In the early morning, people in Jiafu Supermarket started a busy day when the sun shone through the window. The types of breakfast become monotonous as time goes by. Food such as cake and bread has already passed the shelf life, and these things have been discarded by the girls in the family office. The only other choices are brewing food, such as oatmeal, milk and instant noodles. Fortunately, Ji Wenwen's eight treasure porridge and preserved egg ham porridge are very delicious, which makes up for the shortage of breakfast types.
There is no fresh green vegetables in Jiafu Supermarket, and the few frozen mixed vegetables are the food that everyone expects every meal. When green beans, corn and diced carrots in bags are taken out of the freezer, they often attract the cheers of two small food items.
The only way for people to supplement vitamins is to pack pickles, shredded kelp and radish sticks, which are very easy to eat, so every meal will appear on the table.
Under the leadership of Aunt Luo, several girls have racked their brains every day to develop new recipes. Most of the ingredients that can be used in the supermarket are dry goods from north to south. Tremella, medlar, dried longan and lotus seeds will be used to make soup needless to say; Bean curd, bacon, vermicelli, ham and shrimp skin were also tried out in different ways; Dried cuttlefish and mushrooms are also delicious, but after eating these things for a long time, we most miss fresh vegetables.
"Why don't we plant some vegetables ourselves?" Aunt Luo, who was still busy after breakfast, suddenly said that she remembered some acquaintances in the fourth phase of the Yulanxiang Garden, who liked to plant something in their own yard and balcony.
"Ah, yes!" Aunt Luo's words reminded several other girls. This proposal made everyone excited. No one wanted to treat their stomach and tongue unfairly.
"If we grow our own vegetables, how long will it take before we harvest?" Zou Qiqi asked. Most young girls have no experience in this field. The fast-paced life in big cities makes them seldom know about food, rice, cooking oil and salt. Ordering takeout and eating out has become their daily routine before.
"Time is needed," Aunt Luo thought for a moment and said, "The best things to grow are chives, coriander, and shallots. They are cold resistant and heat resistant, and are not easy to attract insects to get sick. They can basically grow in the soil."
"These three kinds are the fastest growing," Aunt Luo continued: "It takes a few months for radish, and more than a month for amaranth. But if we only need to harvest leaf buds, we can also grow pea shoots and sesame seeds, and mustard, which can grow leaves in about 30 days."
"Aunt Luo, I used to grow cherry radishes, which can be eaten in less than a month." Ah Cai planted this lovely plant in school. This small radish is called cherry radish because of its similar appearance with cherries.
After discussion, the girls knew that most vegetables would take months or even more to mature, but none of them planned to give up because of this reason. There was a long way to go. No matter how much food in the supermarket, it would be eaten up one day, and the food had a shelf life. It would be too late to consider planting food after a year or two.
"Let's see what seeds we can find first," Luo Jia said. "Without seeds, we can't plant anything."
"We have seeds," Acai said to Luo Jia
"Great," said Zou Qiqi, clapping her hands. "Let's just do what we say. It's not too late to start planting."
"But we have no place to plant," Ji Wenwen said. "And there is no soil."
"The soil can go to the green belt of the community," Yang Ju said.
"If it's local, go and discuss it with Chen Bin and them." Zou Qiqi looked at Ah Cai and gave her a look of "let you handle it".
"You young people have a way," said Aunt Luo, looking at the girls who spoke enthusiastically. She was very happy. She used to work in an institution where everyone was too busy to do anything. They pushed each other out of doing things. When she finally reached the retirement age, Aunt Luo said that she would not accept re employment for anything and just left home. Now in Jiafu Supermarket, she sees a different weather.

When Ah Cai found Chen Bin, they were about to set out to investigate the situation of the detention center. After hearing that Ah Cai explained his intention, Chen Bin immediately shouted to Qiao Xingyu who also wanted to go out.
"Xingyu, Aunt Luo is taking the lead in preparing to take everyone to grow vegetables in Jiafu," Chen Bin said. "I think this is a good thing. The food reserves in Jiafu will be consumed one day, and these foods have a shelf life. Once they expire, they can hardly be needed. This reminds me that we should take precautions."
"It's reasonable that we had neglected in this area before," Qiao Xingyu nodded. "If we can be self-sufficient in food, we will have the capital to survive in the end. Tell me, what do we need to do?"
