There are other towns nearby, but they are smaller and not as big or bustling as the city center.
Although it's not as bustling as the city center, it's not barren either. It has everything you need, and you can find some daily necessities if you want.
The Chaoyang team is going to explore the nearby towns. They've been in Yingzhou for so long, but haven't seen the surrounding areas yet.
I went today on the side, skiing along the slopes, and it didn't take long to get there.
"How much longer?" Tian Tian asked Shao Jie, who was skiing ahead of her, as she skied on the snow.
Shao Jie was indeed fast; he disappeared in a flash. A little while later, he was seen returning.
"It's not far now, just ten more minutes."
Upon hearing that there were only ten minutes left, everyone sped up and tried to get there as soon as possible.
Arriving early means you can rest earlier and eat earlier.
I've been tired all morning and am starving.
We sped up and arrived at our destination ahead of schedule.
Looking at the city shrouded in white snow ahead, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
No one doesn't want to go home.
They may not have a home now, but that doesn't stop them from feeling happy when they see a house.
"Ah, we've finally arrived. Let's quickly find a place to rest." Tian Tian was tired and just wanted to find a place to sit down and rest as soon as possible.
Shao Jie pointed to a building 300 or 400 meters ahead and said, "Look, there's a big building over there. Let's rest there."
"Okay."
Without further ado, everyone started skiing again and headed towards their destination.
"Everything underneath is buried."
Everyone is now standing in front of this building, looking up at it.
The first and a half floors of the building were buried in snow, and we couldn't even tell where the doors and windows were.
Right now, only the top 11 and a half floors are visible.
"How do I get in?"
The first floor is now buried, and only the second floor is accessible.
The second floor is half buried now, so it's not easy to get in.
"Xiao Peng, make a way for us to go in and take a look."
"good."
Xiao Peng agreed and raised his right hand to unleash his supernatural power...
Then everyone saw the earth-based power gradually build up from the snow, forming steps that slowly ascended until they reached a window on the third floor.
The window was still intact. Yu Yanbin first went up the steps to the third floor and drew a circle on the glass window with his right hand.
He had just finished drawing when he saw that piece of glass fall down, but Yu Yanbin caught it.
The circle is right in the middle of the glass window, with a diameter of more than 1 meter, just wide enough for a person to squeeze through.
Seeing that Yu Yanbin had already gone inside, Shao Jie and Xiao Peng followed him in one after another.
Watching them go inside, Cheng Shaolin pulled Li Xiao along and followed them up the steps.
Once everyone was inside the building, they began to look around.
"It looks like this is an office building."
"Yeah, whatever. Let's find a place to rest first."
"Okay, that should do the cleaning."
Everyone pitched in, and in no time, the small floor was cleaned up.
Li Xiao then took out some things: a table, chairs, a stove, and some food to eat.
Let's have hot pot.
Tian Tian excitedly pulled Shao Jie over, saying, "That's right, if we don't eat hot pot at this time, it will get cold very quickly."
Li Xiao nodded. It was too cold. If we couldn't make anything else, we could only eat iced food.
Let's all help out. It's getting late, and everyone's hungry. Let's cook something and have something to eat as soon as possible.
It's actually quite simple. The broth is prepared beforehand, so you just need to wash the vegetables you want to cook and then you can eat them.
"Take these over and wash them."
Li Xiao handed Tian Tian a basket of green vegetables, and then handed another basket to Shao Jie behind her.
Xiao Peng, who came over later, took the bowl of meat that Li Xiao handed him and went to the side to start cutting it.
"What about me? What about me?" Zheng Yongnian saw that everyone else had work to do, but why didn't he have any when he came over?
Li Xiao chuckled, "Yes, yes. I have them all. Here you go."
He handed him a basket of radishes, and Zheng Yongnian left happily.
Meng Yang chuckled and walked over to wait for his task to be assigned.
Li Xiao handed him another basket of seafood, which Meng Yang carried away.
Yu Yanbin, who was talking to Cheng Shaolin, also came over to wait for something. When he saw the seafood, he stopped talking and smiled as Li Xiao handed him a basket of crabs.
"nice one."
He happily squatted down to the side and started washing and scrubbing.
Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao with a smile, "What about mine?"
Li Xiao smiled and pulled him aside, pointing to the large stove there and saying, "This is yours."
Cheng Shaolin smiled and shook his head, then obediently pulled over a chair and started a fire.
This big stove is for steaming rice, not the small stove we'll be using for hot pot later.
Vegetables alone won't keep you full; you still need to eat rice.
Qiu Fengyu came over and started peeling potatoes with Li Xiao. Potato slices are delicious in hot pot, and Li Xiao likes them.
With so many people, there will definitely be a lot of food.
Chinese cabbage, garland chrysanthemum, bok choy, potatoes, radishes, sliced meat, seafood, and crabs—there's plenty of food.
Cheng Shaolin had rice cooking in a pot, and it was already steaming. There was firewood burning under the stove, and it was just waiting for the steam to rise before it was ready to eat.
The hot pot was bubbling and ready to be cooked. Xiao Peng first put in radishes and potatoes, which would need to cook for a while.
It was already 2 p.m., and the sky wasn't very bright.
The wind was still howling, and the chill hadn't lessened at all.
A group of people sat around the small stove, waiting for their meal.
Each person has a large bowl of rice, and the hot pot contains radishes, potatoes, meat, and blanched vegetables.
"Is it ready? Everyone, eat up, we're all starving."
At Yu Yanbin's command, everyone reached for the pot with their chopsticks.
"Mmm, delicious."
"Hiss, so spicy. Delicious."
Men are generally not afraid of spicy food, and Li Xiao can eat it, but she still finds it too spicy.
Tian Tian is even worse than her; she can only eat a little bit of spice.
But hot pot isn't tasty if it's not spicy, and it's also not tasty if you don't add chili peppers.
Tian Tian kept eating with her chopsticks while hersing and panting, not slowing down at all.
In cold weather, eating some spicy food helps to resist the cold. Tian Tian knows that eating chili peppers is good for your health.
So now they all make spicy hot pot bases, there's no such thing as a non-spicy one.
Seeing that Tian Tian's lips were red from the spiciness, he knew she was probably really suffering from the heat. After thinking for a moment, he tossed out a basket of cucumbers.
Upon seeing that it was a cucumber, Xiao Peng put down the bowl, quickly got up, picked it up, and began washing it.
Next comes the slapping and smashing of the cucumber. The smashed cucumber is then placed in a bowl, and various seasonings are added.
Salt, pepper, MSG, vinegar, light soy sauce, sugar, two cloves of garlic, a few green chilies, and hot oil poured over it.
Sizzle, sizzle, and a spicy aroma wafted through the air.
"Alright, here, have some cucumber salad. It'll help cool you down."
After mixing the cucumbers, the bowl was handed to Tian Tian so that everyone could take some.
