This saves me the trouble of buying a large water storage tank.
Wash all the buckets before use.
We'll save these ice cubes for when it gets hot and we can drink ice water later.
The wind has blown through the internet several times these past few days. I discovered that online shopping has been suspended.
When asked, the answer was that the courier company had gone bankrupt. No one was delivering goods.
She hates it!
I used to think I had a lot of stuff. Now I realize I'm still missing a lot.
No, that's not right. She should still go into her spatial storage and search carefully. Maybe she's missed something.
...
The vegetables in the space are all ready to be harvested.
Fruits like tomatoes, eggplants, and green beans still need to grow a little longer.
Fruit trees too.
"auspicious?"
"explain."
"If the fruit is ripe but not picked in time, will it rot?"
"meeting."
"ah……"
"If you don't want it, you can let me know."
"...Then, I'll take less vegetables and fruits this time. I'll give you the rest later."
"Um."
"By the way, what happens to the tree after the fruit is picked?"
"After the fruit is harvested, it will enter a dormant period. It will take about 9 months, or 4.5 months depending on the space speed, to flower and bear fruit again. Vegetables will not. After harvesting, the seedlings can be pulled up and replanted. If they are not pulled up, they will flower and bear fruit again after 4.5 months, just like fruit trees."
"How amazing."
"I am indeed very capable."
Fengran found a few plastic baskets and started picking leafy greens. She planned to pick only a quarter of them, which would be more than enough for herself. She would let Jixiang eat the rest first, and then she would plant other kinds of vegetables.
Picking greens is quick. It can be done in a day.
The next day when she entered the space again, the remaining vegetables were all withered. Feng Ran simply pulled up the dead seedlings. The ground had already been turned over, so the soil was still loose. Feng Ran didn't turn it over again.
This time, she plans to plant watermelons and cantaloupes all over this large open space. She has many varieties and plans to plant a few of each.
Dig a hole, throw in the seeds, and cover it with soil.
I planted for another two days.
When I finally finished my work and could take a break, all 100 buckets were filled with ice. Things were already getting chaotic outside.
Viruses today can basically coexist with humans. Even if you get infected, you can be cured.
But the real problem is the lack of food and water.
When I was browsing the news at night, I saw reports of robberies and thefts everywhere outside.
I saw some short videos where people, completely bewildered, would just rob people in broad daylight. If they didn't give it to them, they'd beat them up. This happens all over the country.
No wonder Qi Xie hasn't been keeping an eye on me lately.
Groups of people started robbing residents in the neighborhood. In many places where police couldn't be called, people began to spontaneously organize civilian security teams.
Feng Ran stared into thought as he watched the injured man and the taunting thief in the video.
If the people living in her neighborhood are all honest and kind, that's fine, but if they're all like that mother and son from before, her place will be robbed sooner or later.
Moreover, villa areas are among the easiest places to be robbed, and this suburb is no exception.
"Jinbao...you have to be careful at home! If someone is outside our house, just call out. Mom will know." Feng Ran said as she tossed Jinbao a can.
Now, they use solar generators to store electricity during the day, and then energize the high-voltage power supply on the yard wall at night.
One point can provide protection.
...
End of April.
The outside world is in complete chaos.
The country's grain reserves have also been cut off.
The internet is flooded with posts about where to get food. There are also videos of dead people everywhere, especially ordinary people and the poor.
Those who were still alive were all skin and bones from hunger. Feng Ran dared not go out anymore.
To these people, she looks like this: plump and delicious...
She eats takeout, drinks bubble tea, and sleeps all day. Luckily, she likes staying home. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to stand it.
I'll also check my WeChat Moments when I have time.
Sure enough, the lives of those rich kids remained largely unchanged. Feng Ran could even see many bodyguards in some of the videos.
Just now, she saw a photo of Feng Yingying getting her nails done while drinking a cocktail.
For these college students, the apocalypse might be more comfortable. They wouldn't have to worry about food or drink, and could play all day long without having to go to school or worry about food.
Just as I was looking at the photos, a message came from Wang San San.
He said his grandfather had sprouted a lot of bean sprouts. He wanted to thank her, so he brought her some. He also brought her some tofu.
You know what? It's been so long since I've had this, I'm really craving it.
But she didn't want to stand out!
Everyone is starving right now, and people have to bring us food every few days. What if people start eyeing our food?
[Eat, eat, eat: No thanks. It's too much trouble to send and receive things. Please thank your grandfather for me.] Feng Ran has changed her online name. This was the name the system gave her when she first registered her account. Feng Ran hadn't changed it before. Right now, nothing is more important than food.
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: No trouble at all. I'll deliver it for you.]
[Eating and browsing: Do you know how to make tofu pudding?]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: Yes, I can. My grandfather did this before he got sick. Now my younger brother has taken over. I can basically handle all kinds of bean products.]
[Eat and Shop: Do you still have beans at home?]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: If you hadn't given us rice before, we'd be eating beans now. My brother had a whole warehouse full of soybeans. There are still plenty left.]
[Eat, shop, shop: Trade grains for bean products, one pound for two pounds, want to trade?]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: Are you serious?]
[Eat, shop, shop: Hmm. But I'll give you whatever food I have. Just make sure it's edible. No pick and choose.]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: Okay. Let's change it.] No matter how they change it, they won't lose out. Soybeans are easy to soak before making soy products, and they all contain moisture. Besides, they can't eat beans every day.
[Food and Drinks: 200 jin of soybean sprouts, 100 jin of tofu, 200 jin each of dried tofu, dried bean curd sheets, dried bean curd sticks, and dried tofu. 300 jin of tofu pudding. Do you include condiments?]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: My sister knows how. Do you want it sweet or savory?]
[Let's eat and shop: Half for each of us. When you deliver, be discreet. Don't let anyone know it's food. I'll give you 700 jin of grain. Make sure you pack it tightly when you get home. If anyone finds out and comes looking for trouble, there won't be a next time.]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: I understand! I'll let you know in advance.]
[Eat and shop: Delivery is best done in the evening.]
[Woodworking Machinery Keyboardist: Okay.]
The Wang family moved very quickly.
Anyway, the items were delivered at midnight on the third night.
Feng Ran had someone drive to the yard. Then she quickly closed the gate.
After checking the goods, I took out the food I had prepared earlier.
Two bags of rice, 200 jin (100 kg). One bag of flour, four bags of coarse grains. A total of 500 jin (250 kg). When I checked the goods just now, there were clearly more items than expected. When asked, she said it was Grandpa who sent them to her separately.
Feng Ran was not to be outdone; she added another half bag of millet and a can of milk powder.
"Load the stuff into the car and let's go quickly."
"good."
This time, it was the two brothers who came.
Less than half an hour later, the two drove back.
