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

Jiang Li put the collected hair into a conspicuous bag and stored it in her spatial storage.

Once you've collected enough hair, you can start making mats for the pudding and jelly.

I just don't know if they'll get used to it.

"Should I put the pottery jar I bought at the market into my spatial storage? Or should I just put it in the basement?"

When Ye Jingmo was taking something from the cabinet next to the dining table, he accidentally kicked a ceramic pot, making a dull thud.

He figured the cabbages wouldn't be ripe for a few days, so he wouldn't need the two earthenware jars yet. He could put them in his spatial storage or in the basement for now.

"I'll take it to wash it. When the cabbage is ripe, it can be used directly for pickling."

Jiang Li entered the kitchen, carrying a ceramic jar in each hand.

Her hand reached into the earthenware jar, and when she pulled it out, it was covered in dust.

This is not surprising.

If the earthenware pot is not used, dust will definitely get inside.

Jiang Li poured some water into the earthenware pot, added some dish soap to the loofah, and washed it inside and out.

Jiang Li rinsed the foam out of the earthenware jar with clean water, then took out some coarse salt and smeared it on the inside of the jar.

This method effectively kills bacteria.

Jiang Li put the pottery jar into her spatial storage and then went up to the third floor to check on her crops and guinea pigs.

The cubs in the small white cage have grown soft fur and are suckling at their mother's breast.

One, two, three, four, five...

Jiang Li counted the cubs she saw; there were six in total.

She couldn't help but admire Little White for being able to give birth to so many cubs at once.

It was really too hard.

Jiang Li poured some goat milk into the bowl, and this time she divided it into two small basins.

The main concern is that the cubs won't have enough breast milk.

As for the little black dog next to him, it didn't receive such good treatment.

Jiang Li added food to its bowl and then ignored it.

When the cubs of the little white cat grow up, they will need to be separated into different cages, but it seems that there are not enough cages available in the space.

With so many cubs, Jiang Li calculated that three cages would be needed.

After I go downstairs, I need to tell Ye Jingmo to make three cages.

The cabbages in the planting troughs are lush and green, and they are ready to be harvested.

Jiang Li plans to notify Zhou Tian later to come and pick up the cabbage in a couple of days, at which time she can start making pickled vegetables.

The tomatoes ranged in size from as large as a ping-pong ball to as small as a thumb, but all were greenish-blue in color.

She counted the tomatoes on a tomato plant with great interest; there were 40 in total, of various sizes.

However, this did not particularly surprise Jiang Li. Her planting record showed that one tomato seedling produced 70 fruits.

Currently, the only item that resembles a blind box is the potato.

Jiang Li was hoping it would bring her a surprise.

After finishing her work on the third floor, Jiang Li went back to the first floor.

She sat on the sofa and stretched.

Jiang Li sent Zhou Tian a message on her watch, asking him to come to the villa to pick up the cabbage in two days.

Zhou Tian immediately replied with an "okay".

He even specifically asked Jiang Li if she had managed to snag a sun-protective suit this morning.

Jiang Li didn't hide anything and told her directly.

After a brief conversation, Zhou Tian went to attend to other matters.

Both the government and the military are extremely busy right now, with no free time at all.

Being able to spare a few moments to talk with Jiang Li is already Zhou Tian's limit.

Jiang Li turned off the communication on her watch, looked up and said to Ye Jingmo:

"Brother Mo, the guinea pigs will grow up soon and need to be separated into different cages."

There aren't enough cages in the space; we need to make three more.

"Then let's go to the ruins and find some wire to make a cage."

Otherwise, if I make it out of bamboo, I'm afraid the guinea pigs will gnaw on it and tear open the cage after a couple of bites."

Guinea pigs have very sharp teeth, making it easy for them to gnaw on wood.

"The heat-resistant suits should arrive tonight, and tomorrow we'll go to the ruins to find some materials."

After dinner,

Jiang Li took out the wild boar meat from her spatial storage and prepared to process it properly.

A bag of 15 jin (7.5 catties) wild boar legs,

She plans to make it into smoked ham.

Once the smoked ham is ready, you can slice a few pieces of the reddish ham meat.

Add the shredded carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers.

Roll them up and bake them briefly in the oven.

The ham's fat seeps onto the vegetables, allowing you to taste both the salty and savory flavor of the ham and the sweetness of the vegetables.

This ham and vegetable roll is now ready.

Alternatively, you could make a ham, mushroom, and cheese tart.

Place the mushrooms in a pan and sauté over low heat until golden brown. Stuff the mushrooms with breadcrumbs, then top with a slice of cheese.

