Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food-Chapter 104 - 84: Draw Attribute Points Again_3

It’s no exaggeration, she saw with her own eyes how Liu Xiuxian kneaded the dough and let it rise.

After putting in the yeast, a small lump of dough filled the entire basin!

The dumpling skins were rolled thin and packed with fish meat, making them perfect dumplings with thin skins and lots of filling.

Trading one dumpling for three or four fish, Song Wen thought, if it were her, she would be willing to trade.

Still within her newbie protection period, she could catch more than a dozen fish in a day and was already feeling a bit smug.

However, Liu Danian’s pricing wasn’t random, it was well-considered.

In the entire building, the only edible things now were fish, shells, and sea shells recovered from the water.

Carbohydrates were basically non-existent, so flour, rice, vegetables, and such were extremely precious.

On the contrary, there were too many fish. Everyone had eaten so much fish, they were sick of it.

If they could trade for dumplings, those with extra fish would certainly be willing to trade.

Each person ate one dumpling and then quickly stopped, not wanting to eat more.

Liu Xiuxian said, "This flour made a total of thirty-four dumplings. Each of us ate one, so twenty-eight are left. Who knows how many fish these can be traded for."

"If we trade one dumpling for four fish, then twenty-eight dumplings can get us at least 112 fish. We can then trade the fish for flour with Mr. Liang, five fish per cup, that gets us 22 cups, and we can make a lot more dumplings!"

Hu Weimin rubbed his hands in delight, his face full of excitement.

The others also showed excitement, feeling like they were about to strike it rich.

"By the way, Old Hu, is your yeast powder and leavening agent sufficient?" Liu Danian asked impatiently.

Those items were crucial for making those thin-skinned, heavily filled dumplings. Without them, they’d be in trouble.

Hu Weimin laughed, "There’s nothing else in our house, but we have plenty of yeast powder and leavening agents."

Liu Xiuxian also laughed and said, "Old Liu, you’re talking like an amateur. Dough can rise without yeast powder."

"It can rise without yeast powder? How does that work?" Liu Danian asked in surprise.

Liu Xiuxian laughed, "You clearly haven’t made dumplings before. In the old days of collective farming, we didn’t have yeast powder; we used old dough for fermentation."

"We’ll keep some old dough each time. When we need to make dumplings, we’ll ferment the dough ahead of time."

Song Wen suddenly remembered how her bread went bad overnight.

She quickly reminded, "We can’t keep food overnight. Yesterday I left half a piece of bread thinking I’d eat it today, but eating it made me sick."

"If Brother Liang and Granny Li hadn’t found medicine for me, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have survived this time."

"What? It went bad overnight?" Hu Weimin asked, worried.

Liu Xiuxian’s face also changed, quickly asking for more details.

After Song Wen described what had happened, she added, "Brother Liang and the others said that now animals, fish, and humans can all mutate, so microbes might be mutating too. Food that could be kept for one or two days now goes bad overnight due to microbial rot."

"So all our food must be eaten quickly once opened, don’t keep it overnight, or it will be wasted."

Hu Weimin suddenly asked, "So how does Mr. Liang preserve all the fish he has?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

This stumped everyone; how did Liang Yuan preserve his food?

He even had meat and vegetables!

Song Wen didn’t know the details either, so she shook her head.

Hu Weimin rubbed his chin and said, "Does Mr. Liang have a refrigerator at home?"

"I think I saw a large freezer in his kitchen, like those used for storing ice cream." Song Wen recalled and said immediately.

"A freezer? Isn’t the power out? Where does his electricity come from?" Liu Danian asked, puzzled.

After discussing for a while, they guessed Liang Yuan might have a way to generate power, and paused their discussion.

They urgently needed to trade these dumplings for fish, then go to Liang Yuan to exchange for flour.

Time was short; they had to act quickly before word got out that Liang Yuan was trading food for fish.

Once everyone knew, they’d go directly to Liang Yuan.

Of course, Liu Xiuxian’s dumplings would still have a market as Liang Yuan only had flour, not hot dumplings.

Making dumplings also required yeast powder, leavening agents, and some skill.

So they didn’t need to worry about being replaced.

But Song Wen’s business of making profit with snacks would be gone.

Thus, she was the most anxious.

After they agreed, Liu Danian and Hu Weimin each packed four dumplings, Song Wen packed five bags of snacks, and they carried waterproof bags to the thirty-second floor.

It was their first time going to the second unit, so they didn’t bring too much food to avoid being robbed.

On the thirty-second floor, they knocked on Liang Yuan’s door, asking him to open the corridor passage.

Liang Yuan didn’t ask what they were doing going to the second unit, he opened the corridor directly, and then summoned Zhao Kai.

"Brother Liang, you called me?" Zhao Kai came over, glanced at the others, then asked Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan nodded, "Zhao Kai, you’ve been free lately. You’re in charge of watching the corridor door. If anyone wants to enter or leave, or causes trouble, notify us immediately."

"You won’t do it for nothing, I’ll have Sister Yang Mei bring you food."

Zhao Kai showed a look of gratitude and nodded quickly, "Brother Liang, don’t worry, this job is mine."

He knew Liang Yuan was looking after him. With his injured hand, he couldn’t do much.

This task didn’t require physical effort; he only needed to watch the door.
