It was not yet six o'clock when it was dark.

Xu Qing turned on the light, and the room suddenly lit up.

Xia Yi was surprised, "You can still use electricity?" ”

It was so cold in the house, and there was no heating or anything, she thought that the circuits in Jiangli City were also paralyzed.

Xu Qing showed a faint smile: "Every morning and evening from six to eight o'clock in the electricity supply, there is a limit to the electricity consumption of each household, and there is an additional fee for exceeding the degree, so I only turn on the light at night every day." ”

If you turn on the air conditioner or cook frequently, you will need more electricity. So she only fired every few days.

"Miss Xia, you help me take a look at Xiaofei, I'll go get something to eat."

Xia Yi nodded: "Do you want to help?" ”

"There's not much I can do."

Gu Fei also likes this alien sister very much, the alien sister will not only make a fire at once, but also give him sweet candy to eat.

He honestly nested next to Xia Yi, holding his favorite picture book and sharing it with Xia Yi.

Xu Qing brought the two big bags of supplies she brought back today to the kitchen, she took out a few frozen potatoes, carefully peeled off the skin, and then dug up the seriously damaged parts.

The potatoes are not as big as the palm of her hand, if only she and her son are enough, the remaining few can be kept for tomorrow, but Xia Yi is kind to her family Xiaofei, so she can't help but give food to others.

After thinking about it, Xu Qing added another potato.

She didn't bother to wash it with water, so she shoveled a pot of snow from the balcony, rubbed it with it, and cut it into small pieces.

She took out a palm-sized piece of fatty pork from another bag, and didn't bother to put it all away, but carefully cut it off a fifth, and buried the rest in an ice bucket.

Poured a little oil into the pot, Xu Qing stir-fried the messy meat twice, then added a basin of snow water with ice ballast, poured the potatoes into it, sprinkled some seasoning, stirred twice and covered the lid and cooked.

In another bag were a dozen steamed buns that had been frozen hard and a small packet of broken rice.

Xu Qing carefully took out the broken rice and poured it into the already clean rice box, so the rice was not even covered under the box.

The pot began to heat up, and the ice and snow were melted into water, Xu Qing hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot and flipped it over, put a steamer on it, and put the steamed buns on top and then closed the lid.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Qing carefully poked the steamed bun with chopsticks, and felt that it was almost over, so she quickly turned off the fire, took down the steamed bun, and took a larger bowl to fill the bowl.

There are not many potatoes and meat, and the bowl is mostly soup.

But Xu Qing didn't waste it, these broths can be eaten tomorrow with steamed buns.

When Xia Yi saw the bowl of white roasted potatoes on the table, he was a little silent.

She remembers that when she went to the kitchen before, she saw soy sauce and all kinds of other spices, all of which were quite complete.

Maybe people don't like soy sauce.

Xia Yi thought so.

Gu Fei had already wowed on the table, and his saliva was about to flow down: "Meat has meat, mom I want to eat meat, and I want potatoes too." ”

After taking the medicine and sleeping for a while, Gu Fei's fever subsided a lot, and his face became more normal.

Xu Qing gave him a steamed bun, and then sandwiched a few more pieces of meat and potatoes.

Gu Fei said obediently: "Thank you, Mom." ”

Then he took his spoon and took small bites.

"Miss Xia, doesn't your friend have to wake up for dinner?"

Xu Qing greeted Xia Yi twice, and asked Ruan Yulai, who was still asleep.

Xia Yi said: "She will get up and eat by herself when she is hungry, let's eat, don't worry about her." ”

Anyway, she couldn't scream, Xia Yi was a little melancholy.

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Now the conditions are not good, I can only use these to entertain Miss Xia, Miss Xia don't dislike it." ”

Xia Yi hurriedly said: "No, no, it's already good to be able to eat these now." ”

Xia Yi took a piece of potato and put it in his mouth, his expression was a little indescribable.

Not to mention that the potatoes are not cooked, and they don't have any taste, so I don't even put salt, which is no different from boiled potatoes.