After baking in the oven, place the slightly curled, seared ham slices on top and secure them with toothpicks.

The juices from the roasted mushrooms are absorbed by the breadcrumbs, the rich cheese melts into strands, and it's paired with savory ham for a complex flavor profile.

As various ways of eating ham flashed through her mind, Jiang Li couldn't help but swallow.

Especially since these wild boars eat all-natural, green food and exercise frequently, their foreleg meat must be firm and delicious.

The skin of the wild boar leg had already been pierced with a flintlock gun, and Jiang Li was brushing off the charred bits with a loofah.

Ye Jingmo took off his shirt, revealing his taut muscles, and chopped firewood with an axe in the front yard.

Dry wood lacks moisture, so you can easily get two pieces of firewood by chopping it down with a little force.

Ye Jingmo split them into roughly the same size pieces and piled them up in the corner of the front yard, forming a triangular woodpile.

Jiang Li looked around the front yard, searching for a place to put the barbecue grill.

Smoked ham requires continuous smoking for more than ten hours.

This enclosed space is the most suitable.

When Jiang Li saw the hut where the chicken coop was kept, her eyes lit up.

The small house contained nothing but chicken coops, and the space was very spacious.

After moving the chicken coop to the doorway and placing the barbecue grill inside, we can start smoking the ham.

Jiang Li determined the location for smoking in her mind and began to perform some pre-treatment on the ham.

Take out an empty stainless steel bowl and pour in seasonings, such as common sugar, salt, five-spice powder, etc.

I dipped my finger in the seasoning from the bowl and carefully tasted it.

Jiang Li smacked her lips carefully.

Hmm, it tastes pretty good.

She nodded with satisfaction.

After spraying the wild boar leg with white liquor

Jiang Li placed the wild boar leg in a basin and coated the skin with a thick layer of seasoning.

She took a rope from her spatial storage and tied it to the bone of the wild boar's leg.

Ye Jingmo carried a bundle of chopped timber over.

These pieces of wood were split from pine trees and used to smoke wild boar legs, giving them a pine scent.

"Brother Mo, put the firewood in the hut and move the chicken coop to the doorway. You can smoke it directly inside the hut later."

Otherwise, we'd have to build a new house to smoke the meat, which would be too much trouble.

"Then let's move the chicken coop to the backyard entrance inside the house."

Once the ham is smoked, move it back.

Otherwise, the daytime temperature would be too high, and even with air conditioning, they probably wouldn't be able to adapt.

Jiang Li thought it would be fine to put the chicken coop at the backyard entrance, but she would have to barely tolerate the smell of chicken droppings.

Ye Jingmo put the firewood inside the hut, and then he and Jiang Li worked together to lift the chicken coop to the ground.

They weren't in a hurry to put the chicken coop in the backyard.

It's still evening, and the temperature is around 30 degrees Celsius, which isn't particularly hot.

Letting the chicken coop stay in the yard for a while won't cause any problems.

Jiang Li rummaged through the space and found a barbecue grill suitable for smoking.

Secure the line to the frame, and the wild boar's leg will hang down naturally.

Jiang Li piled firewood under the ham and used some dry weeds to start it.

The firewood for smoking doesn't need to be too big.

The dry branches and leaves, once touched by a spark, would quickly burst into flames.

"Cough cough."

The smoke from the fire made Jiang Li cough uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a huge flame shot out.

If Jiang Li hadn't retreated in time, Huohua would have plucked her eyebrows clean.

Jiang Li turned to Ye Jingmo, wanting to complain about what had just happened.

When Ye Jingmo saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

It was as if they had seen something funny.

Jiang Li looked completely bewildered. What was so funny?

She took a mirror out of the space.

A figure with a completely blackened face appeared in the mirror, like the bottom of a burnt-out pot, making it impossible to see any expression on the face.

"Brother Mo, you're making fun of me."

Jiang Li pretended to be angry and said to Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo stopped smiling, quickly stepped forward, took out a tissue from his pocket, and gently wiped the cigarette ash off Jiang Li's face.

Feeling Ye Jingmo's fingers gently gliding across her cheek, Jiang Li's face flushed slightly.

She snatched the tissue from his hand.

With a seemingly fierce but actually quite cute expression, she said, "I can do it myself."

The firewood for smoking ham must not be cut off.

Jiang Li needs to add firewood to the fire roughly every two hours, and she plans to set an alarm for it.

Otherwise, she might forget about it.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo carried the chicken coop to the backyard entrance of the house.

