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

Zhong Tiyun did some calculations and said, "The last batch of sweet potatoes will be dug up soon. At this temperature, I guess we can't grow anything else. The only things left are heat-resistant vegetables, such as pumpkin, winter melon, cowpea, loofah, zucchini, cucumber, and peppers. It's so hot, and I've been watering them frequently. These days, they've been curling up and looking listless. I guess they won't grow for many more days."

Zhou Jianghai said, "Pumpkins, winter melons, and cowpeas can all be used as staple food. If you plant more of them for a while, you can get more yields. Tiyun, let me know when you're harvesting sweet potatoes, and Wanwan and I will go help."

They went there purely as voluntary helpers as family members and received no salary.

Zhong Tiyun smiled and pursed her lips: "There's no need for you, Director Wu must have made arrangements."

"He arranges his things, and we do ours. I'll help you more when the time comes, and you can come home early to rest." Zhou Jianghai said.

This is pure concern.

So Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu became huge hair lights, watching their mother blushing and looking at their father shyly and angrily.

Zhou Shuwan coughed dryly and hurriedly pulled Mu Mu to the kitchen: "Come on, Mu Mu, let's go eat ice cream."

When I was stockpiling supplies, I didn’t actually stockpile many of these more luxurious snacks.

But Zhou Shuwan had stockpiled a lot of cream, butter, and cheese, and also had a bunch of video resources, so she and Mu Mu worked together to make a lot of ice cream and popsicles, and froze them in the freezer.

Mu Mu likes to add some jam to the small bowl when eating ice cream. These spaces also have strawberry jam, blueberry jam, chocolate jam, etc.

Add a little jam to each plastic bowl and you will have creamy ice cream of different flavors.

It has a delicate texture and rich creamy flavor, and is much better than what I bought outside before.

It’s been so hot these days, so the brother and sister always like to eat a small bowl every day.

After eating the ice cream, Zhou Shuwan went downstairs to his bedroom, got two short-sleeved thermal jackets, and went to the house opposite.

This is specially reserved for the other party.

Qi Mingyu opened the door. He seemed to have just finished exercising. His camouflage uniform was clinging to his body, and sweat was dripping down along the contours of his muscles, outlining his capable and toned figure. His whole body was still emitting heat from exercise.

Zhou Shuwan blushed inexplicably.

Qi Mingyu hadn't noticed it before, but today he suddenly discovered that she looked a little shy and unnatural.

He stared at her thoughtfully, thinking that maybe he had used the wrong method before.

He took a step forward, leaned forward slightly, and the smell of hormones emanating from his body became stronger. He smiled slightly: "Wanwan, why are you blushing?"

His voice is low and magnetic.

Zhou Shuwan felt as if his heart was being plucked by a string, trembling and shaking slightly.

She took a step back, not looking at him, staring at his jaw, and said flatly, "Return the favor. These are two thermostatic garments, also high-tech products. When worn, they can reduce or increase the perceived temperature by more than ten degrees in hot or extremely cold weather. It's so hot now, you and Grandma Pang will be more comfortable wearing them."

Considering that a short-sleeved shirt is enough in hot weather, these two clothes are made according to the body shapes of Grandma Pang and Qi Mingyu, and are relatively loose.

The color is also pure black, so it is not conspicuous when worn and will not attract attention.

Qi Mingyu was a little surprised. He took it and touched it. It felt very delicate and cool.

"That's good." He smiled. "Then I'll take it. Thank you on behalf of my grandma."

Zhou Shuwan looked away: "I'm just returning the favor. Your self-defense bracelet is very useful to me. I don't have anything else to give you, but this constant temperature jacket is just what I need."

It was rare for her to explain in such a long-winded way.

Qi Mingyu just listened quietly, a smile on his lips: "It's a gift to me anyway, I appreciate it."

The more you talk, the more corny it becomes.

Zhou Shuwan rolled his eyes at him, then turned and left.

Qi Mingyu didn't stop her, but just smiled at her back.

Within two days, sweet potatoes began to grow in several vegetable greenhouses.

Director Wu did make arrangements. Normally, each greenhouse only needs four or five people to take care of it, but when it comes to harvest time, especially in this kind of weather, it would take too much time to wait for several people to slowly harvest.

He simply asked all the young people on duty in the community to come and help.

A group of older guys worked more efficiently. Zhou Shuwan and his father also went to help. In just half a day, they had harvested all the sweet potatoes from the five vegetable greenhouses. After weighing the yield, it was not as much as before, but it was still pretty good.

The grains and vegetables produced in the community are first exchanged with the owners of the community.

Soon, in the evening, while the weather was still hot, a long line formed at the property office. People were waiting outside in boats with supplies to be exchanged.

Although sweet potatoes may cause heartburn, they are more durable than potatoes. Once cut and dried, they can be stored for a long time. Furthermore, the flavor of sun-dried sweet potatoes remains unchanged. Even when cooked, they fill the house with fragrance and a natural sweetness.

Therefore, sweet potatoes are more popular than potatoes.

Zhong Tiyun worked hard for so many days, and when the new sweet potatoes came out, she was also given 20 kilograms of fresh sweet potatoes as a bonus.

Zhong Tiyun weighed 5 kilograms and sent it to the Qi family. The Qi family was not one to be greedy for small profits, so they quickly gave back a large jar of rice wine brewed by Grandma Pang.

Wash and dry fresh glutinous rice, then steam it. Sterilize all utensils used, pour the glutinous rice into a container, and sprinkle some wine yeast on it. In this kind of weather, you only need to cover the container and it will be fermented in two days.

Get up early and scoop two spoonfuls of brewed rice wine to make fermented rice wine eggs. It is delicious and nutritious, with a fermented sweet and sour taste and a hint of wine.

Zhou Shuwan had tasted the rice wine brewed by Grandma Pang once before and felt that it was much more delicious than the one she had tasted in the south and had a more special flavor.

In addition to eating fermented rice wine eggs, she also likes to squeeze out the juice from the rice wine in hot summer weather, chill it in the refrigerator, and then drink half a bowl in one breath, which makes her feel refreshed.

Mu Mu also likes to drink.

Seeing the two children drinking happily, Zhong Tiyun said with a smile: "I should also learn how to make rice wine from Grandma Pang, so that we can make more in the future."

The Qi family's glutinous rice was later exchanged for supplies, and there was not much of it.

But there is a lot of glutinous rice in Zhou Shuwan’s space, but he has never had the chance to use it.

Moreover, not only glutinous rice is suitable for making wine, ordinary rice can also be used to make wine, but the taste is not as good as glutinous rice.

With fresh sweet potatoes, the Zhou family did not treat their own stomachs badly.

Zhou Jianghai turned on the oven and roasted a few long, thin sweet potatoes, which the family ate to satisfy their cravings.

In the evening, they ate cornmeal porridge cooked with sweet potatoes until it was soft.

Hot and humid weather is perfect for something spicy. Cornmeal porridge, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, and fish balls with Sichuan peppercorns are a good side dish.

Finally, eat two sweet potato pancakes fried until golden on both sides.

The meal ended perfectly.
