Chapter 25 Tomato Beef Brisket Stewed Potatoes
[Wasteland Calendar Novice Period Day 6, Mild Season, Sunny, 8:00]
On the third day before the disaster, Wen Ning went out early in the morning.
The rising sun hangs in the sky. The sunlight is not very warm and does not feel warm on the body.
Wen Ning even felt a little chilly.
"It's better to wear long sleeves tomorrow."
When Wen Ning got up this morning, he ate while buying a batch of clothes, including cotton, wool, and some fur and felt that were said to be from Siberia.
After all, even if there is a snowstorm, we still have to go out to work!
Wen Ning rubbed the hairs on his arms, walked to the grove, and spent two hours chopping down all the nearby wood.
Then returned to the shelter.
There was no point in going out for the last two days, so Wen Ning simply devoted himself to his cellar project.
Two hoes and two stone shovels were combined in one go.
They dug in the warehouse for two and a half days, until noon the day before the disaster struck.
Every day, apart from going out to collect wood, he would dig tunnels in the cellar.
During your free time during meals and breaks, you can browse the chat channel and the trading market.
The chat channel has been much quieter in the past two days. The relic seems to have brought basic survival supplies to most players, and the online beggars have gradually disappeared.
And those players who were skeptical about the system and thought that this trial was just a dream have now completely woken up.
As the first trial disaster approached, almost everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.
The activity of the trading channel has reached an unprecedented level. Many rare and strange materials have gradually emerged, most of which were brought out from the ruins.
Players chatted and believed that the ruins were a backdoor opened by the system, and said that the system was also afraid that all the survivors would die.
From this, it can be inferred that the difficulty of the first trial will not be too great.
But the number of survivors buying wood and stones in the trading market is increasing every day.
The prices of heating supplies have risen sharply.
Even supplies like wood, which are refreshed regularly next to each person's shelter, are the same.
Some survivors said that there is nothing to be afraid of in extreme cold, as long as their campfire does not go out, they will not be frozen to death.
And the system has already prompted that it is related to snow. There is an old saying among the people that it is not cold when it snows, but it is cold when the snow melts.
So the disaster should not be severe.
So everyone chose to stockpile as much wood as possible. After all, collecting wood every day was much easier than other tasks.
Wen Ning did the same, spending two hours every morning collecting wood from the nearby grove. ,
Then he came back to dig his own cellar.
The spiral earthen steps go down little by little, about the height of one floor.
After that, Wen Ning dug to a suitable depth and then dug the hole horizontally with this depth as the center.
Finally, a space with an area of about 5 square meters was dug out, which was smaller than the warehouse above. If the entire space was hollowed out, the warehouse would inevitably collapse.
"Capacity is limited, and time is limited."
Wen Ning used a torch to explore the surroundings.
The bottom was a little damp, and due to lack of air circulation, the torches flickered.
The damp and cold weather is much lower than the current temperature outside the shelter, which is very suitable for storing fresh fruits and vegetables and extending their shelf life.
Under the dim firelight, Wen Ning transported the last bit of soil out.
"Fortunately, the backpack can carry a lot of soil, otherwise, the work of moving soil would be exhausting!"
Wen Ning came out of the warehouse covered in dirt, his body was covered in mud, even his hair was inevitably stained with it.
Wen Ning felt a little disgusted with himself. He hadn't taken a shower for a week.
I use wet wipes every day, and if I feel a little extravagant, I will use two or three.
Wen Ning insists on wiping her hair with wet wipes every day, then wrapping it with cloth and tying it into a low ponytail.
So my hair isn't particularly oily.
But I've been underground for the past two days and was so tired that I didn't clean myself up carefully.
Looking at the water I have collected these days.
Wen Ning decided to splurge!
Wash your hair!
Otherwise I really can’t sleep. (ˇˇ)
I can still use wet wipes when taking a shower, but my hair is really not doing well.
then.
Noon time.
Wen Ning boiled a pot of water, then took out a wooden basin, put the basin of water into his backpack, took a pack of disposable shampoo he had traded for, and walked out of the shelter.
The wooden comb is made by myself using a manufacturing table.
Wen Ning took off his headscarf that was covered in mud and let his hair down.
Her hair has always been shoulder length.
There are no bangs, and if necessary, they can all be tucked into a head cover or helmet without affecting vision and movement.
