After searching for a while, Fu Ke found it: cabbage and pork belly stewed with vermicelli[1].
There was plenty of pork belly in the space, so use it as you like. The number of pigs she bought before had increased, but she had only killed two so far.
Of course, there were not only pigs, there were many other animals. However, the space was large, and as the small animals reproduced more and more, the space allocated for them became larger and larger.
There were also some cabbage in the space, the vermicelli were what she bought in the supermarket last time, and there were fresh ones in the mushroom space, which she also collected in the supermarket at that time. She looked at the seasonings and they were all complete.
When she was preparing for running her own restaurant, she had someone prepare a special large iron pot for her, and it was now just in time for use.
Millet and pumpkin porridge was being cooked on a low stove on the ground, and vegetables were being stir-fried on the stove.
When the exclusive restaurant was planned, four stoves were planned: two short ones that could be used to cook porridge and the like, and two tall ones for cooking.
However, Fu Ke felt that four stoves were not enough for her…
She took out a large stainless steel pot, placed it next to the short stove where the millet porridge was being cooked, and boiled water.
The huge iron pot had just been heated on the high stove. While the pot was hot, she washed the mushrooms and cabbage, cut the mushrooms in half, tore the cabbage into small pieces, and sliced the onions, ginger and garlic. The pork belly was also cut into large thin slices.
Then she poured oil into the pan, and added onion, ginger, garlic and peppercorns after the oil turned hot.
After sautéing, she added the pork belly and stir-fried it. When the meat slices changed color, she added soy sauce, cooking wine and a little sugar. When it was almost done, Fu Ke poured it all into a large stainless steel pot that had been boiling.
In an instant, a quarter of the huge stainless steel pot was taken up by the meat slices.
Then she added the mushrooms, brought it to a boil over high heat for two minutes, then added the prepared vermicelli. When the vermicelli was almost cooked, she threw in the shredded cabbage.
The meat slices were cooked through, the vermicelli had become transparent, and the cabbage was just cooked through. The water in the pot was almost boiled, just the right amount, not too much or too little.
After taking a look, at least it looked pretty good.
She multiplied the small portion in the book by dozens of times the amount, and she didn’t know if it would taste good. But… Fu Ke raised her eyebrows. What she said was to ensure that you would be full, not to ensure that the food would taste good!
Without even washing the big iron pot, she just poured clean water into it and then took out two thousand eight hundred and fifty eggs from the space.
There were originally 2,832 people in the school (Lu Xun was excluded when the number of people was calculated), plus the 16 class leaders and Chen Ju and her daughter, a total of 2,850 people.
“…”The big iron pot couldn’t hold all the eggs…
But it was still early, so Fu Ke had to take out two iron pots to boil the eggs, and she boiled them in several batches.
Everyone in the school was training one more seriously than the other, and those who were digging crystal cores at the gates no longer minded the stench of zombies. Looking at the crystal cores they dug out, each one was as happy as if they had seen their own mother.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone used rags to wipe the black stuff off and then used the school tricycle to pull it over to Fu Ke.
They could already smell the blend of various aromas, and now everyone was eagerly waiting to eat.
The lunch boxes that had not been used for a long time were held in their hands, but for safety reasons, Zhang Zhongmin did not allow everyone to go out to eat in the exclusive restaurant.
So, the dim playground was crowded with people, and the weather was getting colder, but no one complained.
Zhang Zhongmin, along with Liu Guo’an and Lu Xun, delivered a thousand crystal cores. In fact, there were a total of 1,800 crystal cores, but the rest were put away separately.
“Can you count them?” The tricycle pulled up to the door of the exclusive restaurant. Fu Ke smiled when she saw the sparkling crystal cores, but she rolled her eyes when she heard Zhang Zhongmin’s words.
“No need to count. If we wait until I finish counting, let’s see if they still want to eat.” Fu Ke took down a few snakeskin bags from upstairs and asked them to put all the crystal cores in them.
She could tell at a glance whether there were a thousand or not. Was there any need to count them?
Not only did she know that there was not one more or one less here, she also knew that Zhang Zhongmin still had eight hundred more!
After quickly packing all the crystal cores and putting them aside, Fu Ke asked them to carry the cabbage, pork belly and vermicelli stew and millet and pumpkin porridge onto the tricycle and also packed the eggs in snakeskin bags and put them on the tricycle.
The millet pumpkin porridge was particularly thick and gave off a rich aroma. Liu Guo’an stared at the large stainless steel pot of pumpkin porridge. Although it was covered with a lid, he could not resist the temptation of the aroma.
When he imagined the taste of the cabbage, pork belly and vermicelli stew, his saliva almost dropped.
“Aren’t you ashamed? Go away.” Zhang Zhongmin’s face turned black and he shouted immediately. He just felt it was really embarrassing. Even if you want to eat it, please control yourself!
“Fu Ke, I think this may not be enough?” Zhang Zhongmin didn’t want Fu Ke to give him a lot of things, but he really felt that this amount might not be enough.
“You guys go back and share the food first. If you’re not full after eating, we can cook instant noodles here.” Fu Ke looked at the large stainless steel pot on top: “But you have to wash the pot for me after eating.”
“…” Zhang Zhongmin, who was already short of water, widened his eyes, but when he thought about how Fu Ke also needed a lot of water to cook… he nodded: “Got it.”
As soon as they left, Fu Ke took out a large stainless steel pot and boiled half a pot of water, then turned off the fire after it boiled. Then she took out a few boxes of instant noodles from the space.
