It is probably because the closed door is too closed. With more free time, more and more people are becoming obsessed with cooking. It can be seen from the increase in group buying of various flour baking ingredients in their community recently. People began to toss the kitchen in their spare time, proving that the tension shrouded in death was gradually loosening.

Although the smog has not dissipated, as more and more people walked out of their homes, many people gradually became less afraid of the smog with poisonous mycelium. Although there is no specific medicine for this virus, but With the means of safety protection, they don't have to passively wait for death. Human beings can always find the most suitable way of survival from various adversities.

Although the number of deaths is still growing slowly, the number of new infections is getting smaller and smaller. The data has not changed for nearly half a month. This data has given the public more confidence in the future. In this virus sweeping the world, their country has made the most correct decision from the very beginning. Looking at other countries that are still struggling with death and despair, they are sincerely grateful, and even feel that they can go out and recover from the distance. The day when work resumes school is not far away.

Death seems to be slowly moving away from them, and the order of life seems to be on the right track. If Mu Nan hadn't experienced those futures, he couldn't have imagined that when the smog cleared and the sun came back to the world, there would be even more desperate disasters waiting for them.

There have been more people buying flour and other things recently, and Mu Nan has naturally bought a lot of them, so recently, his oven has hardly stopped, and the sweet smell has been permeating the house, and the fluffy cakes are made Batch after batch, this kind of sugary and filling thing, naturally prepare as much as you can.

Qin Huai also took care of some things that required physical strength at home, such as making kimchi, Mu Nan only needed to move his mouth. The first time I made kimchi was just when the smog started. It was a few months ago. Up to now, Qin Huai has made it three times. There is no way, Mu Nan bought too many Chinese cabbage, pickled it and put it in the space There are dozens of kimchi boxes in China.

It is also convenient for Qin Huai to take out several boxes of kimchi that have been refrigerated in the large refrigerator, and then chop them up again. As the kimchi box was opened, the sweetness in the air was instantly dissipated by a hot and sour wave. Mu Nan, who was following behind Qin Huai, sniffed and smelled it, then reached out and took a piece of kimchi that Qin Huai had just cut into his mouth. Sour and spicy, with a hint of crispness.

After eating, Mu Nan sighed: "I feel like I can become a teacher. The recipe I make is much more delicious than the ones bought outside."

Qin Huai also took a slice and put it in his mouth. It tasted really good. Although the ingredients were a bit heavy, this stuff was originally used with rice or processed stir-fried vegetables to make soup base. In the future, you will grow Chinese cabbage in the field, and then process it into kimchi, and sell kimchi exclusively.”

Mu Nan laughed and said, "This is also a path that can be considered in the future."

Qin Huai was cutting over there, and Mu Nan helped to repack the cut pieces into small boxes. He customized many food-grade packaging boxes, big and small, small 500ml, The large 1000ml is for the convenience of taking it in the future. Anyway, the small sub-packages are not expensive, and thousands of them can be customized for a hundred dollars.

After finishing everything and cleaning up the kitchen, Qin Huai asked Mu Nan to put a small box of kimchi outside: "How about making beef with kimchi today? Let's make sliced ​​mushrooms in oyster sauce, lettuce as green vegetables, what else do you want to eat?"

Mu Nan rummaged through the few dishes that Qin Huai mentioned from the refrigerator and put them outside, and said, "That's enough, three dishes, brother, there's still a big bag of lamb chops here, I bought them last month Well, I can’t let it go anymore, when did I do it?”

Qin Huai looked at the whole lamb chop that Mu Nan took out from the freezer, thought for a while and said, "Do you want to eat hand-picked rice?"

Mu Nan knew that pilaf was mixed with mutton and radishes, and it seemed that there were raisins in some places, but he had never eaten it, only seen it, so he asked, "Is it delicious?"

Qin Huai: "I'll make it once and you can eat it. If it's delicious, then cook more. If you have rice and meat, it's convenient to take it out to eat when you can't cook in the future."

Mu Nan nodded: "Then I'll put this outside to defrost. I'll see what's in the refrigerator. Let's clear the inventory and buy some fresh ones to put in."

Although he has space, Mu Nan is not someone who puts everything into the space. Although there has been no problem with this space since he owned it in his last life until his death, it cannot be held up just in case, so he also reserves some things outside. It’s better, like buying things with the community group later, put them in the refrigerator if they can be consumed a little bit in the refrigerator, and put them in the space if they can’t put them in the refrigerator, so their refrigerators are always full to the brim.

When Mu Nan was cleaning the refrigerator, Qin Huai looked out of the kitchen window and said, "Nan Nan, look at the sky outside, isn't it brighter?"

Mu Nan turned his head and took a look. It has been gray for several months, and it seems to have become brighter recently. Some people say that because the mycelial poison cannot withstand high temperatures, when the weather starts to heat up, the poison outside becomes more and more serious. Less, so the smog is dissipating little by little, so many people have the courage to wear protective clothing to go out. It is also because the light outside is getting brighter and brighter day by day, making more people feel that the disaster seems to be over. The sun, which has not been seen for months, seems to be coming out soon.

