Chapter 742 The Best Husband
Based on the forecast information that Jiang Momo obtained from the state-owned base, combined with the forecast results of 056, it can be judged that with the sharp drop in temperature, they are about to face a heavy snow disaster of unprecedented scale.
This snowstorm will not only bring extremely cold weather, but will also have far-reaching impacts.
During the snowstorm, the cold climate will indeed have a certain impact on the zombies, possibly slowing down their movements.
However, compared to dead creatures like zombies, the impact of such extreme weather on living beings like humans will be more severe.
Human beings need to face the challenge of severe cold, and living conditions will become more harsh.
Therefore, they must plan ahead and make adequate preparations in advance to deal with the upcoming severe tests.
Therefore, in addition to basic food, weapons and other necessities of life, Jiang Momo's list of supplies this time also placed special emphasis on supplies such as warmth and heating.
However, the warm materials she referred to were not those expensive high-end products such as down jackets or windbreakers, but some more practical and popular warm products.
Most of these items include ordinary thick clothes, warm cotton clothes, etc. They may be bulky to wear, but they can play a huge role in the cold winter.
It is worth mentioning that in order to make more efficient use of resources, this list even includes some second-hand thermal insulation materials. Jiang Momo feels that these second-hand materials can better play their value.
This request was made by Jiang Momo herself. It was already conspicuous enough for her to own a shelter in this doomsday, and she didn't want to be more conspicuous.
Moreover, the shelter cannot always provide new items in terms of resources, and these second-hand materials can meet their actual needs without being too conspicuous.
In addition, when it comes to choosing rice, flour and other grains, Jiang Momo still maintains his previous style and tends to choose some old grains.
Because old grain is cheaper and less conspicuous than new grain in supermarkets, it is undoubtedly a wiser choice for the long-term development of their shelter.
The Logistics Department was very willing to cooperate with Jiang Momo's request from the very beginning.
The clothes, quilts and even some second-hand daily necessities they need cost less than one-tenth of the price of new items, and they are also very easy to collect. They only need to be simply disinfected before they can be traded.
In addition, this practice not only achieves the recycling and reuse of resources, but also contributes to improving the environment.
More importantly, these seemingly insignificant second-hand materials can also be exchanged for valuable resources in that dimension. Not only the logistics department is willing to do so, but the leaders are even more willing as well.
So why not meet Jiang Momo's needs?
What a good partner! Except for weapons and a small amount of fresh food, most of the things they need are old, or even discarded.
Therefore, both parties are very satisfied with the materials needed and given to each other.
After Lu Xi asked them to get busy, she of course had to prepare the necessary things on her side.
I have just said that I would treat Jiang Momo well, to calm the little girl down, and let her have a good meal. I can't put the words aside and of course I have to do what I said.
We have to hurry up.
As for Rong Yu and the others, after they have done the preparation work in advance, they won't be in a hurry.
Just go over and check the supplies and then put the things into the space. There is no need to waste time at all.
Lu Xi took brisk steps, taking two steps at a time, and walked towards the second floor.
She is the kind of person who never fights a battle without preparation. Since she mentioned inviting Jiang Momo to dinner, it means that the meal had actually been prepared in advance.
And the person who prepared it was none other than their family's chef, Comrade Cang Wuya. When he was pulled downstairs by the system just now, Lu Xi had already instructed him to prepare it.
It should be about the same time now.
Lu Xi went upstairs and just as she stepped into the living room, she saw several kittens in the house seemed to have been waiting there for a long time, and they rushed towards her one after another.
The soft meow of a cat instantly echoed in the living room, "Hey, these little clips, are they thirsty or hungry?"
Lu Xi was seduced by the voice and squatted down involuntarily. She gently touched the little guy who couldn't wait to rub against her legs.
The fur is soft and smooth, and feels great to the touch, it's really hard to put it down.
She guessed that these little guys might be bored, or frightened by the occasional aura of Cang Wuya, so when they saw her come back, they were all extremely excited.
Although she also wanted to play with them for a while, she couldn't delay her important work and couldn't let herself be distracted by toys.
Lu Xi stood up and glanced at the two automatic feeders placed side by side. The transparent shells showed that there was plenty of food left inside, and the water bowls were also full.
That’s no problem, the little guys can roam free today.
After retracting her gaze, she walked towards the kitchen. As she walked, she lowered her head and said to the little ones around her feet:
"I have something to do today, so I really don't have time to play with you guys! Just go and find some fun on your own."
"Meow~" "Meow~" The kittens' calls were softer and more lingering, as if they were little hooks, trying to hook Lu Xi's heart.
She smiled and shook her head. "Hey, usually when I wanted to play with you guys, you all ignored me unless I opened a can of food. But now you all take the initiative to flirt with me."
There was a lot of smile in Lu Xi's words, and it was obvious that she felt helpless and amused about the behavior of these little guys.
She knew, of course, that these little guys could understand some human language, but the more they understood, the more rebellious they became.
After entering the kitchen, Lu Xi quickly pushed all the little guys who followed in out, then gently closed the door, successfully keeping the group of little followers and potential stumbling blocks out.
As soon as she closed the door, the tempting aroma from the kitchen began to linger around her nose, making her mouth water.
Wow, this fragrance is so delicious that it makes me drool.
Cang Wuya's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary, and the dishes he makes taste very tempting.
Lu Xi took a deep breath and her eyes fell on the person in an apron who was skillfully stirring the wok in front of the stove.
Two words involuntarily emerged in her mind - "the best husband".
With a narrow waist and a wide back, the apron tied on her body makes her look particularly stylish. If people who don’t know the situation see it, they might think it’s a video of some handsome guy. But no, it’s a food video.
