NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: Overwhelming wealth
Under extreme cold, it is difficult for various microorganisms to grow and reproduce quickly, so the corpse decomposes extremely slowly.
The family in Villa 048 has been dead for nearly a month.
Their bodies, still largely intact, were randomly dumped in the hall and corridors of the villa.
The villa was vigorously rummaged through, and the housekeepers took away everything they thought was valuable.
But compared with the 008 villa, at least the furniture and furnishings here are still in place. After cleaning, you can move in with your bags.
Having been exposed to corpses since morning, the Gu family brothers and sisters have become completely immune to the horror of corpses.
They were working hard to move the several corpses out of the house and put them on Mu Jiu's heavy truck.
After cleaning up the living quarters in the villa, I thought about finding a place to bury these bodies.
Mu Jiu went back to his home and found an oversized stainless steel pot used in the cafeteria for cooking soup, as well as a few thick wood blocks that were resistant to burning. He brought them over and lit them in the lobby of the villa.
The cold 048 villa finally had a little warmth.
Mu Jiu took all the weapons and tools that the housekeeper had in his hands that morning from the car and gave them to the Gu brothers and sisters.
There are electric saws, shovels, axes, electric batons, daggers, etc., a total of 10 kinds.
Leave it for them to use when they go up the mountain to find supplies. After all, their family will have to rely on them to continue walking in the future.
These tools were piled up in Mu Jiu's space.
Due to limited firewood, the Gu brothers and sister temporarily restricted their activities to the hall on the first floor, huddled together to keep warm.
As for other places in the villa, we will slowly tidy them up in the future, which will take a long time anyway.
Cool was sleeping on the floor, so the two of them moved the single mattress from the bedroom on the first floor and placed it next to the fire in the hall, one on each side.
After taking care of their basic living needs, the siblings' stomachs growled at the same time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Mu Jiu accompanied the brother and sister around and unconsciously forgot what to eat. She was also a little hungry.
Mu Jiu would definitely not treat him badly.
After all, there are so many supplies stored in the space. If you don't eat too much, you will really be sorry for yourself in the next life.
As for the Gu brothers and sisters, they should be considered hers now.
How could she be stingy with such a small amount of food and fuss over everything with a child?
She didn't even bother to think about the possibility that the siblings would backstab her for food.
After all, in this chaotic post-apocalyptic year, she, Mu Jiu, has the absolute strength to protect the brother and sister in this resort where the housekeeper is domineering.
After a full meal, even a child can carry it.
So Mu Jiu generously went back to his house and brought all the ingredients and pots and bowls for cooking in a trolley.
Thinking that the environment in Villa 048 was relatively simple, Mu Jiu decided to make lunch simple and stew a whole mutton soup to fill everyone's stomach.
Mu Jiu took out a huge cauldron and placed it on the fire.
Let the brother and sister go to the high place in the yard to get a large amount of clean ice and snow, and pour it into the big pot.
Then pour in the ginger, garlic, cooking wine, etc. to remove the fishy smell.
Next is today’s protagonist~mutton. Mutton is a warming ingredient, which is very suitable for this extremely cold weather and can effectively expel the cold from the body.
Mu Jiu took out a whole piece of lamb ribs.
This is a 25-pound kid that Mu Jiureng's housekeeper Beibei slaughtered for her.
The mutton was fresh and tender, and it was a lamb that was just 2 months old in the space farm.
This immediately stunned the Gu family brothers and sisters.
Before the end of the world, this thing would not be considered valuable food to them.
But now I see that for the Gu brothers and sisters who have not eaten meat for several months, this is simply a heaven-sent delicacy!
Mu Jiu used a bone-chopping knife to chop the lamb chops into small pieces, put them into the ice and snow, and heated them to boil.
The Gu family brother and sister were like dogs waiting for food, holding bowls and squatting next to the big pot, greedily inhaling the aroma of the mutton soup.
Mu Jiu took out the wild mushrooms that the brother and sister had collected earlier and sent them to her house, and threw them into the pot.
Mu Jiu had already checked these wild mushrooms one by one with the steward Beibei of the space. They were not poisonous and had high nutritional value!
They delivered several large bags in batches. Mu Jiu ate them twice. They were very fresh and unique in flavor. She liked them very much.
So I dried them all in a machine, stored them, and planned to eat them slowly.
I just took it out today as a fresh side dish.
Then Mu Jiu conveniently threw in three large pieces of instant noodle cakes and three eggs, which were regarded as today's staple food.
Soon, a big pot of mushroom and mutton soup will be ready.
Mu Jiu personally filled bowls with soup, divided lamb chops, sandwiched noodles, and fished out eggs for the two of them.
The bowl Mu Jiu brought over was too big to be called a bowl. It had to be called a basin. It was a stainless steel basin that was bigger than your face!
Noodles, lamb chops and mushrooms were piled up like a hill, with a big egg on top of the hill.
Mu Jiu's arrogant way of eating almost scared the Gu brothers and sisters out of their wits. This meal was more than what they had eaten in the past month!
"Sister, there are so many... Let's finish this meal... Shouldn't we eat the next meal?" Gu Yang asked slightly worriedly.
Mu Jiu paused for three seconds while holding the rice bowl and made a decision:
"Well, while we are eating, I will announce something.
From now on, you two will be considered my people, and you will be at my disposal in everything. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me to solve them. "
Neither the Gu brother nor the sister hesitated for a second and nodded immediately, "Yeah!"
You know, my sister is the thigh that everyone in the resort wants to hug but can't!
Being picked up by my sister, I was really rich and wealthy~ I kicked the two brothers and sisters hard at the door!
"From now on, I will provide you with a full meal every day, including meat and fish, and you can take care of the rest by yourself, okay?"
Originally, with Mu Jiu's strength, he could manage three meals a day for them.
However, this is the end of the world after all, and the mother-like protection will not be a good thing for both parties.
It is better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish. Mu Jiu had the same idea of letting them rely on someone to make a living. She also hoped that the two siblings would be able to stand firm in the apocalypse.
The Gu brothers and sisters nodded like garlic, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
In the past, they could not even put a decent meal into their mouths, but now they not only have a full meal, but also meat. What kind of magical condition is this!
"Okay, it's cold and it takes a lot of energy. Only when you're full can you have the strength to work.
Don't you still have to go to the foot of the mountain to find a geomantic treasure to bury someone? Hurry up. If you really can't eat, forget it. "
After being reminded by Mu Jiu, the Gu family brother and sister hugged their rice bowls and started to show off regardless of their appearance.
Eat it all! For people like them who have experienced hunger, they must finish eating. Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to the food!
