"I don't know, I'm just guessing," Fu Tong shook her head and changed the subject casually, "Let's get to work quickly."
Their task today is to loosen the soil where the cucumbers are planted and to trim the leaves on top to keep them growing upward.
Ladders are also a limited resource. After the two people finished loosening the soil, they handed the shovels to others and waited for a while before it was their turn to use the ladder.
With her aunt supporting her from below, Fu Tong climbed up the ladder carefully, touched the cucumber which was as big as a winter melon, and then grabbed the leaves.
This leaf was very large, but the edges had turned a little yellow, so it needed to be cut off. Fu Tong took some effort to grab the leaf and was almost knocked over by the leaf's rebounding force.
Auntie quickly steadied the ladder: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Fu Tong gritted her teeth and slowly sharpened the knife before she completely cut it off. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this cucumber is not as big as the one the gods gave us, otherwise I would probably spend half a day trying to pick a yellow leaf off."
Auntie laughed.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, Fu Tong suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she sighed again: It's great to be able to come to the Dawn Base blessed by the gods.
At this time, the clanging noise in the background stopped, and the decoration team had already raised the height of the insulation shed and made it more secure.
The leading worker packed up his tools and said to the head of the farming team: "If these cucumbers grow taller, we won't be able to raise the height of the greenhouse." There was no way. The tools are limited now, and it's not like before when we could build buildings dozens of stories high.
The person in charge used to be a student of the Agricultural College. He had just graduated not long ago. He had eaten well during this period, and his face became round again, adding a bit of childishness. He spoke calmly: "Okay, Master, don't worry, this cucumber is almost ripe. It will probably be shaped after a little more growth."
The master said, "Okay, then I'll go first. The guy next door who's growing apples needs to borrow an excavator to pick apples." Although he was very busy and had a lot of work to do, the master didn't feel tired at all.
There are two excavators in the base, but he is the only one who can operate them, so he is responsible for operating them. His daily salary is 15 points, which is enough for him and his wife to live a good life in the apocalypse.
The agricultural student team leader in charge of cucumbers was full of surprise: "The apples are ripe? That's great!" Does that mean we can eat apples now?
The last time she ate an apple was when she was living in an air-raid shelter. The gods sent her a blessing of a very large apple, as big as a hill. Everyone was given a piece. It was sweet and refreshing. It was the sweetest apple she had ever eaten in her life.

Lin Siyu took off her food gloves. She had just fried herself a portion of French fries. The French fries were semi-finished products. She just had to put them in the fryer, adjust the time, and then take them out and eat them. It was very user-friendly for a kitchen novice like her.
And because it is an official product, it tastes pretty good.
After eating all the French fries, there was still a packet of ketchup left. Lin Siyu was about to throw it away, but suddenly an idea struck her. She checked online and found that there was indeed a recipe for retro food that required the use of ketchup.
So she tore open the ketchup and squeezed it all into a container made of star tin foil (a food-grade material), ready to give it to the little ones.
Lin Siyu walked to the freezer. She knew that the little people's kitchen was still in the three-story earthen building, so she put the ketchup directly in.
The noise instantly attracted the attention of the little people. They ran out one after another, ran into the yard, surrounded Ketchup, surprised and happy, and then said something to the sky in unison.
Lin Siyu couldn't hear the content.
Before, she could always hear the conversations of all the little people, which were noisy and difficult to discern useful information.
With the system's reminder, she realized that she could simply turn off the sound with one click and then listen selectively.
Lin Siyu knew from the little people's actions and expressions that they were just saying some words of gratitude, so he had no interest in listening and instead shifted his attention elsewhere.
Various insulation sheds have been set up in the area within sight, making it look particularly presentable.
"It seems that the little people have planted all the seeds in this place. They should be ready for harvest soon." It's amazing that the little people she raised can grow things to feed themselves. Maybe she won't have to worry about food and drink in the future. They are much more sensible than cats and dogs!
Lin Siyu felt very relieved.
-
In the cold world.
Fu Tong and her colleagues finally finished their morning work.
The two walked out of the insulation shed, and the cold air hit them instantly. Auntie quickly wrapped her clothes tightly and said, "It's freezing. Let's go back quickly."
"Hmm..." Fu Tong suddenly slowed down her pace and looked up at the sky. "Auntie, do you have a strange feeling?"
An indescribable feeling suddenly covered every nerve in her body, but she did not feel any discomfort.
"It seems a little bit." The aunt rolled her eyes and agreed with the other party.
Fu Tong's imagination was full of ideas, and she lowered her voice: "Could it be that the Lord God is watching us?"
In my aunt's mind, the God is a tall and mysterious figure, like clouds and smoke, ethereal and untouchable.
So she immediately rejected Fu Tong's words, "How can the Lord God have so much free time?"
At this time, outside the freezer, Lin Siyu put away her auntie smile and nodded wildly in her heart: Yes, yes, I am just so free now!
