Chapter 77: In the end times, quality is useless
"Shen Que, Shen Que."
When Meng Ci woke up, it was already past three in the afternoon.
I don’t know how serious my cold is. What if the high fever doesn’t go away and I faint?
So Meng Ci took the intercom and started shouting.
"Well, what's wrong?"
Fortunately, a deep and accurate voice soon came from the intercom.
"It's okay, I just want to see if you're awake." Meng Ci thought to himself, it's impossible that he was just checking to see if he was dead or not.
"The pickled cabbage that Teacher Mao taught me to make a few days ago is now ready to eat, so I plan to make pickled fish. Do you want to come over and eat with me?"
"Okay." Shen Que agreed.
The weather has been getting colder these days, and Meng Ci decided that he couldn't let himself suffer any longer.
So he moved the coffee table in the living room away, and Meng Ci took out a stove from the space. After assembling it, he started a fire.
The rabbits were also placed next to the stove. Several little rabbits have already opened their eyes and will probably be able to run out in a few days.
Originally, Meng Ci planned to sleep in the living room at night and keep the stove burning all day.
But I was afraid that I would be poisoned by gas in the middle of the night, so I had to give up the idea.
So after Meng Ci got up, he first lit the stove with firewood, and then took out a fish from the bucket that had been replaced with the fish and put it on the stove.
After feeding the rabbits, the firewood was already burning. Meng Ci put two pieces of coal in it and then began to process the fish.
The rice was cooked on the gas in the kitchen.
Not wanting to bother making other dishes, Meng Ci picked a lot of greens from the flowerpot and made a cold dish.
While the fish was cooking on the stove, there was a knock on the door, Meng Ci opened it and saw Shen Que with a bag in his hand.
Handing the plastic bag to Meng Ci, Shen Que explained: "I have some mung beans, so I used some water a few days ago to make bean sprouts. See if you can use them."
"good."
Taking the bean sprouts, Meng Ci boiled some hot water, boiled the bean sprouts, and then put them in a basin. After the fish was cooked, he poured it directly into the basin.
The delicious boiled fish was ready, and the two of them started eating it over the stove.
After eating, Shen Que left and Meng Ci began to deal with the fish in the bucket.
There were thirty fish in total. Meng Ci planned to salt twenty of them, tie them with ropes, and give ten to Chen Que.
Later you can tie a stick to the balcony and hang the fish up to dry.
There were still ten fish. Meng Ci only cleaned the scales and internal organs and put them in the refrigerator.
In a dozen days or so, a blizzard will come. We won’t need to use the refrigerator and we don’t have to worry about the fish going bad.
As for the fish that he had caught outside before, Meng Ci also marinated them with salt, air-dried them, and placed them in the space.
If you need something in the future, you can exchange it with others.
At night, two people went to the hotel and brought back the remaining things.
Because there was still half pork in the food, he called Shen Que to his home in the next few days to start processing the pork.
Cut half of the meat into strips weighing about five pounds.
Turn on the heat and heat the salt, then pour in star anise, pepper and other spices, stir-fry on low heat for one minute, serve and set aside.
First, apply some white wine on both sides of the meat strips, then apply the fried salt evenly, and finally apply the sauce mixed with light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.
Put the marinated meat strips into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, turn them over after a few hours, and marinate for about three days, then hang them to air dry.
The remaining half of the pork weighs fifty kilograms.
Meng Ci cut ten pounds and gave them to Yun Jingcen and the others.
Now the two parties are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so there will be no harm in improving the relationship.
What's more, Mao Xinyu and his friends are knowledgeable and taught Meng Ci and Shen Que many ways of growing vegetables.
Moreover, the things that Yun Jingcen and the others find will also be shared with Meng Ci and the others.
Of the remaining 40 kilograms of meat, Meng Ci kept 20 kilograms, cut it into small pieces, and packed them in bags so that he could stir-fry them and eat them on weekdays.
Meng Ci directly boiled a pot of ingredients for the remaining meat and cooked the meat stew, making it easier to eat.
Of course, all the meat was divided equally with Shen Que.
However, Shen Que gave some more meat to Meng Ci, "My cooking is not good, it would be a waste if you take the food."
"Put the meat here with you. When you're done, call me over to eat."
Of course Meng Ci was happy to do so. Wouldn’t this increase the chances of the two of them interacting?
In the next few days, Meng Ci planted vegetables, fed rabbits, and occasionally ate Chen Que's tofu during sparring.
The little rabbit felt that it was warm outside, so sometimes he would run out for a spin and run around in the house.
However, the rabbit was too small, and Meng Ci was worried that he would step on it to death before it grew up.
So Meng Ci took some cardboard boxes and surrounded the rabbit cage with them.
In this way, the little rabbit has space to move around and doesn't have to worry about being stepped on to death.
When life is good, it is easy to become lazy.
Because he was afraid of the cold, Meng Ci's activities were greatly reduced except for sparring with Shen Que.
Sometimes it’s enough to just have a meal and then pop into the space for a snack.
That morning, just after nine o'clock, Meng Ci, who was still sleeping in bed, suddenly heard the shouting of residents outside.
"Ah! The rain finally stopped, woo woo woo..."
"These inhuman days are finally over!"
…
Meng Ci took the phone and looked at it. It was December 18th.
The heavy rain stopped that day and people cheered, thinking that the heavy rain was over and hope had come.
But I didn't know that acid rain would come tomorrow.
The cessation of heavy rain is not the end, but the beginning.
It was still early and there was nothing to do, so Meng Ci continued to curl up in the quilt, planning to take a nap.
It was eleven o'clock before Meng Ci climbed out of bed.
The end of the world is good. As long as you stock up enough food, you can live a lazy life and sleep as late as you want.
After getting up, Meng Ci heated the stove, took out a portion of crayfish, a bowl of hot rice, and a portion of cold cucumber from the space, turned on the tablet, and found a TV series to watch.
After eating, Meng Ci put these things in a plastic bag, along with some other garbage, opened the balcony window, and threw the things directly out.
After the heavy rain, people initially piled up garbage at home, and when the garbage became smelly, they threw it into the corridor.
Gradually, the garbage in the corridor began to hinder people's travel, and after the stench began to be unbearable, people began to throw the garbage out of the windows.
Of course, there is another very important reason why these garbages smell so bad.
After the tap water stopped, the sewer in the house began to clog, and the toilets were blocked floor by floor all the way to the 17th floor.
Therefore, many residents will defecate and pee at home and then put them into plastic bags, which naturally stink.
Even if you take the garbage downstairs, it will be thrown into the water and carried away by the flood. So why bother climbing up and down and wasting energy?
What's more, it's the end of the world now, and quality can't be used to make a living.
