Chapter 191 Aren’t you brother and sister?
After resolving the problem, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci continued to go downstairs.
The commotion here just now also attracted quite a few people, but when they saw the brutality of these two men, they were filled with fear and hurriedly made way for them.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't want to be stared at all the time, so she and Mu Ci left the community and found a more remote place to fish.
Mu Ci smashed a hole in the ice and threw the fishing net down.
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the thickness of the ice, frowned and said, "The ice is getting thinner and thinner."
It seems that I have to go back and tell Wang Jia and the others, and be careful when going out fishing again.
If you fall into an ice hole, it may not be easy to climb out.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci stayed here without moving for the whole day.
Because there are fewer and fewer fish recently, the two of them specially brought some bait when they went out this time.
The bait was made by Mu Ci himself, mixed with pumpkin, egg yolk, and a little flour.
Although food is precious now, it is still worthwhile to exchange that little bit of food for a large number of fish.
Looking at the fish flapping in the fishing net, Shi Jiaojiao smiled. It seems that this bait is really good.
She put all the fish she caught directly into the space, not worrying about having no place to put them.
However, a fish was also thrown into the visible bucket to deceive people.
Now that there is no one around, Shi Jiaojiao doesn't have to hide anything and can take out some food from the space from time to time.
Hot red bean milk tea, steamed dumplings still steaming from the pot, and spicy crispy pork.
They are all foods that can be eaten one by one.
So at the end of the day, not only were the two not hungry, they were even a little full.
Mu Ci looked at the crispy meat that was fed to his mouth, and ate it helplessly. After swallowing it, he said, "Eat less. It's too cold outside. Be careful not to get a stomachache when you go back."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded and finished the last sip of milk tea.
As it was getting dark, the two men stopped working, packed up their tools and prepared to go home.
As Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci just walked into the community, they found that many survivors were looking at them and Mu Ci.
She lowered her eyes, having anticipated this situation.
Human beings are creatures that are never troubled by scarcity but by inequality.
Even though these people saw the killing of Shi Tianjiao today, they knew that he was not easy to mess with.
But when they found out that the fish caught by all of them were not as many as those caught by just two of them, they felt sad.
When there are too many jealous people, trouble will come.
Mu Ci also knew how to cooperate and pretended to accidentally knock over the bucket, with only one fish falling out.
At this moment, the attention paid to the two of them suddenly decreased a lot.
I don’t know if it’s because the weather has gotten warmer or the number of people fishing has increased, but there are fewer fish under the ice these days.
In the past, when we didn’t have any tools, we could catch four or five a day. But now, no matter what we do, we can only catch one a day, and sometimes we can’t even catch one.
Today they all noticed these two people, not only because of their brutality, but also because of the equipment they were wearing.
Not only did they have buckets, they also had fishing nets.
If these two people catch too many, wouldn’t that take away their resources?
However, when they saw that there was only one fish in the bucket, they felt strangely balanced and no longer paid attention to the two people.
What’s the use of having good equipment?
Isn’t it the same as them, only catching one?
Many people even moved away from Shi Jiaojiao and the others.
These two people don't look like they are easy to deal with, and they only caught one fish. What if they turn around and snatch it from me?
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci returned home smoothly.
After arriving home, the two rested for a while, and then went into the space to start today's mission.
Dig a pond.
Both of them were quite strong, and Xiao Hei was also quite talented at digging the soil. After working for a while, the pond was finally completed.
But the pond cannot be dug and then re-dug; the bottom must be hardened.
Fortunately, Shi Jiaojiao still had a lot of cement and lime in her warehouse, and as for sand, she could dig some down from the mountain.
But today's five hours are about to end, and the hardening can only be continued the next day.
Taking advantage of the last bit of time, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci went into the bathroom and took a quick shower.
Before their hair could be dried, they were kicked out.
After waking up the next day, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci had breakfast and then went into the space to continue their work.
Spread the prepared cement, lime and sand into the pond and wait for it to dry slowly.
The outside temperature is now around minus 20 degrees Celsius. Although it has not continued to rise, the ice layer is getting thinner and thinner, and the number of fish under the ice is visibly decreasing.
Tang Wei and Wang Jia had already stored a lot of fish, and the ice surface was becoming increasingly unsafe, so the two simply closed the door and stopped going out.
Maybe it was because the brutality of Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci’s murder that day was too deeply rooted in people’s minds, so no one came to the 20th floor to cause trouble.
Taking advantage of this period of free time for everyone, Shi Jiaojiao could finally fulfill her promise to treat everyone.
For this dinner party, Shi Jiaojiao found a lot of seasonings from the warehouse.
The few items she picked up were all available on the shelves of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was just enough to improve the meals for Wang Jia and the other person without having to worry about being exposed.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei didn't have any good things at home, so they just gave a box of their treasured chocolates with wine fillings.
Shi Jiaojiao did not refuse.
As for friendship, it is necessary for there to be give and take in order for it to last.
The main person in charge of cooking this time was still Mu Ci, and Shi Jiaojiao and the other two gathered around to help.
Since we just caught a lot of fish, we decided to make a fish feast this time.
The dishes were served on the table one by one, with a large pot of boiled fish in the middle.
It contains vermicelli, soaked dried kelp, and dried honeydew.
Although the seasoning is not complete, it is so delicious that you can almost swallow your tongue.
The grilled fish next to it had a slightly charred skin, but the meat inside was extremely tender. Sprinkled with seasonings, Tang Wei's saliva was almost dripping.
In addition, there is a big pot of fish ball vermicelli soup.
All the fish balls are made from fresh fish, they are chewy, firm and extremely delicious. A sip of the soup will warm your whole body.
Finally, pair it with meat patties made from canned meat, brush it with a little bit of oil and fry it. It is so delicious that it will make you cry.
At the end of the meal, Wang Jia picked up the fish ball vermicelli soup and drank it instead of wine. "Our conditions are a little worse now, but I can't do without blessings. I hope you and Mu Ci can be safe and together for a long time."
Shi Jiaojiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she was married to Mu Ci.
Mu Ci had a smile on his face and accepted the blessing generously.
When Tang Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci in shock: "You...you are together?"
Aren't these two siblings? Why are they together?
Shi Jiaojiao felt a little helpless, and the slight embarrassment she had just felt disappeared in an instant.
She looked at Wang Jia: "You didn't tell him?"
Wang Jia laughed: "I just want to see when he will find out."
Even after the dinner was over, Tang Wei was still a little dazed.
But he is naive, not stupid. In the end, he even sang a love song specifically for Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Shi Jiaojiao and Wang Jia fell on the sofa laughing.
The song is a good song.
But Tang Wei had a rough voice, and he sang the love song so powerfully, as if he was about to join the party.
The atmosphere in the whole room was extremely joyful, forming a sharp contrast with the cold outside world.
Although all the windows in the house were closed, the smell inevitably escaped a little.
Fortunately, most of these people are not native residents of Tiantai Community and do not know where the fragrance comes from.
Besides, everyone had fish in their hands, so nothing happened.
At night, it was pitch black outside.
Shi Jiaojiao was sleeping soundly in Mu Ci's arms, when suddenly several shrill screams were heard from outside.
This shout woke the two of them up from their sleep.