"That's right! The great God is so powerful, why would he pay attention to us little people? Even if there is something, he should go to Boss Xu and the others." Fu Tong didn't know the true thoughts of the unfathomable God in their minds. She believed what the aunt said and continued to find topics to chat, making her look less cold. "By the way, aunt, when the cucumbers are ripe, can we buy some and cook them ourselves?"
Fu Tong used to love cooking and she was pretty good at it.
Perhaps the past two days at the Dawn Base were too wonderful, she actually began to imagine things that seemed extremely "incredible" in the end times!
"I don't know. Even if you can buy one, do you have a pot? There don't seem to be many pots in our base, maybe even fewer than mobile phones." This is also one of the main reasons why everyone still eats from the same pot.
Fu Tong lowered her head in frustration: "That's right!"
A gust of wind carrying ice and snow blew towards her, and Fu Tong shivered from the cold, her nose turned red, but it cheered her up again!
Why are you so depressed? In the end times, being able to have enough food to eat is already great! Why would you have so many messy thoughts!
However, after listening to their conversation, Lin Siyu quietly remembered: "Do the little people really need a pot?"
But the little people are too small for him.
Their pots are even smaller, so Lin Siyu calculated a size and asked the owner of the micro-shop if he could make such a small pot.
The other party's answer was yes, but another mold would be needed, and the order might take a while to place because micro-scopes are very popular recently.
[Pocket House: Because of the comic book "The World in the Freezer", it became a little popular and many people like it]
Lin Siyu was shocked when she saw the name and tilted her head in amusement: "I didn't expect that it was because of my comics that I have to queue up to order things now."
In this case, Lin Siyu had no choice but to ask the Pocket House to make a note for her and contact her when she was free.
At this time, a reminder popped up on the optical brain.
“By the way, I have to go to the Materials City with Senya today. ◎◎Come to []? Read the latest chapter? Full chapter"
Lin Siyu closed the freezer door, put on her elastic shoes and went out.
-
In the earthen building in the world of ice and snow.
Aunt Li is directing people.
"Quick, quick, quick! Bring the pot! Pack the ketchup that the God-sama sent us in batches."
After Aunt Li and the others sincerely performed a ceremony to thank the gods towards the sky, they climbed up along the edge of the sacred object using the stairs to take a look. It was full of ketchup.
The sour and sweet taste was so stimulating that it made people drool, and the smell filled the whole room. Even the workers who were chopping rice grains to prepare for cooking couldn't help but look over.
Aunt Li became extra careful in her movements, fearing that she might accidentally fall in, and took a ketchup bath on the spot.
It is lunch time at the base now. After instructing people to store ketchup, Aunt Li is ready to start cooking today's dishes: "Since we have ketchup, let's have sweet and sour pork tenderloin."
The daily meals arranged by the base include both meat and vegetarian dishes. For example, the stir-fried pork with green peppers has both vegetables and meat, so one dish is enough. However, the sweet and sour pork tenderloin is both meat, so a separate vegetarian dish has to be prepared.
Fortunately, the green vegetables given by the gods earlier have not been eaten up.
That vegetable was bigger than the largest ancient tree in the forest, and it took them a whole day to successfully decompose it.
Aunt Li took out a bag of cabbage leaves from the natural refrigerator (actually it was placed outside) and prepared to make a simple stir-fried vegetable dish.
It was lunch time and the entire earth building courtyard was crowded with people. Although there were many people, everyone was very orderly.
Today is a little different from before. In the past, we used a notebook to mark points, but today I moved a computer in and put it aside.
The information in the online system has been re-registered, including not only the name but also the fingerprint. The procedure for deducting points is more rigorous and there is no need to worry about deducting the wrong points.
Fu Tong ordered two meals, returned to the room, put the meals on the table, and called her sister over: "You must be hungry, come and eat, we have sweet and sour meat today."
The rice at the Shuguang Base was different from the rice Fu Tong had eaten before. It was not the kind with distinct grains, but more like jelly. However, the taste was the same.
Served with sweet and sour pork tenderloin and strips of green leafy vegetables, this meal is quite a sumptuous one.
My sister held the wooden spoon and stuffed rice into her mouth in big mouthfuls, and she choked because she was too anxious.
Fu Tong patted her on the back: "Eat slowly."
My sister blinked her eyes and whispered, "I'm afraid I'll be robbed."
At the Hope Base, even cold potatoes would be snatched away if someone saw them eating slowly, so the little girl had become accustomed to eating quickly.
Fu Tong rubbed her sister's head distressedly and said gently: "You don't need to do this in the Dawn Base, because with the Lord God here, no one will dare to steal things."
Under the influence of her elder sister, the younger sister already knew that she could live in this gentle house and eat such delicious food because of the appearance of the Lord God. So when she heard the name of the Lord God, she hummed vigorously without any doubt, and said in a baby voice: "I know!"
When she ate again, she slowed down.

At this time, the little people's god Lin Siyu has also arrived at the gate of the Materials City. !
