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

Five-thirty every afternoon is the time to light a fire and cook outside. It is also the busiest time in the aisle. Gu Tongwan took out the gas stove and the beef brisket and tomatoes that had been cut when he bought them from the space, planning to make beef brisket stewed with tomatoes. He was tired of the boxed lunches in the space during this period, and occasionally cooking by himself was another kind of fun.

One pound of beef brisket is enough for one person. Two plump and rosy tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, rock sugar and other ingredients can be searched through the space panel and will appear in front of you instantly.

Soak the beef brisket in cold water for half an hour. During this time, collect the clothes that were hung out to dry some time ago, vacuum the dog hair at home, and mop the floor. Come back to cook when the time is almost up.

Blanch the tomatoes, cut into pieces and set aside. Soak the beef brisket in water to remove the blood, then put it in cold water. Bring to a boil, remove the foam on the surface, and set aside.

Pour oil into the pot, add onion, ginger, garlic, star anise and other ingredients when the oil is hot, then add the beef brisket, stir-fry for a few times, then pour in cooking wine and light soy sauce and stir well, then pour in boiling water to cover the beef, and then slowly simmer for forty-five minutes.

When the beef brisket is almost cooked, take it out. Heat oil in another pan and add chopped tomatoes. After the tomato juice is fried, add a little boiling water and bring to a boil. Pour the beef brisket in and stew together. Add three pieces of rock sugar and a little salt, and continue to simmer on low heat for half an hour.

During this time, she sat aside watching TV, watching an idol drama that had just ended. She frowned as she watched the first encounter between the hero and heroine filled with all kinds of industrial saccharins, and listened to the gurgling sound of the pot of tomato stewed beef brisket.

After the beef brisket was soaked in the thick red tomato sauce, a box of white rice was taken out from the space, the soup was poured on it, and a piece of beef brisket was sandwiched in it. It was soft and tender in the mouth, and the cooking time was just right. The sour and sweet combination of beef brisket and tomatoes was very clever, which made Gu Tongwan finish the whole box of rice in one go.

There is still half a pot of beef brisket left. I plan to put it in the space and add some noodles to cook for breakfast tomorrow morning.

On the other side, at Jiang's house, the sides of the balcony's anti-theft window were blocked with cardboard so that people on the upper floors could not see what was going on in his house. This was because after seeing Gu Tongwan's family do the same, Jiang Chi followed suit and got cardboard to block it the next day.

Jiang Zhi lit the coal on the balcony with cardboard and placed a pot of noodles on it.

Jiang Tian was in the kitchen cutting the bacon that she had saved before, and then opened a sausage and cut it into slices. Then she walked over and put all the meat slices into a bowl, picked some chopped green onions grown on the balcony, added seasonings, and a bowl of ordinary noodles was ready.

While eating noodles, Jiang Tian said, "Brother, we still have six barrels of water left, which can last about two and a half months. The water in the big barrel, basin and bathtub has been almost used up for bathing in this period of time. Next we have to use the sewage at the stairs." Thinking of this, Jiang Tian lost his appetite.

With water resources being scarce, the brother and sister have tried to save water as much as possible, but they have to wade through water when they go out to search for supplies. They are worried about bacteria remaining on their bodies if they don't take a shower. When they don't go out, they can wash once every three days and their hair once a week. Even so, water is still not used sparingly.

"I'll go out with you to scoop some water later. Let's leave it overnight before using the water purification tablets." Jiang Zhi pondered, and then said, "Let's put it in the bottle of our water purifier later. There's activated carbon in it. After using the water purification tablets and filtering it twice, there shouldn't be too much odor when you take a shower or wash your hair."

"Brother, you are awesome. Why didn't I think of this? I thought the machine would be useless after the water supply was cut off."

"Learn more. Life experience is gained through accumulation and learning slowly."

Jiang Tiantian nodded and quickly ate up all the noodles in the bowl, leaving no soup behind. He then said, "We still have five pounds of potatoes for food, which I plan to make into dried potatoes, ten pounds of various dried goods, two large winter melons, three small pumpkins, and a lot of flour. I bought a hundred pounds last time. I only have ten bags of noodles left, but I haven't eaten my box of instant noodles for a while. I also found dozens of boxes of hot and sour noodles recently. If we eat sparingly, we can probably survive for half a year."

Jiang Tian knew very well that being able to store food for half a year these days would make many people jealous, so the brother and sister tried to be as low-key as possible when going out and refused to open the security door on the 16th floor.

Jiang Tian was counting the supplies when she suddenly discovered something very embarrassing: the sanitary napkins were almost used up, but she had not thought of stocking up!

Even if you can do it yourself with cloth strips, the cloth strips are too permeable, and cleaning requires a clean water source, otherwise flooding can easily cause infection below.

So he had no choice but to go to the next door to borrow money. Gu Tongwan saw the little girl's flushed face and understood the purpose of her visit from her hesitant words.

Looking at her with a smile, letting her wait at the door for a while, Gu Tongwan returned to the bedroom

Jiang Tian stood at the door a little awkwardly, and couldn't help but glance into the hall.

In fact, Gu Tongwan’s living room is very simple, with only some basic household appliances and furniture placed on it. However, what is too eye-catching are the two dogs, one black and one white, in the hall.

It seemed like only a month had passed, yet the two dogs at Sister Gu's house had grown a little bigger. Just sleeping there they looked like adult tigers. This made Jiang Tian curious about how good the food the two dogs had been fed.

However, Jiang Tian did not intend to delve into it. After all, everyone has their own secrets. Besides, Sister Gu was her savior, so she was even more reluctant to spy on her.

When Gu Tongwan came back, she was holding a black plastic bag with more than a dozen packages of sanitary napkins for use in different stages. Jiang Tian looked at her in surprise.

"These are the International Women's Day gifts sent by my company." Gu Tongwan still used the same excuse.

"I, I just need to borrow one pack." Jiang Tian bit her lip, feeling a little helpless.

"We don't have much of anything at home, except this thing. You can take it." Gu Tongwan smiled.

Jiang Tian hurriedly thanked him and ran home. After all, the stuff underneath was so sticky that she couldn't stand it.

Seeing his sister rushing out and rushing out again, Jiang Zhi frowned and sat in the living room thoughtfully. He raised his eyes again and saw the cloudless sky. He always felt that there was a brief calm before the storm was about to come.
