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

When Xu Qingzhi woke up in the morning and saw that the boss was not training but doing housework, how could he not be dumbfounded? He even forgot to control his expression for a while.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little..." Just a little surprised.

Xu Qingzhi didn't dare to say the last half of the sentence and could only swallow it back into his stomach.

Ye Ziqiu was the second one to get up. Apart from playing a role similar to that of a forward attacker in the team, the most important thing was probably to manage the stomachs of these big men. After all, she was the only one among all the people here who didn't burn down the kitchen.

"Aokiji, you got up so early? Are you cleaning? Then I'll go with you..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Chen Yanxi who was taking down the curtains neatly at the windowsill. As if he had a sudden myocardial infarction, Ye Ziqiu's reaction now was exactly the same as Xu Qingzhi's just now.

"Captain, good morning." Ye Ziqiu, who was seven points sleepy, suddenly woke up six points. The smile on her face became a little embarrassed. She could only awkwardly turn her gaze to Xu Qingzhi on the side. Her eyes were full of confusion as to why Chen Yanxi appeared in the living room so early in the morning and seemed to be doing housework?

"Don't look at me, I don't know either. The captain was already in the living room when I got up." Xu Qingzhi responded in a low voice.

Although Ye Ziqiu was puzzled, he still spoke tactfully: "Captain, how about I ask Liu Hun and the others to get up? Today is New Year's Eve, and it stands to reason that everyone should work together. Besides, the villa is so big, how can we clean it with just a few people?"

"

"It's nine forty-five now. Go and call them. It's just in time for lunch after cleaning." Chen Yanxi nodded, but his hands did not stop moving. In a few moments, the entire set of curtains was removed, and the sunlight immediately poured in from outside.

"Wow, there's actually some sunshine today. Looks like this year's New Year's Eve is a good sign." Xu Qingzhi looked outside at the azure sky that could be seen through the dispersing dark clouds, and felt more relaxed than ever before.

"By the way, captain, it's rare that everyone can have a rest on New Year's Eve this year. I want to go out to buy some vegetables. Fang Tang told Liu Hun last night that there must be meat. I remember there is beef and ribs in the refrigerator. As for vegetables, the winter melon and pumpkin I bought last time are still frozen on the balcony. I'll go out to see if there's anything else to buy. Let's try to make seven or eight dishes. After all, it's New Year's Eve, and everyone has to eat well." If it were any other time, Ye Ziqiu would not have the patience to prepare so many dishes, but when she thought about having just completed a big task a few days ago and this year being the first time she could rest on New Year's Eve, her mood improved and she planned to cook to reward her teammates.

"By the way, I'm going to a friend's house for dinner tonight, so you don't have to count my share. You can buy more food. Liu Hun and Fang Tang have big appetites. Also, the higher-ups decided to give you bonuses for this mission last night. I'll transfer the points to your cards in a while. Also, I transferred 2,000 points on your phone last night. Buy more when you go out to buy food so you can eat better during the New Year."

I don’t know if it was Ye Ziqiu’s illusion, but I always felt that the captain seemed to be much softer today.

"Are we going to Miss Gu's house?" Ye Ziqiu asked pretending to be indifferent, but her smile was full of curiosity.

Chen Yanxi had no intention of hiding anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, there are a few friends."

"Oh~~~Is that so? Then I get it. Miss Gu's cooking skills are impeccable. Didn't she send us meat buns last time? Those hungry wolves ate all of them in less than a day. I also wanted to try making buns myself later, but unfortunately the flour either wouldn't rise or the meat filling had a weird smell. Anyway, they weren't delicious at all. I really envy you for having such a good meal." Ye Ziqiu usually didn't praise people easily. For one thing, she had a rather arrogant personality. Secondly, she had been hanging around men for many years and had a rather hot temper. But after seeing Gu Tongwan's abilities, she was really impressed by her calmness and decisiveness when she killed the mutant beast. Secondly, her cooking skills were so good that Ye Ziqiu's stomach was now completely conquered.

