrupt smell mixed with various indescribable smells.
She was so choked that tears came to her eyes. She quickly raised her hand to cover her nose and took several steps back.
The cargo box was filled with broken and rotten things that were beyond recognition.
This is truly... garbage.
After a long while, her nasal cavity felt a little better. Su Qing pinched her nose, walked quickly forward, and put the things in the car into her backpack.
The stuff was gone, but the smell was still lingering in the air. Su Qing signaled Lu Chen with his eyes to quickly close the cargo door, then turned and left.
Su Qing walked into the yard, took out several strawberries from his backpack, put them under his nose and sniffed them madly, which dissipated a lot of the stench.
Lu Chen followed in and said helplessly, "I warned you."
Su Qing raised her eyes and glared at him. Yes, he did say it, but he didn't explain it clearly, so how could she know?
"You're quite calm, don't you find it smelly?"
Lu Chen frowned, as if thinking of something bad. "I've gotten used to it." After all, he had been in the same car with these things for several hours...
Well, it’s quite difficult for him to collect all this garbage in the car.
"I brought you a few barrels of gasoline. They're in the car, but your car is a totaled one. I'll find you one when I have time."
Su Qing waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I just picked it up on the road anyway."
