Listening to Su Dai's words, Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Soil? I know a place with it!"
She remembered that when the heat came before, she had landed on the roof of a building in a jet suit.
There were several flower beds there.
At that time, all the flowers, plants and trees in the flower beds were dead, but the soil was left. Even
if the rainstorm is heavy now, it is impossible for all the soil in the flower beds to be washed out. There should still be some left.
It's just in the form of mud, and it takes some effort to get it out.
"Where?" Su Dai was stunned.
It's raining heavily outside now, and everything that can be flooded and can't be flooded is under the water surface of dozens of meters.
"The roof of our building." Jiang Yan pretended to be mysterious and pointed upstairs.
Su Dai was even more surprised: "Roof?"
She was actually quite puzzled about Jiang Yan moving to the Repulse Bay community, and now the latter has been to the roof, which makes her even more puzzled.
Although this is not a big deal.
"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded. "You can go up and take a look. There are several flower beds upstairs. The sides of the beds are quite high and the drainage is good. The rain washed away some of them, and there should be some left."
In fact, she knew that the heavy rain would stop for a day or two before the extreme cold came.
That would be the best time to get the soil.
But there is a problem. It takes some time for vegetables to be edible from planting.
In addition, in the current situation, seeds are precious and must be used sparingly.
Therefore, the bigger the vegetables grow, the better.
And getting the soil back now is also a race against time with God.
"Okay, we'll go up and take a look tomorrow." Although Su Dai still had some doubts in her heart, she didn't ask too much.
On the other side, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing had already cleaned up the dining table.
There was an alcohol stove on the dining table, and a shallow pot was placed on it.
There should be processed food in the pot, and the lid was covered.
As the alcohol stove heated the bottom of the pot, the tempting aroma spread out little by little.
It smelled like spicy grilled fish.
Even though Jiang Yan had no shortage of various delicacies recently, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Sun Jingtao put the last pair of chopsticks in place and said, "Okay, wife, you and Jiang Yan can come and take a seat."
"Let's go, Jiang Yan, let's try Xiaoye's cooking." Su Dai pulled Jiang Yan back.
Over there, Tian Jiliang, Ye Qing, and Sun Jingtao sat on each side.
"Haha, I'm the oldest here, so I'll be thick-skinned and sit in the main seat alone." Tian Jiliang laughed.
When he laughed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes almost pinched a few mosquitoes to death.
Jiang Yan was not pretentious and went to sit next to Ye Qing.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Sun Jingtao lifted the lid of the pot.
The steaming mist and the spicy and fragrant smell instantly overflowed.
"Gulp gulp~" The pot has expanded.
It is indeed grilled fish.
To be precise, it is Shancheng grilled fish.
In conventional cooking, tilapia or grass carp are usually marinated with salt, cooking wine, and five-spice powder, and then put in the oven to bake the fish until the surface is browned.
After the first bake, the side dishes such as onions, cabbage, lettuce, lotus root, bean sprouts, etc. are washed and cut and placed under the baking tray, and then the baked fish is placed.
Finally, the special hot sauce is added with peppercorns, green and red peppers, etc. and fried separately, and poured on the fish and side dishes.
Add a little soup, slowly simmer over low heat or continue to bake in the oven.
Finally, sprinkle with green coriander, red pepper shreds, fried peanuts and other embellishments.
What you see now is a minimalist version of grilled tilapia.
Because the fish body is relatively large, the fish head and tail were taken away separately, and the remaining fish meat was cut into thin slices.
The sauce should be directly used as the spicy hot pot base, with some dried chili and peppercorns fried together.
To Jiang Yan's surprise, she actually saw fresh bean sprouts and onions in it, as well as some tofu skin, kelp, and mushrooms.
The latter three are all dry goods and can be eaten after soaking in water.
"Oh my God, this is too fragrant!" Jiang Yan couldn't help but praise.
Ye Qing next to her heard the words, looked at her with his eyes, and smiled awkwardly like a big boy.
"That's right, our Xiaoye's product must be a famous product!" Su Dai raised her face with some pride, and while speaking, she picked up a piece of fish meat for Jiang Yan.
Immediately, she also picked up a large piece for Tian Jiliang's bowl.
Although the light in the room was not good, Jiang Yan could still see that the fish was well cooked.
The outside was crispy and golden, the fish meat was bright white and tender, and the spicy and fragrant seasoning made people salivate.
Although this fish is a mutant, I don't know if it has eaten some strange things.
But now, it's good to have food and drink, and no one will care about those.
Jiang Yan didn't reject it.
After all, if she wants to survive in such an environment in the future, she will always have to step out of her personal comfort zone.
This comfort zone naturally includes daily diet.
"The key is onions, tofu skin, mushrooms, and fresh bean sprouts! Oh my! This meal is simply the most delicious feast I have ever eaten in my life!" Tian Jiliang also praised it.
He used to be an investment director in a listed company. He had a lot of high-end business entertainment on a daily basis, and he had eaten countless delicacies from mountains and seas.
This meal of grilled fish is really nothing on weekdays.
The ingredients and seasonings are not fresh.
The water used to cook the fish was also rainwater.
It was just that Sun Jingtao and his team made a simple water purifier and filtered it a little.
But at the moment, when some people are hungry, it can really be regarded as the best delicacies from the mountains and the sea.
"I haven't eaten well in the past few months. Today we can get together for a rare occasion, so I thought of going all out and being extravagant." Su Dai said with a grin, and passed a piece of fish to Ye Qing.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is this! It's rare for us to get together today, let's drink a little!" Sun Jingtao said, picking up a bottle of super ordinary sake from under the table.
When they went out to look for supplies these two days, they happened to find an employee restaurant inside a bank in a high-rise office building.
They found a lot of good things inside.
Although most of them were spoiled in the high temperature, they still brought back everything they could.
Although Tian Jiliang was a little greedy for wine, he still said:
"Now the weather is getting colder and colder. This white wine is good. Do you want to keep some?"
"No, let's drink it today! It's a rare day to be happy. Let's drink some now and warm up together!" Sun Jingtao said, taking out a disposable paper cup and pouring a little for everyone.
Jiang Yan is actually not used to drinking white wine.
But she didn't refuse.
The main thing is to participate.
"Cheers!" Sun Jingtao raised his glass first.
"Cheers!" The few people were naturally beaming with joy.
The white wine was imported, and unlike what Jiang Yan expected, she seemed to have drunk a sip of water.
The taste of alcohol was gone long ago, and it was bland.
