Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

After drinking the herbal tea, Yang Mei felt instantly more comfortable. Although she couldn't fully recover in a short time, at least she felt much better than before.

"Who gave us this herbal tea?" Yangmei didn't hear what Liu Jinde said before, so she could only ask again.

"Doctor Gu gave it to me. I went to her house this morning to install an air conditioner. He gave me and Lao Ji a bottle each, and asked me to give you two bottles. It was supposed to be colder, but it was too hot on the road, so it's not so cold now. But it's herbal tea after all. Lao Ji and I drank some at her place, and we felt much better after finishing it."

Liu Jinhua took the remaining half bottle of herbal tea, put it close to her nose and took a quick sniff. A strong scent of Chinese herbal medicine hit her nose.

"It is indeed herbal tea. It seems to have honeysuckle and Imperata root in it. Wanwan is really willing to put in the ingredients. The taste of this is stronger than the one prescribed by the health center. Last time, the family next door was making herbal tea outside and put such a big bag of stuff in it. In the end, there were not many kinds of real herbal tea. They were all the cheapest plantain, and the price was very expensive."

Not only that, Liu Jinhua found that there was a layer of water droplets on the outside of the plastic bottle, and it felt a little cool to the touch. It turned out that it was specially chilled. No wonder Yangmei felt instantly relieved after drinking it. Drinking a sip of ice water in this weather is indeed refreshing.

Liu Jinhua was a straightforward and efficient person. After noticing this, she immediately poured out three more bowls of rice. She asked Erbao, who was sitting aside with no energy, to drink one of the bowls directly.

Erbao, who had originally refused to drink the herbal tea, took a sip when Liu Jinhua's face gradually darkened. The tea did not taste as bitter as he had imagined, and was even a little sweet.

In fact, Gu Tongwan not only added mountain herb and Gotu Kola to this herbal tea, but also other herbs like honeysuckle and Imperata root, which is similar to the "heat-reducing tea" he had drunk in the herbal tea shop before. It can properly remove heat and relieve summer heat, and appropriate amount of rock sugar is also added to it, so that the herbal tea will taste slightly sweet and not too bitter.

Erbao licked his lips, then immediately raised his head and smiled, "Grandma, it's so sweet." Without waiting for Liu Jinhua to urge him, he drank a big bowl of herbal tea.

After seeing her precious grandson finish drinking, Liu Jinhua was satisfied and handed the remaining two bowls to her husband and son respectively.

"You two, you sweat a lot at home, and you are the only pillars of the family, you can't fall down, so drink quickly."

Zhang Mingguo, who always listened to his mother, drank a bowl of herbal tea readily. Zhang Youfan next to him also quickly drank it. The herbal tea was indeed sweet, and the remaining bit of icy taste relieved the heat in the body as soon as it was consumed.

"Mom, you've worked hard, drink it quickly, we've all drank, only you are missing."

Yang Mei saw that Liu Jinhua seemed reluctant to drink it and had even tightened the bottle cap, so she guessed that Liu Jinhua was reluctant to drink it and wanted to keep it for them. So she advised again: "Mom, the herbal tea can't be kept for too long. Wanwan asked uncle to bring it to us because she wanted us to drink it quickly. If it is kept for too long, we don't have a refrigerator at home, and it will easily go bad in this weather, and then Wanwan's kindness will be wasted."

"Yangmei is right. Drink it quickly. Don't be reluctant. There is still one bottle. Let's take care of ourselves first. If it works, spend some money to buy a few packs and bring them back. At this critical moment, don't be reluctant to spend money on things that can be solved. Nothing is more important than the health of your family."

Liu Jinhua glanced at the others and found that everyone was staring at her, so she lowered her head embarrassedly and drank the little herbal tea left in the bottle.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere of the Zhang family, Liu Jinde was inevitably infected. Thinking of his wife and children at home, he smiled and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, I will go back first. Xiaomin is still waiting for me at home."

As soon as Liu Jinde left, Liu Jinhua quickly placed the remaining bottle of herbal tea in the bucket in the bathroom to soak.

There is no refrigerator at home at the moment, so we can only use the simplest old method from the countryside. There is no well water here, so we can temporarily use groundwater that has been connected from the water pipe and left to cool for a while.

At present, the water supply in the base has not been completely cut off, but the water restriction period has been extended for a few more hours. This reminds people of the water and electricity restrictions during the first natural disaster. As a result, many people flocked to the inner circle base government building during the day. Some of them were bribed by homeless organizations outside the base to deliberately cause trouble. They originally wanted to incite the emotions of the residents and even made homemade banners. However, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the base government, a group of people stood there for more than ten minutes and could not stand the heat. In the end, the crusade against the base turned into an online melee.

The base issued a notice in the afternoon of the same day, stating that the time for restoration of the power and water supply in the base is uncertain, but the power will not be completely cut off. The water source is also drawn from groundwater, and the current water restriction is also for long-term development.

Although everyone is still worried, there is no better way at the moment. We can only follow the government's requirements and do our best to cool down and prevent heatstroke in hot weather.

However, in order to appease the emotions of the residents of the base, the base will launch discounted herbal tea supply points in the next half month. As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a huge response in the base forum, and currently there are mixed opinions.

Out of curiosity, Gu Tongwan also opened the base forum that night to check out related posts and opinions, but he had to fill his stomach first.

It was past five in the afternoon, and it should be the time when every household was preparing for dinner. There was water supply at this time, so there was no need to worry about water supply. The two water tanks in her space would soon be used. She had asked Liu Jinde to build a two-layer shelf with cement in the rightmost corner of the yard to place the water tanks. It was about three square meters, just enough to hold a 1000L water tank.

Currently, the water price at the base is relatively high, with each cubic meter of water costing about 30 credits. It is not so bad in winter, but in summer, even if a family of three saves water, they will still use at least 7 or 8 cubic meters of water a month. In the end, it will cost at least 200 credits.

Although the price of water has always been complained about, the only water source currently available to the base is groundwater, so water charges have always been higher than electricity charges. The reason for the restriction on electricity use is still the influence of high temperatures, and there are concerns that the power supply station will not be able to bear the load if electricity is used for a long time.

Yesterday, after Liu Jinde brought her some herbal tea, he also mentioned the Zhang family's affairs to her. Only then did Gu Tongwan know that Yang Mei had also suffered from heatstroke. Fortunately, the herbal tea was delivered in time.

As soon as Liu Jinde hung up the phone, Zhang Youfan called in person. His words were full of gratitude. At the end, he did not forget to remind Gu Tongwan not to "leak money" too much, otherwise he would easily be targeted by some people.

Gu Tongwan was not worried about this. Firstly, she lived in the inner circle close to the villa area. There were many richer people here than her. Even a little home appliance and herbal tea could not compare with the rich and powerful who were swimming and drinking champagne in the garden of the villa. Secondly, the Self-Defense Forces were patrolling here at any time, and if anything happened, she could call the police immediately. Thirdly, there were "vicious dogs" and blood vines in her yard. Anyone with bad intentions would probably never come back.

The weather was hot, and Gu Tongwan didn't want to cook at night. Instead, she wanted to eat the desserts she made, so she ran to the food area of ​​the space to see if there were any other ingredients that could be used to make delicious food.

You know what, she actually found a lot of good materials.
