◎Happy 25th day: The blasting genius reserves cooked food◎
The fertilized eggs sent by the farm have hatched!
Jiang Muyun cheered.
According to the farm manager, after the eggs are placed in the incubator, there is nothing else to worry about as long as the power is not turned off.
Jiang Muyun opened the incubator as instructed by the person in charge, and never took care of them again. After more than ten days, he really forgot about the two little guys.
I don’t know how many hours these two little guys have been born, but now they are two furry little balls.
After Jiang Muyun approached, the two little guys tilted their heads, suddenly shook off their little wings, and staggered to try to crawl out of the eggshell.
Jiang Muyun looked around and didn't see any suitable box, so he simply took out a large lunch box from the space. Just as he was about to open the lid of the incubator, he thought it was not appropriate.
She put down the plastic box in her hand, went to the room and turned on the air conditioner and electric heater, then found an old mattress. After a lot of trouble, she finally made a warm nest for the two little guys.
This is her future food reserve, the kind that can be sustainably grown if well cared for. She can't let them freeze to death inexplicably.
The two little chicks couldn't walk yet. After coming out of the warm incubator, they stayed in their new home for a while before they came to their senses and began to patrol their territory, falling three times with each step.
Jiang Muyun was curious and took out his mobile phone to take two photos and sent them to the group, which successfully attracted a lot of people.
[ZJH doesn't want to sleep anymore: Oh, dinner ingredients?]
[Dabin: What a beast! It's still so young. Let's raise it a little longer. It's too young to be fleshy.]
[An: Why did you think of raising chickens?]
Jiang Muyun ignored the first two who were going crazy.
Xiaobai is going to Xida University tomorrow: When I was buying eggs, I saw the shopkeeper had chicks. They were so cute, I couldn't resist and bought one.
[Xiao Bin: How can you still survive in this weather?]
Xiaobai is going to Xida tomorrow: ...I bought fertilized eggs and an incubator to hatch them. Even if I could buy ready-made chicks in this weather, they wouldn't be able to come home with me.
Xiaobai is going to Xida University tomorrow: It's been a while since I bought them, and I almost forgot about them. If Xiaobai hadn't dragged me to see them today, I wouldn't have even remembered.
[ZJH doesn't want to sleep anymore: Come to think of it, it's not a bad idea to let these two kids call Xiaobai their godmother.]
[Dabin: Xiaobai is the godmother, then what is Jiang Muyun? ]
[Xiao Bin: A stepfather, he must be a lecherous old scoundrel who's the mother of the older children, the kind who uses these two brats to threaten the young beauty into marrying him. Look how little she cares about the two children.]
Xiaobin: @Xiaobai is going to Xida tomorrow. Let me tell you, your Xiaobai is truly a genius. When are you sending her to take the college entrance exam? As a stepfather, don't ruin your child's future.
Jiang Muyun:?
Not to mention that Xiaobai has to take the college entrance examination when she is not even one year old. It would be fine if she was lustful, but why must she be a man and an old gangster at that?
Jiang Muyun was typing away trying to clear his name, but halfway through he had to put his phone down in anger.
Because Qin Shiwen was already knocking on the door.
Jiang Muyun usually keeps the house very tidy. He never leaves things that shouldn't be there. The water tank that shouldn't be seen by anyone is in the old man's room, and the rice cookers are in the kitchen.
Qin Shiwen was not the kind of person who would hang around in other people's homes. Jiang Muyun reached out and touched the old man's bedroom door and kitchen door to make sure they were really closed and would not pop open inexplicably, and then opened the door for Qin Shiwen.
As soon as she opened the door and made way, Qin Shiwen came in, rubbing his hands: "Where are the cubs? Where are those two little cubs? A male or a female?"
Jiang Muyun rolled his eyes at her: "How would I know? It's just been born and I haven't seen it yet."
The child's aunt was not shy at all. She looked through the child's private parts and then said in surprise: "Wow, a male and a female. Good boy, you will become rich soon."
Jiang Muyun cheered in his heart again. This was great. If he could raise these two little ones well, he wouldn't have to worry about the source of protein in the future.
Jiang Muyun and Qin Shiwen squatted there and poked the fluffy little chicks for a long time, then took out their phones to look up a bunch of chick-raising guides.
