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

During the "zero-yuan shopping" event, I found a lot of processed foods in the supermarket, including dozens of packets of white jelly and grass jelly, as well as some water chestnut popping balls and small taro balls. The latter seemed to have been found in a milk tea shop. At that time, the generator of Jiangcheng Department Store was still supplying power, so some shops still had power. These small taro balls and water chestnut popping balls were fortunately not spoiled.

The preparation method of white jelly and grass jelly is very simple. Pour a certain amount of boiling water and stir evenly until the powder is completely dissolved, then put it directly in the refrigerator to cool.

In less than half an hour, it turned into crystal clear but refreshing and chewy jelly and grass jelly.

The small taro balls need to be boiled in water for three minutes, then simmered with a lid on for two minutes. After taking them out, rinse them with cold water to make soft and glutinous taro balls.

The bursting water chestnut beads can be eaten directly. I tried biting one and after it burst, I tasted the fresh fragrance of the water chestnut.

Cut the jelly and grass jelly into pieces and pour them into a bowl. Add the water chestnut balls, coconut milk and fresh milk, and then add crushed ice. A bowl of refreshing and delicious iced taro ball grass jelly is ready.

In fact, a similar method can also add yogurt, or add glutinous rice balls, or add fruits to make a fruit salad, or change it into a refreshing and refreshing dish.

There is nothing more comfortable than eating a homemade iced dessert while sitting in the living room with air conditioning on a hot summer day.

The air conditioner that she originally wanted to install on the second floor was moved to the first floor instead. This was mainly because the heat dissipation on the second floor would be like a furnace once it went down to the second floor. The two extreme temperature differences would make her uncomfortable, so she gave up the air conditioner in the living room on the second floor.

The wall-mounted air conditioner in the bedroom on the second floor is a large one, so the cooling speed is very fast.

When you want to cool down the second floor quickly, you can just turn on the air conditioner in the bedroom, which will also cool down the living room quickly.

I also prepared some chilled pet milk powder for Aoao and Tutu. At first, I was not sure whether the two dogs would like it, but maybe because it was chilled, Aoao and Tutu did not reject it and drank it with great relish.

Pet milk powder is usually goat milk powder. Gu Tongwan could smell the muttony smell of goat milk when she was mixing it. She didn’t like the smell very much, but unexpectedly, the two dogs liked it very much. There were dozens of cans of such pet milk powder in the space, which could be used as drinks or meals for them occasionally.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Gu Tongwan took out a Sichuan pepper chicken leg burger from the space and started chewing on it. On the side was a piece of taro ball and grass jelly that she had made herself. She made a large bowl of it at one time and took out a bowl for herself. If she couldn't finish it, she put it back into the space.

The temperature in the living room dropped very quickly. Originally, the temperature was around 38 degrees Celsius. After the air conditioner was turned on for about 20 minutes, the temperature in the living room on the second floor was 27 degrees Celsius. Although it was not as cool as the bedroom, at least I didn't feel stuffy when wearing short-sleeved shirts, shorts and pajamas.

Gu Tongwan was eating a hamburger while sitting on a long sofa chair with his legs bent and his back leaning against the chair. His knees were resting on a tablet computer, which was playing some variety shows. He would occasionally take a look at it while checking his phone. This way, there was some noise in the living room and the atmosphere was less depressing.

She also liked to do this when she lived alone. No matter what she was doing, she liked to turn on the TV or tablet. Whether she was watching or not, she just wanted to listen to the sounds from TV. It seemed that this would take away some of the loneliness.

Regarding the results announced by the base this morning, the preliminary charging standards for the "Herbal Tea Supply Point" have come out. As one of the projects in the people-friendly policies, the herbal tea is not expensive. One bottle is 1L per three points. Each resident purchases one bottle according to the base's brand name. Those who already have a card swipe record will no longer have the opportunity to purchase. It has been confirmed that the activity will last until the end of the month, which is about half a month.

As soon as this plan came out, it was criticized by many people, and people on the forum were discussing this so-called "herbal tea supply point". However, there were also a small number of base residents who supported it, while some took a neutral stance in judging it.

[Is the base crazy about money? And this is a policy that benefits the people? I have never seen a policy that benefits the people but still charges money.]

[That’s right, three points per bottle? For a family of five, that’s 15 points, which is almost as much as half a day’s wages in the outer circle. It’s hard to find a job now, so charging for everything is too much.]

[The ingredients for making herbal tea were also collected by the Self-Defense Forces from the forest in the north. Currently, the Agricultural Science Academy at the base is unable to grow herbs. Part of the fees collected are subsidies for the Self-Defense Forces members. I am a staff member within the government, so I can be responsible for what I say.]

[The above commentator said that ordinary people should not pay for this part of the money. The government can provide subsidies instead of fleecing ordinary people. ]

[Hey, what's the point of you arguing so much? If you want to drink, just buy it. If you don't want to drink, just pretend you didn't see it. Why make such a fuss? It's a matter of mutual consent. There's no forced buying or selling. ]

[There is no forced buying or selling, but I have a question. The temperature is still high and is gradually rising. Why is the anti-heat herbal tea not sold in pharmacies? Even in health centers, you have to buy it at a high price. If it is really for the benefit of the people, can you consider controlling the price of herbal tea?]

[I agree with the above. My daughter was not feeling well a few days ago and went to the clinic. She was told that she had heat stroke. As a result, I spent more than 200 points to buy a few bags of herbal tea. This is too much of a rip-off.]

Related comments continued on the base forum, and in the end, the server crashed overnight due to too many visitors.

I received a message from Xiaoli in the evening.

[Wanwan, shall we go buy herbal tea together tomorrow? ]

The weather is hot, and the guesthouse may not have resumed normal business yet. Xiaoli is not like Liao Yunyun, who has a regular job and can work in an air-conditioned company. She probably has a very leisurely time these days.

Thinking that she had nothing else to do, Gu Tongwan quickly agreed. She also wanted to know more about this "herbal tea supply point".
