Chapter 152 There are sanitary napkins here!
After the old housekeeper helped renovate the wall, he happily took back half a basin of steamed egg custard given to him by Zuo Shan, along with a newly made basin of cassava balls sprinkled with roasted soybean powder.
Before leaving, Zuo Shan repeatedly reminded everyone that the cassava balls should not be eaten all at once, as the elderly have weak stomachs and eating too many at once can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
After the old housekeeper left, Zuo Shan immediately contacted the owner of the scrap metal recycling station and asked them to send 2 tons of rusty scrap metal.
Seeing that she had a large demand, the boss offered her a more favorable price, directly calculating the wholesale price for her: 3 yuan per kilogram. She spent 6,000 yuan for 2 tons, but Zuo Shan felt that the money was well spent.
First, she had Xiaobao install a metal door in the house, with a hidden lock on it. Xiaobao was able to make this kind of metal hidden lock by copying the 3D picture that Mao Li found.
As for the original iris recognition anti-theft lock, it contains extremely complex electronic components, which Xiaobao cannot replicate.
However, they didn't have any valuable items in their house. The truly valuable things were all kept in their spatial locks, which only required ordinary hidden locks.
After the door was installed, a simple drawing was made for the left side, and Xiaobao made a stepped, detachable planting box. This kind of planting box can save space and does not interfere with sun exposure and watering.
When opened, it has a stepped shape on both sides, with each layer being an individual planting box. When closed, it forms a rectangular column. It also has pulleys at the bottom, so it can be easily pushed into the house when the solar radiation is too strong or the temperature is too low.
After tidying up his own yard, Zuo Shan also asked Xiao Bao to repair the broken water pipe at Uncle Wu's house.
Then, we installed a similar metal door at Uncle Wu's house. In the future, the maintenance personnel sent by the authorities can easily modify it into an iris recognition lock, which is not a big problem.
After Uncle Wu and his wife returned, Zuo Shan told the truth, saying that she had unintentionally saved Old Madam Gu. The old lady sent people over to help repair the house, so she asked them to help Uncle Wu's house renovate as well.
Uncle Wu thanked Zuo Shan profusely. Although the authorities would eventually send someone to repair the house, it would take at least half a month.
During this time, the couple had been living in a small shop, where water was inconvenient and it was even more uncomfortable for the two of them to sleep on a small bed. Now that the house has been repaired in advance, things are much more convenient for them.
Aunt Zhou gave Zuo Shan some salt, soap, small packets of shampoo, and a large bag of expired sanitary napkins.
"Little fan, please don't look down on this!"
This happened when your Uncle Wu went to District 40 with a mercenary group. He saw this and gritted his teeth to buy a whole box of it. But when he brought it back, the women in District 48 thought it was too expensive and no one was willing to buy it.
Your uncle got angry and left it for me to use, but I only used half of it before I went through menopause and could no longer use it.
I'd like to sell it at a discount, but I'm reluctant to part with it. It's perfect to give it to you and your sister.
But you'll have to use it sparingly. Opportunities to go to District 40 aren't easy to come by, and even if you have the money later, you might not be able to buy it.
Aunt Zhou was absolutely right, because when Zuo Shan went to the All-Powerful Supermarket, he looked inside and out and only saw a cheap, rough toilet paper; he didn't see a single sanitary napkin.
At the time, she didn't dare to ask the sales assistant, fearing that if sanitary napkins didn't actually exist, her question might arouse suspicion.
Unexpectedly, such a thing really exists in this world. Next time she sees Mina, she will definitely ask her for help to buy more sanitary napkins to stock up and use slowly.
Through this experience, Zuo Shan gained a deeper understanding of this wasteland. It was not truly impoverished to the extreme, but rather the gap between the upper and lower classes was simply too vast.
She originally thought that she would feel a great sense of accomplishment to be able to enter District 48 through her own efforts, but now she finally understands that this is only the first step in a long journey.
The road ahead is long and arduous, and the task is arduous and the journey is far from over.
She didn't ask to enter the legendary central district where everything was normal; she only hoped to squeeze into the 40th district, so she could at least enjoy the exclusive benefits for women—sanitary napkins.
Luckily, she was pregnant when she transmigrated, otherwise she wouldn't know how to deal with her period for the next few months.
Especially now that it's extremely hot and the smell of blood is everywhere, without sanitary napkins, she probably wouldn't even have the courage to go out and scavenge.
Imagine walking a few steps and a few drops of blood dripping out – that scene is truly terrifying!
A pack of sanitary napkins and a renovated house seem worlds apart, completely incomparable, but for Zuo Shan, it was a salvation. Her gratitude towards Aunt Zhou was like a surging river, endless and boundless.
Having obtained the left fan where sanitary napkins existed in this wasteland, he was overjoyed and immediately began thinking about how to prepare a super delicious dish for the old butler.
With eggs and milk, Zuo Shan's first thought was double-skin milk pudding, but to make it, she was missing a little sugar.
Zuo Shan remembered the huge beetroot in his spatial storage; it was time to take it out and boil it into sugar.
Lele is still in the recovery phase of her powers. In order to prevent the plant in her body from taking root and sprouting, she can only continue to spit sesame powder all over her body to keep her in a state of complete paralysis.
Without Lele as her little helper, the only ones who can help her are Maoli and Xiaobao.
She first asked Xiaobao to help her shape an egg beater, and then a super-sized stainless steel pot.
With the help of chestnuts, the large beetroot was quickly shredded, and the shredded beetroot was thrown into the pot and covered with water.
First, bring it to a boil over high heat and cook the beet shreds until soft and tender. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for a full hour.
When the broth thickens, turn off the heat and let it cool. Then, use the metal sieve made by Xiaobao to filter out the beet shreds, keeping only the broth, and put it back in the oven to continue simmering over low heat.
Cook until it becomes a thick paste, then pour it into a tray to cool. When it begins to solidify, cut it into small pieces and continue to dry until it becomes slightly yellow sugar cubes.
As for the shredded beets that were scooped out, they certainly shouldn't be wasted. After drying them, they can be stored away and used as a sweetener in food.
With a whisk and sugar cubes, Zuo Shan immediately began making double-skin milk pudding.
The old housekeeper brought a lot of reindeer milk, enough for the whole family to drink, and he said he even saved some for Madam Gu.
When the boiled reindeer milk cools down, a thick layer of milk skin forms on top. This is pure milk with absolutely no additives.
Make a hole in the milk skin, pour out the milk, leaving the milk skin at the bottom of the bowl. Add sugar cubes and alligator egg whites to the poured-out milk, and whisk repeatedly until foamy.
Filter out the foam, then pour the stirred milk back into the bowl along the side of the bowl, allowing the first layer of milk skin to float to the top.
Cover and steam for 25 minutes, then remove from the pot and let cool. The second layer of milk skin will then form.
A large bowl of double-skin milk pudding was ready. Zuo Shan cut it in half, leaving one half in the space button, ready to send it to the old housekeeper tomorrow.
The other half, of course, went to the family. As usual, it was divided into three portions: Lele sipped one portion through a straw, Xiaobao carefully licked the other portion with his tongue, and she herself ate it in small bites with a spoon.
During this time, baby Achen smelled the aroma and started making "ee-ee-ah-ah" noises. Zuo Shan took a little bit from her own portion and fed it to him. Unexpectedly, the little guy ate it with great relish.
Before I knew it, I had fed the baby two large spoonfuls. The baby still wanted more, but I was sorry, I couldn't give it to him. Babies need to be self-aware; they can't digest too much.
