Chapter 424
The next morning, the base sent doctors and security teams to receive the people sent by the other side.
From a distance, Zhou Shuwan saw Tao Zheng and others who were maintaining law and order.
Xiaoliu saw Zhou Shuwan at a glance and waved his arms. Even the thick winter clothes could not hide the smile on his face, and he did not forget to wink at her.
Zhou Shuwan was amused by his childish behavior and nodded slightly with a smile.
She really liked Xiaoliu's personality and felt that even seven or eight years of the apocalypse had not dampened his optimism, which was something worth learning from.
She is extremely busy today.
The hospital accepted so many patients at once, making the already limited hospital even more crowded.
Several rows of beds were temporarily added in the corridor. The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, mixed with the painful groans of patients, and the atmosphere was depressing.
Zhou Shuwan and his colleagues were busy receiving patients, diagnosing and treating them, and sending those who needed immediate surgery to the operating room.
She ran around between the wards without stopping, with beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and she didn't even have time to wipe them off.
Because there was a banquet at home, Zhou Shuwan took over his shift and returned home early in the evening.
Zhong Tiyun and Grandma Pang had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Zhou Shuwan made some simple preparations.
Tao Zheng, Xiao Liu and Sang Zi, who had been busy arranging personnel for the whole day, also arrived.
The Zhou family members came out to greet them.
As Xiaoliu entered the house, he looked at the villa's decoration curiously, his eyes full of envy: "Captain, your villa is so nice, so big, so gorgeous!"
He used the word "true" three times in a row, which made the Zhou family laugh.
Tao Zheng glared at him unhappily, then greeted the Zhou family with a smile.
The originally somewhat restrained atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Jianghai smiled cheerfully: "Come in and sit down, don't just stand there stupidly at the door."
"Is this Grandma Pang?" Tao Zheng looked at Grandma Pang beside him.
The wrinkles on Grandma Pang's face smoothed out. "Hey, I often heard Xiaoyu mention you guys before. He said that you are all close friends who have shared life and death together. You are all good kids!"
She smiled and pulled Sangzi, who had a particularly delicate female appearance, and praised him, "You look good too!"
Xiaoliu just giggled.
Sangzi is very good at attacking, and in Dahua's words, "
Once Sangzi starts fighting, he becomes a fighting maniac."
But in fact, he is a very shy and introverted person. Maybe it is because he looks very delicate and handsome, so he is always shy when interacting with others.
Like now, Grandma Pang was holding his hand and praising him as if she was fascinated. His ears turned red, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Qi Mingyu came over and solved his dilemma: "Grandma, please let someone come in and sit down."
"Okay! Young man, sit next to grandma." But Grandma Pang was still reluctant to let him go.
Sangzi had no choice but to sit stiffly next to Grandma Pang.
Xiaoliu quietly asked Qi Mingyu: "Captain, how much supplies did you spend on this villa?"
They had been in the army all the time, and when they arrived at the capital base, they all lived and rested together with their comrades, and had no chance to get a house of their own!
Qi Mingyu put down his chopsticks, stretched out a hand, and silently gestured a number.
Xiaoliu took a look and immediately widened his eyes, opened his mouth into an "O" shape, and then closed his mouth silently.
Although he had saved some supplies, it was still far from enough to buy a villa.
Taking advantage of the heated discussion, Zhou Shuwan, Zhong Tiyun, and Grandma Pang began serving the dishes. The table was filled with steaming dishes, the abundance of which left Tao Zheng and the other three stunned.
"Oh my god! So many delicious foods!" Xiaoliu exclaimed, swallowing his saliva. After the apocalypse, they hadn't seen such a sumptuous meal for a long time.
Sangzi also showed a rare expression of surprise and nodded shyly.
Although Tao Zheng appeared calm on the surface, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Although the meal was plentiful, the Zhou family served vegetables, meats, and fish that were common in the post-apocalyptic world. There were no strange ingredients that could easily expose the secrets of the space.
Xiaoliu picked up a piece of braised chicken and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up: "Grandma, this braised chicken is amazing! It's so juicy and tender!"
Sangzi also tasted the steamed cod, savoring it carefully and praisingly saying, "Auntie Zhong, this fish is so delicious! The taste is just right, with just the right amount of sweet and sour, and the meat is tender!"
He smiled shyly, with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows.
Grandma Pang and Zhong Tiyun were praised so much that they smiled happily.
Grandma Pang said with a smile: "If it tastes good, eat more. If you don't like it, there's more in the pot!"
Zhong Tiyun also agreed with a smile: "Yes, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home!"
"This fish is from the nearby lake, right?" Tao Zheng asked.
"Yes, this fish is cod caught from Jingyun Lake. It can be eaten raw, fried, or steamed. It tastes delicious no matter how it is cooked and is rich in nutrients!" Zhou Shuwan introduced.
"This dish of braised chicken and scrambled eggs are all from the chickens we raise ourselves. Today's chickens have evolved and the eggs they lay are smaller, but they have high nutritional value," said Zhou Jianghai.
"It tastes great too." Xiaoliu picked up a large piece of scrambled eggs and ate it with gusto, then sighed, "I haven't tasted the taste of fresh eggs in a long time."
The most common foods they eat on a daily basis are canned food and compressed biscuits.
Whether it is meat, vegetables, potatoes or other foods, they can be preserved the longest if they are all canned.
This also led to rapid progress in canning technology in factories in the capital.
There are canned meat, canned vegetables, canned soybeans, canned potatoes and so on.
It is made into cans, which makes it easier to divide the food, one bottle per person.
If you are really tired of canned food, it doesn’t matter, there are still compressed biscuits waiting for you.
Compressed biscuits are a kind of food that tastes fragrant, crispy and delicious the first or second time you eat them, but you get tired of them after eating too much.
Just like in J City, they are trying their best to improve the taste.
Crush the compressed biscuits, put them in a pot and boil them to make a biscuit porridge.
Or you can soak it in canned food, eat it with a bite of biscuits and a bite of canned meat and vegetables, the taste...
In short, compared with the Zhou family’s daily meals, it’s simply pig food.
But, in the last days, as long as they have food to fill their stomachs, it is already good enough, so there is no time for them to be picky.
Zhou Jianghai enthusiastically introduced the sources of several other dishes to the group: "These vegetables are all grown by us on the terrace and in the bedroom, including these mutant potatoes. They have a high yield and taste great too."
As he spoke, he sighed, "We still have geese at home, but we don't have many. Otherwise, we could let you try some fried goose liver. We still have some goose eggs, though. I'll give you a few when we leave. Boiling one is enough for a meal."
Tao Zheng and others hurriedly declined.
Qi Mingyu watched with a smile, and helped a few people pick up food from time to time.
