Chapter 41 Water and power outages begin
As for a good thing like royal jelly, naturally you get up every morning, scoop out a small spoonful and soak it in warm water. The whole family drinks a cup. It has many benefits for beautifying the skin and moisturizing the lungs. It can also supplement various vitamins and nutrients in the last days when there is no sunshine.
After being fed normally, the black pigs, sheep, and calves in the Rubik's Cube space are now a lot bigger. Compared with the speed of maturation in the previous month, it saves a lot of food and spiritual energy, but it is also faster than normal pigs and sheep. Jing Shu It is estimated that it will mature in half a year.
Jingshu raised more quails and planned to make lots of roasted quails and roasted quail eggs in the space for a late-night snack. Her appetite has increased recently.
Jingshu only kept a few chickens, ducks and rabbits, but the dilution of Lingquan was still very powerful. In addition to the more than 20 eggs laid by number 1 every day, Jingshu could also receive more than 20 chicken eggs, 7 or 8 duck eggs, and more than 100 quails. Eggs, after all, are more powerful than free-range chickens and ducks in villas.
The eggs saved these days allowed Jingshu and Jingba to successfully make a large number of preserved eggs, and also gave Jingshu a reason to buy a lot of lime to prepare some for other things.
On January 18th, there was a sudden power outage in Jingshu Community. The entire Wucheng was overloaded for more than ten days. Not only did it have to provide household electricity at night, but it also had to provide air conditioners, electric lights, street lights, etc. for various companies during the day. It finally withstood the situation. No more.
The most important thing is the electricity consumption of the 24-hour air conditioner. According to statistics, the national average electricity consumption is 5 times that of usual times!
I am usually reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, especially in some places where the electricity charges will be doubled if the household electricity consumption is exceeded. However, I have not hesitated to use electricity for half a month, and the consequence is that the electricity supply is no longer available.
Wucheng has also taken emergency measures and distributed diesel to allow enterprises in various communities to generate electricity on their own.
Wang Qiqi No. 13: " @Everyone, the current supporting services in the community cannot keep up, and there is no generator yet. If you can't stand the high temperature, just get into a car in the basement, turn on the air conditioner and wait for the call to come. My car is fine. Seating two people.”
The temperature in Wucheng is still as high as 49°C. Most of the office workers and business people in Jingshu Community have closed their doors and rested at home. The power outage has been less than half an hour, and their homes are like steamers.
People at this time couldn't stand the heat or drink the muddy water. Didn't they still survive later? It was hypocritical, Jingshu thought irresponsibly while lying in the villa with a constant temperature of 26°C, eating Haagen-Dazs ice cream.
Some people in the community went back to their parents-in-law's relatives' houses, and some went to their cars to turn on the air conditioner and wait for the call. During this period, Wang Qiqi actually invited more than a dozen people to join the group. This community that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is currently There are only over a hundred people living there, so no wonder restaurants dare not open here.
However, in less than a year, this area will become one of the most popular new urban areas in Wucheng, and countless homeless people will flood in. Each parking space in the basement and underground garage can be divided into a family. place.
In the previous life, Jingshu's family exchanged their prime villa for food in the fifth year. The family lived in basements, cage rooms, etc., and later moved with them many times due to various disasters. It was a nightmare, and Jingshu didn't even want to think about it again. stand up!
Today, Jing's father sent three packs of mushrooms and two plates of garlic sprouts to Jing Nai to keep, some eggs, Chinese cabbage and Lingquan's diluted Guiling paste for the old man.
I heard that it is already very difficult to buy vegetables in the city. The price of a wilted cabbage has risen to 50 yuan. There are no other green vegetables and vegetables that are not in season. There are only various mushrooms, leeks, and bean sprouts indoors. Vegetables that don’t need sunlight to grow.
Prices in the dry goods and seafood markets have also increased. Because the prices are more expensive than vegetables, not many people want to buy them, and they all want to wait until the dark days are over.
Jing Nai will have to stay in the city for a few days while queuing up to buy medicine, but the couple are in good spirits.
In order to cause adverse consequences, purchase restrictions have been imposed everywhere. Moreover, they heard that the current medicines would not be replenished for half a year, so the old couple hurriedly went to buy medicines with Sangu Jinglai every day.
Jiangshu pills, vitamins, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, etc. were all sold out, including Jing Nai. Even if Jing Shu told her that she had bought a lot, Jing Nai still had to buy more before she would give up.
Jing Nai is also an insecure person and wants to stock up on everything after experiencing famine. But even though she used to favor boys over girls, was stingy and reluctant to eat and clothe herself, and had to bargain when buying groceries, she was really kind to Jing Shu. She is partial to her the most and gives all the good things to Jingshu, so Jingshu will do the filial piety that she didn't have time to fulfill in her previous life. Jingnai can do whatever she wants, just let her do it.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Jingshu's family sat in front of the TV and watched TV. They had dinner, including three steamed sea bass, a bowl of steamed eggs with caviar, a large pot of curry potato and beef brisket rice bowl, and tomato and egg soup.
No matter how much you do, Jingshu will pick up the residue and clean it up, not even leaving the oil star. People who have lived for ten years in the last days will eat so cleanly.
"Okay, if you don't want to imitate, just imitate your father's way of sweeping the dishes." Jing's mother tapped Jingshu with her hand: "Who would dare to ask for your appetite and appearance in the future?"
Dad Jing was lying innocently in Mucang: "Yes, yes, the bad ones are all learned from me, and the good ones are all inherited from you."
"No, look at the solar power generation and filtration cycle filtered water that my daughter has installed. Everyone else has a power outage and can only eat cold water instant noodles for dinner. We can still have a sumptuous dinner with the air conditioner blowing."
"Then you were saying that he was a prodigal before." Jing's father muttered softly.
The entire Wucheng is still without power, either using backup power or using electricity generated by generators. However, places in the south with large populations and insufficient power supply have long used diesel power generation.
Jingshu knew that it wouldn't be long before she would be in the embarrassing situation of having a car but no fuel. Because gasoline was an important material and had more important uses, the supply of private cars was temporarily stopped.
Including natural gas and other energy sources, Jingshu will start cooking the food after this busy period to save some coal.
It was completely dark, and the temperature in Wucheng dropped to 4°C. People in the community all returned home, and they were horrified to find that there was no muddy water anymore!
Zhang Bingbing No. 4: " @Everyone, I don’t have any water at home. Can anyone give me a few bottles of mineral water? Thank you."
No one said anything. After a while, Zhang Bingbing said again on the 4th: "I will buy 2 bottles of mineral water at a high price!"
Still no one paid attention to her, Zhang Bingbing got angry:
"They are all a group of neighbors who are unwilling to save me. A few ladies who bumped into my car in the afternoon even shouted in the group if they had any difficulties. I burned out all the gas and turned on the air conditioner. Now I have no gas and I can't go out and buy water. I bought two bottles of water at a high price and no one is willing to help?”
