Chapter 111 Chop a chicken drumstick for extra dinner tonight
The four of us were swayed from side to side by the wind and snow, and they had to desperately keep their bodies steady to set up the tent. It was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, there were four cats running around to help, otherwise the tent would have been blown away by the wind once it was opened.
After working for an hour or two, it was completely dark before their tent was finally set up.
The two tents are placed next to each other, and the doors are also next to each other, making it easier for them to go back and forth.
The space of the tent is relatively large. Two tents are almost enough for them to put all the supplies in, and there is still room for sleeping and cooking.
Mu Qianqian shuttled back and forth between the two tents, her eyebrows creasing with a smile.
"I used to be very envious when I saw other people living in tents, but now I can finally live in a tent! The inside of the tent is just like I thought, it looks very cozy."
The tent does not look as spacious as a normal house, and now that it is filled to the brim with supplies, the space seems even smaller.
Sometimes, the smaller the space, the warmer it appears.
The old Taoist priest stood with his sleeves folded, his face full of pity, "It's such a pity those two big pot stations."
If you can have two large cooking pots and install them in two tents, the tents will definitely be warmer than now.
After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Nan Ci couldn't help but be silent for a moment.
The big pot in her house has been moved into the space, which is nothing to regret.
The only pity is the one used by the old Taoist priests.
This is a good thing. Although it will not disappear completely, it is not so easy to get it again.
Even the big pot in her space can’t be taken out.
Fortunately, she had expected it before, so when she threw something down, she threw the spare one.
Just as Nan Ci was thinking about it, Zhou Ziyang came over and said, "I saw a few simple pots that can be used to burn firewood and charcoal. They can be used for cooking and heating. They should be yours, Nan Ci, right?" Nan Ci nodded, "Yes, it's mine. It looked good, and it was easier to carry around, so I bought it. I bought it unexpectedly and never had a chance to use it."
"It's not a waste. Now there's a chance to use it, right?" Zhou Ziyang said with a smile, "But this is not completely enclosed. Whether you are burning charcoal or firewood, sparks will easily fly out, so be careful.
, otherwise a fire may easily occur.”
They only have so much supplies left. If they are burned by fire again, there will really be no place to cry.
Everyone knew that this was no small matter, so they nodded and agreed.
No matter how good the quality of this tent is, in the final analysis it is just a few layers of fabric. In the face of such extreme weather, the effect it can have is still very limited.
Now that I have found something to make a fire, I naturally want to light the fire quickly.
Two pots were lit in each of the two tents, with large iron pots and aluminum pots sitting on them. After a while, the water boiled and noodles and porridge were cooked.
After working for so long, they haven't eaten anything.
I feel hungry when I am busy, but in order to have a place to stay at night, I can only grit my teeth and endure it.
Now that we have entered the warmer tent, our chest is pressed against our back with hunger.
The old Taoist priest looked out eagerly, "Why don't you cut up some chicken and boil it to see what it tastes like."
This is the first time they have found fresh meat outside after the apocalypse, and it would be a pity not to try it.
Not to mention the old Taoist priest who wants to have a taste, Nanci and the others also want to have a taste.
When it comes to food, Mu Qianqian is very positive, "Taoist Priest, Nanci, you wait here, I'll go out and cut some meat and come back."
It was completely dark outside, and the wind and snow were heavy. Of course, Zhou Ziyang was worried about Mu Qianqian going out alone, so he hurriedly followed him out.
Watching the two of them go out, the old Taoist priest smacked his lips and said, "Let's make some ice bricks tomorrow and build them up on all four sides. It's still not good to just rely on a tent to keep out the wind and snow."
Nan Ci agreed very much with this and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, we'll do it tomorrow at dawn."
Making ice bricks is not difficult. They have enough charcoal fires and there is enough snow outside. It is not difficult to make ice bricks.
As far as the current situation is concerned, if nothing unexpected happens, they should stay here for a long time. It is still very necessary to strengthen the surroundings of the tent.
While the two were talking, Mu Qianqian ran in happily.
She only held the knife in her hand, not the chicken.
You know without asking that Zhou Ziyang must be holding the chicken at the back.
This was indeed the case. After a while, Zhou Ziyang walked in, holding a large piece of chicken in his arms.
Mu Qianqian sighed, "It was so frozen that it was not easy to cut. It took me a long time to cut off only such a large piece of meat from the chicken leg."
That piece of meat seemed to weigh at least twenty kilograms, which was enough for the four of them.
However, it is not just the four of them who eat meat, but also four cats and a little turtle.
Nan Ci stood up, "You guys put away this piece of meat first, I'll go out and get some back."
We will live together in the future, and it will be inconvenient to open a small stove for the four cats, so we must make their appetite clear.
Nan Ci was stronger and the knife in his hand was faster. He slashed several times along the place where Mu Qianqian and the others had cut, and finally cut off the leg that Mu Qianqian had not cut off just now.
To be precise, what was chopped off was not a complete chicken leg, but a chicken shank.
But because this chicken is so big, even the chicken legs are half as tall as Nanci.
Holding it in my arms, it is even more heavy, weighing at least over a hundred kilograms.
With more than a hundred kilograms of meat in her arms, Nan Ci didn't feel heavy at all, she just felt happy.
The four cats and the little turtle are full!
Just as Nan Ci was about to turn around and go back, he suddenly heard movement not far away.
Those were the sounds of approaching footsteps.
It can be heard that the owner of the voice has tried to walk as softly as possible.
However, the newly fallen snow is relatively soft, and humans are not kittens. Every step you step on it will inevitably make a squeaking sound.
Drinking is only possible because Nan Ci’s hearing is much better than the average person.
For ordinary people, if the wind is so strong, you may not be able to hear it.
Nan Ci turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
Although the sky was completely dark, the snow was white, and Nan Ci had good eyesight, so he could still vaguely see several people approaching a few meters away.
These people were all wrapped up tightly, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, old or young.
Nan Ci didn't make any noise, and these people probably didn't expect to be discovered, and they were still groping forward with light steps.
It wasn't until they were only one or two meters away from Nan Ci that they realized that Nan Ci was watching them quietly.
