Chapter 1002 Self-sufficiency
In fact, the current situation is quite ironic. Some people can enjoy a rich life quietly in the house, while others may be enduring hunger and the threat of zombies outside at home.
Gu Tongwan didn't feel any guilt for staying comfortably at home. Although the apocalyptic environment was not the most ideal home for human beings and the harsh environment was caused by a series of accidents, people had different destinies.
Her life was saved by the system and her own efforts after she was reborn once. The price and hardship she paid in this process were no less than those of other people. She would neither stand on a high ground to blame others for their tragic fate, nor would she empathize too much with those poor people who are still suffering today.
But I don’t know if it was because he had more time, but after Gu Tongwan dug a batch of bamboo shoots, he started to pick the pumpkin seedlings he had planted before.
This batch of pumpkin seedlings was planted a week ago. The pumpkin flowers are now growing just right. If they are left for a few more days, they will probably become old and the taste will not be very good.
Only three or four pounds of pumpkin flowers and seedlings were picked. Since the plantation area was only about ten square meters, the harvest was not much, but it was more than enough for her to eat alone. In about two weeks, the pumpkins will be grown, and then they can be used to make pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, and steamed pumpkin.
In addition to pumpkins, the most commonly grown fruits on other lands are still fruits, especially pears and apples, which each account for one-third of the area.
The main reason is that these two kinds of fruits are the main foods consumed in the base. The reasons are: one, they are easy to grow, and two, they are cheap. Although the appearance and taste of the fruits grown in the post-apocalyptic land are average, at least ordinary people can afford them. As for grapes, watermelons and cantaloupes, only families with better financial conditions can afford them. Durian is even called a "luxury fruit". As the name suggests, the price of a durian can be equal to one or even two months' salary of an ordinary person.
After Gu Tongwan took care of the fruit trees, he continued to weed the land. Although the time it took for vegetables, fruits and crops to mature was greatly shortened on this black soil, weeds continued to grow normally.
She had studied these weeds before and thought that there was something different about the weeds grown from the black soil. It turned out that she was overthinking it and these were just ordinary weeds.
When she came out of the space, she also brought some pumpkin seedlings, potatoes, and even half a chicken and some vegetables. Tonight, she suddenly wanted to eat big plate chicken. It was all because she took out her mobile phone before going to bed last night to watch a short video that she had downloaded before the end of the world. It turned out that half of the content was about cooking videos released by various food bloggers.
Although Gu Tongwan's appetite was not too strong, he could not resist watching these videos late at night and even couldn't help getting up and making a bowl of noodles last night.
The instant noodles that I used to hate the most tasted different last night, especially when added with fast foods like grilled sausages and boiled eggs. The whole room was almost filled with the high-tech flavor of instant noodles.
Gu Tongwan was in a good mood tonight. He made pumpkin flower stuffed with meat soup, bamboo shoots and pork belly, and finally pineapple fried pork ribs. It took nearly an hour and a half to make it, but I have to say that the dishes were delicious and tasty, which was much better than the days when he had to eat compressed biscuits in the hotel some time ago.
Just as I was full, there was a knock on the door.
