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

To prevent a large-scale cockroach invasion,

The base took preventative measures in advance, spraying large amounts of insecticide in every corner.

People originally thought this was a useless act.

After all, with such hot weather, what animal could possibly survive such temperatures and come out?

The cockroach corpses piled up on the ground, forming a small hill that left everyone speechless.

Many people were secretly relieved that the base had taken measures to kill pests in advance.

Otherwise, if these cockroaches crawl into your home, not only will your food be in danger, but your people will also be at risk.

They had no doubt that a single bite from a cockroach would tear off a layer of skin.

But that's all in the future.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo, who are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, are currently dealing with the sheet metal they brought back.

While we still have time, we can't put off making cages any longer.

Jiang Li cleaned all the dirt off the sheet metal and disinfected it.

Ye Jingmo used a ruler to measure the dimensions on the sheet metal and drew lines on it with a marker to mark the values.

Taking advantage of the bright sunlight, Ye Jingmo took out a cutting machine and, following the marked lines, began to disassemble the sheet metal.

Soon, the eighteen small iron plates were cut.

Ye Jingmo began assembling the cage. He put on goggles and used a welding machine to weld five small iron plates first.

The cage's basic shape, without any gaps, was complete; only the top layer was missing.

Jiang Li wanted the top layer of sheet metal to be open, so that one could see the guinea pigs inside, and it also needed to be able to be opened.

This is how you feed and clean the guinea pigs.

Therefore, Ye Jingmo made some design changes to the small sheet metal on the top layer.

He used a small saw to chip the sheet metal into small, hollowed-out compartments, making it easier to see what was inside.

Initially, the top layer of sheet metal will be slightly longer than the other sheet metal pieces.

Ye Jingmo bent the extra small section, attached it to a small piece of sheet metal on one side, and secured it with a nail.

He also welded a handle onto the small sheet metal on the top layer, so that Jiang Li could open the cage at any time.

Thus, a cage that is sealed on all sides except for an open top is completed.

Guinea pigs would absolutely love this cage; it gives them a great sense of security.

After becoming familiar with the cage-making process, Ye Jingmo increased the speed of his work.

Before long, all three metal cages were finished.

Jiang Li rested her chin on her hand as she looked at the three cages, feeling that there was something she wasn't quite satisfied with.

Oh, right, she slapped one fist onto the palm of her other hand.

These cages are all in their original color, and some of them aren't very attractive.

Jiang Li remembered that when the villa was renovated, there was still some paint left in the basement.

It's just the right amount to paint these three cages.

Jiang Li went to the basement to get the paint; the only paints left were blue and white.

One cage was painted blue, one cage was painted white, and one cage was left in its original color.

She painted the cage and then put it in the sun to dry.

This will speed up the drying process of the paint.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo ignored the rest.

After finishing his work here, Ye Jingmo wanted Jiang Li to rest for a while.

Jiang Li just remembered that there were still some unpicked cabbages left upstairs.

I plan to take a break after I've pickled the cabbage.

Anyway, it doesn't take too much effort.

However, I might have followed Jiang Li upstairs and taken over her job of picking cabbages.

He picked all the remaining cabbages by himself, without letting Jiang Li lift a finger.

Jiang Li stared at him helplessly.

She first stored the harvested cabbages in her spatial storage, intending to process them later in the kitchen on the first floor.

The third floor is too small. It's okay to temporarily store cabbages, but we lack pots, pans, and other utensils to process them.

In the kitchen on the first floor,

Ye Jingmo sat on a small stool and used a knife to cut off the root and stem of the cabbage.

Jiang Li washed the dirt off the cabbage in a basin of water and removed any old or rotten leaves.

Hot water was boiling in a pot on the stove, and steam was rising upwards.

Cut the washed cabbage in half lengthwise.

Jiang Li plans to make two kinds of pickled vegetables: pickled sauerkraut and spicy cabbage.

Pickled cabbage can be stored in winter and can be stewed with pork ribs or used to make dumplings, both of which have a unique flavor.

Kimchi is perfect for hot weather like this; its sour and spicy flavor is very appetizing.

Jiang Li put half of the cabbage into a pot, brought it to a boil, and then soaked it in cold water.

During this time, the other half of the uncooked cabbage is salted and pickled, which takes 6 to 8 hours.

Ye Jingmo brought up two ceramic jars from the basement.

He washed the earthenware jar clean with water, rinsing off the coarse salt.

Jiang Li wrung out the water from the cabbages that had been placed in cold water, stuffed them into the earthenware jar, and pressed them down tightly layer by layer.

Finally, put a stone on top and you can cover it up.

After a month, the cabbage leaves will gradually turn yellowish-green and have a strong sour taste.

The kimchi also needs to be marinated with chili sauce.

Add chopped onions, garlic, and other ingredients to the chili powder. If you want to add a more complex flavor, you can also add blended apple puree.

This will give the chili sauce a natural sweetness.

Finally, pour a spoonful of hot oil over it; this will greatly enhance the aroma of the ingredients.

Drain the water from the pickled cabbage and evenly coat each cabbage leaf with chili sauce.

The bright red chili sauce covering the cabbage is so visually appealing that it makes you want to devour it.

Place it in the earthenware jar like this, and it can be opened and used after a week.

Jiang Li thought that since she had already pickled cabbage, she might as well pickle some cucumbers as well.

Her space contained a batch of small cucumbers, each about the length of a finger.

This was given to her by a stall owner when she was buying goods at the market; he saw she was buying a lot and gave it to her to try.

She had never tasted pickled cucumbers before.

This is a good opportunity to give it a try.

However, Jiang Li didn't dare to make too many at once, for fear that the pickled cucumbers wouldn't taste good and all the cucumbers would be wasted.

She specifically found a small glass jar to clean it.

Following the recipe, briefly boil the cucumbers and then put them in a jar.

Marinate with white vinegar, salt, sugar, etc.

After waiting for about the same amount of time as the kimchi, you can start eating.

It is said that pickled cucumbers retain their crispness and have a sweet and sour taste.

It goes very well with congee or rice.

However, Jiang Li was thinking of a different combination.

That's a pickled cucumber pork chop burger.

Adding tangy and crisp cucumber to a pork chop burger would definitely be very appetizing and refreshing.

Just thinking about it makes Jiang Li's mouth water.

Jiang Li put all the jars into her spatial storage, and only moved them out after she got to the basement.

She even wrote a sticky note on it, just in case she remembered the pickling date wrong.

After finishing these two big tasks, Jiang Li finally relaxed and lay down on the sofa, picking up her tablet to play a match-3 game.
