Chapter 031 The last plan before the end of the world
There are two types of milk lumps, the soft ones are cheese and the dry ones are milk lumps. The cooking methods are similar, both need to be simmered slowly over low heat.
Today, Jingshu finally doesn't have to wash and chop anymore. Instead, she can quietly be a handsome man and make milk lumps. In the apocalypse, dry milk lumps can be held in your hands at any time. In addition to licking them like lollipops, you can also chew them slowly. They are extremely durable and are simply the most nutritious dry food currently available.
However, before making the milk lumps, Jingnai first made 10 2L sealed cans of milk skin, boiled the milk on low heat, and stirred it constantly to evaporate the water slowly, concentrating the milk and condensing it into a round yellow milk cake at the bottom of the pot. After cooling, it can be canned and refrigerated.
Add some milk skin to the boiled milk or milk tea, and it will be creamy, crispy, soft and delicious...fragrant.
Yogurt lumps are fermented in advance and then boiled. Ordinary ones can be boiled directly with a little white vinegar. After that, they are put into gauze and filtered. The cheese is ready. If it is completely dry, you need to pinch it into pieces by hand and let it dry. It has a long shelf life and will not change its taste for one or two years. It will just become as hard as a stone...
Dozens of pregnant women have reserved a portion of the yogurt lumps, and after they are dried, Jing's father will mail them to them, hoping that those pregnant mothers can take good care of their newborn babies in the apocalypse.
As of December 17, Jingshu had finally finished marinating all the vegetables, braising the eggs, processing all kinds of meat, and making milk into milk curds that could be stored for a long time. Jingshu had been busy for more than a month and did not dare to stop, but now she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
One person held a family meeting in the evening.
First, we praised and encouraged the sales of tens of thousands of yuan in the past month, and then we discussed the upcoming dark day and how everyone should deal with it.
"Dark Day will have a huge impact on agriculture. These days, the news reports every day that farmers are rushing to harvest the last batch of winter grain. The country has enough grain, but vegetables are expected to be in short supply. At that time, prices will definitely rise and purchase restrictions will be imposed."
At the time, most people believed there was enough food, and there was a frenzy over vegetables. After all, the national grain reserves were enough to feed the entire country for three years, and apocalyptic theories, which disturbed people's hearts, would be suppressed and even seized and reformed as soon as they appeared.
Even if a few middle-aged young people start a doomsday theory, it will be left unresolved due to lack of money and purchase restrictions. Of course, there will always be a group of people who will hoard food like crazy.
But they never expected that even if they bought enough food and stayed at home thinking they were safe, the high temperature in the first year would rot countless foods, and some people would die of heat and thirst... After they finally survived the first year, they were flooded in the second year... All the food was stored in vain.
"Yes, although the country has started stockpiling vegetables and fruits, and even added greenhouse vegetable plants in every city and town, and encouraged us to grow some vegetables at home, but after all, there has been no sun for over a month. It's a sin. It seems that the vegetables in the yard are not enough. I still have to grow some vegetables in the greenhouse."
This was the only time Jing's father and Jing's grandfather did not have a disagreement, and Jingshu was moved to tears.
Jing's mother nodded in approval: "We need to prepare more food, at least for half a year."
The country said that we should prepare about two months of food. The Chinese people think that it is better to be prepared for any eventuality, so they basically prepare for half a year. In her previous life, Jingshu's family prepared a year's worth of food, and in the early stage they also distributed some to Su Meimei and her uncle's family.
Grandma Jing retorted, "No matter how much you stockpile, it will eventually run out. A stream of water is needed for longevity. You have to grow a variety of vegetables. I heard Jingshu say that something called light can be used as a substitute for sunlight."
"Those are pulsed xenon lamps, simulating sunlight. I installed a row of them in the pond because I was worried there wouldn't be enough sunlight in the winter. Let's go buy some more tomorrow and install them in the vegetable patch and greenhouse down below. That way, you can have fresh vegetables every day even during the dark days." Jingshu thought for a moment and then told her plan:
"In the next few days, my friend and I have ordered various fruits to be canned and dried. We have also ordered a batch of mature fruit plants from him to transplant to the greenhouse. An apple tree and an apricot tree are planted at the door. There are also many fungi that do not require sunlight and can be grown in the living room."
"Our Jingshu has really grown up. She has thought of everything and always comes out to supplement and summarize the work." Jing's father always feels that his caring daughter has suddenly become a little... too mature in the past two months. She is too thorough in doing things. It seems that...
It's like he's grown up into a teenager all of a sudden.
How could she not think about it? Jingshu, who has lived a second life and has the soul of a 32-year-old aunt living in her heart, had not bought rice, flour, oil and grain in advance. Now there is a purchase limit. With the daily limit of 500, how long will it take to buy enough food for the next few years? Not to mention the past month, all supplies have been subject to purchase limits.
…
"...Starting from December 18th, free vegetable seedlings will be distributed in various cities and towns. The method of receiving them is as follows..."
"Today, Expert Wang will teach you which plants can be grown on dark days..."
"It is expected that the next few days will still be hot. Several cases of heat stroke have occurred in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other regions. The general public is urged to pay special attention."
A piece of toast folded in half, sandwiched with a sausage and fried egg, and topped with cheese and lettuce. Jingshu watched the morning news and ate three of these sandwiches in one go, along with a bowl of golden millet porridge, two boiled eggs, a plate of sweet and sour radish, and two fried steaks.
Burp~ It seems like my appetite has increased, but my weight is still 104 pounds.
Jingye drank four bowls of millet porridge, but the toothache made him unable to eat. Surprisingly, Jingye experienced a third spring of life, and his lost teeth began to grow back. He went to the dentist, who could only say, "Well, your case is very special..."
On Sunday, December 18, Jing's mother had a rare day off. After breakfast, the family went to Aijia Supermarket. The shelves were still piled with supplies, and it felt like there were so many every day.
There are obviously fewer people coming today. There are very few young people coming so early. Those who rush to buy Master Kong rice on WeChat are all scammers. It is just old grandfathers and grandmothers who come with their grandchildren to collect rice and leave after collecting it. After all, even if they want to store food, fresh rice has a short shelf life, so they have to wait a few days to buy it, while rice with a long shelf life can be bought in the first two days.
Jingshu's family came to collect subsidy supplies for the fourth day in a row. It was the first time for Jingshu's mother to come. After taking some rice out of curiosity, everyone went shopping in the supermarket. Having money means being willful, and once a woman enters the supermarket, no one can pull her back.
Jing's father and Jing's grandfather pushed two shopping carts each, Jing's grandmother was still reserved, and Jing's mother and Jing Shu started a new round of large-scale purchases. Jing Shu felt that she could never buy enough, and only went to check out when she had no more space.
At this time, Jing's father's cell phone rang. After answering the call, his face became strange. He looked at Jing Shu and said, "Old Zhu is inviting you to dinner. You must go. He is Zhu Zhengqi's father, my... former colleague."
Jing Shu raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were beautiful the moment before, but they turned cold the next moment. When she realized that Jing's father was frowning, Jing Shu resumed her smile and said, "Okay, let's go."
