At the end of the natural disaster, I have a capsule house
Chapter 69 Eating tea eggs in the last days
At five o'clock in the evening, other people on the 20th floor gathered at Lu Mei's house again to wait for Meng Yi and Chen Li to get off work.
Because they all wanted to hear what it was like for them to go out on patrol on their first day, and whether they encountered anything special on the road.
Lu Mei and Grandma Qiao are already preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Su Keke's bright flashlight hung from the kitchen ceiling. The curtains here are made of blinds, so when the curtains are drawn, the outside is basically light-proof.
In order to make it easier for Su Keke to hang this flashlight, Chen Da also specially placed hooks in many places on the 20th floor.
Su Keke's bright flashlight is solar-powered. There was no sun at the time of the flood, and Chen Da couldn't figure out why the flashlight was so bright every day.
Is this flashlight still a treasure? Just one exposure to the sun will give you unlimited battery life?
In short, he thought Su Keke's flashlight was very magical, so Chen Da borrowed it to study it when it was not in use during the day.
But no matter how you study it, this is just an ordinary solar flashlight.
But it is also solar energy. The solar lamp at Chen Da's house only has a weak light during floods, and sometimes it cannot even be turned on.
In fact, Su Keke's lamp has unlimited battery life. It's just that she puts the flashlight in the space every day to shine, and no one knows about it.
In the past few days, they have saved a total of 20 eggs on the 30th floor. Today, Grandma Qiao said she would boil tea eggs for everyone to eat.
Su Keke and other children all like to eat tea eggs, and Lu Mei said that his old Chen likes to eat a few when he has nothing to do.
In the past, it was very common to eat tea eggs at home, but in the last days, when everyone has not enough to eat, if your family can still eat tea eggs, many people will envy you.
Now that Lu Mei had washed and cooked the 30 eggs, Su Keke went to the kitchen and brought a large bowl of eggs to the living room.
She and Shi Huan were warming up the fire while cracking eggs on the corner of the coffee table, "Dong dong...dong dong dong..."
Only when the egg shell is broken into pieces can the tea eggs be tasty enough.
Grandma Qiao was preparing the marinade in the pot. Su Keke had stored a lot of ingredients in the space before, but now she could finally put them to use.
Take some peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and some of Grandma Qiao’s own collection of tea leaves, plus salt, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, and drinking water.
Turn on the cassette stove and cook on high heat for 15 minutes.
When all the marinade in the pot was combined and a lot of aroma came out, Su Keke and the others were ready to crack the eggs.
Grandma Qiao poured a large bowl of eggs into a large pot, and the thick soup instantly wrapped the 30 eggs tightly.
Then lower the heat to medium and simmer for about 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and wait for an hour or two before eating. If you have the conditions and are not greedy, you can leave it overnight and it will be more delicious the next day.
Anyway, the people on the 20th floor couldn't wait to eat again the next day. It is estimated that Chen Li and Mengyi would come back soon and they would start eating in less than an hour.
The rice is already cooked in the pressure cooker on another cassette. Since the power outage, the pressure cooker at Lu Mei's house that presses the bottom of the box has finally come in handy.
Before there was electricity, almost every household used a rice cooker to cook rice, which was simple and convenient. Almost no one used a pressure cooker to cook rice. Lu Mei bought this pressure cooker and used it occasionally to stew chicken.
In fact, in comparison, rice cooked in a pressure cooker is more fragrant.
After the tea eggs were cooked, Lu Mei started making bacon and fried mushrooms.
The bacon was made from the pork that Su Keke and the others carried back with their old noses. There was no sunshine at that time, so the endless pork could only be marinated in soy sauce and then smoked.
Until the pork is smoked until it is hard, it can be stored for a long time.
Shiitake mushrooms are dried mushrooms that Su Keke took out from the space. When used, soak them in warm water and they will become very big.
