Chapter 345 It’s time to crave meat
As long as you have tools, you can use bricks to knock things down anywhere, after all, collapsed houses can be seen everywhere.
Sand is also easy to find.
The entire Jiangcheng has been soaked in sea water for so long that the ground is filled with sand if you shovel it.
Make a sieve, filter out the impurities, and then you can use it to mix cement.
So the main issue is still cement.
There is a lot of cement in Han Ying's space, but she can't take it out for the time being.
After all, Jiangcheng had been soaked in water for so long and no one had taken it under control.
Cement, on the other hand, becomes hardened easily when it comes into contact with water, so they really couldn't figure out where to find cement.
"So are we going to continue collecting firewood tomorrow?"
Although her mother-in-law and husband told her not to ask so many questions and just follow everyone's pace, Wu Tingfang still asked out of curiosity.
"Yes, the people transferred from Pengcheng Base should be arriving soon. If we don't collect more now, when there are more people, we may have to compete with others."
It took them almost half a month to reach Jiangcheng.
However, the road has been smoothed out along the way, and the first batch of people transferred to the base should not be too small.
Maybe armored vehicles will be used to lead the way at that time.
Moreover, if there are too many people, even if they can't get through, the speed of clearing a path is unknown to them.
So Han Ying guessed that it might arrive in the next few days.
"In that case, let's go there early tomorrow. Half of us will collect firewood, and the other half will collect bricks and sand, right?"
Lei Minghu can now walk without a cane.
As long as the leg is no longer injured and you don't exert too much force, there will be no problem if you just walk normally.
So he was able to participate in all the operations in the past few days except for moving things back and forth.
"There's no rush for the bricks. Let's focus on collecting firewood for two more days, and then we'll start doing what Brother Lei said."
They had just collected firewood for a day, and although it filled an entire room, he and Han Ying had not survived the entire extreme cold, so they had no idea how long it would last.
There are so many people here, and the firewood won’t burn for long.
The reason why he brought up the matter of collecting bricks now was just to get everyone to pay more attention, remember the location, and start collecting in two days.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lei Minghu looked at him calmly.
When they were at Pengcheng Base, Lu Yuan and Han Ying started building the wall as soon as they arrived at the base.
Now that you're here, you're not in a hurry?
It is impossible not to be urgent, so there is only one reason, that is, stockpiling firewood is more urgent than building a wall.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan are close to the top management of the base. Lei Minghu wondered if they had heard some news from the base?
Is that why you are so eager to stock up on firewood?
As if he had thought of something, Lei Minghu's face turned very ugly.
He sat up straight and immediately said, "How about we take advantage of the time now to collect the broken furniture upstairs?"
When he went downstairs with Qin Qinghai and others to collect supplies in the morning, he saw a lot of broken furniture in every household.
There are more than a dozen floors. If all the garbage were collected, it would be enough to burn for a long time.
After hearing Lei Minghu's proposal, Qin Qinghai and Lin Ting also looked at him.
Why did they feel that Lei Minghu suddenly seemed more anxious to collect firewood than Han Ying and the others?
Although I was a little confused, I didn't ask too many questions. After all, it was the right thing to follow the main group.
"Okay, but let's eat first."
Han Ying saw that He Xiu had already prepared the meal, so she stood up and went over to help bring it over.
Everyone has been in Jiangcheng for quite a few days and has recovered a lot. Now is the time to crave meat.
So He Xiu took out a large piece of beef from the refrigerator and made two meat dishes, beef stewed with potatoes and beef soup with dried radish.
Here are a few other stir-fried dishes made from dried vegetables.
In the end times, this is already a very sumptuous meal.
He Xiu deliberately did not reduce the juice of the beef stew with potatoes, leaving a lot of soup.
However, even if the juice is not reduced, the soup is still very thick because the potatoes are stewed until soft.
Just pour the soup into the rice and you can finish a whole bowl of rice.
Before eating, Han Ying took out two disposable lunch boxes.
I put two large bowls of rice in it, added a large spoonful of stewed beef with potatoes and two side dishes, poured some soup on it, and put it aside.
Seeing Han Ying's actions, no one else said anything because they all knew the purpose of Han Ying's actions.
In the past few days, everyone brought their own food upstairs to eat, but today they came back early and ate in the car.
But they just checked and the two soldiers haven't returned yet.
There is not much time left until dawn, I think he should be back soon.
Sure enough, when they were halfway through their meal, they saw two soldiers outside the RV dragging their tired bodies back.
They also had a bag of things on their backs, which must have been supplies collected while patrolling.
When they came back, they saw the RV was already parked there and the two soldiers were surprised.
Because these days, the RV always came back later than them, they didn’t expect it to come back so early today.
The meal was just cooked a short while ago and they haven't finished eating yet, so there is no need to heat it up again.
Han Ying took the two meals and put them into the bag, then carried them down from the RV.
"Captain Xiao Ye, Captain Xiao Zhao, you haven't eaten yet, right? We are eating too. I made a little extra. If you don't mind?"
Han Ying said this as she handed over the bag containing two meals.
"No, no, we brought our own food, and we walked quite far today and found a lot of things."
Ye Wei put down the bag on his shoulder and waved at Han Ying.
"It's true. We have food."
As Zhao Lei spoke, he opened the bag on the ground and took out two boxes of biscuits from tin cans.
"Then I'll trade these two boxes of rice for a box of biscuits. The rice has been ready for about ten minutes. You need to eat it as soon as possible, otherwise you'll have to heat it up again later."
Han Ying stuffed the bag into Zhao Lei's hand, and then took the box of biscuits from him.
"How can one box be enough? There are still..."
As Zhao Wei spoke, he reached into the bag and took out another box of the same cookies.
However, when he handed over the biscuits, he found that Han Ying had already got on the RV.
The two soldiers knew very well that this group of people were taking care of them because they saw that they were having a hard time.
But they do have food of their own, so how can they take advantage of others?
Zhao Lei took the box of biscuits and two canned dog foods he had just found from the bag and placed them at the door of the building where Han Ying and her family lived.
They have a big dog, and this dog food can should come in handy.
After putting their things away, Ye Wei and Zhao Lei carried their things back to their residence.
