Yang Qing took out the leftover duck and duck offal from the refrigerator, washed them, and Leng Yi helped to chop them into pieces.
"When is your birthday?" Leng Yi suddenly asked.
"New Year's Eve." Yang Qing smiled. "Isn't that bad? I used to complain about how it wasn't worth celebrating my birthday during the New Year. I didn't celebrate it specially. But after my parents passed away, I felt that celebrating during the New Year was pretty good. At least my parents were by my side every year."
"Sorry." Leng Yi felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. It's been several years. My parents died in a plane crash when I was a freshman in college." Yang Qing said lightly and took the rice cooker to wash rice and cook.
I looked at the bean sprout machine and found that after a day and a night, only half a centimeter of mung bean sprouts emerged. However, they are still edible, so I took them out and ate them first. I can make them again later anyway.
Yang Qing poured out the mung bean sprouts.
I took another piece of pork belly from the refrigerator. Since they knew I had stockpiled it, if they asked me, I would just say I bought it before.
I went to the room and got two self-heating hot pots. I took the opportunity to get a bowl of radish and beef offal from the space and poured it in. I mixed them together and made a big bowl.
After the meal was ready, the people from Room 802 also came down.
They gave Lu Lin a gold bracelet and a box of chocolates, which they must have found when they were sweeping the building last time. It's normal for them to keep some of them to themselves.
Lu Lin was very happy. This was a valuable gift before the end of the world, let alone now.
Everyone sat down together. In addition to the duck and duck offal, there was also braised pork, spicy hot pot, a platter of braised food made up of duck heads and duck feet, fried bean sprouts, and salted peanuts on the table. It was quite rich.
"Happy birthday, Lu Lin!" Everyone raised their glasses together.
"Thank you!" Lu Lin smiled brightly. "I hope everyone here can be safe and have a happy birthday!"
When they had almost finished eating, Yang Qing brought out the cooked longevity noodles and gave everyone a bowl. There was a poached egg in each bowl, and Lu Lin's bowl had an extra sausage.
"I didn't expect Yang Qing's craftsmanship to be so good!" said Wang Min.
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Then you are wrong. It was not me who did it today. It was Leng Yi."
"Really? I can't believe it." Gao Yang looked at Leng Yi. He didn't expect that such a cold-blooded person could cook so well?
"Whoever marries him in the future will be blessed!" Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Leng Yi glanced at Yang Qing, smiled and said nothing.
"By the way, have you eaten broken rice these two days? How do you feel about it? If possible, I would like to buy some more. The money is still usable now, so spend it as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid it will become waste paper in the future." Yang Qing said.
"Yes, although it's not very delicious, it's okay when mixed with new rice." Li Shengnan said.
"That's fine. I'll contact them to buy more. Do you want anything else? I'll ask if they have it." Yang Qing said.
"Can I ask if there is any pork, especially pork belly." Jiang Hao said as he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.
I’m tired of eating duck recently. Pork is still better. If there is chili, I can make stir-fried meat.
"Okay, I'll ask." Yang Qing nodded.
After dinner, Li Shengnan helped wash the dishes and couldn't help but ask, "I've always wanted to ask you, where does this water come from?"
"Ah? Didn't you see that I put a water tank on the top floor? I filled it with water before the end of the world, so there is still..." Yang Qing just realized that he didn't know what kind of water they used after moving to 802.
"We have been collecting rainwater, which is a bit dirty and has a smell," said Li Shengnan.
What she said reminded Yang Qing that she must get a few water tanks back. Although she had some in her space, it was not easy to take them out now.
"Then I'll ask them if they have water tanks for sale. It would be best if I could get some water. But water is precious, so you should try to use it for cooking and drinking. It's better to use rainwater for bathing and washing clothes!" Yang Qing said.
Li Shengnan nodded, "I just don't know if they can get it."
"Ask!" Yang Qing said. If it really doesn't work, she will get water from the space. There is a faucet in the villa where she can get water, but it is not spiritual spring water.
After everyone else had finished tidying up and returned home, Yang Qing went downstairs to find Zhang Nian.
"Miss Yang, do you want to buy food again?" Zhang Nian asked.
"Well, I want to buy more this time, 500 kilograms." Yang Qing said.
"So much?" Zhang Nian was shocked. Even if it was just broken rice, it would be worth one million yuan.
"If it's hard to get, you can give it to me in batches, 100 kilograms at a time, but you have to reserve 500 kilograms. It would be better if you can give it all at once." Yang Qing said, mainly because he was afraid that the money would be wasted in his hands, so he tried to spend it as much as possible.
"Okay, I'll ask for you." Zhang Nian nodded.
"By the way, Cai Qin said last time that they have other things. Can you tell me if they have water tanks? I need two. If they have water, that would be best. What's the price?"
"Ask again if there is any pork. Just buy about ten pounds. Pork belly is best. If not, ordinary pork leg will also be fine." Yang Qing said again.
Zhang Nian was stunned. In this world, having food to eat is good enough, and you still want to eat meat? The people on the seventh floor are really rich.
"Of course, you will be given corresponding compensation as long as you can deliver it. If we go to get it ourselves, there will be no compensation." Yang Qing added.
Zhang Nian nodded. He naturally understood that this was the errand fee for him.
"Okay, I'll ask." Zhang Nian nodded.
The next afternoon, Zhang Nian came to find Yang Qing.
"Ms. Yang, I've asked, and rice is fine. I'll send you 100 kilograms tonight. We also have pork, but it's 5,000 yuan a kilogram. Water tanks aren't expensive, five tons of 304 stainless steel for 4,000 yuan each. But we don't have water!"
Yang Qing nodded. It was as expected. Now everything was flooded. Fresh water was indeed hard to find, and sea water was not drinkable.
"Okay, I need two water tanks and fourteen pounds of pork. Please deliver them over later in the evening. Be careful so that no one sees you." Yang Qing instructed.
"I'll keep an eye on it." Zhang Nian nodded. "Well, I'll send over 100 kilograms of rice and pork tonight at 2 o'clock. As for the water tank, how about tomorrow night?"
"But, you have a security door installed above. Can we get into the water tank?"
Yang Qing just thought of this problem. Yes, even if the security door was removed, the door on the top floor could not be entered, so it could only be hoisted up from the top floor.
Fortunately, the water level had risen to the fifth floor, so even if we had to lift it, we only had to lift it three stories high, and the empty water tank was not heavy.
"Use a rope to lift it up when the time comes." Yang Qing said.
Zhang Nian thought this was a good idea and said, "Okay, then bring the water tank over tomorrow night."
After agreeing on the time, Yang Qing set the alarm to get up at 2 o'clock. Zhang Nian had already moved two 50-kilogram bags of rice to the front of the security door.
Yang Qing quickly moved the rice into the house and gave him four pounds of broken rice.
The remuneration should be paid immediately so that he won’t worry about not paying.
The next day, Yang Qing asked Leng Yi to help lift the water tank from the fifth floor and place it on the top floor.
Zhang Nian also sent some plastic water pipes. It seems that he is quite a good person.
"Tomorrow I will connect the water pipe from the water tank to 802 and my room." Leng Yi said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Qing smiled. Leng Yi was so capable, it seemed like there was nothing he couldn't do.
But there is no water, so we can only collect rainwater.
Yang Qing opened the lid of the water tank to see how much water it could collect in one night.