As he was checking, Qin Shiwen suddenly sighed and stroked the two cubs' heads lovingly: "Cubs, it would be great if you just ate and didn't grow. Without this fur, all I have left when I see you is my appetite."
Jiang Muyun said calmly, "Dream on! How could I possibly raise them to the point where they'd pique your appetite? You're responsible for cleaning up their poop, right? When the weather warms up, I'll send them back to the boss to trade for eggs."
Qin Shiwen looked dissatisfied: "You have two cute little pups right in front of you, why are you thinking about your two eggs? These home-raised free-range chickens would be so delicious if stewed."
Jiang Muyun looked at Qin Shiwen with a look that was hard to describe: "You really love these two children."
After Qin Shiwen had enough of looking at the two younger ones, he also did not forget to chat with the older one, Xiaobai.
Qin Shiwen said lovingly while snoring at Xiaobai, "As parents, we have to treat everyone equally. Even if you like those round and fluffy little things, you can't ignore the feelings of the eldest child."
Jiang Muyun rescued Xiaobai from the hypocritical adults and held him in his arms: "Remove the word 'we'. I only like our Xiaobai. Don't slander his innocence out of thin air."
Xiaobai was held in Jiang Muyun's arms. He rubbed his head against her happily and responded with two sweet sounds.
In the end, Qin Shiwu prepared dinner at home, but he waited and waited but no one came back. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and knocked on Jiang Muyun's door, and dragged Qin Shiwen back.
Jiang Muyun had previously told Qin Shiwen that she wanted to send the two chicks away, but of course that was just nonsense.
She also hoped that the two little guys would bring her a clear way to make money when they grew up.
It’s just that the temperature is too low now. These two little guys are so small now that it’s no problem to keep them in the bedroom, but if it’s another month, it’s hard to say.
Jiang Muyun looked up information for a long time, and finally he could only keep the two cubs in an air-conditioned room with a temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius, and reduce the light moderately so that the two cubs would grow slower.
And considering that she might have to go to a rescue center later, it would be better for her to get another cage.
You also need an outdoor shower tent, or a small children's tent.
If we really need to take them to a rescue center, we can make their home in that small tent.
It’s not that Jiang Muyun was afraid that the odor on animals would affect other people - if the course of disasters in this life didn’t change much, then by the time she had to go to the rescue site, the smell on humans would definitely be much stronger than that on animals.
Jiang Muyun was mainly afraid that these two living, edible creatures would be right under people's noses every day, and they would be caught and put into the pot if they were not careful.
Jiang Muyun was thinking about the two little ones, so he took out a portion of braised chicken from the space to go with his meal at noon.
After eating and drinking, she saw that it was still early, so she took the opportunity to go out and buy some things.
The temperature is now the highest in the day. If there are any shops open, they are basically open during this time.
Jiang Muyun went to several outdoor gear stores but they were all closed. Finally, he had no choice but to go to a large shopping mall in Nanshi, where he found an outdoor gear store that was open.
Unfortunately, stores in places like this are never cheap. After asking about the price, Jiang Muyun decisively chose to go to the children's products area next door and buy a children's tent.
It's more like a tent-shaped toy than a tent. It doesn't block wind or rain and can only be used indoors. The color is khaki. When the two little fur balls grow up, they should be a good match for this tent.
As for the cage, Jiang Muyun bought a birdcage according to the size of the tent.
The bottom of the cage is hollow and has a pull-out tray. You can solve the cleaning problem by simply putting a piece of paper in the tray.
On the way back, Jiang Muyun deliberately took a detour and walked around Sitong Street.
Sitong Street lives up to its name, offering easy access in all directions and countless alleyways. Both sides of the main road are lined with electric vehicle vendors, ranging from brand name stores to private dealerships.
This street can be said to be deserted now. Only a few car dealerships of big brands are still open. The cars have been moved into the shops, and only a few empty shell samples are displayed outside.
The store door was open as usual, and the warm air from the air conditioner was emitting outwards in balls. Jiang Muyun could even see the store clerks rubbing their hands around the little sun.
Even with this temperature, we still have to go to work as usual, and we are not even allowed to close the store door. I don’t know whether I should be thankful that I have saved my job or denounce the unscrupulous boss for exploiting his employees.
