Chapter 162 Terrible (13)
Ling Jiang looked at Lan Jin and asked, "I have pots and spatulas at home, but how do we cook? Do we light the stove?"
There is a stove, but even if we work continuously, we can't make much in a day.
But Lan Jin actually has all of these. "I have a generator in my space, the diesel kind, but it's too loud, and I don't have much diesel, so I want to save it for now. But I bought a treadmill generator, which charges the battery while I run, and then I use the battery to connect it to electricity to cook. I have several induction cookers in my space, and I also have the matching large pots, so I want to use this tool."
The most important thing is that this thing is quiet when used, more than half quieter than a diesel generator. Lan Jin had tried it in the space before, and except for the sound made when running, the rest were normal sounds.
I knew Lan Jin had prepared a lot of things, but I never thought she could prepare so much.
But since you have all of these, you really don’t need to worry about them.
After some discussion, the cooking location was set up in 3201, which was where they made charcoal. All the wood in this room had been made into charcoal, leaving space for them to cook. As for the remaining three empty rooms, they were still full of wood, so they could only use these rooms.
Lan Jin first found a relatively open place and took out the treadmill generator. There was no electricity in it, so Huang Jinghe took the lead in experimenting and charging the battery first.
Lan Jin said, "When I bought it, the person who bought it said that running it for one or two hours would be enough electricity for three meals a day, but I tried it and it doesn't seem to work. So if we want to store food, we'll probably have to take turns running it."
This was no problem for them. Lao Gao said, "I can exercise and get things done at the same time. This thing is great, but I wonder if my treadmill at home can be used this way if I modify it."
"Don't bother with this for now, let's get started."
Since you are eating it yourself, it must be a combination of meat and vegetables.
The vegetables grown in the space do not need to be washed. Just pick them, cut them and put them directly into the pot.
The electric cooker had great firepower, and the three of them were cooking the same dish. After a few pots were cooked, it didn't take long for a large bucket to be filled by one third.
Lan Jin thought that they could do a lot by working together, but she never imagined that they could do so much.
In addition, Grandma Ling also lit two stoves to cook chicken soup and duck soup... These two soups take only 2 or 3 hours to cook, and she will cook pork ribs soup tomorrow... In short, no one is idle.
At the end of the day, almost everyone took turns circling the stove, but they were particularly satisfied when they smelled the aroma. "It smells good. I don't know if it's been too long since I've eaten it or if your ingredients are good, but it smells so good anyway."
Lan Jin said, "The green vegetables are grown in the space. They taste better than those sold outside, but I bought the others in advance. Maybe it's because I asked you to add spiritual spring water when cooking. I also smelled it very fragrant."
Not to mention the dishes, even the pots of soup they cooked were all made with spiritual spring water. Even the chicken and duck... maybe not that good, but after adding spiritual spring water, they could all play a balancing role.
They had been smelling the food here all day and it was really making them feel horny.
For dinner, Lan Jin gave each person a chicken and ate it with vegetables and rice.
Fearing that these people would refuse, she said, "Don't be polite. I only feed you like this because I've been so busy these past few days. It's really unpleasant to smell that smell while we're cooking. It won't be like this anymore."
But don’t they feel good?
The ones who are clearly feeling the worst are those who still live near them.
When they just woke up a few days ago, they smelled the hot pot these people were eating at home. It had only been a few days, and the aroma of the soup was uncontrollable. They had been drooling all day, but they didn't dare to go out because it was not even as safe outside as in the community. Anyone would find this scene particularly miserable as they had to eat the only food left at home.
"We are all human beings. What kind of lives do those four people live? What kind of lives do we live?"
"If you want to eat, just go and rob them, or we can fight together. At worst, we can risk our lives."
"They just saved us, and it's only been a few days, and they're already here to steal our food. And... most importantly, those 30-plus people from before looked tough, but they couldn't do anything to the four of them. The few of us aren't enough to fill their teeth."
"That's right, why would you come here to seek death?"
"But I have doubts about them saving us. Why would they save us? Wouldn't it be better for us to die?"
"But didn't they explain it? The bugs are inside the body, so even after death, they can continue to move. Actually, during that time when my memory was blank, I was briefly lucid... Anyway, I don't think the four of them were lying, and it's not like we didn't see the injuries on their bodies."
"Yes, I've also had brief moments of lucidity. Although I don't have much memory of my insane state, when I was lucid for a short time, I saw that the lethality of others when they were insane was really strong. But even so, they were able to get rid of us. You can imagine how terrifying they are."
"In short, don't be so stubborn. We didn't provoke them in the first place, so why would we provoke them again just because they saved us?"
In short, because of this insect powder incident, the households in the community have united together. Of course, there are only a few people left, so why should they separate? If they live together, wouldn’t their chances of survival be greater?
…
For three consecutive days, they fried all kinds of vegetables at home. On the fourth day, they started to cook meat dishes, such as braised pork, braised pig's trotters, braised meatballs, sweet and sour spare ribs... In short, there was no meat dish that they couldn't cook.
But meat dishes take a long time to cook, several times longer than vegetables. So after three days of hard work, they only managed to make a few buckets of meat dishes, which weren't even full. But for them right now, time was the most important thing. Lan Jin said, "You guys continue cooking the meat dishes. I want to fry some chicken wings and drumsticks for my Qiao Qiao, and make some dog food for my Nana."
"Okay, you do it. Two stoves are enough for cooking. And there's soup. We've been cooking soup for days. We can actually make some other soups that don't take much time."
Lan Jin smiled and said, "Magic soup, I've made seaweed egg drop soup and tomato egg soup for Qiao Qiao. You don't need to boil them, just pour hot water over them."
