Chapter 81 Air Conditioning

Fugui, who had eaten and drunk his fill, stood beside him with a bulging belly, and came over again when he smelled the food.

"Delicious dog!" Annan threw another piece of roasted crocodile meat to it.

After baking, she knocked on the door of 1401.

Chu Peipei opened the door and came out, wearing only a very short suspender nightgown. She held an advertising leaflet in her hand and fanned herself with it.

When she saw the barbecue in Annan's hand, her eyes lit up and she quickly took it.

"Nannan, how do you know I'm too hot to cook?"

He bent down and smelled it again: "What a nice smell!"

Although Chu Peipei also got a lot of crocodile meat, she basically cut it into thin slices and cooked it directly, trying to save fuel as much as possible.

She hadn't had anything like this kind of grilled food sprinkled with cumin and spices for a long time.

"Nannan, wait a moment. I'll bring you some dry food in exchange."

An Nan stopped her and said, "No need. These are what you and Zhao Ping'an caught before. I roasted too much and can't finish them. Let's eat together. Today is my treat."

Chu Peipei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll treat you next time. Thanks to you, my family now has enough supplies."

As she spoke, she looked at Annan's face in surprise: "I stayed at home without moving, and my face turned red from the heat. You grilled skewers, and you still look normal?"

Annan said honestly, "I have a generator at home and I have the air conditioner on."

There is nothing to hide about this. Her house has an outdoor air conditioner, and Chu Peipei lives next door. Sooner or later she will find out that she turned on the air conditioner.

Chu Peipei looked as if to say "I see", and was not surprised any more.

Annan's family is well-off, so it's not surprising that they have a generator to keep the air conditioner running.

Even she, who had just become rich by catching crocodiles, had a generator at home.

As for why she is still so hot...

The good news: She got a generator instead.

Bad news: replaced with null.

Of course, an air conditioner alone cannot buy such a precious thing.

Chu Peipei used a lot of food and gave away appliances that she thought were useless, such as air conditioners, washing machines, dishwashers, etc., to buy the generator and a small amount of fuel to keep the refrigerator running.

Who would have thought that the weather would suddenly become so hot.

Now air conditioning has become a good thing.

Chu Peipei couldn't help but complain: "I even have a generator, but I don't have air conditioning..."

Annan did have a spare air conditioner in his space, but he couldn't give it away.

After all, even a doomsday fan like Zhao Pingan wouldn't install several air conditioners at home.

She has to be cautious about anything that might reveal her identity.

Annan thought for a moment and suggested, "Many families have air conditioners. Look around the neighborhood and you'll find them easily."

Many people died during the Hong Xun period, leaving many houses vacant. You can move into any house and find air conditioning.

Chu Peipei was a little hesitant: "But, the temperature won't stay this high forever, right? Maybe it will cool down tomorrow."

Annan: "Everyone thinks the same as you, so air conditioners are not in great demand right now. But if the high temperature lasts for several months like in Hong Kong, it will be difficult to deal with."

In fact, the extreme heat lasted not just a few months, but for two full years.

Not to mention air conditioners, even an old electric fan would be fought over.

The most in-demand items during extreme heat waves include drinking water, refrigeration equipment, generators, and food.

Clothes are not important, there are many people running naked on the streets because it is so hot.

After listening to Annan's words, Chu Peipei pondered for a moment and felt that it made a lot of sense.

This temperature rise is not normal in the first place, just like the rainstorm four months ago, it was sudden and extreme. Maybe it will continue for a long time.

No matter how long it lasts, it never hurts to be prepared.

She said seriously, "I'll go around the neighborhood and find an air conditioner to install."

Annan reminded her: "Remember to bring your weapons."

After saying goodbye to Chu Peipei, he went upstairs to find Zhao Pingan.

The corridor was extremely hot and stuffy. Annan broke out in a thin layer of sweat after only a few steps. As soon as Zhao Pingan opened the door, a hint of cool air immediately emanated from inside.

It seems that his house also has air conditioning on.

When Zhao Ping'an came out, he was immediately attracted by the large plate of fragrant barbecue in Annan's hand.

"My idol, these skewers came at a perfect time! My mom was complaining about the bland soup I made for my noodles."

Annan smiled and said, "I just happened to be craving for barbecue today, so I thought I'd send some for you guys to try."

Zhao Pingan was moved at first: "Who knows! My idol has become my friend and even sends me delicious food!"

Then he looked at her face with concern and said, "My idol, the weather is so hot now. You are grilling skewers at home. Are you not suffering from heat stroke?"

Annan shook his head: "No."

"That's good!" Zhao Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The temperature rose too suddenly today. Fortunately, we all stayed at home, otherwise we would easily get sick."

Annan nodded: "It was very sudden, just like that rainstorm, it came with great force."

She intended to lead the story to the first natural disaster, so as to attract Zhao Ping'an's attention.

Sure enough, Zhao Pingan frowned and nodded:

"Yes, there must be something fishy going on. I suspect this doomsday catastrophe is not over at all. We all need to stay alert and be careful."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up:

"By the way, idol, have you made clothes out of the slash-proof fabric I gave you earlier? That fabric can also maintain a constant temperature. Remember to wear it to prevent heat stroke."

Annan nodded and was about to say something when he saw another figure sticking out from behind Zhao Ping'an.

"You are Annan, right?" Hu Cuilan looked at her with a smile:

"I always heard Ping An talk about his idol. When I was getting acupuncture treatment, Pepe always praised you. Today I finally got to see you in person! You are such a beautiful girl!"

Annan smiled politely: "Hello, Auntie."

Zhao Pingan: "Mom, you have met before, have you forgotten? It was in the elevator."

Hu Cuilan's expression changed and she slapped him on the head:

"You little bastard, you say one thing and then another. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Zhao Pingan felt the pain and said while hiding: "Oh, Mom! My idol is still here, please save some face for me!"

Then he explained to Annan: "I'm sorry, idol, my mom has bipolar disorder and she explodes at any time. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Annan didn't feel disgusted when he saw them fighting and making noises. Instead, he felt very warm.

Her home was lonely and deserted. If she hadn't been rich, she would have gradually lost her ability to speak.

If only her mother were still alive...

Her mother was not as outgoing as Hu Cuilan, she was an extremely elegant and gentle woman. But no matter how different their personalities were, the look mothers gave their children was always the same.

Whether it is praise or scolding, there is always love in his eyes.
