"There are also a lot of centipedes on the top floor." Yang Qing said through the door, "Do you want me to open the door and let you in?"

Li Liang looked up and smiled, "Sister-in-law, no need, I'll just climb up. This height won't trouble me."

Li Liang talked to his parents, climbed up the drainage pipe on the side, and quickly climbed to the top floor.

"Dad, throw me the bamboo broom." Li Liang stuck his head out from above.

Father Li picked up the broom and threw it upward. Li Liang reached out to take it and slapped the centipede on it. Yang Qing and the others could hear the snapping sound from the top.

After working for a long time, all the centipedes on the top floor and in the yard were killed. There were also many people catching centipedes outside. Gradually, no more centipedes came in the yard.

Yang Qing walked out and brought several snakeskin bags to Li Liang, "Xiao Li, pack up all the centipedes and weigh them. I'll give you the grain."

"Hey!" Li Liang was overjoyed, but he didn't expect to give him food right away.

Yang Qing gave him another shovel to shovel all the centipedes into the bag.

Father Li held the bag while Li Liang shoveled the centipedes into the bag.

Lu Lin took out the scale and weighed all the centipedes. They weighed a total of 500 kilograms.

"Give him the new rice." Yang Qing said quietly to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin nodded, took out five kilograms of grain to Li Liang, weighed it for him to see, "This is five kilograms of grain, you keep it!"

"Thank you!" Li Liang looked at Lu Lin and saw her looking at him with a smile, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Xiao Li, tell your colleagues and others that I can exchange centipedes for food here, and everyone is welcome to come and exchange." Yang Qing said.

"Hey, I know, sister-in-law, thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Liang nodded with a smile.

"Wait a minute." Yang Qing stopped him again and whispered: "What I gave you is new rice, and what others gave you may be broken rice. Don't tell others."

"Sister-in-law, then I..." Li Liang was surprised.

"It's okay. You and Leng Yi are comrades in arms, and you helped me clean up the yard. You should." Yang Qing smiled.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Liang thanked him again and again, and told his parents to keep it a secret and quickly put the food away.

The three of them walked out of the yard, Yang Qing closed the iron door and turned on the electricity.

Yang Qing moved five large bags of centipedes into the house and immediately threw them into the space, otherwise they would be too smelly.

After a while, I entered the space again and found that the centipede had lost its smell. When I opened the bag, I saw that all the yellow spots on the centipede's head had disappeared.

Looking at the space, nothing seems to have changed.

Suddenly, Yang Qing saw a small yellow ball floating in the air, glowing faintly.

Hey, could this be the energy absorbed from the centipede?

Yang Qing was very sure that this small ball did not exist in space before, and it should have come from the centipede.

If more centipedes are collected, will the ball become larger and larger, and the space will be upgraded to a certain extent?

Yang Qing is looking forward to it.

Leng Yi came back around noon, followed by many people, many of whom came with centipedes in exchange for food.

They wanted to see if they could really get food in exchange.

Yang Qing temporarily turned off the iron door, but did not let them in. He moved the scales outside and weighed them one by one.

Then she and Lu Lin put the broken rice in the space into bags, one bag per kilogram, one hundred kilograms of centipedes for one bag of grain, and several bags for several hundred kilograms, so it was easy to calculate.

Leng Yi helped everyone weigh centipedes outside. After weighing them, he wrote on a piece of paper how many kilograms of grain they could exchange for. Yang Qing read the note inside the iron gate and gave the grain.

Whenever she came across something that weighed less than a hundred pounds, Lu Lin would weigh it loose and give it to others so that they would not suffer any loss.

They still have a few hundred kilograms of broken rice in their space, which can be exchanged for at least tens of thousands of kilograms of centipedes, which they can afford in a short while.

When there is no broken rice, just go to the mouse to change it.

In the afternoon, the three of them were busy when Hao Zhiguo suddenly came with several people.

"Xiao Leng, I heard that you are trading grain for centipedes? Why are you trading for centipedes?" Hao Zhiguo asked.