Jiang Muyun rode her bike past quickly. No one noticed that there was such a person outside, nor did anyone notice that she turned into the back alley and walked around again before leaving.
When they arrived at the community, Jiang Muyun pushed the cart into the elevator as usual, and happened to meet the little girl Tangtang, who was wrapped like a ball, and her parents.
They were carrying shopping bags, and there were two buckets of purified water at Tangtang's father's feet. It was obvious that they had just returned from the supermarket.
Tangtang's mother smiled when she saw the bird cage tied to Jiang Muyun's car: "Did you buy this cage from the shop at the edge of the flower and bird market?"
Jiang Muyun was surprised: "You can see that?"
Tangtang's father reached out and pushed his glasses: "Because I have a cage like this at home, and I bought it for my daughter to raise chicks."
Tangtang's mother said, "It was the chick that Tangtang was asked to observe at school that hatched. Later, Tangtang couldn't bear to send the chick away, so her father and I had no choice but to buy a cage to keep it. His family was the only one on the whole street that had a suitable cage."
Little girl Tangtang still remembered Jiang Muyun. When she heard that Jiang Muyun had also bought a cage for raising chicks, the little girl's eyes lit up instantly: "Sister, do you have Jiujiu at home? Sister likes Jiujiu. Does Xiaobai like Jiujiu too?"
Jiang Muyun said seriously, "Jiujiu is so cute, how could Xiaobai not like Jiujiu?"
Tangtang was overjoyed: "Then when the weather gets warmer, I'll bring Jiujiu out to meet Xiaobai, okay?"
Jiang Muyun squatted down and held out her pinky finger: "Then Tangtang must take good care of Jiujiu. When it's warm, bring him over to play with Xiaobai. Sister will make a pinky promise for Xiaobai and Tangtang."
Upon hearing this, Tangtang's face tightened and she put on a serious expression: "Okay, then Tangtang will also sign the pinky promise for Jiujiu. Tangtang will definitely take good care of Jiujiu."
The two of them made a pinky promise, and little girl Tangtang broke the promise instantly. She was so excited as if she had accomplished something great. She held her father and mother's hands and kept repeating the "Chiu Chiu" feeding rules.
Jiang Muyun smiled as he watched Tangtang acting coquettishly with her parents, hoping that little girl Tangtang could really raise her Jiujiu.
After arriving home, Jiang Muyun checked the condition of the two cubs and changed their nest.
After seeing that the two chicks had adapted well to the new nest, Jiang Muyun followed the instructions in the tutorial and soaked some corn paste in water and put it in the food box to feed the two chicks.
After taking care of the chicks, Jiang Muyun went to check the water tank.
The temperature now has not reached its lowest point, and her water tank is too large. Even after a day and a night, the center part still cannot freeze solid.
By this calculation, it will take 24 hours or even longer for each ice cube to freeze before the second drop in temperature comes.
Jiang Muyun thought about it, put away the current batch of ice cubes, and replaced them with a batch of drinking water.
Of course, the ice cubes used for cooling off in the summer should be as solid as possible. The current temperature still freezes too slowly.
But drinking water does not need to be frozen.
On the contrary, if the drinking water is frozen too solid, it may not be convenient to use in the summer.
According to her experience in freezing domestic water, the current temperature, if frozen for a whole day, is the best condition for making iced drinks in summer.
After Jiang Muyun filled the room with large water tanks, he found a shelf in the space and filled it with small plastic bowls, seasoning boxes and plastic bottles.
She planned to use these things to freeze some small ice cubes, which would be more convenient to use in the future.
These small ice cubes can usually be frozen firmly in just a few hours. Jiang Muyun only needs to collect and replace the containers according to the time of three meals a day, before going to bed, and after waking up.
After dealing with these things, Jiang Muyun took a look at the thermometer she had hung from the living room to the room.
Twenty-six degrees below zero.
This temperature is nothing compared to the low temperatures of the past few days.
What surprised Jiang Muyun was the time.
It's only a little after three in the afternoon. Although there's no sun outside, it shouldn't be minus twenty-six degrees Celsius.
This is the temperature we only experienced two nights ago.
