My courtyard shelter

"Dong dong dong..."

"Mom, I'm going to open the door. Pan Jun and Yang Shuo should be here. Google search to read"

Xu Dong took the opportunity to walk towards the door. His mother was old and very nagging. Sometimes she couldn't bear it.

Xu Ma sighed and pulled Dabao and Erbao into the bathroom with one hand holding each other. The two brothers were covered in stinky sweat and couldn't eat without taking a shower.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle!"

Xu Dong nodded and asked, "Are you two together?"

"Well, Pan Jun doesn't have a car, so I picked him up and came with him."

Pan Jun originally owned a car, but unfortunately Xu Jingyi and Pan's mother did not have a driver's license. The car had not been driven for a long time and was damaged. It was just sent for repair a few days ago.

"come in!"

Xu Dong led the two of them to the garage, and then opened the rear door.

Yang Shuo looked at it and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Is this car full of them?"

"That's right, is it enough? Not enough."

Xu Dong specially pretended to be more this time.

Almost two tons.

"That's enough, that's enough, thank you uncle."

Yang Shuo replied quickly.

So many cans are enough to feed their family for several years.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Xiao Pan, just drive the truck back. This truck of cans belongs to you... As for Xiao Yang, you can come over again tomorrow and it will be the same truck."

"Uncle, I will listen to you."

Of course Yang Shuo would be happy to get more cans.

"Thank you, uncle." Pan Jun was also very happy.

"Why are you so polite as a family!"

"Uncle, how much does this truck of cans cost? I will transfer the money to you now."

Xu Dong had already calculated the price.

"There are about 4,000 cans in this truck, both meat and vegetable, and all types. I'll charge you a cost price. The average can is 200 yuan per can, and the total is 800,000 yuan."

Doomsday cans are much more expensive than ordinary cans.

"Okay, I'll transfer the money via WeChat."

Pan Jun agreed simply.

Although 800,000 is a lot, the old Pan family's foundation is not weak.

Xu Dong quickly stopped him: "Don't use WeChat to transfer money. My uncle's account has been blocked several times due to frequent transfers."

"That……"

"Just pay in cash, or you can delay it for a while. There's no need to rush."

"Then I'll deliver it in two days."

Xu Dong nodded and then looked at Yang Shuo:

"Xiao Yang, the same goes for you."

"I see."

After chatting for a few words, the two of them said goodbye.

"Why are you two so anxious? Why don't you stay and have dinner before going back?"

Xu Dong looked at his watch and tried to persuade him.

"Uncle, no need, there are so many cans, enough for our family to be busy all night."

Pan Jun waved his hand quickly.

The Pan family lives in an elevator room, so going up and down is definitely not as convenient as the courtyard house.

"Okay, then I won't keep you two, especially Pan Jun. You don't have to rush to unload the goods overnight. You just need to return the car before tomorrow evening."

Xu Dong instructed.

Pan Jun nodded gratefully.

At eight o'clock in the evening, dinner at Lao Xu's house officially started. In summer, the temperature is high, so dinner is eaten relatively late.

Before starting the meal, Xu Dong specially brought seven or eight kinds of cans from the basement to let his family taste them.

Father Xu took a can and looked at it.

"Is this canned fish?"

Not only is it written in English on the can, but there is also a fish printed on the side, so you can guess it.

Xu Dong looked at the English words: "That's right."

"Can this thing be kept for fifty years?"

"Of course, this kind of can is called doomsday can in the beautiful country. Although there are a lot of preservatives in it, it does not affect health."

"They all use preservatives? Doesn't it affect your health?"

Gu Bian

Xu Ma scoffed at this.

"Mom, preservatives are edible too."

"I want to eat you two, don't use Dabao and the others as guinea pigs."

The five siblings hid far away.

Just a few years ago, in order to test the cans in the basement, my father opened one for them to taste. As young people, they didn't know the dangers of the world.

The taste was so sour and fresh in my memory.

Xu Dong said helplessly: "It's just a taste, you don't eat it every day."

"Now, here you go."

Yang Lina handed over a can opener.

Doomsday cans don’t have pull tabs, probably to extend their shelf life.

"Where did you find it?"

"I told you that it was in the cupboard drawer. I don't know how your eyes are so long that you can't see anything in front of you?"

Yang Lina couldn't help but complain.

"How is that possible? I looked for it just now, and it's true that it's not there!"

Xu Dong touched his head.

Then he took the can opener and opened all the cans on the table one by one.

"Dad, this is canned beef. It can be eaten immediately after opening the lid. Please try it."

Father Xu took the can and first put it under his nose and smelled it. The quality was okay and there was no smell at all.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The meat was very well cooked, not that bad, but it didn't damage his teeth.

Lele asked curiously: "Grandpa, how does it taste? Is it delicious?"

"The taste is a bit sour, but it's not particularly unpleasant."

Father Xu frowned.

This kind of beef has no other taste at all except the sourness. Even the salt seems to be only a little. It is really used to satisfy hunger and has nothing to do with delicious food.

Xu Dong picked a piece of turkey and tasted it.

Compared with canned beef, canned turkey looks much better in terms of appearance. It looks white and the soup is watery.

However, the meat is very loose and breaks into pieces when pinched.

It tastes very powdery, almost like chewing flour, but fortunately there is no chicken smell, otherwise it would be unpalatable.

Yang Lina also took a bite, but she almost threw up. The taste was simply indescribable:

"It might be better if you heat it up."

Xu Dong quickly poured a cup of tea for his wife:

"Really? How about making a canned hot pot tonight?"

"Forget it, you have to do it yourself!"

Yang Lina waved her hands quickly.

Xu Ma picked up a can and asked, "How much does a can of this kind cost?"

"Beef is a little more expensive, costing more than a thousand dollars. The cheapest ones are vegetarian ones. Those vegetable pellets, oatmeal and canned cereals only cost a few dozen yuan each."

"More than a thousand? How many pieces of beef is this?"

Xu Ma exclaimed.

"Mom, this kind of can was more expensive in the past. The most common ones cost thousands. Now that the technology has matured and the scale has increased, the price is as high as it is now."

Xu Dong explained with a wry smile.

I think back then, in order to stock up on various doomsday foods, he spent a lot of money. On average, a meal cost several hundred yuan. There was no major drought at that time!

“You’re really spending money to get yourself punished!”

Xu Ma looked disgusted.

In the end, Xu Dong and his father tasted all the cans. Generally speaking, they were pretty good. They tasted much better than ten years ago. Perhaps the process had been improved or the formula had been adjusted.

After all, a lot of experience has been accumulated in the past ten years.

At the end of the tasting, in order not to waste food, all the cans were marked cheaper.

Mark doesn’t refuse anyone who comes.

…

Half an hour later, Pan Jun finally arrived home. He parked the minivan in the underground parking lot and then moved two boxes of cans upstairs.

"Dong dong dong..."

The little lion heard the knock on the door and immediately ran to open the door: "Daddy...it's daddy who's back."

After all, it is blood relationship. Pan Jun has only been back for a few days and has gained the dependence of his sons.

"Son, get out of the way so I don't hit you."

Pan Jun reminded quickly.

Father Pan came over and pulled his eldest grandson aside.

Under the curious gaze of the little lion, Pan Jun gently placed the two boxes of cans on the table.
