Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Vacuum Packaging Machine

In the evening, after Su Jin entered the Space, she noticed that the rice and corn she had harvested last time had grown again and seemed almost ripe.

Lu Guanhai had also planted some other fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupes, eggplants, and even specially planted bananas for Local Tyrant Gold…

“Grandpa, isn’t there a way to make the stuff in the Space into food that’s easier to preserve?” Su Jin asked Lin Yunguo while leaning on the sofa in the main hall of the Lu Residence.

“There is a way, but we’re missing something,” Lin Yunguo had thought about this problem before but hadn’t expected Su Jin to ask about it today.

“What are we missing? We can go look for it.”

As long as it wasn’t too hard to find, she could use the Space to bring it back.

“A vacuum food sealer and compatible sealing bags.”

Lin Yunguo knew the owner of a small workshop near City H, which specialized in home cooking. By using the vacuum sealer to remove all air from the bags, bacteria and microbes would lose their environment to survive.

If it were cooked meats, they could be preserved for about half a month; dried fruits could even last a year, and cured meats and sausages had an even longer preservation time.

“How big is the vacuum sealer? Does it use a lot of electricity?”

Upon hearing this, Su Jin became interested, but if it were a large machine, not to mention that the villa couldn’t accommodate it, even placing it in the Space would be challenging to maintain for a long duration due to its high power consumption.

“There are smaller ones. The one in that nearby workshop only comes up to my waist,” Lin Yunguo said, standing up and gesturing.

Such a small machine, although it might pack less food each time, could definitely be used in both the Space and the villa.

But where to find such a vacuum sealer?

With this question in mind, Su Jin left the Space and ran into Lin Cheng, who was heading upstairs. Seeing Su Jin frowning, he asked what was the matter.

“A vacuum sealer? There are plenty of places that have those; they’re not expensive equipment,”

Lin Cheng was aware of such machines, as many street food shops actually had them. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

“Really? Thank you, Uncle!”

Su Jin had decided that starting tomorrow, she would look for this type of machine.

If only she had thought of this before the Apocalypse, when she could have rallied the family to stock up. Who would have imagined that one day they would have more supplies in the Space than they could eat, even to the point of needing to sell them.

For the next day’s plan, Su Jin discussed with Lu Hao and decided to split up; Lu Hao would head to the Refuge with Guo Yang, Xue Wanyi, Yin Chengtian, and Shi Jin to discuss the store matters with Liang Jiuhui, while the others would accompany Su Jin to find the vacuum sealer.

However, early the next morning, Liao Yifan complained to Su Jin that she might not be able to go out today and would have to stay at home to look after the house. Su Jin could tell at a glance that she was on her period and kindly fetched a few packs of sanitary pads from the Space for her.

“Thank you, Su Jin. I’m glad I didn’t go to Guo Yang for them; I didn’t expect you to have them here too,”

Liao Yifan had initially considered asking Guo Yang if he had such items in his Space, but since he was a man, she hadn’t quite mustered the courage to ask, so she had come to ask Su Jin for leave first. To her surprise, Su Jin had them.

“Feel free to use them. I have plenty more in my Space. Guo Yang probably only has diapers,” Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh when she recalled what Guo Yang had collected in the mall previously.

“Diapers? Why would he collect diapers?” Liao Yifan asked, puzzled.

“Ahem, maybe he was planning to sell them.”
