Chapter 1111 Rest(1/3)
The bright moon is in the sky, and the milky white moonlight shines on the earth. The ice and snow on the earth reflect the moonlight, making it like a dream.
New City.
Lao Xie, Huang Zheng and others, who had come all the way north from the Da Zhangshu Base, were stationed at an abandoned factory near the new city.
The vehicles they drive are quite large and it is not easy to find a suitable shelter.
Generally, places like factory buildings or driving schools are more suitable.
Lao Xie is middle-aged and bald, and his temper is relatively kind, although he is an inner-city employee of the Da Zhangshu Base and was an early member of the Da Zhangshu Base.
He should have been the leader of the team this time, but after all, Huang Zheng often fought externally and frequently traveled between Da Zhangshu Base and Oil City, so Lao Xie let him lead the team along the way.
"Lao Xie, I guess I can get to Oil City the day after tomorrow." After Huang Zheng made arrangements for duty, he saw Lao Xie sitting in the car in a daze, so he came over to have a chat with him.
"It's pretty good. It's faster than I expected." Lao Xie nodded and put away the photos in his hands.
The moment he put away the photo, Huang Zheng saw a woman in the photo and guessed that she should be Lao Xie's wife.
Huang Zheng raised his head and looked out of the car windshield. The abandoned factory building looked horrifying. Under the moonlight, there was a strange atmosphere.
"Lao Xie, how long have you been joining the base?" Huang Zheng suddenly asked.
"I..." Lao Xie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said after thinking about it carefully:
"It's been almost three years. At first, I was in Jiefang City. Later, Jiefang City collapsed and I was displaced. I joined the Da Zhangshu Base with Captain Lu."
"What about you? I remember you came here from Chengzizhou before, right?"
Lao Xie asked back.
Huang Zheng nodded and said:
"Yes, in fact, a lot of things happened when I was at Chengzizhou. I saw many survivors killing each other due to hunger and weather, but there was nothing I could do..."
"Sometimes I feel like I'm getting numb..."
Lao Xie looked at him for a while and said softly:
"It's not that you are numb, it's that reason has defeated sensibility. The size of your feet should wear the size of your shoes, and your ability to do the things you want should be done to the best of your ability. Don't think too much about the rest, otherwise it will just torture yourself."
Huang Zheng was thoughtful when he heard what Lao Xie said.
The night was cold, the temperature inside and outside the car was different, and a layer of frost condensed on the car windows.
The two chatted, gained a deeper understanding of each other's past, and gradually became familiar with each other.
.....
Oil City.
Li Yu got an induction cooker in the room, found two cans and a box of dried mushrooms from the stored food, and also brought vermicelli from the headquarters base.
Gululu——
The water has boiled.
Li Yu threw the vermicelli into the boiling water.
Vermicelli cooks slowly, so you need to cook it for a while.
He was hungry most of the time in his previous life, which gave him a strong desire for food and he cherished any food very much.
There was enough food in this life, but it still didn't change his desire for food. Only when he was full could he feel a sense of security in his heart.
He likes this feeling.
When night fell, he was cooking food alone in his room. This feeling made him very satisfied.
After throwing the vermicelli in, he pulled out a dagger and inserted it into the pork can, cut the iron sheet with the blade, and picked the pork inside into the boiling water.
This canned pork was originally found in the underground warehouse in Ganxiong. When he first discovered the warehouse, Li Yu was shocked by the huge number of cans.
This canned pork seals very well and has a long shelf life.
I’ve been eating at Da Zhangshu Base for a year and I haven’t finished it yet.
But generally speaking, this stuff is not eaten at the Da Zhangshu base headquarters, but is only used as emergency food when going out.
Or send it to Oil City.
The pork in this can already has salt, so Li Yu didn't add any more salt.
He picked up the pot, poured water into the cleaned can, rinsed out the remaining pork dregs and oil and water, and finally poured it into the pot to cook together.
After putting the vermicelli and pork in, he slowly threw the dried mushrooms into the boiling pot.
In the apocalypse, mushrooms and bean sprouts are the easiest to grow, so these two dishes are often found in the base.
The dried mushrooms are processed by the food processing factory managed by my second uncle and transported to the Oil City as a type of dried vegetables.
While waiting for the food to cook slowly, he opened another can of fruit and found tangerines inside.
Taking a sip of the sweet juice inside, it was ice cold and made Li Yu lick his lips with satisfaction.
While eating canned fruit and waiting for the pork and mushroom stewed vermicelli to be cooked, there was heating in the room, which made Li Yu feel quite happy.
The Northern Federation won't be able to handle it for a while, but people have to rest.
Half of the canned fruit was eaten, and the food in the pot was cooked. Li Yu did not take a basin to hold it, but directly cut off the power of the induction cooker and moved the pot in front of him to eat.
Slippery——
Li Yu took a mouthful of dried noodles and frowned, almost salty.
So he took out a wooden jar from the canvas bag, poured some salt into the palm of his hand, sprinkled it into the pot, and then stirred it with chopsticks to fully mix the salt into the soup.
"Well, it's almost done now."
The mushrooms swell in hot water and become soft and tender.
The vermicelli is soaked in the pork juice and is smooth.
The big chunks of pork, although a bit raw, are better than the big ones. You can stuff them into your mouth one bite at a time, and the whole mouth will bulge, making people feel the happiness of eating meat.
Have a great time.
Li Yu's eating appearance is not good-looking, to be precise, he looks like he hasn't eaten for several days.
However, Yutong always felt that he was able to eat well when he ate like this, which at least made those who watched him eat have a much better appetite.
Gudong Gudong——
Li Yu even drained all the soup inside.
Still not satisfied, I picked up another can of tangerines and finished the remaining half of the can.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He had just eaten meat and sucked vermicelli, which was very hot, and the heating in the room was turned on, causing him to sweat all over his body.
He casually took off the outer layer of clothing, leaving only the inner single layer of clothing.
Gudong——
The sweet juice of canned tangerines is like the last song of a symphony, making people feel refreshed.
He had just hurriedly finished the vermicelli and pork, and his forehead was hot with sweat. At this time, the cold and sweet fruit juice entered his mouth.
It's like drinking a glass of ice-cold Coke in the summer desert when you're thirsty.
It makes people feel so happy that they take flight.
Drink the last drop of canned fruit juice.
"ha....."
He let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had taken a big sip of Coke and always made that pleasant sound.
Satisfied, at ease, happy to eat, and comfortable to drink.
The most beautiful thing in life is eating and drinking.
Eating and drinking are the easiest things to satisfy before the end of the world, but busy people always regard eating as a task.
There is no fun in forgetting the joy of eating and drinking, and just treating eating as a job to maintain the necessary supplies for the body.
The easier things are to wait for, the less they will be cherished.
Before the end of the world, even if it was delicious food, it would be troublesome and trivial, so that people did not have the mood and senses to appreciate it carefully, and they would not be able to appreciate the beauty.
In the apocalypse, it is due to lack of food that an expired biscuit can be chewed, allowing saliva and starch to mix. People will close their eyes, maximize their sense of taste and smell, and taste the sweet taste.
.
For most people in the last days, a bowl of hot noodles, cooked in plain water without salt or oil, can still give them the feeling of top-notch gourmet food.
If a person has never been hungry, he will not know the beauty of food and the happiness it brings.
No matter what kind of environment you are in, you must always find fun by yourself, otherwise it will be too painful.
Bah!
Li Yu lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.
Comfortable!