Is the second temperature drop coming?
The second major temperature drop in my previous life occurred about ten days after the first temperature drop, which should be a few days away from now.
But with the first temperature drop occurring early, Jiang Muyun no longer dared to blindly believe in his past life's experiences.
Jiang Muyun took out his cell phone and checked the real-time temperature provided by the weather forecast, which was minus 22 degrees Celsius.
She frowned slightly, took off the thermometer, put it on the balcony, then closed the balcony door and opened the window.
The low temperature measured in the room may be due to high humidity. It is safer to test it again on the balcony.
Half an hour later, the balcony door was opened a little. Jiang Muyun stretched out his arm, took off the thermometer with precise movements, then retracted his hand and quickly closed the door.
Well, it’s minus twenty-eight degrees Celsius, the temperature is even lower.
Jiang Muyun hung the thermometer back in the room and put his hands in his pockets to keep them warm.
As she said before, the weather was indeed getting colder, and it was not her illusion.
This kind of thermometer that can measure dozens of degrees below zero is not common. Jiang Muyun did not have it in his previous life, and it is estimated that ordinary citizens of Nanshi now rarely have it.
Without the help of instruments, such temperature changes within ten degrees are indeed difficult to detect.
As for the real-time temperature on the weather forecast, there may be a delay or some other reason, who knows.
Perhaps Lan Xing's temper has been off in recent years, so weather forecasts have been hard to pinpoint. It's not uncommon for forecasts to predict heavy snow for three consecutive days, only to see two snowflakes fall.
It is even more difficult to say what the climate will be like after the end of the world.
Jiang Muyun thought about it and decided to keep the air conditioners in the study and her bedroom on all the time, leaving the doors open. If no one else was coming home, the bathroom and kitchen doors could also be left open.
When she goes to bed at night, she can put a few extra humidifiers next to her bed and turn on the electric blanket all night.
Jiang Muyun has dry skin. In the past few days since the temperature dropped, she has to apply body lotion every morning and evening, and she never leaves her lipstick, otherwise her lips will crack if she is not careful.
Now she is prepared to keep the air conditioner on 24 hours a day, and even turns on the electric blanket when she goes to bed at night to protect her life. If the humidity in the room is not enough, she will probably have to face the scene of her own shedding when she wakes up the next day.
When you have the conditions to live a better life, it is better not to make yourself so miserable.
In addition to the humidity problem, Jiang Muyun also has to consider the voltage problem at home.
Originally, Jiang Muyun only turned on one air conditioner, rarely turned on the electric heater, and she also turned off appliances such as the refrigerator.
In this case, it is certainly no problem for her to use a dozen rice cookers at a time.
But now, to prevent a sudden drop in temperature, she has to keep two air conditioners on at home. For the sake of her pets, she probably also has to keep an electric heater on in the living room.
With this calculation, if more than ten high-pressure rice cookers are used together every day, the circuit in the house may not be able to withstand it at any time.
If there is a power outage at this time, she can survive it with all her equipment, but the three little ones at home may not be able to do so, especially the two little chicks.
Even if the power is out for just two hours, they may turn directly into food.
If she wants to give birth to another pair of chicks, it will be difficult to explain.
To be on the safe side, reduce the use of electrical appliances.
Jiang Muyun counted the rice in his space.
Not to mention anything else, the boss prepared rice for the workers' meals she ordered in Xishi during those two days according to the standard of 100 servings.
The next few orders, including takeout, were either given as gifts or she bought extra rice to fill the order, constantly replenishing the stock.
Taking into account her previous bulk orders and the accumulation during this period, the cooked rice currently in her space is enough for her to eat for a whole year.
Since there is enough food for now, let’s stop steaming the rice for now.
Jiang Muyun roughly calculated the voltage at home. If she only used a high-voltage rice cooker these days, it should be able to hold up.
I have a pressure cooker, the natural gas supply at home is normal, and I have some free time during this period, so I can start stockpiling ready-made dishes.
Jiang Muyun’s cooking skills are actually not that good.
When I was at home, my grandfather was the one who cooked.
Then the old man passed away, and that was the end of the world.
Jiang Muyun's current cooking skills are probably only at the stage of being able to cook food.
