Gina actually realized there was starting ten virtual coins in base so she bought few seeds before she could start.
So she bought as well one more plot as first additional plot was five virtual coins but needed ten minutes of building time.
Planting turnips was free so she planted again more after getting these  and started cooking.
Not one drop oil, meat or anything else was seen, but she has to deal with what she has.
So she julienned carrots and placed in dry pot to warm them up to get smoky smell and added water, salt, diced turnips and onions.
There must be some other way to eat these, but right now she didn't have much time so she dealt with what she had.
She didn't put too much water to shorten the time and as fire was strong, the stew started already cooking not even thirty minutes later.
Actually, she placed the water in space and took water from space as she saw there was something like faucet and summoned water from faucet into that big pot.
She actually summoned whole pot first into space to make sure no bacteria would stay in pot and then summoned back, then summoned all water she started using now to wash the room.
"Mom, don't wash it. Grandma said we can stay here only three days. After that we have to find new home. You know that uncle and his family are struggling in that fisherman's village. They want to bring them here." The older boy spoke and made her sigh.
She didn't even know her son's name.
"I understand. What would you say if we go to fisherman's village and stay there?" She might not be smart, but she was certain she can get some fisherman's equipment and use it to get fishes she could sell.
In world that was not dirty from microplastic and all other nasty things, she might as well sell things or exchange them for needed items."
The two boys thought of it. "Ask grandma."
She sighed. "I feel dizzy. Go bring grandma here. Tell her I'm sick and I want to speak to her."
The older one stood up and left.
By the sound of steps he walked down the hallway to last door and knocked.
"Mom wants to speak to you grandma. She is sick and needs to ask you about fisherman's village." He was smart and asked directly.
Suddenly a sound of steps was heard and door opened up.
What Gina saw was dirty woman with old clothes but huge eyes that were filled with tears. "Told you. Go to village. Even if you gather oysters or small fishes, you and your sons cans survive. Gianni is coming here as he got job in harbor and he will earn enough to live good with his wife and two children. Gina, I'm happy you snapped out of your grief. Look, Luigi is already gone. You must think of your children. And earning money as woman is impossible. Washing clothes with your thin arms? You know you tried and it went so bad that they kicked you out of the washing house. Child, I'm happy you changed your mind."
Gina almost cursed the other Gina that gave up this life if she had an option. What stupidity...
