After so many days of water restrictions, people finally had the freedom to use water again.
Even the fools who were laughing realized what was happening and went home to get pots and pans to collect water. Some less particular men even took a bath in the rainwater.
Even though the temperature has dropped slightly compared to the previous few days, it's still very hot, and they aren't worried about catching a cold at all.
Some children curiously tried to drink rainwater by opening their mouths like adults, but their parents slapped them shut.
Washing and scrubbing is fine, but the water that goes into your stomach needs to be boiled at least once for high-temperature sterilization.
Even though she had stored a lot of water in advance, Xia Ning still took a bucket to collect water in order to show that she was part of the group.
Instead of foolishly letting the rain wash over her, she wanted to ask those dancing wildly in the rain: Doesn't it hurt when such heavy rain hits you?
Xia Ning had just opened the door with the empty bucket when she heard the sound of a lock turning next door.
Wang Wei poked her head out and smiled when she saw Xia Ning.
After the hospital visit, the two families became close friends, and Wang Wei felt that her relationship with Xia Ning had become much closer.
Wang Wei grinned and said, "No need for that. Just hang the bucket on the balcony, and it will be full in no time, saving you the trouble of carrying it up and down the stairs."
Xia Ning was mainly following the crowd without thinking too much about it. Now that Wang Wei has proposed a more time-saving and labor-saving method, she naturally follows suit.
Xia Ning asked Wang Wei how Jiang Yuan was doing.
Wang Wei waved her hand: "Don't worry, I won't die anytime soon."
Xia Ning: ...Don't worry.
At this moment, Zhang Changheng opened the door to another shop, and the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Wang Wei glanced at the plastic bucket in Zhang Changheng's hand and repeated what she had just said.
Zhang Changheng quickly expressed his gratitude.
So, the three families on the 8th floor met briefly before returning to their respective homes.
Xia Ning hung the empty bucket out and went to the toilet to clean up the mud splatters her sister had thrown out.
In the past, Xia Ning would never have been willing to do this.
However, she now has plenty of time and loves the vibrant energy her sister brings.
The revelry downstairs ended when an older man collapsed from heatstroke halfway through his shower.
Xia Ning pouted, "35 degrees, I was just kidding."
Her vehicle told her that the rain was not a sign that the weather was returning to normal.
The rain connected the sky and the earth into one line, and the pedestrians outside seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray fog, making it difficult to see clearly.
The ground was quickly covered with a thick layer of sewage, including garbage and rotting matter that hadn't been cleaned up during the previous hot weather, as well as dirty water poured out from washing clothes and bathing under the eaves.
Xia Ning stood on the balcony, holding up binoculars and looking down, and couldn't help but sigh with relief that there were no treasure chests in this dungeon.
Before transmigrating, Xia Ning enjoyed listening to white noise created from rain sounds to help her sleep, but after entering the survival game, she found it less pleasant.
Xia Ning doesn't plan to use the collected rainwater for bathing or washing clothes; she'll save it for flushing the toilet or as a gift for a future treasure chest monster.
The rain was intermittent, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and never stopped.
Xia Ning brought out the pot; on a rainy day, of course you have to eat the famous northern dish, sauerkraut and pork stew with vermicelli!
As soon as the sauerkraut box was opened, a rich, sour aroma immediately wafted out, filling Xia Ning's mouth. Even before she had tasted it, Xia Ning felt her mouth watering.
She's always had a sour palate and never hesitates to pour vinegar. When she was in college, Xia Ning was shocked to hear that someone ate xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) without dipping them in vinegar.
Wearing disposable gloves, Xia Ning grabbed a properly pickled sauerkraut, placed it on the cutting board, chopped it up with a few quick cuts, and stir-fried it in the oil along with the sliced pork belly from the supermarket.
With a sizzling sound, the aroma instantly filled the entire room.
Even its younger sister grabbed its toy, darted to the door, and lay down on the floor wagging its tail.
Xia Ning looked at it and said, "You're drooling, aren't you? I'm drooling too."
This dish is not complicated to make. Just stir-fry it in oil, then add water and glass noodles and simmer together. The taste will be just as good.
Xia Ning, who had no cooking experience, followed the tutorial video and succeeded on her first try.
However, she lacked the knife skills to slice meat, so she used semi-finished products and cut the pickled cabbage into large pieces.
It's okay, as long as it's cooked and edible, it's a success.
If the taste is good, then it's perfect!
Xia Ning believed she had made a perfect pot of sauerkraut, pork, and glass noodle stew!
The rain tapped against the window outside, while the soup inside bubbled and steamed, creating a thin mist both inside and out.
To be honest, Xia Ning used to really not understand the Korean way of eating carbs on top of carbs.
In her opinion, noodles, dumplings, and rice are all staple foods, so why would she eat instant noodles and then rice porridge?
Right now, Xia Ning is holding a bowl of rice and taking a bite with her chopsticks.
A thin slice of meat sandwiched between a yellow-green pickled cabbage leaf, wrapped with two rice noodles and a few grains of rice, is stuffed into your mouth in one go. The taste is amazing!
It makes your mouth water!
Xia Ning squinted and picked up another mouthful of rice.
She likes to put the piping hot dishes on top of the rice first, and then pick the dishes out of the rice bowl to eat.
The rice grains, soaked in the vegetable juice, become sweet, sour, salty, and fragrant. Xia Ning can eat a whole bowl of rice just by mixing the broth with the rice!
With a hot pot in front of her, Xia Ning was still sweating profusely while eating, even with the air conditioning on.
In short, it's awesome!
Xia Ning, having eaten and drunk her fill, started to feel sleepy as she listened to the rain outside.
During this time, her younger sister tried to jump on her, but Xia Ning swept her away with her arm. Her belly couldn't withstand the pressure and was stretched to her throat.
Even though everyone was busy washing up in the rain, Xia Ning ate it inside her room to prevent the smell from drifting too far.
Since everyone's supplies haven't been driven to the brink of despair yet, Xia Ning feels that in less than a week, she will really have to eat like a thief.
The jubilation surrounding the arrival of rain lasted only one day.