This kind of packaged dried mushrooms can be stored for a long time. Su Keke brought several bags to both Lu Mei and Shi Huan. The reason was that Grandma Qiao had stocked a lot before and they would expire if she didn't eat them.
Shi Huan was easier to fool, and as long as Su Keke found a good reason, she would basically believe it.
Lu Mei was originally a business person and was very shrewd in all aspects. She was a little suspicious of Su Keke and Grandma Qiao's help from time to time in providing them with supplies, but she would never scratch the window paper.
In the face of natural disasters, when everyone is short of food and clothing, what bad intentions can people have if they help themselves without asking for anything in return?
As for why people have so many supplies, that is their business. Sometimes it's good for yourself and others not to get to the bottom of things.
"We're back!"
On the other side of the security door, just as Meng Yi took the key and opened the door, Chen Li shouted in the corridor.
"Ah! My Chen Li is back!"
Lu Mei asked Grandma Qiao to help look after the food in the pot, and she quickly ran out to greet her big boy who was eating public food for the first time.
In the living room, Shi Huan ran faster. Su Keke didn't know if she had a cold nature.
Anyway, she couldn't understand it at all. They all came in immediately at the door, so why did they rush out to greet them?
Sure enough, Su Keke's emotional intelligence was only somewhat useful to Grandma Qiao.
"Wow! Tea eggs! Mom! Can I smell the fragrance of tea eggs?"
Chen Li had just taken a few steps when he smelled the strong aroma of tea eggs wafting from his kitchen. This foodie's nose is really good.
It was almost time to eat when everyone was here. Grandma Qiao brought a large plate of fried mushrooms and bacon to the table.
Chen Li ran over impatiently, grabbed a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth.
"You kid, you haven't washed your hands for a few days! Are they dirty?" Lu Mei hit Chen Li hard on the arm from behind and scolded.
"Mom, don't you know you won't get sick if you eat uncleanly? It's the end of the world, who is willing to wash hands with clean water!"
Chen Li made a face at his mother and showed the self-heating rice in his hand.
"Mom, look, the dinner we gave out today is pretty good, isn't it?"
Lu Mei quickly took it and said, "This public meal is delicious."
Su Keke saw that mother and son were chatting happily, so she went into the kitchen to help Grandma Qiao take out half of the tea eggs she had just marinated, and left the other half in the soup base to slowly absorb the flavor.
"Everyone, come over and eat!" Chen Da shouted towards the living room with bowls and chopsticks.
Before everyone arrived, he opened the pressure cooker and prepared bowls of fragrant rice.
"Aunt Lu! You have such a rich meal today!"
Meng Yi and Shi Huan had been whispering at the door for a while, and as soon as they stepped into the living room of Lu Mei's house, they saw tea eggs and bacon and fried mushrooms on the table.
He was so greedy that he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva at once.
I ate steamed buns with pickles at the municipal office for lunch today, and I'm already hungry by now.
Each person only had two small steamed buns. I went on patrol with the team leader in the afternoon and kept walking. Although there was no danger, my feet were really useless!
"Xiao Meng, come and sit down, everyone is happy today and have something good to eat."
Chen Da smiled from ear to ear and invited everyone to sit down and eat. In his mind, the current patrol officers are really no less than the civil servants before the natural disaster.
"This bacon is so delicious!" Chen Li was the first to take down his chopsticks, and his mouthful of bacon tasted delicious.
Su Keke helped Grandma Qiao peel a tea egg, and then she had one herself.
Several people gathered together, eating hot dinner and listening to Meng Yi and Chen Li talk about the patrol.
The happy thing is that in their group, they are the only ones equipped with bows and arrows, and the others are issued with batons.
"Then you two have to work hard from now on!"
Chen Da smiled and put a freshly peeled tea egg into both of their bowls.
"I know, I know!"
As they spoke, they used chopsticks to rub the tea eggs in their bowls. Pick it up and take a bite, and your mouth will be filled with the fragrance of tea eggs.
