Chapter 1280 Surviving in the last days of natural disasters (7)

This warning email is like cold water dripping into a hot pan of oil—it’s boiling!

Although it is not ruled out that this is a prank by some netizen, what if it is true?

 If nothing else, it is indeed rare in history that a large-scale rainy season that lasts for half a month across the country has caused widespread flooding.

 As a result, some officials feel that “it’s better to believe what they have than what they don’t have.”

 Some people think it must be a prank, and it is pure nonsense to talk about the end of the world due to natural disasters!

 Suddenly, two factions with opposing views emerged within the government.

These were beyond Xu Yin's control. After she sent the email, she got into bed and fell asleep.

 The weak body of a six-year-old cannot withstand the torment.

 When I woke up the next day, I found that she was the last to get up.

Xu Dong teased her without fear of death: "Yin Yin, you can sleep so well now! You will soon become a lazy pig!"

 After saying that, he also imitated the little pig's croaking.

Xu Yin: Believe it or not, sister took back the bacon and sausages that she took out, hum!

Ning Jin waved a hatchet and shouted outside the door: "Dongdong, don't bully Yin Yin."

"I didn't bully her... Okay, okay." Xu Dong walked forward with a small coat that was not old, and muttered, "Yinyin, let me help you get dressed. It's a bit cold today, Ning Brother Ning said we need to put on a coat. We can eat after we get dressed. If you don’t get up, Brother Ning won’t let us eat first.”

Xu Yin took the coat and avoided Xu Dong's chubby hand: "I will do it myself."

 “What are you doing here by yourself? You don’t know how to dress.”

　　　…”

“Brother Ning! Dongdong! Come quickly! There is rice here! Lots and lots of rice!”

Xu Xi lay down outside the window of the employee dormitory and looked around again. After confirming that the pile of rice on the bench was rice, he excitedly jumped three feet high, and then ran back to report the good news while shouting:

"Really! I won't lie to you! In the room where Aunt Xiao Zhu lived before, there is so much rice that I can't even count it."

That’s true!

 Xu Yin nodded in agreement.

 She stacked twelve five kilogram bags of rice.

Little friend Xu Xi can only count numbers within one palm so far. If it exceeds the number, it will shut down.

As soon as she heard there was rice, Ning Jin dropped the hatchet in her hand and ran to see it with Xu Dong. After running a few steps, she turned back, helped Xu Yin put on her coat and zipped it up, and led her to the employee dormitory. .

Xu Dong opened the door first and took a look: "Xixi, you read that right, it's really rice! How did you find out?"

Xu Xi puffed up his chest: "I wanted to find a good place to hide and seek. I passed by here and saw it through the window!"

Xu Dong scratched his head: "But I was here yesterday, why didn't I notice it?"

 “That’s because you are stupid!”

 “You are stupid!”

 The two childish ghosts started to quarrel again.

Ning Jin led Xu Yin around them and walked into the room. She touched the rice bag and found it was very dry. She was confused: "Before the heavy rain, didn't the dean say that there was almost no rice left and he had to go to the supermarket to buy rice? Where did the rice come from? Woolen cloth?"

"Could it be that the dean's mother went out to buy it when Yinyin had a fever? You need to drink rice porridge to get better quickly." Xu Dong started thinking.

“Who said that?” Xu Xi akimbo retorted, “If you have a fever, take medicine to get better quickly.”

“That’s what the dean’s mother said.” Xu Dong’s small mouth kept blaring, “People are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don’t eat one meal, you will be hungry; if you are sick, drink a bowl of rice porridge to keep the virus away!”

　　　…”

“There is something in the box too.” Ning Jin stood on tiptoes and lowered the mouth of the carton to take a look, “Dongdong, go and bring a chair over.”

Xu Dong still obeyed Ning Jin's instructions. He quickly went to another room to bring a stool and asked curiously: "Brother Ning, what's in the box?"

