Chapter 173 Zhao Ping'an's Home
Zhao Pingan shook his head embarrassedly:
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and we have a good harvest of vegetables at home. I plan to cook a few more dishes and invite you guys to come over and play."
Chu Peipei's eyes lit up: "Really? Happy birthday! I'll be there tomorrow."
She was exhausted physically and mentally by being entangled with Li Guifen and her son some time ago. Now she can have dinner with her friends and she is happier than anyone else.
Annan also gladly accepted the invitation: "What time tomorrow?"
Zhao Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Seven o'clock in the evening. The weather will be a little cooler, and it won't affect your rest."
The three of them quickly agreed.
The next day, the two girls each brought gifts to the door.
Chu Peipei brought some snacks that she was reluctant to eat.
Annan brought some chemical reagents found in Taiyu Building.
These reagents are useless to others, but they are good things to Zhao Pingan. After all, he often has to do research, and many chemical materials are now nowhere to be found.
Zhao Pingan took the gift somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for making you spend money! I'm already happy enough that you came."
Having said that, he quickly led them into the house.
When the two men entered, Hu Cuilan was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, she immediately poked her head out.
"Two little girls are here? Aunt Hu still hasn't finished cooking two dishes, you three can chat first!"
The two wanted to go into the kitchen to help, but Zhao Pingan quickly stopped them: "No, no, you are a guest. I will show you around my house."
Only then did Annan and Chu Peipei look around Zhao Ping'an's home.
The two apartments on the 15th floor belong to the mother and son. The apartment 1501 where they are now is the living area for the mother and son.
The living and dining room used to be very large, but now only a small half of the space is left for the sofa and the dining table, and the rest of the space is filled with supplies piled to the ceiling.
This three-bedroom, two-living room house also has an additional attic, which is equivalent to four rooms.
The mother and son each lived in a room. Hu Cuilan's room was clean and tidy, and there were many extra supplies piled up in it.
Zhao Ping'an's room was more like a study, with many charts and data on the walls that they couldn't understand.
Another room was converted into a laboratory, which contained bottles and jars of reagents and various iron and metal parts.
Zhao Ping'an's organs and medicines should have been invented in this place.
The attic was used as a warehouse and was filled with supplies.
Zhao Pingan introduced them with a smile: "Most of the supplies for Unit 1501 were collected from the group of people who collected protection rations."
Then he wanted to take them to 1502.
The two girls looked at each other, both a little hesitant.
Annan said, "We won't go there."
They had seen a lot of the supplies in 1501 before, as the three of them had moved in together. As for 1502, it was estimated that all the supplies were stored by the people before the natural disaster.
They just came to have a meal and there was no need to go deep into their base camp.
Zhao Ping'an didn't mind, he smiled and blinked, saying: "You can tell a person's true character by looking at the things he encounters. We have been through so much together, I completely believe in your character."
Then he opened the door of 1502 and said, "Come and take a look. Maybe it can give you some new ideas for storing supplies."
Perhaps because it housed many agencies, the door of Room 1502 was thick and sturdy. Annan stopped at the door to study it for a moment before walking into the house.
As soon as I entered, I heard Chu Peipei exclaiming: "Oh my god! Zhao Ping'an, your place is really... magnificent."
Even Annan, who was knowledgeable and well-equipped, couldn't help but open his mouth.
How can this be a residential building? It is clearly a small survival base!
As you enter the living room, the first thing that comes into view is the lush green planting area.
The various vegetables are divided into several layers and planted in shelves of different heights. At first glance, the entire living room, except for the place where the generator is placed, is full of vibrant vegetables from floor to ceiling.
Chu Peipei couldn't help but sigh: "Auntie is so amazing!"
She also grows vegetables at home, but not on such a large scale. She only plants some on the balcony, and the growth is average.
Zhao Ping'an smiled and said, "Some of these are high-temperature resistant vegetables that have been successfully improved and have a high survival rate. I'll bring you some seeds when you leave later."
The restaurant and kitchen on the other side were converted into a breeding area.
The restaurant was full of chickens, six large chickens and about twenty newly hatched chicks. In the kitchen there were about forty rabbits.
Annan was surprised: "I remember you only bought a pair of rabbits?"
Zhao Ping'an smiled and said, "Rabbits are more fertile than chickens. As soon as I brought her home, she gave birth to a litter of 15 little rabbits. And just one month later, she gave birth to another litter. She gives birth every month!"
He pointed at the rabbits and said, "After a while, the little ones will be able to have babies. You know what exponential explosion is, right?"
Chu Peipei nodded: "A rabbit gives birth to ten in a litter, and these ten give birth to a hundred, and the hundred give birth to... OMG!"
Zhao Pingan: "The key is that while the new rabbits are giving birth, the old rabbits are still giving birth."
Chu Peipei: "In another year, your family can open a rabbit factory!"
Zhao Pingan shook his head: "Where can we get so much food to feed them? Leave two pairs to reproduce, and the rest will have to be eaten."
Annan laughed and said, "What did the rabbit seller say?"
The three of them looked at each other and said, "We can't finish it. We can't finish it at all! Hahahaha!"
Zhao Ping'an grinned and said, "When you go home later, each of you can take a pair of babies with you. You won't have to worry about having no meat to eat anymore."
Annan thought of the warlike Fugui and Laifu at home, and couldn't help wondering: What would happen if the rabbit drank the spiritual spring water?
So he agreed readily.
Chu Peipei did not refuse.
When she was at the floating market before, she did not have as much supplies as she does now, and she was afraid that she would not be able to raise poultry, so she did not buy rabbits.
Now she is taking good care of Xiaobai, and he can even lay fresh eggs for her to eat. Naturally, she is not afraid to raise two more rabbits.
The three of them talked and went to other rooms.
1502 is still a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment with a loft. All four rooms are used as warehouses.
The first room was filled with gasoline and diesel. Some of them were neatly packaged, probably the fuel Zhao Pingan had stockpiled before his death.
The other part was a mix of all kinds of barrels, and it was obvious that they were the loose oil that Chu Peipei and I had collected on the street some time ago.
The room was originally on the shady side, so Zhao Ping'an even sealed the windows and took fire-proof measures.
The other three rooms are all filled with daily necessities.
Most of them were food and water, a small portion were various daily necessities, and there were also some materials that Zhao Ping'an needed to build the organization.
