A few days passed in a flash.
The town was without electricity and water, and there was howling snow and wind. Residents could not go out on the streets during the day, and there was no lighting at night. There was limited things they could do, and food was becoming more and more scarce.
The sea monster attack happened to occur in June, a warm month, and residents had not yet started to store for the winter. New potatoes had just matured and had not yet been harvested in large quantities, pumpkins and tomatoes were half green and half yellow hanging in the fields, and asparagus, cabbage, and broccoli were also waiting to be picked and eaten. A heavy snow fell, and the tomatoes in the protagonist's parents' home were frozen into lumps of ice, and the same was true for other people's gardens.
Without enough vegetables and grains, we can only survive on frozen seafood. The first meal is a treat, but after eating it for two or three days, we will get tired of even the freshest seafood.
Ellian used lobster and fish to make a clear soup base, thawed the frozen meat piled in the yard, chopped it into fish balls, meat balls and octopus balls, and skewered them on thin wooden skewers. He also skewered various slices of sausage, bacon, fresh lotus root slices, water chestnuts, water spinach and sweet and tender cattail roots. He used hot pot dipping sauce sold in the supermarket as the seasoning for malatang, and made a few meals of malatang in a not-so-proper way.
