Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa

"You said there is a plant identification program, does it also have gourmet recipes?"

China’s food culture, which has been passed down for thousands of years, can’t be cut off here, right? She thought that even if the people in the slums had a difficult life and had no pursuit of food taste, there would always be those in the safe zone, right?

And in this high-tech era, it shouldn’t be difficult to preserve gourmet recipes.

"Of course there is, but according to historical records, global radiation suddenly mutated five hundred years ago, and the population dropped by half at that time. Some authentic delicacies and snacks were not recorded, and only the recipes that were recorded on electronic devices at that time were preserved."

Of course there are recipes now, and if there are places to eat, there will be no shortage of people who develop gourmet food.

It’s just that the delicacies passed down are limited.

"Furthermore, the profession of chef is not indispensable in the safe zone. There is a risk of being replaced by others at any time. Survival of the fittest. Competition in the profession of chef is very fierce. Ninety percent of the chefs in the safe zone are from slums. The status is not high.”

This is not difficult to understand.

People in the slums are trying their best to get into the safe zone, but almost all of them are ordinary people. In the highly competitive safe zone, perhaps only the food industry can accommodate them.

When everyone in the slums wants to live in a safe zone through delicious food, can this industry not be highly competitive? I'm afraid it won't work well.

"You're a good cook, but you're not a good cook."

Lin Xiao thought she wanted to start as a chef and compete in the safe zone.

So I want her to give up this idea as soon as possible.

Jiang Yuan's cooking skills are not at the level of a chef. She is self-aware, and she just wants to understand the current food culture.

But she didn't expect that he would praise her against his will.

"Of course I know, I just feel strange why Brother Zhang keeps praising my cooking skills."

It made her think that there was no such thing as delicious food in this world.

Lin Xiao smiled and affirmed again, "It's indeed very good."

It's even more delicious than what the cook used to make at Lin's house.

But Lin Xiao's words made her have other thoughts.

Recipes, when she was stocking up on food five hundred years ago, she was afraid that she would not have delicious food in the end of the world, so she collected almost all the delicacies from around the world, not to mention Chinese food, she even had recipes for local specialties, barbecue, fried potatoes, etc., and Western food, Thai food, Japanese food...

Anyway, she has a ridiculous amount of recipes.

If she really had the chance to go to the safe zone in the future, she would like to ask about the restaurant to see if she could exchange recipes for points.

Didn’t Lin Xiao say that? The status of chefs in this industry is very low, and there must be people developing new dishes all the time.

So it’s not surprising to create a new dish of your own, right?

In the afternoon, after processing the rabbit meat, the two of them slept on the sofa in Zhang Hu's living room for an hour. At about 2:30, they set off and turned back.

The sofa at Zhang Hu's house is more comfortable than the bed at her house.

Jiang Yuan secretly made up her mind to work hard to buy a sofa and a mattress before winter came, so that she could sleep on a warm and comfortable bed.

On the way back, Jiang Yuan was carrying twenty kilograms of rabbit meat, as well as lunch and water that the two of them had not eaten, while Lin Xiao was still carrying hundreds of kilograms of weight.

It was just that it was still early, so they were not in a hurry to go back. They walked and stopped, and when they saw new wild vegetables growing on the roadside, they squatted down and dug.

Adhering to the principle, don't let it go when you pass by. There must be no grudge between her and Chi.

It’s just that the closer you get to home, the less you can dig.

The two of them found a total of six pieces of edible wild vegetables, which was only about seven kilograms. However, Jiang Yuan dug up some green onions and garlic that had just emerged from the seedlings, and found 20 that had just sprouted out of more than 600. Take it back and plant it.

Scavenging is really difficult.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but recall her experience after coming to this era. Fortunately, she had the help of space, otherwise she, a weakling, would still be eating vegetable leaves every day, and she would have missed her first meal.

When they returned home, Uncle Luo and his son carried hundreds of kilograms of wood into the house.

In just one day, they built a shed in the yard and cut down a lot of trees. It is no exaggeration to say that if they were given three days, they would be able to stock up on firewood for this autumn and winter.

Lin Ran had already finished the meal, and he had learned to make ramen at some point. Although it was not as thin and even as Lin Xiao's, it was definitely edible.

He had prepared the staple food, and Lin Qian had washed the vegetables, and was just waiting for them to be cooked.

Lin Ran must be a good boy who is diligent and thrifty. The only meat dish today is the black fish that was not finished yesterday. It was deep-fried and then cooked in a pot. Then he added a lot of cabbage, green vegetables, green bamboo shoots, bracken, etc. It was just a mess. Stew, the big iron pot is full, and it feels like eating Malatang.

If it’s not enough, add some noodles later, and you’ll be full anyway.

Jiang Yuan stood in front of the big iron pot and counted it. There were six pieces of fish in the pot, two of the same size, large, medium and small. The total might be about three kilograms of fish.

This saves money on eating.

I just want to give Lin Ran a silent thumbs up. The little guy who is less than six years old is already very capable and has perfect living skills.

"How about you cook some more? I see my brother is coming back with rabbit meat on his back. Do you want to eat rabbit?"

Lin Ran knew that their conditions were better now, but his brother and sister-in-law still worked early and late every day, and food was also in short supply.

Stewing in one pot saves vegetables, meat and fuel, and the portion is full, how good is it?

The only bad thing is probably that his sister-in-law is a bit picky about food and may not like it.

"White Rabbit will eat it tomorrow, and I will eat what you made today."

There are fish, vegetables, noodles and rice. This is already quite rich, isn’t it?

Jiang Yuan has eaten very well during this period, so she is not as greedy as before.

Lin Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his sister-in-law didn't dislike it.

After dinner in the evening, the two kids cleaned up the kitchen. Lin Xiao called Uncle Luo and his son to the living room, and the four of them had a meeting.

Now that the new house has been built, we need to discuss what Uncle Luo and his son will do in the future.

Because Jiang Yuan's original intention was to invite them to protect her home and food, she didn't plan to let them go too far from home. Scavenging was impossible, and cutting firewood could only be done in these three days.

"I found some vegetable seedlings and seeds from the mountains. I will plant them at home tomorrow. I will leave the weeding and watering work to Uncle Luo."

Let Uncle Luo and his son farm at home, and later she would take over her three little rabbits and let them take care of them.

They also handle all household affairs, big and small.

From now on, her and Lin Xiao's job will be to scavenge.

The two of them agreed wholeheartedly and felt that this job was too easy. They would arrange more tasks if they could.

"Farming and looking after the house are the most important, related to the survival of our family, and there are many trivial things that need to be dealt with by you. Even if you stay at home, you probably won't be able to take time off."

Take a look at the housewives of five hundred years ago. They were busy from the moment they got up until late at night. This was when they were not farming or doing farm work, but they could still go shopping when they needed goods.

But now, you have to rely on yourself for everything.
