After everyone left, everyone around Building 2 also went upstairs to go home, and the people in the building also turned off the lights and went to sleep.
It was almost one or two in the middle of the night when Chen Yuanyuan and his party returned to the 12th floor, so they went home to rest.
"Why are you back again?" Shen Yichen said as he walked Chen Yuanyuan to his house.
"Come back to do some errands, I still want to..." Shen Yichen looked at Chen Yuanyuan.
"Stop, I'm sleepy, go to bed early!" Chen Yuanyuan was afraid that Shen Yichen would say some random words to disturb her mind, so she stopped hurriedly.
"...Good night." Shen Yichen said while looking at the door that was hastily closed.
Chen Yuanyuan lay on the bed, cleared her mind and fell asleep quickly. No worries were more important than rest.
The next day, everyone slept until noon, and He Yuehua sent a message asking Chen Yuanyuan to make dumplings at her house.
As soon as the black cat saw its owner, whom he had not seen for two months, he immediately stepped forward and sniffed around Chen Yuanyuan.
"Yuanyuan is here. Grandma has made five kinds of fillings. Let's make them together today." He Yuehua said while wrapping the dumplings.
Chen Yuanyuan looked at the five pots of marinated minced meat on the table, including leek and shrimp stuffing, cabbage and pork stuffing, three-fresh chicken stuffing, scallions and beef stuffing, and shiitake mushroom and pork stuffing.
"Xiaoyuan, you haven't had breakfast yet. Come over and eat some dumplings. I'll serve them the second pot later." Grandma He said, bringing out a bowl of steaming dumplings.
"Then I won't be polite!" Chen Yuanyuan woke up without eating a grain of rice and was hungry when she saw the fragrant dumplings.
A plate of snow-white dumplings lay quietly on the plate. Chen Yuanyuan picked one up, dipped it in vinegar, bit into half of it and put it in her mouth.
The first one to eat was her favorite shrimp stuffing with chives. The chewy shrimps paired with the tender and juicy leeks made Chen Yuanyuan's appetite whet her appetite.
Chen Yuanyuan ate dumplings of different flavors, as if opening a blind box, each with a different taste. After eating seven or eight, she felt a little full.
"Yuehua, Xiaoyuan, the second pot is ready, please bring 1201 and 1204 to them!" Grandma He filled two large plates of dumplings for Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua to go.
"Okay!" He Yuehua took the larger plate and prepared to go to 1201 Zhang Linlin's house.
"Uh... how about I go to 1201?" Chen Yuanyuan asked He Yuehua while holding a small plate.
Chen Yuanyuan hasn't figured out her thoughts yet, and she doesn't want to fall headlong into love again. She doesn't want to face Shen Yichen until she figures it out.
"What are you doing? You go alone." Although He Yuehua also knew Shen Yichen, she was more familiar with Chen Yuanyuan, so she went out to 1201.
Chen Yuanyuan walked to door 1204 with a small plate and knocked on the door.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Yichen shouted at home, and opened the door about a minute later.
"Sorry, I was just brushing my teeth."
"It's okay, these are the dumplings Grandma He gave you. I just made them today." Chen Yuanyuan stuffed the dumplings to Shen Yichen and ran away.
"Yuanyuan!" Shen Yichen called to Chen Yuanyuan.
"Ah?" Chen Yuanyuan turned her head in confusion in the corridor.
"Thank you Grandma He for me..."
"Hey, you're welcome, young man!" The two of them opened the door when they went out to deliver dumplings, and Grandma He, who was making dumplings in the living room, happened to hear them.
"Hahaha." The two were silent for a few seconds and then looked at each other and smiled.
After Chen Yuanyuan returned to 1202, she started making dumplings. The three of them sat around the dining table, each with a different method.
He Yuehua first placed the wrapper flatly on the palm of her hand, and used a small spoon to place the meat filling in the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Press the opposite sides of the dumpling skin together, and then fold up layers of lace, with the crescent-shaped creases like a skirt.