"Today is my group going to the detention center. You go to Lianhua to haul materials back," Chen Bin thought for a moment. "I thought for a moment, but Lianhua's materials are not in a hurry to be transported these days. You can help Aunt Luo get some soil from the community first, and then we will open a place in Jiafuchao City to start planting vegetables."
"Where should I choose?" Wei Qiming asked.
"The second floor should not work," Zhao Guangcheng thought for a moment and said, "This is our living area, and the materials for family photos are mainly concentrated on this floor."
"In terms of places, only the top floor parking lot is suitable. Whether from the perspective of lighting or ventilation, it is the best choice." Chen Bin said with a smile, "We will develop it sooner or later. Now is the time to clean up the zombies in the top floor parking lot."
"What about security?" Dafei is most concerned about this. At the beginning, the three of them were able to enter Jiafu Supermarket through the top floor parking lot. If he wanted to plant vegetables, he would hesitate to leave a loophole in the defense of Jiafu Supermarket.
"Don't worry, Xingyu, you should get the mud first," Chen Bin said confidently. "We can use the abandoned cars above to block the passage from below. It's not so easy for others to come up directly."
"Yes, people outside really want to plot against us, and the zombies on the top floor can't stop us." The monkey nodded, "Just like we went to Lianhua Supermarket to fight Li Guoqiang and others, there are many zombies nearby. Don't you and Brother Zhang Si also come in and go out several times."
"We have more people, so we need to be more daring. It's not our style to stay in the supermarket all the time." Chen Bin said, "It would be great if we could collect more information from the outside world. We are now like an island in a vast ocean."
"Ah Cai, go tell Aunt Luo that they will solve the problem of soil. They will open up the top floor parking lot for you when we come back later." Chen Bin turned to Ah Cai and said, "I remember you took the seeds and put them in the warehouse, right?"
"Do you remember all this?" A Cai smiled and told him, "Be careful when you go out."
"So do you," Ah Cai added to everyone, and then turned to leave.
"Brother Chen is so lucky," Cao Shengli said admiringly. "I also said that I would go home to ask for my daughter-in-law after the completion of the Spring Festival this year. Now it seems that my future daughter-in-law is in suspense."
Chen Bin smiled and took everyone into action.
Qiao Xingyu and his two groups have adjusted their plans. They were supposed to go to Lianhua Supermarket, but they were temporarily changed to dig soil in the community. This job is not difficult. There is a green belt near the east gate of the community. You can start digging through the small iron gate. What they need to pay attention to is the safety around them.
Chen Bin and others got into Wei Qiming's car, and Wei Qiming opened the car from the front door of the community. After getting on Zhangdong Road, the car began to turn left, and soon turned to Zhangheng Road.
The car was slowly driving on the road full of abandoned vehicles. Wei Qiming was very good at driving. After he got the car, it was like an old car he had driven for many years.
The right side of the road is the third phase of Yulanxiangyuan, and the left side is a tile roofed house with two floors or so. On the sidewalk, a rope was drawn between adjacent trees. Some quilts and clothes hanging in the sun were worn out under the erosion of wind, rain and hot sun. Several clothes fell on the ground were already covered with dust and could not show their original appearance.
The people who live in Wafang District are poor people who do small businesses nearby. The original owner of the house has moved to a more spacious and comfortable new house. Many householders in the Yulanxiang Garden are relocated households nearby, and the houses in this tile roofed area are a part of the houses to be relocated later. Many people have lived a different life relying on houses and demolition, but their lives have been broken by a disaster. These reinforced concrete become meaningless at this moment.
Wei Qiming looked out of the window and felt a lot. Several friends he knew had lived in this tile roofed area before. They all set up a small stand nearby to make a living. Wei Qiming came to them several times to drink wine before. Like him, these people had a dream of buying a house and settling down in Songhu. When they had three rounds of wine, everyone was looking forward to the future.
Wei Qiming knows the cruelty of reality, and neither he nor his friends want to mention the possibility of realizing their dreams, because everyone is afraid of inadvertently revealing their dreams.
"Old Wei, when you drive to the front, stop for a moment." Chen Bin's voice was heard nearby, interrupting Wei Qiming's memory.
