Chapter 788: Difficulties in Tunnel Digging
After the Chinese New Year, the new year officially begins.
Lao Jing's family made glutinous rice balls on the Lantern Festival. In addition to black sesame ones, they also had various homemade flavors. The frozen glutinous rice balls they bought before the end of the world had long been eaten up.
In the apocalypse, no matter how much food you store, it will eventually run out. If you eat little by little, you might not even realize how much you've consumed. You still have to grow your own food to survive long-term in the apocalypse.
If you don't manage a household, you don't know how to use food, oil, salt, and vinegar. In a year, one person consumes thousands of kilograms of food. And when natural disasters cut off the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years... you will find that it is very difficult to get anything to eat.
If you want to eat rice dumplings, fried red bean paste buns, etc. now, you have to start from the most primitive step: farming.
Fortunately, Jingshu has space, and a batch of crops can be produced every ten days or half a month.
Now that Jingshu has satisfied her appetite, she has started planting various raw materials. She doesn't need to plant too much of each raw material. A field with six sides can be fully planted. She can plant corn on the top and some sweet potatoes below.
Jingshu took out the glutinous rice grown in the space, and Jingye ground it into powder.
The glutinous rice flour is ready, so why not make some glutinous rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, sticky cakes, and cold cakes? So the whole family started to get busy.
Lao Jing has a large family and eats a lot, so they use dozens of kilograms of glutinous rice flour just to make dumplings. Jingshu doesn't like the overly sweet dumplings, so she makes small balls of pure glutinous rice for herself.
This kind of frozen food is especially popular in the end times. Since it is so wasteful, I might as well make all kinds of rice dumplings again.
Sweet rice dumplings, salty rice dumplings, meat rice dumplings, chicken legs, spare ribs, etc. are all made, then wrapped with lotus leaves from the pond, thrown into the pot, cooked and then frozen. When eating, just heat it up and it will be delicious.
Jingshu has taken inventory of all the supplies in the space these days and started making various ready-made foods.
One portion can be taken out for traveling across the street, and can be taken away in the RV when the time comes. Everyone can eat it. This type of food mainly consists of frozen goods that are frozen after being finished.
One part is something that cannot be taken out according to the current situation: such as fresh durian fruit, etc. So they made durian thousand-layer cakes and stored them in the space.
In addition, you can cook your favorite food and put it directly in the space to keep it fresh. This is much more delicious than frozen food. The key is that it saves a heating process and saves fuel.
"It's freshly made, hot and delicious, especially in this cold winter." It feels so good to be able to eat all kinds of delicious food anytime and anywhere.
The best thing about this doomsday world is that you can eat whatever you want whenever you want.
For example, if I want to eat roast duck or roast whole lamb the next second, I can take it out from the space, put it in my mouth, and get a huge sense of satisfaction.
For this happy moment, Jingshu worked hard and planned to cook the second half of the food on the recipe in the next period of time and then store them in the space.
When it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, take it out and have a sneaky snack.
In the days that followed, there was no longer a place like the villa where they could cook to their heart's content in privacy and leisure. Jingshu even wondered if she should take the oven at the back door with her when she moved. After all, using it to make roast duck and wrapping it in pancakes with cucumber, sweet bean sauce, and scallions was so delicious.
Forget it, I'd better roast some roast duck, whole lamb, suckling pig and the like and put them in the space so I can eat them secretly.
In order to prevent the smell from spreading, Jingshu spent a lot of effort and simply cooked in the space, which made the cooking faster.
After two months of busy work, Master Jing had to take Wang Dazhao to learn how to fly a helicopter because Jun Bao began to send helicopters out to explore new routes.
The tunnel digging project finally encountered difficulties.
There were always bugs that disappeared while she was digging, so Xiaowei reported it to Jingshu.
"The bugs disappeared? Were they killed? Or..."
"I felt like my bugs were so far away from me. They were still alive, but they couldn't get through. We couldn't get through either. They were living there.
It's fine, there's no danger at the moment," Xiaowei said.
Then Jingshu knew that this was "crossing the line". The new plate map of the earth would have some places that were the same as ordinary places, while some places would have magical energy and show various different characteristics.
It sounds mysterious, but it is actually similar to the invasion of alien species and is a normal phenomenon.
Is it scary that crayfish are an invasive alien species? Is it mysterious?
No, they're just delicious.
Jingshu then reported the situation to the town government and said, "There are only two options for continuing to dig. The first is to dig straight ahead according to the original plan, taking the shortest straight-line distance. This is difficult to dig, but if we take the trade route, the speed will be faster. The disadvantage is that there are unknown dangers."
The second option is to explore the newly emerged plate map and then go around it to reach the destination. Although this will make the digging route longer, the future trade route will also be longer and consume more resources, but it is safer."
Jingshu remembered that in her previous life, there were not so many twists and turns. The tyrant led a huge army and drove straight ahead. Anyone who could not keep up with the team would die.
It took us half a year to reach our destination as we were in such a hurry.
So Jun Bao first ordered the town government's helicopter to explore the map as a group, just like last time, keeping distance and maintaining contact, and bringing its own small satellite, supplies and armed forces.
Each team is also equipped with a person with supernatural powers. Of course, there are very few talents in this area in Wucheng, which is not comparable to the imperial capital, and their abilities are not as abnormal as Zhen Nantian's.
Each of them is valuable, so the purpose of the mission is to detect anything that is wrong and send a distress signal.
After this incident... Jingshu quickly took Wang Dazhao to learn how to fly a helicopter. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big joke if he didn't know how to drive when he ran away?
The tunnel digging work was stopped for the time being.
Jingshu feels sad every time a bug or mud mermaid is lost.
During this period, let the small and micro people start making some handicrafts to use on the road to prevent accidents before they happen.
For example, if you want to catch up with the speed of the army, it is too tiring to walk, so it is better to make a dual-purpose 'bug car'. Use the sled model in places with snow, and use wheels when encountering bad places.
We can make more of these insect carts to transport supplies. At worst, we can rent them out and earn some rent and food.
The issue of supply is still a headache.
Thus, the fur of the recently proliferating long-haired ants found a new use, and the Jingshu Garment Factory also had a new job: turning the long fur into custom-made tents. These could be sold to migrants, who would at least avoid freezing to death with these airtight tents.
