The blizzard is coming: Start zero-dollar shopping in the apocalypse

While talking, Guo Gang and Mengmeng, as well as a few neighbors who didn't go to work today, also came over. They all asked how the harvest was and talked about the situation at home.

Everyone's harvest was good, and we discussed together how to deal with it. There is no sun now, so we can't dry it in the sun. We can only air-dry it. I don't know if it will work. I will ask Lu Jianguo then.

But the stone grinders they got back from the last time they went out were put to use. They didn't need electricity and could grind just fine by hand.

While talking, Gu Pan thought about French fries: "I'll try frying some French fries and see if it works."

Mengmeng looked at Gu Pan with bright eyes: "Auntie, let me help you."

Guo Gang smiled and said: "You are just greedy, and you still help your aunt. It's good if you don't cause trouble."

Gu Pan said: "Mengmeng is good enough." After saying that, he took Mengmeng to the kitchen.

Gu Pan cut the sweet potatoes into strips, then rolled them in flour and fried them. Because the fries were too watery, she would be blown away by direct frying.

A bowl of French fries was quickly fried, and Gu Pan gave Mengmeng a handful of ketchup from a small package: "Try it with this."

Mengmeng ate one and said, "It's delicious."

Gu Pan wasn't sure which one was better, the ketchup or the French fries, so he ate one himself.

How can I put it this way? It tastes like a radish, watery, and can be said to be tasteless. Mengmeng said it tastes delicious, probably because of the tomato sauce.

Lu Ruisheng came in: "You take Mengmeng and eat with everyone first, and I'll fry the rest. There will be a lot of fumes in the kitchen."

Gu Pan didn't hesitate: "There's only one pot left, so go ahead and fry it." After saying that, he put a fries dipped in ketchup into Lu Ruisheng's mouth.

Lu Ruisheng finished eating and said, "It's not bad."

Gu Pan knew clearly that this evaluation actually meant that it was not delicious. She smiled and took Mengmeng out. They could not comment on whether it was delicious or not. They had eaten burgers before.

Seeing Gu Pan's fried fries, everyone gathered around, each with a bag of ketchup.

Young people think it's good and delicious, but older people don't think so. If you eat it for a long time, this food is not nutritious enough and the taste is average. You can't eat it with sauce every day. The sauce is so precious, so they really Not so optimistic.

Everyone is talking about these concerns.

Duan Shumei said: "We must have a balanced nutrition in the future, and eat sweet potatoes and grains together."

Everyone agrees with this suggestion, because it will taste much better this way.

Lu Xuerong said: "This is a good idea. Panpan cooks delicious food. Please teach us how to make it."

Gu Pan mainly has the recipe, even if it is improved, it will be easier: "Okay, if I have any ideas, I will share them with you."

After talking for a while, Lu Ruisheng prepared the rest and brought it out.

Everyone ate a lot while it was hot. This thing is not a valuable thing now. In fact, the materials and methods should be considered more in the future. Otherwise, if you cook such a tasteless thing and eat it directly, you will really not be able to eat it.

Of course, they have good ideas here, but they are not as optimistic as they are in other places. There is no taste at all when steamed or boiled. Many homes only have a little salt, and it has no taste at all.

But everyone knows that it is something to satisfy the hunger, and there are not so many requirements. The next day, it started to rain lightly, and the drizzle made people feel a little depressed.

It has been cloudy for so long without a hearty rain, which always feels weird.

However, everyone is more accepting of such light rain. It is better than heavy rain, right? It’s better than those extreme weather conditions, right? Thinking about it this way, everyone felt that it wasn't that bad after all.

In the evening, when Lu Jianguo came back, he brought a bag of things.

Gu Pan took it and was startled because there was movement inside.

Lu Jianguo entered the room and took off his raincoat, and while hanging it on a hanger, he said: "Good stuff, the first batch of edible maggots have been raised. Let's give some to our comrades first and let everyone try it. Panpan, you are good at your craftsmanship. I want to Whatever you want to do, I will share the method with my colleagues tomorrow and also spread it to the residents of the base."

The corners of Gu Pan's mouth twitched. Does this prove that she not only wants to use her own pot to make maggots, but also eats them? She doesn't want to eat, she doesn't want to.

Lu Ruisheng also understood his wife's thoughts and said to Lu Jianguo: "Dad, Panpan is a little resistant to invertebrates. Why don't you leave this here and we will study it and wait until Panpan gets used to it before we do it. She is not prepared now." If you do it and then eat it, she won’t be able to accept it.”

Lu Jianguo looked regretful: "Look, it's all my fault. Why didn't I think of this just now? Girls are afraid of bugs. I just thought that I could eat meat every day in the future. I didn't expect that this thing is caused by maggots. Today we If you don’t want to eat, let others study this. We will eat when we adapt to it.”

Gu Pan smiled after listening to Lu Jianguo's words: "Dad, it seems that I really have to adapt to it, but I have researched some ways to make those quick sweet potatoes, and I will make them for you later."

Lu Jianguo nodded repeatedly: "I'll help you and learn how to do it."

Gu Pan didn't object and entered the kitchen with Lu Ruisheng.

Gu Pan made sweet potato pancakes, sweet potato balls, sweet potato rice, etc., but didn’t make too much oil. Oil is very expensive nowadays and not many companies have it.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Jianguo told them about the maggots. He was afraid that Gu Pan would be disgusted by what he heard.

This maggot breeding is really the most useful strategy for the base so far. The main base has already received their message and started raising maggots.

The main base presented another commendation to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng. Of course, it had no practical significance, but at least they remembered their good deeds.

Lu Jianguo said that the process of cultivating maggots at the base is all grown from vegetable leaves, sweet potatoes and other plants, so such maggots are cleaner.

Gu Pan thought to herself that clean maggots are also maggots. Sometimes she was glad that she came up with this idea to allow more people to survive. Sometimes she also complained a few words, why did she make this thing? If she eats it in public places in the future, she won't Doesn’t eating look different?

But no matter what, it is good to have this thing, which can allow more people to survive.

Lu Jianguo stayed here at night because the rain was getting heavier.

The next morning, the rain got heavier. Lu Ruisheng drove Lu Jianguo to work. Gu Pan was worried that he would work overtime, so she brought him a lot of dry food.

After Lu Ruisheng came back, the two began to study maggots.

Sitting on the coffee table, watching the bag of maggots squirming, it would be a pity to throw it away if she didn't eat it. If she did, she couldn't eat a little bit, at least not now.

But if you keep it, it will be a pity if you die, so you can only call the neighbors together to study how to cook and eat it. Anyway, it is just starting to do this, and it is easy to excuse it with the excuse that you are not used to it and can't eat it for the time being.

Everyone who was at home came over. Looking at this bag of things, they knew that this was a regular item for the people at the base. Most of them felt a little nauseous.
