While the sheep were being pickled, He Xiaobei started to process their internal organs. He didn't want to do it himself, so he used his supernatural powers to control the cleaning.
After cleaning, cut them into small pieces, take out several large pots, put them all on the stove and start cooking mutton soup.
Since marinating and stewing these things would take a long time, she took out the skewers and skewered the remaining meat, preparing to grill it.
Of course, vegetables, beef, mutton and other things are indispensable for barbecue. He Xiaobei took out some of the things that he had stockpiled for barbecue and grilled them by himself for two whole days.
Charcoal fire is placed on the stove for roasting the whole lamb and the stove for roasting skewers, and both sides are roasted at the same time.
The living room was instantly filled with the alluring aroma of barbecue. Juicy, tender pieces of meat were placed on the blazing charcoal stove. As the temperature continued to rise, their surfaces gradually turned golden and crispy, gleaming with an alluring glow. Each piece of meat exuded an intoxicating charred aroma.
The man and the cat have been eating the meat while roasting it these days. The freshly roasted meat has a crispy skin and is tender and juicy inside, which can give people a great enjoyment to their taste buds.
What she didn't know at the time was that because the smell of barbecue was so strong, she had been targeted by a group of passers-by downstairs.
In fact, He Xiaobei had thought about this problem before cooking, but she lived on a high floor and would not open the doors and windows when cooking. Even if she cooked too much, the smell would inevitably escape. If someone was so foolish as to cause trouble, she would just kill him, so she didn't take it to heart.
This group of people came all the way from a rural area in City B. They originally planned to go to the official base in City S. There were more than 20 people in the group, including both men and women, and a few half-grown children, but there was not a single elderly person among them.
After the end of the world, the situation in rural areas will be much better than in cities, because most rural people will have a lot of food stored in their homes.
Some families even raise a lot of poultry or pigs, cattle and sheep. As long as they are not in low-lying areas, they can mostly survive the winter by relying on the trees on the surrounding mountains to burn fires for warmth.
Moreover, the government has not given up on them. They airdrop some relief supplies every two weeks. In comparison, their lives are much better than those of people in the city.
However, there was an extra note in an airdrop a few days ago, which stated the upcoming weather disasters predicted by the Meteorological Bureau, the specific addresses of some bases around them, and stated that this was the last airdrop of supplies. Now the villagers can't sit still.
The terrain of their village is higher than the surrounding areas. When the natural disaster came, not only did the village chief organize several hunting operations, but the women in the village also dug up a lot of wild vegetables and vegetable roots in the mountains.
Despite experiencing extreme cold, their bodies are still strong.
After reading the notice, the village chief led everyone to calculate the supplies on hand. Although there were still some supplies left, it was still not enough for so many people to enter the official base.
After two days of discussion, everyone finally unanimously decided to distribute food equally to each household according to their labor force, that is, only to men and young women with working ability, and those who had more people would find their own way.
The food they were allocated could allow their families to enter the base first, and others could work outside the base to earn points and then exchange them for places.
This creates an awkward situation. What should we do with the elderly at home?
After a long winter, there are not many elderly people left in the village, and now several of them are sitting together with numb expressions.
Looking at the children's decision, they all expressed their willingness to stay, and even if they died, they would die on the land where they grew up.
In fact, everyone understood that even if they followed along, they would not be able to survive the hardships of the long journey.
So they made a transport trailer for towing on ice, loaded all the supplies on the trailer, and had young and strong men pull it and set off.
There were many people like them. After receiving the notice from the government, they all organized themselves together and headed towards the base.
They were very numerous and had not yet suffered from the weakness caused by long-term hunger. Their advantage was particularly obvious when they passed through the city.
People didn't dare to get close to them at all, and they all avoided them when they saw such a crowd. Not only did isolated people not dare to get close, even robbers stayed away from this group of people.
Gradually, everyone began to gather in groups, forming teams of varying sizes to fight against threats from the outside world.
After forming a crowd, some people began to feel uneasy about the status quo and started to rob other people who were alone while walking. As they did this more and more, they gradually became bolder.
They began to be dissatisfied with just robbing supplies, and also started to attack people. When they met beautiful women during the robbery, they would keep them and play with and insult them at will.
When this group of people passed by He Xiaobei, they smelled a faint scent of barbecue and then followed the smell to find him.
The man in the lead twitched his red, frozen nose as he walked.
"This should be it. The smell here is the strongest."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and began to look at the tall building in front of him. They had not eaten meat for a long time. Hunting was too difficult in the extreme cold. Although they had caught a few wild boars, there were too many people and each person could not get a few bites.
At this time, a young man swallowed his saliva and said:
"Village chief, there are many of us. Why don't we go up and take a look? We won't do anything, but we should be able to eat some meat."
As soon as the young man started speaking, the people around him couldn't help but start to echo him:
"Yes, village chief, look at those people on the road, many of them are robbing. We are not doing anything, just going up to ask for some meat to eat."
"That's right, as long as they give us some meat, we won't do anything else."
"What's the use of doing other things? It's the end of the world now, and no one cares about the outside world anymore."
"Who says it's not true? Those people on the road not only steal other people's food, but also steal women. We are the only ones who are honest."
The leading man was also very greedy, and with the villagers' encouragement, he also felt that this was feasible. With so many people, even if they couldn't win, the other party would have to think twice before doing anything to them. The worst result would be that they would leave without getting the meat.
So what they had seen and heard in the past few days began to arouse the evil thoughts in their hearts. He gritted his teeth and nodded, then looked up at the building in front of him and felt that there shouldn't be too many people in the building.
"Then leave a few people down there to watch over the supplies. The women and children will also stay down there. The rest of you will come up with me."
