Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jiang Li approached the guinea pig cage; Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were sleeping.

Sensing the movement, Xiao Hei groggily rubbed its eyes with its paw and peered towards Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took Xiao Hei out of the cage and stroked its body; it obediently offered no resistance.

She gave it a chew toy as a reward.

Little Black used its two little paws to hold the chew toy in place, and began to gnaw on it with its sharp teeth, making a chilling crunching sound.

Without a doubt, if these teeth were to bite into someone, they would definitely leave a large hole.

Little White wasn't as enthusiastic as Little Black; it turned around and buried its head in the hay, looking like it didn't want to see anyone.

Since becoming pregnant, Xiaobai has been very wary and doesn't like anyone getting close to her.

Jiang Li did not intend to force Xiao Bai.

After feeding and watering Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, Jiang Li checked the air conditioner on the third floor.

The air conditioner is set to turn on and off with a timer.

After confirming that the air conditioner was working properly, Jiang Li went downstairs.

She lay on the sofa to rest, idly flipping through the information on her watch.

Official notices indicate that temperatures have risen abnormally recently, and the public is advised to stay in shady areas to avoid direct sunlight or prolonged exposure to the sun to prevent heatstroke. It is also important to ensure the availability of drinking water.

Starting tomorrow, at 6:00 AM every day, the authorities will send water trucks to provide the public with one liter of water every three days.

The water just needs to be boiled before it can be drunk.

Upon seeing this message, Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the officials had gone to the reservoir to fetch water and then returned to deliver it to the residents.

The authorities really went to great lengths to ensure that more people could survive.

It's already quite difficult to find enough fuel for cars to travel back and forth from the reservoir.

Jiang Li just checked the thermometer by the door; it had risen five degrees compared to yesterday.

Even through the window, Jiang Li could see that the crops in the front yard looked wilted, but they were still in better condition than yesterday.

It seems that covering the ground with plastic film does have an effect.

Ye Jingmo asked Jiang Li to bring out the rabbit he had caught the night before, and he would start processing it.

Salt and pepper rabbit meat requires deep-frying, which takes a relatively long time.

Ye Jingmo carefully peeled off the rabbit's fur, thinking he could make a rabbit hat for Jiang Li later.

It must be very warm since it's all plush; Jiang Li should like it.

He told Jiang Li to store the rabbit pelt in his spatial storage first, and to knead it when he had time.

After reading the messages on her watch, Jiang Li had nothing to do, so she thought about how her personal space hadn't been organized in a long time.

Without hesitation, she entered the space and began to sort and calculate the supplies, recording the current resources on paper.

While organizing the supplies, Jiang Li found some cold jelly powder that had been thrown away in a corner of the room.

Considering the hot weather and the risk of getting a sore throat from eating salt and pepper rabbit meat at night, I decided to make some cooling and refreshing desserts.

Jiang Li took out a box of black jelly powder from her spatial storage.

Just thinking about adding honey and brown sugar water to make the bittersweet jelly made Jiang Li's mouth water.

These are memories unique to summer.

Jiang Li took a large bowl, poured the black jelly powder into it, added boiling water, and stirred it well.

Making jelly is almost effortless.

She picked up the bowl and put it in the refrigerator so that the jelly would solidify faster.

At this moment, Ye Jingmo put the chopped rabbit meat into the oil and fried it. The rich aroma of meat immediately filled the entire kitchen.

The rabbit meat was fried until crispy, with a slightly reddish-brown crust.

Ye Jingmo used a slotted spoon to scoop out the fried rabbit meat, drained the oil, and then fried it again.

This makes the rabbit meat firmer and juicier.

Sprinkle the double-fried rabbit meat with salt and pepper powder, and a serving of salt and pepper rabbit meat is ready.

Before we knew it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Today, Jiang Li and Qin Yue agreed to leave at 5 p.m. earlier than usual.

It's safer and more convenient to go deep into the mountains to find water when it's daytime and the temperature isn't too high.

Ye Jingmo then stir-fried a plate of green vegetables.

Jiang Li quickly took out the prepared jelly from the refrigerator and cut it into small pieces.

Add honey and brown sugar water to taste.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, then took out two more plastic bottles and filled them with some of the prepared jelly water.

She planned to bring some for Qin Yue and Qin Yu to help them cool down in the summer heat.

This isn't anything particularly precious; at most, honey and brown sugar are a bit rarer.

However, she didn't add much; when they asked, she would say she found it in the ruins.

Jiang Li didn't put the two bottles of jelly back in the refrigerator, because if they were too cold when she gave them them, it would easily arouse their suspicion.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo began to eat dinner, even though the sky outside was still bright, with no trace of night.

The crispy salt and pepper rabbit meat bursts with juice as soon as it enters the mouth, and the salty and savory flavor of the salt and pepper makes Jiang Li feel like her mouth is full of oil.

Jiang Li especially likes the parts with bones, as they are flavorful and chewy.

After finishing dinner, Jiang Li scooped a spoonful of the cold jelly from the bowl next to her; it was bittersweet.

The heat from eating salt and pepper ribs subsided, and I immediately felt a refreshing coolness throughout my body.

Before leaving, Jiang Li put on a straw hat and went to the front yard.

She wanted to check if all the insects had died after the pesticide was sprayed yesterday.

She crouched down beside the soil and turned over the crop leaves; there were no longer any obvious traces of insects.

It was as if the dense swarm of insects that Jiang Li saw yesterday was just an illusion.

It seems the pesticide is working well.

Jiang Li noted the date of the first pesticide spraying on the calendar, and she would spray pesticides again seven days later.

After three consecutive attempts, there should be no more noticeable insects in the field.

After checking that the crops in the front yard were normal, Jiang Li packed her things and headed to Wufeng Mountain with peace of mind.

The resources in the mountains are like a treasure trove.

Jiang Li really enjoyed the feeling of going up the mountain to search for treasure.

Upon seeing Qin Yue and Qin Yu, Jiang Li handed them the prepared cold jelly water.

"This is jelly."

Qin Yue's face was full of disbelief. Only a few months had passed since the apocalypse began, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.

Even seeing this kind of jelly-like drink that could be bought so easily before the apocalypse fills me with a sense of insecurity about its existence.

Qin Yue opened the bottle and took a sip. The bittersweet taste was exactly the taste from her memory.

"Jiang Li, when I went up the mountain before, I found a chestnut tree."

"I'll collect some chestnuts and make you chestnut cake."

Thinking that there was nothing at home that she could give to Jiang Li, Qin Yue thought of the chestnut tree she had discovered by chance before.

When the chestnuts are ripe, I'll make some chestnut cakes and send them to Jiang Li. It's both unique and a token of my sincerity.

She had specifically gone to a cooking class to learn this.

Walking along the mountain path, Jiang Li noticed that the plants were much more wilted than yesterday, with almost all of their leaves turning yellowish-brown.

In just one day, the plants on the mountain have already dried up so noticeably.

In a few more days, these plants will probably all wither and die.

Qin Yue was also very worried upon seeing this, and she said with concern:

"Sister Jiang Li, do you think all the plants on the mountain will die in a couple of days?"
