Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies Chapter 110: 110: Applying Egg, Feeding Fish

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Applying Egg, Feeding Fish

“Then how about we et at five in the afternoon? Just co over to my house then; we won’t co and get you,” Su Dai said, glancing at the big iron gate of Jiang Yan’s house and giving an awkward smile.

They were actually quite afraid of calling on Jiang Yan, mainly because they worried about accidentally forgetting the high voltage on her door and getting electrocuted to a crisp while knocking.

Although the whole city had been without power for a long ti, Jiang Yan’s backup power supply probably had no electricity either.

But it was always better to be safe than sorry.

Moreover, it was a rainy day, and it got dark early.

Everyone tried to finish eating and washing up while it was still light.

...

After dark, lights were generally not turned on unless absolutely necessary.

So households didn’t have any lighting at all and lived entirely in the dark.

Jiang Yan nodded, “Okay, I’ll co over directly in the evening.”

She hadn’t been using the high voltage on the outer door lately.

One reason was that the surrounding area had beco relatively safe.

Another was that she had been going in and out quite frequently.

She was afraid that soday she might forget and either electrocute herself or not be able to get back in after leaving.

This was sothing she hadn’t thought of at the ti of installation.

Though the high voltage was off, its deterrent effect persisted.

That was enough.

With that thought, Jiang Yan turned and entered the house.

It was almost two in the afternoon at that mont.

The fireplace in the living room had been burning since morning, making it significantly warr than outside.

Jiang Yan took a small tal bucket and shovel, cleared so of the ashes from the fireplace, added so firewood, and then stepped into Space.

“Cack-cack-cack!” Mom, you’re finally back!

From afar, Jiang Yan saw Hua Bao bouncing excitedly out of the Apple Cabin and with a “swoosh” jumped onto her shoulder.

Jiang Yan glanced casually, and, behold, the progress of the upgrade over the creek had finally reached 89%.

It wasn’t easy at all!

The upgrade of Space was expected soon!

Jiang Yan couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart, “Hua Bao, we’re going to have a creek soon!”

The three small leaves on Hua Bao shook happily as it grinned and chattered:

“Cack-cack-cack!” Yes, yes, we can happily play in the creek now!

It was no longer interested in flipping turtle shells and kicking turtles into the water.

Its latest amusent was to elongate vines and leaves into thin lines, like fishing lines, and tease the fish and shrimp in the pool.

Surprisingly, so fish and shrimp fell for it.

It was quite painful when pinched by a shrimp claw.

Naturally, that shrimp got a good thrashing from it.

But it naturally didn’t dare tell Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan smiled, “Then you need to keep up the good work, don’t be lazy.”

“Cack-cack-cack!” Mom, rest assured, mission guaranteed!

Jiang Yan chatted with it while walking towards the pool.

In the pool, the tilapia, crucian carp, loaches, and shrimps caught were very lively, and their sizes visibly increased over a few days.

It seed like the tilapia had adapted to the water temperature.

As usual, two turtles lazily basked by the pool.

Seeing her approach, their heads retracted with a “swoosh.”

Jiang Yan, with a thought, took so cornal from the Inventory Area and sprinkled it into the pool, took a cabbage leaf and a small bit of minced at, placed them on a dish, and then put it near the turtles.

Near the turtles, there were white lounge chairs and a large parasol under which the ceramic plate sat, preventing the cabbage leaves from drying out too quickly.

Jiang Yan had never thought of keeping pets or prepared things like dog food for fish.

Now that she had them, she just had to make do.

She found that with these fish and turtles, her life in Space was becoming more like that of a retired old person.

Aside from studying and recharging daily, she took care of plants, gardened, and fed the fish.

Adding a square dance would fill her day perfectly.

She quite enjoyed it, especially when feeding the fish; it felt very relaxing and healing.

As a child, her parents used to take her to free parks to feed the fish.

Spending a few bucks on a small bag of fish food for a few minutes of feeding would make her happy all day long.

Later, when her family beca wealthy, they bought a large house, a large aquarium with beautiful scenery, and kept expensive red dragon fish.

It was said that one could cost millions.

But Jiang Yan thought that while the fish were beautiful, they were also very lonely.

Her parents, busy with their business, were always up early and busy to the point of having no ti to stop and appreciate them.

They said keeping that kind of fish was more about bringing good feng shui.

Usually, the servants took care of them.

At that ti, Jiang Yan, with dreams as her steed and the world as her ho, seldom returned to the main house.

By the ti she realized the preciousness of parental affection, many things were already too late…

mories of the past erged in her mind unconsciously, and Jiang Yan’s eyes moistened inexplicably.

Her deceased parents could not co back.

Nor could the normal past life.

But she still had to live well in this hopeless Doomsday World.

Jiang Yan sniffled a bit, then went to the kitchen to brew herself a cup of motherwort.

After a rest and a drink, rembering she hadn’t used her thermostat, she got up again.

When the Apple Cabin was custom-made, she had specifically asked for two containers to be delivered.

Initially, they were intended for ergency field storage.

Now, thinking it over, placing the thermostat inside the house didn’t seem right, nor did it outside under the bright sun.

She decided to take out one container, placing the three thermostats she found during her last outing inside.

It wasn’t a problem that there were no power strips or sources, as she took out a portable energy storage and placed it inside the container.

She also found three hygroters that could test the humidity.

Additionally, ordinary eggs couldn’t hatch chicks.

Only fertilized eggs could hatch chicks.

She searched the encyclopedia she had downloaded beforehand, found that shining a light on the eggshell to see two clump-like specks inside the egg fluid indicated fertilized eggs.

Jiang Yan took a flashlight and an egg, and after staring at the eggshell until her eyes felt crossed, she still couldn’t make head or tail of it.

She suddenly thought that she could use her thoughts to control objects in Space; surely she could select the fertilized eggs this way.

That thought instantly brought piles of chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, pigeon eggs, and ostrich eggs before her.

They must undoubtedly be fertilized eggs.

Although there were offline tutorials on the computer, Jiang Yan decided not to incubate too many at once.

Also, the optimal temperature and humidity required for incubating each type of egg were different.

So, she took one chicken egg, one duck egg, and one goose egg and placed them each in a thermostat, then set the respective humidity and temperatures as instructed.

She took a notebook and pen to make proper records.

Because she was working while checking the information, it took about an hour to get everything sorted.
