Bi Qiaoan had no idea about any of this. She beckoned the goose's bowl over and put some more food in it. Just like that, the goose surrendered and ate with a big smile.
After the man and the goose interacted for a while, Shen Yanming finally came out of the kitchen.
Seeing that he had taken off his apron, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Are you done?"
Shen Yanming shook his head. "I'm tired, let's rest for a while! By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
"Noon?" Bi Qiaoan smiled strangely, then pointed to the clock on the wall, "It's already 2:30 in the afternoon!"
Shen Yanming was taken aback. Had so much time passed? It seemed he was so engrossed in cooking that he had forgotten the passage of time.
He didn't dwell on the question. Instead, he asked, "Were you hungry? Why didn't you remind me?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "I had spring rolls and sesame balls to eat with, and then I ate grapes, so I couldn't eat any more rice."
Shen Yanming didn't insist. He used his consciousness to retrieve a bowl of wontons from the storage area, ate it, and then asked, "So what do you want to eat tonight?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head and chuckled, "We just finished lunch and we're already thinking about dinner? Aren't we being a bit too greedy?"
"No, I'll continue stocking up on food this afternoon anyway. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment and said, "Then I want to eat lamb skewers, and also, durian pizza."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Then I won't cook any stir-fries this afternoon. I'll make some barbecue and then bake you some pizzas of various flavors."
Bi Qiaoan's eyes lit up as she listened, and she nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I also want to eat egg tarts, with yellow peaches and mangoes inside."
"Okay, I'll grant your wish."
The goose heard about all the delicious food and quacked twice as if to say, "Master, don't forget about me!"
Shen Yanming smiled and promised, "Don't worry, you'll get a share."
So, throughout the afternoon, Shen Yanming would go into the kitchen to put a few pizzas in the oven, and then run outside the villa to turn meat skewers on the grill.
Bi Qiaoan sat on the Bird's Nest swing chair with a smile, watching the excitement, waiting to be the first to eat the meat skewers after they were grilled.
Time passed by, and after a whole day's work, the empty shelf in the storage area was now full.
Not only that, Shen Yanming also placed two new shelves next to him, waiting to put various foods he would prepare later.
The next morning, after finishing his morning training, Shen Yanming returned to his dormitory and woke up Bi Qiaoan.
He was thinking that the guards had arranged a rest room for him, and he couldn't just leave it there. But there was nothing on the bed, so he had to find a way to expose the blankets and bedding.
Also, we need to find a source for the vegetables we have at home. Since it's the weekend, I'll go back to Qingyu Community and take care of both of these things.
When Shen Yanming told Bi Qiaoan about his plan, she understood. Without dawdling, she washed her face, brushed her teeth, and set off.
The sun outside is really strong; it burns my skin.
And lately, it's getting light earlier and darker, and everything feels unusually bad.
Logically speaking, it is normal for summer days to be long and nights to be short, but can you imagine that it is light at four in the morning and dark at nine at night?
Isn't this just the opposite of last winter?
This anomaly makes one wonder if the Tropic of Cancer has shifted northward again?
However, no one answered.
Just like the anomaly last year that remains unexplained, it's enough that everyone knows it happened.
Unfortunately, there was no precedent, so scientists could only speculate based on limited theories and data.
This will take a long time, and the final result, whether true or false, is still unknown.
Therefore, there's really no need to dwell on these unusual things.
Feeling a bit irritated under the sun, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Don't you feel that the sun is getting more and more intense?"
Shen Yanming nodded, "That's true. We have morning training at six o'clock every day. In theory, that's not late, but even so, the temperature outside can reach as high as thirty-three degrees Celsius, which is comparable to noon. This morning, several people fainted before the training was even over."
"Is it from exhaustion or heatstroke?"
"It's likely that many people have low blood sugar because they haven't eaten breakfast. Then they engage in such intense exercise, and with the hot weather, it's no wonder that something unexpected happens," Shen Yanming said.
Bi Qiaoan glanced at the man beside her in surprise, "Aren't you worried about them at all?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "The guard team has doctors, so I don't need to worry about it. Besides, they should have assessed their physical condition before participating in the morning training. If they knowingly participated when they were not in a good condition, then they can only blame themselves for fainting and suffering from heatstroke."
Bi Qiaoan nodded without saying anything more.
"But you should be prepared, because next week when you start work, they might ask you to make some cooling pills," Shen Yanming said.
Bi Qiaoan frowned. "If that's the case, it would be better to brew a large pot of medicine. That way, everyone can get a few mouthfuls, and it can also serve as a preventative measure."
Shen Yanming hummed in agreement and praised, "My wife is getting more and more creative, not bad."
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan glared at him and said, "I just know my own limitations. If it weren't for the two babies, I probably wouldn't have taken on the pharmaceutical work at all. This is too much responsibility, and sometimes I feel like I can't bear it."
As if knowing her worries, Shen Yanming held her hand tightly and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here with you."
"Hmm, it's alright. But I probably won't need the summer heat relief medicine. Those Chinese medicine practitioners should have a general formula, they can just prepare it according to that."
Shen Yanming chuckled, "That's not necessarily true."
Through this period of early morning training, he discovered that something seemed to be accumulating in the sunlight, waiting for an opportunity to erupt.
Therefore, he has little hope for traditional herbal decoctions.
In fact, because of this unknown factor, he had little confidence in the recipes passed down from his ancestors.
However, he kept these worries to himself and didn't tell anyone.
Hearing him say this, Bi Qiaoan didn't argue, but simply said, "Actually, the medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Haven't you considered moving the training time to the evening?"
Shen Yanming shook his head. "In the evening, there's only the gap between 10 pm and 12 am. In theory, that's possible, but the guards are used to their previous schedule and probably need to go to sleep by 10 pm."
Furthermore, Li Gangtie said that the climate in the apocalypse is inherently unpredictable. While we should strive to maximize benefits and minimize harm, we cannot simply avoid it. Given the uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring, we must try our best to adapt to these changes.
Bi Qiaoan agreed with this statement, saying, "This kind of adaptation probably also means evolution."
Shen Yanming smiled after hearing this and nodded, "Yes, I think so too."