Others also looked at the three people, and they also wanted to know the reason.

Yang Qing smiled and said, "Boss, come in and sit down. I'll talk to you slowly!"

She turned to Lu Lin and said, "You help here, I will go into the room to talk to the leader."

"Don't worry!" Lu Lin nodded.

Yang Qing invited Hao Zhiguo into the house and closed the door, not wanting anyone outside to see what was going on inside.

Hao Zhiguo walked in and took a look. In fact, it was not as luxurious as he imagined. It had a floor, a dining table and chairs, and nothing else.

Of course he couldn't be seen in the room.

Yang Qing took out a bottle of mineral water and gave it to Hao Zhiguo, "Boss, please drink some water."

Hao Zhiguo took a look, picked up the mineral water and opened it to drink. To be honest, they rarely drank mineral water. They only drank seawater purified water, and some were good.

After half a bottle of water, it's so sweet and delicious.

"Leader, the reason why we exchange grain for centipedes is because these centipedes are edible." Yang Qing said.

"Can it be eaten?" Hao Zhiguo was shocked.

Centipedes started to appear in the middle of the night yesterday and injured many people. Some people even died when centipedes entered their mouths and noses.

They were so busy that they had no time to study whether the centipede was poisonous or harmful. How did they know that centipedes were edible?

"Have you eaten?" Hao Zhiguo asked.

"That, not really." Yang Qing smiled awkwardly. She didn't want to eat that thing, so she made up a lie, "That's it, we killed the centipede and accidentally eaten it by the dog at home. We found that the dog was fine at all. I guess Centipedes are edible.”

"Is that so..." Hao Zhiguo frowned, as if he didn't quite believe it.

"Leader, I did an experiment. One pound of centipedes was dried and ground into powder, and almost no weight was lost, at most 10%. If all the centipedes were ground into powder, then our future food problem would be solved."

"Add a little bit of flour as a binding agent to make centipede powder cake, and you won't have to worry about running out of food in the future."

"But can people eat this stuff? It's so smelly?" Hao Zhiguo frowned.

Yang Qing snorted, "Leader, don't look at what time it is. The high temperature has lasted for so long, and the trees on this mountain are about to die. As time goes by, not to mention the grass, even the roots of the trees will have to be eaten. "

"No matter how smelly centipedes are, aren't they more delicious than tree roots? Besides, it was recorded in traditional Chinese medicine books that centipedes can be used as medicine, mainly because of their toxicity. These centipedes are not poisonous, but they are also edible."

"I heard that the official base in Mingcheng has a good environment for growing food, but if the high temperature continues and there is no water source, when will the food be grown? Even if it is grown, when will it be our turn for the summer market? Have you ever thought about it?"

"We can only help our people in Xia Shi if we save ourselves."

"I have calculated that if one hundred catties of centipedes are exchanged for one catty of grain, excluding a small amount of losses, it is almost a hundred times the profit. On the day when the ammunition and food are exhausted, we will still have centipede cakes to eat, so we will not starve to death. "

"Then we have great hope of surviving and rebuilding our homeland after the end of the world!"

Hao Zhiguo was shocked when he heard this. Indeed, the little girl had thought too far. They had inside information. The end of the world was far more than that. There were many disasters waiting for them. Without food reserves, it was impossible to survive until the end.

Whoever has the most food has the most hope.

I didn’t expect that they would come up with such a good idea of ​​making cakes out of centipedes.

"Moreover, I found a way to remove the smell of centipede. Without the smell, the centipede powder cake will not be so difficult to swallow."

"Wait a minute!" Yang Qing pretended to go to the room to get something, took out a small pack of centipedes from the space and handed it to Hao Zhiguo, "Leader, smell it, does it no longer stink?"

When Hao Zhiguo smelled it, there was indeed no smell. He was shocked and asked, "How did you do that?"

Yang Qing smiled, "This is our secret, we can't tell you!"