Cang Wuya was stunned for a moment, but it was fleeting and he immediately continued with his actions.
Then, as if he suddenly noticed Lu Xi's gaze, he turned his gaze over, with a hint of confusion and doubt in his eyes, as if silently asking her if she had said anything just now.
Lu Xi suddenly realized that the thought in her mind just now was a little inappropriate, and she quickly pursed her lips, feeling secretly annoyed in her heart.
Ah, I am really careless with my words. I accidentally let out all those weird thoughts in my mind.
A trace of embarrassment quietly crept into Lu Xi's heart. She knew that Cang Wuya must have heard it. People like them have sharp ears. If he didn't respond, it might be because there was nothing to respond to, or he might be shocked by his boss's evaluation of him.
It’s okay, it’s okay. Fortunately, he is one of us and he shouldn’t care too much about her slip of the tongue, Lu Xi comforted herself.
It was all her fault that she had been obsessed with novels these past two days and had read all sorts of random things, so that she would utter some inexplicable words and sentences from time to time.
Alas, tonight’s novel reading time has been cancelled.
Since Cang Wuya pretended not to hear it, Lu Xi also pretended that she had not said anything outrageous. She smiled and said, "I mean, the food you cooked smells really good. Is it all ready? Can we eat now?"
She comforted herself very sincerely that as long as she could hold it together, she would not be the one who was embarrassed.
After hearing that the question was about the dishes, Cang Wuya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Being called the "excellent husband" just now, he did feel a little conflicted and didn't know how to respond.
Although he had never heard of the word, he could roughly understand its meaning from the context, and he was extremely reluctant to acknowledge such a label.
So, Cang Wuya calmed himself down and replied, "This is the last dish for dinner. The water for the dumplings has already boiled, but the dumplings haven't been put into the pot yet."
Although their boss's thinking was very erratic, he was able to make up for it quickly. The two of them tacitly pretended that nothing had happened.
Hearing this, Lu Xi hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Then I'll do it. You can finish the dish you are preparing first."
After saying that, she turned and walked to the sink, washed her hands carefully, then picked up the two boxes of dumplings on the dining table and prepared to put them in the pot.
These three boxes of dumplings were all raw. One box was the leftover from last time, which contained dumplings made by Lu Xi; the other two boxes were rushed by Cang Wuya in order to make up for the shortage.
After all, although Jiang Momo was invited to dinner tonight, it was actually a dinner for them all.
Lu Xi just made some wild remarks downstairs, saying that she made the dumplings herself, which was actually true.
Although most of the dumplings were made by Cang Wuya, Cang Wuya is Lu Xi's person, so to some extent, they can also be considered as made by her "personally".
Therefore, Lu Xi can be said to have no shame.
More importantly, these wrapped dumplings are stored in the space, so their freshness is not much different from the taste of those just peeled.
After Lu Xi put the dumplings into the pot, Cang Wuya had already skillfully served the dishes in the pot onto exquisite plates.
Then, he walked to the sink very consciously and started to clean the pot.
I saw him holding a sponge for cleaning pots and pans, carefully creating circles of fine foam in the pot, and carefully cleaning every corner.
Lu Xi turned her head inadvertently and caught a glimpse of this scene.
I have to say that when a handsome man is working seriously, his every move exudes a unique charm, which is really pleasing to the eye.
But for Lu Xi, although being handsome is a beautiful scenery, it cannot be used as a meal, so Cang Wuya should just go and cook.
Lu Xi couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she watched Cang Wuya skillfully use kitchen paper to clean the water stains on the wok and carefully spray a layer of oil on it.
This chef has already learned how to take care of the pot. It is indeed a bit unfair to have this pot worth several hundred dollars follow him. This man treats the kitchen utensils so carefully. He is really dedicated.
Therefore, Lu Xi very "consciously" gave up her seat, and then instructed Cang Wuya: "Pay attention to the dumplings in the pot.
Also, put out a plate of the pickled vegetables you prepared, we will eat them soon. For the rest, find a clean box and put it away. I will give it away later."
Lu Xi was not polite at all when giving orders. This was probably because Cang Wuya had been too submissive in recent days and was very adept at doing things, which made her gradually get used to this way of getting along.
Just treat him as the housekeeper, cook, or servant of the family...
What Lu Xi needed just now actually came from a dish that Cang Wuya had learned online recently.
During this period of time, he devoted himself to research and learned many food recipes from the Internet, including a small cold dish that Lu Xi liked very much - sour fruit and vegetable.
This fruit and vegetable pickle is different from ordinary pickled dishes. Although it is also pickled with sugar and vinegar, Cang Wuya cleverly added passion fruit during the production process, which makes its taste very outstanding and delicious.
When Lu Xi tasted it for the first time, she was amazed by it, especially the lotus root slices, which became her favorite.
Thinking of this, Lu Xi felt that her saliva was about to flow again. She really couldn't resist this crispy, sweet and sour thing.
Later she will prepare for you to share the food with the little girl Momo. She remembers that she also likes to eat sweet and sour things.
Cang Wuya naturally agreed to all of Lu Xi's requests, especially when she asked to pack up the cold dishes to take away, he was sincerely happy.
This means that the food he made by himself was recognized. It was the result of his own efforts, and the owner liked it very much, which also meant that she liked her craftsmanship.
This simple idea was a great encouragement to Cang Wuya.
After Lu Xi briefly instructed Cang Wuya in the kitchen, she turned around and walked out.
Unexpectedly, the little guys were still waiting obediently at the door. When they heard the door open, they looked up at Lu Xi eagerly, looking so cute and lovable.
Lu Xi looked at these round little cats' faces and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She couldn't help but admire that the people in her family were quite good at breeding techniques - no, to be more precise, they were quite good at raising pets.
