The soldiers put on their heat-resistant suits and went into the mountains and forests.

The heat-insulating suit was developed in the provincial capital, but it is not the final version and still has flaws.

The heat-insulating suit can only be used for three hours. After three hours, the temperature inside the heat-insulating suit will gradually rise until it is the same as the outside temperature.

When Zhou Tian arrived at Wufeng Mountain, he learned that the wildfire there was more serious than he had anticipated.

The wildfire started at the top and spread into the mountains.

It's likely that the area below the mountain will be affected soon.

Zhou Tian immediately arranged for soldiers to begin digging an isolation barrier.

Given the large area, the isolation zone must be deep and long enough.

The soldiers worked against the clock to dig, fearing that if they wasted even a second, the wildfire would spread.

The wildfires immediately caused panic among the residents of Feihong Villa District.

Fire is no joke.

If the wildfire spreads to the villa area, all their hard-earned possessions will be gone.

This is a situation that many people cannot bear.

In the midst of apocalyptic natural disasters, human life is worthless.

Without supplies to survive, they either starved to death, died of thirst, or died on the way to find supplies.

Some people are considering whether to escape first and then come back when the situation improves.

Some people packed up all their supplies, just waiting for things to go wrong so they could immediately escape with all their possessions.

Qin Yue made a phone call to Jiang Li.

"Sister Jiang Li, are you preparing to evacuate the villa?"

My brother and I were afraid the wildfire would spread and we wouldn't have time to escape.

Jiang Li didn't rush to answer Qin Yue. After thinking for a while, she said:

"Mo Ge and I have no plans to evacuate yet. Although the fire started on Wufeng Mountain, it's still a fire on the mountaintop."

It's still quite a distance from the villa area. I've seen some of the latest information; the authorities have already deployed soldiers to dig a safety barrier.

If all goes well, the wildfire will stop at the firebreak.

However, just in case, you can pack up your essential supplies beforehand, so you can leave immediately with them if things go wrong.

Qin Yue thought Jiang Li was right. "Then let's pack up our supplies first. If things don't look good, we'll leave immediately."

Jiang Li hung up the communication and looked towards Wufeng Mountain, hoping that the soldiers could successfully stop the fire at Wufeng Mountain.

Otherwise, the family business she had worked so hard to build would vanish into thin air.

Pudding sensed that Jiang Li was in a bad mood, so she squatted down beside her legs and looked at her tenderly.

Jiang Li sat down on the sofa, her mind in turmoil, unable to concentrate at all.

Pudding followed Jiang Li to the sofa, jumped on, and put her head on Jiang Li's lap.

It hooked its front paws around Jiang Li's arm, gesturing for her to touch it.

Pudding soothed Jiang Li in its own way.

Jiang Li could only rub Pudding's fluffy head and bury her face in its fur.

"Forget it, we can always start over."

"I'm content just having you all with me."

Thinking that if Pudding and Mo Ge were to leave her forever, Jiang Li would rather give up anything in the villa to get them back.

Well, all we can do is wait and see how it goes.

Looking at Jiang Li's relaxed smile, Ye Jingmo confirmed that she wasn't going to dwell on the matter any longer, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Jiang Li wanted to find something to do to avoid constantly worrying about the wildfires.

She looked around and saw the jelly in the cage.

She remembered that she had planned to give Pudding a bath and let it out of its cage.

There's no time like the present, let's give it a good bath today.

Jiang Li took a basin from the bathroom and poured in pet bath shampoo.

She slowly dipped her finger into the water to test the temperature, and it was just right.

Jiang Li opened the cage, and Jelly immediately pressed itself against her, rubbing against her hands from side to side.

"So nice."

Jiang Li stroked Jelly's fur from its head to its tail, and she could clearly feel that Jelly's fur was somewhat rough, with some knots in certain places.

She lifted the jelly from under her armpit, hugged it tightly, and walked straight to the bathroom.

This was Jelly's first bath, and Jiang Li didn't want to leave it with any trauma.

Otherwise, bathing it later will be a big problem.

Upon entering the bathroom, Jiang Li placed the jelly on the floor.

It paddled in the water with its little paws to let it know what it was.

At first, Jelly was a little nervous and meowed, fearing that some daring person might be trying to harm the cat.

However, after Jiang Li paddled several times, Jelly's nervousness gradually disappeared.

It even curiously stretched out its paws to explore the water basin.

Jiang Li picked up the jelly and put it into the basin of water, then scooped some of the water from the basin and poured it over the jelly.

Jiang Li carefully rubbed Jelly's fur; Jelly had noticeably shrunk after being submerged in water.

So it's hollow.

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow.

Like jelly and pudding, it began to enjoy the comfortable experience of taking a bath.