In fact, Ye Ziqiu had discussed the captain's emotional issues privately with several other members of the team. From all aspects of analysis, Miss Gu was more than qualified to be their captain, and the boss might even think she was marrying above her station. After all, young women who were beautiful, capable, able to buy a house in the base and financially independent were rare these days. They were much better than those white, rich and beautiful women who relied on their family background but had empty heads, or those vases who only thought about relying on men for pleasure.

If the captain really gets together with Miss Gu in the future, they might be able to eat with them often. After thinking of this possibility, everyone agreed and planned to strongly assist the captain in winning the beauty.

Ye Ziqiu moved quickly. He ran to the doors of Fang Tang, Liu Hun and others and knocked frantically. When Liu Hun, who was yawning and had a messy hair, opened the door, he found a bucket of water and a rag outside.

Just then he saw Ye Ziqiu holding a mop and putting it at the door of Geng Zimo across the street. He frowned and asked, "Hey, wait, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Didn't you see the rag? Hurry up and wash up and get down to work." Ye Ziqiu rolled his eyes at the other person and urged him.

Geng Zimo happened to open the door at this time, and the mop at the door made him unable to react for a long time.

"What do you mean?" Geng Zimo could only look at Liu Hun in confusion.

"What else can I do? Cleaning." Liu Hun shrugged.

"Oh, by the way, today is New Year's Eve, so we really need to clean up well to welcome the new year." Geng Zimo nodded subconsciously. After all, his family had the habit of cleaning on New Year's Eve before the end of the world, so he didn't think there was anything wrong at the moment, until Ye Ziqiu woke up Xuyang and Fang Tang in the same way and pointed in the direction of the living room.

"The captain is in the living room, you better hurry up."

Several people were stunned for about half a minute, and everyone was staring at each other. Finally, Liu Hun was the first to react. Without saying a word, he immediately grabbed the bucket in front of him and ran to the living room.

"Fuck, Ziqiu, why the hell didn't you say so earlier?"

The others who reacted didn't bother to go back and wash up, but grabbed their cleaning tools and started to walk out. As a result, the sleepy Xuyang almost tripped on the ground.

When everyone gathered in the living room, they discovered that the captain, who was always cold and serious, was actually taking down the curtains on the balcony seriously, and was hanging new curtains on hooks one by one and installing the sliding rails.

"You guys do your work well. I'm going out to buy some things." Ye Ziqiu changed his clothes and was carrying a huge canvas bag in his hand. It seemed that he was going to make a large-scale purchase today.

"Where are you going?" Liu Hun didn't dare to walk over to Chen Yanxi. He could only look at Ye Ziqiu and wink at him frantically, hoping that Ye Ziqiu would explain the current situation.

Ye Ziqiu sneered: "Buy food. I have to prepare a lot of things for New Year's Eve this year. You guys should clean up well. Oh, by the way, the captain will not celebrate the New Year with us tonight."

"If he doesn't go with us, where can he go?" Liu Hun had just woken up and his brain was not working as fast as usual, so he blurted out the question subconsciously.

Chen Yanxi, who was standing opposite him, lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves, then said calmly, "Let's go to a friend's house."

Liu Hun was startled, something flashed through his mind very quickly, and then he immediately narrowed his eyes and winked frantically at Ye Ziqiu. Seeing Liu Hun's messy hair and I-shaped vest and trying to look surprised, Ye Ziqiu couldn't help but rolled her eyes, but then nodded.

After his guess was verified, Liu Hun showed a slightly ambiguous smile on his face, and then turned his head and whispered to Geng Zimo: "It seems that our boss's spring has really arrived."

Geng Zimo's mouth twitched, but he thought to himself, "What's the big deal? It's normal for the captain to be in love with Miss Gu. The captain will be 30 in a year, and judging from the fact that the captain has not concealed his feelings for her, it's only a matter of time for these two to be together.

But he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the relationship between the two was progressing well. It was much better than the previous period when their relationship was in a stalemate and could not be broken. During that period, the captain seemed to have put all his bad mood into the mission. When he was killing the mutant beasts, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a layer of coldness and cruelty. Who would not be nervous when performing the mission with him, for fear that he would be punished with additional training after returning if he failed to complete the mission?

Chen Yanxi was in a good mood, and the other members of the team instantly felt that the room was a lot warmer. Ye Ziqiu looked at this group of grown men being cowardly in front of the captain with amusement and helplessness, and finally turned around and left without looking back.

