Chapter 170 A Rich Harvest
In the afternoon, there were still people coming in and out of the Dijin Hotel, but compared to the morning, there were much fewer people. It seemed that there would be no one left in the evening or night.
Around 8 o'clock in the evening, Xia Xiaoman and a few others went out, planning to move the supplies that they had hidden yesterday back to the villa.
As soon as I walked near the Dijin Hotel, I saw people walking towards the hotel one after another. They must be people who wanted to grab bargains at the hotel.
Su Ran said, "Should we go to the hotel and take a look? This morning, Brother Yang and I saw the soldiers moving a lot of supplies out of the hotel. Maybe there will be some missed basements waiting for us to pick up."
Xia Xiaoman was not interested. "You guys go ahead! I'll wait for you at the place where the supplies are hidden." When the army is dispatched, how could there be any supplies left out? It would be a wasted trip.
Li Yu'e and her friends did not have as many supplies as Xia Xiaoman, and they did not want to miss any opportunity to find supplies, so they all went to the Dijin Hotel.
About an hour later, Li Yu'e and her companions returned empty-handed, just as Xia Xiaoman had guessed.
Xiao Zheyu cursed, "This is too much, it's just like bandits entering the village, everything in the hotel was looted, even the hot water heating pipes installed on the wall were removed."
"The pots and pans in the kitchen and the quilts and mattresses in the guest rooms were all taken away. If the bricks on the wall were not difficult to remove, I would have doubted whether the people up there would have taken them all down and taken them away."
Li Yu'e patted his head and said, "If you can't speak, shut up. What do you mean by bandits entering the village? Is there a way to describe it like that?"
Xiao Zheyu reacted, realized he had said the wrong thing, and slapped himself twice.
Since there was no bargain to be found, Li Yu'e and a few others, along with Xia Xiaoman, moved the supplies they had obtained yesterday back home bit by bit. It was almost 12 o'clock in the evening when they finally moved all the supplies back to the villa.
The supplies Xia Xiaoman brought out were all relatively solid stuff, including military compressed biscuits that gave a strong sense of fullness, rice flour that was vacuum-packed, war reserve supplies of sugar and salt, and 15 kilograms of smoked ham.
In addition, she also took out some cigarettes and alcohol, which are hard currency.
As for other things, such as chocolate with liquor filling, cookies, nuts, puff pastry and other snacks and pastries, she did not take them out. These things took up space, were not very filling, and had a short shelf life. They were not suitable for Li Yu'e and the others, so she should keep them for herself to enjoy slowly!
After the supplies were distributed, the next morning, Xiao Zheyu stayed in the villa to look after the children, while the others helped Xia Xiaoman move the supplies allocated to her back to Shuiyue Bay.
Entering the sewer again, Xia Xiaoman quickly adapted to the stuffy and smelly air inside.
After moving the supplies to Xia Xiaoman's house, Li Yu'e and others did not stay, but left after dropping off the supplies.
…
After not going home for three days, after Li Yu'e and others left, Xia Xiaoman hurried to the basement to check on the rabbits and hens.
Before leaving home, she took out the diesel generator, connected it to an electric heater and placed it next to the rabbit coop and chicken coop to prevent the rabbits and chickens from freezing to death.
When he came to the basement, he saw that the rabbits and hens were in good condition, all of them were huddled together in the area where the electric heater could reach and were sleeping soundly. Xia Xiaoman reached into the chicken coop and felt around, and found 11 eggs, and one eggshell that had been pecked by the chicken.
After adding some dried locusts to the livestock, he lit the fireplace next to him, placed the rabbits and chickens next to the fireplace, and turned off the generator. Xia Xiaoman then returned to the living room, lit the kang, and sat on it to organize the supplies in the space.
The supplies she gave to Li Yu'e and others were just the tip of the iceberg in the two warehouses, and the bulk of them were all stored in her space.
In the arsenal, she was reluctant to take out some of the relatively few high-tech weapons. Now that she was home, she took out those high-tech weapons from the space to play with them. After having her hands on all the weapons, Xia Xiaoman carefully counted the supplies received from another warehouse.
The supplies in the other warehouse were varied, but all good stuff. Canned tuna, canned braised beef, canned spicy beef, canned dace with black bean sauce, canned braised pork, canned ham and luncheon meat... everything you could think of.
In addition to canned meat, there are also various bacon, smoked meat, beef jerky, pork jerky, etc. There are also many canned fruits and vegetables, including yellow peaches, sawberries, pineapples, apricots, hawthorns, loquats, as well as various dried fruits, dried vegetables, biscuits, nuts and various snacks.
Crazy Dragon Club's carefully selected snacks are different. Even the snacks are all snacks with clean ingredient lists. They are many times better than the snacks she received in the small supermarket.
Some biscuits, such as cookies, were beautifully packaged. I took out a box and opened it to take a look. Not a single biscuit was broken. I don't know how the people from the Crazy Dragon Society preserved them.
If those people had put their energy into salvaging and preserving these supplies, there would be no need for the citizens of Floating City to live in the sewers.
Having brought back so many supplies this time, Xia Xiaoman decided to reward herself.
She took out a small table from the space, put a gas stove on it and cooked a pot of hot pot. There was nothing in the hot pot except a pack of hot pot base and dried vegetables. There were six cans of meat next to the table. If you wanted to eat any meat, you could just pick it up and put it in the hot pot.
Canned meat itself has a salty taste. Soaking it in soup with hot pot base but no salt added before eating it will taste just right.
When the meat is almost finished, the vegetables in the soup have absorbed all the flavors of the meat, and the vegetables taste best at this time. At the end of the meal, when the soup is reduced, add another packet of wide noodles and pour all the remaining meat into the pot. It is a pot of braised beef and wide noodles.
After eating the spicy wide noodle pot, Xia Xiaoman felt sweat all over his body.
After eating and drinking, Xia Xiaoman sat on the kang to digest the food, then got up, picked up the snow-clearing tools and went to sweep the snow in the yard.
There was no heavy snow these days, only light snow. The snow accumulated in the yard was not much, and Xia Xiaoman cleaned up most of it in just one hour.
While clearing the snow under the ice wall, Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. If she remembered correctly, she had placed a mousetrap here before leaving home, but now the mousetrap was gone.
Xia Xiaoman frowned, squatted down, moved the searchlight above his head, shone it on the place where the mousetrap was placed, and gently swept away the layer of snow on top with his hand.
The surface snow was swept away, revealing a mass of blood-red ice debris underneath...