However, Mu Nan knew that the smog was indeed coming to an end. In the last life, it began to rain around mid-April, and it lasted for nearly half a month. At the beginning of May, the smog fell from the sky, the virus swept the world, and the chaos in foreign countries, The country's lockdown lasted for nearly three months. By the beginning of August, the situation in the country had been brought under control to a certain extent. Gradually, some people wore protective clothing and walked out of the house. People's lives were getting on track bit by bit. Until the end of August and the beginning of September, the smog dissipated suddenly one day, as if it had come without warning and dissipated without warning, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky the next day.

At that time, people were still a little afraid of going out, and those who could go out were still those with protective clothing, but experts took samples and studied again and again, and there was no trace of poisonous mycelium in the air, but even so, it is still After experiencing a nationwide massacre, more talents have gone out of their homes. But for the sake of safety, many people still wear masks and go in and out for various disinfections. Even though there were no viruses in the air at that time, people still had some caution in their hearts.

Just when everyone thought that the disaster was completely over and everything could be restored again, the hot weather became the next topic. But it was September and October at that time. According to the climate, it was in the autumn tiger stage, and the heat was normal, but until after October, the heat did not decrease at all, and it was even rising at an alarming speed. The hot people I can't even wear a mask.

Cars spontaneously ignited, the ground exploded, more and more pedestrians died of heatstroke on the road, and people began to panic again.

Mu Nan looked at the time, and it was mid-August, that is to say, after another half a month, the smog would clear up.

Mu Nan said: "It should be over soon. I remember that when Qiu Huhu was around, many people had already gone in and out of their lives normally."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, Qin Huai quickly put down the knife in his hand, but Mu Nan was faster than him: "It should be that the shopping has arrived, I'll go get it, you have to wash your hands when you get it, trouble .”

As soon as Mu Nan said that, he walked towards the door, and Qin Huai called out to him: "Put on the mask and remember to disinfect it."

Mu Nan answered, put on a mask, and went to open the door. Sure enough, it was a delivery person, but the person who delivered the things looked familiar to him, so he looked carefully, and asked tentatively, "You live next door to me, right?"

Jian Chu, who was wearing a protective suit, said with a smile: "Yes, this is something from your house, order some."

Mu Nan was a little surprised: "Are you going to be a volunteer?" He remembered the two who lived next door, the tall one should be called Yu Zibai, and he was in better health, while the shorter one seemed to be in poor health, since he was already in poor health , but also to be a volunteer?

Jian Chu said: "No, I work part-time at the supermarket at the intersection. The supermarket is open now, but there are restrictions on entering and exiting. I am afraid that too many people will bring in too much poisonous gas, so I can only go online at the moment. I live here, which happens to be If you are in the errand area, if you continue to squat like this at home, you won’t even be able to eat the dirt.”

Mu Nan let out a cry, and took the things into the iron gate. He also saw that the supermarket was open online, so he bought a bunch of snacks and drinks. Jian Chu had a lot of strength, and Mu Nan carried so many things up by himself. He took a bottle of Coke from the bag and handed it to him: "There are so many things, it's hard work to deliver them."

Jian Chu waved his hand: "No need, I also get a commission for delivery, and I should work hard if I want to make money."

Mu Nan stuffed the drink into his hand: "It's all neighbors, don't be too polite."

It was not easy for Jian Chu to push him back and forth. He heard someone shouting in the room, probably because he had been at the door for too long, and the elevator came just in time, so he thanked him and left. There were still many orders to be made. Send, I'm so busy that I don't even have time to go home and have a sip of water.

After Jian Chu left, Mu Nan closed the iron door, first sprayed all the bags with a disinfectant, then squatted on the ground, wiped the drinks and snacks bought in the bags one by one with a disinfectant wipe, and put them at home. Although it seems that the poisonous mycelium can't attach to these things, it's not a big mistake to be careful.

After packing up his things and washing his hands, Mu Nan went back to the kitchen: "The one who delivered the goods just now is the one next door to us. He seems to be working part-time in the supermarket. It has been closed for so long and the prices are so expensive. No wonder he can't wait to go out to find a job. It's not easy for everyone."

Qin Huai smiled and didn't say anything. Who would be easy in this disaster? If he hadn't disposed of the company's shares at the very beginning, he would probably be in debt in the past few months.

When the sun came down to the world again, many people looked at the bright sky and even couldn't believe it. They were in a trance and even doubted whether the smog had ever come. But a word represents the blood of a life is so painful and profound. And the disappearance of this disaster, just like when it came, was silent. It seems that God is playing a huge joke with the world, a joke that makes the whole world laugh.

Mu Nan squinted his eyes to feel the sunlight coming in through the window. It has been a few months, this long-lost sun, but what a pity this sun illuminates is not a new world, but a purgatory on earth that is about to be covered by death.