Then she put all the crystal cores into the space and looked at the shiny crystal cores. Although they were only first-level crystal cores, she was already very satisfied.
With cute dimples on the corners of her mouth and humming an unknown song, she opened all the instant noodles and put them into the pot, then opened the bags of seasonings one by one…
When she stirred them with a long spoon, Zhang Zhongmin and the others came back.
“Are you here? The instant noodles are ready, take it away!” Fu Ke took a look and thought it was very good. The pot was washed very clean. “The instant noodles should be almost done after they are distributed. You guys come over to eat later.”
The “you” she referred to were Zhang Zhongmin who was responsible for distributing porridge, Lu Xun who was responsible for distributing vegetables, and Liu Guo’an who was responsible for distributing eggs. She had used her mental power to watch before and saw that Liu Guo’an was drooling while dividing the food.
But in the end he did not keep it for himself. He distributed it all to others, leaving only three eggs, one for each of the three of them.
When eating, everyone stuffed food into their mouths. She guessed by the time these instant noodles were gone, there won’t be any left.
Zhang Zhongmin looked at Fu Ke in surprise, then nodded: “Okay.”
“Will it be too tiring?” Lu Xun couldn’t help but worry. After all, this was food for more than two thousand people. Although it had been made as simple as possible, it was still very tiring.
Fu Ke waved her hand: “I’ll prepare it for you, come over after you’ve delivered it.”
Liu Guo’an smiled foolishly: “Thank you, Fu Ke.”
Fu Ke took out the fried noodles with soybean sauce, then made the sauce and cooked the noodles. This was very simple and quick. In a short while, Fu Ke made three large bowls of noodles with soybean paste and then fried an egg for each of them.
After thinking about it, she cut the braised pig ears into a large plate and put it on the table.
The pig ears had become cold after such a long time, but the braised dish tasted better after it cooled down.
When Zhang Zhongmin, Lu Xun, Liu Guo’an and the other two came over, they smelled the delicious fried noodles with soybean paste. Less than a minute after Fu Ke brought it out, they came back.
The timing was very accurate.
Of course, what they also brought back was a clean stainless steel pot.
It was Qiu Yingying who washed it, and it was very clean. So Zhang Zhongmin secretly stuffed his boiled egg into Qiu Yingying’s hand as a reward for her.
They were also very hungry, so they picked up the fried eggs on the noodles and ate them in two or three bites.
They then mixed the noodles evenly and started to eat them with a slurp, without saying a word. Even Lu Xun was like this. After all, he had only eaten a little at noon. Not to mention the long afternoon, he also had to share food with everyone and endure the hunger in his stomach.
Fu Ke walked over and looked at them. They directly put a little bit of the pig ears into each of their bowls and divided it all up, eating it all with big mouthfuls.
“Do you know where there is a generator in City D?” Fu Ke looked at them. If she had a generator, she could steam rice today. Dry rice was more filling than millet porridge and noodles.
And it was convenient…
“Generator?” Zhang Zhongmin narrowed his eyes. He was not from D City, so naturally he didn’t know.
Liu Guo’an and Zhang Zhongmin both looked at Lu Xun.
Lu Xun also shook his head: “I’m not from D City either, I’m from J City. Although I’ve studied here for two years, I don’t completely understand D City.”
However, Lu Xun looked at Fu Ke: “What do you want the generator for?”
Fu Ke was very upset now. If she had known earlier, she would have installed a generator here. Would she need to ask someone to dismantle the generator and install it here?
“If there was electricity, I could steam rice for you. Steamed rice can satisfy your hunger.”
Fu Ke sighed. Unfortunately, there was no electricity. Even if she had a lot of rice cookers, they would be useless.
“Let’s go back and ask. Maybe someone in the school knows.” Zhang Zhongmin finished a big bowl of noodles with soybean paste and finally felt full.
He couldn’t help but burp.
“……” She seemed to have said before that Zhang Zhongmin wanted to eat. The price had to be doubled! She glanced at Zhang Zhongmin with resentment, and decided to give up…
She still had to rely on them to find a generator, and she didn’t know how to install a generator, so she would probably have to rely on them again.
After eating and drinking, the few people went back, after all, they had to set off early the next morning.
“What time are you leaving tomorrow?” Fu Ke asked, wanting to know when she should be ready to cook.
It was completely dark outside, and a cold air enveloped them. Even though they felt warm all over after eating, they now felt a little cold.
“Six o’clock, it’s already light at six o’clock, and it’s not that cold anymore. If we leave too late, I’m afraid the sun will be too strong.” Zhang Zhongmin said.
Now from noon to four o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was like a big oven that was too close to you.
But Zhang Zhongmin also wanted to make a generator. The school was equipped with air conditioners, but there was no electricity. So air conditioners had become decorations.
But after thinking about it, he still felt that air conditioning could not be used. When people could not change the environment, they could only try to adapt to it.
Otherwise, once you become accustomed to using the air conditioner. What should you do if the weather gets worse in the future? You can’t stay in school forever, right?
Even if you can stay in school, you will still have to go out and look for supplies!
“Are you serious?” Qiu Yinlan was a little shocked.
“Of course it’s true. I was the one who opened the door and let them in. How could I not know?” said the boy who was guarding the door when Chen Ju and Lin Xiaoya arrived at the school.
She originally just wanted to give it a try, because she happened to know who was guarding Dongdaemun that day, so she came back to find this boy.
Qiu Yinlan’s eyes flashed slightly. She was not from the first team, so it would not be her turn to go out and look for supplies tomorrow.
“I understand, thank you.” Qiu Yinlan smiled gently.
The boy couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.