It's also neat and tidy to tie your hair into a bun.
Wen Ning placed the wooden basin on the ground, rolled up his sleeves, lowered his head, and put his hair into the hot water.
The warm feeling wrapped around my scalp, it's been a long time since I last felt this way.
The hot water moistened his hair from roots to ends. Wen Ning didn't dare to move casually. It would be a big loss if the water splashed out.
Maintaining this posture, Wen Ning quickly tore open the disposable shampoo.
The scent of gardenia is so warm!
Wen Ning poured it all onto his scalp and rubbed it quickly.
Wen Ning could hardly rub out any bubbles and felt like crying but had no tears.
But the condition is just that.
It’s not that he can’t buy shampoo to wash his hair a second time, but Wen Ning is reluctant to waste the water resources he has collected bit by bit.
The survival system talks about the snow disaster, but it doesn’t say that the water after the snow melts is clean!
Wen Ning once took on a mission to protect a biologist.
He was going to a plague area to collect samples, but in order to conceal the fact of the plague, the local government burned all the people and animals infected with the plague, along with everything they had touched.
The fire burned for several days and black smoke filled the sky.
Everyone thought the evidence had disappeared completely.
But on the second day after Wen Ning and others arrived, there was a heavy rain in the area.
The researchers took rainwater samples as per usual practice and found a large amount of plague virus in the rainwater!
Because of this, the team quickly announced the news.
The local area was thus spared from a new round of plague.
Therefore, on the premise of making sure that the snow water from the snowstorm is clean, Wen Ning will not easily consume his stored water resources.
After washing his hair with this little water, Wen Ning also washed his headscarf and all the clothes he had been wearing for several days.
After wringing it dry, hang it back indoors.
Hang over a campfire to dry.
"If I can't leave the house in the next two days, I'll build a fireplace here."
Although bonfires are convenient, they produce too much ash, making the whole room gray.
While drying his hair, Wen Ning watched the sun gradually set, enjoying the final tranquility of the mild season.
Then I went into the kitchen and thought about what to eat tonight.
"On the eve of the disaster season, you have to eat well. Who knows what we will face tomorrow morning?"
Wen Ning finally decided to make a stew, beef brisket with tomatoes and potatoes.
Main courses were beef and steak.
Taking out the wooden chopping board, the steak became as soft as a piece of tofu in front of the fine iron dagger.
Cut the brisket into large chunks and set aside with the steak.
Then take out two potatoes and cut them into large pieces for later use.
Insert a chopstick into the butt of a tomato, roast it over a campfire, and you can easily remove the skin.
The removed skin was not wasted, and Wen Ning ate it without disgust.
After preparing the simple seasonings, Wen Ning started cooking.
Put the beef brisket in clear water and stew it first.
Wen Ning squatted aside and carefully skimmed off the foam, then scooped it out, leaving the soup.
Without rock sugar, there is no need to make sugar color.
Directly add the tomato cubes and stir-fry to make soup. Crush the tomatoes with a spatula, add light soy sauce, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce and stir-fry until well-flavored. Pour in half water as steak broth.
Add steak and sirloin, bring to a boil then reduce heat and add potato cubes.
Add salt and simmer for about ten minutes. Add a small amount of pepper to season before serving.
Finally, you get a pot of rich and delicious tomato beef brisket stewed with potatoes!
Wen Ning took out the unfinished black bread, opened the lid of the pot, and the sweet fragrance filled the air!
Taking a deep breath, Wen Ning almost drooled.
"Mmm, fragrant!"
Wen Ning can cook, but he rarely has time to cook after work. Even after coming to the wasteland, he has been running around collecting supplies for the past few days, and he has no choice but to make do with whatever he has every day.
Today, I spent two hours to make this dish for the first time.
Although there was no soul-like chopped green onion before it was served, Wen Ning was still very satisfied.
I couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef brisket and put it into my mouth. It was soft, tender and chewy.
This is truly the most perfect meal in the wasteland world!
Even if I can't pass the first trial mission, at least I won't starve to death.
With the soup, the taste of the black bread in your hand is elevated to a higher level!
Wen Ning ate until his stomach was full and then stopped.
Looking at the remaining broth, I thought it shouldn’t be wasted.
then.
Trading channel.
