Su Yao was well aware of the powerful preservation function of the space, which was undoubtedly a major advantage in the process of stockpiling supplies. Therefore, she turned her attention to various cooked foods.
She first went to a highly-regarded local delicatessen, famous for its roast duck. Looking at the golden-brown, glistening ducks behind the glass window, Su Yao saw skin so crispy it seemed you could hear a "crunch" with a gentle bite, and tender, juicy meat with a unique aroma of spices. Without hesitation, she bought all the remaining ducks in the shop, neatly arranging them in the storage space. Thanks to the space's preservation effect, the ducks tasted as delicious as if they were fresh out of the oven.
Next came various braised dishes: braised pig's trotters, braised beef, braised chicken feet, and so on. The braised pig's trotters were stewed to perfection, tender and chewy, full of collagen; the braised beef had distinct marbling, savory and flavorful, every strand of meat infused with the rich flavor of the braising sauce; the braised chicken feet were so tender they fell off the bone with a single bite, their melt-in-your-mouth texture was irresistible. Su Yao stored them all in her space; these cooked foods would add a rich sensory experience to her post-apocalyptic life.
Milk tea was also a key item Su Yao stocked up on. She went to a well-known milk tea shop and ordered a large quantity of milk tea powder, tapioca pearls, coconut jelly, and other toppings from the staff. The milk tea powder had a rich tea and milk aroma, the tapioca pearls were chewy and bouncy, and the coconut jelly was smooth and sweet. She also bought some portable milk tea making tools so that in the apocalypse, as long as there was hot water, she could enjoy delicious milk tea anytime. Su Yao imagined how much comfort a steaming cup of milk tea would bring to her family in the tense post-apocalyptic life.
Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk are indispensable. Su Yao, at a traditional breakfast shop, gazed at the steaming buns in the steamer—some filled with meat, some with red bean paste, and some with vegetables. The meat buns were generously filled, bursting with meaty aroma, and bursting with savory broth when bitten; the red bean paste buns were sweet but not cloying, the delicate red bean paste spreading in her mouth, bringing a sense of pure bliss; the vegetable buns were refreshing and delicious, perfectly preserving the freshness of the vegetables. The fried dough sticks were golden and crispy, each one exuding the unique aroma of fried food. The soy milk was rich and mellow, with a subtle bean fragrance and no trace of beany taste. Su Yao placed a large quantity of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk into her spatial storage. With the space's preservation function, these steaming breakfast foods seemed to have time stood still for them.
Besides these, Su Yao also thought of some convenient foods, such as self-heating hot pot. She bought various flavors of self-heating hot pot, including a spicy one with tender tripe, thick luncheon meat, and plenty of vegetables; the spicy and fragrant broth could instantly ignite the taste buds. There was also a tomato flavor, with a sweet and sour broth paired with smooth noodles and various side dishes, offering a rich and satisfying taste. These self-heating hot pots could quickly solve the problem of meals in the apocalypse, and they could also stay fresh for a long time in the space.
She also collected some instant coffee and tea bags. The rich aroma of instant coffee can quickly refresh a tired person, while the tea bags come in various flavors, such as the mellow black tea, the refreshing green tea, and the fragrant flower tea. Whether it's morning or afternoon, they can provide different beverage options for the family.
While busily stockpiling food, Su Yao mentally planned her meals for the post-apocalyptic world. These cooked foods and drinks would provide her family with energy and satisfaction in different scenarios, allowing them to still savor the beauty of life in the cruel world, and making the safe house not just a refuge, but a home full of warmth and hope. She continued to traverse every corner of the city, not missing any food that could add color to their post-apocalyptic life.