But it doesn’t matter. The internet is still connected and you can search on major platforms and find plenty of lazy recipes and clumsy recipes.
It just so happened that she had a pressure cooker that could be used to stew all kinds of meat. All she had to do was blanch the meat and add seasonings according to the recipe, and the machine could take care of the rest.
And she thought that since she could feed herself for ten years, she was at least not a kitchen killer. She should have no problem making a simple dish like stir-fried potatoes, right?
There are plenty of potatoes in her space, and they are easy to grow. Jiang Muyun even saved some soil, so she felt the least sorry about practicing with potatoes.
Of course, there is a limit to this feeling of not feeling sorry.
At least after Jiang Muyun ruined seven or eight games in a row, she felt that her patience with herself had reached its limit.
First of all, the smell of vinegar couldn't be completely removed, and even she, who could tolerate sour things, found it choking.
Food cooked according to hot and sour recipes tastes bitter, while food cooked according to sweet and sour recipes is not only greasy but also always sticks to the pan.
After struggling with the kitchen scale several times, Jiang Muyun simply simplified the steps and tried just adding salt.
Then they fried a plate of squishy and soft potato noodles. In terms of taste and texture, it would be better if they had just boiled them in water or grilled them over charcoal and then added salt.
Jiang Muyun was very puzzled by this.
She clearly followed every step in the recipe!
Because the previous "appropriate amount" and "half a spoonful" recipes did not work, she also looked for recipes with specific grams marked, and strictly reduced the seasonings in proportion to the amount of ingredients, but the taste was just not right!
After the failed experience of frying potatoes, Jiang Muyun was extra cautious when tasting the stewed meat.
Fortunately, the stew tasted normal.
Although it is not very delicious, it can at least be said to be ordinary and is at the level of home cooking.
Jiang Muyun breathed a sigh of relief.
If this pot of meat was wasted, she would be so heartbroken that she would not be able to sleep tonight.
Having learned his lesson, Jiang Muyun no longer made things difficult for himself.
The pressure cooker is used to stew meat, and the gas stove is used to make soup.
Similarly, after blanching, just throw the ingredients into the pot. Making soup also requires much less ingredients than stewing meat.
Fewer steps means less opportunity for her to make mistakes.
There was no reason why she could stew meat normally but couldn't make a normal tasting soup.
Out of respect for the stove, Jiang Muyun picked out the smallest bone from the space when she tried to make soup for the first time.
If making soup doesn't work, then she can only choose to boil more water and store the hot water in the space.
Jiang Muyun prepared for the worst and blanched the food according to the video tutorial, added onions and ginger, and added salt cautiously in small amounts.
Fortunately, she just has no talent in cooking, not to the extent of blowing up the kitchen, and the soup can still taste normal.
After passing the pork rib soup level, she found a skinny crucian carp from the space and prepared to challenge a higher level of difficulty.
Still following the same series of tutorials, stuff the scallions and ginger into the fish belly, then pour oil into the pot and turn on high heat.
Jiang Muyun held the pot lid in one hand and the fish tail in the other, silently counting down to three, two, one in his heart.
Throw the fish into the pot, cover it, and turn off the heat, all in one smooth motion.
Listening to the crackling sound in the pot, Jiang Muyun, who was holding the lid tightly with his hands, felt a sense of security.
Throw the fish into the hot oil and quickly cover the lid and turn off the heat to allow the residual heat of the hot oil to heat the fish. Wait until all the movement in the pot stops, then turn the fish over, cover the lid and turn on the heat again. When there is a loud movement in the pot, turn off the heat and let the residual heat heat it.
Finally, wait until everything is calm, pour hot water into the pot, turn on the fire, add salt and cook for half an hour, and the fish soup is ready.
It's indeed a method that even the legendary blasting genius can learn.
It seems that this blogger is indeed not a clickbait title, I’m following him!
Jiang Muyun decided that she would study the tutorials released by this blogger carefully and download and save every video of the blogger so that she could have more cooked food reserves in her space.
The fuel reserves in her space are not yet enough for her to use freely in the future.
While there is still natural gas supply, every extra dish you cook means you save more fuel in the future.
Also, the gas stove at home has two burners. I use one burner to make soup, and I can’t waste the other one, so I boil water there as well.
