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

They asked for leave from Team Leader Du yesterday.

Team Leader Du had already heard about what happened in the community from Wu Bin, who had come to report. He looked the two men up and down and asked, "Are you okay? I heard there were sixty or seventy people, so it must have been quite a scene."

It was not pleasant to hear, but one could still detect a hint of concern in his tone.

Qi Mingyu shook his head: "It's okay, there is a whole community of people to back us up, even if there are casualties in the community."

Team Leader Du frowned, "This world is like this now..."

But he swallowed the rest of the words and said to the two of them, "Return to the team."

Today is the third time the cruise ship has transported water, but the sea has been calm all the way back. The more this happens, the more cautious everyone becomes. Everyone is on high alert, not missing any sign of trouble.

After returning home safely, Zhou Jianghai said to Zhou Shuwan, "Today, Director Wu brought a few young people to take Chen Qiu and her son to the police station."

Zhou Shuwan raised his eyebrows: "What was the sentence?"

Zhou Jianghai shook his head. "The world is in chaos now. The old way of judging is completely useless. Murderers like those who were sent there would be shot straight away! Although Chen Qiu and Dong Xinglong were not directly involved in Tung Chee-hwa's plan, they will inevitably be sentenced to hard labor. The results should be out in the next two days."

Zhong Tiyun also said, "I heard that the forced labor now involves recovering corpses, repairing infrastructure, and dismantling machinery and equipment... They're only given two meager meals a day, and even water is limited. Life is extremely hard. Some people who were sent there couldn't stand it and committed suicide... Chen Qiu and Dong Xinglong, who have lived a life of luxury for so many years, I really don't think they could stand it!"

"Who cares if they can handle it!" Zhou Jianghai said gruffly, "If it weren't for Wanwan and Xiaoyu, we'd be the ones suffering a fate worse than death. If you ask me, if we can find that Tung Chee-hwa, he should be arrested and shot!"

"Who knows where he's hiding? The property management said today that the police station has issued a wanted warrant and will reward 100 kilograms of rice for anyone who provides information!"

That’s quite a lot!

Zhou Shuwan asked, "How's the water pipe today? Is the water flowing strongly?"

Zhong Tiyun and the other two showed an indescribable expression. The former pointed to the kitchen and bathroom and said, "Go and see for yourself."

Zhou Shuwan changed his shoes and went straight to the bathroom to wash his hands.

After taking a look around the kitchen and bathroom, she finally understood why they had such expressions.

In addition to the water tank that he filled when he left home and the bucket in the bathroom, the remaining three buckets, five basins, two pure water buckets, and a large steamer and a soup pot at home were specially prepared by his parents to collect water.

But unexpectedly, all of them are empty now, with only one and a half buckets of pure water filled.

The net content of a pure water bucket is 20 liters, and one and a half buckets is 35 liters of water.

Just drink water, which is certainly enough.

But if you add the daily water consumption of several members of the family for cooking, washing dishes, washing up, washing clothes, mopping the floor, etc., then you definitely have to use it sparingly.

"But it's better than before." Zhou Jianghai sighed. "This is already pretty good. In the past, besides our family, even your grandmother Pang's family was very frugal with water. The water left after washing clothes was used to mop the floor. To save water, your grandmother Pang didn't even use more laundry detergent. After mopping the floor, she used the remaining water to water the vegetables."

"Yeah, we stockpiled so much water back then. Your Grandma Pang isn't particularly frugal. I heard other families reuse water with water purification tablets, saving as much water as possible for washing and laundry."

Zhou Shuwan had also experienced many days of water shortages in his previous life. During high temperatures and droughts, survivors generally lacked water. At that time, things like water purification tablets and filters could be sold at high prices.

People can't even drink water in big gulps, so how can they take care of their personal hygiene?

Later, in order to save water, many men and women simply shaved their heads, and everyone you saw when you went out had a bald head.

Zhong Tiyun came up to Zhou Shuwan and whispered, "Even Mu Mu knows how to save money."

In the evening, I stir-fried a handful of freshly picked sweet potato leaves with a spoonful of lard.

I also used the eggs I had saved over the past few days and mixed them with dough to make golden omelets on both sides.

When Zhou Shuwan and his mother bought the oil, they didn't buy lard. Instead, they bought some fat pigs from their own family and saved the fat. Later, when Zhou's father had time, he would slowly simmer it.

At the beginning, everyone's life was similar, but gradually, the currency became less valuable, supermarket ships disappeared, and people's lives generally became much worse.

Now, after dealing with the Dong and Wei families, the Zhou family pays more attention to food.

Generally speaking, foods with strong smells are not suitable for making at home.

Fortunately, the mornings of the past few months were the family's cooking time. Stewing spare ribs took up seven or eight rice cookers, and the same was true for steaming buns, making dumplings, and boiling lard.

This is enough for them to eat for a while.

Lard is more fragrant than other oils when cooking, especially when stir-frying vegetables. Zhong Tiyun doesn't like to use vegetable oil and prefers to use lard.

The lard they make themselves is snow-white and delicate, and it is extremely fragrant whether used for stir-frying or pancakes.

After the omelet is fried, it is spread with sauce, wrapped with shredded green onions, green peppers, and cucumbers, rolled up, and when you take a bite, you can feel the taste buds dancing on the tip of your tongue.

The vegetables have been planted for two months. With the help of plant lights, they are growing lushly.

In the past few days, cucumbers, beans and green peppers have arrived one after another.

Zhou Jiaguang couldn’t finish all the vegetables that had just been harvested.

Zhong Tiyun specially bundled up the fresh beans and two fresh cucumbers and sent them to Grandma Pang's house downstairs. The latter smiled from ear to ear, and said with a little envy: "The ones I planted are growing too slowly and are still far from being fully grown."

In fact, the reason why the Zhou family’s vegetables grow well is not only because Zhong Tiyun is good at planting, but also because the Zhou family’s vegetables are exposed to plant lights day and night.

It is flood weather now and the temperature is not high, which is not the best environment for the growth of cucumbers, beans, etc.

But where can we find plant lights now?

In addition to egg pancakes and stir-fried sweet potato leaves, there is also a dish of cold cucumber and a dish of cola chicken legs.

After everyone finished their meal to their satisfaction, Zhong Tiyun announced a piece of news: "Wanwan is the only one in the family who has a job now. After thinking about it, I feel that I can't just sit there and eat all the food, so I want to go out and work too!"

Everyone was surprised.

"What kind of work? It's too dangerous outside now." Zhou Jianghai immediately glared at him.

Zhong Tiyun gave him a displeased look and said, "Just listen to me first, why are you so anxious?"

She looked at everyone and said, "Actually, your second uncle's vegetables are also growing well. Cucumbers and beans are also growing. They started planting later than we did, but your second uncle is a good hand at tending to crops. Even without grow lights, the vegetables are growing well. When the property management found out, they specifically contacted your second uncle to ask if he would be willing to grow vegetables and crops for the community and get paid. Your second uncle was worried that he couldn't do it alone, so he came to ask me what I thought."