Ning Jin stood up on the stool and took a clear look at the contents of the box. Her eyebrows widened and she said, "There is food! Milk powder, eggs, and Dongdong's favorite bacon and sausage... There are also quilts and clothes!"

"Very good!"

 Xu Dong and Xu Xi jumped up happily.

"Brother Ning, why did you put it back?" Seeing Ning Jin pick up a can of milk powder and put it back, Xu Dong asked in confusion.

 “In case someone else left it here with the dean…”

"Oh..." Xu Dong drooped the corner of his mouth, "Then if we run out of food, can you come and get some? Just a little?"

　　　…”

Xu Yin couldn't help but have a headache when she saw how honest these children were. Wasn't her work last night in vain?

 When Ning Jin jumped off the stool, she climbed up quickly before he could react.

He picked up a can of milk powder and stuffed it into Ning Jin's hand. He took out a vacuum-packed sausage and handed it to Xu Dong. He also took a pack of calcium-supplementing children's snacks Boli Seaweed and handed it to Xu Xi. He also held a box of green shells. egg:

"eat!"

 …

At noon that day, a long-lost rich aroma of rice floated over the orphanage.

 The claypot rice, which is stewed with sausage, eggs, mushrooms, fungus, broccoli and rice, is so fragrant that people want to drool before even opening the lid.

The casserole used to stew claypot rice is used by the dean’s mother to stew braised pork and sausage during the Chinese New Year. The children have seen her stew it several times and often help the dean’s mother cook. They know the general process -

 It is nothing more than putting the soaked rice in, making the water level with the rice, boiling it, then adding the sausage, mushrooms, and fungus in order, continuing to cook, and finally adding the eggs and broccoli.

Although it is difficult to control the heat, children are used to using "smell" to indicate whether the food is cooked or not -

 Smelling fragrant means it is ripe.

 Turn off the fire door and simmer for a while, then you can eat it.

"Ah! It smells so good!" Xu Dong leaned over the stove in an exaggerated manner, showing that he was fascinated by the aroma of rice. "When will the meal be served? I am so hungry that I can hardly stand."

 “Let’s start dinner!” Ning Jin felt that it was almost done and opened the lid of the casserole.

"Wow-"

 “It smells so good!”

 The aroma of sausage, mushrooms, and ecological rice all hit your nostrils at the same time.

Let alone Xu Dong and Xu Xi, even Xu Yin couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, picked up a small bowl, and asked Ning Jin to serve rice.

Ning Jin took a spatula and found that the rice at the bottom had formed into crusts. When it was turned over, it was browned and crispy.

 “Who wants to eat crispy rice?”

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

No one doesn’t like to eat delicious rice crackers.

 Finally, each child had a piece of rice cracker, a spoonful of rice, a few slices of sausage, and half an egg in his bowl. Mushrooms, fungus, and broccoli were also equally divided. It’s impossible to be a picky eater!

“It’s delicious! It’s even better than the braised sausage rice cooked by the dean’s mother during the Chinese New Year!” Xu Dong praised it while eating.

Xu Yin nodded: the sausage is stuffed with Tibetan pig belly, the rice is Wuchang Daohuaxiang produced in the ecological farm, the eggs are green-shelled eggs from chickens in the bamboo forest, the broccoli was grown by herself before, and the mushrooms and fungus were collected by the dean’s mother. If the wild products from the mountains were placed in the private restaurants I visited in my previous life, this claypot rice would cost at least four figures.

 The pot of claypot rice was divided up neatly among the four children, and their stomachs felt full after eating it.

 After dividing the work and washing the pots and pans, Xu Dong pulled up Xu Xi and said, "Let's go! Let's go look for it. Maybe there's something delicious somewhere."

 He was full of energy to explore the orphanage.

 Xu Yin: “…”

 This child also found out about addiction.

I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them this time.

 The water has not receded yet, and the moisture is too heavy. She does not intend to release too much at once.

 Not to mention there is a "reward opportunity" every two days, which is enough for them to live for the time being.
