Storing tens of billions of goods: I have a city that never sleeps

Chapter 137 Stewed Potatoes with Meat
It was dark before six o'clock.

Xu Qing turned on the light, and the room suddenly brightened up.

Xia Yi was surprised, "You can still use electricity here?"

It was so cold in the room, and there was no heating on, so she thought that Jiangli City's electrical circuits were also down.

Xu Qing showed a faint smile: "The electricity is supplied from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm every day. There is a limit to the electricity consumption of each household, and there will be an additional fee for exceeding the degree, so I only turn on the light at night every day."

If you turn on the air conditioner or cook frequently, the electricity required will exceed the limit.So she only fires it every few days.

"Miss Xia, take a look at Xiao Fei for me, I'll go get something to eat."

Xia Yi nodded: "Want to help?"

"Not much, I can do it myself."

Gu Fei also likes this alien sister very much. Not only will the alien sister turn into a fire in a flash, but she will also give him sweet candies to eat.

He honestly nestled next to Xia Yi, sharing his favorite picture book with Xia Yi.

Xu Qing took the two big bags of supplies brought back today to the kitchen. She took out a few frozen potatoes, carefully peeled off the skin, and dug out the bad parts.

Potatoes are not as big as the palm of your hand, if it's just her and her son, that's enough, and the rest can be saved for tomorrow, but Xia Yi is kind to her family Xiao Fei, so she can't help but feed them.

After thinking about it, Xu Qing added another potato.

She was not willing to wash it with water. She shoveled a basin of snow from the balcony, rubbed it with the snow, and cut it into small pieces.

She took out another piece of palm-sized pork with interlaced fat from another bag, and she didn't want to put it all in. She only carefully cut off a fifth of it, and buried the rest in the ice bucket.

A little bit of oil was poured into the pot, Xu Qing casually stir-fried the messy cut meat a couple of times, then added a pot of snow water with icy scum, poured the potatoes in it, sprinkled some seasonings, and mixed it After a couple of strokes, cover and cook.

In another bag were more than a dozen frozen steamed buns and a small bag of broken rice.

Xu Qing carefully took out the broken rice and poured it into the already clean rice box, such a small amount of rice didn't even cover the bottom of the box.

Steam began to rise from the pot, and the ice and snow were melted into water. Xu Qing quickly lifted the lid of the pot and turned it over, then put a steamer on top, put the steamed buns on it, and then covered it.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Qing carefully poked the steamed buns with chopsticks, and felt that it was almost ready, so she quickly turned off the fire, took down the steamed buns, took a bigger bowl, and filled a bowl full.

There are not many potatoes and meat, and most of the bowls are soup.

But Xu Qing didn't waste it either. Save the broth and eat it with steamed buns tomorrow.

When Xia Yi saw the bowl of white roasted potatoes on the table, she fell silent.

She remembered that when she went to the kitchen earlier, she saw soy sauce and various other seasonings, all of which were quite complete.

Maybe people don't like soy sauce.

Xia Yi thought so.

Gu Fei had already laid down on the table with a wow, and his saliva was about to flow down: "There is meat and meat, mom, I want meat, and I also want potatoes."

After taking the medicine and sleeping for a while, Gu Fei's fever subsided a lot, and his face looked normal.

Xu Qing gave him a steamed bun, and then sandwiched some pieces of meat and potatoes.

Gu Fei said obediently: "Thank you, Mom."

Then he took his own spoon and ate in small bites.

"Miss Xia, doesn't your friend need to wake up to eat?"

Xu Qing greeted Xia Yi, and then asked about Ruan Yulai who was still asleep.

Xia Yi said: "She will get up to eat by herself when she's hungry, let's eat, don't worry about her."

Anyway, Xia Yi couldn't scream anymore, Xia Yi felt a little melancholy.

Xu Qing nodded and said: "The conditions are not good now, so I can only use these to entertain Miss Xia. Don't be disgusted with Miss Xia."

Xia Yi quickly said: "No, no, it's pretty good to be able to eat these now."

Xia Yi picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth, her expression was a bit indescribable.

