Chapter 212: Prepare for the Worst Case
Qiu Man didn't have to stay at Shen Yanming's house, but...
After hearing this, Shen Yanming raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then my wife and I will go back to rest for a while, you can do whatever you want, if you feel sleepy..."
Chen Yanming originally wanted to sleep in the guest bedroom for a while, but then he thought, he had turned the bedroom into a flower room and a vegetable room, so where would he find a bed?
"There are no other beds in the house. You've been driving all night. Can you make do with the sofa?"
Qiu Man nodded, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry to bother you guys. I'll just lean on the sofa and take a nap!"
Although it was a sofa, Shen Yanming's sofa was wide and long, so it was no problem to sleep on it as a single bed. What's more, the young man was very caring and even gave him a small pillow and a thin summer quilt.
Qiu Man originally wanted to hold on until the afternoon and leave, but he had just finished his meal and received such thoughtful service, so he didn't make it difficult for himself. He took off his shoes, lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were ready to take a nap, but they couldn't fall asleep even when they lay in bed.
Although they knew that Qiu Man would not come in, they felt uncomfortable with the presence of a stranger in the house.
The two of them watched the news on their phones for a while, but because they got up too early and were a little bored, they soon felt sleepy.
So I turned off my phone, closed my eyes and went to sleep, forgetting all the discomfort I felt around strangers.
It was not until noon that the two of them got up from bed yawning. Shen Yanming went to the living room and saw Qiu Man sleeping soundly.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan did not wake up Qiu Man. They tiptoed to the vegetable room and picked a lot of fresh vegetables. Then they went to the storage room to get some dried fungus, dried mushrooms, tofu skewers, taro powder, and ham sausage.
When they got to the kitchen, they tried to move as quietly as possible. Bi Qiaoan soaked the dried goods first, and then washed the vegetables.
Shen Yanming used the gas stove to cook two pots of soup, which would save him some time when he was ready to eat.
They were busy in the kitchen for a long time, and because their movements were so gentle, they didn't disturb the person sleeping on the sofa at all. But when the water boiled and Shen Yanming put the seasoning into the pot, oh my god!
Qiu Man sniffed again and again to make sure he was not dreaming. He sat up suddenly and looked towards the kitchen following the smell.
The kitchen door was closed, but he was sure the young couple was cooking something delicious.
Qiu Man smiled. It turned out to be a good idea to stay!
When Shen Yanming opened the kitchen door and wanted to go to the storage room to get a bottle of fat boy water, he saw that Qiu Man had woken up.
"Awake? You can eat in a while!" Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Qiu Man sat for a while and his mind cleared up. "Well, the fragrance is too strong. It woke me up."
Shen Yanming nodded, turned back to the kitchen, poured the soup he cooked into the simmering pot, then moved the induction cooker and simmering pot to the coffee table in the living room, plugged them in and continued to cook the soup base.
Bi Qiaoan followed closely behind, placing the washed vegetables and seasonings on the coffee table and arranging them around the induction cooker.
The soup was already cooked in the kitchen, so it quickly started to boil after being poured into the simmering pot.
Shen Yanming opened the refrigerator door, took out a box of mutton rolls and a bag of frozen shrimp, and then went to the storage room to get a bottle of Fatty Water.
Shen Yanming poured some fat boy water for Bi Qiaoan and Qiu Man, "You're welcome, just help yourself with what you want to eat, there are still a lot of vegetables at home, if it's not enough, we can go to the vegetable room to pick them."
Qiu Man happily dipped the vegetables into the spicy hot pot. "Okay, I didn't expect to have hot pot in your house. I haven't had hot pot for a long time. It smells so good!"
"Isn't it easy to eat hotpot? It sounds troublesome to make some soup and cook some dishes, but it's actually simple. It's just that the base ingredients are not easy to buy now." Shen Yanming said.
Qiu Man shook his head and said, "You don't know, we usually eat in the cafeteria.
It’s different in the alliance than in other places because everyone is very busy and often works overtime, so the cafeteria provides hot meals 24 hours a day and almost no one brings meals from home to the company.
The most important thing is that although the food at work is average, it is enough to keep you full, so you can save some food for your family so that they can eat better. "
Bi Qiaoan was a little shocked after hearing this, "Is it so serious now? The family members of the Imperial Capital boss can't even eat?"
Qiu Man was amused by Bi Qiaoan, "It's not that I can't eat, I just can't eat to my heart's content.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the Qinghe Alliance took many measures to build secret bases across the country to grow food and vegetables.
However, none of us knows what the future holds, so everyone from top to bottom must be frugal. If the heavens really turn against us someday, we can still find a way to survive.”
Qiu Man said it lightly, but Bi Qiaoan felt heavy-hearted. Qiu Man saw that the girl exuded a depressed aura, and smiled and comforted her: "Is the hot pot not delicious? How can you let her down with sadness?
And what I said are all preparations for the worst-case scenario, but who can tell what will happen in the future?
Our Qinghua country is blessed, with the dream predictor in front and the ancestor of the Shen family in the back.
So, don't worry about it, just live your life as it is now, eat and drink as you should, and if anything happens, the alliance will support you!"
Bi Qiaoan was touched after hearing this, and felt his eyes a little sore, "Thank you, it's because of the alliance that we have the stable life we have now."
Qiu waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's only natural. Who put us in that position? If we enjoy the rights and glory, we must bear the responsibilities and obligations."
At this moment, all the uneasiness and hesitation in Bi Qiaoan's heart disappeared. With such a powerful country as her backing, she firmly believed that she and Shen Yanming could hold on to the end, and she believed that Qinghua Country would usher in light.
After lunch, Qiu Man wanted to go see the Shen family's land, but Shen Yanming said that the sun was too strong and he should go in the evening.
Qiu Man thought about it and it made sense, but it was really boring to stay at home. He didn’t know what to do if he didn’t have to work.
So, Shen Yanming played a movie, saying it was for him to relax.
In the evening, Shen Yanming and Qiu Man put on long-sleeved shirts and long pants, put on headscarves and masks, and went to Qingning Mountain.
Qiu Man knew before that Shen Yanming was very organized in his work, but he was still quite surprised to see the corn and sweet potatoes growing well in the fields, as well as the chickens and geese frolicking around.
"Because Qingning Mountain is high, we are not afraid of waterlogging. The two kinds of crops I plant are both drought-resistant, and one is above ground and the other is underground. If something goes wrong, we won't end up with nothing." Shen Yanming told Qiu Man the reason why he planted these two crops in the first place.
In fact, he was quite surprised that the Qinghe Alliance did not guide everyone on which crops to plant when the land was divided, so when Qiu Man visited today, Shen Yanming deliberately said this.