It squinted its eyes, rested its chin on Jiang Li's hand, and relaxed its body, letting Jiang Li rub it.

Jiang Li rinsed the foam off the jelly-like hair with clean water and stood up.

I pulled a dry towel from the shelf and wrapped it around the jelly, leaving only the cat's head sticking out.

Jiang Li used a dry towel to dry Jelly's fur, then carried it to the sofa.

Plug in the hairdryer and turn on the warm air to dry the jelly.

Upon hearing the hairdryer, Jelly immediately jumped up and hid behind Jiang Li.

The movement was so fast that Jiang Li didn't have time to stop it.

Jiang Li tried to catch the jelly back, but the jelly, like a slippery fish, struggled to escape from Jiang Li's grasp several times.

In the end, Ye Jingmo grabbed Jelly by the back of its neck, finally ending the cat-catching game.

Ye Jingmo sat down on the sofa with the jelly in his hand, while Jiang Li half-squatted down and used a hairdryer to dry its fur.

After blowing the jelly's fur, Jiang Li was so tired that her whole body ached.

Jelly was outside the cage for the first time, and it was full of curiosity about everything.

It would occasionally pat this or hook that with its paws.

Pudding followed Jelly around happily, occasionally bending down to invite Jelly to play with it.

Jiang Li struggled to get up from the sofa and took out the cat bowl, water bowl, bed, and toys from the cage.

Place it next to Pudding's Nest and put the cage back into the space.

Now that the jelly doesn't need to be isolated, the cage just takes up too much space.

Jiang Li turned around and saw Ye Jingmo holding a tablet, intently looking at something.

She walked to a distance of an inch from Ye Jingmo and found that Ye Jingmo had not noticed her at all.

"Brother Mo, what are you looking at? You're so focused, you didn't even notice me getting close?"

Ye Jingmo frowned, closed the tablet, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.

"Nothing, just reading a novel."

Jiang Li looked shocked. Mo Ge actually reads novels?

She always thought that Mo Ge only read serious literature such as financial magazines and science and technology books.

No wonder he suddenly felt embarrassed.

Jiang Li suppressed a laugh; no, she couldn't laugh out loud.

"Then you can continue watching, Brother Mo. I won't bother you anymore."

Jiang Li walked to the other side of the sofa and looked at the information on her watch.

Official photos of the wildfire relief efforts have been released.

The soldiers, dressed in heat-resistant suits and carrying tools, marched in a neat, orderly line up the mountain.

The whole scene was exhilarating, and it made me feel a deep respect for the soldiers.

Jiang Li felt a little more at ease.

Ye Jingmo rubbed his throbbing temples. The plot in this novel was a bit too far-fetched, a misunderstanding for the sake of a misunderstanding.

It made him dizzy and confused.

He couldn't find the answer to the question he was looking for.

Therefore, he still needs to figure that out himself.

Ye Jingmo exited the reading interface on the tablet, stood up, and walked towards Jiang Li.

"Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

"I want to have a big meal. If this is my last meal at the villa, I have to make sure it leaves a good impression."

In such a terrible situation, only good food can soothe the soul.

"Bring me a piece of pork belly and three apples."

Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo with curiosity. Why didn't she understand how to combine these two ingredients?

She took out the pork belly and apples that Ye Jingmo needed from her spatial storage.

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Li followed Ye Jingmo into the kitchen.

Ye Jingmo took a knife and cut the pork in half, then massaged the meat with the back of the knife.

Soon, the pork chop went from the size of one palm to the size of two palms.

Wow!

Jiang Li had always thought that pork chops sold outside were cut into such large pieces, but it turns out they were chopped into such large pieces.

Ye Jingmo mixed soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar and other seasonings to make a sauce, and then marinated the pork chops in it.

While the vegetables were marinating, Ye Jingmo prepared the side dishes, chopping onions and apples.

Apples should be placed in water to prevent oxidation.

Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo's image as a tough guy who didn't even shed a tear while cutting onions, and silently admired him in her heart.

She remembers the first time she didn't understand, she cried while cutting onions, her eyes turning red and clear like jewels.

People thought she had conjunctivitis, and they kept their distance from her on the street, afraid of being infected.

As soon as the butter hits the pan, its unique milky aroma fills the air.

Ye Jingmo picked up the pork chop and put it into the pot. He cooked it until both sides were slightly browned, then poured plum wine into the pot from the side.

Jiang Li secretly swallowed.

This tastes delicious.

Ye Jingmo placed the pork chops on a plate, sautéed them with onions, and then added apple chunks and brown sugar.

The thick red sauce drips off the spatula; at this point, add the pork chops back into the pot and simmer over low heat for another ten minutes.

While Ye Jingmo was cooking, Jiang Li watched and washed and cooked rice nearby.

