Chapter Eighty-Six: Furnishing the Dwelling

When I woke up, it was dark outside.

There was still a faint ray of sunlight in the sky, the sky turned reddish-gray, and a few wandering white clouds loomed under the cover of gray. The buildings not far from the outside are faintly revealing warm lighting colors.

may be because of the stability in his heart, or it may be similar to the "lights of ten thousand homes" before the end of the world, although looking at the usual evening sky, Lin Xiaoquan also feels extremely beautiful.

Thinking that he didn't have time to complete today's "cultivation" homework because he was in a hurry to do the test this morning, Koizumi now seized the time to mobilize his mental power to complete the "Ten Duanjin".

After completing the final step of "returning to the roots", Koizumi slowly stopped "cultivating".

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner again, Lin Xiaoquan planned to continue to "hide people's eyes" this time.

She took out the luggage that had not been packed at noon one by one and stored it, and decorated the small room with warmth and practicality.

On the left-hand side of the door is a door that leads directly to the restroom, which has a small sink, squatting toilet and shower facilities. On the night she first arrived, she had flushed the entire bathroom.

Opposite the bathroom door, on the right hand side of the door, is a row of wardrobes and lockers.

After scrubbing the inside and outside of the cabinet, Koizumi hung the warm jacket he often wore in his luggage on the clothes rail of the wardrobe, and then put his underwear and underwear on one side in several foldable fabric drawer-type storage boxes.

She then placed the duffel bag, which contained infrequently used clothing fabrics, directly on the partition at the bottom of the cabinet.

There are also two lockers next to the two-door wardrobe, one with a door and the other without a door, open.

Lin Xiaoquan sorted the daily necessities he brought and put them in the lockers with cabinet doors.

Then some commonly used stoves, pots and bowls, chopsticks, cups, and saucers were layered on open partition lockers.

Through the bathroom door on the left and the narrow aisle of the cabinet on the right, you will enter a square space, with a wooden bed about 1.2 meters wide on the left side of the whole space, and a small wooden table and a chair on the right side.

The wooden head of the bed is against the wall, and there is a bedside table where the head of the bed is against the wall on the side of the bathroom. Lin Xiaoquan found a piece of light beige fabric of the same color as the bedding and spread it on it. That corner suddenly has a sense of design.

As for the table opposite the bed, Lin Xiaoquan pushed the table against the wall and spread a layer of rubber cushions on the table.

The rubber mat was used on the dormitory desk before. Now it is spread on the table, which is convenient for Lin Xiaoquan to light candles and cook some food on the stove simply. Lin Xiaoquan was glad that he had packed all his luggage with him.

By this time, it had become dark outside. Lin Xiaoquan put the candlestick on the table and lit the candle.

Although electric lights can be used in the base, he is not busy with his business now, and he is not even cultivating. Lin Xiaoquan thought that he could save money, so he still chose to use candles for basic lighting. In addition, I have spent a period of time in the school dormitory adapting like this.

After cleaning up the room almost, Lin Xiaoquan continued to work outside.

Next to the bed there is a balcony with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a small terrace. On the outer side of the terrace, there is no railing installed above, and below it is a thick concrete wall, unlike some of the lower residential areas, which are neatly arranged with railings.

Two drying poles were installed above the head of the terrace, and other than that, the whole thing was bare, and there was nothing else.

Lin Xiaoquan looked at the bare balcony and the clothes pole above his head, and thought that he didn't have a clothes pole.

She went back indoors to find a hanger, and gestured with her feet, and found that fortunately the terrace was not high, and she could barely hang the hanger by hand.

When he turned around and was about to go back indoors, Lin Xiaoquan saw the situation in the room clearly through the dim candlelight of the room through two transparent, non-private glass sliding doors.

Koizumi frowned, returned to the room, looked up and saw the curtain rod above the door, and breathed a sigh of relief.

So she didn't care about her stomach, which had already begun to sing "Empty City Plan", and immediately started to dig out her bed curtain in the dormitory from her luggage.

Looking at the dim candlelight on the table, Lin Xiaoquan finally turned on the electric light in the room.

Although the electric light was not as bright as before the end of the world, at least with the double bonus of light and candlelight, Lin Xiaoquan felt that the light was enough to catch up with his needlework.

Lin Xiaoquan dismantled the bed curtain and turned it into a flat large blackout cloth, then pulled up the blackout cloth transformed by the bed curtain and gestured at the glass sliding door, and presented the inner circle of the cloth strip on one side of the fabric.

Eventually, a pair of curtains was transformed. Lin Xiaoquan stepped on the chair, hung up the curtains, and looked at the fruits of his labor, very satisfied.

After finishing the layout of the entire residence, Lin Xiaoquan smiled happily.

Then, after washing his hands, Lin Xiaoquan found a bottle from his daily necessities stacked on the open compartment, poured out a black ball from the bottle, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The black balls that Lin Xiaoquan put in his mouth looked exactly the same as the "Bigu Pills" that everyone was eating outside now, but they were actually the black sesame balls that Lin Xiaoquan made himself in the Taoyuan space.

At the beginning, after seeing that everyone was using "Bigu Pills" as a staple food, Lin Xiaoquan had the idea that he would also make similar balls in case of emergency.

Lin Xiaoquan remembers that when he was a child, his grandmother would make some "nine sesame balls" from time to time as a small snack for himself. So when she was in the dormitory before, she secretly learned from her grandmother to make homemade sesame balls when she entered the space after her roommates were asleep.

The "Nine Sesame Balls" made by my grandmother is more complicated, the process is cumbersome and time-consuming, mainly using black sesame seeds and honey, according to the practice of nine steaming and nine drying: black sesame seeds are washed, steamed, dried and harvested nine times.

Lin Xiaoquan didn't spend too much time, he directly washed the black sesame seeds and steamed them in a steamer for 1 and a half hours, then put them in the space to dry them completely, fried them over low heat, and then grinded them into a flowing sauce with a stone grinder, and added honey. Reheat and stir-fry, wait for the last step to cool slightly, and then roll it into the balls that you need to adapt to the size while it is hot, and you can do it.

Black sesame pills strengthen the brain and nourish the brain, nourish the hair, beautify the skin, and are very healthy. Usually it's fine, Koizumi also likes to secretly take out one and chew it in his mouth, but the problem is that the homemade black sesame balls are too dark in color and exude a sweet smell.

Later, Lin Xiaoquan added other beans such as Huaishan and peanuts to the sesame seeds, and the final product was not so black in color, but the smell was still so sweet.

Of course, one or two "sesame pills" are not as filling as the real "Bigu pills". Lin Xiaoquan took advantage of his work to sweat a little, and once again "darkened Chen Cang" in the shower, entered the Taoyuan space to "eat a large piece" and soak in the hot spring comfortably.