Not long after Ye Ziqiu left, Liu Hun and a few others could only heat up a few slices of toast and eat some sour jam to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, although these grown men were not good at cooking, they were good at housework. When Ye Ziqiu came back at noon, he found that the whole villa had a brand new feeling. Not only had the curtains and sofa covers been replaced, but even the positions of the tables and chairs had been slightly adjusted. The floor looked a lot cleaner, and the kitchen was also clean and tidy.

Ye Ziqiu filled a sack with the things she bought. She was worried that no shops would be open when she went out, but after driving around the nearby business district, she found that many more shops were open than she had imagined. Although the prices of goods sold during holidays were relatively high, she had to buy the things she needed in order to have a good new year.

Not only did he spend all the 2,000 points transferred by Chen Yanxi during this trip, but he also bought things worth more than 2,000 points.

The things bought were mainly meat. I bought nearly 20 kilograms of pork alone, which cost me nearly 1,500 points. I also bought some seasonings, which cost me 400 to 500 points, but in fact they were just a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of oyster sauce, pepper and Sichuan peppercorns. In addition, I bought some vegetables, such as bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms that looked shorter than fingers, five kilograms of cucumbers, three kilograms of winter bamboo shoots, five kilograms of radishes and various vegetables. The portions were not too much, after all, there were five men eating here, and their appetites were all so big. It seemed like I bought a lot, but it was still a question whether I could eat them all until the third day of the junior high school.

Ye Ziqiu felt the pain of spending the points. People like them who were at the upper end of the income scale felt that the money was spent like water and they really couldn't imagine the lives of ordinary residents in the base.

The lunch on New Year's Eve was not that particular. Ye Ziqiu found the last bag of wontons she had made some time ago from the refrigerator. She cooked them all and added two packs of noodles. She simply cut the cabbage into shreds and put them in. She then poured in some dried shrimps and seaweed, which are hard to buy nowadays. After all, seafood is more precious than fresh vegetables nowadays. Unless it is a coastal city, the transportation cost and the amount of seafood supply must be taken into account. This half pound of dried shrimps cost nearly three hundred points, which is nearly half a month's living expenses for inner circle residents. Ordinary people really can't afford it.

After the simple wonton noodles came out of the pot, Liu Hun was the first to pick up a bowl and walked to the balcony. He had fire-related abilities in his body, so he was not worried about the loss of body heat after mobilizing his abilities. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sound of firecrackers not far away, and he felt that the New Year was approaching.

It’s the New Year, when will this damn doomsday end?

Unfortunately, God could not hear Liu Hun's complaints. The sun, which had just come out for a while, suddenly disappeared after two o'clock in the afternoon. The originally clear sky was filled with clouds again.

However, because the snow has stopped, more and more people are flocking to the streets at this time, especially those who want to purchase all the necessary supplies at once before dark.

At present, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the base are still closed, but some shops that want to turn around their profits and losses during the holidays are still open.

The New Year atmosphere is not strong this year, but the Spring Festival is engraved in the bones of the residents of Country H. It is also the most important festival of the year. As long as everyone survives, they are trying their best to have a good Spring Festival.

Compared with the bustling Spring Festival some time ago, this year is indeed a little quieter, but there are still many people pouring into the shops to buy things, especially in the fresh food area. Although there are only frozen meats, the price of pork has even soared to nearly 75 yuan per catty, which is a significant increase from the 50 yuan per catty before the extreme cold.

In addition to the restaurants that are open for business, there are also some shops selling fireworks, mainly small-sized fireworks. Fireworks with slightly stronger power are not allowed to be set off in the base, especially in the inner circle. One reason is the fear of causing fire accidents, and the other is the fear that someone will use firecrackers to make homemade artillery shells. Moreover, fireworks are a luxury item. Ordinary fairy wands can be sold for one hundred points per box, and there are only twenty in a box. How can an ordinary family be willing to spend that money to let their children play with them?

The gradually bustling commercial street returned to its original deserted state after six o'clock in the afternoon. All the shops began to pull down their shutters, and people on the street wrapped their clothes tightly and hurried home, because there was always someone willing to wait for them at home.
