Chapter 39 -39: Crazy Cooking
Jhiang Yuan watched with a sigh, saying she would ask, but it looked more like she was planning to outright rob.
1201: “That side is on the first floor, it’s probably already flooded.”
0401: “Then it’s all over!”
1201: “The phone signal isn’t good now either. Many people made emergency calls yesterday, but no one answered.”
0902: “It can’t really be the apocalypse, can it!”
Jhiang Yuan saw Zhang Kaiyang’s message and secretly thought that this kid was really troublesome.
However, he had always been active, and the sudden lack of news from him was also cause for suspicion.
0402: “Don’t talk nonsense and cause panic.”
0801: “If the convenience store in building 15 is flooded, could we still salvage some stuff?”
0902: “Forget it, our building is already in this state, the people in building 15 must have gone down to buy earlier.
The owner isn’t stupid, rather than wait for it to get soaked, it’s better to sell it for money.”
Zhang Kaiyang’s remark silenced everyone.
However, Jhiang Yuan thought that the matter wouldn’t end so easily.
Among this group, dissatisfaction with the property management had already arisen.
The supermarket over there now looked like a piece of fat meat, everyone was eyeing it.
Sure enough, other groups also began popping up messages one after another, all about the supermarket.
The convenience store owner in building 15 was also tagged by someone.
“Nothing left, everything was sold out, nothing remains.”
That’s what he said, which was within everyone’s expectation, but they still held onto a glimmer of hope.
Even so, some people asked him if he had kept any goods for himself, wanting a share.

Later, the convenience store owner did not reply, and the chat quieted down for a while.
Someone maliciously diverted the attention to the supermarket near the property management’s entrance.
However, once the seed of doubt was planted, it was very hard to uproot.
The convenience store owner in building 15, it seemed, was going to suffer.
Before they could think it through, a family of four held an emergency meeting.
“Dad, mom, the situation is quite critical now, if the water cuts off, the gas supply probably won’t last much longer either.
Let’s see what we have at home and cook it all.
Make it all cooked, this weather it won’t spoil, by then even if there is no gas, we’ll still have something to eat.”
Jhiang Xingzhi nodded, quite in agreement with her suggestion: “Before, we bought quite a few canisters of liquefied gas and coal, we can heat up food with those.”
Qin Yue was very nervous, as if the apocalypse had already arrived.
“Then let’s hurry up, we have eaten quite a lot recently, the refrigerator and freezer have cleared out quite a bit.”
“Okay, mom, don’t make anything too complicated, make some dumplings or buns or something, it’ll be convenient later.”
Although there was still more in the fridge, such things were better in excess!
After they agreed, they got busy with their tasks.
Xiao Nuan was very well-behaved and started helping pick vegetables, which Jhiang Yuan found very comforting.
Besides, the meat at home couldn’t just be left there, it had to be cooked and then frozen.
It needed to be soaked in advance, defrosted, and then parboiled and cooked.
The household had two gas stoves and a pressure cooker, none of which could stop working.
Jhiang Yuan let her parents handle the dough while she herself took care of the meat in the kitchen.
Only in this way, could she secretly stash some away.
There were disposable lunch boxes at home, she took a lot of them, and portioned them out.
Whether it was for eating immediately or storing in her space, it was very convenient.
However, this space really did need to be tidied up.
The place was so stuffed with items and lacked any shelving.
Anything that could be exchanged had been turned into land, and no shelves had been exchanged, which was quite troublesome.
There were also none to spare at home, and missing one out of nowhere would raise suspicions with her parents.
She had thought about telling her parents about the space, which would make things much easier, but the more they knew, the more risk they faced.
Besides, this space could be robbed, so Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue naturally kept it a secret.
However, she was worried they might get hurt because there were too many people with cruel intentions.
She kept busy all the way until the evening, and it was quite a fruitful day.
Jhiang Yuan made cola chicken wings, pork ribs stewed with green beans, and braised carp—
Moreover, she made quite a lot of fried goods, beef jerky, fried ribs, radish meatballs, fried pork loin, and chicken popcorn made with marinated chicken breast.
Plus, she cooked all the semi-finished products she had bought.
Fries, skewered meat, shrimp balls, connected meat and bone…
Not to mention the outside, she had stored a total of fifty boxes in the space.
This made eating much more convenient, worried about the stewed meat being too soupy, Jhiang Yuan placed everything by the bed, separated from the rest.
During this time, she was so busy she barely touched the ground, up until ten o’clock at night.
Xiao Nuan was extremely sleepy, and seeing her daughter so tired, her mother finally sent her off to rest.
After a quick wash, she went to bed, everything else was fine.
It was just that her calves were cramping, from standing too long.
She hadn’t had a chance to check her phone, and the group chat was exploding.
In the afternoon, someone actually went out from building 13, carrying a large basin, a total of six people.
Someone captured a video, clearly from an upper floor’s angle.
Then, there was all sorts of heated discussions.
Some people were quietly praying, others were hoping to help bring back something.
Their target was the supermarket in front of the property management; Jhiang Yuan strongly suspected they had discussed in the group before and then formed a smaller group.
Later, more people went out.
In the afternoon, a body appeared outside the neighborhood.
Many had seen it, and lots of videos were sent, taken by different people.
In such a fearful situation, the first reaction of the survivors was to call the police.
As you can imagine, despair began to spread…
Fortunately, the six who had left returned safely, and even managed to bring back plenty.
This resulted in cheers within the group, and some even shared the videos in other groups.
They offered a glimmer of hope to those feeling desperate and helpless, reinvigorating everyone.
Among them, Xia Chaoyang’s WeChat was very active, as was Bai Mengmeng’s, both complementing each other well and seeming quite harmonious.
However, their private group chat lit up, prompting Jhiang Yuan to quickly check it.
It turned out that Zhang Kaiyang was lamenting in the group, providing precise live updates.
Zhang Kaiyang: “This way, I guess a lot of people will start searching for supplies outside, and the shops near the entrance won’t escape the trouble.
@everyone, should we make another trip while it’s still early?”
There was endless silence below, and then Song Yi spoke up first.
Song Yi: “I agree, there might be nothing left later on, now is a pretty good chance.”
Zhang Kaiyang: “Brother Song, how about we also head to the supermarket near the property management office this time, there are more goods over there.”
Ye Mianmian: “They already brought back quite a lot today, I wonder how much is left.”
Zhang Kaiyang: “Something is better than nothing; we’ve got to make a trip no matter what.”
Ye Mianmian: “Ah, if only we could go to our company, there’s loads of stuff there.”
