Chapter 40 Water, gas and electricity outage
[Vegetable Prince: I want a chicken too! My wife is pregnant and needs to eat something nutritious! The frozen meat in the refrigerator is all gone. If I don’t buy some, I can only eat rice with pickles today! ]
[Chicken Farmer: 150/kg for live ones, 50/kg for dead ones, how much do you want? ]
[Chun Nuan Hua Kai (You Cai): Why did you raise the price so much? 】
[Chicken Farmer: A lot? If it weren’t for the fact that the risk would increase with each day of delay, I would have wanted to double it. Do you know how much money I have lost during this period? I am almost bankrupt!]
[Old Li, the grain seller: Even though I have a fortune, the furry ones don't count. So give me two live ones. I'll come find you later.]
[Vegetable Prince: Give me two too. I will stew them for my wife in the next few days! ]
After watching for a while and getting a lot of bad news, Ji He stood up and prepared to cook.
The red beans are soaked and I’m going to make red bean paste buns today.
Ji He first boiled the red beans in a pot and then kneaded the dough again.
After kneading the dough, he put it into the space and let it rise slowly. Ji He took out the remaining radishes, cowpeas, peppers, cucumbers, and turnips in the space.
There has always been a pickle jar in the kitchen at home, but it has been empty anyway. Now she has just the time to pickle a jar of pickles.
At this time, the vegetables she had were almost consumed.
These dishes are still specially left by her.
After thinking about it, Ji He left 5 large white radishes back into the space, and washed the rest with water.
In line with the principle of saving water, she did not waste the water used to wash vegetables. She connected the water so that she could save it for flushing the toilet later.
Ji He looked at the washed vegetables and thought that even if he put them all in the pickle jar, it would be good enough to fill a whole jar.
When Ji He was washing vegetables, there were always bugs flying around her, which annoyed her greatly.
As the temperature rises, humans cannot adapt, but the insects seem to have returned to heaven and are becoming more and more unrestrained.
Ji He brought all the washed items to the space to dry.
I’m afraid that flies will land and lay eggs, so I won’t be able to eat it.
While waiting, Ji He was not idle. She flashed into the space and started working. Today she planned to plant lotus roots in the lake.
There were only a few lotus roots in total, so she followed the information downloaded from the computer and planted all the lotus roots in shallow water.
I believe that as long as there is space, germination should not be a problem.
After finishing the work, the vegetables were almost dried, so Ji He took out coarse salt and pickled them.
She got this coarse-grain salt from the supermarket, as she had only stockpiled fine salt before.
While the vegetables were pickling, Ji He started making red bean paste buns.
There are two pots in total, one for steaming red bean paste buns and the other for cooking porridge.
In this way, she was busy until after 11 o'clock without realizing it. Just when the last pot of buns and porridge was ready and Ji He was about to continue boiling water, she suddenly found that the natural gas had been cut off!
It stopped very suddenly, without any warning, and Ji He couldn't start the fire no matter how hard he tried.
Her heart sank and she sat down and took out her cell phone.
Someone has already asked this question in the community group.
[Director Xu: The natural gas pipeline is broken and cannot be supplied temporarily. We will notify you in time when it is repaired.]
[Keke's mom: There was no electricity, and now there is no gas. How can we cook? Can adults starve? Can children grow up hungry? ]
[Home with two treasures: Yes, we can’t even drink water without gas, you can’t let us drink raw water, right? ]
[American Ginseng: Vegetables and meat in supermarkets are so expensive, how can ordinary people live? Who can afford such high prices? You can't let me eat rice with pickles, right? ! @Director Xu, please take care of it. ]
[Keke's mom: Not to mention the high price, there are also purchase restrictions. You can't buy a pound of vegetables with 500 yuan. Are you crazy? ]
[Director Xu: Difficulties are temporary. Everyone should overcome them. You can eat some instant noodles and sausages. They are not too expensive now.]
[Keke’s mom: This stuff is junk food, it has no nutrition, how can children eat this? ]
Director Xu has been explaining in a gentle voice in the group.
She doesn't have any other good ideas. If she wants to eat vegetables, she has to go to the supermarket to buy them.
These people told her that she couldn't solve the problem.
This area is close to the city and the facilities are seriously aging. It’s a blessing from God that we have survived until now!
The weather has been hot recently, and not only are there problems everywhere, but there are also many people guarding supermarkets and spreading rumors. The government is short of manpower, so it can only repair the most populous areas in the city center first.
Ji He looked for a while but couldn't find a solution, so he had to put the water back into the space.
Fortunately, she had been making use of her time to cook before, so even if the natural gas was cut off now, she would not lack food for the time being.
Before she could celebrate for long, she found that the water had also stopped...
Ji He: “…”
Although she is not short of water for the time being, why is she so frightened?
There is no water, no electricity, no natural gas, and no food. How can there not be chaos?
She didn't even need to look at the group chat to know that things must be going crazy there!
Everyone has changed their daily routines now, staying up during the day and going out at night, so many people are not sleeping right now.
Before Ji He could come up with any solution.
A familiar prompt tone from the system came to my ears.
[Hello, I will borrow another 50 billion from you. The support game is about to begin. Please be prepared! ]
【3, 2, 1】
The voice came suddenly. Ji He only had time to take out the mask and put it on his face before his eyes went dark and he was teleported away by the game.
Ji He opened his eyes again and stood outside a small forest.
The temperature around was very comfortable, neither cold nor hot, at least much better than Planet M. Ji He sighed comfortably the first time he arrived here.
This feeling was so comfortable that she didn't want to leave!
Looking around, there was a dense black forest just a few meters in front of me. Even in the daytime, it seemed a little opaque.
Around her were people wearing various short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and some were even shirtless.
"Ouch, it stinks, what's that smell? Don't you know how to take a shower?"
Just when Ji He wanted to continue observing, a pretentious female voice came from the side.
Ji He subconsciously turned his head. Standing next to him was a round-faced girl in a white dress, who was frowning and looking at Ji He with disdain.
Seeing Ji He turning around, he rolled his eyes in disgust.
Ji He: "..."
Come on, this is an exaggeration. This is the clothes she just put on when she woke up. How could there be any smell?
The girl saw Ji He turning around, glared at him and was about to say something else.
A system notification sound came to my ears.
