Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 403

On the terrace on the second floor of the villa, the cold wind was howling and snowflakes were flying.

Zhou Shuwan was wearing comfortable and warm home clothes, holding a cup of steaming brown sugar ginger tea in his hand. He looked at the base covered with ice and snow in the distance, recalled his past life, and felt a lot of emotion.

Qi Mingyu came out of the house, holding a thick blanket in his hand. He gently draped it over Zhou Shuwan's shoulders and said softly, "You've been afraid of the cold since you recovered from your illness. Why don't you wear more clothes?"

Zhou Shuwan turned around and smiled at him: "It's okay, I feel much better today."

She had her period yesterday, so she has some abdominal pain today.

She took a sip of ginger tea, and the warmth spread from her stomach, dispelling the coldness in her body.

Qi Mingyu knew her problem, so he sat down next to her, and patiently placed his warm big palm on her lower abdomen.

Zhou Shuwan naturally leaned on his broad shoulders, staring at the icy and snowy world outside in a trance.

"What are you thinking about?"

Zhou Shuwan said: "I was wondering, what's happening with that prophet now?"

According to Qi Mingyu, the "prophet" did not live very long in her previous life, so she did not give many "prophecies".

"She must have been sent to the capital. But I don't know the specific circumstances." Qi Mingyu was also worried about his comrades and teachers.

"When we were traveling south, I discovered that all the troops we were stationed with were gone. I guess it was because of the emergency and they were urgently transferred to the capital or other places for rescue."

So they left in such a hurry that they left behind some large weapons, which were picked up by the local cannibal gang.

"I heard from Xiao Xiao that our contact with the north has been completely cut off. In fact, since the acid rain protection suits were not delivered two years ago, our contact with the north has become much weaker, and many messages have not been delivered in time." Qi Mingyu said slowly.

Zhou Shuwan was at the bottom of society in his previous life and knew nothing about these situations, so he was also at a loss and could only guess: "Maybe something happened."

Qi Mingyu nodded: "It's possible."

Zhou Shuwan asked, "How do we usually contact the higher-ups?"

Qi Mingyu said, "At first, the radio waves were still usable. Later, probably because the Earth's magnetic field was also damaged, they stopped communicating and instead sent people directly. However, the risks on the road were too great. Every time someone was sent down, it was usually the military. Especially when distributing things like air-conditioned clothing, cacti, and mutant potatoes, they would send out dozens of large trucks loaded with large weapons. This year, we were all in the new base, and it seems that there was no contact from J City anymore."

This matter is also a huge stone weighing on Xiao Xiao's heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I just got here and heard Mom say she wanted to take some time to make more food, so I wanted to ask how much supplies you have left in your space."

This topic was too heavy, so after a few words, Qi Mingyu changed the subject and asked her.

Zhou Shuwan said, "When we were steaming buns that day, I looked through the space. Most of the food we made during the flood has been consumed. We didn't eat much of the takeout, so there's still a lot left."

"Okay, then let's replenish these cooked foods."

Now that he had something important to do, Zhou Shuwan felt much more energetic.

In the last few years of the world, all the meals prepared during the flood season were almost eaten up, and there was even more leftover from takeout.

However, the space is kept fresh, so there is no need to worry about food spoiling.

Let’s deal with the meat first.

Zhou Shuwan directly released two pigs from the space. She had specially paid the seller to clean the pork before harvesting it.

So the two pigs were cleaned quite cleanly and did not require much effort to handle.

She placed the pork in the yard to avoid Grandma Pang and Mu Mu, using the excuse of exchanging supplies with other people in the base.

Although they were a little shocked that there was such fat pork to eat at this time, Mu Mu had long learned the habit of not asking questions and just focusing on his work. Grandma Pang was also used to having meat in her meals every day, so she was not too surprised that someone could raise a pig in such weather.

The family then divided the work clearly and prepared to work.

Zhou Jianghai and Qi Mingyu were responsible for cutting and chopping bones.

The fire was burning brightly, making crackling sounds and lighting up the entire yard, while Mu Mu was helping to add firewood.

He is now very experienced in adding firewood quickly and efficiently.

Zhou Shuwan, Zhong Tiyun and Grandma Pang were responsible for stewing the meat and bones.

All parts of the two pigs were processed into cooked food.

Braised pork, hawthorn fermented bean curd pork, clear-boiled spare ribs, sweet and sour spare ribs, twice-cooked pork, boiled pork slices, etc. are all stewed and fried in large pots.

Zhou Jianghai likes to eat pig intestines, so Zhong Tiyun cleaned the pig intestines, took out half of them and fried them with Sichuan pepper, which was fragrant and spicy, and used the remaining half to make sausage and dry it before eating.

The pig blood is also cut into pieces and stir-fried, then put into pots.

Nothing is wasted, including pig hearts and livers.

Grandma Pang is a master cook and is very good at making pig's head.

She marinated, blanched and washed the remaining two large pig heads, then put them into clean water together with the skulls and boiled them, skimmed off the foam, and cooked them until they were half cooked.

After it cools down a little, cut it into chess-piece pieces with a knife. Pour the soup into a bowl and let it settle for later use.

Put another clean pot on the fire, add sugar and stir-fry until it turns into sugar color.

Then put the clarified soup into the pot, add the pork head, and add sugar color, soy sauce, sugar, refined salt, and Shaoxing wine to adjust the color.

Then put star anise, pepper, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, green onion and ginger into a gauze bag, tie it up and put it into the pot, and simmer the pig's head meat over low heat until it is crispy and tender.

Finally, simmer over high heat until the sauce thickens.

The pig head meat made in this way is rosy in color, fragrant, glutinous and mellow, moderately salty and sweet, and fat but not greasy.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuwan received a lot of seasonings in the space at that time, so he couldn't make so many

These days, the Zhou family villa was filled with the rich aroma of meat, and the whole family ate their fill and felt very satisfied.

The whole family also loves to eat roujiamo, so Zhong Tiyun specially selected pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat, weighing more than 30 pounds. After boiling and chopping it, she mixed it with green peppers and seasonings. Zhou Jianghai used his great strength to chop the meat into fine pieces. When eating, she could just put it directly in the sesame seed cake or white steamed bun.

"It smells so good!" Mu Mu said incoherently, holding a roujiamo in his hand and eating until his mouth was full of oil.

Zhou Shuwan looked at him with a smile. Watching people eat delicious food was also a kind of satisfaction.

Grandma Pang looked at the happy family, her face full of happy smiles: "This is what life should be like!"

Zhou Jianghai also smiled and nodded: "Yes, it has been a long time since the house has been so lively."

It’s like Chinese New Year.

Although making delicious food is hard work, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction you get from it is incomparable.

Qi Mingyu picked up a roujiamo and handed it to Zhou Shuwan: "Try it, it tastes good."

Zhou Shuwan took the roujiamo, took a bite, and the delicious gravy spread in her mouth. She squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Hmm, it's delicious! Mom, your cooking skills have really gotten better and better since you learned from grandma." Zhou Shuwan gave Zhong Tiyun a thumbs up.
