doomsday seclusion

Food is not irreplaceable.

Cold or hot, I can have a good meal whenever I want.

However, the cost of exchange is not cheap. It seems to be based on the values ​​of the last days. The rarer things are, the higher the price is, and food is one of them.

This is why I would rather buy those dry food and daily necessities with currency than rely entirely on the ability to exchange.

Although my current ability can be exchanged for the required items at "half price", the more energy points, the better. If you want to live in one place for a long time, you can't do without some thorough preparations.

However, not all food can be exchanged: plants that can continue to grow and seeds that can germinate all belong to the category of life.But the mountains do not turn around, and they cannot be exchanged for fruits and vegetables with roots and seeds. They can be replaced by other methods.For example, normal apples cannot be exchanged, but seedless apples, freshly squeezed apple juice, or desserts such as shredded apples and apple cakes can be accepted.

Similarly, ordinary fresh vegetables cannot be exchanged, but pickled vegetables, processed lettuce or cooked delicacies are listed on the list, as long as there is enough energy, they can be tasted.

Therefore, I am not too worried about the problem of uneven diet.If you really want to save time, exchanging various ready-to-eat nutritional and health products is just a matter of hand.

However, although it is very convenient to use the ability to exchange, it will not last long to make ends meet, so I thought of a way and decided to use the land around the house to grow various fruits and vegetables.

After making up my mind, I surveyed around my house and simply divided the cultivated land as follows: the backyard is not big, so I measured the distance and planted a few fruit trees; A small variety of vegetables that I love to eat.

In addition, I plan to build another greenhouse and warehouse connected to the house on the left and right sides of the house, which will be used to raise seedlings and place agricultural machinery at the same time.However, although the materials can be exchanged now, it is difficult for me to build them alone, so I will keep the open space for the time being.Seedlings can be raised indoors, and agricultural machinery and other equipment should be placed outdoors and covered with canvas to prevent moisture.

After the planning was completed, I operated the machine and started to prepare the land.Because I am a novice on the road, I am not very proficient in many aspects, but I read a lot of related books beforehand and listened to a lot of teaching in the Agricultural Machinery Center, so I quickly got rid of the panic and got started smoothly.

After pushing the manual cultivator to complete all the land, the day has passed, I am so tired that my body is sore, and my bones seem to be falling apart, but when I look up at the results of my hard day, I smell the new The aroma of the soil and an indescribable sense of accomplishment immediately flooded my heart.

I beat my stiff and sore shoulders, and the day's hard work was well worth it.

Seeing that it was getting late, I put away the farm tools and took a shower, and my eyelids were drooping when I got back to the house.But I resisted, took out a few pots and poured the seeds to be sown tomorrow, added some water and soaked them.

The sick and thin seeds immediately floated up, I fished them out and discarded them, and after roughly checking the remaining parts, I placed the pots neatly on the table.

Because I was too tired to eat, I didn't care about anything else, so I limp down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

I don't know how long it took, and the dazzling light slanted in from the window.

Groaned, I was wrapped in sleep and turned over to continue sleeping.

After getting rid of the mediocrity of the world, those established schedules are no longer important to me. There are no restrictions on when to commute to get off work and when to eat, and everything can be done as I like.

It's like now, I can sleep freely until I wake up naturally, and I can go back to sleep when I wake up, the heavenly happiness is nothing more than that.

As long as there is no noise.

The moment he almost fell asleep again, the phone rang untimely, and the ringtone kept ringing like a reminder.I turned over in pain, picked it up with a frown—yes, it was none other than my good brother.

I almost forgot that if he hadn't been the first to call after the end of the world to inquire about his safety, and then managed to come to meet me at home and take care of each other to go to a safe base, I wouldn't have established an indestructible friendship with him.

Not to mention being dragged down so badly by him afterwards.

Subconsciously, I turned off the phone directly, and I threw the phone back to the head of the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover my head, and continued to catch up on sleep.

Even if he came to the door again, he would only find that the owner of Toutian had changed long ago.I didn't leave any contact information, and he was looking for a needle in a haystack if he wanted to find someone.

I'm curious, how far can he go this time without my help?

Probably still be able to reach the safe base.The team we were with at that time had several extraordinary characters with outstanding skills.

It's just that without my continuous supply of supplies in this life, it's hard to say whether the other party is willing to walk with him.

What can be concluded is that the life of eating delicious food and drinking spicy food is gone forever.

I managed to sleep until the sun was up, and when I woke up, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking out of the window, one can see the panorama of the vegetable garden at a glance.Although it is still a brown and bare area now, when the plants grow after sowing, they will soon become a vibrant green area.Thinking about the gratifying harvest in the future, I feel motivation flowing through my whole body in an instant.

At this moment, the sun was so strong that it was not suitable for farming, so I went into the kitchen after washing up and planned to cook a pot of chicken soup for myself in the spare time.

Turning on the computer to check the recipes, dozens of pieces of data popped up dazzlingly.I took a rough look, selected a method that made me quite appetizing, followed the instructions to exchange the materials, and followed the steps one by one.

First start a pot of hot water, scald the chicken and then wash it completely.

Then put the washed chicken into another pot of cold water, add soaked dried shiitake mushrooms, red dates, wolfberry, rice wine and other ingredients, boil the water until it boils, then roll for about 10 minutes.

After the water boils, turn to medium-low heat and continue to cook for another 10 minutes.

Finally, add a proper amount of salt to taste and you are done.

Since ginger cannot be replaced, I substituted ginger juice and it still tasted just as good.

After turning off the fire, the whole kitchen was filled with a strong aroma, which caused my stomach to growl.

I couldn't help but bowl after bowl. After I was full, only half of the soup in the pot disappeared.

A whole chicken is still too much for one person.

Cover the pot and save the rest for dinner.This pot of soup cost me nearly [-] points, which made me feel a little distressed, but compared to the [-] points directly exchanged for chicken soup, it saved nearly half.

After lunch, I took a short rest and walked into the cave with a hoe.

It's early spring, and it's cool in the morning and evening. The temperature of the hot spring water is just right. After a few months, the weather is getting hotter, and the current water temperature is too hot, so I plan to dig a cold water pool to connect with the hot spring water. , so that one side is cold and the other is hot, and the middle blends into warm water, which is suitable for all seasons.

It will be dusk after the cold water pool is dug.After planting the seeds and watering them, it is routine to take a bath and eat.I was bored at night, so I lay on the bed and read a book, and fell asleep when I was tired. The days were really pleasant.

In this way, I, an incompetent farmer, willfully sleep every day, and when I wake up, I feel that the scorching sun is not suitable for work, so I have to stay lazy until the afternoon before I am willing to exercise my muscles and bones.Fortunately, the planting area is not wide, and one person can still handle it, so I just fooled around so confidently.

There is no specific arrangement for the evening time, maybe reading a book, maybe going to the fields, when I am in a good mood, I will cook a meal by myself, and then squint my eyes and taste it slowly.

The days passed like this with the wind, without much change.

Soon, a month passed, and it was almost time to enter the city again.