She scooped the rice into a bowl and placed it on the table.

Ye Jingmo brought out two servings of pork chops.

The dark red pork chop paired with two small green florets of cauliflower has a distinctly Western feel to it.

The tender pork has an apple-like aroma upon first bite, and with a deeper taste, you can taste the savory flavor of the meat; the two flavors blend together wonderfully.

It doesn't feel forced at all.

Jiang Li felt that this situation wouldn't be quite right without a couple of glasses of red wine.

She took out two wine glasses from her storage space.

I used a corkscrew to open the cork of the red wine and poured out two sips of wine.

Seeing Ye Jingmo's disapproving look, Jiang Li said matter-of-factly:

"Who told you to make this dish, Brother Mo?"

Western food is best paired with a little red wine, and I only poured two sips, so I won't get drunk.

Jiang Li used her thumb and forefinger to make a slight gesture.

Ye Jingmo sighed helplessly.

"Okay, that's all."

Jiang Li tossed two preserved plums into the red wine; she liked the taste.

As for whether this is the correct way to drink red wine, she didn't know.

A tender pork chop with hot rice and a sip of sweet and sour red wine.

After a delicious meal, Jiang Li felt completely refreshed.

Jiang Li felt a little sleepy after eating and drinking her fill.

However, she dared not actually go to sleep until the wildfire on Wufeng Mountain was extinguished.

She didn't want to be burned to death in her sleep if the authorities couldn't control the fire and it spread to the villa area.

To fight off sleepiness, Jiang Li thought about finding something to do.

Suddenly, she remembered the dried sweet potatoes she had eaten at the Qin family's house; they were sweet and perfect as a snack.

Jiang Li took out 100 jin of sweet potatoes from her spatial storage. She planned to make 20 jin of dried sweet potatoes and the rest into sweet potato flour.

She and Ye Jingmo washed the dirt off the sweet potatoes together.

Jelly had never seen a sweet potato before, but the cat's curiosity led it to the pile of sweet potatoes.

Jiang Li quickly grabbed its paw, causing the jelly to roll around in the pile of sweet potatoes.

Its bath was completely wasted.

"Pudding, take Jelly to play over there, don't come over here."

Pudding popped a cat head into its mouth and ran to the living room with a jelly in its mouth.

This scene is like when the parents are busy and the little kid is being naughty, so the older child has to pull him away to play somewhere else.

Peel all the washed sweet potatoes.

To avoid getting bored, Jiang Li even played some soothing music.

Listening to music while working makes me incredibly efficient.

In half an hour, the 100 pounds of sweet potatoes were peeled clean.

Jiang Li packed the sweet potato peels into her spatial storage, intending to put them into the compost bin later to ferment into fertilizer.

The last batch of fertilizer is almost ready to be harvested.

She and Ye Jingmo planned to cut 20 jin of sweet potatoes and put them into a drying box to dry slowly.

The evenly sliced ​​sweet potatoes were neatly placed into the drying box.

Jiang Li set the temperature and waited for it to dry slowly.

To grind sweet potatoes into powder, cut them into chunks, take out a food processor, and throw them in.

Add water while blending, just like when making soy milk.

Soon, a whitish-yellow liquid flowed out of the grinder.

Jiang Li specially found a large basin to catch the slurry and let it stand.

By this time, the sweet potatoes in the oven are ready.

Jiang Li opened the drying oven, and a faint sweet aroma of sweet potatoes filled the air, without the overpowering smell of roasted sweet potatoes.

Jiang Li took a small bag and put two dried sweet potatoes into it.

This way, you can eat it anytime and take it whenever you want.

Ye Jingmo then put the next batch of dried sweet potatoes into the drying machine.

Two hours later, the liquid clearly separated into two layers.

The top layer is clear water, and the bottom layer is a smooth paste.

To make sweet potato starch, you need the next layer, which is sweet potato starch.

Jiang Li scooped the water out of the basin and found five other small basins to divide the paste into portions.

These starch pastes, once dried, become sweet potato starch.

Sweet potato starch can be made into sweet potato noodles, which are chewy and have a unique flavor.

It can be paired with sweet, salty, or spicy flavors.

As Jiang Li thought about it, she started to crave food.

However, it will take some time for the sweet potato starch to dry.

Jiang Li picked up a dried sweet potato and started munching on it, which satisfied her craving.

After playing for a while, Jelly and Pudding got tired. Jelly jumped onto the dining table and lay down, away from Pudding's antics.

Pudding had no choice but to run over and stand close to Jiang Li's legs, her round black eyes staring at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took a dried sweet potato and stuffed it into its mouth.

Pudding lay on the floor, chewing on dried sweet potato.

Its tail wagged happily, showing that it really liked the taste of dried sweet potato.
