One Trap after Another
Ten days into the apocalypse, Elijah and the others had finished all the vegetables they had on hand, except for potatoes.
Usually, they had canned meat, mushrooms, pickled cucumbers, and various other preserved foods.
They rotated their meals, as having the same thing every day wouldn't be enough.
But now, on the table, there were stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, tomatoes and eggs, "di san xian" (a Chinese dish with potatoes, eggplant, and bell peppers), beef stew with potatoes, and so on.
Although it looked simple and lacked extravagant dishes or large amounts of meat, it was the most abundant meal the group had seen in recent days.
Apart from rice, there were also pancakes and pan-fried dumplings made by Hannah, along with some pastries she had made earlier.
The only downside was perhaps the lack of variety in ingredients.
This reminded Elijah that eggs and milk could still be found, but meat would soon become scarce.