The chickens in the coop stirred slightly, running around all over the place.

The chickens kept chirping, seemingly expressing their fear.

They only calmed down after the chicken coop was placed on the ground.

Jiang Li added dried locusts to the empty feeding bowl in the chicken coop and then added some water.

The chickens immediately forgot the commotion and started eating seriously.

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the front door.

The force was so great that Jiang Li could hear it even in the backyard.

Jiang Li's watch also started flashing its indicator light.

When she opened it, she was surprised to find it was an official communication sent to her.

She was informed that the protective suit had been delivered to her door and that she needed to open the door to collect it.

Jiang Li looked through the peephole at the front gate and saw a familiar face outside.

He was Shi Ming, the leader of the team that had gone up the mountain to search for the wild boars after they were attacked.

However, just to be on the safe side, Jiang Li still inquired about their purpose.

"who is that?"

"The authorities are here to deliver the supplies you purchased."

Upon hearing the reply, Jiang Li opened the door.

Shi Ming greeted Jiang Li warmly.

"Long time no see. It just so happens that our team is delivering supplies this time."

"Please check if the item is correct."

Shi Ming handed two compressed square-shaped packaging bags to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li opened it and checked it. After confirming there were no errors, she nodded to Shi Ming.

"Thank you for making this trip."

Shi Ming waved his hand and said:

"This is our task, there's no need to be so polite."

Since there are no mistakes, we'll be going now.

There are other places that need delivery.

Watching the departing figure, Jiang Li closed the front gate.

Seeing that no one was around, the soldier beside Shi Ming asked in a low voice:

"Squad leader, do you know this family?"

It seems you two know each other quite well.

This family must be wealthy to be able to afford two heat protection suits.

That's 500 points per item, enough to buy corn tortillas for several months.

Shi Ming glanced at him.

"The wild boar meat you ate last time was bought from this family."

They also donated some wild boar meat to the military.

Their family fortune is certainly very substantial.

The soldiers thought of the arrogant and domineering wealthy families they had encountered before, who wanted nothing more than to seize all the resources.

Therefore, the soldiers felt respect for Jiang Li's actions.

In this situation, the fact that someone would still be willing to donate some food, especially meat, shows their character.

That was the end of that topic.

The soldiers started talking about other topics, which was their only form of entertainment now.

In the front yard,

Jiang Li couldn't wait to put on the heat protection suit.

The heat-resistant suit is grayish-black and very similar to a protective suit.

Jiang Li put it on and could feel the temperature on her body suddenly drop to a comfortable level.

She ran and jumped around, testing the performance of the heat-resistant suit.

I don't know what material the heat-protective suit is made of, but it feels like it's stuck to my skin without any discomfort.

"Brother Mo, this bulletproof vest is really comfortable to wear."

It feels like opening up an ice and snow realm in a novel.

Why don't you try them on?

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo, who was standing to the side, said.

Ye Jingmo also put on a heat-protective suit.

Jiang Li looked at Ye Jingmo, who was wearing a high-tech heat-resistant suit.

He made her feel that he was a scientist exploring the universe.

Wearing the heat-resistant suit, Ye Jingmo had to admit that it had a kind of high-tech feel to it.

After testing the heat-resistant suits, Jiang Li put them into her spatial storage and then went to the edge of the front yard.

Tiny flower buds have already appeared on the thin corn stalks, and they will bloom in a few days.

Once the corn flowers, pollination will begin.

Jiang Li plans to artificially pollinate the corn to ensure a high yield.

The soybean seedlings hidden under the corn stalks still had green leaves, showing no sign of flowering.

However, Jiang Li was not in a hurry.

Crops need time to grow.

Jiang Li inspected the crops while pulling out weeds from the field.

Perhaps because the soil is fertile and there is no shortage of water, weeds grow in batches.

Leave the pulled weeds aside, and as the sun comes out, they will slowly dry out and eventually become part of the soil.

Jiang Li scattered the collected dried chicken manure onto the ground.

This is a very good natural fertilizer.

Ye Jingmo helped Jiang Li water the land.

He precisely watered the soil around each crop, avoiding any waste of water.

After finishing her work, Jiang Li came to the pool.

The fish swam freely inside, occasionally slapping the surface of the water with their tails, splashing up a layer of water droplets.

Jiang Li grabbed a handful of dried locusts and threw them into the pool.

When they saw that it was time to eat, the fish swam to the surface and ate dried locusts one after another.

Looking at the fish that had grown to almost two pounds, Jiang Li thought that she could kill it during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.
