Chapter 80: Benefits Of Snow Goggles
“Dinner is ready! Pay attention to receive it. Considering it’s getting late and everyone is hungry, I didn’t take photos and just sent it directly. The taste is pretty good!”
Sad Pig Intestine shouted in the channel, startling everyone.
He said the taste is pretty good, so that’s solid!
Thinking of good food, Yu Jiang swiftly packed up the workbench with lightning speed, put it in the truck bed’s small tent, and cleared the clutter off the table.
She joyfully set out today’s dinner. The mushroom deer bone soup was very fresh, without the gamey taste imagined, and the roasted deer meat was even more fragrant, marinated with seasonings and sprinkled with chili powder.
It was all the best ribs and fan bones. Outside it was freezing cold, but eating roasted deer meat in the RV, everyone in the friend channel was praising Sad Pig Intestine’s cooking skills—life was very comfortable.
When Yu Jiang opened a window crack to let out the smell, she felt the temperature drop a bit more.
She put the uneaten half of the food in the refrigerator, turned off the kerosene stove, took out the anti-freeze anti-hail car cover and put it over the front windshield, then hugged the thermos cup full of hot water back.
The thermos cup was placed in the small cabinet by the bed, specially filled with a bottle of warm water. If thirsty in the middle of the night, she could just reach out and grab it.
Quilt seal is like this: if she could lie down, she absolutely wouldn’t sit up.
Yu Jiang’s cotton quilt had been changed to a down quilt, and the cotton quilt was also kept on the bed, moved to the side as backup.
The sound of falling snow continued all night.
White noise helps with sleep, but sleeping in the vehicle during such heavy snow didn’t feel very safe, especially hearing something walking past on the snowy ground—the crunching footsteps were very clear.
The next day, after dawn, Yu Jiang sat up from the bed and first reached out to pull open the curtains.
What met her eyes was a vast white world. The road ahead was covered with a layer of snow, making it hard to tell where the road was and where the grassland was.
As a southerner, Yu Jiang had truly never seen such a desolate and grand snowy scene—it was just too cold.
Today’s temperature was -10 to -15 degrees, with a big snow expected in the afternoon.
The insulated car cover could only cover the front windshield and rearview mirror. Now the rear windows were frozen over with accumulated snow.
She’d only seen it in videos before, but now she rolled down the car window and punched to shatter the thin ice layer.
Don’t say it, it felt kinda refreshing, very de-stressing.
Yu Jiang had just opened the car door, holding a scavenged plastic toy shovel, preparing to clear the snow near the truck bed’s small tent. She shivered as soon as she opened the door.
“Hiss,” Yu Jiang shrank her neck. This temperature wasn’t just cold; her skin felt stinging.
She took out frostbite cream and applied it to her exposed skin. It felt much better when she went out again—the protection effect was very good. The scroll obtained with such a harsh debuff was totally worth it!
The truck bed had two areas: one side held the ultra-small bathroom with its own sheet metal, and the remaining space she had modified, using steel brackets to build a square tent, similar to a backpack living box shape.
Mainly worried that accumulated snow on the tent top would eventually be unable to bear the weight.
While clearing the snow, Yu Jiang’s gloved hands were ice-cold, and she shivered all over.
After clearing, she hurried back inside, poured hot water from the thermos cup into a disposable paper cup, and held it to warm up.
In the friend channel, everyone was posting pictures of their vehicle hoods and roofs covered in snow.
Lightning Mage King’s cat car ears were covered in snow, standing like a small igloo on the vast white road.
28-bar Bicycle: “Heard the snow sound all night without stopping yesterday, felt something bad was coming. Woke up this morning and looked at the window—hey! It was frozen!”
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: “Yesterday afternoon: Southerners ecstatic. This morning: Not hee hee.”
“Anti-skid chains are already installed, but my manual small truck isn’t very stable 『sigh』 this is tricky now. Any northerners? Please share snow driving experience.”
Purple Butt Can Do It: “Don’t worry, in this weather any vehicle can slip easily. Thinking like that, doesn’t it feel much more relaxed?”
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy: “You’re good at comforting. Truck slipping means I can’t go anywhere for a while.”
Yu Jiang spoke up at this time: “I have steel anti-skid chains here. Those who need can trade with me, friendly price for processing.”
Pure Love Cockroach had traded with her before, but some friends didn’t have anti-skid chains yet, so Yu Jiang mentioned it specifically.
Sad Pig Intestine: “Big Shot, if you have enough stock, I want another set as backup.”
But a Little Frost: “Me too!”
Everyone was thinking the same. Before, when the temperature hadn’t dropped, one set was enough. Now, looking at this pace, the temperature won’t stop until -15 degrees. Of course it’s better to stock an extra set, or if not, more chains is good too.
Yu Jiang had been making tire anti-skid chains bit by bit lately, with dozens in hand and materials available. As long as fatigue value wasn’t high, she could make them anytime.
Sneaky Player Sixth Brother Blacksmith could also make anti-skid chains. He said in the channel: “I can provide them too, don’t worry. Friendly price for our own people, same as Big Shot.”
“Report your numbers in the channel, and Sixth Brother Blacksmith and I will send them in order.”
After solving the issue for her own people, Yu Jiang listed the remaining anti-skid chains on the trading platform, keeping only one set for herself.
Many players were still asking if she could list more cotton. If she said none left and they didn’t believe her, there was nothing she could do.
She wouldn’t easily sell her stockpiled share unless the offer was one she couldn’t refuse. The previous conscience price was impossible now.
At this moment, the trading platform and public screen were everywhere collecting snow tires and anti-skid chains. Those selling hand warmers also made a fortune.
It was Wholesale Wang Defa. When the weather wasn’t cold yet, she bought several big packs of hand warmers at low price, started selling yesterday, and they were selling very well today.
Frostbite isn’t a small matter. Getting frostbite is the mildest; limb necrosis from freezing is game over.
Yu Jiang casually checked the overall situation on the trading platform, took out wild vegetable savory pie and soy milk for breakfast. After eating, she prepared to set off early, best to complete the mission before the afternoon big snow.
Trading platform messages kept popping. She opened it and saw the tire anti-skid chains at double processing fee and materials had sold out—it was only about ten minutes.
WithWind220: 【How come every time we need supplies, The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain has them? Did she know info in advance?】
Little Orange Cat: 【You say it like that’s true.】
Storm Lord: 【Can’t leave us ordinary people a way to live? At least give a hint!】
Strawberry Candy: 【Temperature drop wasn’t one or two days. Half a month ago many were collecting cotton. Didn’t you think to prepare?
Big Shot willing to sell supplies at this price, what more to say? Be content! If Big Shot stops listing supplies, don’t make it so we can’t get any either!】
Quanda Zhen Guanxi: 【Exactly, go check the price of anti-skid chains before Big Shot listed them—1 for three or four level four component cards!】
Seeing this, many quickly turned into fence-sitters, distancing themselves, begging Yu Jiang to list more supplies, saying anyway she could craft them.
Yu Jiang ignored them. She wasn’t a turtle in a wishing pool, giving whatever they said.
Driving in heavy snow was already more mentally taxing, fatigue value rose fast. If her own team needed, she could help craft on the spot, at worst eat some blueberries and Qi Replenishing Drink to hold up.
For these strangers, she wouldn’t delay her own mission departure.
Yu Jiang took out snow goggles and put them on.
No need for windproof inside the vehicle, but staring at snow-covered scenes for long could cause snow blindness.
Snow goggles perfectly solved this. After putting them on, a soft filter added to the view—not only didn’t affect vision, but also alleviated visual fatigue.