"Miss Xia doesn't think it's delicious?" Xu Qing looked at Xia Yi's face and became a little embarrassed: "It was all made by Xiaofei's father before, I haven't done this, and I just learned it during this time, and my cooking skills are not very good." ”

"It's delicious, it's just that I'm full at noon, and I'm not very hungry now"

Xia Yi asked as if unintentionally: "The materials are not easy to handle now, Sister Xu, where did you get the materials back?" ”

There was a moment of panic on Xu Qing's face, she subconsciously looked at Gu Fei, who was eating with relish, and uncomfortably pulled her hair up, and pulled the zipper of her clothes up.

"Just, just look outside, there is a supermarket outside the community, and you can still find a little material inside. Miss Xia has just arrived in Jiangli City, so she shouldn't be familiar with this side, and it's normal that she doesn't know. ”

Xia Yi looked at her face and took a bite of steamed buns, "It's Fuyun to come to the supermarket, we saw it when we came over, the supermarket door was blocked by ice and snow, and only a billboard was still exposed." Sister Xu looks such a weak person, but she is so powerful to break such a thick layer of ice and enter it. ”

Xu Qing's eyes flashed uncomfortably, and she went to play with her hair again: "I didn't go through the gate, the supermarket has a small door, and I entered from the small door." This dish is going to be cold, Miss Xia hurry up and eat it, the power will be cut off in a while. ”

Xia Yi smiled at her and didn't say anything more.

may have been fed by Ruan Yu, she couldn't get used to this kind of tasteless dish, and she only ate half a steamed bun, and she said that she was full.

Gu Fei ate a steamed bun, Xu Qing also ate one, and put the rest away again and kept it for tomorrow.

After dinner, Xu Qing wiped Gu Fei's face and stuffed the person into the quilt, singing children's songs to lull the person to sleep.

Gu Fei was originally a separate children's room, but the weather became cold and he couldn't turn on the heating, Xu Qing was afraid that he would take the quilt to sleep with him in the middle of the night.

As soon as the child was put to sleep, the power went out.

Xu Qing carefully closed the bedroom door, and then skillfully found the lighter and candle in the dark, the faint candlelight lit up, and Xu Qing saw Xia Yi who was still sitting on the sofa at a glance.

She walked over in surprise, "Miss Xia, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"It's too early to sleep." At this time, she was still watching TV and playing games.

"The network is paralyzed after the end of the world, which is indeed a bit unaccustomed to us living in the Internet age. However, it is cold at night, so Miss Xia should rest early and don't freeze. There is a quilt in the quilt cupboard in the guest room, so if Miss Xia is cold at night, you can cover it a little more. ”

Xu Qing smiled, left the candle for Xia Yi and went back to the room.

Xia Yi sat for a while, felt the coldness coming, touched his arm, and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day she was woken up by the sound of ping-pong.

In the kitchen, Xu Qing was chopping ice cubes with a knife, mixing them with snow and putting them in a pot to cook.

This is their way of getting clean water.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Xia Yi standing at the door, she was startled, and then she remembered that there were outsiders at home.

"I'm sorry Miss Xia, it's noisy until you rest."

Xia Yi shook her head, seeing that her hands were red from the cold, and there were still sporadic pieces of broken ice in the pot next to her, "Do you want to help?" ”

Xu Qing hurriedly said, "No, no, I just want to boil some water to drink." ”

"I'd better do it, and I'm going to turn them into water."

Xia Yi walked over, put his hands on the iron basin, and in less than a while, the ice cubes inside quickly melted, and then slowly began to steam.

"Alright."

Xia Yi looked at the large and small basins and buckets still placed in the kitchen, which were filled with all kinds of ice cubes or snowflakes.

"Do you want to melt water too?"

Xu Qing looked stunned, nodded, and then quickly shook his head: "No, no need, these are enough." ”

Her eyes were full of surprise when she looked at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi didn't explain anything, she heard a knock on the door outside, so she went out to open the door.
