After returning to the Splendid Garden, with the help of the bodyguards, he carried the supplies and luggage to the twelfth floor first.

I didn't come back for a few days, and the neighborhood didn't change much, but the originally warm twelfth floor suddenly became cold and damp.

Chen Yuanyuan was about to give some of the supplies to Chu Man, but Chu Man hurriedly refused.

"No need, thank you for taking me to play!" Chu Man said.

"Take a little, Aunt Yan and Uncle Chu didn't go either, give them a try." He Yue Flower Road.

At the insistence of everyone on the twelfth floor, Chen Yuanyuan still asked Chu Man to take a box of supplies home.

And Zhang Linlin and Grandma He also took a fish and a piece of rabbit meat to the Tangtang family and 1104's two mothers and daughters, and went to the Chu family to pick up the year by the way.

The people who stayed on the twelfth floor were not idle, so He Yuehua took some ingredients from Chen Yuanyuan and prepared to cook a pot of seafood noodles simply.

Chen Yuanyuan was busy putting back the materials he had put away before departure, while Liu Feiyang reinstalled the disassembled generator.

Although there are neighbors on the eleventh floor to help watch the door, it is still not possible to be cautious in the last days, even if it is a little troublesome, but safety must be paramount.

After He Yuehua cooked the seafood noodles, several people were also busy, the heating in the house was slowly working, and several people were eating seafood noodles at 1202 to drive away the chill in their bodies.

I haven't seen them for a few days, and when I saw Chen Yuanyuan, I immediately got angry and bit her finger gently, I used to put it in He Yuehua's house, but now it's okay, and it's a cat at home.

In the next few days, life returned to the usual pace, and among the four little rabbits brought back, I didn't expect that one of the mothers was pregnant.

moved a small place at He Yuehua's house, set up a small nest, and let Grandma He be responsible for raising rabbits.

Originally, they wanted to send a pair to the eleventh floor for them to raise, but Chu Man and the others said that they would only divide a pair after giving birth to a little rabbit.

Several people spent the last day of 2023 on the twelfth floor, and there was no crowd on the street on the night of New Year's Eve, and no one set off fireworks in the dark night sky.

Chen Yuanyuan specially invited Pan Zhaofa and Pan Zhaoli to come over to eat hot pot together, and originally called Locke, but he didn't expect that he would stay on the island since Christmas, and planned to return to the institute after the New Year.

On the day of New Year's Eve, Chen Yuanyuan specially prepared a lot of ingredients to have a good meal, and after taking out the dragon grouper, Grandma He was taken aback.

"Oh good, this fish is bigger than my old woman." Grandma He said.

"Will you get this fish?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"I can cook it, but I can't cut it when it's so big." Grandma He said.

In the end, Liu Feiyang, the only strong man on the twelfth floor, made a move, holding a knife in one hand and a hammer in the other hand to split the nearly two hundred catties of fish.

After dividing the various parts of the fish, Chen Yuanyuan decided to cook more than one fish, and everyone began to work together to get busy.

First of all, after picking up the most tender fish belly, the remaining fish meat is cut into large pieces, marinated with ginger, minced garlic, red pepper and plenty of sea salt.

He Yuehua is responsible for the part of the fish head, half of the fish head is cut into small portions and marinated, the green onion and garlic are stir-fried in hot oil, and then the marinated fish head is stir-fried until fragrant, and then the secret sauce is added to make a jelly fish head pot.

After the remaining half of the fish head is cleaned, it is poured with yellow pepper sauce and red pepper sauce and steamed to make chopped pepper fish head.

After the thick fish skin is lightly oiled, it is then put into the Sichuan-style red soup mixed by Zhang Linlin to make boiled fish skin, and some of the remaining fish skin with meat is steamed with garlic vermicelli.

For the most tender part of the fish belly, after Grandma He made the salted fish soaked in oil, half of the fish belly was steamed in drum sauce, and the other half was made into garlic fried fish belly.

Chen Yuanyuan is in charge of the fish tail, first grilling the fish tail on the bonfire until it is crispy, then stir-frying spices to make a spicy red soup, and putting the fish tail into the grilled fish flavor.

In the end, the fish scales and bones are not spared, and they are all fried in hot oil until crispy, and after adding seasonings, they are made into spicy and salt-and-pepper fried fish snacks.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at a large number of dishes made of grouper, and after estimating the amount of food eaten by everyone, he packed some of the dishes into the space, even if he ate heartily, he couldn't waste food.

When Zhang Linlin went to take three bottles of salted fish soaked in oil and three fried fish snacks to the eleventh floor, Pan Zhaofa and Pan Zhaoli also came to the eleventh floor as promised.

"Wow, it's so fragrant!" Before Pan Zhaoli walked into the iron gate, he could already smell the aroma of food.

"You're just in time, you've just finished cooking." He Yue Flower Road.

"My brother came back with some wine, let's celebrate." Pan Zhaoli took a box of red wine in his hand to Liu Feiyang.

Liu Feiyang put the folding round table in the aisle, and everyone brought the food to the table, and then sat down around the grilled fish.

"Thank you for the invitation, it's been a long time since I've had a hot meal." Pan Zhaofa said.

Recently, the materials from Xiangcheng have begun to be transported to the Yuecheng base one after another, so the convoy of the two brothers has also made a lot of trips, and they are basically sleeping outside.

"Eat more, and come over to eat with us when you come back later." Chen Yuanyuan said.

Pan Zhaofa and Pan Zhaoli have no relatives, and every time they come back, they just get a little food from the two brothers in the empty house, and occasionally they are dragged to the twelfth floor to eat when they are touched by Chen Yuanyuan and his party.

And after this period of getting along, the people on the 12th floor are becoming more and more familiar with them, even if Chen Yuanyuan doesn't know their status in the previous life, just their righteous character is also willing to make friends with them.

While a few people were eating, Pan Zhaofa mentioned the matter of the Yuecheng base.

"I heard that the Yuecheng base will accept survivors in mid-March next year, do you plan to go there?" Pan Zhaofa said.

"Go, but can't you go after the New Year?" Chen Yuanyuan remembered that when he was on the island, Zheng Jiayu said that he would go after the Chinese New Year.

"In the first half of the month, special and scientific researchers will be arranged to go in, and we will be entrusted to escort the people of the institute at the end of February, I just want to ask you if you want to follow the convoy, and we can take care of you when the time comes." Pan Zhaofa said.

"Haha, the person you're escorting may be us!" Zhang Linlin said with a smile.

"Huh? Do you work at the institute? Pan Zhaoli said.

"Almost, almost, we also handed over the application form through the relationship of the research institute." He Yue Flower Road.

"That's good, there will be three teams of convoys to escort you in batches, see if you can go your batch." Pan Zhaofa said with a smile.

"Can you be the first to enter the base?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.

"We have a place in the second round, but we may give it up," Pan Zhaofa thought about it and told Chen Yuanyuan that he planned for the future.

They want to continue to run the convoy in the future, and if they settle in the base, not only will they have to register their entry and exit, but they will also have their houses repossessed if they don't live for a long time, so they may only settle near the base.

"Our home is also your home, and it will be good to look for us when you return to Yuecheng in the future." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Several people were drinking wine and chatting at the same time, and only after Zhang Linlin's reminder did they know that it was almost New Year's Eve.

"Three, two, one! Happy New Year! ”

But even in the dark night, you can hear the cheers one after another, maybe they are all celebrating, and they can survive this year's suffering.