Chen Yuanyuanbao's dumplings are in the shape of ingots. After wrapping the fillings into circles, pinch the left and right sides and press them toward the middle. It's quick and beautiful.
Grandma He was on the side, using a rolling pin to roll the kneaded dough into discs.
Zhang Linlin, who had just finished eating dumplings, brought the plate over and saw the two making dumplings, so she joined in enthusiastically.
"Aren't you afraid of leaking when you put so much stuffing?" Chen Yuanyuan watched Zhang Linlin dig out a large amount of stuffing and put it in the center.
"Let me show you what technology is!" Zhang Linlin said proudly.
I saw Zhang Linlin slowly folding the outer skin into the middle, wrapping it like a swollen ball.
"Haha, it's leaking or not, this seems to be wrapped in the same way as Xiao Long Bao!" He Yuehua said with a smile.
"I will also pack other styles!"
Zhang Linlin picked up the dumpling wrapper and wrapped it into a fish-shaped dumpling that looked like a Shaxian snack, but the shape was a little cracked.
There were neat dumplings on the table, occasionally mixed with a few novel shapes, and everyone was making dumplings amidst laughter and laughter all afternoon.
As we enter April, the weather is extremely dry. It has not rained since mid-March across the country. There is not even a cloud in the sky. Weather experts from all over the country are helpless if they want to carry out artificial rainfall.
Chen Yuanyuan, He Yuehua, and Zhang Linlin noticed that something unusual was beginning to happen, and decided to make arrangements in advance for their family members who were far away from their hometowns.
Zhang Linlin arranged for her parents and future husband's family in your city to replace doors and windows and install solar panels. The furniture at home was also replaced with energy-saving styles, and she slowly began to buy some warm materials and shelf-stable food online.
He Yuehua's dearest grandma is already with her, but she has also ordered some rice, grain, oil and salt for her relatives in Chaoshi, and the rest has been left to its own destiny.
Chen Yuanyuan went to the warehouse. In the past two months, Uncle Lin and his granddaughter had already filled up the oil storage canisters day and night, and later added two thousand more oil storage canisters.
In addition to the doomsday survival cabins customized at the sporting goods show and some large equipment, such as assault boats and kayaks, the warehouse has long been filled to the brim, and even cars have to be parked outside the warehouse.
"Ms. Chen, these are gas receipts. They have been reimbursed before, and the remaining eight receipts have not been reported yet." Uncle Lin put the carton full of receipts on the stool, and then handed today's invoice to Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan saw that only a dozen of the more than 4,500 oil barrels were left unfinished. With today's oil money, she happily paid 100,000 yuan to Uncle Lin's account.
"Thank you, Miss Chen! Thank you, Miss Chen!" After receiving the bank's collection text message, Uncle Lin opened his eyes in surprise and thanked Chen Yuanyuan.
Uncle Lin calculated that his original salary was only more than 91,000, and with today's gas expenses, it would be about 96,000. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuanyuan gave him several thousand extra. He and his granddaughter were overjoyed to have such a generous income after two months of work.
"You deserve this. The more you work, the more you get. You have worked hard these past two months!" Although Chen Yuanyuan initially said that he would be paid on a piece-by-piece basis, he did not expect that he would get twice as much gasoline as he expected, so he paid a few more. Thousands of wages to reward them.
After Uncle Lin left, it took Chen Yuanyuan nearly two hours to receive all the oil storage barrels and goods into the space.
Chen Yuanyuan did a rough calculation. One liter of oil can generate 3 kilowatt hours of electricity, and there are more than 5,000 oil barrels. If they don't drive out, the four of them can use it for 400 years. It's not worth the more than one million he spent. Stock up on oil.
After solving the diesel problem, food, clothing, housing and transportation have been arranged. What remains is life-saving means and other extra things.
