Although Li Xu felt that ginger sugar water had a better refreshing effect, that thing was in other people's cars.
What's more, it is reserved for everyone to use when on night duty.
So he didn't dare drink too much, just two sips.
Liu Gang responded, "Eat it. Peel one and put it in my mouth."
Li Xu took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket, peeled it open and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
Then he took out another candy, put it in his mouth and started eating.
It was pitch black outside, with only the car lights providing some light. After watching the rear end of the car ahead, which was also swaying, Li Xu asked curiously, "Uncle Liu, how long will this drive take?"
"We can keep it open as long as we can."
This answer was really simple and crude. Li Xu was silent for a moment and then asked, "What if we can open it all night?"
"Then we'll open it all night. For us, it's common to open it for two or three days without sleeping."
You're such a boaster.
"I guess we can drive them back in one car."
Liu Gang didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"
"How can they survive driving for two days and two nights without sleep in this condition?"
Liu Gang immediately laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, if they hear this, I'll show you how high you can go."
Li Xu laughed and said, "Don't do that. If something happens, I won't be able to afford it."
The two chatted all the way.
By the time we parked the car it was already past midnight.
Except for a few people who were on duty in the first half of the night, they stayed in the car to eat after pouring some water.
After the others got off the car, they started digging the ground and building fortifications as usual.
Now that it’s cold, the kettle doesn’t keep the water warm, so a master chef prepared a thermos bottle filled with boiling water.
I have to say that everyone in the car team is indeed rich.
We even prepare two kettles for everyone to use.
Everyone knew what was going on, so they poured just the right amount so that others wouldn't be left without hot water.
After filling the bottle with boiled water and getting back in the car, Li Xu took out a rice ball from the bag, then took out another object and handed it over, "Here."
Liu Gang was stunned. After seeing what Li Xu was holding, he hesitated for a moment. "You actually brought eggs too?"
"How can we not eat some good food in this kind of weather? But I didn't bring many with me. If we each eat one tomorrow, it will be gone. Soaking it in boiling water with rice balls will make it a dish. Take it."
In fact, this was handed to him by Hu Guilan after she cooked it in the morning.
They say that the weather will be cold and there will be a lot of things to do in the coming days, so you should take more care of your health.
Li Xu thought about it and took four of them directly.
Even if eggs are cooked, they cannot be kept for a long time. In this kind of weather, they can only be kept for two days at most.
Otherwise it will become raw and you will have to cook it again.
With so many people in the car team, it would be inappropriate to boil eggs, so Li Xu planned to have two eggs each for him and Liu Gang, and eat them in two days.
Liu Gang then took it and, like Li Xu, peeled the eggs and put them in the lunch box.
Then he carefully packed up the eggshells and said, "Then I won't be polite with you. Give me your eggshells and I'll deal with them later."
"What are you talking about? When have you ever been polite to me? Here." Li Xu said as he handed over the eggshell.
Liu Gang put the eggshell into his pocket, checked it again to make sure there were no omissions, and then said, "As a nephew, I will definitely accept this gift from you. Besides, I really don't have the money right now. I'll get you something good to eat after the disaster is over."
It wouldn't matter if you mentioned something else, but if you mentioned something delicious, Li Xu would get excited. "Tell me, what's delicious?"
Liu Gang grinned and said, "Roast goose, you've never eaten it before?"
I ate it in my previous life, but not in this life.
Thinking of the taste of roast goose, Li Xu's mouth almost drooled, "I've never eaten it before. Is goose easy to prepare?"
"That's my business. I'll make sure you eat your fill when the time comes." Liu Gang patted his chest and promised with a solemn look.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Li Xu naturally believed that he had the ability to do so, and besides, the disaster would be over in no time.
After the rice was ready, the two of them quickly finished their meal and then took a rest.
Everyone can only sleep for a short while today, so we can't waste time.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Li Xu suddenly remembered that it was Laba Festival.
I silently said "sign in" in my heart.
"Ding, congratulations on obtaining 30 kilograms of ingredients for Laba porridge and 5 kilograms of mutton. Do you want to collect them?"
The first part is understandable, but what does the sudden appearance of mutton mean?
This thing is different from pork. Pork can just be fried and has no taste.
But the mutton would be wasted if it were cooked that way.
In this kind of weather, it is best to stew mutton soup, or add some radish to make braised mutton.
The taste is so delicious.
It's a pity that the smell is too strong. Not only does it smell when it's being made, but it also smells on your body after you eat it...
Putting the matter behind him and silently repeating "no withdrawal", Li Xu closed his eyes and fell asleep.
They were not woken up until the middle of the night to change shifts. Liu Gang and his companion got up and went to get a pot of ginger sugar water.
I couldn't wait to take a sip, and it really made me warmer in this cold and windy weather.
When I got to the night watch position, I heard Liu Gang whisper, "Keep a close eye on it. I'll deal with the eggshells first."
"Um."
Then Li Xu heard a rustling sound. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Liu Gang digging on the ground with a shovel in his hand.
I couldn't help but say, "Good boy, this is what you call handling?"
"Shut up and focus."
Li Xu stopped talking immediately. Now was definitely not the time to be distracted.
After a while, Liu Gang put the shovel back in place and looked at it carefully.
And so, nothing happened that night.
But the two of them were very cold and shivered as they walked.
Only at this time did Li Xu feel the benefits of ginger sugar water.
Without this thing, it would be fatal.
When it was just dawn, he called the others up.
After a quick wash, everyone started to make a fire and cook.
Li Xu hurriedly picked up a small stool and the food stuff and sat down closest to the fire, enjoying the warmth brought by the flames.
The veterans burst into laughter when they saw this scene. Someone asked, "Xiao Li, have you never experienced this kind of situation before?"
What I mean is, I'm not a coward. Would I go to such trouble at home?
So Li Xu shook his head and said, "I haven't experienced this before. I used to stay indoors when it was cold. I don't know if it was cold or not, but at least there wasn't this kind of cold wind that almost blew into my bones. There wasn't much snow last winter, and the weather wasn't this cold either. Last night was the first time I felt this."
"It's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when it melts. This will probably be the case for the next few days. You just need to get used to it."
