Ice Age Apocalypse: I've Stockpiled Billions of Resources
Chapter 24 A Simple Meal
“Zhou Lijun, who do you think you are? I don’t need you to tell me what to do. I can donate these supplies if I want to, or I can not donate them if I don’t want to.”
"You spent all your money being a sycophant and now you want us to give you food? With your attitude, I'd rather throw your food away than give it to you."
"At first I felt Lin Luo was being too harsh, but now I feel he wasn't harsh at all. You're just a useless sycophant."
"The supplies I have are mine. I'm making this clear today: no one can force me to donate if I don't want to."
...
Faced with Zhou Lidong's accusations, everyone instantly became furious.
"That damn idiot."
Aunt Wang cursed angrily.
She immediately kicked Zhou Lidong out to prevent the situation from escalating further.
"Please don't be angry, everyone. Zhou Lidong is a young boy and doesn't understand things. We will not force anyone to donate supplies; it all depends on everyone's wishes."
Grandpa Gao took the initiative to mediate.
When everyone saw that Zhou Lidong had been kicked out of the group, their anger subsided considerably.
Seeing that the crowd's anger had subsided, Aunt Wang and Uncle Gao continued to persuade them to donate their supplies.
However, after Lin Luo's reminder, a rift developed between them.
It's impossible for the two of them to restore the enthusiasm of the crowd to what it was when they first donated the goods.
...
In a suite that was neither too big nor too small.
A beautiful woman wearing cotton pajamas and with long, shiny black hair sat in a dining chair, leisurely eating with her bowl and chopsticks.
A sumptuous feast was laid out in front of her, including glistening braised pork, steamed fish, boiled shrimp, stir-fried mushrooms with sesame oil, and old duck soup.
There were six dishes and one soup in total, and the taste was quite good.
Tian Xiaoyu poured herself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and the chill in her body instantly disappeared.
"I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time."
Tian Xiaoyu is a workaholic who works non-stop.
Even on her days off, she rarely rests, as she helps clients with their renovations.
For Tian Xiaoyu, it's rare to have time to rest at home like today.
It started snowing heavily again, and the outside temperature had dropped to minus fifty degrees Celsius.
For Tian Xiaoyu, a workaholic, finding a job is impossible.
So, she rarely cooked at home and prepared a large table full of dishes.
"In the past, I thought I was just too busy with work. It was nice to have a meal like that when I had some free time."
Tian Xiaoyu was quite satisfied with her cooking skills and enjoyed the food with a contented expression.
She took another sip of red wine and smiled, "I really have to thank Lin Luo for being able to prepare so much food. If it weren't for him, I probably would have just bought some fast food to get through these seven days."
Seeing that Lin Luo spent nearly seven or eight million to buy supplies, Tian Xiaoyu also went on a shopping spree.
She spent nearly 100,000 yuan on two consecutive shopping sprees.
After buying the items, Tian Xiaoyu felt like she hadn't gone crazy.
What if the "Ice Age" only lasts seven days? What should I do with the supplies I bought?
Tian Xiaoyu wanted to go back to the mall and return everything she could.
For example, wood-burning stoves and smokeless coal are just a burden to have at home.
Everyone knows about the seven-day ice age, and Tian Xiaoyu believes the authorities will have appropriate countermeasures.
There should be no power outage during these seven days.
As long as the power supply to the house remains uninterrupted, the indoor temperature can be maintained by turning on the heating and electric heaters.
The reason Tian Xiaoyu was so obsessed with buying these things was entirely because she saw Lin Luo buying them.
At that moment, she was enjoying everything, and her mood suddenly improved a lot. She felt fortunate that she hadn't acted impulsively.
If the Ice Age only lasts seven days, just sell off the extra cheap items.
But the ice age lasts far longer than seven days, and these are all things that can save lives.
Tian Xiaoyu was particularly pleased with the sumptuous meal in front of her.
While eating, she opened her WeChat Moments.
Tian Xiaoyu has worked in sales for a long time, so she naturally has a lot of WeChat friends.
Many people posted videos and photos, and quite a few of them were celebrating the heavy snow so they wouldn't have to go to work.
There were also a few fearless individuals who ran outside shirtless, saying they weren't afraid of the cold at all.
Tian Xiaoyu didn't feel much about it.
If it were in the past, she would probably have the same mindset and would have strongly agreed with it.
Ke Linluo's series of unusual behaviors made Tian Xiaoyu wary.
She had a bad feeling that the Ice Age might last more than seven days.
He can still be smug now, but I'm afraid he won't be able to laugh about it later.
The atmosphere in my WeChat Moments was very relaxed, and everyone was enjoying the happiness of not having to go to work.
While scrolling through her WeChat Moments, Tian Xiaoyu came across a familiar face.
This person was none other than Lin Luo, an old acquaintance.
Lin Luo's dining table was laden with all sorts of delicacies from land and sea, including Australian lobster, king crab, geoduck, sea urchin, bird's nest, and other precious ingredients.
These ingredients look like they were made by a master chef; they look and smell delicious.
At the edge of the phone's view, there is a bottle of 82 Lafite.
Tian Xiaoyu had just found the red wine in her hand delicious, but it suddenly tasted bitter.
The delicious food on the table suddenly lost its appeal.
"It's true that comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable."
Tian Xiaoyu decisively turned off her phone.
Looking at the table full of dishes, she suddenly didn't want to eat anymore.
Tian Xiaoyu glanced at her community's WeChat group again, and her mood instantly improved.
Many people eat instant noodles and cornbread, which is far inferior to what she does.
Tian Xiaoyu felt she couldn't compare to Lin Luo, because Lin Luo had spent nearly several million preparing supplies, so it was normal for him to have such a plentiful amount.
After some self-consolation, she felt much better.
...
"That damn Lin Luo, there were so many people in the neighborhood donating money, but now there are only five or six people."
Aunt Wang was furious.
She and Grandpa Gao shouted themselves hoarse in the group chat, but all they managed to collect were five buckets of instant noodles, three kilograms of vegetables, and thirty kilograms of rice.
That little bit of food wasn't even enough for Grandma Wang to eat alone.
"If it weren't for Lin Luo, the supplies we collected could last us at least a year. We could just give away a portion and the rest would be ours."
Grandpa Gao was also furious.
The two braved the extremely cold weather to visit every household in the community, working themselves to the bone to collect only a small amount of supplies.
"It's all Lin Luo's fault. Zhou Lidong just texted me, asking if I could give him some food, saying he's almost out of food at home."
Aunt Wang was furious.
"That damn sycophant, look at what he said, he almost got us killed. He dreamed that we would give him supplies. We told him that no one had donated anything because of Lin Luo."
“I’ve already replied to him like that, but the more I think about it, the angrier I get. This matter can’t just be left like this.”
The two were so angry at the small amount of supplies that they couldn't even eat.
"Lin Luo just posted a message on his WeChat Moments."
Grandpa Gao took out his phone.
"Quickly open your phone and check."
Aunt Wang urged.
The two opened a set of photos showing Australian lobsters, sea urchins, king crabs, and other delicacies.
A bottle of red wine stands out next to the camera; it's a bottle of 82 Lafite.
Even through the phone, both of them could smell the aroma of the wine.
Lin Luo also added a caption: This was a simple and unpretentious meal.
