Chapter 111: Chop a chicken leg for dinner tonight
The four people were swayed left and right by the wind and snow, and they had to try their best to keep their bodies steady while setting up the tent, which was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, there were four cats running around to help, otherwise the tent would have been blown away by the wind as soon as it was opened.
After working for an hour or two, it was completely dark when they finally set up their tent.
The two tents were placed close together, with their doors next to each other, making it convenient for them to move back and forth.
The space in the tents is relatively large. Two tents are almost enough for them to put all their supplies in, and there is still room left for sleeping and cooking.
Mu Qianqian shuttled back and forth between the two tents, her eyes curved with a smile.
"I used to envy others living in tents, but now I can finally live in one too! The inside of the tent is just as I imagined, and it looks very cozy."
Tents don't look as spacious as normal houses, and now that they are filled with supplies, the space seems even smaller.
Sometimes, the smaller the space, the cozier it seems.
The old Taoist priest stood with his sleeves tucked into his pockets, his face full of regret, "It's such a pity to have those two big stoves."
If there were two large stoves and we could put them in two tents, the tents would definitely be warmer than they are now.
After hearing the old Taoist's words, Nan Ci couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
The big stove in her room was moved into the space, so there was nothing to regret.
The only pity is the one used by the old Taoist priests.
This is a good thing. Although it is not completely lost, it is not easy to get it again.
Even the big pot in her space couldn't be taken out.
Fortunately, she had anticipated this and threw a spare one when she threw the things down.
While Nan Ci was thinking, Zhou Ziyang came over and said, "I saw a few simple earthen pots. They can be used to burn firewood or charcoal. They can be used for cooking and heating. They should be yours, Nan Ci, right?"
Nan Ci nodded, "Yes, it's mine. I bought it because it looked good and was easy to carry. I didn't expect that I never had a chance to use it after I bought it."
"That's not a waste. Now we have a chance to use it." Zhou Ziyang said with a smile, "But this is not completely enclosed. Whether it's burning charcoal or wood, it's easy for sparks to fly. Be careful, otherwise it's easy to cause a fire."
They only have so many supplies left. If they were burned by fire again, they would have no place to cry.
Everyone knew that this was no small matter, so they nodded and agreed.
No matter how good the quality of this tent is, it is just a few layers of cloth. Facing such extreme weather, its effect is still very limited.
Now that we have found something to make a fire, we naturally need to start the fire quickly.
Two earthen pots were lit in each tent, with large iron and aluminum pots placed on top. Once the water boiled, noodles and porridge could be cooked.
After working for such a long time, they still haven't eaten anything.
I feel hungry when I’m busy, but in order to have a place to stay at night, I have to grit my teeth and bear it.
Now that I'm in the warmer tent, I'm even hungrier.
The old Taoist priest looked out eagerly and said, "Why don't we cut some chicken and cook it to see what it tastes like."
This was the first time they found fresh meat outside since the end of the world, and it would be a shame not to try it.
Not only did the old Taoist priest want to try it, Nan Ci and the others also wanted to try it.
When it comes to food, Mu Qianqian is very active, "Master, Nan Ci, you guys wait here, I'll go out and cut some meat."
It was completely dark outside, with heavy snow and strong wind. Zhou Ziyang was worried about Mu Qianqian going out alone, so he hurriedly followed her outside.
After watching the two of them leave, the old Taoist priest smacked his lips and said, "Let's make some ice bricks tomorrow and pile them up on all sides. It's not enough to just rely on the tent to keep out the wind and snow."
Nan Ci agreed with this and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, let's do it tomorrow morning."
Making ice bricks is not a difficult task. They have enough charcoal and plenty of snow outside, so making ice bricks is not a difficult task.
As for the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, they will probably stay here for quite a long time, so it is very necessary to reinforce the tent.
As they were talking, Mu Qianqian ran in excitedly.
She only had a knife in her hand, not the chicken.
Without asking, I know that the chicken must be held by Zhou Ziyang in the back.
This was indeed the case. After a while, Zhou Ziyang walked in with a large piece of chicken in his arms.
Mu Qianqian sighed, "It was frozen hard and not easy to cut. It took me half a day to cut a piece of meat this big from the chicken leg."
That piece of meat looked to be at least 20 kilograms, which was enough for the four of them.
However, it wasn't just the four of them who ate the meat, there were also four cats and a small turtle.
Nan Ci stood up and said, "You guys clean up this piece of meat first, I'll go out and get some more."
We will be living together in the future, and it will not be convenient to prepare separate meals for the four cats, so their appetites must be made clear.
Nan Ci was stronger and the knife in his hand was faster. He chopped several times along the place where Mu Qianqian and the others had chopped, and finally cut off the leg that Mu Qianqian had not chopped off just now.
To be precise, what was chopped off was not a complete chicken leg, but just the chicken drumstick.
But because the chicken was so big, even just the chicken leg was half as tall as Nan Ci.
Holding it in my arms, it feels even heavier, at least over 100 pounds.
Holding more than 100 pounds of flesh in his arms, Nan Ci didn't feel it was heavy at all, he just felt happy.
The four cats and the little turtle are now well fed!
Nan Ci was about to turn around and go back when he suddenly heard some noise not far away.
That was the sound of approaching footsteps.
It can be heard that the owner of the voice has tried to make his footsteps as light as possible.
But the newly fallen snow was soft, and people are not kittens, so every step they took on it would inevitably make a crackling sound.
Nan Ci was able to hear it because his hearing was much better than most people's.
If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to hear it with such strong wind.
Nan Ci turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Although it was completely dark, the snow was white, and Nan Ci had good eyesight, so he could still vaguely see a few people approaching a few meters away.
These people were all wrapped up tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, old or young.
Nan Ci didn't make any noise, and these people probably didn't expect to be discovered, so they continued to move forward with light steps and groping their way forward.
It was not until they were only one or two meters away from Nan Ci that they realized that Nan Ci was watching them quietly.