Not to mention that the potatoes are not cooked, and they have no taste. Maybe they didn't even add salt. This is no different from boiled potatoes in white water.

"Miss Xia doesn't think it tastes good?" Seeing Xia Yi's expression, Xu Qing felt a little embarrassed: "Dad Xiaofei used to make it, I have never done it, and I just learned it during this time, and my cooking skills are not good. Great."

"It's delicious, but I'm full at noon, and I'm not very hungry now"

Xia Yi asked again seemingly unintentionally: "It's hard to get supplies now, sister Xu, where did you get the supplies?"

There was a flash of panic on Xu Qing's face. She subconsciously looked at Gu Fei who was eating steamed buns dipped in soup with relish, brushed her hair uncomfortably, and pulled up the zipper of her clothes.

"That's right, I just looked outside. There is a supermarket outside the community, and some supplies can be found there. Ms. Xia has just arrived in Jiangli City, so she should not be familiar with this place. It's normal not to know."

Xia Yi looked at her complexion, and took a bite of steamed buns, "It must be Fuyun who came to the supermarket. We saw it when we came over. The supermarket gate was completely blocked by ice and snow, and only one billboard was still exposed. Xu Sis, who looks so weak, is actually so powerful, breaking through such a thick layer of ice."

Xu Qing's eyes flickered uncomfortably, and she fiddled with her hair in a disguised way: "I didn't go through the main gate, the supermarket has a small gate, and I went in through the small gate. This dish is going to be cold, Ms. Xia, hurry up and eat it. There will be a power outage in a while."

Xia Yi smiled at her and said nothing more.

Maybe it was because Ruan Yu fed her up, she couldn't get used to this kind of tasteless dish, she only ate half a steamed bun, and she said she was full.

Gu Fei ate one steamed bun, Xu Qing also ate one, and put away the rest, saving it for tomorrow.

After dinner, Xu Qing wiped Gu Fei's face and stuffed him into the bed, singing nursery rhymes to lull him to sleep.

Gu Fei was originally in the children's room alone, but the weather turned cold and the heater couldn't be turned on, so Xu Qing was afraid that he would kick off the quilt in the middle of the night and took him to sleep with him.

As soon as the child was put to sleep, the power was cut off.

Xu Qing carefully closed the bedroom door, and then skillfully found the lighter and candle in the dark. The faint candle light lit up, and Xu Qing saw Xia Yi who was still sitting on the sofa at a glance.

She walked over in surprise, "Miss Xia, why haven't you slept yet?"

"It's too early, I can't sleep." At this time before, she was still watching TV and playing games.

"The Internet is paralyzed after the end of the world. For us living in the Internet age, we are indeed not used to it. But it is cold at night, Ms. Xia should go to bed early, so as not to freeze. There are quilts in the quilt closet in the guest room. If Ms. Xia It’s cold at night and you can cover it up a little more.”

Xu Qing smiled, left the candle for Xia Yi and went back to her room.

Xia Yi sat for a while, feeling the coldness coming, touched her arm, and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day she was woken up by the sound of ping-pong-pong.

In the kitchen, Xu Qing was chopping ice cubes with a knife, mixing them with snow and putting them into a pot to cook.

This is how they get clean water.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Xia Yi standing at the door, she was startled, and then remembered that there were outsiders at home.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I made you rest because of the noise."

Shaking her head, Xia Yi saw that her hands were red from the cold, and there were still scattered ice cubes in the pot next to her, "Can you help me?"

Xu Qing quickly said: "No, no, I just want to boil some water to drink."

"Let me come and turn them into water, right?"

Xia Yi walked over, put both hands on the iron basin, within a short while, the ice inside melted quickly, and then slowly began to steam.

"All right."

Xia Yi looked at the large and small pots and buckets in the kitchen, which were filled with various ice cubes or snowflakes.

"Will those also turn into water?"

Xu Qing looked dull, nodded, and then shook her head hastily: "No, there's no need, these are enough."

She looked at Xia Yi with surprise in her eyes.

Xia Yi didn't explain anything, and when she heard a knock on the door, she went out to open it.
